CAMP EXPLAINS WHY He
SIGHTED YALE PLAYERS

In recent article written for an
eastern college publication, Walter
Camp, the eastern football authority
who did not place Yale man on this
years All-American eleven, gave the
following explanation for his failure
to honor his alma mater:
"Talbot's misfortune which sent
him to the infrmary with an injured
bone in his leg and kept him there for
two weeks put him out of the running.
Brann, too, had been an invalid dur
ing three-quarters of the season.
mo one was the equal of Legore
at the execution of the forward pass,
and l have never seen man who could
throw such fast and accurate ball
and yet such an easy one to handle
Nor was Legore behind Mahan or
Chez in running back kicks or in run
ming from his own position, but Ma
hans runs from short kick formations
were the strongest of the season, mis-
punting exceptional for accurate plac-
ing. and mis- drop kicking effective.
Chez of Dartmouth and Barrett were
both more natural quarterbacks than
Wilson"

Oshkosh, Wis, Dec. 19.-Eddie Nc
Goorty. whose fistic abilities helped
put Oshkosh on the map, is one Of
those determined individuals who re-
fuse to let the dead past bury its dead
in accordance with accepted custom.
He still dreams of himself as middle
weight champ. and to this end will
meet Mike Gibbons OF st. Paul for a
IO-rcund bout to be held in Hudson,
Wis. on Jan. Is.
McGoorty has every right to claim
the attention of the top-notchers in
the 15S-poUnd circle, this in spite OF
the fact that he has twice been beaten
by Jimmy Clabby. who is now pretty
generally recognized as the country's
foremost middle.
The fact is that Clabby. though he
NAV sport a championship belt, the
gift Of Promoter Coffroth, is not actu-
ally the champion. To acquire cham
piouship Il man must whip a cham
pion, and George Chip wasn't a cham
pion at the time Clabby trimmed him

who has been milling fairly well

milton. Clabby has never beaten
McGoorty decisively. In May. 1913,
the men fought a draw in Denver.
Many argued McGoorty had the shade.
The following month the two met in
Butte. and Clabby got the decision in
u rounds. though McGoorty scored a
knockdown and forced the fighting.
Their last meeting was in Sydney
in July this year. McGoorty lost on
a foul in the eighth round after hold
ing his man even from the first gong.
There wasn't anything in the early
rounds to indicate that Clabby would
have won by big margin had the
bout gone the full 90 rounds. Thus
the result of the first two bouts was
indecisive: the outcome of the third
unfortunate.
Nor is this McGoorty's first at
tack on the Gibbons ramparts. The
two met in New York in 1912. 1t
was a no-decision bout. but all the
experts agreed McGoorty won easily.
The bout had eXtenuating circum-
stances. so TO speak. Gibbons was
i'll three days before the go, and the
chances are he wasn't just right At
any rate he didn't box a typial Glib
bols bout. and the Oshkosh boy won
handily.
Gibbons has made wonderful strides
sine 1912. and is more than likely to
trim MGoorty on points next month.
The bout will serve a two-fold purpose.
II will not only further the elimina-
ton scheme. but will give the ring
sharps some material form on which
TO figure the prospective Gibbons
Clabby go for the championship, for
that battle certainly is the promoters
objective.

WRITES STORY OF
LIFE OF A HORSE
DR.. Paul, Formerly of This City
and Now of Boston, in
New Role.
HOLDS ANIMALS 30 REASON
Gives Many Incidents, Happening II
Rock Island in Which Driving
Horse, Don, Figures.

DR.. Willard A Paul, formerly OF this
city and now of Boston, Mass, has
become an author. Not that this is
anything new for the doctor, who has
been known for years as a writer OF
authority on homeopathy. His latest
effort, however, is in a new field and
he has produced something which is of
particular interest in Rock Island. 1t
is the autobiography of horse named
Don an animal which was bred,
trained and used by the author in his
professional work in Rock Island.
The scenes treated of are partly
those in and about Rock Island and
the story includes the trip of the horse
TO Boston with the doctor and the
later years spent in that city.
The purpose of the book is to show
that animals do have something of
the power of reasoning beyond that
which they are generally credited. To
bear out this the doctor relates many
instances in the life of Don in which
the animal performs feats which can
be accounted for on no other ground
than that he was able to use power
beyond mere instinct.
Values Animal Friends.
In the preface the author says:
There is no man or woman who
would not be better-a better Chris
tian, a better man, better woman,
better father or mother. sister or
brother-by having a close, an init
mate friend among the animals.
Since beginning the writing of the
autobiography of Don, the great con-
troversy has arisen in regard to the
ability of sc-called dumb animals to
use. in a limited degree. that faculty
which we call, in the human, reason.
People Interested in the subject have
ranged themselves on side, one claim
ing that animals do have 20 a greater
or less degree, the power of reason
ing and deducing results from causes,
others claiming that their highest at
tribute is what has been called for
hundreds of years instinct.
Perhaps my personal opinion in the
matter will have very little weight;
and yet | want to put myself on rec
ord. / thoroughly believe. and have
believed for years. that animals have
a far higher psychological standing
than people have been willing to give
them. | believe that in many instanc-
es animals use a high grade of reason
ing power and that they deduce GER
tain results from certain causes. show
ing a connected. consecutive line of
thought and reasoning.
The stories in this book are. every
one, true to the letter. Many Of them.
in fact. all of them, are susceptible
of proof by from one to many wit
nesses.'

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 19.-July has

for the opening race meet at the
new automobile speedway here. Ia

believed the two meets will conflict
although Tacoma's consent to the On

speedway was to have been opened
Thanksgiving day, but the accidental
death of Roy Miner, motorcycllst'
