make a good fight, and If the oppor-

have trie dto stop Britton.
Those who saw the contest and who
have seen Mcfarland in other matches
said after the Britton contest that they
never saw Packey try so hard to put
an opponent away with one punch. 1t
might have been the south sider's Gag
erness to land the sleep producer that
made him miss so often, and the gem
eral opinion is that he alone should
not be blamed for the unsatisfactory
exhibition. -
Mcfarland undoubtedly aroused the
commissions ire when he refused to

HONOR FOR OLD
GRIDIRON HEROES

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. IA move
ment is on foot among the University
of Minnesota alumni to honor the old
time football players OF the university.
Football was started at the local in
stitution in the early COS. but until
1900 was practically unorganized. Pre-
vious to that time no coveted mono
grams were given out to the football
or other athletic heroes nor We're other
honors bestowed upon them.
Recently 1t has been discovered that
there are between fifty and 100 living
athletes, famous in their day, who have
been entirely ignored in any kind of
recognition and the records are being
scanned for men who soon will receive
medals
Most of those to be remembered at
this late day are now gray haired.
Some have become fathers and grand
fathers since they won applause on the
gridiron, but lost to fame so far as
tn university faculty was concerned.

services it is likely that Murphy would
make a trade in players only and Joe

and not being able to see their fouls.
