All Pilots on the Job.

Practically all Dixie pilots are on the
job. Lieut.. Sammy Strang Nicklin,
of the Chattanooga Lookouts, has been
on the ground for some time, being
the first of the Southern leaders to re-
port. The Chattanooga fans have
shown that their hearts are right by
rallying to Nicklin's support and con-
tributing 5000 to help the Lookouts
get started. Nicklin will have the club
three years and if he makes good he
will receive it for his efforts. Nicklin
believes he can put a winner in Chat
tanooga, and if he Is successful, his
fortune is made, for C~hautanogans want
u winner and will support any mans
team that stacks up in this category.
Several of the Lookbuts have already
reported, among the number being the
veteran Fred Graft, last seasons CAP

Boston, Mass, Nov. 21.-Youre

Voice any opinion on the Yale-Har-
ward battle here Saturday and you
will be told promptly that you can't be
right.
Yale has a repertoire of new plays;
Yale has no plays; Harvard's torn
with interior dissensions; everything
is lovely among the Crimson players.

den will not play.

Only one thing seems sure. It's
mighty cold, icicles hanging yards long
from the fountain in the commons and
piles Of surviving flakes from yester-
days snow flurries.
Coach Bob Fisher and his Crimson
squad are out at Manchester taking
the rest cure. The student body gave
the gridiron warriors a rousing send
off last night and then sailed forth
on a quest for Yale money offering as
much as to 8 that the Blue IL in for
a trimming.
Fisher announced that Desmond
would not be started and that Phinney
would fill in the vacancy at end.
YaleS cohorts are at the Belmont
Springs Country club. They are sched-
uled for a workout this afternoon at
the Crimson field, after which they will
go into seclusion until tomorrow aft
ernoon. Coach. Sharpe announced his
men as fit and said that the same line
up would start that was vanquished
last week by the Tigers. Thorne
Murphy has been declared service
able, but it is not likely that he viii
start. 1t seems probable that the
teams would play tomorrow on
frozen field. The surface was covered
last night with straw. Neither team
would suffer on q hard playing field,
however, it is thought.
Extra stands built at the fields will
accommodate $4,000 spectators and it
seems sure that a capacity house will
sit in on the big classic, as more than
1000 applications had to be turned
down by the Athletic management.

willard Confident
OF own ABILITY

NEW YORK, Feb. Cess Willard.
heavyweight champion of the world
is now making statements as to his
ability in boxing. He said last night
that he was sure he could defeat any
boxer in the world, in a bout OF any
length, under any conditions.
That is the word brought back here
by Tex Richard, the promoter, who has
eclipsed his own records in signing
Dempsey and Willard to battle for the
championship. He made the state
ment as he sat waiting for Jack
Kearn to fill an engagement that re-
suited in Kearns agreeing to sign for
Dempsey when guaranteed $4,000 and
third of the motion picture privil-
eyes.
Richard, however, added that Will
lard is quite aware that he is not going
to box Moran, and has started the
most serious training since he met and
defeated Jack Johnson, in Havana.
According to the promoter, Willard
began looking for couple OF big husk-
les to take back to Kansas to help
him get into conditions A few weeks
OF gymnasium work, Rckard said, will
be followed by two weeks at Hot
Springs and a trip to the mountains.
Then the more serious work of condi-
tioning will begin.
