Willard MUST BEAT ,
SOME LITTLE FELLOW
Big Kansas Cowboy Is Not Invincible
and Should Give Chance to Moran,
Dillon, Smith or Weinert.
By DAMON RUNYON.

New York, Oct. A.-We have long con-
tended that the idea SO industriously
promulgated by Jess WIZARDS loving
friends. and apparently so generally ac-
cepted by the ring followers, that no
man in the world has a chance against
the big Kansan, is wholly ridiculous.
Jess admirers began shedding the
"invincible" thought soon after he won
the championship. and they have given
utterance to II so often since then that
the public seems to have accepted Il as
an indubitable fact. forgetting that the
very same thing was said OF Jack
johnson only a short time before.
No man had a chance against the
black. II was generally declared, and We
said thn that this statement was
ridiculous, just as we say now that the
statement as to Wizards "invincibIlity"
Is ridiculous. We hold that any time
two fighters. matched under conditions
anywhere near equal. crawl through the
ropes for an on-the-level battle, the re-
suit Is no clnch until the referee has
intoned the final ten
In Wizards case his followers have
never even conceded that there is room
for argument. He was "invincible." they
yelled, pointing to his size. and his
victory over the aged black hulk. JACK
Johnson: no man could lick him. and
by the bend in the Great Horn Spoon,
no man was permitted the chance to
try.
Away went Jess with a circus. and the
''invincible'' stun has served to protect
him from demands that he show a little
more OF his ring ability. and from the
challenges Of any presumptous big men
who might be floating around in the pu-
gilistic waters.
Willard never licked a single man Of
any class before he met johnson. and
Johnson's class at Havana is a matter
OF debate. He was licked by at least one
of no class-Gunboat Smith-snd has
never retrieved that licking. Consequent
". while We are willing e. accept Willard
ut the face value OF heavyweight
champion and accord him all the honor
due the title, We cannot yet concede that
he Is "invincible." And we refuse to

Sullivan, who generally weighs
around the 16O-pound mark, must
make 1853 pounds at o'clock or less
on the day of the fight and by the
time he will enter the ring 1t will
give him a good advantage OF two or
three pounds over the Brooklyn lad.
Mccoy is down to weight and, as a
matter Of fact, this has caused him
not a serious thought He prefers to
fight at 15s ringside and as this con-
test will be at 15s pounds at 3 o'clock
II is evident there Is nothing to
worry him.
Another match that has the public
all heated up is the one between
Young Thomas. of Washington, and
Harry Glenn. of Baltimore These
two fast feather-weights will come
together for eight rounds in the semi
wind-up. 1t is the belief of the fistic
fans that Glenn will carry the fight SO
fast to Thomas that he will have 10
step at a lively gait to defeat the Bal

hard at Tommy loves gymnasium.
He is working out with Bert Green

YALE-C0LUMBIA RACE ON.
Coach Rice Assures His Crew IL Will
Beat Yale Mt New Haven.

New York. Oct. 2l.-Jim Rice set at rest
al! talk of abandoning the race which the
Columbia varsity eight is slated to row
with Yale on November u in a talk to
his oarsmen last night.
'I don't want any of you boys to feel
that were not going up to New Haven
determined to beat Yale" he said. I'VE
haven't many men. but the stuff in YOU
is all right. Well show Yale the best We
have. and il they win they'll have to row
mighty fast to beat you.
Remember that no matter what has
been said about rowing the last week we
have Yale to beat, and for one am for
getting all criticism and will do all that
can to help you win at New Haven"
Rice made no more than a passing ref
erence to the criticisms Of his system
which have been made by THE Specta-
tor" the student daily. Captain Norman
Brattan sent another letter to the paper
yesterday reafhrming the loyalty of the
crew squad to Rice. He concluded by
saving that every student who wanted to
row would get the opportunity this win
ter. This has been one of the objections
to the present system raised by THE
Spectator

OTHER GRDIRON NEWS

Gallaudets bunch OF cripples will make
their initial appearance before the local
fans at the Kendall Green field tomor-
row when Coach Kelly Of Carlisle sends
his reserves here for a battle with the
locals. As has been the case since the
existence of an Indian team. the Wash

numbers as the plays and different for
nations which are used are OF the orig
inal source and the kind which makes
the game such a great sport to watch.
In charge OF the Indian team Is Assist
ant Coach McGillis who has helped Head
Coach Kelly a great deal in getting his
team in its present condition and with
such a man to direct their play from
the lines. II will be a reminder OF old
days when Coach Warner was with the
Indians.
One thing sure and that is that Mar
shall, the star left Tanker of GaIlaudet.
will start the game and he alone may
prove the undoing of the Indians as he
has a style of breaking up plays which
has not been stopped since his first game
with the Gallaudet team.
Provided that the quarterback who
starts the game for Gallaudet uses his
head to any extent the local Institution
has a good canoe of winning but when
such judgment as has been used in the
first two games OF the season gets a
Arm foothold upon the players there is
nothing to do but watch the opponents.
