4 review OF SPORTING EVENTS
Record of the Great College Football Eevens-The Auto Rae
ing Season-Grant Fulton Would Meet Giant Wiliard-17
Day Race Meet in Germany

New York, Dec. with AZ years Of in
tercollegiate football passing into grid
iron history with the close of the 1915
season, it is interesting to go back over
the records, tracing the development Of
the game and the progress made by the
Dig universities and colleges in the pig
skin sport. Princeton and Rutgers were
the pioneer teams on the field both these
institutions having begun play in 1869.
The records show, however, that Penn
sylvania which did not take up football
until 1878 has played the greatest num-
Der of games; the Quakers having fig
ured in 423 contests since that date. Of
these games 1903 have been won; 1oi lost
and Is tied. Yale Is second, having
played 3Si games since 1872 of which S45
have been won; 30 lost and 10 others tied
Harvard teams have participated in 1863
games since 1874 OF which 81 have been
won: As lost and 10 tied.
Princeton, although the first to play
football, has figured in less games than
either Yale, Harvard or Pennsylvania
The Tigers records show 1861 games
played; 312 won; Al lost and II tied. Michi-
gan, which took up the game in 1878,
leads the middle western colleges with ~
games played of which the Wolverines
have won 2l1: lost 50 and tied 9. The rec
ords of the leading colleges with the year
football was first played, total number
of games played, contests won, lost and
tied follow:

Ericsson, meantime. had been searching
like a rocket for Doak. AT Whiskey's
yell, of course, the boy had Strengthened,
with bound, from his fire-starting. He
saw Ericsson coming. As Doak rose the
flaming torch was in his right hand, his
rife, clutched by the barrel, in his left.
He swiftly figured as Ericsson had al
ready figured before him, that he would
never be able to get the repeater pointed
in time. Not to do any good! Still, a
Winchester out of action-it has other
uses. Dropping the flare, Doak gave both
hands to his gun-barrel, swinging the
stock well above his head Ericsson had
absolutely nothing but his naked fists.
He dove ina beautiful long tackle
coming like a thing out of a catapult. He
got Doak. Only, the descending butt of
the Winchester caught him while he was
in the air-an awful smashing thud. The
two of them tumbled over and over on
the ground together; but when they
stopped rolling, Ericsson lay quiet.
Doak leaped to his feet, the rihe-barrel
still clutched in both hands. Up into the
air whired the stock for another smash
