WHAT AILS YALE CREWS.
Lack of Material Main Cause of Re-
cent Losses.

NEW YORK, December 24.-There has
been some inquiry and puzzlement at
Yale of late over the compelling cause
of continued defeat of the crews. Earlier
in the season Capt. Frost of the varsity
crew explained by means Of tables that
light weight for many seasons; that is,
light weight as compared with the aver
age Of Harvard crews, was what did it.
AS he figured it out, the desirable men
averaged in weight something more than
he did himself, so it has been suggested
since that he might even withdraw from
the crew unless he believed that his pres
ence would be helpful.
Since then Cam Waterman, an oarsman
of about seven or eight years back, comes
to the front with another explanation. He
believes that men have preferred of late
years to play foot ball and get the letter
that way, rather than to adopt rowing-a
much more wearing sport He says it
may be true that light weight had some
thing to do with 1T, but he points out
the example of Freddie Briggs and 9TH
ers as sign that an oarsman needs not
weight as prime requisite.

FOUR EX-CEIAMPIONS GATHER
in THE SAME ROOM AT ONCE
Farrell, Lavigne, Nelson and Forbes Hold a.
Reunion Three of Them Held
Lightweight Title.

DETROIT, Mich, December 24.-Four
former champions met in Detroit yes
terday. Three Of them have held the
lightweight title and the other was the
champion OF bantamweights. One OF
the four was awarded the title by de-
fault away back in the days when they
fought bare-knuckIes. This one is Bob
Farrell. the oldest Of the group. Next
to him in age comes George Lavigne,
the best lightweight who ever laced
on glove, the most wonderful man
his weight has shown in the ring. Next
comes Battling Nelson, who was still a
champion a year ago today, and Harry
Forbes, who a few years back was
considered invincible in the bantam
weight class.
Farrell and Lavigne are living IN
Detroit; Bat is looking for match
and Forbes is taking the boys on In
short bouts whenever convenient
From 1875 to 1881 the lightweight
class considered Farrell Its logical
leader Although he never won the
title in q recognized championship bout,
he defeated all corners and was looked
upon as champion much as Tommy
Burns was, although Jeffries retired un-
defeated.
Bob fought them with his bare
knuckles and he didn't scrutinize the
scales. He took them on weighing
from ten to thirty pounds more than
he weighed. He fought lightweights,
and heavyweights with
out a murmur or defeat. He was Of
the old school, the Sullivan type OF

AMERICAN FIGHTERS DOING

Roy Bronson Gets Clear Decision Over
Tommy Jones in Hard Twen-
N-Round Battle.

Bronson had a shade in the weights, seal
ing at about 134lS, and Sullivan at 13O
Sullivan was the shorter Of the two, but
very stOcky.
In the first round Bronson began jab-
bling with his left hand and reached Sid's
face several times before the latter could
realize what was up. Then the local lad
began to rush in and mix and send his
left to the face. but Ray blocked most of
the blows beautifully with his right glove.
The second was full of action and found
the boys willing to mix at a rapid pace.
Ray jabbed Sullivan's JAW repeatedly and
Sid responded with several lefts TO the
head. but as before Ray blocked in grand
style. and escaped most of them. 1t was
the same in the third, with Ray jabbing
and Sid swinging. Sid slipped to the floor,
but was up again and doing without any
damage. Ray also began to use a right
chop to the head and he staggered Sid
once toward the bell. Ray had q big
shade in the fourth. using his left lab to
perfection and sending in several body
blows. besides chopping with his right. 1t
was the same in the fifth. Ray doing all
the work and jabbing Sid at will. The
Yankee boy fought SO fair that the crowd
cheered him for his good work. Sid was
tired. but willing. Sullivan was again
tired in the sixth. from receiving lefts to
the face and rights to the body and head.
He did not seem able to gauge Bronson at
all.
In the seventh Sullivan braced up and
did much better, but his blows did not
have any effect. and the ones to the head
were mostly blocked. Then Ray pounded

Ray had his man almost out. but did not

eighth. having evidently secured his sec

three lefts to the face and right to the

appeared to have a right hand. Ray re-

In the ninth Sid again came back
strong, the minutes rest having worked
wonders, but he tired when Ray sent In
several lefts and rights to the body and
kidneys. Toward the bell Sid caught
Ray hard left to the chin. but 1t did
again in the tenth. Sid made fash, but
only a flash, for Ray kept UP continual
jab to the face and had Sid's head bob
bling back like a cork on the water. In
med in several to the face. but only two
landed. One made Ray realize that Sid
had a punch and he came back like a
shot with jabs and chops to the head that
made Sid cover.
Sid appeared stronger in the twelfth and
he rushed In. but Ray jabbed and upper
cut him. Then Sid used both hands In a
straight rush and reached Ray twice. but
he returned the compliment with interest
and had Sid staggering at the bell. Ray
fought carefully in the thirteenth and
this gave Sid a chance to recuperate. In
the fourteenth Ray again shot several
Iefts to the face and wind and landed a
hard right to the chin at the bell. which
dazed him. The fifteenth found Ray jab-

with jabs and chops and he staggered
at the bell. 1t was the same in the
seventeenth and eighteenth. Only Sulli-
vans gameness and ability to take pun
ishment saved him. He was groggy at
the bell in each round and again in the
nineteenth. Sid seemed relieved when the
twentieth came. and he did not try to
do anything but stay the limit. Ray tried
for q knockout. but could not succeed.
Sullivan was groggy and happy when the

tant bouts at present He was feeling
rather under the weather two weeks ago
when he went up into the mountains. but
seemed to recover. However, either .e
water or something went wrong with him
and he became subject to an attack Of
jaundice. The attending doctor said it
was not serious. but would keep him
from training for a couple Of weeks The
match with Dave Smith had been set for
December II, but this had to be put ove.
Billy was feeling much better today and
said he might be able to resume training
by the last of November. in which event
the bout might be arranged for Decem-
