Compared with the wonderful exhi-
bition of team play given by the mar
ward eleven Of 1915 against Yale. the
first meeting of these two university
squads would appear almost laughaole
if it could be staged again to-day. That
contest was played at New Haven on
Saturday. November IL, le,o' on q
field measuring 400 by 200 feet, ana
was witnessed by about l,5OO specta-
tors. which included several hundred
women.
The number Of players on a team
was optional with the captain, the
rules simply specifying that from
eleven to fifteen might be played. The
game was divided into three thirty
minute periods, and the only scoring
permitted was a goal following a touch
down. kicked over the goal bar sus-
pended ten feet above the ground from
two uprights. twenty feet apart.
Harvard won BY 4 ~oals to o, the
Crimson scoring two in the first half
hour and one each in the remaining
TWO periods. The ball could be kicked
or carried, caught on the bound or hy
md the runner would be tackled and
thrown as at present.
Havard's cheering contingent CON
sisted of $50 students, who made the
trip from Cambridge to witness the
play. No admission was charged. and
the size Of the crowd and the absence
of gate receipts contrasts sharply with
the fact that very close to 10000 per-
sons paid $4,000 10 see the Harvard
Yale games of 1914 and 1915.

Princeton and Rutgers the
First-Penn Leads in

With forty-seven years Of intercol-

history with the close Of the 1915 sea-
son, it is interesting to 20 back over
the records, tracing the development Of
the game and the progress made by the
big 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 record shows, however, that
Pennsylvania, which did not take up
football until 1878, has played the
greatest number of games, the Quakers
having figured in 1923 contests since
that date. OF these games 303 have been
won, 1O4 lost and 16 tied Yale is Sec
ond. having played 1914 games since
1872, of which 345 have been won, 80
lost and 10 tied. Harvard teams have
participated in 369 games since 1874, Of
which 81 have been won, 48 lost and
10 tied.
Princeton, although the first to play
football has been in fewer games than
either Yale, Harvard or Pennsylvania.
The record shows 367 games played,
3l2 won, Al lost and II tied. Michigan.
which took up the game in 1878, leads
the Middle Western colleges, with PIP

have won 211, lost 81 and tied 9.

BASEBALL NOT DEAD
IN THE BIG NINE
Purdue Professor Explains Sport
Is Merely on Probation.

Lafayette, Ind, Dec. 5.-Professor T..
F. Moran, Purdue's representative at
the Western Conference meeting in
Chicago on Saturday and secretary Of
the Big Nine. in discussing the press
report that the death Knell had been
sounded for baseball as an intescol-
legiate sport in the conference colleges,
stated that the report conveyed the
wrong impression.
According to DR.. Moran, baseball in
the conference colleges is merely on
probation. II the coaches and players
desire TO clean up the sport, there Is
no danger of baseball being abolished.
Under present conditions. the confer
ence schools would be obliged to drop
baseball to protect other intercollegiate
athletics. The resolutions passed at
Saturdays meeting will not affect the
playing schedule for the coming spring,
he said.

ing Continentals in
Snappy Match"

After establishing a lead of 3 goals
70 0. the Continentals barely won out
by a score of TO against the Column
bia Oval team in the first division State
League game at Harlem Oval yesterday
afternoon.
The Southern New York State Cup
holders had all the better of it in the
first period and led by 2 to at half
time. For half an hour honors were
even, when Cooper took pass from
Meyerdirks, on the right wing, and
placed the Continentals in the lead.
Cooper repeated the same play ten min
utes later. Then Puxty, by clever in
dividual work, made it three straight
soon after the restart.
Thereafter, however Columbia Oval
woke up, Pearson scoring from a fierce
mix-up before the Continentals' goal.
Columbia Oval's right wing was re
sponsible for the next tally, Willard
finding the net. The losers strove hard
to equalize, but Vandeweghe and Nc
Williams, the Continental backs, were
impossible for the rest of the game.
The lineup follows:

Personal Touches Here
and There in Boxing
By IGOE

With little prospect of a fight with
Jess Willard for the heavyweight title,
Frank Moran has decided TO devote all
his attention to second meeting with
Jim Coifey. On Wednesday Ike Dor
gan. his manager, will meet Billy Glib
son at Considine's, and a match will in
all likelihood be arranged. II is the
intention of the Garden management TO
have the men meet during the first
week in January. A chance was offered
the men to settle their little argument
during Christmas week, but the fear OF
opposition By Santa Claus has made the
managers Of both men look 10 the first
week i'm January as the best possible
time to continue the Moran-Cohey
sketch.
The one thing that may keep the
men from entering the Garden ring
again is Moran's guarantee. Billy Glb-
son has named $1,000 and maybe So,OOo
as the best inducement. Moran's man
ager holds out for $4,000. The tact
that Moran got almost $4,000 before
prompts him TO demand this little in
crease in the price for his services.
Gibson is sure that the Dublin Giant
is the man who should get the lions
share of the purse, although William Is
carefully trying to hide this fact by
simpIv guaranteeing Moran and gam
bling for Cofrey's end by accepting
percentage of the house from jimmy
Johnston. on Wednesday Gibson VIII

he will come 10 $4,000 is a mystery
