it is expected that the three receivers

SAY TIMING WAS WRONG
IN YALE HARVARD CONTEST
Boston Writer Claims First Period Too Short
Official Makes Denial.

Boston, Dec. At now appears, II
Is said, from a careful analysis of the
Harvard-Yale game. that the first
period was five minutes short, owing,
perhaps, to an cratic watch, and that
Harvard was thereby deprived for that
amount of time of favoring wind
which might have helped to bring
about the kicking Of another goal.
While the number of scrimmages or
downs varies somewhat, unless there
is some extraordinary cause, they are
usually approximately the same IN
each of the four periods of a game
A glance at the diagram of the game
of Nov. 10 shows that the first period
had 20 downs, including the kickoff.
The second period had As downs, the
third period 43, and the last period
81.
DIR. Carl S. Williams, the former
University of Pennsylvania football
player, was field judge and timekeep-
er.
The increase from 20 in the first
period to As, 43 and 81 in the last
three periods can be accounted Tor,
experts say, only by a great difference

ANNIVERSARIES
OF RING BATTLES

Tom Paddock, who was champion
of England in the old days when
England was full of good heavy
weights, fought his first battle 72
years ago today. Dec. 4, 1914, beating
Elijah Parsons, a big six-footer. He
then whipped Sam Hurst and Nobby
Clarke, and challenged Bendigo for
the championship in 1850 Although
"Old Bendy'' was then 40 years old,
and Paddock only 26, Bendigo won
after a hard bout in which both were
pretty well mussed up. ~
Paddock kept on fighting, defeating
several good men, and then took the
title by whipping Harry Broome in
1856. Two .cars later Paddock, who
had in the meantime forfeited his
title to the Upton Slasher, tried to
come back against the Slasher's con-
queror, Tom Savers, the remarkable
middleweight who had licked all Of
the best big men of England. The
science of Savers was more than suf-
ficient to overcome Paddock's adj
vantage in bulk. Paddock was blind
ed but would not give in until his
seconds tossed in the spongle. Sayers
soon afterwards fought John Heenan,
the American giant, but the great in
ternational battle ended in general
mix-up without either man having a
decided advantage.

.RESTA, CHAMPION
AUTO RACER, WILL
Be GIVEN $1,000

The champion automobile driver of
the year is Dario Resta. The contest
for points in the A. A. A. champion
ship standing closed with the running
Of the 15O-mile race at the Ascot
Speedway, Los Angeles, on Thanks
giving Day. Resta with his total of
400 points has a lead of $50 points
over Aitken, his nearest rival, and he
will be officially crowned by Chair
man Kennerdel1 of the A. A. Al
Contest Board at dinner scheduled
in Chicago on Feb. 1, under the
auspices of the Chicago Automobile
club.
When it was announced last spring
that the American Automobile asso-
citation, would officially designate the
1916 champion, the Bosch Magnetic
Co. Immediately offered to award a
trophy and $4,000 in cash to the
driver so selected, and $1,000 and
$500 to the drivers ranking second
and third in the final official standing.
The B. F. Goodrich Co. added $4,000
to the purse thus created, to be split
$4,000, $4,000 and $4,000. These Of
fers were accepted on behalf of the
drivers by Chairman Kennerdell, and
Resta will therefore come in for
$1,000 and a trophy in addition to
the titular honor.
John Aitken, who stands second
with 3,440 points, and e. V. Ricken-
bacher, third with 1910, get $4,000
and $4,000 respectively. There were
Ii races which figured in the cham
pionship standings, and the number
of points awarded in each was gov
erned by the length and number and
character of entries.

BROWN TEAM TO
LOSE ONLY 3 OF
THIS YEARS STARS

Providence, Dec. Brown will
lose only five men. from it's football
squad by graduation this spring
Sprague, Wade, Ward, Jimmy Murphy
and Ormsby. Of these Sprague was
the regular centre and Wade a regu-
lar guard. Ward would unquestiona-
bly, have been a regular tackle had
not injuries kept him ont the hos
pital list a greater part of the time.
Jimmy Murphy was substitute quar-
terback and Ormsby substitute end.
With SIS of the squad of 60 first
and second string ben returning,
with three men of absolute varsity
calibre in Shaw, KowaIsky and Cor
don becoming eligible, and with the
usual amount of good material from
the freshman class, the prospects for
1917 should be the brightest in the
history Of the college.
Despite the setback .of Thanksgiv-
ing Day, the season Just closed was
the most successful Brown has ever
experienced. Both the Providence
and Boston alumni have arranged
banquets for the players and at the
first of these to be given on Tuesday
evening in this city gold and silver
footballs will be presented to the
players, the gold to the men who
won their letters and the silver to
the substitutes and second team men.

