(flAROOilS EAGER EOR A HARVARD : FOOTBALL FRAY Students Organize an Association to Further Clash With Crimson.

University of Chicago football players and the greater part of the student body organized themselves into an allocation for the boosting of a ChicagoHarvard game yesterday when they were assured by the members of the athletic board that plans for a battle were under way. Coach Stagg's statement concerning Harvard's ocer of October 24 or 31 for a contest reached the campus and the rooters will spend the next few days in trying to convince the professors that Chicago needs the jam. . Coach Pat Page of the football team declared himself in favor of the scrap, j and every member of the 1913 football' siuad followed suit. The board mem- ( bers gave them little encouragement. however, declaring that they would have to discuss the subject pro and con before making up their minds cn ' the wisdom of the intersection fea- ! ture. "I for one want to play Harvard." said "Shorty" Des Jardien, who will lead the Maroons next season. "It is my private opinion that we would have a good chance to win the game, even if it does come in October. The team : would be on edge by that time, and I am sure every player Is aching for the chance to try himself against the eastern champion." DRAMATIST IS BOXING- BOOSTER London, Dec. . Maurice Maeterlinck, the Belgian dramatist, holds that "boxing is the supreme intellectual exercise of the muscles." . "All others are but the dead bodies of exercise," he ' added to the Dally Mail's correspondent at Nice, to whom he expressed his intense astonishment on being informed that boxing is discouraged in English schools as degrading. 'M. Maeterlinck has boxed daily for the last three years and has attained

great -skill, despite the fact he la 61 years old. "It la the discipline of violence," the dramatist continued. "It is the violence civilized by conventions which are almost courtesies." He denounced the idea of eliminating violence from the human rac, which; he called "Rousseau's old fallacious mode of thinking." "Combative insincts." ' Maeterlinck explained, "are an intergral part of human nature. The man lacking them lacks energy. Combat and struggle are of life's essences. If they are suppressed man is defenseless in his daily war with the elements and nature. If every boy were taught how to box the

I world would ere long learn to hold human life in greater sanctity." - , PACKEY OELIVERS JOLTJO BRITTON Stockyards Boy Outpoints Foe in Seven of Ten Rounds. Milwaukee, Wis., Dec. 9. In a tenround bout, featured by the absence of clean, solid hitting, Packey McFarland, the pride of Chicago's south side, won the popular verdict '- over Jack Eritton, the idol of the north aide fans of Chicago, before the Queensberry. A. C. In the Auditorium. In striking contrast to his usual exhibitions, McFarland was wild and his judgment of distance was poor at times. He hit with his open glove most of the time and Inflicted little damage on his willing and worthy opponent. Packey did not follow' up seeming advantages In his usual manner and his showing on the whole was a disappointment to the fans, some of whom left the building as early as the eighth round. Britton put up a good fight against his heavier and more clever opponent He landed several clean punches, but the blows lacked force to even stagger the south side Irishman. Jack tried hard to land wild haymakers, but Packey had little difficulty In stepping out of range. . '- For a time during the afternoon it looked as if the two battlers might not swap punches. Considerable 111 feeling cropped out when . Britton stepped . on the scales and tipped the beam at 135 pounds. McFarland also was expected -lecfric

to weigh in, but refused when ordered to do so by the boxing commission representative. The commission was simply exercising its rights in demanding that Packey weigh In, as the rules plainly state that no fighter other than in the heavyweight class must be ten pounds heavier than his opponent. McFarland's uncertain weight naturally caused the commission to act. Several arguments followed, in which Danny Morgan, manager of Britton, took part, and McFarland threatened to call oft the fight. Morgan insisted on taking Packey's weight, although the principals had been matched to box at catchweighta. The more Morgan insisted on knowing Packey's exact poundage the more stubborn McFarland acted. " Packey finally left the building in a huff and declared the

With the great lightweight championship battle between Willie Ritchie of San Fran cisco and Tommy Murphy of New Tork only one day away, the sporting pub lie of this city has come to the con elusion that the title holder will surely be returned victorious. The betting odds are 2 to 1. with thousands of dollars" worth of Ritchie money in sight, and practically none to be wagered on his sturdy little opponent. All indications point to the length ening of the price before the men en ter the ring at the Eighth street arena on Wednesday evening, Ritchie seems to have taken the town by storm, and the Murphy boosters who were much in evidence, apparently have all faded away or been converted to the Ritchie cause. That the odds are false, is the opinion of the old timers who have been following the game closely for many years. They are willing enough to admit that Murphy should be worth 10 to on the short end, but at the same time they are not throwing their money In to wager upon his chances. The wagering is still at even money that the champion stops the challenger. car Phone 620

There was plenty of action on this

layout, but once more the Ritchie mon ey came stronger than the Murphy end of it, which Indicates that they probably will yet wager that Ritchie wins within fifteen rounds. Both fighters took things easy to day after their strenuous Sunday pro gram. Murphy Is said to be well un der the 135-pound mark and Ritchie has only a few ounces of superfluous flesh to remove.

The principals in the McFarland-Britton glove fight had the following to say after the contest: Packey McFarland I knew I would beat him and I did it fairly. I do not think I was treated right by tfrcrowd. It was my own business what I weighed, as the match 4 was made at catchweights. .iV'v-. . Jack Britton packey must have weighed close to 150 pounds. If he makes any kind of weight I can stop him. He ought to be fighting Clabby and Chip. Kmil Tklry, manager of McFarland Packey only weighed 141 when he got on the scales for Mr. Llginer. I know. There are rumors that I am to be ousted from the McFarland camp after this fight. I don't anticipate any such treatment. Dan Morgan, manager of Britton P.ackey was a middleweight and Britton a lightweight. Jack held him even. I. think that's a wonderful performance. Britton will be lightweight champion if Ritchie will give him a chance. - carp pots 00t bombardier Englishman Is Stopped in First Round by King of French Fighters. London, Dec. 9. Georges Carpentier, the French boxer, "knocked out Bombardier Wells, champion of the United Kingdom, in the first round of their fight here last night. The end came Just as the initial round was ending. Wells was entirely unprepared for the tactics Of his opponent. Carpentier forced the fighting from the tap of the gong. He rushed Wells and compelled him to fight at close quarters. The Britisher was never in the fighting. Carpentier battered his body with Mow after blow, and finally put one over on Wells' nose, which sent him to the floor. He was unable to get up and the French boxer was given the decision. ' " As soon as the fight was declared in favor of Carpentier the ring was invaded by a crowd of his friends, who lifted him to their shoulders and carried him to the dressing room. The actual time of the fight was one minute and thirteen seconds. PRIEST FAVORS GLOVE BOUTS The Rev. Father Bernard Vaughan, the eminent English Jesuit, favors boxing as an cxer"se and an educative element in the training of boys. He says: "Every lad who learns boxing has a mark riot merely on his nose, but on his character. He Is self-confident, quiet and modest. The boy who learns boxing fights straight, whereas the people who write to me wait until a man's back is turned and kick him. There is too much of this kicking go ing on In England today. We want more simple, straight hitting between the eyes and not below the belt." CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING fltf. n of offer yar wast HIGIpIY PbvCIALIZED PUBLICITY.
