WILL MEET TOUGH NUT.
ENGLISHMAN IS VERY SKILLFUL
In Order to Win Cadillac Doy Will
Have to Knock Him Out or Have
Him In Distress at End of Twenty
Round Deut to De Held In Frisco.
Atl Wolgast , tlio champion light
weight , has ono of the most trouble
Home problems lie has yet faced be
fore him for Thanksgiving day , when
lie Is to mci't Freddie Welch , the for
mer Kngllsh lightweight champion , In
u twenty round bout In San Francisco
Whtlo not a haidi hlltcr , Welch Is re-
Kardud as ono of the best two handed
boxers In the world , lie Is lightning
fr.st with hands and feet , wonderfully
skillful , a perCeet Judge of distance and
very reel In action. 1'reddlo Is also an
artist at Infighting as well as at long
range.
Wolgnst has done all that has huen
anlied of him so far , and his friends lie-
llevo he will be successful against the
wonderful Britisher , but even Ad's
most ardent admirers are doubtful that
he will bo able to stop Wc ! < h Inside I IK *
limit of twenty rounds. They llguie
that he will not be able to corner the
foreigner to hind his clfeitlu1 blow
Others point to the three lights whi h
Welch had with Packy McFnrlnnil.
Knch one went the limit , and \Velili
was given a draw each time , although
In the last bout 1'acky was given the
credit with having a shade by the Kng-
lisli sport writers.
Wolgast In order to gain n decision
will have to either knock him out or
have him in distress at the wlndup. If
Krcddle can finish the twenty rounds
fresh he will get the decision , for he In
HO much faster than Wolgnst and such
n clever fellow that ho figures to out
point him. Uut Wolgast had a clever

one to meet In Owen Moran , and he
solved his style , beat down his guards
and stopped him.
Wolgnst has a way of covering up
and wading In to close range and from
there launching volleys of terrific
drives to body and head. None of his
opponents so far have been able to
keep him at n respectful distance , and
none has been able to get away from
these bombardments ; consequently they
have all gone down before the "wild
cat" from Michigan.
Now , while Freddie Welch Is a taller
fellow than Owen Moran and faster , It
Is doubtful If he can stave off the
rushes of Wolgast. It Is a foregone
conclusion that if the champion man
ages to get into his farorlto fighting
position , head close up against his op
ponent , the Britisher will not be able
to slug with him nor will ho be able to
survive the terrific hammering that
Wolgnst w 111 cut loose with.
Men who have boxed with the Cad
iliac boy In workouts and In real
tights say that lie lilts harder at close
quarters than any lightweight in the
history of the ring. Abe Attell , foxy
and experienced an he Is. said recently
that Wolgast would beat every light
weight who faced him In a twenty
round fight. lie's too powerful and
hits too hard. Attell says none of the
boys can resist his rushes or beep him
nt n distance.
Ho follows his man around the ring ,
taking blows aimed at him on his
gloves until he gets the fellow Just
where he wants him. Ad then makes
n little dash and lets fly as he unwinds
at close quarters Ho sends all the
jiowpr of his makeup Into every punch ,
and It docs not take many of these to
beat nn opponent Into submission.
All things considered. Welch should
give a gooil account of himself , but Ad
figures to win Inside the limit.
Canada Sends Lacrosse Team.

THORPE ALL AROUND ATHLETE
Carlisle Indian Has Made Great Name
In Many Branches of Sport.
Carlisle has a remarkable all round
athlete In James Thorpe of Oklahoma.
He is a fine basketball player , a base
ball pitcher of great talent and has
played a creditable game at halfback
on the football team. He can fill any of
the positions on these three teams , and
in addition he excels at lacrosse and
tennis.
He plays handball , hockey and In
door baseball with equal skill and fin
Ished third In the annual cross country
meet last spring. He has put the six
teen pound shot forty-three feet , broad
Jump twenty-two feet ten Inches , run
a hundred yards In 10 seconds flat and
cleared six feet In the high Jump. He
has run the high hurdles In 15 4-5 seconds
ends and the low hurdles In 20 sec
onds. In one track meet last spring
Thorpe won five events and was second
end In another.
Here's Your Champion Baseball Fan.
J. J. Lawrcs of Milwaukee Is perhaps
the champion baseball fan of the coun
try. Lawres said recently that he
started seventeen years ago to collect
his statistics on baseball , and now he
has forty-two large volumes. It takes
him three hours each day to keep his
records up to date. lie has the records
of 17,000 ball players In his books and
can answer any question on baseball
that has come up during the last sev
enteen years.

