looked a sure beating by Mcfarland.
But then Jim knows his own business
best, suppose.
I wonder who Packey will tackle
next. I don't see where he can
hope to get any matches worth while
in the lightweight division unless he
decides to accept Ritchfe's PROPOSE
ton to box at 1875 ringside. There
is talk of matching him with Mike
Gibbons, and Packey has assented,
provided the ST. Paul man will make
145 pounds ringside. Matchmaker
Billy Gibson, Of the Garden, wired
Gibbons a liberal offer, but Mike re-
piled that 145 at in the afternoon
is the best he will do for McFarlandd.
Unless the latter will let Mike come
in on his own terms there is small
chance of the clever boys clashing-
at least in the near future
1t is a matter of regret that Mike
and Packey can't be brought togeth-
er. I am warm adn1irer of both
boxers in the game to-day. not ex-
cepting Freddy Welsh, and the Eng
lish champion can always be depend
ed upon to show something fancy ev-
cry time he starts. And I consider
that Mike and Packey will be very
evenly matched If Gibbons is allowed
to weigh in at $50 pounds-that is
for a ten round bout. A longer dis
lance might prove severe handi-
cap to Mcfarland who would prob
ably not weigh over 142 at the most,
but for the ten rounds 1 doubt if any
$50 pound man could do much dam
age to him. Say that Packey would
be giving eight pounds away-that
would not be so great a handicap for
man of his marvellous speed and
skill.
I sincerely hope Billy Gibson sue
ceeds in finding an opponent for Nc
F'arland worthy of his skill. How
ever, doubt if he can do it owing to
weight differences. Either Freddy
Welsh or Willie Ritchie might be able
to make matters interesting for the
stock-yards' boxer, but it is doubt
full if either will allow him to weigh
1875 at in the afternoon Outside
of that pair I can't think of a single
member of the lightweight fraternity
who would stand the ghost Of chance
with the ninble Mcfarland. If Glib
son can persuade Packey to box Glib
bons he will confer a great favor on
fight efo1loWerSzaS a match between
the sk1lfuf couple would be an ideal
one; and the Garden would be fur
ment in which science and skill par
excellence would predominant. s
Lightweight Champion Ritchie's
first battIe-after the Cross match
was to have been with Ad Wolsast
in Milwaukee early next month. But
the unfortunate injury to the former
champion upsets Willie's plans. It
is probable that he will elect to re-
main in New York until the Holidays.
Richie informed me the other day,
that he would take on several bouts
in addition to the Gross contest, but
did not melton the names of his
prospective opponents. It is thought
however, that Jack Britton and
Young Shugrue are favored by local
promoters, with Mcfarland, of
course, having first call if he can
come to an agreement with the cham
pion on the weight question.

son Team.

Today the Bulldog eleven passed its
mid-season with a game with wash
fngton and Jefferson, which is regard
ed by the coaches as a hard contest,
in which it is hardly to be expected
that the g to victory Of last year
will be repeated. Washington and JEFF
ferson has strong line and back
field, which brought to Penn State last
Saturday the only defeat that Coach
Ho1linbeck's warriors have sustained
in three years by rolling up score
of IT to 0.
Capt. Goodwin is formidable
drop-kicker. Incidentally Penn State
plays Harvard today and interesting
comparisons are expected. AS for the
Washington mans attitude towards to-
days game, Coach Bob F'olwell is very
confident Of coming off with honors.
captain who with present Coach Hal
1enbeck of Penn State and Eddie
Greene of New Haven, who once
headed the New Haven high schools
eleven, led the Quakers to victories
for three successive seasons
Yale entered the game today with
an impaired varsity team, the long
sick list having been disastrously add
ed to yesterday when Pendleton and
Marrying were put out of practice on
account of injuries; and, although it
is expected that both will be we'll by
the time of the Brown game in two
weeks, still their presence at today s
affair would have been more import
ant. Pendleton hurt his knee Thurs
day and played after the hurt was
received. He will therefore not be
able to make the kicks after goals,
and Ketcham will probably have to
resume his old job. Marrying tore q
muscle in the upper part of his foot
in yesterdays practice. Caldwell has
been put in at center, Warren moved
to guard, and Madden stationed in
Warren's place.

AROUND THE CIRCUIT
President O'ROurke And Gene M'Cann
To Visit Minor League Convention

sent to Mack's farm at Baltimore last
season. Manager Chance hasn't an
nounced his choice of Walsh yet but
he will probably take the youngster.
Walsh played with Northampton
when Billy Luby managed the club
and he was drafted by the Athletics.
Ad wo1gast denies that he is will
ing to tackle the winner of the
Ritchie-Cross bout at any weight
Wolgast says he wants 1913 two hours
before the fight. Two hours after the
fight he'll want an ambulance.
Red Jewell, the lighting blacksmith
who was seen quite frequently in local
enter the game again and is looking
for bouts
A player on the University of vir-
ginia eleven is 81 years old and his
name is Maiden. He ought to be
called Old Maid. They say Jim Hogan
was over 81 when he made his great
record on the Yale team.
Mahmout, the great wrestler who
met Frank Gotch and other Ameri-
can stars while in this country, was
recently killed by some Bulgarian
bandits. Mahmout was an officer in
the Bulgarian army and was return
ing with pay for his men when way
laid by the bandits.
Harvard has lost a star end in Mil
holland who quit the game because of
water on the knee. He was a capable
end and a good drop kicker. Another
one of his claims to distinction is the
fact that he is a brother of Inez Mil
holland. the beautiful suffragette.

MUDDY GRIDIRONs FOR
COLLEGE TEAMS TO-DAY

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 25-AIthough
muddy ground slowed down the work
of the University of Pennsylvania's
back field, Red and Blue supporters
felt confident of victory over the Car
Isle Indian football team today. Coach
Brooke put his eleven through a final
signal drill yesterday in a downpour
of rain, and this gave them an excel
lent chance to become acquainted with
the field and accustomed to handling a
wet ball. The Indians are lighter than
the home team by about 10 pounds to a
man.

Cambridge, Mass, Oct 25-coach
Hollenbach's expressed hope for dry
field for the initial appearance of a
Pennsylvania state eleven in the Har-
ward Stadium was not realized. Rain
fell heavily through the night and this
forenoon the weather remained unset
tied. This was expected to handicap
the visiting team somewhat, as they
were depending on the speed they have
shown so far, this season, to offset the
greater weight of the Crimson. Hitch
cock had not sufficiently recovered
from his injury received in practice to
play at tackle for Harvard.
