JIMMY WILDE Is
FAVORITE HERE
Western Scribes Say He Will
Be in Evidence
Later On

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Jmmy Wilde. the
British fiyweight champion. although
outpointed by Jack Sharkey. New
York bantamweight. is regarded as 4
remarkable fighter by newspaper
boxing experts who saw the Briton
first American appearance in Mil
waukee.
The little Welshman's superb
blocking, head slipping. accurate
hitting and gameness would be more
highly appraised under the English
system of scoring points, experts
agreed, than by the American ring.
side men who revel in hard hitting
and rough and smashing style!
Wilde did not box a defensive Dat
tie. On the contrary, he did his
share of leading and stood toe to toe
and slugged with his heavier oppon-
ent. But he did not pack the punch
that was expected of him. although
his right cross was dangerous until
the final bell.
Was Too Heavy
One disadvantage to the Welshmar
was his weight, and also the ten
as most of his contests have beer
over the twcnty-round route Experts
pointed out that he probably would
have made better showing had ne
lighting weight instead of building
himself up to 107 pounds, the require
ments of the Wisconsin boxing law
This law requires that there cannot
be more than ten pounds difference in
the weight of boxers except in the
heavyweight class. Sharkey scaled
116 pounds at o'clock.
There was no question about
Wilde's gameness and the fact thai
he will take a chance with a heavier
opponent suggests that some of the
American bantams, harder hitters
than Sharkey, may upset the Welsh
man in future contests in this
country.
The receipts of the match were 9
disappointment. The promoters nat
figured on s3S,000, but that dwindleC
to about $4,000. Wilde was guaran.
teed $1,000, win, lose or draw
Sharkey, boxing on percentage
basis. received about $4,000.

Tech, and would have gone back
defeated nevertheless. With u team
equal in weight to Tech they might
have kept the score down, but they
would have been beaten because
they were up against a better team.
Both on the offense and defense
Tech was superior. Comparing the
two teams we find that Tech eX-
celled in every department of the
game. Even in forward passing
attack in the second half, Tech
aerial attack was praiseworthy, but
1t was n wild attempt to score. On
the other hand, Tech did not bother
much with the forward pass, but
when she did 1t was the real thing.
Their fake end run, ending with u
forward pass, took Portland off its
feet.
Tech had an end run, starting
from what looked like a tackle play,
which baffied Portland every time.
The Portland defense rushed to
tackle and Techs backfield slipped
around end for easy jaunts to the
goal line.
Everyone who saw the game
must commend the generalship
which carried Tech through the
game. There was not a moments
hesitation. Every play was called
with a sureness which impaired the
spirit of confidence into the play
ers. All in all, it was fine, clean
game, the kind of game one enjoys
seeing"

TECH CHAMPIONS
READY FOR REST
Maroon Team to Be Busy
Plans Under Way For
Basketball

While memories of the 1919 foot
ball season will linger in the minds
of the Tech students for the re-
mainder of their lives, the season
is matter of record, and the play
ers themselves will be feted on diff
ferent occasions before the holidays
in honor of the wonderful work they
did the past season.
One thing is certain. There will
be no more games. Tech stood
ready to play all comers any times
and at any place. Tech does not
claim to be, champion. Tech IS the
champion. Football weather is at
an end. This was clearly demon
strated Saturday when a fierce wind
and snow made the contest anything
but pleasant for the spectators and
players.
Candidates For Captain
There is the usual amount of in
terest in the question of captain
for next year. Johnny" Arnold,

Emanuel and Garrett worked them
selves up from Reserves, while Hoff-
sommer and Books are playing their
first season of varsity ball. Before
football is finally laid away, cap
tain for next season will be selected
from this quintet of players. The
election will take place at the an
nual banquet.
Basketball Next
DR.. Eager and the cheer leaders
took little time yesterday morning
to speak of Techs great victory
over Portland. Everyone was pleas

that they were defeated by a better
team, and were not disgruntled
about it, Portland had nothing but
words of praise for their stay in this
city.
The basketball candidates will
soon be called out as the alumni

of this month. DOC" Miller, of

LEAGUE STARTS
WINTER SEASON
National Magnates Get To-
gether; Discuss Changes
For Next Year
By Associated Press

New York, Dec. 9.-The winter
baseball season was opened to-day
with the annual meeting of the Ma
tional League. The American Leagu-
ers will hold their annual meeting
here tomorrow and the minor
leagues will dispose of their grist
of business later in the week. The
new International League which
held it's annual convention yesterday
wound up routine affairs to-day and
the magnates and players remained
in town to watch the activities of the
big leagues.
The club owners of the National
League planned a busy session to-
day commencing with the meeting
of the board of directors. The prin-
cipal business was the settlement of
various financial matters and the
election of new board. There will
be no election of president, as
President Heydler is serving a three
year term.
To Cut Cheap Bleachers
Another question that aroused
interest was the proposal to elimi-
nate the 25-cent bleacher seats at
National League parks. 1t was re-
ported that n majority of the direc-
tors favored abolition of the cheap
seats. The air was full of rumors
of trade of players.
The meeting of the American
League tomorrow was the all abb
sorbing topic of conversation among
the baseball notables. The announce
ment that President Ban Johnson
and the five loyal club owners were
on their way here for the meeting
was accepted in some quarters as
meaning that an end of the internal
wrangle in the Junior organization
was in sight. They are due here
from Chicago late this afternoon.
The sudden decision of Johnson and
his followers to call off the annual
meeting in Chicago and recognize
the authority of the majority mem
bers of the board of directors, who
issued the call for the New York
meeting, was regarded with satisfac-
ton by American League supporters
here.

TECH HAD BEST TEAM IN
GAME WITH PORTLAND, SAYS
REA DING SPORT WRITER

An interesting spectator at Satur-
days game between Tech and Port
land, was P. II. Culp, sport editor of
the Reading Times-News and Tele-

thority on the grid game, and is
strong for scholastic sports. Here is
what he has to say about the great
BY p. III. CULP,
Sport Editor Reading News-Times
After Saturdays game between
Harrisburg Tech and Portland L
heard a number of comments on
the fine game the Portland boys put
up, and among .Harrisburgers there
seemed to be an idea that Portland
would have won the game had they
had q team as heavy as Techs
team. Tech won the game purely
on superior playing and as a close
follower of football and former
football player of four years eX-
perience, l would like to state
briefly my reasons for saying that
Tech had the better team in every
way.
Tech Played Better
Tech won the game on better
playing, with q finely-coached team
and with the kind of confidence
which cannot be beaten. Tech piled
up a total of Sc points by reason of
its heavier line, it's splendid inter-
ference and with generalship which
would have done credit to a col
lege team. Portland could have
come to Harrisburg with n team
equal in weight, man to man, to
