L T looks as though Harvard. the
football champion OF 1912, will
be. the chief sufferer by gradu-
alton Of its stars before next year
rolls around. and that Princeton,
which finished last among the big
three this yeal. win be the most
fortunate in that respect. In other
words, everything points to the
leading trio being more evenly
matched when they toe the scratch
tor the 1913 supremacy race.
Just al this time there is very
little to do In any branch OF the
realms of sport except to retrospect
and prognosticate. There is prac-
tically no activity in sport now and
there will be hardly any until the
baseball teams take to the South
on their training trips next spring.
With the close of the football sea-
son. the gridiron game still holds
the fort where gossips gather
around the camp fire and the stove,
and the points of prime importance
is what may be expected in the
next campaign.
Four men now who rank among
the foremost cogs in the machine

In addition. there are Lawson,

good enough to be regulars on any
Harvard team of modern times.

OF course, there will be Brickley.

CHANCE FOR
PUBLIC To LOSE
IN co TUESDAY
+ rs a good general proposition

r rs a good general proposition
that when you don't stand to
lose You consequently don't
stand to win. But with the Nor
ris- Kubiak bout set for Tuesday
night at the Dixie Athletic club this
doesn't seem to hold. For that is
one occasion where the fight fans
will not stand to lose-and yet they
have a chance of seeing one of the
big fights of a season that has been
punctuated with ali sorts of en-
gagements.
The point is this: The club will
issue rain checks" If the fight
isn't up to specifications. these
checks are good for the next fight
or even better than that, for your
money back at the door.
There isn't much hocus-pocus
about a deal like that The man
ager of the Dixie club is posing
as the guy that took the ache out
of fake-which is going some And
he promises to deliver. If you
aren't satisfied, the club will let you
see another fight free or will refund
your money.
The promoters of the game know
that this is the make or break
fight of the season. If it IS a GO
the game will go booming along, to
the satisfaction of everybody If it
isn't they'll tie Grape on the door
knob Of the Dixie Athletic club and
write fins" on the record of pub
lie fights in Atlanta.
The club isn't taking any I'M
necessary chances. They have
made the fighters agree to a To-
rs split, which means that both of
them will fight hard to get the big
end. OF course, this does not alb
solutely prevent the men from
framing if they want to- But it
doesn't seem likely that they viii
take a chance. In fact, Morris
came pretty well out of the nasty
mess in Chattanooga, but will have
to fight his best if he is to get any
more fights of consequence. He
knows only too we'll that if he
doesn't leave Atlanta with good
record his boxing days are num-
bered and it's back to the old en-
CINE" for Carl-for life
AS happens often enough. this
fight is likely to be the best of the
season The club, the referee
(who will be the justly celebrated
Mike SauD, the fighters, the back
ers and the promoters know that it
is up to them to make this fight
the big one of the sea son.
II it isn't-good-n night.
Spider Britt and Yankee
Schwartz will furnish the excite
ment at the semi-windup. They
are good kids and ambitious. They
will put on their famous hammer
and-tongs speciality and guarantee
that the public will see one rafting
fight. even if the rest aren't up to
the notCh--which they probably
will be.
