Fight Was One Sided.
Jimmy Clabby's cleverness made his
bout with George Chip a rather one
sided affair Try as he would, the ag-
gressive Chip could not land solid
punch on his adversary, and from the
first to the last round the Indiana man
proved himself a master boxer. 1t was
a triumph of skill over the punch, and
by his victory Clabby placed himself
in the very first row of aspirants for
the middleweight title.
McGOOrty Out of Running.
NcGoorty is no longer a legitimate
middleweight, so that puts him out of
the running for the hOnors. And at
catch weights Clabby OutpOinted him in
Australia several months ago which
indicates that the Oshkosh man has
hit the downward trail anyway. The
most formidable rival of Clabby's for
the title at the present time is Mike
Gibbons.

Jew HAVEN, Conn, Nov. IL
M Despite the keen interest in the
Il Princeton game in the New Jer-
sey college town today, Yale aspirations
are already centered on the Struggle
with Harvard here next Saturday. Hav-
ing cleaned up Harvard this year in
baseball, track and rowing, the Bulldog
now can think Of no greater icy than
clawing the Crimson on the Eridiron.
-Four straight from Harvard" is the
campus slogan. If in four major sports
Harvard can be humbled, the sting Of
the five lean years through which Yale
has gone viii be forgotten. Not in six
years has Yale taken three OF the four
major sport socalled "chamT iOnships'
from Harvard
The. presence Of the veteran Yale
athletic adviser, Walter Camp, at Yale
field daily is an omen which, in many
past years, has not BODIED encourage
ment for Harvard hopes Mr.. Camp has
been behind the eleven as it sails

full, and the strategy which Hinkey is
teaching is close to that of the five or
six eleVens on which Mr.. Camp played.
Jumping Dan" Jones, who twirled Yale
into three championships, and was on
the staI Of the Philadelphia Athletics
when they won their first worlds
championship, said:
THE passing, open game which Yale
IS playing is exactly that in which
Walter Camp shone when he was
Yale halfback. There wasn't any col
lege that could stop Walter when he
reeled of those plays when he was in
college, and I don't believe there is any
that can stop coach Hinkey's adaFta-
ton of them.
Personally. it is the biggest kind of
a relief to me to see these plays back
on the gridiron, enriched by the clever
ness with which Hinl1ey has adapted
them to conditions of today. They look
like winners to me and they have given

who have been privileged to enjoy the
sport for many years. But it had to

Louisiana Has Also Suffered.
Louisiana, by the way, has also suf-

they stopped boxing altogether, then
put the skids under the winter horse

important part in making New Orleans

the contest was played uhder me
RULES of 1879 which were h9 0Stlll-
cation of the association code Ihree
years later the intercollegiate rules
were adopted but an arbitrary addl-
tion was made to the effect that goals
only should count as IN previous sea-
sons. In 1882 the rules were AMENDED
so that two safeties equaled touch
down and a year later the point scor-
ing system, now IN vogue, was llrst
used. Previous to that year 4ale had
won two games, Princeton two and
four were ties. Since 1888 Yale has
won IS games; Princeton eight and
five had ended in tie contests. Dur
ing these comparatively modern years
of the game Yale has scored 31S points
to Princeton $50. This prepondrance
of points in favor of the Blue is due
to the fact that most of Yale's victories
have been double figure ones. In
l6 out of is victories Yale scored
dOrrb1n figures the largest
score being made in 1890 when Prince
ton was crushed 80 to 0. The Tigers
biggest score was made in 1896 when
Yale fell before the Orange and Black
nv a score of "a to 6. A recapitula-
ton of the entire series Of 80 games;
since 1873, therefore, shows that Yale
has 20 games, Princeton 10 and nine
have resulted in ties.

for him among the slow footed fellows
who adOrn the heavyweight division
these days. On the dope he ought to
have a comparatively easy time clean

hopes.
willard Training for Smoke.
Jess Willard has evidently decided
not to fight Sam LangfOrd or any other
heavyW eight, and to devote the future
to preparation for the match with Jack
Johnson. which Jack Curley has gone
ahead to close with the champion.
OF course, Aessrs. Curley. Willard ct
al know their own business best, but
If they would take a tip from me Jess
would do considerable fighting be
tween now and the time set for the pro-
posed match with the big negro.
Willard has height weight, strength
and the punch. But he lacks clever
ness and most of all the necessary ex-
perience and ring generalship to cope
with the veteran Johnson
With proper training and plenty real
fighting Jess may become a great
heavyweight but if he confines his
gymnasium exclusively he will not
make much Roadway.
Experience Makes Champs.
Experience is what makes champions
a title before he went through a grill
ing ring experience. And there is no
reason to regard willard an exception
to the general rule.
There are plenty of second raters
Jess could practice on and at the same
time be gathering much valuable ex-
perience while doing so. By keeping
him idle it seems to me that his back
ers haven't much confidence in the
big fellow in spite of their avowals
to the contrary. Jess is rated as pos
sible candidate for the title not so
much on what he has actually accom-
plished but because his rivals among
the whites are so lacking in class. In
other words he is a mere possibility
He has not vet proved himself of

