Although several colleges opened their
gr1diron season Saturday, two big eleV-
ems will inaugurate the roughing game
tomorrow, Dartmouth and Cornell; but
on Saturday comes the big splash,
when Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Penn
sylvania, Brown and practically all the
smaller stevens swing in line.
Dartmouth tackles Norwich Univer-
sity tomorrow, while the big ithaca
eleven will have the Allegheny College
warriors to contend with.
Princeton has Stevens as its opponent
Saturday, Yale will tackle Holy Cross,
Harvard lines up against Bates, Brown
leads off against New Hampshire State,
Dartmouth meets Massachusetts State
College, while Pennsylvania will have
the big Gettysburg eleven as initial
guests. All the big fellows should re-
cord wins, however, and in easy fashion,
too. The contests tomorrow and Satur-
day are important only that they mark
the practical opening of the 1911 season.
Interest will be conferred on what Har-
ward and Brown do in their initial
games. Fans will remember how these
two big teams fought two halves to a
draw, 6 to 6. Brown still has a Won
derfully strong eleven, while on the
other hand the Crimson has such an
awe-inspiring lineup of crack backs
that 1t will take a strong defense to
block them. Their line material. how
ever, is not quite as strong as in pre-
vious seasons. Princeton looks to have
an easy chance. The Tigers beat Stew
ems last season, Is to 0, and should
make even a larger score this season.
AS for Yale. the Bulldog will have to
go more than a little to hold Holy Cross
down. The latter have an exceptionally
fast combination. Yale won the game
last season, IL to 0. Pennsylvania ought
TO trim Gettysburg easily. The score
was 20 to 0 last year. Dartmouth and
Cornell will both go against new oppo-
nents tomorrow.

Irish" MAHON
and FERRIS BOX
FOUR CLOSE ROUNDS
Decision Was "Draw"-Leary
and Kurtz to Box Next
Week.

Irish" Mahon, bulletined as the
Pride of Newark" and Hun" Ferris,
of Orange, put up an exciting four
round bout in the main event of the
Troxler show at Central Institute last
night, and at the end of the fourth
round a draw decision was considered
the fair conclusion.
The Orangeite showed especially to
advantage in the third round, when he
ripped into Mahon with rights and lefts
and opened up a cut over the local boys
eye which bled freely and put Hun"
in a favorable light.
Mahon at best did not seem to be up
to his last years form. 1t was his
gameness that was put to the test.
Mabon Shows Form.
In the fourth round he showed a
flash of form when he went at his OPP
ponent like a lion and counterbalanced
any advantage Hun had gained
earlier in the fight. In this, the final
round, Hun came out of his corner in
hopes of putting Mahon away and
landed a singing blow to the jaw that
reused Mahon's fighting blood. In a
second they we're whirling around the
ring, Mahon fighting with the fury of
a wildcat. Early in h fight Mahon
landed a vicious right on Huns" eye
and the optic began to swell and both
cred the Orange boy. 1t was in at
tempting to retaliate for that blow
later in the bout tina Hun cut
Mahon's eye. Both boys are pretty
clever and a return match would strike
a popular chord.
Tn tho Othar bouts Ioa Cans the
Brooklynite, was the master of Young
Mercier, of Jersey City. Though the
latter stood up well Cans was a better
knowledge gave him all the better of
1t. Arthur Dixon did not appear for
his bout with Jim Finney and KID
Lennox, a local newsboy, was substi-
tuted. Lennox claimed that he vas
not in the best form. and the style of
defense he put up did not appeal to
the spectators, while his attack did not
worry Finney very much. The bout
was cut short.
Adam Duane and Young Fox had an
interesting bout, in which Duane
showed to advantage because he knew
more than his opponent.
Bull Anderson. originally scheduled
to face MERCER, was unable to box be-
cause of injuries received IN a recent
fight at New York. when his ear was
damaged. Cans had to be called on.
In the prelims Kid Burns and Eddie
Jackson fought a slashing draw. Young
Adams, of Elizabeth, and Young Ponto
boxed -four even rounds.
For next week Professor Troxler an
nounces that Billy Leary and Juju
Kurtz will meet In one of the star
bouts. Buddy Faulkes will meet Kid
Gross, of Philadelphia, in another stel-
lar attraction. and the rest OF the bill
will be first class.
