YOUNG M'AULIFFE SHADES

loose was at close quarters and on these occasions he ripped few into McAuliffe. The local boy swung a choice collection of slants at his op- ponent's face and body. The main trouble was that Shea didn't wait un- til something hit him. A twist of the head, and a sudden raising of the arms generally prevented the coming blow from landing. Shea is a bundle of nervous energy anyway, but it look ed last night as if McAuliffe. who has improved rapidly, had the New Haven boy worried.
 In the semi-final Cal Mccarthy made Eddie Kelly look like a beef stew. Cal is a graceful youngster who is clever boxer. He jabbed Kelly at will. His favorite method was to poke his left into Eddie's clas- sic map and then whip over the right before his rival knew what was com- ing.
 Kelly doesn't pretend to be a boxer. He just plods along hoping to land the old haymaker, which has put many to sleep But Mccarthy wouldn't give him a chance. He just laced away at Kelly and had that proud father of eight round bout was finished.
 Kid Perrone had 1t on Young Britt by a slight margin in their four rund session. The Michigan boy tried hard and was always willing to mix matters but his blows didn't make much impression on the sturdy Per- rome. It was claimed afterward that Britt has injured his right hand and was thereby prevented from show ing his usual stuff.
 Young Bedner and Young Polaskie had a lot of fancy shifts in their four round go. They had some new for nations which would go great in foot ball. Polaskie once tried to give Bedner the hand and foot and on an- other occasion tried to run around the ring and sneak up behind Bedner. draw is a fair verdict.
 There was a large and fashionable audience. Earl Christie, who will tell you on the level that Knickerbocker is regular beer, got his dates mixed and strayed into the hall. He thought it was Friday night and that the Knickerbocker A. c. was pulling off a show. Earl had to telephone his hired man to rush over with case of light and dark brew in order to square himself. Danny. Walker was the referee of the evening and Harry Whiting, who has the big words eat ing out of his hand, was the an- nouncef.

field, or at least within the 25 yard line-wil gain many adherents. "The rules forbidding tackling below the knees and decreeing the ball is dead when any part of man except his feet touches the ground when in the grasp of an opponent, should be either modified or enforced"
 Camps second All-American team is as follows:
 Ends-Smith of Harvard, and Very of Penn State; tackies-Munk of Cor nell, and Scully of Yale; guards Yale; center, Bluethenthal of Prince ton; quarterback - Sprackling of Brown; halfbacks-Morrey of Dart mouth, and Camp of Yale; fullback- Rosenwald of Minnesota.
 Camp, of Yale, selected as a second string halfback, is the son of the au- thor.
 Camps third team selections are:
 Ends-Ashbaush of Brown, and Kal- lett of Syracuse; tackles-Buzer of Wisconsin, and Brown of Annapolis; guards-Francis of Yale. and Arnold of West, Point; quarterback-Capro of Minnesota; alfbacks-Mercer of Pennsylvania, and Wells of Michigan; fullback-Hudson of Trinity; center Weems of Annapolis.
 Camp declares the game, as now played, is too complex for the aver age quarterback to secure results and demands a simplification of the rules. As to other changes, he says:
 eve should check the present con- tinuous string Of subs, allow coaches to walk up and down the sidelines or speak to the officials, and we should simplify the rules which require 50 much watching of five yard and 20 yard spaces even though the doing so may affect the forward pass and on- side kick

(By Wagner)

The cuckoo clock was footing the merry hour of midnight before the large and select audience got away from Sokol hall where Young McAu- life of this city and Tommy Shea of New Haven had box fight last night. If Happy Jack Gordon, the match maker of the Oxford A. c. hadn't slip- ped Shea 25 extra doubloons the fight wouldn't have started until the milk man came.
 The boxing game won't last much longer in this thriving hamlet unless the boxers and their managers stop their practice of starting big argu- ment about the time the main bout is scheduled. It has been the cus- tom for the boys to count up the house before they consent to don the for the folks who part with good money to see some excitement. No- i, body appears to know why the count ing couldn't be done earlier in the ev- ening instead of waiting until the star bout is slated to start. But one thing is certain. If the greed of the boxers and their handlers is allowed to triumph the sport will soon go out side and die quietly.
 Last evening it was a question of weighing in that made an hours de- lay and exhausted the patience of the crowd. Young McAullffe weighed at in the afternoon and Shea claimed o'clock was the hour agreed upon. Shea was afraid the local boy might be a pound or two heavier and he re- fused to go on until he got more coin. McAuliffe was ready to start and was waiting fully 20 minutes be- fore Shea appeared.
 Matchmaker Gordon should not be blamed for he did everything. possi ble to make Shea get into the ring. The New Haven boys tactics did not gain >him any friends in this city, how ever.
 The match itself was very interest," ing. McAuliffe outpointed Shea by a slight margin. The local boy forced the fighting in almost every round and gains the decision because of the fact that he did most of the leading. His blows did little damage. however, because many of them failed to land squarely.
 Shea was not marked at the end of the eighth round and McAuliffe was only slightly cut. AS a defensive box CT Shea showed himself the goods but he did little in carrying the fight to the enemy. The only time he cut

