The Rivers-Cross Bout Won't Be Another McGoorty - Gibbons Affair.

It won't be another Me- Goorty-Gidbons affair, ‘When Rivers shows we will be able to get a tine on the Western idea of « @reat lightweight. In Los Angeles Rivers !s regarded an @ coming cha! pion. From all accounts he has done some splendid fighting against Wolgast, Mandot and other lightwelghts of re nown. [If not the best in the West, he a et lenst very nearly ae good as the best, Mandot of New Orleans Beat him, and cheerfully gave Rivers a return match. The second time Rivers trimmed ‘Manéot without muoh trouble. There has deen some discussion of the Rivers-Wolgast bout, tm whieh both Rivera and Wolgast went to the floor at the same time. The Feferes pulled Wotgast to his feet and held him up while he counted over Rivers, The Rivere party claimed that Wolgast had etruck the Mextcan a Blow, and aince Wolgast lost his te Ritchie on @ Gelfberate foul it doesn’t eeem un- may finished Herrera.

Howard Jones, at one time spoken of for the Job of head coach, made a spe- clal trip down to New York this week to coax Sanférd to accept the offer, which had previously been made unoMm- cially, In view of the tempting mone- tary offer and the strong presture being exerted there's but little doubt that next year will see Foster Sanford conduct- ing Yale's campaign on the gndiron, The landing of George Foster Sanford as head coach ta the best thing the New Haven authorities have done tn many @ day, If Sanford can't bring the bulldog back to the championship circle no other man can.
