 to 1.
Especial to Yhe BuIletin1

Plainfeld: Nov. 25.-Before a large crowd of spectators Taftville met a. severe defeat by the Plainfield football team on the Lawton Heights grounds in the battle for The Bulletin cup. The weather was ideal for football. all though a slight wind was blowing. During the first half Plainfield played with the wind behind them and kept the ball down in TaftvilIe's territorv continually. After about 15 minutes Of play. w. Royle got the ball and pass ed to Underwood, who worked the ball up the field and passed to J. Green halgh, who scored the first goal A few minutes later Greenhalgh scored from a serimmage in front of the TaftviIle goal. The Taftville forwards worked the ball up into Plain1eid's territory and obtained a penalty kick McCIue- gage made fine stop of the kick, but Tn doing so fell and DeCelles scored Fspefore he had chance to make the stop. On the nextvplay Platt got the ball and carried 1t through the Taftville backs and made beautiful pass to Potts, who scored. Plainf1eld scored again when Underwood caged the ball on a pass from Platt. This ended the first half with the PlainfieId men outshfn- the game.
 During the second half Plainfield kicked against the wind and with this disadvantage on their part they still kept the ball in the TaftviIle territory
 After about five minutes of play Un- derwood scored for Plainfield from a scrimmage in front of the Taftville goal. Taftville seemed t6 put more life into their playing and on several occa- sions brought the ball down to the Plain, field goal. but were unable to score on account of the work of Mo Cluggage and the Plainfield backs. Plainfield started to pass the ball around the TaftviEle men and Potts scored another goal for Plainfield on a pass from Underwood Soon after Greenhaigh scored the final goal on a dne shot Tn both offensive and de- fensiye work Piainfield showed itself far superior to that Of Taftvii1e.

BELL-ANS Absolutely Removes Indigestion. onepackage proves it, Poe at all druggists
WILLARD HAS EARNED
 APPROXIMATELY $214,ooo.
Since He Wrested the Championship
 Title From Jack Johnson.

It's just a trifile over seven months since Jess Willard became the heavy weight champion. but in that time he has earned approximately s214, 1000 and not one dollar of it via the fight route.
 Willard spent 14O days doing circus stunts. He was guaranteed S1,e00 a day-and he averaged $1,2o0. That made his income from that source to- tai s168.0o0. He got $25,000 for his newspaper writings. and another $20,- OoO or so through his theatrical ven- turc.
 ts214,1 100 in eight monthsI Yes, Oscar, itfsrlrely pays to be a champion. Of EIs income, however, 1t Is said that Willard only got sixty per cent. of the gross-about S13O0O0-the bal ance being divided among his manag- CTS. Tom Jones, chief manager for Willard, recently said that Willard has
 Salted" away a sum close to $100, 900 despite the fact that he paid $33 900 to Harry Frazee and Lawrence webber when he bought out their managerial | interest in him.
 And now Willard plans o go back into the fighting game where S30, 900 purses await him. If he retains his championship as long as his heavy weight predecessors, it looks as if his hopes will be realized-the earning of $500,000 before his pugilistic star sets
 There IS big void in New Work just now-but it can't exactly be call ed an aching one The void has been caused by the sudden exodus of the leading heavyweights.
 Frank Moran is doing theatricals somewhere in the middle west; Jim Coffey is resting up'' in the noun tains; Jack Dillon has fitted back to the west: Charley Weinert Is "vaca- tioning" somewhere and the lesser lights in the heavyweight frmaments are shining in parts distant from Gotham.
 If Willie Ritchie really invades the welterweiRht class it will boom that division because 1t is certain tha; mary other Overweight" lightweights will begin battling in that department
 Jack Britton. Kid Lewis, Jimmy Duffy, Matt Wells, Johnny Griffith and many others who have grown toe bulky to be genuine lightweights prob ably would welcome a chance to enter the welterweight department if they were assured of getting fights. The main reason why those fellows have fingered in the lightweight division is becausa there are few active welter- weights and th..c means but little bus mess for them
 However. If Ritchie joins the well ters. it viz add prestige to that divis- ters. 1t will add prestige to that divi- sion. renew activity and start real demand on the part of the fairs for welterweight bouts.

GREATEST DAY FOR
 HARVARD FOOTBALL
Says Crimson Daily in Regard to De-
 feat Handed to Yale.

