through the scattered field in the
early part OF the competition.
Jim Thorpe is an ideal football
player. He appears at halfback
because he is of greatest use at
this position. Put him anywhere on
the eleven. however, and he would
still be star. He has the strength,
size and weight for any line posi-
ton; the speed for an end.
He combines every quality Of
football skill. He is sure at han
ding punts and is in u class all by
himself at running them back. He
combines the crushing power and
hammering force of Brickley with
the kicking skill of this same indi-
vidual and the punting ability OF
FELTON, or Flynn.
Thorpe is the most deliberate
player in the country He never
becomes excited. never loses his
head. He can run tust as fast
with the ball as without it: he is a
sure tackle and is possessed of
such strength that he can keep on
like Ted Coy. with an army of
tacklers clinging to him.
His motive power is augmented
by the fact that he charges lower
than any back in football. He is
man of whalebone whose anatomy
is impervious to injury: a human
torpedo that ploWs its way through
all sorts of opposition.

CAN FRANCISCO, Nov 26.-The
y critics throughout the coun-
try appear to be of one mind
in regard to Ad Wolgast They
think the future is filed with fore
bodine for the worlds lightweight
champion.
Nor is the opinion based merely
on what happened with Joe Mandot
at New Orleans. The so-called
Michigan Wildcat seems to have
been going to worse ever since
he went under the knife a year
ago,
His four-round go with Willie
Richie in San Francisco few
months after leaving the hospital
conveyed a hint that Wolgasts nat
ural fighting qualities had been
impaired; his bout with Rivers
strengthened the suspicion; his
short contests with Teddy Ma
loney and Daniels failed Ia sub
stantiate the Wolgast claim that
- sojourn on the Cadillac farm had
restored his vigor while tho late
unpleasantness in the Southland
may be described as the closest
call of all for the king of the 1873
Founders.
1t is claimed by Wolgast that
things were not nearly as bad as
they We're reported at New orleans.
The spectators, he urged, saw the
affair through New Orleans specta-
cles, and the ringside correspond
ents We're SO saturated with the
local pride that every little trick
Mandot turned was exaggerated in
the describing.
Crowds With Under Dog. ga.
If New Orleans erred in the
manner described, it was both hu-
man and understandable. The in
clination in fight crowds all over
the world is to gloat when the I'M
der dog steals a march on the
champion and the incentive to cA-
ultation Is ever so much increased
when the under dog is home
product.
But New Orleans enthusiasm

There is nothing relating to sport
or athletic strife that Thorpe can
not do, and do exceptionally well.

Expert Naughton Thinks Wolgast Is Going Back
Appendicitis and Over-Confidence the Cause

score rendered Wolgast Wild, the
Southerner took advantage of the
champions mistakes and rolled up
credits that could not be wiped
out.
The lesson gathered from the
punch-for punch descriptions is
that had Mandot started out with
the same degree of confidence he
finished up with, there might have
been a new worlds champion. As
it is, Wolgast can pause amid his
protestations and thank his stars it
is no worse.
On all sides one hears the query
propounded: What is really the
matter with Wolgast?"
Operation Stirred Him Up.
To the writer 1t appears to be a
combination of appendicitis and

Splinter is u rarity. an eleven-sec-

ana il is beginning to look as
though Wolgast has been trans

What makes it worse in Ads
case is that fighting is as the
breath of his nostrils. He possesses
the typical pusilistic temperament,

more depressing than the jab Of a

He was, in fact, the ideal 13S-
FOUNDER and when it is considered
that there are few fighters in any
class who do not have to weaken
themselves to som extent to remove
the excess that acCumufated between
contests, it can readily be under
stood how Wolgast's natural ad-
vantages, combined with his indom-
liable fighting spirit, made him feel
and perform like a man who was
every inch and every pound
champion.
The idea is beginning to prevail
that Wolgasts final physical pow
ers have suffered and that his ex-
allied opinion of himself remains
intact. If it is that way. of course
he is bound to strike trouble before

singing his requiem until he Is

Courage and self reliance, such
