/ OOTBALL JOY
ON MIDWAY
% Freshmen Swear Loyalty
to Maroon Squad All
Given Numerals.

Football joy replaced the disappoint-
ment over the faculty prohibition of
a 1915 Harvard Chicago game yester-
day at the Maroon campus when the
annual inventory of gridiron material
for next years team showed the most
favorable results in the last three
years. Coach Page put the finishing
touches to the curernt season by dis
tributing numerals to twenty three
promising candidates for next falls
eleven. and every recipient declared
his intention of sticking by the squad.
According to the Midway estimate.
the favored twenty-three includes at
least half a dozen athletes of varsity
caliber and a dozen more who are
capable of starring with little more
development. As the freshmen per-
formers surprised the coaches by their
mental abilities this fall, it is believed
that the majority will be able to keep
up their scholastic standing and real
ize their hopes of exercising with tie
eligibles next September.

WOLGAST CLAIMS

Cadillac Fighter Asserts He

Pounds.

Although Ad Woigast lost the light
weight championship to Willie Ritchie,
the Cadillac fighter claims the 133
pound title OF the world and will de-
fend it against Charley White in their
ten-round contest In Milwaukee on De-
cember 19. Since he lost the cham
pionship to Ritchie. Woigast has
sought a return match, but the cham
pion will not agree to meet the former
champion at any weight under 1S5
pounds. Wolgast said he does not care
to tackle Willie at this figure.
White and Woigast have agreed to
make weifht at 1873 at 6 o'clock on the
day of the contest. This is an easy
figure for both. as White will not tip
the beam much over 1S0 pounds and
wolgast will be well under the notch.

MURPHY TO CLAIM
RITCHIE'S HONORS
Coffroth Says Postponed
Battle Cannot BE Fought
Before Feb. %.

San Francisco, Cal. Dec. 12.-"I will
claim the lightweight championship of
the world, now that Ritchie has re-
fused to fight me. I will defend 1t
against all comers at 1873 pounds, ring
side, or a few hours before entering
the ring.
This was the statement made yester-
day by Harlem Tommy Murphy, the
great little New Yorker, who was dis
appointed in his match with Willie
Ritchie Wednesday evening Murphy
was sore through and through. and so
was his manager, Jim Buckley. who
backed up his fighters claim.
In the meantime the lightweight
champion was undergoing another op-
Grafton in his room at the Continental
hotel. DR.. Mccarthy again probed the
abscess in Ritchie's nose and ordered
him to remain very quiet
"Ritchie's condition cannot be de-
termined for at least two weeks" said
DIR. Mccarthy after the operation. "I
believe that the abscess is the result
of some infection of the nose. He must
remain quiet and take no chances for
. at least fourteen days. 1 do not think
the injury is serious, but / cannot
make a definite announcement at pres
ent"
This means that there will be no
hope of a battle between Ritchie and
Murphy for more than a month, and
possibly two months. Promoter Jim
Coffroth held a long conference with
Jim Buckley yesterday and Buckley
agreed to start Murphy against Ritch-
! lie at any time. Coffroth. however, has
given up all hopes of staging the
match until February % at the earli-
/ est.
Murphy intends to remain here for
a few days longer, in the hope that
Ritchie will give him a definite an
swer. If he gets none he will go back
/ to New York at >once and spend the
holidays with his wife and babies.
