Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 10.-Packey
Mcfarland o~utpointed his opponent
Jack Britton, both Of Chicago, in a
ten-round no-decision boxing contest
before $500 spectators here. McFar-
land had the better of five rounds
while four were even and one was
Britton's. Both in the eighth and ninth
Packey had Jack groggy, but was un-
Pble to put him out.
Britton at times fought Mcfarland
to a standstill and even outboxed him
but this was only in flashes.
Throughout the battle Mcfarland
smiled at the audience and seemed to
be content with a lead over his lighter
opponent. "
The crowd jeered the boxers DURING
most Of the contest, and there were
numerous cries of Put 'em out!'
Stop the bout!"' Comparatively few
heavy, blows were. struck, and the
crowd left the arena far from think

CHICAGO EXPECTED TO DEMAND
RETURN GAME WITH HARVARD

Chicago, Dec. 10.-Negotiations for a
Chicago-Harvard football game next
fallHtook more definite shape Tuesday
at the Maroon c~ampus.when members
of the board of physical culture and
athletics received their first OFFICIAL no.
tice of the Crimson offer to meet Coach
Stays team Oct. "a or Oct. 81 at Cam
bridge. Announcement was made that
a special meeting would be held as
soon as possible to consider the eastern
invitation. . T..
The Midway athletic authorities, who
had been inclined to think the plans
for a battle with the Crimson team
were of a vague nature, had their
doubts removed when Pres. Harry
Pratt Judson received a communica-
ton from Coach Stage containing the
terms of Harvard's offer. President
Judson said he preferred not to discuss
the prospects for the game until after
the board meeting, but the rooters got
a fair idea of the campus sentiment
through other sources.
Want Return Came.
Dean Albion w. Small, Chicago's
conference representative, said there
were no Indications as to how the board
as a whole, would stand on the pro-
posal, but ~Yentured, the opinion that
the game would not be scheduled I'M
less Harvard would agree to play Chi
cago at Stage field in 1915. Members
of the board declared hat the Maroon
policy was decidedly against playing
any eastern team on a one-year con
tract.

Capt. Alfred Brown, the first swim
mer to go the whole length of the
Panama canal, is back in the United
States. He said that during the time
he was in the water he was caught
again n again IN swift currents and
whirlpools, made by the water flow
ing from the docks on the Atlantic side,
and once his legs became entangled in
the branches Of a submerged tree in
Gatun Lake, n for a moment he
thought he had. been, seized by an oc-
topus. r-...
Captain Brown said that the ar
rangements for swimming the canal
We're, made possible by the kindness
Of Colonel Goethals, in charge of the
zone.
1t was on the morning Of Nov. 90,
when the captain entered the water
Of Colon harbor. The locks were
filled and opened for him and he
swan through, followed by a motor
boat carrying attendants. On the
first day he swan t~wenty-four miles
through the locks and Culebra cut, and
starting again at S o'clock on the morn
ing of Nov. "a, he swan from Gamboa
to Balboa on the Pacific.
He was in the water t~wenty-four
hours and forty-five minutes, and
covered f~orty-one miles-twenty-fou
the first day and seventeen the sec
ond day. - .t %"s..
The excessive zeal was the hardest
thing to combat, and despite the
headNshield the swimmer wore, the
captain said the suns rays were
almost unbearable.
Captain Brown said that he en-
countered snakes in the lake, and
saw odd-looking little animals drop
from the branches of some trees, the
tops Of which were yet out Of the water.

intercollegiate dignity will be the
stumbling block in case the plans come
to nothing, according to the Chicago
students and alumni. The board men,
'bers assert that it would be undignifed
to &C to Cambridge without a return
game. The Chicago professors believe
the Maroons would lose prestige by
listing a single game.
Might Harm Schedule.
Another objection that cropped up
among members Of the faculty was
based on the fear that C~hicago's west
ern schedule would suffer as a result
of the journey to Cambridge so early
in the season. The football players
answered this argument with the state
ment that the Maroon team could be
w6rked up to it's best form by Oct. 81
and that the few practice sessions lost
and the h~ardships of travel would not
be serious.
A still more important barrier Will
be discussed in the coming board meet
ing. Several of the professors have
SHE'D at the probability that the game
might settle the national championship,
as the faculty deplores all attempts
to settle titles, even inside the confer
ence.
The students indicated tina they car
ed little or nothing about the dignity"
side of the question. Neither the stud
ent body nor the football players would
consider a one-year agreement as be-
lifting in any sense, and a fair share
OF the alumni are with them in this
sentiment. ~ -
