New Orleans, Nov. 2S.-one OF the

contender for the crown now worn by
Kid Williams. Burns Is attempting to
force Williams TO cut down the latter's

that q twenty-round battle for the title
win be a possibility.
New Orleans IL now the only city
in the country where twenty-round
championship battle can be staged.
Two local promoters have negotiated
with Williams for match with Burns.
and upon receiving the champions
terms, have thrown their hands up in
disgust Williams asks $4,000. WIN

out of the question" declares Burns.
My price, naturally, with chance at
the title would be low. But at the low
est, the promoters figure that they
must play to a house OF close to t12.-
900 TO break even. and neither of them
wish to take the chance. have just
knocked out Kid Herman in twelve
rounds-this was the only match be-
tween myself and chance at the title.
Now along comes Williams and stops
all negotiations when he cannot get
$1,000 for his end. heretofore un-
known purse for a bantam.
"A man is worth what he draws at
the gate. ! am willing to take fair
percentage, and the promoters are will
ing to give the champion 50 per cent
with a guarantee of $1,000. do not
believe Williams cares to risk his
crown with me. and for that reason he
is placing a value on his services which
makes the match out OF question and
robs me OF my chance at the champion
ship. I am going to keep after him
until public opinion forces him TO ac-
cept a reasonable proposition or else

WHAT IS THE MATTER
WITH CARLISLE TEAMl
Football Experts Are Questioning Poor
Showing Made by Indians
in 1914.

New York, Nov. 2S-'what's the mat
ter with Carlisle?' is the big football
question of the year. and even Glen
Warner, the great coach OF the Indian
eleven, seems unable to make answer.
Not in years has any Carlisle team
made as poor a showing as has Warner
1914 outfit Carlisle always has had a
team that took rank with the greatest
IN the country. The Carlisle teams of
the past crushed the smaller colleges and
often played the biggest and strongest
either to a standstill. or went farther,
and gave them a beating.
But this year It is different. Carlisle
was beaten soundly, and against the type
Of foes that Carlisle would have consid-
cred easy meat in the other years.
The Carlisle team OF 1913 scored almost
as many points against the great Dart
mouth eleven in one game as has the
1914 eleven in six games this year against
foes that are considered weaklings in
comparison with Dartmouth.
The strangest part Of the Carlisle re-
versaI Is the fact that the Carlisle team
of 1914 at the outset OF the season looked
to be just about as good as the 1913
eleven.
