Kilrain laughed heartily at the joke and sent Corbett a telegram offering a contest here or two thousand winner, five hundred loser. Corbett -accepted and came on.

It was then that Corbett met Mike Donovan cf the New York Athletic Club. who has trained him for tonight's contest.

John L. was touring the country in the 'Honest Hearts and Willing He reached San Francisco and was invited to spar a few rounds at a benefit given for Corbett.

Sullivan accepted the offer of half the proceeds but specified that they spar in evening clothes instead of ring togs. They tapped through four bloodless rounds.

Shot Into the game after the first string had missed fire on two scoring chances inside the 12-yard stripe, the reserves had a touchdown within three minutes and quickly added the field goal. Kenneth Goodson, "goat" of the Methodist eleven in several games, fired passes and jolted the tackles for most of the gains in a 65-yard drive to a touchdown. Stapp, bulky reserve halfback, started it with a 22-yatd reverse over left tackle. Goodson found Carroll on a 13-yard pass- and then ran the ball three times to the six. He circled end on fourth down for the touchdown.

Johnny Stidger hurried into the game and kicked a field goal from placement on the Rice 22-yard marker. The defeat dropped Rice into a last place tie with the University of Texas in the final Southwest Conference standings and shoved the Methodists. undefeated 1935 league champions, into fifth place.

Some 7,000 spectators watched the struggle. Florida threatened seriously only In the third period when Mayberry broke through the middle of the MiNsissippi State team for a 24-yard gain and started a drive that carried to the Maroon 19. Ward stopped the march by snagging a Florida pass on his own one-yard line. Line Takes Command The Staters line took command of the situat'on after Ed Manning returned Pickle's punt to the Maroon 24 and smothered every Florida trial.

Late in the second period the smooth Mississippi State offensive started clicking off gain after gainl but the whistle blew with the ball on the Florida 15. The victory gave Mississippi State fifth place in the Southeastern Conference and a record of seven wins, two lossesadministered by Alabama and Louisiana Stateand a tie with Texas Christian. i Florida finished its first season under Coach Josh Cody with four victories and six losses. The statistics gave the Maroons all the edge. They compiled 10 first downs to five for Florida, gained 131 yards rushing to 66 and took to the air for another 113 yards.

Florida made only 11 yards through the airways. Hard charging Mississippi State forwards effectively broke up the dangerous Florida passing attack rushing the heavers off their feet. Lineups and summary: Mimi. State (7)Gelatita. left end; Lott, left tackle; Weed, left guard: Price, center; Moak.

La. In about half or three quarters of an hour the championship bout between the champion. John L. Sullivan and the challenger, James J. Corbett, will be under way.

"John L. Sullivan, familiarly known as the Boston strong boy, has held the championship for 10 years. His huge stature, tremendous strength. ring ferocity, many victories and eccentric conduct have all combined to capture and hold the pubnc imagination. "Sullivan won the championship from Paddy Ryan in 1882.

Since then he has had 10 years of vigorous activity in defense of his laurels. "Sullivan's most famous battle in defense of his crown was three years ago when he defeated lake Kilrain. Sullivan and Kilrain were scheduled to battle in New Orleans but the authorities, becoming panic-stricken at the publicity they were receiving, called the affair off. The day following the scheduled contest. a train pulled out of New -Orleans bearing participants and spectators to a secluded spot across the state line of Mississippi.

The contest was held under London rules with bare knuckles and the ring pitched on the turf. After 75 rounds under the blistering sun of a cloudless Southern Summer day. Sullivan was awarded the victory on points. "An Interesting fact about this fight, known perhaps to few people, was Kilrain's offer to with. draw.

He sent his chief second, Charlie Mitchell to Sullivan's corner at the end of the seventy-fifth round to ask Sullivan if he would present Kiirain with 12000 If he agreed to withdraw. Sullivan accepted the offer, but In the meantime the referee had decided to atop the contest and award the decision to Sullivan. So Kiirain lost his $2,000. "Another of Sullivan's battles second only to the Kilrain bout, was his 39-round draw with Charlie Mitchell. the English champion.

The contest was waged in France in 1888. Rain stopped it in the thirty-ninth round and it was declared a draw. 'Tor the past 10 years John L. has been very jealous of any one who looked as if he might some day take away his most precious of possessions, the heavyweight championship crown, He would always discourage rivals in every possible way and those who would not be discouraged, were held as avowed enemies. "So much for the champion.

Let us talk about the challenger. James J. Corbett, a former bank teller and boxing instructor from San Fran' cisco is the man who has the courage to exchange blows tonight with John L. "From creditable sources, we gathered this information. Corbett's first professional experience was in '87 when he made an excellent showing in a ten-round draw with Jack Burke of Australia.

Two years later he had an exciting little affair with Joe Choinyski ski) at San Francisco. We are told it developed into the climax -of a feud between two sections of the sporting element of that iy. The affair was billed as ChoiLyski vs. Corbett, California Club Olympic, professional sport vs. amateur.

Jew -vs. Gentile. Labor vs. Capital and Golden Gate Avenue vs. Hayes Street.

After starting the contest a number of times. it was finally concluded on a barge anchored in San Francisco Bay and Corbett was returned the winner. "Corbett's last battle of importance was the one last year with Peter Jackson. the colored champion of Australia. It ran for el rounds when the referee called it off and no contest After the thirtieth round both men stopped boxing and did nothing but circle around the Corbett claimed that Jackson.

being the champion of his country. should have set l'te pace. Jackson refused to do this and the affair ended a farce. "Corbett has been doing considerable theatrical work this past year. After his fracas with Jackson, he started out of Call eiciernalle tniietrical work tilts i past year.
