DUAL MEET, MAYBE.
Yale and Harvard Willing to Meet OK
ford and Cambridge Athletes.

NEW HAVEN, Jan. 22.-An All-Amer-
lean college team to meet an Ali-English
college team is not looked on with favor
at Yale, because the followers of track
sports think that any move for the for
nation of such Il team would be fruitless.
The Yale men think the English track
men would not go into a meet with rep
resentatives from many Of the small col
leges throughout the United States. What
Yale men believe the English track men
want, and what, from private correspond
ence, appears to be almost a certainty Is a
dual meet with Yale and Harvard. The only
English universities to nave men on the
team would be Oxford and Cambridge.
Yale and Harvard both strongly favor a
meet with Oxford and Cambridge and think
they could win everything except the dis
lance runs. Yale's greatest strength would
not be tested, that of pole vaulting, where
she has the present national champion,
Walter Dray, captain Of the track team
and the former champion. A. c.. Gilbert
A pole vault is not one of the events il

Captain Walter Dray says in regard tC
a dual meet with oxford and Cambridge.

Harvard in sending a team to meet the
two great English universities. No opeI

Papke Stops Stanton.

BOSTON, Jan. 22,-Bill Papke, of Valley
Falls, H.. who claims the nliddleweight
championship Of the world, defeated Wal
ter Stanton. Of San Francisco, in four
rounds at the Armory Athletic Associa-
ton here last night. Stanton throughout
the first round landed rights and lefts on
the body and face. driving Papke from
one end of the ring to the other. The
punishment, however, did not seem to af-
feet Papke.
The second round was practically a repe-
tition of the first until near the close,
when Papke landed n hard left on STAN
tons jaw. drawing blood. In the third
round PaplSe started In to fight and soon
had stanton tired. Papke used the loop
the loop punch in clinches with good
effect.
In the fourth round both started fighting
like w~hirlwinds. In close in-fghting Papke
drove his man around the ring, and with
a heavy blow to the stomach floored Stan
ton to the count of nine. Stanton came
back and landed a dozen hard blows, but
Papke was too strong, and with a success
sion Of punches sent Stanton down again.
Stanton's seconds threw the sponge into
the ring and the bout ended.
