BILE absentee, regarded as a probable
supplementary nomination before

The list of eligibles has narrowed
from an original total of 322 NOM
nations and probably only dozen
actually will 60 to the post in the

0'TooIe, Mat Oddly
Me Won't Clown,
Battles Londos
Winner Of Tourney
Here Roted Tough
For Champ Jim

Tommy O'Toole, a strapping 225-
pound son of Ireland. will tangle
with Jim Londos for the Washing
world championship
in the feature rassling match at
Turner's Arena Thursday.
Tommy, strictly scientific. de-
termined grappler who doesn't be-
lieve in clowning, made his one and
only appearance last week at the
arena, sweeping through a field of
13 to win the one might elimination
tournament and a chance at the
Golden Greek. O'Toole downed
Karl Davis in the final after TAX
ing Jim Wright and Dutch Schultz.
On the strength of his showing
last week the Irishman figures to be
one of the toughest opponents to
face Londos in his current swing
around the circuit. Several weeks
ago Londos defended the title"
against Man Mountain Dean here,
winning with ease and the GUS
tomary airplane spin. 1t will be
recalled that about four years ago
when Londos lost the championship
in Boston it was an Irishman, Dan
no O'Mahoney, who did the trick
Londos went on a world tour
through Europe), and came back
claiming the international cham
pionship. His world title mean
while had been split in several Sec
tions, with Bronko Nagurski hav-
ing the greatest part. So a month
or so ago in Philadelphia the Greek
caught up with Nagurski and re-
gained the crown.
OToole is new in the East. but
is we'll known on the West Coast
where he has been headlining and
drawing fair gates. He is 26s years
old, and perhaps the best looking
Irish rassler to appear locally. He
isn't popular enough yet to make a
champion, but a few more public
showings and seasonings before the
ringsiders will put him in real
contender's position.

Battle as De Paul
Gives Up Sport

De Paul University's retirement
from intercollegiate football is be-
lieved to be based upon nothing but
economic considerations. This past
season. the Demons did not draw
even students to their home games in
Chicago.
There were fewer than a thou
sand spectators at the annual home
coming game against Catholic Uni
versity in Chicago this year.
In way, this was a corollary Of a
very unsuccessful season. but last
year, with a team losing but one
game and tying Illinois. gate re-
ceipts were insufficient to pay for
the upkeep of the squad.
Three games already arranged for
1899. viz, Catholic University, Cen

sailing fleet.
The news is of particular interest
to Chesapeake Bay yachtmen, in
asmuch as the boats, specified as
"A feet over all, will add new blood
to the cruising division competing
under the Gibson Island rule. Bids
have gone out to prominent firms
of yacht architects and builders,
with the idea that they'll be ready
for delivery early in the spring.
Not just another of your half
raters, the designs call for a boat
with smart sailing qualities and
rugged in the latest manner. They
will be 80 feet on the waterline and
of lotion displacement. Jib-headed
in rig, the sail area should be
around 975 square feet. There will
be accommodations for seven and
light Diesel engine for auxiliary
power.
In addition, the academy
will acquire IA ketch-rigged
whaleb0ats 80 feet in length
and 10 new 14-fOot inter-
national class dinghies.
All of this equipment is intended
to be worked into a program of
drills, sports and recreation which
will reach every one of the 2,300
middies. After many years of seek
ing for perfection in technical edu-
cation, 1t would seem the Naval
Academy is returning to the realiza-
ton that an officer still must be a
seaman and know the feel Of q
smart racing craft under sail.
Two New Regattas.
Looking over the 1899 regatta
schedule formulated recently at the
annual session of the Chesapeake
Bay Yacht Racing Association, we
notice the old favorites with their
accustomed dates and two new
regattas billed as first annual"
One is the open races of the newly
formed Potapskut Sailing Associa-
ton near Baltimore on June "a and
Is. Oddly enough, this other first
annual comes from club you
scarcely could call new. 1t Is the
Gibson Island Yacht Squadron and
the regatta is exclusively for small
boats. This significant, mas
much as Gibson Island long has
been the bailiwick for 6 and 8
meters and large cruising yachts.
Scheduled for July % and %, races
will be devoted to stars, comets,
Hampton one-designs, snipes and
moths.

For Swap of Insults
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17.-Just
when it looked as If the rival gen.
tlemen of the press of North Caro-
lima and California had exhausted
their supply Of insults, along came
fresh ammunition today to enable
them to resume their cross country
bombardment over the merits and
demerits of the Duke and Southern
California football teams.
Representing the collaborative
literary efforts Of Prof. Alfred x.
Wesson of U. S. C.. and Ted Mann
of Duke, it not only gives complete
history of the Rose Bowl battles
at Pasadena, but-and here's where
the ammunition comes in-the per-
formances, statistical and otherwise,
Of the Dukes and the Trojans.
Duke Outruns Trojans.
One finds, for instance, that U.
S. c. accumulated a net gain from
running OF 1,347 yards to $40 for
it's 10 opponents in 1898. while Duke
in nine games gained 1,746 yards to
opponents 557.
Southern Cal passed 1t way 844
yards and yielded 597 yards to op-
ponents' passes. Duke, which Is
hardly a passing team. travelled 346
yards to opponetns' ATT. Southern
California made 81 flrst downs,
Duke, 40.
S. c. scored 1855 points to 81 in
winning eight and losing two, Duke
scored ia points and opponents
none in building its unequaled sea-
sons record.
Adds Up to Big Battle.
The Dukes defeated. in order. Vir-
ginia Poly, Davidson, Colgate, Geor-
gia Tech, Wake Forest. North Caro-
lima, Syracuse, North Carolina
State and Pitt.
Troy defeated Oregon State, Ohio
State. Washington State, Stanford.
Oregon, California, U. C. l.. A., and
Notre Dame, stld lost to Alabama
and Washington.
All of which-games, statistics,
scores and insults exchanged be-
tween the North Carolinians and
the CalifOrnians-add up to nothing
except that the coming clash should
be most terrific and that 10000 spec
tators will jam into Pasadenas
