KNOCKOUT BROWN
BEATS Bob MONA

New York, Dec. 6-Knockout
Brown, the Chicago heavyweight,
who has boxed Les Darcy of Australia
on two occasions and given a good
account of himself in each instance,
earned the honors last night over Bob
Moha, the Milwaukee light-heavy-
weight, in a ten-round bout at the
Broadway Sporting Club of Brooklyn.
It was the Chicago boxers first ap-
pearance in Brooklyn ring, and his
aggressive style Of boxing made IA
vorable impression. The contest,
however, produced nothing of an I'M
usual nature, for throughout both
men threw whatever they knew of the
scientific points of the game to the
winds and went in to slug. On one
occasion Moha did stand off and jab
deftly as his adversary came tearing
at him, hut the men usually persisted
in slugging.
Brown earned the honors on his
aggressiveness and cleaner hitting
ability. He carried the fighting
throughout up to the tenth session
and landed effectively on his oppon-
ent's stomach and face with solid
right and left hand smashes. Moha
did not show to advantage in any
round but the tenth, and then he cut
loose and won the honors of the
round.

COACH HAUGHT0M
HAS fine RECORD
IN HARVARD CAMP

New Haven, Dec. Elm the nine
years that Percy Haughton has had
his fling in Harvard football, the
teams which he has coached have
scored against 81 opponents, 1.S7E
points, while the opposition has count
ed up to FOG points.
Brickley, the Great, was Harvard's
greatest scoring asset In this time
Mahan was another star point getter,
while the plunging halfback, Percy
Wendell, also did much to add to the
Harvard point total.
Harvard has played Yale nine times,
five of the games she won, two were
scoreless ties, and two were defeats.
The Crimson tolled up 119 points, an
even 100 more than the Ellis were able
to count.
Since Haughton stepped into the
breach nine years ago, his teams have
won "A games out Of 81. Yale has
won twice, SO, 6-3; Cornell, Carlisle,
Princeton, Tufts and Brown have each
one victory.

CARRIGAN SPEAKS
AS IF He WOULD
RETURN TO GAME

Lewiston, Me-, Dec. 6.-After spend
ing almost a full day in the company
Of Bill Carrigan at his home here, T.
H. Murnane is convinced that he will
consent to manage the Boston Red
Sox for at least one more season, and
feels sure that this statement will be
hailed with delight by every well
wisher Of the champions.
The securing of Carrigan will be
wholly up to the new club owners,
Messrs. Frazee and Ward, who have
gone on record as saying that they
will do everything in their power to
induce this great manager to lend a
helping hand to keep the Red Sox the
same old fighting machine.
Bill Carrigan's friends in Lewiston
have advised him to stick to the Red
Sox for few more years, for they
figure that he can settle down in the
old home town later on. Perhaps the
Lewiston fans are a bit selfish and
feel the great success that Manager
Bill has met with has been a good ad-
vertisement for their thriving city.
Els there a chance that you would
listen to the new owners to return ?''
Carrigan was asked.
They might work on my sympathy
to help them out for a year." replied
Carrigan, 'but that would be the limit.
as I really want to retire to a home
life. I do not care to see the old club
suffer, however" :,
He was asked: "Then you will be
with us in the spring."
Bill smiled and said: II don't think
I will"

FOOTBALL SEASON
IN NEW HAVEN WAS
FINANCIAL FAILURE

New Haven, Dec. 6.-Despite the
fact that nearly 5000 people paid their
way into the recent Annex-Glee con-
test for the city football champion
ship, the present season will go down
into history as one of the 1eanest
financial years since the game became
an annua. fixture here. The total re-
Tceipts Of the game according to the
figures given out Immediately after
the contest, were $2,757, which Is far
below that Of former years. Each
team split $1,223.50 after expenses had
been deducted.
| Manager Coden Of the Glee club
team last night stated that the early
season games failed to draw the ex-
pected good crowds AS result, the
Glees were in financial difficulties up
to the time of the Annex game. The
Glees hope to pay a few more games
if the weather holds out SO that the
players may CLEAN enough money to
make the season worth while To date
the Glee club stars will get hardly
more than 500 apiece.

OVERTIME BATTLE
WON. BY RIBBONS
PLEASING TO FANS
(By Wagner

n The paying guests liked the game
between the. Blue Ribbon and Dan
bury teams so we'll last night that
they yelled for the basketball huskies
to do lit all over again. So they had
to play five minutes overtime. The
encore was greatly relished by the
fans who damned Colonial hall to
the window stills. AS sethe Ribbons
pulled out victory in the. overtime
period by 80 to 20 and took first
place from Danbury. the audience
conceded the evening was a success.
At a late hour Jack Speideps mad
musicians were still giving the popu-
lar songs a strong play while the
dancers shook their feet in glee.
i The teams were so evenly matched
that at no time during the game was
there more than four or five points
difference. The score was frequently
tied and it stood 13 to. 13 at the close
of the first half. The Ribbons went
ahead at the beginning of the second
session but the Hatters made a
strong finish and near the. close of
the half were ahead by 20 to 27.
Then with only Is seconds to play
Stretch Harvey brought the rooters
off their chairs by tossing a goal
which tied matters again The
whistle blew then SO after a brief
rest the players went at it again.. The
Ribbons had all the better of the
overtime, Harvey getting basket
and Swenson shooting a foul
The contest was the most exciting
seen here in years. Norman was the
star for the visitors. He worked
hard every minute but was SO closely
guarded by Murray that he didn't
shoot as many goals as usual. Never
-theless he managed to make one SEN
sational long shot and had a perfect
average in foul shooting by getting
10 out of the same number of

