It Is probable that Teddie Mciioorty, the Oshkosh middleweight and pride of the Fox river valley, and Tony Capon, of Chicago will get together in the roped arena In Wisconsin and not In New Orleans.

Since the Cglit w-as called off at Oshkosh. where It was to have been held Thursday eight of this week, Appleton. Fond du Lac and Baclne have been bidding for the bout, but the chances are that the scrap will be pulled off In Appleton on Thursday, Iec. 17. as had been intended.

The West-side Athletic Association of New Orleans was trying to secure the match. Mc Goorty has two other bouts scheduled for this month in the North and will not go South If he can get the Capon! fight in this part of the country. Jack Morgan Is anxious to meet McGoorty and the Oshkosh has agreed to take on the Hoosier terror at 154 pounds at 3 o'clock, the battle to lie pulled off New Y'ear's Eve, either at Fond du Lac or at Dayton, O. STATEMENT BY COACH WINGARD Coach Wingard. of the Louisiana State University football team, yesterday at Baton Rouge issued an answer to tne statement published by the Tulaue him as the sore spot of Tulane-Louisiana controversy.

He declares that publication of all his correspondence with Tulane would acquit him of the charge of hiring ringers, "and thft the Tula0e manager made every effort to secure my aervices long after he received the letter which the Tulane alumni now publish for the purpose of showing that I am wholly unworthy of employment." He adds that as late as spring of 1JS Mr. Menefee. "who was then, as now, a prominent figure in Tulane athletics, told me at Lafayette that Tnlane would pay me more than I was getting at L. S. no matter what that might be, if I would cousent to coacb their team thia fall."

Sport Topics Johnny Hayes is not yet satisfied that Dorando is his master, even at the indoor Marathon game, acd announces he will chase the Italian until a return race Is arranged. Hayes contends he was not in the very best of condition for his race with Dorando.

He declares he wns given only three weeks to train, and that as a result he was attacked with cramps In the twenty-fifth mile. Just before he was ready for a finishing sprint Dorando has ignored Hayes' claims for a return match and hnj signed to meet Torn Longboat, the tanudian Indian. Longboat has not shown his best form tor some mouths and never had a look-in at the Olmypic Marathon. Arthur Shrubb. tie great English professional, is anxious for a match with Dorando or Longboat but can't be persuaded to go the Marathon distance, whb-h be characterizes as brutal and degrading.

Slirulib holds all records from 1 1-4 to 11 miles, but is not considered to have the stamina to stave off Dorando. Hayes or Longboat In a twenty-slt-mlle Marathon. None of those mentioned will meet Shrubb at his favorite distance ten miles. The Young Men's Christian Association is not going to atay out of the Southern Marathon, even tho'igh It has a Jackson Day run of its owa on the same date. Perry Koehin, physical director of the Y.