Saturday was the greatest day for Harvard football in history. the Har- ward Crimson believes The November day in 1908 when Vic Kennard made has been eclipsed. So has the day when Harvard ran up 20 points on Yale in 1912. So. also. has the day when the previous high score for Har- vard was hung up-S6 to 0. in 1914. The Harvard daily paper stamps the day of Mahan's and Haughton's joint triumpt as the greatest one.
 Haughton, too, believes that last Sat urday was the best day of all. He said so, right after the game when thous- the locker building. Its the happiest day of my life" he shouted. Everyone knows what Eddie Mahan thinks. The vote, then, is unanimous.
 The reasons for the Harvard Grim sons belief are state as follows in the college paper:
 Saturday, the goth of November. 1915, was the greatest day in the his- tory of Harvard football. On that date was recorded Q 4I to victory over Yale-a victory gained by splendid Crimson eleven that showed both im- pregnable defence and an offense that has startled the greatest gridiron critics by its bewildering versatility and its brilliant strategy.
 Y "Forty-one to nothing! In the scor- ing Of those six OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES by Capt. Mahan, one by King and by Harte-Harvard set several records. In the first place, it was the largest mar gin by which Harvard has ever beaten Yaie, the Saturday score lacking only seven points of equalling the record set by Yales AS to victory in 1884. Forty-one to nothing is the most hu- initiating defeat ever suffered by Yale. The first touchdown of the Al to o vic tory scored Harte on his 35-yard run. was the first time Harvard has scored a touchdown on Yale in the Stadium.
 '"The victory, furthermore, completed the last football season to be witnessed by the present senior class as under graduates; and none of 1916. since en- tering college, has seen the university defeated on the gridiron by either Yale or Princeton. During the last four seasons. Harvard has made IA to Yale's Is points in the Series.
 Whoever may be chosen as the sea- sons championship team, the universi- ty is willing to record its cheerful string of victories over, Yale and Princeton under the greatest and most successful coaching system that any Harvard sport has even seen."

eREENEvILuE.RocKvI GAME
 ENDS IN DISPUTE Bill Flemnnins- Takes Team of Field When Referee Made Error.
Especial to The Rulletin. )

Rockville, Nov. 25.lThe Greeneville Athletic club and the Rovers game at Rockville nearly ended in free for all fight here this afternoon and the lively dispute ended with Captain Fleming of the visitors withdrawing his men from the field. owing to se- riolls error by the referee, 1t is claim ed. s.
 The game went along nicely until the last few minutes of the final period when the RoEers rushed the ball over the visitors goal line, but the half back carrying the ball fumbled and Sa- duslSy recovered the ball for Greene vile. The referee declared 1t a touch down for the home team, while it is claimed by the visitors that he should rule it touchback.
 While the argument was going on the spectators rushed onto the field and threatened the Greeneville boys. Captain Fleming would not stand for the cff1ciaPs mistake and the. official refused to change his decision, so con- sequently Bill withdrew. The game was going at a rough pace.
 The Rovers scored field goal in the second quarter from the Greeneville 2O-yard line and in the third period on a perfectly executed forward pass Fleming to Grady, enabled the visitors to score a touchdown.
 - Later in the dressing room the Rovers' manager. it is reported, admit ted that the referee made mistake.

Philadelphia, Nov. 25.-Corneil de- feated the University Of Pennsylvania on Franklin field today and tonight the Ithacanr arc claiming the football |champiouship of the east. The. score, e4 to 9, does not indicate the terrible scare the fighting Quakers gave the undefeated big Red team fight down to : the last period of play. The final quarter opened with Pennsylvania leading. 3 to '. and Cornell fighting desperately to turn the tide of victory in her favor, Captain Barrett leading in the attack.
 Pennsyivania battered about by va rious teams during the season and des- perate from adverse criticism because of her poor showing, had risen like a flash in the second period, swept Cor nell off her feet and taken the lead. Then Cornell showed her champion ship calibre. By a mighty effort she smashed Pennsylvania's great defense and battered her way to victory by scoring two more touchdowns and a Held goal.
 It was Cornell's third straight vic- tory over Pennsylvania and her fourth win over her old rivals in 2S years. Barrett was Cornell's greatest hero ing IS of CofnefPS 24 points. < Cornell had all the better of the playing in the first period. but Penn sylvanta's rejuvenated defense was strong enough to keep the Ithacans from scoring. In the second period Pennsylvania showed most of her bril- liant playing. Cornell made a touch down early in the period by terrific line bucking of her backs, Captain Barrett making the score on a short end run. Pennsylvania secured the ball In Cornell territory on a tumble and was set ba ok 15 yards for holding. Here the Quakers executed complex new formation and gained 40 yards on forward pass. Another forward pass put the ball on Cornells one yard mark and the rest was easy. Later in the period Hawley replaced Right End Hopkins. Pennsylvania managed to get the ball within goal kicking dis tance and Hawley made goal with a 28 yard boot
 fought, with neither team getting any decided advantage. Barrett tried two field goals and failed each time
 Then in the last quarter Cornell opened up and Pennsylvania began to falter. 9 The lthacans hammered the Red. and Blue line and finally Bar rett broke through for a 42-yard run Cornell into the lead, shook Pennsyl- vania's confidence and Cornell soon added another touchdown, largely on an intercepted forward pass Barrett was everywhere over the field, break. ing up plays and killing forward pass es and wounG up by kicking a field goal after three unsuccessful attempts
 Both teams showed good general ship, Cornell excelling. The visitors played hard and mostly straight foot ball, while Pennsylvania made many spectacular plays.
