EW YORK, Nov. George
n Chips recent decisive victory
\ over Frank Klaus, whose pre-
vious record entitled him to considera-
ton as one OF the foremost candidates
for middleweight hOnOrs, has certainly
stimulated interest in the dOings Of
members Of that long neglected divi-
sion of pug5Iism. Since the death of
Stanley Ketchel undoubtedly one Of
the greatest middleWeights who ever
dOnned a glove there has been no le-
climate champion of the 15S pound
class. There have been a number Of
claimants from Billy Papke down to
McGOOrty, Klaus and Dillon, but not
one of them could rightfully claim the
hOnOrs- Probably Klaus had accom-
plished as much, If not a bit more,
than his rivals, although he failed by
a great margin to show that ne was
of championship timber in recent bouts
with Eddie McGOOrty and Jack Dillon.
VIII Dispte Chips Claims.
Chip now looms on the middleweight
horizon as the most promising Of all
the championship candidates. True,
there are several others who will dis
Dillon and possibly Jimmy Clabby- The
fact remains however, that George has
accomplished something tina the
others failed to do. Frank Klaus has
had quite q long career IN the ring, but
IN all his nine or ten years as Il boxer
ne never tasted decisive defeat until
Chip put him out McGoOrty, Dillon,
Papl1e and many others have had the
chance that was given Chip, but he
WAS the only one who made good
Therefore We viii have to concede that
his claim to consideration as a worthy
aspirant must take precedence over
those Of his rivals.
I viii not be surprised if Chip IS seen

McGOOrty Gains in Weight.

most likely to succeed to KetcheTs

Captain of Yale's Team Is
Lucky in Escaping Injury
in Big Contests.

New York, Nov Captain Ketcham,
of Yale, has such remarkable versa
tility on the football field that the
coaches are in a quandary as to just
where to play him. He is equally eff
fective as guard and as center. It is
probable, however, that it is in the
latter position he Will be played in the
big games against Harvard and Prince
ton Ketcham is one of the few big
guns of football who seems to know
how to avoid getting hurt he can mix
it with as much vigor and Indifference
to the preservation of his limbs and
features as any man in the game. but
somehow he never gets seriously hurt
On the other hand, Paul Pumpelly, the
crack halfback, whose dextrOus toe
evened up the score of the Harvard
Yale game last year, is very unfOr-
tunate in the matter of injuries. Twice
during the present season he has been
laid up through injuries received in
practice scrimmages and is now a mem
Der of the hospital squad With this
great halfback out of the game, the
Yale chances of success against Har-
ward and Princeton would be reduced
about 20 percent.

imbued with the idea that they were
the ones best fitted by nature to lick
the negro. What became of that vast
army Of wouldbe fighters is a ques-
ton. OF the entire crop only Carl
Morris remains. and he has made good
to a certain extent.
Recent developments in the ring have
convinced the public, however, that it
takes more than bulk to make a sue
cessful pugilist. Many men blessed
with marvellous physical advanta yes
have been tried and found wanting.
There is an old saying of the ring that
a good big man can always lick a good
little man, but 1t IS equally true that
a good little man can best a bad big
man. We have seen this illustrated in
local rings frequently during the past
year; The spectacle of 'GUnboat"
Smith for instance tanning men
outweighing him by 40 or so pounds all
around the ring is a sight tending TO
put bulk at a discount.
It is rumored that the boxing COM
misSioners are to take up the question
Of decisions by referees at their next
meeting. 1t is high time. II the mem
berS of that board have the best inter-
est Of the sport at heart, and I believe
they have. a resolution in favor of de-
cisiOns will be forthcoming without
unnecessary delay
Decisions will please everybody in
terested-public. promoters and boxers.
Until such time as decisions are given
by experienced and capable referees
there is bound to be dissatisfaction all
around. AS il is now the selection of
winners and losers rests with the news
paper men, and some of those men have
had no experience in the game out
side Of covering occasional bouts for
their papers. A man who has followed
boxing in one capacity OF another for
years may attend a boxing match in
which to his experienced eye one Of
the contestants is an easy winner on
points Imagine his surprise when he
picks Up the paper the next day to
learn that, according to the judgment
of some youngster Of exceedingly lin
tied experience in covering bouts.
and no practical experience at all, the
other man is the winner"

good friends in most cases. Quite a.
Few Of the local pressmen know the
game thoroughly and seldom make
mistakes when it comes to Judging

doing the best they can all the time
But in this big city where there are
a score or more boxing clubs in full

judgment on bouts is absolutely i'm
perative. and the only solution lies in
clothing the regularly appointed ref

ions.

