McKINN0N AND WILLIAMS
TO MEET At DOVER, N. H.

Dover, n. H. May 1o.--The sports of
Dover are in for Il grand boxing treat
when Bill Mckinnon, the eX-amateur
champion. faces Kid Williams. the
hard hitting lad from Philadelphia, in
10-round contest at the Opera house,
May II. Both of these boys are of the
am-bang type and should put up the
fastest go seen in the Granite state in
many Il day.
McKinnon has been coming along the
line like Il Western cyclone. beating all
his opponents with decisive decisions
and his latest conquest over Sailor
Brown at the Armorv Club showed
that it takes an exceptionally good
man to beat him. McKinnon, though in
the best of physical shape at all times,
does not let day go by without put
ting in couple of hours of hard work.
Williams is considered the best lad
of his weight around the Quaker City
and all his contests have been of the
rushing sort, which keeps the specta-
tors on the jump from gong to gong.
This bout ought to see some one of the
boys declared a winner before the end
of the contest. as to win means much
to each. An elght-rOund bout will pre-
cede the main affair, between Young
Cote and Lefty Cohen, the Ghetto
champion.

defeated Dartmouth, IS to 40 points, in
the annual dual track and field meet at

contest closer than the score shows.
and one in which Harvard was forced
to SHOW everything it had to win.
Dartmouth developed a much strong
er team than was expected fy the
Crimson, and at the start of the games
turned off unexpected victories that
made the Crimson dope book worthless
as valuable guide. while at no time
did Dartmouth look like winner to
the experts. who knew that Harvard's
field event athletes would turn the tide
and make the team winner.
Dartmouth furnished the surprises Of
the meet and had the better of the in
dividuas, but lost to the better bal
anced Crimson team. Harvard won
seven Grsts to Dartmouths six, eight
seconds to the Green's five, and nine
thirds, while Dartmouth could get but
four.