W. and J's CInim.
W. & J. has beaten Yale It also
whaled a number of the minor us by
a big score. Then it beat the Pitts
burg team which has conquered Car
Isle, Navy and COrnen. In addition TO
this, w. & J. played Harvard and lost,
10 to on a fiuke- W. & j. Outpiayed
Harvard in that game, but luck was
with the Crimson and the Crimson won
out in the last few minutes of play
This claim of W. & J. s, however, Is
contingent upon W. &, J. winning and its
remaining games and Harvard losing
to either Yale or Brown.
The Yale-PrincetOn game in Prince
ton today had no bearing on the champ
iOnship. PrincetOn's winning would
leave Princeton with the 20 to 0 defeat
at the hands of Harvard staring into
its Orange and Black cOuntenance. Yale
still has Harvard to play, and even il
it beats Harvard there's that beating
given to Yale by W. & ]. to hush any
Yale claims.
Dope Is Terribly Upset.
In other years football dope has been
upset in the east, but it never has been
upset as often and as early as this
year. With the big college games sill
to be played, there's not one team
among the big IFS in the east that
have a clean record-nOt one team in
position to make bid for the IN
clOuded hOnOrs.
ChieagO-IllinOfs Game.
That Chicago Illinois battle in Or
bana, Ills, today promised to be a lulu.
On past shOwings the Illinois gang
seemed to have the "edge'-but what's
the edge IN these edgeless days2
Illinois hasn't been beaten and it hasn't
been tied. Chicago hasn't been beaten
but it was tied, 0 to o. in the game with
Wisconsin.
Further than this Illinois has made
a better showing both extensively and
defensively than has Chicago against
the same foes, which made Illinois root
ers confident that their II would be re-
turned the winner in the DAYS battle
But Chicago, which played wObbly foot
ball for about two weeks. has steadied
down again and is in fine shape for the
tracas which promised many thrills for
the western enthusiasts
Victory in South.
In the south there seems to be nothing
else to do but to hand the champion
snip to the great Washington & Lee
IL W. & l. doesn't belong to the
Southern intercollegiate Athletic assoc
cation, but that doesn't alter the fact
that W. & L has the greatest II ever
turned out below the Mason and Dixon
line, and IL that well deseres the title
! Of champion.
". & L has won every one Of seven
games it has played. Not only that but
W. & l. has scored 29S points in its
seven games-the greatest total scored
by any team in the country so far this
season. W & L. has been scored on
but once in its seven games. Ger
tainly this showing of the w & I.
team entities it to all the laurel leaves

.HE footballers OF the east {

HE footbaIIers OF the east are
whirIing into the stretch without
L a single team in position to claim
the undisputed and unclouded champ
ionship, while, in the west, Chicago and
Illinois fought it out in Urbana, Ills,
today with the western championship
hanging in the balance.
I'd to the time the referees whistle
sent the gridiron folks into action this
afternoon, the Army II, alone of all the
big and near big teams in the east, had
been unbeaten and united The Army
had won all its six games, and won
the bulk of them in handy fashion.
However, the Army's schedule this year
was not a hard one. 1t was not pitted
against a real football team outside of
Norte Dame, and the NOtre Dame team
of this year doesn't size up as a first
class II.
So the Army cannot make any serious
claims for the title even if it wins its
remaining games with Maine, SPRING
field and the ever dangerous Navy II.
Harvard's Claims Are Vain.
Some brave but reckless Harvard folks
claims hardly will be recognized.
There's that Is to Is tie with Pennsyl-
vania state. Furthermore, Harvard
isn't going to have a real cinch with
Brown today, and Harvard still has to
grapple with those Yale fellows.
Should Yale beat Harvard and the
Navy beat the Army-both among the
prObabilities-it would gum the foot

do L care Steve because I'm not going

they kept jumping on to me a hole lot
of them at Onct tho there capt kent
