SPORTING NOTES.

Sixteen men at Cornell are wearing
decoration that has been rarely seen
at Ithaca except when some old grad"
came back to town. The 16 football
players who had a part in beating
Penn, q to 0, last Thanksgiving day,
together with their manager, have re-
ceived gold footballs as watch charms.
Alfred p. Lane, the Olympic cham
pion, who is to instruct gratuitously
the New York patrolmen how to
handle a revolver, was only boy
when he won at Stockholm in 1912,
and still is very young. He was one
of the few winners of two gold med
ais in the Stockholm Olympics. He
was first in the individual dueling
matches and also in the individual
competition at fifty meters, besides
being the highest scorer in the team
dueling match and also in the team
fifty-meter contest.
Mike Dorizas, Penn's Greek, who is
destined to be the intercollegiate
heavyweight wrestling champion, is
said to have come back from Annapo-
lis after his bout with Howe, the
MILDLY football guard Saturday night,
with a broken nose, two black eyes
and many body bruises and also with
the alleged inclination to quit the
game before he killed somebody. He
feared there might be some limit to
the control of his temper. Dorizas
got the decision by his aggressIveness
on points but he told John Craig. the
Penn wrestling coach, that he won the
greatest victory Of his life when he
kept his temper in spite OF Howes
rough tactics.
