There was one fighter who lived up to
that name. He swept the world before
him in his day. Can you point TO q
fighter of his rushing type to-dayl
should say not. He was a tiny fellow
in stature, but what little mountain
of strength and grill The more clothes
he took off the bigger he got. Dick
Burge didn't want TO fight him when
we met to sign up for the worlds
lightweight title.
"Burge called the officials of the club
aside and said that he didn't propose
TO fight little boy like Lavigne. 1t
was a different story when little
Lavigne finally got big Burge into the
ring. Here's an old letter | ran across
the other day. IL dates back twenty
years. IL was written in the Gilsey

"Mr. Sam Fitzpatrick:
Dear Sir: have Just received from
Walcott's training quarters and he is
almost at weight, but | think 1t most
impossible TO keep him there. He has
an abscess coming on his jaw, and my

Defeat of Rice a Surprise in the
Sporting Writers Tourney.

As one Of the leading golfers Of the
newspaper fraternity, Grantland Rice
has made many a good score on the
various courses in the metropolitan
district, but the coa.5e up at Doyle's,
in Forty-second Street. where the
sporting writer's golf pool tournament
is being played, proved too tough for
him yesterday. and he went down to
defeat at the hands Of Al Hedley in
the qualifying round. Rice turned in
a score Of 1T, against so for Hcdley,
and then turned in mis- cue.
The brooks, ponds and bitches that
Jack Doyle has put into the game as
added hazards just to make it difficult
were too much of a handicap for Rice.
He was good on the long drives, but
fell down hard on his approach shots

TO SET Alright
YALE FOOTBALL
Committee Named to Seek
Out a New Coaching
system for Team.
tRr relerraph 70 The Tribune. ]

New Haven, Dec. AT a meeting
of the Yale Athletic Association here
tonight, TO consider the matter OF a
new football coaching system and
coach. a committee composed OF the
following men was appointed: Vance
Mccormick, '93; Samuel Brinkerhoff
Thorne, 90, and John r. Fitzpatrick, II.
( The committee is "a committee with
power to add TO its number TO confer
on the Yale football situation and 10
make TO the Yale University Football
Association such recommendations as
may seem desirable"
The selection of the committee is
regarded as the first step toward
general reorganization of Yale foot
ball. The personnel of the committee
indicates that the investigation they
will make will be a thorough one, for
none of the men have been actively
associated with any particular faction
in Yale football.
All Of them are successful business
men. Mccormick was graduated from
the Sheffield Scientific School, and in
1892 was captain of the Yale football
team. Brink" Thorne was one OF
Yale's famous captains. He led the
Blue eleven in 1895, the year after
RANK IllHhtHs HoN ltdh NOoNh' 49,
graduated Since leaving college Nc
Cormick and Thorne have not been
actively associated with Yale football,
except indirectly, in an advisory ca
pacity.
Fitzpatrick, who was All-America end
on Yale for two years and later cap
tanned the Yale track team, helped
coach the varsity this fall with Tom
Shevlin, but has never been considered
as closely connected with any particu-
lar Yale football system or faction.
The new football committee is con-
sidered the best one that could be ap-
pointed. for its members are in har-
mony with the different interests in
the corporation, the faculty and the
undergraduate body of students in ad
dition, and are men of considerable ex-
perience in business as well as football.
Their Investigations into the football
situation probably will cover consid-
cradle period of time, for at to-night's
meeting no date was set for report.
They will have ample opportunity to
90 into all the different phases OF the
matter, and il ia probable that their
report will be accepted when it is
made as the mature judgment Of the
best available Yale graduate ability of
football matters.

COLUMBIA FROWNS
AGAIN ON FOOTBALL

Official Columbia frowned on any

the board Of student representatives,
informed the players that he had con-
ferred with the university athletic au-
thorities. including DR.. George l.. Mev-
Ian. medical director. and Nelson Met
calf. coach Of the varsity eleven. and
their opinion had been that the danger
of injury liable TO result 70 unframed
players was 80 great as to warrant
their refusal TO allow the game 20 be
PLAYED.

THE BATTLE Of
THE TIRES

lABTlCullurdl ana commercial freB6 OcTNiCoI
1t is interesting to watch the forces
OF civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the TWEEN
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
f1ict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen.
erations than the war Of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver-
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured a few unim-
portant positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurting mil
lion "jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to re-
treat, its doom is sealed but if it wins
transportation methods of this nation.
If the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic it's next struggle is with
the railroads of the country and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth is on, for iron is the I'M
disputed master in transportation, and
is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914, but it was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. 1t took the iron tire fifty-five
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys-
seS. The roadbed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron is stubborn metal and
it has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the NORWOOD
Of defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch OF
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov-
cry.
The rubber tire first made it's ap-
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. 1t has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as utility ma
chine and it's reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
dreamland, 1t is enchanting to note
that there will be marvellous differ
ence between rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every mans door,
why city? It will traverse the con-
tinent with a net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule-
ward built by Napoleon. It will par
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?

