forts are being made today to have
Carlisle cancel its Saturday game

Georgia Techs faculty has agreed
to let the eleven come north for a

tanned that Pittsburgh would be the
YellowJackets' opponent thus set
Ting the championship. Pitt, how

claring he wants to fight the French
man Carpenter has been trying for
many and many a day to fix It up
so he could come to America to fight
for the benefit Of the Red Cross, but
so far he hasn't had any more luck
than the Gar.
THE report tnat I have retired
is false" the champion said. T am
in excellent fighting condition and
ready to defend nv title. I prefer
Georges Carpenter as the most
worthy Of my rivals for the cham
pionship."
Jess has quit the circus business
for Q time. He has sold his horses
to the Government. and is taking 1t
easy while the elephants are ating
hay in winter quarters. He prob
ably will continue to take Il easy
so long as he waits for Georges Car
pentier to cross the brine to fight
him.
It looks dark end blue for Fred

the champion. There was no way