PLAYERS NOT ON BIG ELEVENS
WHO MADE 1911 HISTORY.
SPRACKLING IS BROWN'S STAR
Quarterback of Providence Boys One
of Best ir Position Miller of Pcnn
State Another Thorpe of Cirllule
One of the Greatest of Halfbasks.
Few minor league baseball players
are Known beyond their own small cir
cuits until gnibbcd up by the majors ,
wlnn. If ou'ii for a short time , they
Jump Into almost national prominence ,
in which respect they "hn\e It on" an.x
number of footballlsts , who , howevei
great they may be. seldom attract a
great deal of attention from the mass
es unless they are fortunate enough to
be on a team that manages to whip a
member of the "big four. "
There are rafts of players unknown
to the general run of football fans , but
who If given the chance probably
would make good with any of the
group from which the champion elev
ens are Invariably drawn.
There Isn't a doubt that Sprackllng ,
quarterback and captain of Brown ,
could grab any quarterback position
In the east , with two possible excep
tions , Yale , with Howe , and Penn
State , with Miller , might think n long
time before assigning Sprackling to
the position , yet at Yale the appear
ance of just such a man iw he might
result in Howe being shifted to one of
tlie halfback positions.
Miller of Penn State occupies almost
ns high rank. Unfortunately Penn
State docs not travel In such polite so
ciety ns Brown. But In the Penn
game Miller was a rnvelatlon. He not
only proved himself a master field gen
eral , but his running both from posi
tion and in carrying back punts equal
ed anything seen on Franklin field In
years.
Both are great field generals ; both
get every last ounce of power out of
their teams ; both are deadly accurate
In hurling forward passes about ;
both can kick and both are sure
death on punts , with speed and
dodging ability enough to run their
backs yards farther than the average
quarter.
It is something of n coincidence that
Brown and Penn State with two of
the greatest quarterbacks In the coun
try should also have two of the
very best ends. Ashbaugh of Brown
Is almost as greatly responsible as
Sprackllng for the success Brown has
achieved with the forward pass , and
Captiiln Very of Penn State works al
most as well with Miller. These two ,
l.ke their teammates , could grab rcgu-
I. if positions on tiny team.
Two other quarterbacks of more
than average ability Captain Fogg of
Syracuse and Welsh of Carlisle have
been playing considerable football this
jear Welsh ran something like 100
yards for a touchdown In the Penn-
Carllsle game recently and was so
successful in picking the weak spots
in the Penn defense that he was never
once forced to reveal the full strength
of his team's attack.
Fogg eained his spurs against Mich
igan a few weeks ago , his general
ship going n long way toward enabling
Syracuse to hold n better football
team to a tie score. He Is not ns
artful a runner ns Spruckllng , Miller
or Welsh on a broken field , but his Is
n sturdier line plunger , running from
his position.
Halfback Thorpe , the mainstay of
the Carlisle Indians , Is rated one of
the best halfbacks In the country.
Some critics have labeled him the
greatest of the year as tin all round
performer. J. Weelock , his running
mate , is almost as effective. If any
thing he Is n harder man to play on
an end run , but does not hit the line
as hea\ily as Thorpe and Is nothing
like so good a kicker.
A substitute halfback on the Wil
liams team , Alnslee by name , Is on
record as having made the longest
run of the year In a game against u
"big1' eleven. In the Cornell- Williams
clash he grabbed up a klckoff on his
own five yard line and ran 10. yards
to o touchdown. Only once In the
history of football has that run been
equaled at Cornell and not this year
at all on any gridiron.
Lafayette has two candidates , Tackle
Kelly and Halfback Spiegel. Compe
tent critics think highly of both. Kcl
ly , a giant of a man with nn elevation
in excess of six feet , Is not only a rare
good tackle , but one of the best punters
In the country as well.
L.tnj in the . \enr Kelly got In kicks
ranging from fifty-live to sixty-live
yards In every game. Spiegel , his
teammate , Is another Sprackllm : In
going down an open field.
Still another Is floating around who
would bo welcomed by the Harvard
coaches like a million dollars If he
were eligible to piny for the Crimson
varsity. Unfortunately this young man ,
one Brlekley , is but n freshman. Ho
recently kicked four field goals In one
game.
There are many more. West Point
and Annapolis anyhow could hardly
be classed with the "minors. " Both
Army and Navy , though outside the
classic ring , are both fairly loaded
down with high class football players
who never can hope to achieve the
fnme tliit would be theirs If they were
playing with Yale. Harvard , Princeton
or IX
'Twas Ever Thus.
"Pn , vfhat does It mean when you

