BIG CROP OF CHANGES
IN BALL

ANIZED BALL
Harvard; wrestling, Cornell; lacrosse.
Harvard; tennis. Harvard; gymnas-
tics. Penn; swimming, Yale; water
polo, Princeton; golf, Yale; soccer
football. Harvard; shooting, Yale;
fencing, Columbia; chess. Columbia. AT
least two of the titles are in dispute.
Cornell. though champion of the in
tercollegiate league in basketball in the
season that closed last March. was
beaten by several outside teams, and
Wesleyan, Union and West Point all
claimed the title. In baseball Harvard
beat Yale, but h latter did so much
better during the season as a whole
that it deserves this honor. With the
titles apportioned as in the above list.
however, we find Harvard holding five.
Yale four, Cornell three. Penn two.
Columbia two, Princeton n and Sy-
racuse one. An odd fact is that Dart
mouth, which was strong in nearly
every line, did not and on top in a
single thing.
While talking over the football sea-
son just gone by, certain disputants
hav pointed to scores saying they are
the biggest ever made in the history
letter writer's who want to know about
big scores among big colleges, a few
may be recorded. In 1880, Princeton
beat Lafayette, lao to 0. In 1885. Yale
beat Wesleyan. 100 to 0. In 1884, Yale
beat Dartmouth, 113 to O.. In 1887.
Yale beat Wesleyan, LOG to o. In 1888.
Harvard beat Amherst, 1O2 to o. In
1902 Minnesota beat Grinnell. 1902 to o.
In 1868, Chicago beat Minnesota, 108
to 0. In 1902, Michigan bea Iowa. 107
to o. In 1890, Princeton beat Virginia.
115 t. o. These nine scores. taken at
-- A~o A~ -~@~-l al chou
a total OF 1923 points for winners to
nothing for the losers, or an average
score of 124.73 to 0 per game.
Football players. who claim records
as being iron men," would do we'll to
talk with the ghost of the late Mike
Murphy. who used to train the Penn
sylvania teams. about Harold CASTOR.
he old Penn tackle. who coached the
Quaker scrubs the past fall. In h four
years that CASTOR played for Pennsyl-
vania. time was k out on his
account. and he never visited the water
bucket except once when he had to
wash mud out of his Y Murphy
used to say that he eve had known
of any similar record. OF course good
luck played a part In the making OF
the record. in addition to physical
tOughneSS.
Reports from Berlin tell of great
progress being made by DR.. Alvin c.
Kraenzlein. the American who is coach
ing Germany's candidates for the 1916
Olympic games. Kraenzlein already
has a force Of assistants organized
not so much assistants at actual train
ing as at rounding up aspirants for
honors and getting them to try things
themselves. At the games arranged
by Kraenzlein. in several different cit
les. for April 5. it is expected that sew
eral thousand athletes will compete
altogether. Those who do the best work
will form a senior squad with which
kraenzlein will do most of his adj
vanced work. but as soon as other
"phenoms" spring up in any part of the
country. they will be shifted to the
senior squad for a trial. If a man
shows himself lacking in promise he
will be dismissed from the senior squad
so that K~raenzlein can put more time
on those who do bear promise. He
will aim to keep this squad at a num-
Der Of about $50. Cross country runs
will be features of the tryouts on April
5. The new Berlin stadium. where the
games of 1916 will be held. will be the
scene of the training Of the advanced
squad. and all the living expenses Of
these men will be borne by the German
Imperial Olympic Games commission.
Two imported heavyweight bouts will
feature the boxing card of the next wv
weeks. one in the east and the other on
the Pacific coast. Jess Willard. the
Texas cowpuncher. who put up such a
sorry exhibition against Carl Morris,
and more gently knocked out zone
Round Davis. in two rounds. will clash
with George Rodel. h Boer. a week
from Monday night. in New Haven.
The other white hope scrap is the Cum
boat Smith Arthur Pelkey affair in San
Francisco. New Years day.
There are certain points of note in
regard to both affairs. Willard will
be trying to redeem himself for two
, things when he opposes Rodel-one.
the fact that he was outpointed by Ro-
del in Milwaukee a month ago. and the
other. his miserable work against Nor
ris. The Smith-Pelkey duel will throw
considerable light on what the latter
has ACCOMPLISHED in the last six
months. He has not been in a real
fight since the one In which Luther
McCarty was killed last spring.
