HAD A BRILLIANT
 FOOTBALL CAREER
Yale Has Lost a Quartet of Giant
 Linesmen During Last Decade.

The passing of Thomas Lee Shevlin adds another name to the lost of fla nous Yale football linemen who have died in recent years when apparently on the threshold of q business career as promising and brilliant as their Sridiron record just a few years back. Four great Yale scrimma gers who won their "E' in play since 1900 have died within the past decade in F. Gordon Brown, Stiliman, James J. Hogan and Shevltn, all leaving football records that few gridiron stars since the be- ginning of intercollegiate play have equalled and none can sgrpass.
 This quartet of giant linemen play game after game without injury dur ing the entire four years of their un- dergraduate lives, making the mythical All-American eleven with an ease and regularity which left no doubt as to their football ability. Brown and Ho- gan were selected for four consecutive seasons at guard or tackle, while SheVlin made an end position three man two seasons at tackle. 4 glance at the Calibre of players wearing uni forms in these years and the type of game played will add impressiveness
 to these feats.
 In the case of Shevlin it is only
 mate was the famous Rafferty and that when Yale lined up against Princeton these blue jerseyed ends were opposed by the famous Tiger pair, Davis and Henry, while Bowditch was holding down a wing tip position for Harvard about the same time. Play in those l days was faster and harder than now and to see Shevlin sweeping down the | field at close to a ten second gait with his 200 pounds of bone and mus | cle poised for a flying tackle was enough to worry the bravest back who | ever assayed to catch a punt and agoid
 the charging end.

 ASCENT OR DESCENT
PugIists cIamoring for Highest Hon
 ors in Ring.

Although Jack Johnson was the only recognized champion to lose his title during the year drawing to a close there are a number of boxers who ap- pear to be on the verge of ascending or descending the pugidistic ladder during 1916. In the bantam class Johnny Ertle has fought his way to a point where he divides honors with Kid Williams; Johnny Kilbane has several dangerous rivals for his feath- erweight titular crown; among the lightweights Freddie Welsh still holds the championship although Charley White and one or two other candidates for the title are clamoring for a chance to win it from the English boxer. Ted Lewis, Johnny Griffith and Mike Glover appear to be the leading contenders for the welterweight honors while in the middleweight division Young Ahearn, Mike Gibbons, Les Darcy, all claim superiority over Al Mccoy, the nom inal champion. Jack Dillon and Bat tling Lavinsky are the leading con- tenders for the light heavy title, while Jess Willard reigns supreme in the heavyweight class.

New York, Dec. 30.-Apart from the higher quotations registered by spe- Cialties, some of which were subjected to familiar manipulation, tOday's mar Ret manifested no very decided trend in either direction.
