likes q decisive finish Under the
present system in New York and other
states where. official decisions are not
rendered a decisive battle is unde-
niably popular.
If referees decisions were permit
ted I think it would tend to lessen
the desire for knockout finishes. Most
fans would be satisfied if the fight
ers were both on their feet at the
end of a bout if the referee was al
lowed to name the winner, and in my
mind the rules prohibiting such off
cial action generates a desire in the
public mind for knockOuts.

TEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 29.-

smaller classes had the call with the

been shifted. The heavies are again
in favor with the fans, who are clam
oring for more bouts between big men.
To satisfy the latest public demand
the larger clubs are offering induce
ments to bring the classiest of the
white heaYyweights TO this city, and
with fair success as may be noted in
the advance bulletins issued by the
promoters. More matches between big
fellows are scheduled right now than
at any one time before in the history

Forward Pass Too Hazardous.
Yale demonstrated that it is prac-
tically impossible to puncture a good
defence when the resisting side is
backed up to its own goal line 1t has
also been shown that the outlet de-
signed to open up the defence, the
forward pass across the goal line, is
too risky.
As a result the field goal is now the
popular scoring factor.
E.Push and Pulp Needed.

nege of assisting the runner with the

members of the attacking team.

the principal cause of the big injury

the chances are that the touchdown
