MANAGER M'LEAN
any time this season. Yale was at
her top form against Princeton, and,
while she should have won, she
didn't win, and the hard game then is
almost sure to throw her off just like
the hard game against Harvard
threw Princeton off. If Princeton
and Yale had met on the day Prince
ton and Harvard met, Yale would
have been beaten surely. Yet week
Princeton Is just sufficiently off to
make 1t about even. Mind now your
"p's'' and "q's," as far as Harvard
and Yale are concerned. The game
the Ellis put up against the Tigers
was a grand one and all that, but re-
member the Crimson Is coming into
battle at her best, and she will not be
beaten, either. Maybe. because of the
method of the game, there will not be
any scoring, but as the teams appear
in relief on the gridiron Harvard
should surely be worth touchdown,
with Yale lucky-very lucky-with
even field goal to her credit. As a
| football team from stem to stern
Yale isn't in 1t with Harvard, and II
the Crimson's strength today was a!
apparent in the older days victor,
would be as sure next Saturday as il
Harvard had 1t right in her inside
pocket.
Alex Mclean, who had much to dc
with the success of Matty Baldwin a:
fighter. has another young aspirant
for chamionship honors in charge
whom he expects to bring to the from
some day. For years Mclean looked
after Baldwin, but one fine day the
manager saw Gilbert Gallant perform
and he Immediately took him under
| his wing. AS Gallant was in the same
class with Baldwin as to weight
Matty didn't like the new angle at all
and he soon found a way to breal
away from Mclean. There WASH
any fuss-just mutual agreement
and both are good friends today
OF course, Gallant is the apple of Nc
Leans eye and Alex, naturally, woul,
like to have him meet and defea
Baldwin, just to show the world, i
for no other reason, that his judg
ment in making the Minnesota shift
| from Baldwin to Gallant was superio
In every way. Matty may not thin
so, but the fact remains that he ha
turned down several offers to figh
Gallant. Only last week Baldwin ha
an opportunity to face Gilbert in tn
ring, but he cast the chance aside
To the credit of Matty be 1t said tina
he has a wise head on broad pair c
shoulders. and he was around wit
Manager Mclean long enough
know how to use it. SO IL he Illustrate
the plans of Alex to have him NEE
Gallant, 1t will be a case of retainin
much of the wise masters teaching
@
1t Is said of Mclean that he is on
of the wisest men In the boxing gam,
He can "see things" 1t Is declared
mile off, Under him Baldwin, 1t
claimed, also learned the art of "see
ond sight" and between the two the
were looked upon as the best money
getters in the world. But they wei
not alike in all ways. If Baldwi
had a way of making money he ha
a way of spending It. That is con
mon fault with most pugilists. Wit
Mclean 1t was different, When Ale
made dollar he put 1t to 'hatct
until finally he has amassed an emo
nous "nest egg" Baldwin, on II
other hand, placed his bank roll in
stream and 1t ebbed away Still ar
all. Matty is not taking any chanc'
against Alex and his man Gallan
for the simple reason that he wou
rather lose to someone else than lo
to the man who Is now being maj
aged by his old friend and mento
Alex Mclean.
