It is diffi- cult for northwestern fight followers to imagine such a state of affairs. ‘While they do not believe that there is a man in the world today who can beat Mike Gibbons decisively, still, if there is such a man, they want to see him. Like the Missourians, they want to be “shown.”” When Me- Ketrick signed articles for this fight he asked President Dow of the Can- ital City Athletic club if he is a friend of Mike Gibbons. Upon receiving an affirmative reply McKetrick said: “What are you trying to do? away the best friend you've got? This fellow Ahearn will whip Gibbons sure as you are alive.” So confide is this McKetrick person of victory over Gibbons Dec. 10, that he has shouted from the housetops in New York the fact that Ahearn will not only whip Gibbons in his own town, but that the European battler will knock Gibbons out. Should Mike | Gibbons win this battle this man Mc- Ketrick will have to hunt a hole and hibernate the rest of the winter, for he will have absolutely no alibi when he returns to New York.

Daly Ordercd to Honolutu for Three Years—His Teams Always Beat Navy. West Point, Dec. 1.—Lieut Charles | Daly, U. S. A, left here yesterday for San Francisco, port he will on a government transport on December 5 for Honolulu. Lieut. Daly is attached to the First from which sail station with his battery at Schofield Rarracks, Honolulu. He is through with football for three years. This | means that Dady will not coach the Army eleven again for some | Neither will he coach Harvard, as has lbeen rumored recently, for his tour | of duty in the Sandwich Islands is | due to last for two years at least: Lieut Daly was captain of the Har- vard eleven in 1900. He entered the Military Academy in 1901, being | graduated in 1905. During his first iwo years as a cadet he played quar- terback on the Army team. Both these years the Army defeated the Navy. In his plebe year, 1901, Daly won from the Navy, as did Oliphant last week, by scoring all the points for the cadets. The result of that game was 11 to 5 in favor of the Army. The | next year the Army won again, with Daly a big factor in the 22 to 8 vic- i tory. | In 1903 and 1904 Daly, while still a cadet, acted as one of the coaches of the ATmy eleven, and the cadets won both those years from the Army team in 1913, 1914 and during the geason just closed, all three of which years saw Army victories. While con- nected with Army football as player cor head coach Daly never saw an Army defeat in the annual service gridiron battle. BENDER SUES FEDS. Famous Indian Star's Action Against New League to Get $8,666 for 1916. New York, Dec. l.—Charles A. Bender, the Indian pitcher who was dropped from the Baltimore Federals last August because, as the president of the club declared, he did not keep himself in ‘“good condition,” brought a breach of contract suit for $8,666 in the United States District court yesterday against the Federal leaguec. The suit was filed through the law firm of Wilber, Norman & Kahn of 299 Broadway. An attempt also was made yesterday to serve a summons on J. A. Gilmore, president of the Federal league, at’his office at 1,476 Broadway, but he was out. Bender is a Chippewa Indian and a graduate of Carlisle. For twelve vears he was one of Connie Mack’s mainstays on the Philadelphia Amer- icans. Mack asked for walvers on Bender after the baseball season of 1914 and, receiving no bids for the Indian twirler from the major clubs, dropped him. Mack never could be induced to clear up the mystery re- garding the Indian’s release. On December 4, 1914 Bender sign- ed a two year contract with the Fed- eral league under which he was to get $7,600 a year. He pitched for the Baltimore Federals until August 30 last, when he rcceived the follow- ing notification from C. W. Rasin, president of the Federal Baseball I ClUD of Baltimore: Resgi- | jment of Field Artillery and will take | time. | PORT Y Feeling that the football season was 'game? entirely too short, as interest was t greater this fall than ever before, we decided to put on one more big battle | before the curtain blew for the last time or the whistle was rung down. With this end in fairly plain view we got Hurry-up Yost, coach Michigan and a former Yale Captain, all-Yale eleven to meet at Madison kis last $30,000,000. The Line-up. The two elevens lined up as follows, the selections being absolutely au- thentic: Michigan Schulze | Yale Corbin Heffelfinger | dicated ? Glass | Kinney | Bloomer | campaign? Shevlin | Rockwell | Philbin Left Halfback T. Hammond Fullback (Note—It is needless to shy that only those stil] living were picked for this game, played immediatety after ihe one promoted by old Doc Lardner, | the celebrated Ringer.) The Battle. Michigan won the toss, and prompt- ly at 2 p. m. Coy kicked off to Hes- ton. The burly back came smashing cnward ten yards before he awas fiercely tackled by Shevlin and Kil- patrick together. On the first play Weeks sent Hes- | ten around Yale's right end, where | there was no one in the way except | Shevlin, No gain. On the next play | Craig whirled out around left end, | where there wasn’t a soul left except Kilpatrick. No gain. Hammond then punted to Rock- well, who was thrown heavily by Red- cen, Benbrook and Schulz, Play by Play. On the first play Rockwell sent Coy hurtling through center. The only thing that stopped Coy was 246 | pounds of Germany Schulz. When | the two collided the spectators thought a mine had been exploded at midfield. Ag it was, the game had to be stopped until a portion of the field ‘was replaced. : Philbin tried to slip outside of tackle, but there wasn't any outside. Curtis (242 pounds) lifted him up and was trying to pick his teeth with the | Yale star, when the officials inter- vened and penalized Michigan ten vards for unnecessary impoliteness. On the next play Heffelfinger and Schulz became involved in a personal argument, and it took the summer camp from Plattsburg and 400 cops thirty-two minutes to quell the stir- | ring debate. 2 _ The Finish, At the end of the game the ball was «t midfield. The score was as fol- lows: Michigan, 0; Yale, 0. Ground | gained by rushing—by Yale, 1 1-2 vards; by Michigan, 5 feet. 1 Against Harvard. If these two elevens can be gotten together again to decide the draw, the winner will be matched against an | All-Harvard eleven. This eleven | kasn’t been quite picked to date, but most of them have. Nourse will play center, Pennock right guard and Ham Fish right tackle. The ends will be Campbell and Hardwick. Daly will | play quarter, with Dibblee and Brick- | ley for the two halves, and Mahan will play fullback. This game will be | played for the benefit of those who | bought Bethlehem Steel between 40 | and 50. ‘ | | Rubaiyat of the Gridiron.
