Crimson team has little to fear. The

a hundredfold to even compare with

was somewhat larger than looked
for. The Wolverines game against
Penn, and the Harvard game against
Princeton, would seem to indicate
that Harvard and Michigan are not
very far apart. Like Harvard, Mich

meet again Michigan would be In
much higher favor than when they
met before and Harvard won by

showed more football and better foot

The sensational playing of Mahan
stamps him as the hero of the col
lege football world. He has taken the
place of Charley Briokley, saat other
Harvard wonder, with his toe. Mahan
was the Crimson teams big asset on
Saturday. He kicked the two field
goals and he helped nightly in the
other scoring. He was the life of
the game, along with Hardwick and
Mahan will be nursed
along for the Yale game, the game
that Harvard will want to win more
than any other.

Football men are discussing a |
scheme to bring the best team In the

charity's sake, it being suggested that
the receipts be given to the Belgian
war sufferers. Such game might be
all right, but there is an air of pro-

The biggest thing in sight for the
fight fans of the East is ten-round
bout in the near future between Mike
Gibbons, THE Wizard" and Jimmy
Clabby, whom many believe to be the
best men in the middleweight ranks.
The champion in this division is SIM
ply matter of opinion, although the
honor is heaped upon one, AL Nc
Coy, who happened to knock out
George Chip, the recognized holder
Of the title. Since then Mccoy has
turned out to be a regular bloomer,
and Chip, too, has not lived up to
the reputation he earned in admin
istering the tx. o." to Frank Klaus,
who was champion at the time, on
two occasions; and since then, too,
and only the other day. Clahby put
himself in a position to be recognized
as a superior boxer by giving Chip a
whipping over the twenty-round
route. So, with Mccoy out of II and
Clabby, a worthy fellow in every way,
there is nothing that would tickle the
fans more than a fight between Clab-
by and Gibbons in the Garden. 1t
would be the biggest and best match
thing held in Madison Square, which,
by the way, was the Packey McFar-
land-Matt Wells bout, In financial
way. It would be clever go and it
might be a decisive go, for we all
know that Gibbons can slug and
Clabby lie some hitter on his own
hook.
We will see Gibbons in action to-
night at the Garden. He will have
Young Nike Donovan as his oppo-
nent. Tho bout promises to be inter-
esting In that there is always a de-
sire to see "The Wizard" perform. In
Donovan not much opposition is ex-
pected, but he should prove a good
trial horse to show Gibbons off to ad-
vantage. A fight in which Gibbons
and Clabby would be the principals is
what the fans want now, and Mana
ger Jimmy Johnston is sure to make
an effort to bring such a match about

Kid Lewis, the English lightweight
is to appear at the Garden tonight
and Phil Bloom, a pretty fair fell

the boy who beat Joe shugrue In
Australia and on that fight he must
amount to something. He goes or