Among the most beautiful OF hats,
the big leghorn never fails to be a
strong temptation to the buyer of mil
.linery. AS hats go, it Is considered
expensive; the initial investment re-
quired is somewhat greater than for
some other popular braids. But, like
the Panama hat, the leghorn is not
bought for a single seasons wear.
Well cared for, a good grade will do
duty for several summers.
There is every opportunity for re-
modelling and retrimming leghorns
this season. They are in great de-
mand and appear in large and small
shapes. The big leghOrn hat for
younger women has few rivals in
point of beauty and becomingness,
and just now everyone wants one.
They are woven in the natural straw
color and therefore not easily dis
colored by sunlight, and they are
among the hats that can be cleaned
successfully. One of the cleaning
methods is simply that of scrubbing
the shape, without getting it very
wet, with heavy suds and with wa
ter in which soda has been dissolved.
The shape is wiped as dry as pos
sible quickly and pressed under
clean CLOTH This yellows the straw
but the color is still beautiful.
The midsummer hats of leghorn pic
tured here suggest successful retrim-
ming to anyone who may wish to copy
them. At the left large shape is
shown with an insert of heavy lace
let in the brim. This is outlined with
a fold of velvet, and is a piece of
work which taxes the skill of the mil
liner, but gives an exquisite result.
Black velvet ribbon and half-blown
pink roses with dark green foliage
are used for trimming.
At the right leghorn is shown
having the crown covered with black
and-white striped silk and a narrow
binding of this silk about the edge OF
the brim. It is trimmed with
crushed collar and knot of white satin
ribbon and a big black quill which
sweeps across the front.
The third hat shows a brim faced
with pale pink Georgette crepe and
aaring slightly upward at the left.
There is a wreath and standing spray
of roses about the crown.

SMALL THINGS THAT COUNT
New Method of Lacino a Bodice Up.
tho Back With Velvet Cords
Hooks and Eyes.

There are so many tricks in the
trade Of clothes that one sees and tries
to remember to pass on. Sometimes
they interest women more than the
important features. There Is that new
method Of lacing up a frock in the
middle of the back. 1t is done by a
velvet cord through large round but
tOnholes that are heavily overcast. At
the end of the cord are short spikes Of
cut jet
The idea was brought out in black
taffeta afternoon gown, but it has
been copied in all kinds of materials.
It is especially effective on the bodice
that has that new turtle-tail in the
back that goes outside the skirt and
drops down for a space of five inches.
1t is a good feature for linen frocks
and one such gown in oyster white is
laced with blue velvet ribbon through
small silver spikes.
Another new trick in fashions In
fastening gown is the use of immense
hooks and eyes covered with ma.
terial in the same color as the frock,
or to contrast with it. These are used
in front or back, preferably in front.
On a gown of black silk they are
covered with white satin, and there
are white satin collar and cuffs to
carry out the color scheme. The
smart woman who wore this frock
completed the idea by oblong turban
of white satin with jet ornament and
white uppers to her black slippers.

Woman S Direct Influence
Better Than In
direct
By MAY F. KOHN, Pennsylvania
Suffrage Leader
MUCH is said from time to time
III about the indirect influence

MUCH is said from time to time
III about the indirect influence
which women are able to ex-
ert upon legislation in their present
condition of political bondage.
The phrase indirect influence"
has been used so often and so
patronizingly that it now seems to
carry subtle fattery to the sex
and to predict certain wheedling,
cajoling, overpowering insidious-
ness.
IF THE THINGS WHICH WOMEN
WANT TO EFFECT POLITICALLY
ARE DESIRABLE THOSE THINGS
SHOULD BE EFFECTED WITH
THAT DISPATCH WHICH CAN BE
ALLOWED ONLY BY DIRECT EF-
FORT.
l confess to some difficulty in un-
derstanding the mental processes by
which the anti-suffragists reason
that women are possessed of benefi-
cent political potentialities, BUT
THAT THE CONVERSION CT
THOSE POTENTIALITIES INTO
ACTUALITIES SHOULD BE
HAMPERED AND HINDERED
BY THE DENIAL OF DIRECT
POLITICAL POWER TO WO-
MEN.
