COULON BESTS
YOUNG O'LEARY in FIGHT,

NEW YORK. Nov. s.-Before a
crowd, that filed every available inch
Of room in the Roman A. c.. last night,
Johnny Coulon, of Chicago, claimant of
the bantamweight championship of
America, had the better of the six
round fight with Young O'Leary. OF the
East Side. O'Leary, however. gave the
Windy City bantam one of the hardest
fights of his career, and but for Cou-
lan's rally TOWARD the end Of the bout,
the New Yorker would have earned a
decision.
OLeary was not only clever but had
a good punch. In the second round he
caught Coulon with a right to the.j jaw
that sent him to the boards, but the
little Westerner bounced up like q ball
and tore in at the East Slider like a
little bulldog. Johnny came strong in
the last two rounds, and his hard fight
Ing then saved him. O'Leary had
trouble making the weight, and his adj
mirers say that IL he had not been
weakened by his hard struggle in re-
ducing to 105 pounds he would have
bested the Chicagoan.

PRINCETON SEES
STAR DROP KICKER
IN CUNNINGHAM
He Puts Ball Over Bar Fourteen
Out of Fifteen Times in
Practise.

PRINCETON, Nov. 3.--The Princeton
team came through Saturdays game
in good condition except for minor
bruises. But Coach Roper gave the
men easy work yesterday afternoon be-
fore beginning the hard drill, which is
the plan for this week. Though the
showing against West Point was fairly
weaknesses to be remedied. This was
particularly true In the case Of the at
tack, which will be the main problem
for the coaches from now or.
Most Of the practise yesterday was
secret. A short scrimmage was held,
with the varsity pitted against the
scrubs. Captain Dillon was on the field,
but he and the other regulars were sent
In early. Cunningham was given fifteen
chances for drop kicks from near the
thirty-fve-yard line, and put fourteen
of them over. One of the coaches de-
clared last night that Cunningham's
kicking ability practically insured him
d place on the team. The open practise
was between the varsity scrubs and
freshmen and was a snappy exhibition
of football. The freshmen were given
the ball, and, after a number of plays,
carried the ball over for a touchdown.
They also kicked a field goal. Bredemus
was coached carefully 1t end, and
showed some improvement over Satur-
days playing.
The undergraduates are aroused by
the report that Bill Edwards's famous
$50 team is expected here Wednesday to
don l~ong-unused football togs and line
up against the varsity. Som of that
eleven ave been here coaching, and are
in condition for a game. With the
weight and fighting spirit which in '9s
n SO won championships they ought
to make It an interesting contest.

About the only stars on the Prince
ton team are Dillon, Tibbott and Sieg-
ling. The latter, for q reason uneX-
planned, has never received the recog-
milton that was due him. There are
many who hold that Siegling's work
last season should have entitled him
to a berth as tackle on the All-Ameri-
can team.
The loss of Mccormick and Harlan
cut an awful gap in the Tigers back
field. The former was considered the
most powerful man in the collegiate
ranks last season for bucking the line,
while Harlan had few superiors, if any,
In kicking.
It was McCormick's work that was
chiefly responsible for Princeton's vic
tory over Carlisle last year. (The state
ment that the ndian were undefeated
in 1907 was a tumble, due to a slippery
penn.
This aggressive fullback was sorely
missed in the West Point game, and
his absence will probably be felt ven
more when Princeton hurls her forces
against Yale.
The game this yea will be fought out
on Princeton soil. That fact does not
improve the Tigers chances. The Or
ange and Black has not scored against
Yale at Princeton In many years. Two
years ago they played a no-score game
against the Blue on that field.
It Is an oft-discussed fact that most
of the few victories Princeton has
scored against Yale have been due to
the work of one individual star. There
Is no Poe or De Witt on the Tiger
eleven this season.
Yet Princeton Is never defeated until
the whistle blows. and though the signs
point In Yale's favor. the sons of Mas
sau Will enter the supreme struggle Of
the season with that u~pshakable con-
fidence that goes with Princeton spirit.
Only one class has o n through
Princeton without seeing at least one
victory over Yale in the four-year term.
Old Nassau will not permit history to
repeat hat sad event, IL pluck and a
do-or-die spirit al prevent II.

LONDON. Nov. 3.-Aside from pick

California fighter, annexed another
good sized purse last night by winning
from Johnny Summers. the English
lightweight, at Wonderland!
The bout went the scheduled ten
rounds, but the California lad displayed
the more aggressiveness and was in ex-
cellent condition at the finish. Sum
mers put up a fashy fight at times AMI

Summers had the better of the first
two rounds and Britt, seeming to real
lie his disadvantage, put more energy
into his work and shaped up much bet
ter in the succeeding rounds.
The Englishman showed great clever
ness, and in the sixth, seventh and
eighth rounds looked to be a winner.
Britt came back, however, and fought
his man to the ropes, having a consid-
cradle advantage in the ninth and tenth
rounds

NEWARK TURNER'S
OPEN THE SEASON
WITH A VICTORY
Defeat Sterling Basketball Team
in Fast Game by Score of
"a to 10.

'La n mi LFI AH
The Newark Turn Verein basketball
team opened its season last night at
Turn Hall in William street in an ap-
propriate manner, defeating the Sterlz
ing Five, "a to 10. The game was fast
throughout, and the score does not in
dictate how close the contest really was.
1t was plain to be seen that the Sterl-
ing players We're not accustomed to
playing on a large court, for the Turn
ers, by their clever passing, had them
at q disadvantage. The play In the
first half was the best, for in the final
period the Turner's had no trouble In
scoring. In the first period the Turner's
Gagged the ball nine times, for a total
Of IS points, while the visitors secured
but three goals. In the final period the
turner's played a passing game and had
no trouble in scoring eight baskets,
while the Sterlings scored but twice in
this half. When the whistle. blew end
ing the game the score read "a to 10 in
favor of the Turner'S. The lineup:

PICKS UP ENGLISH
COIN BY BEATING SUMMERS

The American was declared the win
ner on points, although a considerable
section Of the spectators, who filled the
big hall, questioned the referees deci-
sion.
Conditions Of the fight called for ten
rounds at 1913 pounds, h men weigh
ing In at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Britt was favored in the betting. and
many of his local friends backed him
to put Summers away before the ten
round limit.
English fight fans were intensely in
terested in the fight and turned out in
large numbers for the battle. Ring
seats sold as high as SIS each, and the
very cheapest were listed at $3.50.
Britt has a number of theatrical en-
gagements to fill while abroad, but is
not overlooking anything in the real
fight game.
