HAD
 SHORT STAY
 AT LAFAYETTE

The fact that Harry Le Gore, Ya1e's sensational fuIEback, and SpiegeL the speedy and elusive halfback, of Wash ington and Jefferson, were former stu dents at Lafayette is recalling to foot ball followers the large number Of sterling football men who have come from that institution to other univers- itfes to gain name and fame.
 Harry Le Gore spent his first fresh man year at Lafayette College. His fame as an a1l-round athlete had pre- ceded him there from his preparatory school. Mercersburg Academy, and he of course was urged to play on Lafay- ette's team. At that time he intended then change to Princeton, as the lat ter's entrance requirements were more difficult than those of Lafayette.
 In order that he might not be de- barred from playing his full time at Princeton, Ise Gore refused to partfci- pate in athletics at Lafayette, much to the chagrin of the 1atter's football and baseball organizations. Considerable feeling was aroused among the stu- dent body at Lafayette over the mat ter, so much so that in the spring Ie Gore capitulated and became a member of L.afayetteis tennis team, participat- ing with them that spring in tourna- naents against Columbia, New York University, Lehigh, Rutgers and Get- tysburg.
 Is The rule III the 1arge universities IS that a, student who has engaged in
 competitive athletics at one college is debarred from participation in the see-
 ond college to which he goes until he ] has been there full year. and also that each year of athletic activity In the first college shall count against him
 in the second Yale is supposed to
 have this rule.
 Legore, however, played on the freshman football and baseball teams
 at Yale in his first year Of course, l there may be an exception in his case
 because his activity at Lafayette was iconhned to tenniss although it has gen. Eera11y been believed that Yale's rule lapp1ied to any branch of competitive sport.
 Roland of Princeton was quarterbaclS I once at Lafayette. WaEbrfdge, who
 some years ago as haIfback at Cornell defeated Princeton, was an old La
 fayette ha1fbask and captain. Mackey lof Pennsylvania and Oliver of the Esane institution, both captains, learn ed their Football first at Lafayette, as also did Camp, a ha1fback, and Lam
 son. a tackle at Pennsy syltsania.

FREDDY WELSH HAS
 NO KNOCKOUT PUNCH
1By 2. sg Andrews.1

The ten round contest between. Charlie White of Chicago and Light weight Champion Fred Welsh before the Cream City A. e, at the Audito- sy affair, just as most people expected it would be. While Welsh won the shade decision White had every req son to feel proud Of his achievement in almost holding the champion even, while giving away six pounds in weight. The original arrangenent had been for 135 at o'clock. White asked for 1855 at 5 and Welsh 135 at 2. When White found that Welsh would not give way he said he would meet the champion at any weight just to show that he could beat him. The re- suit was that Harry Pollok. manager for Welsh. took White at his word and made it catchweights. 5 Freddy looked to be pretty well trained and still he sealed Al pounds at 3 O. clock while White weighed 1855 The question now is whether Welsh can make 133 at 3 o'clock or ringside. He offered to do 185 at 3 o'clock for 8 return match but Nate Lewis, man. ager for White, said he would not consider that poundage Welsh is not big, but he seems to have gathered considerable flesh about the waist line
 which he finds hard to get off. How ever. he has made the ringside weight before and there Is reason to believe that he can do it again.
 Getting back to the contest it can be said with all sincerity that the champion has improved greatly since last he fought Packey MeFarland in Milwaukee six years ago. He has better style of attack now and Is much more aggressive, besides put ting more steam behind his punches. As a boxer he is a staEs but like most stars of this kind, he does not de- liver a real knockout blow, for the reason that he never throws his full weight with the punch. He had White badly puzzled in the early part of the bout by the swiftness of his move
 ments and that is where he gained enough lead to give him the decision.
 Charlie has Q nasty uppercut when he wants to use 1t and that is what he should have tried on Welsh, as Freddy usually came in with an onen- ing between his gloves White did try it in the fifth and was successful but held back again and did not get under way till the ninth round, when he fought like g. real champion. HSs blows were well timed and straight from the shoulder, landing solid on the mark. Welsh was given some hard wa1lops and several times ap- peared dazed, but he recovered quick Iy and fought back like a tiger. It
 was all White. too, in the tenth and
 the finish set the crowd nowling like mad. Many could see nothing but White, but the sp1endod work of Welsh in the earlier rounds gave him the ehade.