annex TAKE ELM
CITY CHAMPIONSHIP
BY BEATING GLEES

New Haven, Dec. 4.-The Annex
football championship by triumphing
over their ancient rivals-the Wash
ington Glees-on the Lighthouse Point
gridiron yesterday afternoon. by the
narrow bargin of to 6. The result Of
the contest gives fair indication of the
terrific battle which was waged be-
tween the rival elcvens, and it will go
down into history as the most spec
tacular since the city title contest be-
came an annual fixture. Nearly 5000
spectators flying the colors of their re-
spective favorites, sat through the
contest.
Yesterdays game was a great one to
win, but still a harder one to lose. A
missed goal from touchdown near the
end Of the contest prevented the Glees
from tying the count, after they had
worked their way practically the en-
tire length of the field. Malone, the
husky hneman of the Glees, was called
upon to save his team from defeat,
but responded with a feeble boot that
fell many yards short.
The Annex broke into the scoring
column in the second period when
Flanagan, the husky center, recovered
a tumble in back of the Glees' goal
line and fell in the ball for six points
Zwack booted the ball over the cross
bar for the point that later spelled
victory. Quarterback Krall had taken
it upon himself to punt from behind
his own goal, but fumbled McLough-
Inns pass and the aggressive Annex
center recovered.

PENN. TEAM GETS
PRAISE AT CORNELL

Ithaca, Dec. At is said in Cor
nelPs football circles that the Penn
sylvania eleven, which defeated the
Red team on Thanksgiving Day, was
the best machine encountered by the
local aggregation in the entire season.
AS the result Of that final game,
which hit Cornell harder than any
other occurrence Of the autumn, sup
porters Of the team, who had hoped
that the champions of the East in
1915 would succeed themselves in
that high post in 1916, are inclined
to consider the entire season failure
The outlook for mex, year is consid-
cred bright, however
The general attitude among the
undergraduates concerning the Penn
defeat is expressed by The Cornell
Daily Sun, which says in part:
Nineteen hundred sixteen has
taken it's place with Is other years in
which Cornell has suffered defeat at
the hands of Penn. But the wear
1916 will stand out from among other
years Of Cornell defeat, gaining
prominence, we hope, from it's very
isolation as a defeat, as well as from
the excellence Of the teams which
fought on Franklin Field"

WANTS
RUSH TO RETURN
AS FOOTBALL HEAD

New York: Dec. 4-F'rom rumors
and reports which have been banded
about since the Princeton football
team closed it's season on Nov. IS
with a defeat at the hands Of the
Yale team, a certain doubt has arisen
in some quarters as to whether or
not Coach John SPEEDY Rush VIII
be in charge of the Tigers again next
fall.
However, this much is very certain
and definite. If the matter of Rushs
continuation with the squad is left up
to the study body, Speedy will be
on the job again. Stories to the effect
that Rush might be and probably
would be displaced found their way
into print shortly after the Princeton
season ended. AS soon as these were
brought to the notice Of the under
graduates at the university, vigorous
protests were set up both verbally
and in the columns of the university
publications. Practically all of the
student papers Immediately put them
selves on record as favoring the con-
tinuation, of Rush on the job.
It is freely admitted that Rush has

cts all absolutely new to me. The
first intimation that I had Of the
story was when Mr.. Sullivan, sporting
editor of The Boston Globe, wired me
asking for an explanation. My an
swer to Mr.. Sullivan was that I knew
nothing about it.
Mr.. Williams said furthermore:
II timed that game as all the 9th
ers that I have OBLIGATED in in recent
years. No one questioned the time
then or until now, and I can't under
stand why the point should be raised
now. I notified the two captains and

me-"

Connie Mack Llade
Mistake In Allowing
Bob Shawkey to Go

Connie Mack is a wise old lad, but
even he pulls bone occasionally,
and the tall tutor certainly broke into
the error column when he turned
Robert J. Shawkey over to the
Yankees at the waiver price. Bar
gain Bob" twirled in SO games for the
New Yorks this year, and his record
stood 23 won to 4 lost. The chances
are that Mr. McGillicuddy's expressive
physiognomy wears a look of pain
when he thinks of those figures
Shawkey is 26 years old today, as
he was born on Dec. 4, 1890. He is
Pennsylvania product, and started
professional pitching with Harris
burg in 1911. Connie got his hooks
on him the following spring, but sent
him to Baltimore. Bob remained
with the Orioles untile the middle of
1913, when he was recalled to the
