VALE ATHLETICS ARE
 NOT IN BAD SHAPE

While walls are coming from the admirers of Yale university deploring the weak showing of the institution in sports, it might be well to look over the list of the years college cham pionships and see if the Blue is really Iso decadent as generally believed. Here is a. list Of the college champions ships Of the country, as won by the Ivario11s institutfops:
 Harvard Football, soccer, tennis, Ilacrosse,s hockey.
 N e-BasebaI, swimming. golf. shooting.
 Cornell -Cross-country. wrestling, basketball.
 Pennsylvania gymnastics.
 Columbia-Fencing. chess.
 Syracuse-Row
 Princeton-Polo.s This list in one particular, may be questioned. Harvard havings defeat- ed Yale in the deciding baseball game. But owing to the wonderful season of the Yale team, and the fact that a single game mes ms so little in base- ball, the title has been given to Yale on the score of it's absolute superior fty to Harvard on the seasons perfor- nance.
 It will be seen that the Crimson has won but one more championship and that in an unusual sport, lacrosse on the whole, the number of men playing the games. in which the two schools s-won their respective titles will be found about equal Yale, on this showing, is a long way from being de- cadent The fact is that for years Yale far outclassed competitors, and now the schools supporters may be finding it hard to realize that changed methods at other institutions have brought rivals close together.

BOXING NOTES
(By T. S. Andrews. )

Georges Carpen tier, the French champions must have changed his mind abotlt sailing for Aus tralla { af- ter his defeat of Bombardier Wells. flor he has contracted for couple more fights in France which will de- lay his depar ture some time. It was understood from advices received here from abroad that Carpenter had ac- cepted terms from Snowy Baker to visit Australia. at once and take part in two fights for which he was to be guaranteed over $S0,0oe and expenses some coin for fighter who is not a champion outside of his own sphere in Europe. However, he is a. great card over in France and England, but he has refused several good offers to come to the States and meet some real middle weights or light heavy weights Should he fail to go to the Antipodes it will rob Eddie McGoorty Of a chance to cop off a bunch of coin, for the Oshkosh boy would have drawn down close to s10.o0o for his Frenchman. Tn addition to meeting Pat O'Keefe, the French champion is to meet the latest British hope, Bandsman Blake, March 3rd, and some of the sporting men there think the Bandsmah will do much better than did Bombardier Wells. He sure ly cannot do any worse.
 Wa1demar H0lberg, the Danish champion light weight, or rather wei ter weight, Gas he has gone into the 145 pound class) has been cutting quite a dash in Australia the past few months. The Dane has defeated some of the really good light weights and welters. among them Frank Pi- rato of California and Ray Bronson of Indianapolis. He has also had a numher of good fights in England and seems to be, getting better like Bat Nelson, as he goes along. Ho1berg is thinking of coming to America son his way home and if he does he will find plenty of welters to stack up against, as there are some high class boys in that divisicn now.
 Battling Levinsky, after resting for at least two days. after his contest with Bob McAllister, met Porly Flynn of Boston and from all ac- counts handed the Boston man a beating. It is evident that Porky- has gone back or else I<evinsky must be getting good. He is meeting all the them has been able to stop him or even get anything onv him, with the possible exception of McAllister who heat him to the punch every time. Whether Levinsky can give away weight to a man like Gunboat Smith cAaAA ole1sAi1S oW1i ioiHdinS 10 De seen
 The latest news from the coast is to the eefeet that Willie Ritchie the hghtweieiht- champion has met with another mishap and has been obliged to postpone his nght with Tommy Murphy until January 31st in the afternoon. Willie sprained a, tendon in his leg while running on the road This the second time the match has been postponed. Either tHarlerr'' Tommy or Ritehie must be Jonah for it seems hard matter to bring off a. cha nopionship match with Will 1ieSin the 1imeIight. Let up hope they twill get husv January 31st without further mishap.
