Be a quick and ready A full report of this afternoon's game between the Florida and North Carolina football squads, giving the detailed play, will appear in the final edition of The Metropolis, appearing on the street not later than 6 o'clock this evening. This report will be sent over th-a special leased wire direct from the football field at Jacksonville to The Metropolis office.

The Universities of North Carolina and Florida meet here today to settle a post-season dispute of the pigskin realm. Both eleven have lost only one fame to a southern team thig sea-" son, Carolina losing to North Caro-- lina State and Florida to Tennessee. The North Carolinian! were outweighed 20 pounds to a man. Florida will enter the game with the predictions in its favor, by im linp. The com- 1.

Equipment. Any old court and ENJOYEDBY FANS Last Night's Bouts All Good, Nesser ts. Burke, Main Boat, Gees Full Ten Rounds to a Draw The fans who failed to attend the boxing program staged at the Fair building last evening undw the direction of Manager Jimmy Covington of the Miami Sporting Club certainly missed a treat of their lives. All of the bouts were featured by kayos, except the main bout went the full 10 rounds. The 10-rouhd oont between Joe 'Ther Syrian Lion," and Sailor Tommy Burke, both light heavyweights, was featured by the scientific battling of Burke.

He is by far the clgverest man that Nesser has ever been matched against. The first two rounds found Burke playing for an opening while Nesser seemed to want tn end the firht with a kayo, but the any old racket will do for some, but not for others. It is important to know the dimensions of a court, and to remember them. In the first place an earnest player may want at some scorer. A beginner does well to learn scoring before learning to play, and it will help materially to watch enough matches to become an expert scorer at the very first.

Some players never master scoring and in a match are always having to depend on a referee to know what progress is being made. Scoring should become so automatic that one unconsciously keeps track of If better players nationally. In other words, follow the big tournaments at least by reading about them. The style of game varies with the influence of Davis Cup players. During McLaughlin's supremacy as the.

Comet the furious net game was th-i great game. Now steady back court work with jst as effective but less constant work at the net, is the more usual rule. Know the style of play the championship players use, and when you find some player whose style you think is adapted to you, follow his work in all tournaments till you know all the strength and weakness of his game. Not everybody can, even in a small way, use Tilden's marvelous variety of strokes and play. If you prefer consistent back court driving learn from- the Japanese.

Kumagae, how it can be made effective. For hard, aggressive playing study William M. Johnson's style and for the sort of playing that leads the opponent to defeat himself, Wallace F. Johnson is worth watching. In any case following the best players fits1 one's own mind for better playing.

Eighteen Noted Riders are Coming; Track be in Best of Condition for Opening SV on Dec. 11 The Miami cycledrome will open with an all-star list of events on Dec. 1L Definite word was received this morning from Manager C. Turville to the effect that the track will be in racing condition by that time and that the entire contingent of riders will be on hand to start the cycle season oft with a rush. Eighteen noted riders, many of them former participants of the six day races and champions in 4 their respective classes, are coming to Miami, and the city is in store for a season of cycle and motor-paced thrills.

Among the professionals coming here are Frank Keenan, of Revere, Mass. Bobby Walthonr. Frank Depanni and Vincent Madonna, Italy's representatives, and Vincent Marki. remembered as the "Kid" of last year's six day race. The riders who are now exhibiting in Jacksonville will not arrive here in a group.

Where should he draw a line for the top of the net, so that he can practice for the right height? How long is a net from post to post so that his practice may not teach him to play for doubles when he actually intends to play singles? If one is a good player he sooner or later will become involved in planning for tennis, so it will be worth while to know how many feet of tape to buy to tape a court. Similarly it is well to know the types of rackets and their various advantages.

Strokes. Know the names of all kinds of strokes. It is inferior playing to "hit the ball across the It is good playing to drive to the back court, smash at the net, or lob an opponent away from the net, according to the sort of ball one is playing at the moment.

But evidently Ward has been fighting in saace section of the country where he fought when he pleased.

The referee stopped the fight in the last half of the first round to prevent Wood administering further punishment to Ward. The opening card between "Battling" Kid Delgado. of Havana, and Young Marty, of Brooklyn, was really a terrific slugging match from the start. Both boys had met three times before, but have always fouzbe an even break. The same tactics were used by them last evening, except in the beginning of the sixth round Delgado's second entered the ring to tighten the belt on his fighting trunks, which is absolutely against ell rules unless authorized by the referee, consequently Youn'g Marty was credited with a technical kayo.

In fairness to the visitors' it must be said that the team has been organized only a short time, and the rough spots in their play have not yet been worked out. The team, though not bent on amassing a big score, held its opponents on the defensive throughout the contest. The high school team will journey to Fort Lauderdale on next Friday to match up with the Lauderdale hoys. This is expected to be a hotly contested battle.
