All-America Foot Ball Stars
i ' i '
.-....
By W. i. FARXSWORTH.
NEW TORK. Nov. ll.-Foot laJI ex
perte are figuring on their all-America
elevena about thia. stage of the season
and already have probably decided upon
certain pluyers. It 'is hardly fair, how
ever, for anyone to pick their men so
early, a not until ' tha very last game
has been played and won It Is a certainty
who la the very best in his respective
position. , .
Tho' writer, HUo ' hundreds cf others,
thinks he knows of a few who slresdy
are sure of being elected to tho "great
est team on paper," vbut tbe only way
to mention their names at this time of
the year is to call thorn likely candidates
Wendall, whose front names ore Percy
tangdon. looks to be as sure of muKIng
the all-America team an he waa latst year.
Here la the pivot of the irreat Harvard
eleven. Take him away from the crim
son back field and their attack-would be
weakened 80 per cent.
fiprocktlng, ltrown's captain and clever,
fast galted, Ojiitck thinking quarterback,
la- playing evn more sensational ball
than lat year. The fact that tho Provi
dence man has taken part In every guine.
while 'Howe of Yale' tested In tho early
battles. Is almost sure to earn him the
Job on WaKer Camp's "A-A" team, .
Howe In every bit as good a general
as Pprackllng, but he Is not. In ' tiie
opinion of the writer, as versatile a per
former. t In the gsme against Prnnsy
Pprei'liJhig was a demon in hla attack.
Ha did not show to the ssme advents;?
In the Harvard contest. Inasmuch as t'.ie
crimson enda kept htm well covered, lu
fact, the whole Cambridge aggregation
was on top of the great quarterback,
and on this account alone were they able
to keep blown from scoring more than
six points.
Cornell has a r:ack quarterback In But
ler, tit. Kprarkllng and Howe are tho
beet field goal kicker In th east. Hurely
butler wilt bo iu It whau the big team
is picked. Also, Potter of Harvard has
como to the front, faster than expected.
Iiud Hmllb, who. with Kllpatrlck, $e
lectod unanimously as end for lost year'a
All-Amerlcan team. Is playing th aain
sensational biand of football ai he did
last full. It waa chiefly his work that
kept Sprackliug down In th Drown
game, lie looks to be euro of cccupjtjig
another berth this year on tlio big
team,
Sam Felt.!. Hart ai d's . other crack
wing man, may also be selected, as he
bus Improved wonderfully this ytar. He
Is Harvard' most accurate liojHtsr,
Pmlth. . hewe-er. . ia by far the clas
of.th fair. The way he intercepted
forward passes attempted by Crown was
Immense.. And, believe me, the lltUe
Providence eleven is far ahead of any
other In this mod of attack.
The lirown system of. passing It lik
unto a bakata.ll catcher thiomlng to
fecond to catch a runner mealing. The
pUr who tosses the bail figure it the
receiver's duty to cover a certlu spot
her the ball la aimed for. Of course.
It takt. ad.pt lcelver to make the
piay pucceeruui. Pill In , Asbbaugli and
Adams, tho :ng . men, , Urwwn baa as
good a pair .In this line a there j
on the gridiron.

Pendleton, Princeton's
srv.it Ii
eiery bit as good thin yeur as lie mi
hut
?r and tboi . doe.u t . seem to
be a chance of keeping him out of the
running for the All-American team. He
la tha beat brok-en field runner in .the
country. If th Tigers' Interference this
year had been up to the standard, 1
am sin e that Pendleton-would have been
the biggest ground gsmer 'of -the season.
'Princeton haa a great) kicker In;-De-Witt,
a younger member of the family
of that name, and the Tlgors have often
relied on him to "bring home tho bacou."
During, the past month he haa improved
wonderfully, and today ts getting off
long, twisting spirals that are surely dif
ficult to freese to. . Do , Witt can be
classified as ;"on0 of the finds of the
season."
There are tao other r.iidts CpUln

who have been putting up a cracking

likely that, they will bo selected by some
of the gridiron expertd.' Jourdot of
Pennsy, If he were a bit heavier would
be the equal of any wing man In the
east. He la so light, however, that he
has continually Ihmu forced to luy ou

fall warrants hla again binding a berth,

to the Crimson lino this full as he was
twelve months ago. i
When the Princeton ' coaches shifted
Captain Hart from his backfletd to
tackle. It was a wise move. ITmi
SToat man behind the line, but he ha !
proved even greater In the line. He Is
a fast bard, charger and follows t?.e
ball In faultloa style. Hi ability to
get -down the field on punt baa added
strength to the Orange and Black com
bination. Hart didn't make the All
Anieikan tcjini ... back . last fall, but
be may grub a position this season as
a tackle.
At center Princeton lias a powetful man
In Illeuthenthul and be Is making a hard
fight to bo among the eleven men se

Penn State followers think that in Mil
ler they hava a quarterback every bit
as good as Wpraekllng and Howe. There
Is no getting away from the fact that
Miller Is a first-class man, but be hadn't
shown tbe same ability aa the Yale and
Brown man.
It la not unlikely that the . t rin?eton.
Tale and Harvard gamea will bring forth
other stars, for In both of these contest
it Is not unusual when some unlooked
for player bobs up and prove htmrelf the
man of tiie hour.

