"Johnny" Kilbane will be In our midst
tonight, as the popular world's feather
weight champion Is to battle "Willie"
Houck at the Olympic Athtetlo Associa
tion. Fight followers are of the opinion
that a good fight Is to be witnessed, and
so are we. ICllbane must be conceded to
be the cleverer of the two, but Houck
Is so rugged and such a borlng-ln fighter
that even an expert like Kllbano Is liable
to find plenty of work. The appearanco
of Kllbano hero Is sure to result In great
good for the sport. Johnny Is well liked
here and his appearanco will certainly
Mglve Impetus to the pastime. Evory tlmo
a man steps between tho ropes to meet
a fighter Ilko "Willie" Houck he takes
long chances, and Kllbano, knowing this,
will be forced to toko care of his end of
the contest. That's one reason why wo
expect to see one of the best fights of
the present winter hero tonight
it: :::
It Is remarkablo what one good fight
will do for a boxer. "Young" Shugrue,
who has been struggling along to get
matches among the lightweights, was
pitted against "Freddy" Welsh, tho
world's lightweight chamgplon, recently
and many thought Shugrue was to be the
"goat." However, one of the biggest sur
prises of the fistic year was sprung when
the Jersey City lightweight (yes, he halls
from Jersey) whipped the champion at his
own came. Welsh, who was In pretty
good shapo, figured that he so far out
classed his opponent that he could play
like the cat with a mouse. Welsh, who
must be given great credit for his box
ing, forgot that he could be clever and
win by a shade, but propared to tear Into
Shugrue Just "what the latter wanted. Of
course, the result was early evidenced In
the fight. Once Welsh started such tac
tics he was done. Shugrue secured the
lead and held It to the end, proving that
even champions can overrate their skill
and strength. It Is a dollar to dough
nuts, and generally believed. If Welsh
had fought his usual careful fight the
result would have been different. Now
the public will pay tho freight, for the
American boy must surely again be
matched; to fight the English wonder, and
It costs money to see such men In ac
tion. Maybe "Johnny" Kilbane will enlighten
us by telling the fans who won the fight
recently between himself and "Joo" Man
dot. In the reports received here there
was a diversity of opinions. "Kllbano
Won," "Ktlbano Didn't Win." "Kilbane
Almost Won" were some of tho sample
decisions.

INDOOR TRACK AT C. H. S.
Dr. O'Brien Starts Early Trnotlce
"With Crimson and Gold Candidates.
Dr. Mnthew X O'Brien, physical In
structor of Central High School and
reputed to be one of the best schoolboy
athletlo trainers In the country, has a
mighty hard proposition on his hands
relative to developing: a winning; Indoor
track team for the Crimson and Gold this
year. But few veterans from last sea
son's fast combination are in school at
the present tlmo.
Although the Indoor track season will
not start until after the first of the year,
Doctor O'Brien has announced a call for
track candidates. More than 40 young
sters have reported and the Central High
tutor has commenced diligent practice
with the men.
The stars who were lost last year by
graduation included Captain Bertolet,
McCombe. Cubbage and Brookes. The
quartet of mentioned athletes ore display
ing fine athletic ability with different
colleges. McCombe, Bertolet and Brookes
reoelved their freshman cross-country let
ters at the University of Pennsylvania.
B. P. Smith, who was a crack one-mller
last year, will captain the Crimson and
Cold track team this season. Other boys
who give promise to make the team are
Hampton, Robertson, Hannum and
Brackus. The latter Is the colored ath
lete who established a good reputation
for himself at West Philadelphia High.
He la a fast sprinter and a corking; good
hurdler.
Southern's tflvo Sleets Camden
Although the Southern High five went
down to defeat at the hands of the Penn
Fresh team, the Scholestla League cham
pions were not disgraced. Captain Wetn
stein's boys succeeded In holding the
Bed and Blue first-year men to a score
which differed by three points. Weln
stein tallied all of the points for the
downtown aggregation, scored 13 foul
goals and one field coal.
Southern's next big- game Is scheduled
for Friday afternoon. The team will
cross the Delaware and encounter the
Camden High School five on tha Pennsyl
vania Railroad T. M. C, A. floor. Camden
High Is represented by a fast team, and
the local team will have no easy matter
In annexing a victory.

IT ON YOUR PIANO"
TEAM WORK PUTS DE NERI
ON TOP IN BASKETBALL
Other Teams in Eastern League Have Individual Stars, But
Musical Fund Hall Boys Show Them Up By
Brilliant Playing Together. ,
The value of team work In basketball.
as opposed to Individual stars, has boen
thoroughly demonstrated this season In
the Eastern League. Dy virtue of their
ability to play together, not occasionally,
but In every contest, has placed the De
Nerl five at the top of the league, and
unless some accident happens In the
ranks of the Musical Fund Hall boys,
they will sail away with tho ponnant this
season as easily as the Braves took the
world's series from the Athletics.
The Individual members of tho De Nerl
quintet are clever players; no one can
gainsay that. But without team work
their efforts would be fruitless. For ex
ample, man for man, the De Nerl men
ore little. If any better, than the Trenton
group. On the lntter team are Hough,
Kane and fJelg, three men who are the
equal of any basketball players In the
country. Tet Trenton Is now vying with
CJreystock for last place. It Is their
failure to play together that has caused
tho Potters to drop eight out of their
dozen contests this year, while the re
verse procedure has given De Nerl nine
victories against three defeats.
Not one of the last five games played
by De Nert resulted In defeat They have
been going at a whirlwind rate and have
literally had their opponents up In the
air trying to stop passes which are never
made, or running after the ball only to
havo It cleverly bounded under them
or past them. Klnkade, Dark, Keuman,
Fogorty and Keenan have become so ao
customed to playing together that they
seem to feel each other's purpose. Their
passing Is so deftly done that they sel
dom get possession of the ball without
finally working It up to a point where an
easy goal can be made.
In Its game with Trenton on Saturday
night De Nerl proved Its pronounced su
periority, winning St to 3. The great
passing ability of the Do Nerl team is
shown In the assist column, whore they
are credited with 11 for the 'one game, a
record for this season In the Eastern
League.
Joo Fogorty, who Is one of the main
stays of the De Nerl team, has been en
gaged by tho Athletlo Committee direc
tors of Lafayette College to coaoh the
basketball team. Fogarty will devote
much of his time to the collegians and

mentioned somo time ago as a possibility
for the position of basketball coach. How
ever, Crowell has a number of other du
ties this winter and was unable to take
tho place. He will be In Boston, how
ever, early In the spring to begin work on
the diamond. Fogarty will have two
young local players on his start of can
didates for the basketball team. They
aro 8wart2. formerly a cageman of the
West Philadelphia High School, and Toy
lor, of Camden High. Both of these play
era havo a good chance to land regular
berths on the basketball team.
The Fenn basketball team did not get
a good start Saturday night Their team
work was poor, and It was with little
difficulty that Muhlenberg; won at
Welghtman Hall by the score of $0 to XI.
Coach Jourdet has, however, on his squad
a number of able players, and before
selects the team which will play througn

able to hold up their end with the best
