DARCY SEES MISKE
Australian Praises St. Paul Boxers
Methods In the Ring.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Les Darcy,
Australian champion, saw Billy Miske,
of 81 Paul, hand Knockout Brown, of
Chicago, a neat trimming yesterday
at the Broadway Athletic Club, and
he praised Miske's methods.
He's a good, lively scrapper,"
Darcy admitted. Fast and snappy in
his work, using both hands well, He's
both an in and out fighter. l mean
by that he fights well both at dis.
lance and in the clinches. 1 know
something of the tough job he was
facing in Brown because 1 met him
twice back home"
How about q match between your
self and Miske?" Darcy was asked,
would you like to box him?' "Sure."
he replied. "I'll be ready for anybody
as soon as ] get going. I'd as soon
meet Miske as anybody else"
Aiiske hit Brown with everything
but the water bucket in the last eight
rounds, the Greeks ruggedness alone
keeping the affair from ending sud.
denly.
Possibly the most telling wallop of
the battle was developed in the sixth.
Miske worked Brown against the
ropes and tented him into an open
ing. He crashed over q right swing
to the chin that would have fioored
az OK, but the stolid Greek failed to
drop. However, he did find it neces.
sary to- hold on tenaciously. In.
doubtedIy a repetition of this punch
would have sent him down, and pos,
sibly for the countfi. Miske weighed
1884 pounds and Brown 1851.

PENN. MEN PRAISE
OREGON'S ELEVEN
Declare Coast Players Rank

Football Team.

PASADENA. Cal, Jan. 2.-oregon
University is awarded high honors by
University of Pennsylvania football
players today, following yesterdays
IL to o victory for the Pacific Coast
players.
To say Penn was surprised is put
ting 1t mildly. While the Penn men
feel that they could have done bet
ter had they played during the foot
ball season and not after a 5,000-mile
cross country trip, there are no alibis
today.
The old training axiom that a
coach is lucky to be able to point a
team twice during the season was
borne out yesterday. Penn was not
pointed. and, save for some fine work
In the early part OF the game, failed
to display the same fight and pep that
characterized the Cornell, Michigan,
and Dartmouth battles.
Coast. Team Strong. -
The Oregon team was strong

time came. Penn was equal in rush.
ing strength and on defense, but
lacked the steam to stop the bigger
Coast men.
Oregon had no chance to score in
the first half. and was always on de-
Tense. Three times Penn had the ball

lied. Berry missed two goals from
the field, and Quigley missed another.
Ali three were easy chances.
During the first half Penn had
much the better OF the argument. but
the Quakers were unable to show
power or forward passing ability to
shove the ball across. The soft con-
dition Of the field helped Oregon
somewhat and retarded the Penn
backheld.
Penn Loses Out.
Penn lost out in the second half be-
fore the onslaught Of the Oregon eleven.
Penn fumbled In the third quarter
when the ball was on the 31yard line.
Oregon recovered and began a steady
march down the field to the Penn ao-yard
line when S. Huntington tried and
missed a field goal.
Oregon recovered the ball on an ex-
change Of kicks and began another for

Mitchell got q long forward pass and
was downed on the 10-yard line. The
ball was showed over after two tries.
Tegart making the count.
The touchdown gave Oregon added
strength, and the Coast players began q
great march for another count in the
final quarter which was contaminated in
a touchdown by Parsons, Huntington

lowed up by three line smashes before
the count was made S. Huntington

Players Honored.
Penn players refuse to offer alibis.

one which could cope with any of the
strong Eastern eleYens. Mitchell, s.

Berry. Bell and Miller received a fine
pounding from the Coast team. The
lighter Penn players tackled hercely

by the spectators. Penn was penalized
frequently for holding.