SAN FftANCISCO, Nov. ll.-Ad Wol
gast and Freddie Welsh are to box
twenty rounds In the Vernon arena, Los
Angeles, on Thanksgiving:-day.
Here Is an event that, looms tu re 3
letters on the pugilistic calendar.
It la a genuine championship and wilt
b marked with all the "pomp and
panoply" of such affairs. A 'coveted
title will hang7 In the balance, and the
affair will, be presided over by a real
Jive referee; who will be reedy to slap a
shoulder' or-hoist a glove-bedecked hand
aloft when the battie ts lost and won.
After the bobtail bouta of the east and
the no-account , contest of the west, a
ring event of this character. I some
thing to look forward to. What makes
ii an me more interesting -.Is that It
flavor of the International complica
tion. If Woigast win hi match It will be
i the crowning triumph of hi career. A
victory over Packy McFarland or Matt
Well at the hard and, faat lightweight
notch would not mean a much, for It
I very evident that neither of these men
could meet the champion on level weight
terms. Both Packer and Matt hav to
fight-a few pounds above the scale, and,
such being th case. Woigast would get
little credit for whipping1 either of thorn
"at '133 ringside."
Welsh can make any weight that Woi
gast can make. In the next place,
Freddie Is a combination fighter. He la
reinarkubly. clever at ttand-away work,
and he , has studied the. ftght-yourself-loce
system until he 1 well able to tako
car of himself during clinches or rough
ing rpells at close quarter. He 1 one
of the , cleanest little fellow that ever
took up fisticuffs as a mean of gaining
a livelihood end h is a conscientious
trainer. '
In addition to ail, this, he know th
fighting part of Ad Woigast thoroughly,
having watched the Michigan Wildcat
develop from a husky rfovlce to a world
champion and having "had 'em on"
with Woigast In hi cub days.
If Woigast overcomes all this, it will
prove that the present holder 1 the light
weight chaniplou through and through,
or scanning point for point, the light
weight division at the present time holds
no more formidable bidder for th title
than Kngllsh Freddie Welsh,
Some of Woigast' ardent admirer are
of tbe opinion .that he w ill hav no mor
trouble with Welsh than ha -i.i.
wen Moran. but It la not easy to deter-
mine how they arrive at the conclM.ir,
It Is generally admitted that Moran.
when he boted Woigast, waa in poor
shape, owing to leading a dissipated life.
Ho made a brave show of fitting himself
for tbe tuwgle. but the tamina waa miss
Ing, and the best proor of thls,waa that
Owen lacked the support of the betting
eontingeflt.
Men who had 'Wagered thetr money on
Moran In hia prior fights In Ban Fran
ciaco, placed their coin on Woigast last
Fourth of July. This doe not Imply
that there was anything crooked la the
affair, but rather that those who knew
Moran were well satUfled be could not
"go the route." And the result proved
that they figured correctly. 4
Asaln Moran fought right into Wol
gasta handa. He led Jut when the
champion wanted him to and he allowed
himself to be Inveigled tnto mixing mat
ter, in wiucn he was outpointed
to one.

a contest 'with Wolgat. Freddl never
acquired a last for liquor 'and a
coneequanc his physical powers are un

atyl of fighting thoroughly and. whil
sitting at th ringside during the Wol

habit of fslllng Into trap laid for hlrn
by Woisast. ,
Talking about tl.s matter later. Welsh
said:
"Woigast seems able to make all thee

close to them, all covered up, and stands

and outpunche thorn at close quarters.

that he would develop Into tho wonderful
player he has proved himself.
to slow fighting he I th one the public
should saddle with tho most blame. I
know he couldn't make ma lead until It
suited me If he stood there with bin head
wrapped In his' arm for an hour."
In view of this criticism from WolEh
it will be Interesting to watch how he
behave when Woigast walks close "with
hi head wrapped tip In his anna."
Woigast makes it his boast that h
hatm't met a man yet whom he couldn't
force to lead. Incidentally, 'Ad denies
that hla opponents lead simply because
they think tf "up to them." , Ho say
they lead because they have to that he
keep right after them and that they
lean in desperation, thlnkln to . beat
him orf.
Here wo hav a champion who thinks
Jhls method of fighting Is Irrealatable and
a cnatienger who believes that he know
said . method from A to Z and under,
stands how to cope with It.
Thia of Itself makes the prospect an
Interesting one and gives the fight fans
a basis on which to figure while watch

which it has falicn. Ecsldes his offer
of fiiO.OOO for a twenty-round contest l
tween Ad Woigast and Pacltey McFar

make a bid for Jimmy Kllbano nnd Abe
Atteil on Thanksgiving day. Kllbane
manager ha written to tho Frisco pro

will como Jo reasonable terms the match
will be made. Coffroth expects lots of
trouble befor landing the Woleast-Mc-
Farland match If he does succeed in do -
Ing so.
McFarland Is willing to meet tho chain
plon under .the -samn weight conditions
that prevailed In their proposed bout at
Milwaukee, but it hi thought Woigast will

at 1S3 pounds ringside. At Milwaukee th
weight agreed upon waa 133 pounds at ,S
o'clock, giving McFarland several hours
In which to regain some lost poundage by
eating and sleeping. - Another reason why
Coffroth Is -doubtful, of landing the ut
traction. 1 tho high opinion each man is