was too timid to take advantage of
McGOOrty's palpable poor condition.
And Gibbons took a big drop in
the estimation Of many who had rated
him a great deal higher than his faint
hearted performance of that evening
proved him to be.
CIabby Gains in Favor.
With McGoOrty out Of the running,
Chips strongest opposition should come
from his recent victim (Klaus), Jack
Dillon, and possibly Jimmy Clabby, who
has been showing his best form in re-
cent Pacific coast matches. am
weight proposition, but I believe Klaus
can make 15S without much trouble,
while Clabby is several pounds below
that notch. Then there is also the
chance that Nike Gibbons will elect
to take another crack at the middle
weights. Gibbons has the goods all
right. but like Clabby is a bit shy on
pOundage, and possibly it was the
knowledge of that discrepancy that
contributed to his non-aggressiVenes
in the McGoOrty battle.
Chip, according to some critics, de-
feated Klaus with what is known to
the elect as a lucky" punch. Be that
as it may, Georges record indicates

in the Klaus match he proved he is

to be despised.
Klaus Might Do Better.
Still Klaus might give a better ac-
count of himself in a return match. It
may be as his. friends claim, he was
over confident and that it was his
own carelessness that gave Chip the
chance to win OF course there was
never a fighter yet who didn't have
an excuse when beaten. Klaus is en-
titled to his ''alibi," but the public
viii take more stock in his excuses
after he proves in the ring that Chips
victory was "A flUke-and not before.

HARVARD DEFEATS
CORNELL. @ TO 6

Cambridge, Mass. Nov. Harvard
defeated Cornell this afternoon, by
score of 20 to 8, in a game marked
by much open work by both sides
Harvard was minus three of its star
men, Mahan in the backfield being in
the hospital and Hitchcock and O'Brien
out because of lame ankles. While
coach Haughton kept his regulars in,
Cornell could do nothing against Har-
wards line but the Ithacans had the
sweet satisfaction of scoring a touch
down, even though it was against the
substitutes, within five minutes before
the finish Of the game. This touch
down came on straight line plunges by
Barrett and Fritz from Harvard's %
yard line.
Previous to this the Crimson goal
line was never in danger, Harvard
time and again charging the Cornell
line for gains ranging from 5 to Is
yards and end runs that netted 10 to
Is yards A strong wind played havoc
with the punters.
During the first period, the Ithacans
resOrted to the forward pass, but Har-
ward broke up this play on four diff
ferent occasions, capturing the ball
and placing it either in position for
touchdown or a field goal by Brick
ley
After Harvard had received the ball
on an uncOmpleted forward pass,
Brickley and Hardwick rushed the ball
from Cornelfs 80 yard line, where
Brickley kicked a goal from the field,
the first score of the game. Cornell
again lost the ball on a forward pass
on its % yard line. From this point
the Crimson backfield carried the ball
on five rushes until Brickley put over
the first touchdown. Hardwick failed
to kick the goal. Harvard's second
touchdown was a duplicate of the first
another intercepted forward pass and
then three line charges. Hardwick
kicked goal.
In the fourth period, coach Haugh-
ton sent in a number of substitutes
and this weakened the Harvard line
to great extent for Cornell started
its onward march down the field.
until it landed the pigskin behind
Harvard's goal.
Barrett, the Cornell half back, fea-
tured for his team, while Worthington
at tackle played a slashing game for
Harvard. Captain Storer. who has been
shifted to end, played a strong game
in his new position

CHICAGO HUMBLES
ILLINOIS, % TO 7

marked offensive superiority, Chicago,
humbled Illinois, % to Z, here this
afternoon. Little POgue threw a scare
into Stages forces by scoring a touch
down in the first five minutes of play,
but the steady grinding of the Ma
rooms machine was too much for
Zeuppke's cohorts and the contest de-
veloped into procession towards the
the Illinois goal.
The Maroon backs alternated in hit
ting the line, SE1rtlnE the ends and
tossing short forward passes, all the
time steadily moving down to the
Illinois goal posts When the final
whistle sounded, Norgren, Pierce Rus
sell and Kennedy had crossed the line
for touchdOwns and Harris had booted
the ball over for four additional
points.
Gray and NOrgren proved the star
ground gamers, repeatedly going
through the Illinois line for gains of

relieved him, proving, a worthy sue
cessor. Russell also f eatured some

COMMISSIONERS AUTHORIZE
ROAD IMPROVEMENT

The county commissioners have au-
thOrized the improvement OF stretch
es in the county roads that needed
repair before the winter weather sets
in, and work upon 1t will commence
at once under direction Of Road Su-
peryisor Brinkerhon. The directors
of the Good Roads association waited
upon the commissioners Wednesday,
calling attention to numerous places
that could be made much better with
little expense, and these are included
in the road to be improved, the es-
timated cost Of all the work being
$4,000 The improvement will con-
sist in the grayeling and hard sur
facing of stretches that have already
been graded These dirt roads are
excellent during the summer, but
with the rains of winter would be-
come soft and difficult for auto tray-
ell, and the object Of the association
was to make the road good enough
that through travellers who desire to
take the Crescent City-Eureka route
need not hesitate because of the char
acter OF the highway. A stretch of
road on Slate creek will be the big
gest piece Of Improvement undertake
en-, the estimate Of cost for graVelling
that being $500. The road between
Waldo and Kerby will also be i'm
proved, as will three-fourths Of a
mile of the Holland road. These are
the only bad places on the Josephine
county end of the Crescent City road,
and with their improvement the road
will be in perfect condition.
Other road work authorized by the
commissioners include a piece on the
Williams valley road and three
fourths of a mile on the Galice road
below Merlin. Mr. Brinkerhoff will
start work without delay, and will
have all the gravelling done before
the fall rains.
