A report from New York live credence to the rumor that WiUard wanta to come back. Itemember when little Jack floored the bic cowboy at Toledo and recall that Jess at once hung out the "never again" sign, i To go further into the rumor the gossips have it that Fulton ia to be Willard's opponent. Thia should get a good laugh.

In th first place only one solution can be drawn from such a match. Wlllard ia no match for Dempaey, and it ia the universal opinion of the fana tbat be never could atage a comeback. Thia solution ia left then. Dragging Jesa out of retirement for a match with Fulton would be nothing more than a crude attempt to give the big plaaterer a boost aa a logical contender for Jack. Chancea are, if such a match is planned, the "Patti" by WiUard will be executed at the instigation of would-be promoters or aome one interested in Fulton.

If Fulton and WiUard were matched and Fulton was to tumble Big Jesa, sport scribes and right fana the world over would acclaim him a contender for Dempeey'n crown. Fine, just tine, and while tbey are doing it promoters will smile and prepare to jingle the coin. Then, of course, the old stuff of making and calling off matches, hot retorts from Ilempaey and Fulton, dope on the chances of both, bids from Oshkosk and Hqueedunk. and maybe Toledo and then the public will do the usual thing, fall. After it ia over and Fulton has beeen walloped to a "fare thee well." the public will awaken, and with one accord acclaim "Stung." Tex ltickard la supposed to be the little busy body who wants to atage the comeback for Jeas.

But don't forget. Mr. Tex, once there was a battle in which Fulton and Jack took part and a rather pungent odor aroae from it. Maybe the public has not forgotten. PERCENTAGE TABLE SHOWS AGGIES LEAD CONFERENCE TEAMS Only Eleven Having Chance for Clear Southwestern Title Associated Prea Uepoi-c.

Hut such is not the viewpoint of Rice supporters. Though Texas beat Rice and Howard I'ayne by similar scores, and Rice ami Howard I'ayne both defeated Southern Methodist university by almost equal margins, the Rice eleven is play iug entirely different fonttial than that which lost to Texas. Also the 21 lo 14 score acainxt S. M. 1'.

included one fluke touchdown for the Mustangs. At any rate, the gray and blue followers do not seem to be worrying great deal. Equal confidence emanates from the Howard Payne camp. The fast showing which the team has made so consistently throughout the season is deemed sufficient to meet the assaults of Coach Phil Arbucklf's crew. The scrappy eleven from ISrownwood has given trouble to the heavier teams without fail and light Rice aggregation will place no handicap il'lllll 10 lliui iii'pni iiiirni.
