BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL KINDS-BOXING

by SeTTllng rev minor arguments
between schools, Turkey day cleaned
up the remnants of the 1915 football
season. One important college game
and a flock of high school contests
ended the bill.
Cornell met the University of Penn
sylvania at Philadelphia and added
another big win, "a to 9. The Quak-
ers, who were not given chance to
win in the passing of the, dope,
played some classy football in the
first half, leading Cornell, 9 to 0.
Clever openfeld running by Barrett
and Shiverick swamped the Penns
during the latter periods.
In West Virginia the w. Va. uni
versity took an easy one from the
w. Va. Wesleyan, 80 to 0. The state
championship was at stake.
On high school fields games were
plentiful. Chicago teams journeyed
to other cities and states, and as
usual the losses were enormous.
Two bright spots in the murky
showings made by city prep teams
came in the games of Evanston acad-
envy and De Paul university
