JIMC0RBETT
WRITING NEW
BOXING RULES
Will Dedicate Them to Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Most
IIIustrious Patron.
OUTDOOR SPonrS

James J. Corbett, the former
heavyweight champion of the world,
$ just completing a new set Of
boxing rules which he intends to
name after and dedicate to the late
Theodore Roosevelt. whom he calls
the most illustrious boxing patron
the world has ever known"
Corbett's new ring laws have been
reviewed by several pugilistic
authorities of international rcputa-
ton who have pronounced them TO
be the. best ever written.
The late President and Gentle
Jim" had many discussions about
boxing and both agreed that one Of
the crying needs of the sport was
set Of well drawn. up-to date
rules. At one of their last meet
ings Mr.. Roosevelt said that he
thought that Corbett was the logical |
person to indite an acceptable box
ing code, for national and inter
national adaptation. and 1t is to
follow out this suggestion that the
former champion is writing the
Roosevelt Boxing Rules"
Speaking of his project. Corbett
says:
81 will offer my Roosevelt Box
ing Rules to the world of fistiana
with the sincere hope that they will
be of material help to the manly
art, to which l owe everything.
"These rules are, in my estima,
ton, more comprehensive. practical
and sportsmanlike for modern
usage than the original Marquis Of
Queensbury or any other rules
which have been brought out up TO
the present moment. I have used
the old ring laws. set down by the
estimable Marquis. as a foundation
for my code, for which will gladly
make full acknowledgment.
IF my rules do not prove salts
factory in every respect I feel
reasonably sure that they will at
least serve as a first class ground
work for the much needed eventual
Official International Boxing Rules
to he compiled by a more capable
authority on the subject than
myself.
IL do not care to make any de-
tailed announcement regarding my
rules just yet, as I am still revising
them. l hope to be chile to finish
and issue my code within two or
three weeks and I much prefer to
wait and allow my work to speak
for itself"

Neidlinger Needs Few
Words OF Sympathy
This Season

Considerable sympathy has
been extended to Neidlinger, Of
Yale, this year because he was
halfback and was forced to play
at quarter, where the said sym
pathizers said he was out OF
place. On Saturday he went in
against Brown, and dashed up
and down the field as no
quarterback has dashed this
season.
Each Saturday is bringing
forth new surprises. and many
more may happen on the grid

All things else considered equal
IL was this mapped out plan or
Central which was rigidly adhered
to that brought a most satisfactory
victory to the followers of the
blue and white.
For the past three years the
aftermath of the Central-Tech en-
gagement has been followed by re-
elimination. Today there is moth
ing of that sort. Central won
without question. The victory was
clean-cut, decisive and beautiful to
watch. AS high school exhibi-
ton, II ranks as the best in history.
Tech has nothing but praise for
Central's mastery exhibition and
CLEANS consolation only in the great
comeback in the final period when
the ball was worked twice the length
OF the field to allow Charley Pugh to
stick his toe in the ball for two sue
cessful field goals.
Central won because IL was a bet
ter team, more powerful on defense,
more adept in forward passing. 1t
possessed in Birthright a more con-
sistent forward passer. The eleven
as one unit went out after the breaks
in the first minutes of play, kept
after those breaks until success
marked those attempted forward
passes and gained the ascendency
never to be headed.
There was no fluke about the
forward passing of B'rthright to
Rauber, to Hall. to Childress, to
Brfnkman. Each time Birthright
heaved two linemen came from pO-
sitiOn to protect the passer. And
il was their special job to cover the
field i'm the event the pass was in
tercepted. This they did.
The figures show that Central
gained nine first downs, was PEN
allied forty-one yards, on six occa.
sions. and made eight out of eighteen
forward passes.
Tech made nine first downs, was
penalized once for twenty-five yards
when Deacon" Rhees was invited
to watch the game from the S)e-
lines for slamming Childress.
The Mt. Pleasant lads started and
finished the contest with eleven men,
not one substitution being made.
While two-yard penalties were fre.
quent, Captain Rauber took them
rather than break the combination.
Aside from the forward passing
game, there was little to choose in
the strength of the elevens, Both
lines were capable. shifty and con-
sistent. The issue was decided over
head. and at this the Central players
had considerable on the Manual
Trainers.
Central is finding satisfaction In
defeating a most worthy opponent in
brilliant manner. Tech. failing to
rise to the super-brand of football
displayed by Central. is taking its
defeat gracefully, wishing, as most
teams do, IF we could play 1t over
again."

contest since 1902. This battle is
usually the best OF the season.
Yesterdays engagement was not
only the best of this season, but the
most satisfactory high school con-
test from every angle that has
been written on the books. Both
elevens were well drilled. both ex.
ecuted plays with precision, there
was good interference, fine and
fierce tackling. clever punting, low
line play and as spectacular and
successful forward passing as has
graced scholastic football since its
inception.