LES DARCY WILLING
Australian Challenges Al Mccoy,
MIddIeweiaht TitIeholder.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Les Darcy,
the Australian pugilist, has decided
to end the squabble over the middle
weight crown that once graced the
head of Stanley Ketchel. The visi-
tor from the Antipodes has issued an
open letter in which he invites Al
Mccoy. he OF one-punch fame, to
come out and fight.
Al, through his mighty right hand
that once connected with the chin of
George Chip, gained the so-called mid.
dleweight championship of the United
it a worlds title and so far as any
one else was concerned It was. Al
has never been considered a real
champion, but he has managed 10
stick right along with the other cham
pions by engaging in ten-round bouts
and evading the deadly punch over
the short distance.
Les realizes the value of a victory
over the smuggling Brooklynite, so he
is going to remove Al. 1t is likely
Al will furnish opposition in the Aus
tralian's first American bout
Darcy has signed a vaudeville con-
tract, but he insists, and so does Tex
RickaTd, that his contract has abso.
lutely nothing to do with fighting.
Mike Donlin is making strenuous
efforts. to bring Darcy and Mccoy
together for one of the carnival OF
four bouts planned for Grant Hugh
Browns arena at Havana. He al
ready has filled McCoy's ear fun al
large and juicy figures, and is on
Darcy's trail. Richard might be. in
duced to permit this first bout in or
der to remove Mccoy, and then stage
a real middleweight title bout in New
York.

In the first round. which was a
feeling out session. with each boxer
wary and watchful Leyinsky slightly

second, Smith landed hard overland

Levinsky rolled his head with the
blow and it did no damage. Smith
fought like a tiger in the second
round and easily took the. honors
After that it was nothing but Levin

WASHINGTON EARNS
|. FIRST 1917 HONORS
Brooke Brewer Annexes Sixty
Yard Junior Title in But
faIo Meet.

Washington today boasts the first
1917 champion in Brooke Brewer, of
Maryland State College. The local
product journeyed to Buffalo. N. Y,
yesterday to take part in the junior
indoor championships, and romped on
with the title in the 60-yard dash.
Brewers running was a revelation
to the 5000 Bison City fans who pack,
ed the auditorium. The youngster
showed Lochnicht, the Buffalo crack,
and Bernie Wefers. jr., thine or two
by negotiating the distance is 80
seconds.
Takes Light Workout.
Just what Brewer will do indoors
this winter and outdoors this spring
can be conjectured when it is con-
sidered that he has done only the
lightest sort, of work since the foot
ball season.
Once or twice during the past two
weeks Brewer has taken workouts at
Georgetown, having obtained permits
sion to use the srretch of fioor in
Healy Hall.
John o'Reilly, Georgetown's physi-
cal director, took a look at Brewer
last Friday, and said he would not
be surprised to see the youngster
walk. OFF with the race. That Brewer
justified O'Reilly's guess is seen by
the time made last night, which is
within two-ffths of a second of
record time.
Does No sprIntlng.
Brewer has done no sprinting since
last year, having played football at
Maryland State last fall. That the
season in no way impaired his sprint
ing ability may be noted from his
performance last night.
/ Brewer gets the title as national in.
door junior champion at sixty yards,
and. gains the first 1917 title for this
city in open competition.

cOUL0N COMES BACK
Once Famous Bantam Beats Joe
Wagner, Another Patriarch.

NEW YORK, Jan. AFTER the
bent form of the departing year had
faded from view yesterday afternoon
there emerged from the mists of pre-,
historic pugilism and into the ring
of the Pioneer Sporting Club the
figure of a man bearing resemblance
to Johnny Coulon, once a prominent
boxer of Chicago, who was by many
recognized as the champion among
the bantamweights.
Stumpy, bald-headed, plump, he
looked the prosperous delicatessen
merchant rather than a boxer. 1t
was CouIon, for he confirmed the sus-
picion by bowling when introduced to
the big crowd. Furthermore, he won
a ten-round bout from Joe Wagner,
a New York bantam, who had been
out of the ring for years. 1t maysbe
a mere coincidence that Coulon picked
as an opponent a man he had beaten
four years ago-a youth who never
had much to commend him save a
wild right-hand swing for the head.
