A LAnfENT FoR YALE.
Emitted by Son of Eli in the West.

(From the Chicago Trfbune.) In days of yore Ya1e's football
 Was very rough and crude. They used to treat old Harvard
 Like so much breakfast food; And rolling down to Mory's
 The sweatered seniors came, Roaring with booze and yict'ryt After the Harvard game. But now the sons of Eli,
 Are gentle and refined, / When Harvard makes a touchdowH : They try hard not to mind, When stepped upon by Colgate Yalerstudents never swear. Some go and plunge in Oolong,
 Some go and do their hair. I love such sweet refinement,
 All rudeness I abhor; 'sB hope Yale wins the tatting,
 From Vassar and Bryn Mawr, But when it comes to football,
 think I'1I save my bets, Lest some coarse Harvard person
 Should slap New Haven's pets.

BOXING NOTES
Rx IFS. Andrews.l

The calling of, or rather postpone ment, of the proposed match between Mike Gibbons and Packey Mcfarland before the Madison Square Garden club in New York is to be regretted and it is hoped that Billy Gibson will be able to get tnemstogether at a later date. Packey has been accused of de- lfberabely calling off the match owing to money matters, but MT. Gibson is authority for the statement that such is not the case. It developed that the real reason was that PackeysS intend ed father-in-1aw was very i'll and he refused to fight at that time. He de- serves all the more credit for his stand and MT. Gibson did the right thing in letting the fans know the real reason. It is very probable that the two clever stars will get together at a later date and try their skill in a ten round bout. People think that Mike will have the surprise of his life when he tackles the Chicago boy. He will not meet one of the kind he has been able to jab with his left and get away with it, but a. man who is just as fast and clever as himself and who knows the game from A to z and back again. It is also a. good bet that Packey Mo Farland will put up the greatest fight of his career, for he wants to show the fans that he has the ability and can deliver the goods. His fight with
 Jack Britton in Milwaukee should not be taken as 8, criterion of what he can do. On that occasion Britton fought on the defensive most of the time and was going away whenever he did try to deliver a blew, so that it was extra hard for man to get to him. It made the contest look poor, which it was, for two such clever men, but that it not saying that Packey will not do
 better against the St. Paul star. If they meet it will be a treat, for it is not so much of a scientific contest as many imagine.
 Everything seems to be set now for the big match of the year-the ten round tilt between Ad Wolgast. the i ex-champion, and Willie Rftchie, the present holder of the tit1e-before the Queensbury Athletic club of Milwau- kee. March 18th. Both have accepted
