RECORDS MADE IN FIELD GOALS
 IN FORMER FOOTBALL GAMES
Bernie Trafford Of Harvard In 1890 Equalled Brickley's Work
 Saturday

Charlie Brick1ey's great feat of kicking five field goals against Yale last Saturday has e1icfted a lot of in- formation, and still more mfsinforma- tion, with regard to records in that football speciality, and many followers Of the game have been led to believe that the field goal is a strictly modern development under the new rules, as they have been in effect since the grand tinkering of 1910. Brick1ey's stunt does not entitle him to the rec ords for he must share it with an old time Harvard player by the name Of Trafford. Field. goals were very often kicked even in the good old days of the mass play and the touchdown.
 Trafford booted five drop kicks over the bar in the game with Cornell on November l. 1890. The Crimson star sent two of the. goals across from the 35-yard line and the other three from the yard mark. Brick1ey sent his drop kicks over from the 24, 40, 30 and 21 yard lines, and the goal from placement from the 30-yard mark
 However, it must be considered that the Harvard team which stood in front of Trafford outc1assed the op- posing eleven from Cornell as can be learned from the score of 77 to 0, and the Crimson had no trouble in holding

M'AULlFFE HAS
 TOUGH BATTLE
Local Boy Hopes To Beat Al
 DeImOnt Here Tonight.

In stacking up against Al Delmont sof Boston at Eagles hall next Tues day evening, Young McAuliffe faces the hardest proposition that he has ever encountered since entering the boxing game The Boston boy as ev- cry follower of the sport knows, is a wonderful little f7sh9er, as a perusal of his enviable record of over $50 fights win show. Starting in as ban tamweight about seven years ago, he met and defeated practically every good boy at his weight. He soon found it hard to secure opponents in this division and so then decided to branch out in the featherweight class.
 His experience in fighting at this weight was simply a repetition of what he experienced as a bantam. There is not a boy of any note in the whom he has not met, with the lone exception of the present champion, Johnny KiIbanes and that success has crowned his efforts as a feather. is best evidenced when the assertion is made that he has yet to suffer the toll of the deadly 10 seconds. and has but two newspaper decision against him. He has since wiped out these de- cisaons in return contests, and at the present day, is acknowledged by many of the leading fight experts of the east to be the logical candidate to meet KilDau6 For the worlds cham pfonsEIp honors. Cool, clever, brainy, resourcefuI. and possessed of as sting ing, damaging wa1lop, he is in every respect a real fighter, and one whose ring methods make an immediate hit with fight lovers

C., under whose auspices next Tuesdays exhibition will be held, made up a tentative list of eight fighters. from ~~rrteTr ffa a 1fkafv OrnoneT1f- for the local favor1te, Young McAuIiffe. Frankie Burns of Jersey City was se- 1ected first, because Of his strong local following. It was impossible to make definite arrangements with him owing to weight conditions. Abe Atte1l was next considered, but the 1atter's thea tr1ca1 engagements were a preventa- tive The next choice rested between Al DeImont and Jimmy Walsh, both of Boston. After much de1iberation, and a close scrutiny at the records of both boys, together with suggestions from many local fans, it was deemed advisable to try and secure the ser vices of Delmont De1mont first re- fused because of a previous engage meut in St Louis, but after the offer of a huge gaarantee, and the infer-l ence was implied that a win over Me- Auliffe would place him in position to secure further local bouts, he agreed to sign.

back the weak Cornell line in protect ing the kicker. Like the modern liar yard star, Traffcrd succeeded in kick ing five out of seven goals.
 There have been quite a number Of instances Of mems booting four goals in one game. The trick was first turned by Alex. Moffat of Princeton in the battle with Harvard in 1883- Alex had a knack of kicking equally well with both legs. Mofat's goals were all scored from drop kicks, one from the 50, another from the AS and two from the 40 yard chalklines. He still holds the record for total distance of kicks for goal in one game, witt. IFS yards.
 There has been a lot of conjecture about the number of field goals kicked by Walter Eckersal, the famous Chi cago quarterback in the game with Wisconsin, in 1903 Eckersan kicked four goals, one from the 45-yard mark and three from the 25-yard boundary. All were drop kicks. Tho only other case of four goals being kicked by a man in any one game is that of Mike Balenti of the Carlisle Indians in the tuss1e with the Navy in 1908. The Indians goals were all booted over from placement, from the 45, 35, 25 and 20 yard lines.

TODAY IN PUGm1sT1C ANNALS.