Mike Gibbons Wins
 From Walter Coffey
St. Paul Wonder Outclasses Californian in Fast Ten
 Round Bout

Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul welter- weight champion, obtained a strong claim on the middieweight title by thoroughly outclassing Walter Coffey, the California phenom, in ten fast rounds at the Fairmont A. c. last night. Gibbons. who is looked upon as larger edition of Packey McFar- land, gave an exhibition the like of which has seldom been seen in a New
 York ring. Coffey is reputed to pos- sess a right which carried a som nolent effect whenever it lands, bu. Gibbons never permitted Coffey to connect with his stock in trade. Not once did Coffey land an effective right, and he did much better when he resorted to jabbing Gibbons
 It was an unceasing left jab that gave Gibbons the honors. He poked the left paw into Coffey's visage whenever he felt so inclined, and that COffey shaped up taller and heavier than Gibbons, but could make little use of these advantages until the last three rounds, when he tried to rough Gibbons and allowed himself to lean heavily in the c1inches. Gibbons vii after the eighth round, for early in this session he landed a hard right and fell in on Coffey before the lat ter could do anything.
 The St. Paul marvel started out in
 grand style. and but for his wonder full assimilative powers, Coffey would have been knocked out. Gibbons jabbed at will in these rounds, and in the second round landed a snappy left to the jaw. Coffey's eyes glazed and his knees sagged. But he waf affected only momentarily, and came back at Gibbons with a rush. Gib- bons continued to pepper Coffey with ] the left in the third round, and had l his antagonist on the ropes from g series of rights and lefts to the face and body. A left smash to the jaw
 started the trouble for Coffey, for hs 1 began to retreat, and Gibbons chased
 him about the ring until he had him l on the ropes.
 | Coffey held his clever foe even ir the fourth, but in the next thres
 rounds Gibbons cut Coffey's face tt ribbons with jabs. Coffey tried t, hold Gibbons glove in these round:
 to prevent him from administering
 more punishment, but this enraget
 Gibbons and Coffey was beaten uI more than before.

HUGH JENNINGS ABLE TO RECEIVE VISITORS

Scranton, Pa., Dec. 6.-Hugh Jen- nings. manager of the Detroit base ball team, who was so seriously in jured in an auto accident near Gouldsboro Friday night last, was able yesterday to sit up and receive callers at the State Hospital. Prop ped with pillows and swathed in a bathrobe of Indian colors, Jennings from an invalid's chair described through head bandages his escape from death, and seemed to get a lot tion. If relapse does not occur, and Dr. D. A. Webb, his physician, does not look for a setback, Jennings will leave the hospital on Saturday.
 'I was not overly familiar with the road" said Jennings, in speaking of and even, and I should say we were making about fifteen miles an hour. but not more than that, when I saw that we were striking & sharp curve and I slowed down to about ten miles. The curve takes double I knew of the second twist leading to the bridge, up went one wheel along the elliptieal span and over we went into the creek.
 'The instant the front wheel be- gan to climb the span realized that something was wrong. I gripped the steering wheel tighter, hoping to get back to terra f1rma, and the next moment I was sputtering water from my mouth I couldn't tell whether we had dropped one inch or tumblej down a mine shaft. I experienced no pain from the awful bump. It hap pened in a flash and gave me no time to think, except to utter a prayer as quick as a snapshot camera takes a picture As to the sensation of go- ing over and down I really have, no recollection. I can remember wrig- gling to get my face out of the water as I lay under the machine. You know the rest I've landed here, and just tell them that you saw me"

Camp does not pick 8 single West ern player for his All-American. Princeton, the Eastern champion, gets three players, Harvard two, Yale three and Carlisle, West Point and Annap- oils one each.
 Camps selections, together with his ideas for necessary changes in the playing rules for 1912, appear in the forthcoming issue of Golfers Weekly.
 Camp declares the season showed great inconsistency, both in teams and in individual players. ''The principal contests of the year were won or lost through a tumble or a fluke."
 He declares the forward pass. used less frequently this year than last, has not. been productive of spectacular plays and often has resulted in dis aster. The same, he thinks, is true of the on-side kick. Camp says:
