BILE. If he licks them no will have
that much moro confidence" A ma
jority of the Milwaukee critics. friendly
to White. called his bout with Welsh
O draw, which indicates that Freddie
must have done pretty well. Also most
OF the Buffalo writer's thought Welsh
held Duffy even. which likewise seems
to show that tho Brlton probably had
the hotter OF that match.
+ Might XIII the Golden Goose.
It may be said that tho only real
asset tighter has to turn into money
is his popularity with the public. That
being tho case. Welsh had better watch
out, or no will kill the golden goose
by continuing to seek unfair favorable
conditions In the weights for match
It was an old trick OF Packey McFar-
in ut the lightweight limit, while
Packey entered the ring at catch
weights. Packey sometimes would out
weight his opponent as much as ten
pounds Mt ring time. which did not
make any hit with the fans. and cer-
tainly impaired his popularity and
drawing power somewhat Not that he
did not possess magnetism for tho fans
dollars, for he did. But no would have
been a better drawing card still II no
had played fair all the time. The aver
nge fight fan Is wise to this trick now,
however. and Welsh e,yill have troubis
getting away with 1t. He had better
abandon tho tactics he attempted in
the making Of the Shugrue match here
last week.
Colin Bell in Bad Odor.
II Colin Boil continues to run out
on matches the way he did on Sailor
Fritts' and AL Reich. he will he branded
as false alarm. and q good many
people will be willing to believe Gun
boat Smiths side OF tho story concern
ing an alleged match made in England
while the Gunner was there. Bell has
informed us that a bout was arranged
with the American. and that Smith got
cold feet and refused to appear. The
other day Bell did the very thing he
accused Smith OF doing In England. IIo
offered Doctors certificate saying he
was too Ill from neuritis to go on with
Reich. But this was not announced TO
the public until the men were due In
the ring. Why wasn't the crowd told
sooner? Perhaps this particular kind
OF neuritis was nothing more nor less
than what is commonly termed
"sonse" II the story being told fs
true. Bells career In the ring Is not
going to be an overriding one.
Army Next TO Harvard Eleven.
Nearly every football follower In the
East rates the Harvard eleven Nrst OH
basis OF this years performances.
but there Is considerable dispute over
what team comes second. The Army,
which went through it's fairly heavy
schedule, with victory In every game,
seems Justly entitled to tho runner-up
place. SO far as Eastern teams are con-
cerned. Cornell probably deserves third
place. Washington and Jefferson,
fourth: Dartmouth, NTH. despite Its
early defeat by Princeton Yale.
sixth; Lehigh. seventh Princeton,
eighth; Pittsburgh. ninth; Penn State.
tenth: Rutgers. eleventh.; Syracuse.
twelfth; Union. thirteenth: Penn, four

sixteenth; Navy. Heyenteenth; wes-
leyan, eighteenth: Trinity. nineteenth.
and Brown. twentieth. At least eight
of these colleges had teams away above
the usual calibre OF their representa-
tivca. and several, particularly Penn
were we'll below their average