GIANTS TRYING TO
GET ART SHAFER
TO DON SPANGLES

New York, Dec. 6-John J. McGraw.
manager of the New York Giants is
once more angling for Arthur Shafer
and trying to persuade him to return
to baseball. Shafer. according to a
friend in far-of California, is still
hanging back, but shows signs Of be-
| ing afflicted by the call Of the game.
lilly Shafer, as he was known when
he played third base and shortstop for
McGraw's team a couple of years ago,
was one of the. most brilliant infielders
in the game. He also was fine hit
ter and one of the fastest men in
! baseball. He gave up the game to
go into the automobile business in
California
McGrawq admitted, yesterday, that
he had been in communication with
Shafer and that he hoped for the
best. He said that he needed MIN as
utility man.
"One of the reasons why Shafer
quit baseball, said McGraw, twas
that he complained that he did not
like to play every day. I think that
she would, make a wonderful utility
man and would materially strengthen
my club. I have written him and
hope to persuade him to return to the
game"
MeGraw decided to make an out
fielder of Shafer in 1913. but this in
i directly brought about his retirement.
He played that position in fifteen
games, but got the idea that he was
driving his old college mate, Fred
Snodgrass, out of a job.
He felt so strongly about it that he
packed his bag and started for home,
finally being headed off at the sta
ton. He then replaced Herzog at
third base.
This was one Of the causes which
later led to Herzog's insistence that
he be traded to Cincinnati, where he
went as manager. This trade was
made while McGraw was out Of the
country At the opening Of the fol-
lowing season S1lafer announced his
retirement from baseball and left the
Giants without dependable third
saseman.

NOT HAUGHTON'S FAULT.

1t has been discovered that it is not
Head Coach Haughton who has block
ed all efforts to have Harvard mum Der
the football players. Haughton was
generally given credit for opposing
the idea and he never denied 1t. A
New York writer declares, however.
that Reggie Brown, the Harvard scout,
is the man behind the opposition.
Brown is an old time football ex-
pert who attends the games played by
Harvards rivals and observes their
style of play. He then reports to the
Crimson coaches and tells them how
to plan defense for the enemy's at
tack. Brown is said to have remark
cd that when players are numbered
he can gain more knowledge Of their
formations in one afternoon than he
could in three days if the men were
not numbered. Therefore, he thinks
scouts Of other colleges would have
an easier time watching Harvard If
thef Crimson used numbers.

was substituted had carried the bell
to within pegging distance. The Ellis
did not intend to let Harvard make
this a yearly occurrence, for the fol-
lowing fall, Yale won in the Stadium
8 to o. the peerless Ted Coy, kicking
two smart field goals, which with
safety when Corbett was thrown be-
hind his own goal line gave Yale her
points.
Two scoreless ties followed and then
Harvard started a streak Of wins The
first was 20 to 0 at New Haven, Bob
Storer scoring the first touchdown,
and Charley Brickley gave the Grim
son a Is to win in the Stadium in
1913: the christening of the Bowl with
Harvard doing the baptism act to the
score Of &c to followed, and then
came Eddie Mahan's high water mark
score of Al to o. This year the worm
turned and Yale won hard fought
to battle.
This fall Harvard lost three of it's
ten games. One season both Prince
ton and Carlisle did the trick. The
other two setbacks were scored in diff
ferent years.
Whether Haughton'S absence this
fall during the first six weeks of prac-
tice had anything to do with the
musty season. only the big chief him
self knows, and he says that it did
not and that he intends to attend to
his same little football job at Har-
ward.
Brown, although she won her first
game with Harvard this year, has
been able to score several times. The
only two points made against the
Crimson in Haughton's first year was
a safety which yielded the Bruins
their count. Another season but five
points were made against the Stadium
combination. Dartmouth did the trick
Last fall Harvard's opponents made
their biggest total, IS points. Har-
wards largest score in any one season
was made the past fail and in 1914, a
total of 1877 points each year.

If the magnates of the Inter-Stat@
Basketball league wish to increase the
popularity of their contests they Will
get together and make some rules to
eliminate the present wholesale call

change the rules or instruct the ref

and not penalize a player unless there
is q fragrant violation which interferes
with a man making goal. Anyone
who attends the contests at Colonial
hall can realize that the people who
support the game do not like play
