BILLY BULLS FAMOUS KICK
 BEAT PRINCETON IN 1888
Former Played His Since Coached at
 Vale With Success.

While watching Dr. William H. | Bull instruct the Yale football players in the art of kicking at the Yale field practices, perhaps some of the pres ent day college football enthusiasts wonder what Dr. Bull ever did in the line of practicing what he breaches. That's why we feel that it might be in order to dive backward into the past of Yale football and bring to
 notice some of the brilliant work of
 served in the ranks and was p ' ale hero on the gridiron. Surely it was long ago when Billy Bull trotted
 about in football togs and booted the ball over the crsos-bars from distant
 points and won games for dear old
 Yale. Yes, it was way back in 1885,
 when F. G. Peters was captain of the
 team that Billy Bull broke in as a
 football player. Bull was played at
 right halfback and his first big game
 was on November 21, 1885, at New
 Haven against Princeton. Walter
 Camp refereed the game and Prince
 ton beat Yale to 0.
 It was the following year when Bull began to cut considerable ice as a kicker and he went to fullback ur- der Capt. R. N. Corwin in which po- sition he soon became a college foot ballbaH hero and idol of all Yale. On
 November 20, 1886 ,at Cambridge, Yale beat Harvard 29 to 1. On No vember 25 Of the same year, Yale and Princeton played no-score game and in this game it was Bulls playing that saved Princeton from scoring on sev- eral occasions.
 Bull was the sensation of the Yale team in 1887 and on November q, of that year when Yale beat Harvard IT to in New York. Bull featured In the first half Bull kicked a field goal from the 25 yfA'd line and in the second half, after w H. Corbin scored a touchdown, 4Bul1 kicked the goal. w. c. Wurtenberg scored a touchdown in the second half and Bull kicked another goal. This was the year H. Beecher was captain.
 That same year Yale beat Princeton 12 to 0 and Bull kicked the two goals following touchdowns by w. P Graves and w. H. Corbin.
 Yale and Harvard did not meet in 1888, Bulls last year in college, but Bull had a chance to distinguish him self in the game that Yale won from Princeton that year 10 to o. Bull in the first half and one in the second. W. H. Corbin was captain of the team and Bull kicked his first goal that won the game from the 37-yard line On the Yale team in 1888 when Bulls kicking beat Princeton were r. w Wallace, c. o. Gill, w. w Hefel- w. c. Rhodes, A A. Stagg, w. c. Wur- tenberg, W. P. Graves, Lee AIcClung. P. W. Harvey and w. H. Bull
 EvSS since graduating Dr. Bull has taken an active interest in Yale foot ball affairs and season after season has returned to the football squad and taken personal charge of the can didates for kiekers. It is owing to the fine work of Dr. Bull that Yale has been able to make Kicking records.

Ever since Jess Willard put a quietus on Frank Moran, the question: When will Jess Willard fight again in defense of his title?" has repeatedly been ask ed. As yet no definite answer has been forthcoming, either from the Willard quarters direct, and through an in direct source.
 Willard will not fight again during the year 116 A. D. But do not regis ter surprise to read within a few weeks, the announcement that t.& heavyweight cahmpion of this uni verse will defend his title-opponent's s name to be revealed further down in the story-on either Lincolns Birth day, or Washington's Birthday, during the month of February, in the year of 117.
 General belief notwithstanding, Will lard will fight again. The money is too soft for him to cast it aside with mere snap of the fingers. He can earn it too easily by merely smack ing his glove -encased hands against an opponents 1.-the skin.
 He is morally and verbally tied down to circus contract, and must fulfill this obligation before he can talk fight. Jess's popularity is not waning an Iota, and for that reason it=iS not nec- assary for him to stimulate interest in his circus work by keeping in the public eye.
 Willard will complete his circus en- agreements the last day of this month. Then he will be ready-aye, eager to talk fight. Where is there a soft err sum than t1(s s50,000 Willard will receive for confronting the attentuated MT. Fred Fulton in a padded ring? |? Willard need only glare at Fulton in the ring to win. Fulton's presence there would be made possible only by I,sr, 4 take a chance of being hit once by the champion. Jess would require no more than one resounding whack on F'ulton's chin to end proceedings.
 So when Willard returns to the ring, rest assured that Fred Fulton will be in the corner diagonally opposite
 There is no demand for bout be- tween Willard and puny Jack Dillon although the latter did more damage to the estima1le Francois than the champion himself. Jim Coffey is no longer mentioned in the same breath with Willard or with Moran, who also is out of the running.
 Charley Weinerft is being plugged along by some genuinely original ad- vertising by Manager Harry Pollok but the Jerseyite will have to beat few, other contenders to be seriously considered. Gunboat Smith is showing signs of returning life, but he has passed the age limitations of his Test fighting. Tom Cow1er? nay; not after what Dillon and Smith did for him.
 So you. see it can be no other than MT. Fred Fulton, of Rochester, Min nesota. He is even taller than Will lard, but the width of the width of the entire Fulton person is not nearly as wide as the mammoth right arm of the cahmpion. Certainly Willard vii flight again. Whom has he to fear?
 Now reverting to the lightweight dol main, over which Ferddy Welsh so austerely reigns. Will Frederick ever show any consideration for a long suf- fering fight popu1ace?
 Welshs latest is an offer of a finish fight with Charley White. WE- nick on Charley White, Freddy. when there is still Johnny Dundee the Scotch Wop, and Joe Yelling, Chi1

 Baseball has become largely a scheme of pitching and machine meth ods. The grand old free-swinging, quick thinking sluggers are gone. They had their day I suppose, and baseball is undoubtedly advancing. But I sometimes wish most heartily for the return of a few players like the old Orioles.-Ba seball Magazine.

Friday evening John O. Hubbard Jr of Sturtevant street was pleasantly surprised at his home by twenty friends, and in spite of storm a very enjoyable evening was spent. The house was prettily decorated with inn mense bouquets of dahlias which served also for table decorations. Va rious games were played and victrola selections enjoyed until ten o'clock. Then the young people gathered at the daintily set table in the dining room where a delicious supper of sandwiches, cake, cookies and various kinds of fruit was served by Mrs Hubbard, assisted by her daughter Mrs. Charles Buchanan. After supper the guests assembled in the kitchen where an old-fashtoned dance was held. the Virginia reel and square sets being most in prominence. A mock marriage then caused much merriment the participants being appropriately dressed

cago's latest lightweight sensation? It is admitted that Welsh has Whites number and he should stop picking on poor, little, unoffensive Charley White.
 White may leap at the chance of a finish fight with Welsh, as the hard hitting Chicagoan sincerely believes he can "get'' the champion in a fight that is scheduled to last indefinitely until one or the other cries quits" But Charley may rest easy, as Welsh will never grant him the opportuni, to take hi mover the hurdles III an un- limited round fight.