SPICY SPORTING CHATS
11 y TOMMY CLAHK.
Met rorrlblu Terry" McUovern the
other day. The one time greatest of
alt featherweights In feeling the de
sire to battle welling up within him
again. Terry believes that two months
of real hard work would help him re-
dine hl.s bulky proportions and lit
him for one more trial In the ring.
The tecent appearance of Harry
Forbes and Willie Fitzgerald , who
weie stars \\hen Terry was In his
prime , has made the Brooklynlte
somewhat Jealous , and a desire to emu
late their performance Is getting the
better of ! ils Judgment. However ,
Terence has some good friends who ,
no doubt , will convince him of the
foolishness of his pioject. If not , the
hard grind of life In a training camp
\\lll probably be Milllelont to discour
age him , as It did Young Corbett.
McOo\ern Is now referee of a Brook
lyn light club where he made his Ilrst
bid for fame In the ring and Inciden
tally lost his llrst light witha , young
ster named Jack Slice , although It Is
not down In his record. The bout last-
'd two rounds. The first was all Me-
Uovcrn's. On his return to the corner
Slice's seconds told their man to hurl
some tantall/.lng remark at Terry. At
the beginning of the second round Slice
told McOo\ern that he just loved to
light monkeys , ikhat was enough. Me-
Govern cast boxing to the winds and
immediately picked Sncc up and threw
him out of the ring. Terry now
weighs 105 pounds.
Kid McCoy Is bewildered. The Kid
was practically matched to meet Sailor
Uurko In Brooklyn recently. When
the match maker of the club accosted
McCoy and asked him to sign articles
the Kid demanded S'J.r.OO. .
"Why , Kid , " said the matchmaker ,
"I only want you to fight ono night ,
not'for a week. "
That's enough to bewilder any one.
even Kid McCoy.
Since McCoy defeated several fifth
raters he thinks ho Is now In line for
a match with such huskies as .Tim
Klynn , Al Kaufman , Al Pnlzcr and Jim
Kennedy. McCoy would do well to
ponder for awhile before taking on any
of the men ho seeks to meet. Any of
the above mentioned men would jolt
the Kid so rudely that he soon would
realize he had shot his pugilistic bolt.
Lots of people say they can't see
why Choynskl. the vctqran heavy
weight fighter , should return to the
ring. The answer Is very plain. He
wants to get some of the good money
being passed to the has-beens and the
ncvor-wuzzers.
One of the latest nicknames for
President Charley Kbbets of the Brook
lyn Baseball club Is "Chuckling Choi-
ly. " It Is spoken by his friends during
his absence always.
In all fairness to Harvard It con ho
put down that this is the ruling the
ory of football criticism at the Cam
bridge school : "When the football
team wins , glory be to the coaches ;
when it loses , what n disgraceful
bu/ich of Incompetents they are. "
THERE'S ONE BORN EVERY

FEW GOOD CENTER
FOOTBALL COACHES HAVE TIME
GETTING CAPABLE PLAYERS.
BLUETHENTHAL IS ABOUT BEST
Princeton Man Played Consistently
Good All Around Game This Sea
son So Did Ketcham of Yale , Mor-
rcll of Minnesota and Others.
The scarcity of good centers has been
noticeable In the east and west this
season. In the old days there was al
ways a wealth of material for this po
sition , but this year coaches had a
hard time of it. Years ago under the
old rules the middle man on the line
was generally a place for the fattest
boy In the college , but the new code
has given that doctrine a black eye.
The center who Is fit for the part these
days must be an athletic youngster
who can run , tackle , pass the ball well ,
fit In In more ways than one and gen
erally prove his usefulness.
The center who plays good football
under the new code must combine
quickness of body with quickness of
thought. While Hie passing of the
ball still devolves upon him as It has
In the past , the new centers have
shown such remarkable ability to play
fine defensive football that they have
revolutionized , every Idea that had
been In vogue as to the duties of the
position.
Under the rule permitting the direct
pass to any player back of the line the
center must be able to shoot the ball
to any angle which Is demanded. In
addition to the dllllculty In passing ac
curately to players who are standing ,

to a player who Is In motion If the ball

is not put into play through the old
medium of second handling by the
quarterback.
It Is essential that the center pass the
ball accurately , for with the attack
strung out u little more than it was in
the old days a poor pass or a pass
which ends In a fumble Is likely to re
sult in the loss of the game. The de
fense is quick to pile through , and it
takes alertness on the part of the at
tack to hold the ball against such op
position.
In the old game the backs ran so
closely Into the quarterback that fre
quently he shoved the ball Into their
arms , thereby eliminating to eome ex
tent the possibility of fumbling. In the
more open game It is often the case
that a pass must be made some dis
tance and the ball must be sent along
without any particular twist
As a defensive player the center is
equally Important. Nowadays it Is
the fashion to play a "loose" center
That means that the center need not
necessarily play right on the line every
minute In defense and that it Is not
Incumbent upon him to stand his
ground and resist the attacking cen
ter , lie can slip to one side and get
after the man with the ball If he is
alert enough to follow It through
while It Is being passed.
In lhp < e days It Is more Important
to pay every attention fo securing re
sults thrnimh the snood of an eleven
than It Is in rely upon physical
strength without activity.
