He's Too Old to Stand

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-while
Mickey Walker. the new welter-
weight champion. was dividing
his time between here and his
home town. Elizabeth. n. j.. re-
ceiving congratulations from every
side. Jack Britton. the deposed
champion. stayed away from his
usual haunts and was preparing
to hurry away for the Maine
woods where he proposes taking
long rest. Jack spent most of
the day at home with his wife
and kiddies. The old champion
was ready to give his conqueror
all due credit. for his victory.
Il guess / started once too
often" said Jack That man
Walker was too tough for me and
I think he is going to be a great
champion. He has my hearty
for his great per-
formance tried my best to
hold him off. but he was too
strong and il will take a good
fighter to beat that rugged boy
from Jersey.
IL admit was beaten fairly
and. as | said before. perhaps I
started once too often. Too old,
I guess. to train. That seemed to
be the trouble with me. l couldn't
get any sleep during the training
period for the match and I don't
think that ] was in the best of
shape. but that isn't anything to
Walkers discredit. He is a tough
little fellow and my hat is of to
him."
Britton will never fight again il
he heeds the advice of his wife.
She has waited at home for his
return or a message of victory on
nearly 500 nights of battle and
never was disappointed until last
evening.
Mrs. Britton regards fighting as
her husbands business and she
will not interfere. She advises.
but does not insist, that Jack give
up the game. He Is nearly 30
years old and they are comfort
ably well-to-do.
ITO see Mr.. Britton's face
marked up that way caused me a
heartache," said the former cham
pion's wife. He has been boxing
for many years and I have never
seen him marked before. In his
old fights he always came through
without a scratch and I don't want
him to be SCARED now. But he
will decide for himself whether
or not he will retire from the

TEAM
FINISHESPRACTICE
FOR HOLY CROSS
Shifts in Blue and Gray
Lineup Add Strength
To Attack.

After the most strenuous week
given the Georgetown Varsity this
season, Head Coach Exendine last
night pronounced the combination in
the best of shape for the big tussle
here tomorrow with Holy Cross. The
week has seen a number OF shifts,
especially in the line. but the coach
ing staff now believes that it has
hit on an eleven that will work with
the smoothness and precision that
the Exendine attack demands.
This afternoon the team will at
tend the Mayhem state game in
a body, returning Immediately after
ward tc school for a final skull prac-
tice.
Ray Stnters' Line Strong.
Dan O'Connor. line coach Of the
Hilltoppers. has looked over Holy
Cross in its every start this season.
and he reports that the Hilltoppers
will have to show big increase in
power if victory is to he scored
over the Purple. Last Saturday the
Vermont team which conquered the
Dartmouth the week before was un-
able to make a single first down
against Holy Cross. SO. the Worces-
ter team must possess defense
much stronger than any team met
by Georgetown so far.
Yesterdays workout following
the policy of the week, was secret.
and was conducted on the oval in
back of the University. The Varsity
field wss utilized by the University
of Florida. which stopped over in
the Capital for a day before pro-
ceedirg up to Cambridge. where
Harvard is encountered tomorrow.
The University of Alabama
team will use the Hilltop field
today in preparation for the con-
test with the University Of Penn
sylvania in Philadelphia tomor-
row.
Adams to Call signals.
Indications are that the Hill
toppers will line up tomorrow
with Florence and King, ends:
Capt. Comstock and Sullivan,
tackles: Sheehan and Thompson,
guards: Werts. center: Adams.
quarterback: Flavin and Lowe,
halfbacks, and Kenyon fullback.
1t is probable that Du Four will
be seen at quarterback for part
of the game. as his work last
Saturday was far beyond anything
he had exhibited heretofore this
season.
Holy Cross Is the traditional
rival of Georgetown so the
fiercest sort OF battle may be
expected. While the Hilltop has
never countenanced any talk of a
Jesuit or Catholic championship.
there is a degree Of rivalry be-
tween the Purple and Blue and
Gray that has persisted In all
lines of sports for many years.
Last fall after holding Harvard to
3tO-O score Holy Cross was
routed by the Hilltoppers when
they visited Worcester. and nat
urally the Purple are anxious to
wipe ou. the defeat.
