DUNDEE NEARER
 A BOXING GROWN
Made Good Showing in Bout with Willie Ritchie,

Johnny Dundee. the sturdy little box CT, will have his chance to win the lightweight championship of America in the near future. Dundee boxed a four-round draw with Willie Ritchie in San Francisco on last Friday night and Jimmy Coffroth is negotiating with the managers of both men for a 20 round bout at the lightweight linn it to decision.
 It was the opinion of those who saw the match on Friday that Dundee had a wide margin at the end. The fact that Ritchie is champion and that the contest was only of four rounds no doubt influenced Jim Griffin, the ref erees
 Dundee fought one of the best bat ties of his life. The fact that he was facing the champion and that Ritchie had the better of fourteen pounds in weight-he weighed 142 pounds-never phased the New York Italian for a moment. He ripped and tore away absolutely without fear or respect, and had Ritchie fighting. like 8, wild man to hold his own. Dundee was lightning fast with his leads and placed his punches with force and effect. He drew first blood with a right hook to the fact in the first round and never let down..

rarne of the season at the Academy and that is with Bulkefey this after noon. Scrimmage was eliminated, as Coach Overbagh did not want to take any chances on injuries
 It Is the general opinion among the camp followers of the red and white that one Of the biggest surprises will be pulled off today. as Bulkeley. thinks they are running up against something soft and they seem to have forgot the fighting spirit that has always pre- vailed at the academy.
 N. F. A. must get the jump on the ball from the start and hold 1t in order to win and Captain Murtha, realizing this fact, had his men practicing starts a big part of Friday afternoon, catch ing punts and working the forward passes. At a mass meeting held in the Slater hall practically fhe whole school turned out and practiced the cheers and songs Very inspiring remarks were given by Principal Tirrell, Coach Overbagh, F. s. Bunnell and R. V. Congdon. The school intends to turn out in a body today, girls included, and with the assistance of a drum corps intend to make some noise.
 Manager Mulkins had squad work ing on the field this week and he re- ports that it is in readiness for the battle He has secured referee from the Springfield Training school and Keefe of New London will umpire.

Jack Johnson has agreed to fight Jess Willard for the heavyweigh championship of the world.

We expect to hold the contest at Juarez, Mexico, which is just across the bor- der line from Fl Paso, Tex How soon the match will be held 1t is as yet impossible to say, but Johnson is in pretty good condition, and unless he is tied up with theatrical contracts on the other side the contest will be held this winter r

HARVARD PLAYERS APPEAR
 IN NEW HEAD GEAR
Crimson Men. Win be Protected by
 Newly Designed Helmets.

The Harvard helmet, designed for the absolute protection of the head and neck of all members of the Grim son football team, will make it's first game today. The Haughton play CTS, with three-quarters of their head covered by the thick leather protec- tors, will hardly .-be recognized from the Stadium, but the head coach in- sists that his men be protected from lall possible injuries with the tag-end of the Cambride schedule filled with hard contests.
 The news helmet was designed by pr!
 Paul Wilmington, assistant graduate treasurer of the Harvard Athletic As sociation. It covers the whole of the forehead, leaving the face from the eyebrows to the chin visible, and then reaches down the back of the neck of each player. The men look like a troupe of deep-sea divers in their hel-
 ments, but they know they are not in danger of hard knocks while playing their game.
 Each Harvard player will go into all future games with from seven to eight pounds of protective paraphernalia on his body, not including elastic ban some of the men also put on. The new helmet alone weighs nearly three pounds, the knee pads that the Grim son men wear weight half pouno
 each, and the shoulder pads of thick
 leather and padding are more than
 three pounds heavy.
 It was said tonight that while Ma han was in good playing condition and
 might be put into the game for any
 emergency, the Harvard football au- thorities were not disposed to take
 unnecessary chances of another injury | to him and that therefore Hardwick
 would go in as halfback tomorrow.
 Hardwick's place at end will be taken
 by Smith.