Every old sore is due "to the ulceration of flesh
tissues. The superficial abrasion or opening may
nave come as the result of a scratch, burn, cut, or
some other wound, but the place remains open and
of a chronic nature because the tissues ond flesh
fibres beneath the skin are in. an unhealthy condi
tion from a polluted blood supply.
Even if it were possible to subdue the ulceration
of the flesh and produce an antiseptic and cleanly
condition of the sore with medicines applied to the
external opening, such treatment could not bring
about any permanent curative results. Deep down
in the blood there is a continual cause at work to
prevent the dace from healing.
i
If we expect a permanent cure it is not the !0RE but the BLOOD
which must be cleansed. Then the morbid matter and infectious germs
will be destroyed, and the flesh, becoming healthy, will knit and join
together, and the ulcer can no . longer exist. We do not mean
to say 'one should never use any externa! treatment for an old
sore, for we realize that some' salves, lotions, etc.. are often verv
soothing to the irritated and painful flesh. But the person who

been done there is no longer left any inflammatory impurity or infec
tious matter to irritate the place, and nature causes the natural and
certain healing of the ulcer. When S. S. S. has purified the blood and
the placi is once more nourished with pure, rich blood, then every
symptom disappears, and it is not a temporary cure, but the place is
firmly and solidly healed from the bottom to the outer skin. S,SS
is recognized as the greatest of all blood purifiers, and therein lies its
ability to cure old sores. It is purely vegetable, containing no mineral
in any form, and its tine tonic effects are always helpful in overcoming
the impure systemic effects of an old sore.
We have a special treatise on Old Sores which we will be glad to
send free to all who desire it. It contains the statements of many
cured persons as to the value of S. SrS. We will also be glad to send

PHILADELPHIA, I'a., Nov. 4.-Tli4
Army-Navy game, which Is to be held
in thii city on November S5. will In mJ
probability draw ona of the largest
crowds r.f tho Kriditon season. Ae
cortflrff to reports from tbe Pennsylvania
coeimltlee, which bciy bas charge of th
tlcit.'ts and arrangements for the game,
the d-iwc.nd for tickets has been cnor
moiiA. As ia former year?, one-third of all th
snats on fcVonklin field will go to each
cf t!:e three echooia. Those allotted to
lb University of Pennsylvania will b
soil, as usual, to the following university,
bodir, viz., truKtoes, faculty, con
tt'.h.itcrs. Members of the foot bull team
ad rr.embers of tho athletic association.
Each ticket will be sold at JJ.60 and th
proceeds divided between the organisa
tion for the relief of dependent widow
of officer and enlisted men of th army
ar.d r.avy of tho United States.
While comparative fw tickets hava
been found en public sale In former years,
nevertheless; each year some of 'thou
who were fortunate enough to have
tickets allotted to them have seen fit to
abuse the privilege. Many different plans
have boon tried in past year to atop
speculation in tickets, all of which were
more or lea effective.. This year any
person unable to use the ticket allotted
may receive the face value of them from
the committee at any time prior to tha
morning cf tho game, all such ticket to
be sol at the bos offlco of Franklin
field.
Try to Protect Tickets.
The committee ia makrhg every effort ti
prevent the sale of ticket allotted to tha
university. If any ticket Is offered toe
sale at more than Us faoo VhJue the com
mittee reserve th right to purchase the
same at the advanced prlco at which it
Is offered for sate. When signing tho
application etich person to whom .tickets
are Issued agree to reimburse tho com
i.iittee for tho price thus paid la excemt
of the face vahio thereof. A record ia
kept of all tickets Issued, and each appli
cant Is responsible, for the ticket allotted'
to h'm. The name of the Institution br
wbloli each ticket Is issued I printed on
tho ticket, those allotted to the university
til coming from tha University of Penn
Eylvaiiia. Similar precaution are being
taken. by tho ' other committees, that of
tho Ncvvy of Coring to pay a sum not to
exceed J1S for each Navy ticket found on
Baf. purchased l.rI returned to its secre
tary.
The arrangement for handling the
huga crowds have always been splendid.
and nothing hua ever marred the smooth
and orderly conduct cf the games or the
comfort of those who hav witnessed
LtIiem - T1'3 year vc" tl18 usual crowding
about tho gates will bo eliminated by tho
opening of another cute at th northeast
comer and by putting long leads before