19O3-Bob Fitzs1mmons defeated George Gardiner in 20 rounds at San Francisco. The previous year Gardt- ner had fought 20 rounds with Jack Johnson, and was defeated by a mar row margin. He was a hard-hftting, fearless fighter, and one of the best of the midd1eweights of his time, al- though he did not win the title. He was a native of County Clare. Besides his bouts with Ruby Robert and Jack Johnson, he took part in about a hun dred others. He whipped Peter Maher, twice defeated Jack Root, had two victories over Joe Walcott, and won over a, number of other good men.
 1905-Joe Jeanette won on foul in End round from Jack Johnson at Phil adelphia~

PuGnIsTTC CHAMPIONS DON'T
 ASSAY VERY HIGH JUST NOW

Looking over the list of the present champions of the prize ring, one is forced to confess that they do not as say very high
 Beginning at the top, Jack John son, who must still be credited with the Heavyweight title, is far from be- ing a popular fighter. There are left very few places on the map of the habitable globe where the big black would be permitted to put on the gloves for a, title bout. A great fight ing machine in his day, there can be little doubt that Johnson, after years of easy living, has gone to seed. A real white hope remains to be de- veloped. Sam Langford is manifest ing a tendency toward fat, and finds it increasingly difficult to get into fighting trim. Jeanette is growing old, and McVey has been eliminated.
 Those two divisions which have produced some of the greatest boxers in boxing history, the middleweight and welterweight classes, are without title holders. There are several claim ants in the middleweight division, but it would be sacrilege to mention any of them in the same breath with Jack Dempsey. Bob Fftzsimmons, Kid Mo Coy or Stanley Ketchel, nor even with such near-champIons of the past as Brooklyn Jimmy Carroll, Jim Hall or George Gardiner.
 The welterweight division is even worse off. Mcfarland might go for that title, but there is nobody for him to fight. And this is the class that once had such champions as Tommy Ryan, Billy Smith and Joe Walcott.
 Willie Ritchie is a clever boxer, and so is Freddie Welsh, but the most de- voted of their admirers will hardly class them with Jack McAuliffe, Joe Cans or Kid Lavigne.
 Johnny KiIbane, as a featherweight, doesn't compare with Ike Weir, Ter rible Terry McGovern or Young Cor bett, nor with Abe AttelI in his prime.
 And where, among any of the box CTS 7f @-ay will you find one that has mastered the game so thoroughly as George Dixon? This question is hard ly fair, however, for the little negro had few, if any, peers in the whole history of the game A Dixon is born only about once a century.

COMPARE MCFARLAND
 TO JACK DEMPSEY
Bv T. s. Andrews.l

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 22.-Packey Mcfarland, the Chicago boxer, who hovers between the lightweight and welter weight classes, is going to be a busy boy this winter if he keeps all the engagements he is now planning Do not be surprised if Packey for sakes the light weight class for a time and enters the welter weight di- vision, just long enough to fight Mike Gibbons in New York at 144 pounds at 3 o'clock, after which he will meet a few more of the aspiring ones and then take a water trip to the land of the Kangaroo. Previous to this the stockyards pride will take on Jack Britton in a 10-round contest in Mil waukee, but there seems to be little chance of landing Willie Ritcnie for a match with the clever Chicago lad.
 Ritchie has great regard for Packey; and well he might have, for he knows as we'll as any one (having trained with Packey for a, time) just what he is capable of doing. Packey to-day is very close to the famous Nonparen Jack Dempsey-that is, in clever ness, style and everything that goes to make up a great fighter; in fact Packey is more clever than the famous Dempsey, and if he allowed himself to get a bit heavier he would not be far from sealing the same. for Jack never weighed more than 147 to 150 at best. Packey has had a longing to make the round-the-worId tour ever since Hugh Mcintosh and the writer signed him to articles three years ago, Packey having backed out at that time because his mother enter ed such strong objections. The moth CT has since become reconciled to the fact that Packey can not always re- main around Chicago and is now will ing that he should go.

 The Army and Navy football squads will reach New York Friday probably and will have practice at the Polo Grounds to get accustomed to the lay of the gridiron. Neither team has played in the Brush Stadium before. The odds favor the Navy, but there are many who will bet the Army will break the row of three defeats.

BATTLING LEVlNSKY
 BEATS TANK GILBERT

Battling Levinsky,z heavy weight champion of the Ghetto, was not re- quired to do much battling at the Olympic A. C., New York, last night in order to win from Tank Gilbert, late of England. In effect it was a bag punching stunt for the BattIer, who lambasted Tank to a standstilI near the close of the fourth round, where upon Referee Dan Tone stepped in and stopped the unequal contest.
 Gilbert is a 1anky chap, whose food does not appear to nourish him, and he was at a decided disadvantage with the vigorous, well musc1ed Levinsky.
 In the matter of boxing Gilbert was outclassed, and as soon as Gilbert found he could do nothing at long range he closed in and proceeded to swap punches with the Battler. This was exactly what Lev1nslxy was wait ing for, and he all but stopped Gilbert the first rally.

The local boy is still under the direction of Dan Nor gan, the New York promoter. He is not at all discouraged by his de- feat at the hands of Al Dewey last week. Ketche1I says he was suffer ing from a. severe cold and was under weight.
 In order to have a suitable place to train Ketchell will have a gymna- city. He says it does him no good to go changing around to different club houses Morgan thinks well of Ketchell and intends to match him against some good boys.
