Raimondo, Quarterback,
Reports at Columbia

A. F. Raimondo, quarterback on last
years Columbia eleven, reported on
South Field yesterday in uniform for
the first time. Second Lieutenant
Jimmy Cleveland, individual star of the
1916 team, also came in from Camp
Upton on a twenty-four-hour leave and
took part in the practice.
Raimondo had been regarded as lost
through the draft, but it now appears
that he is not likely to be called until
spring. Coach Metcalf apparently hopes
10 use this latest veteran recruit as one
of the halfbacks.

|JEER LES DARCY
 IN PHILADELPHIA; CALL HIM STACKER

Philadelphia, Jan. 19-Philade1- phia boxing fans last night gave the cold shoulder to Les Darcy, the much heralded and much criticised Aus tralian middleweight, who attempted to gather a few kopecks by appearing in an exhibition at the Olympia last night. It could not be accurately learned on what arrangement Darcy was staging his little show, but if it were on a percentage basis he was not very heavily laden with lucre when he left the arena. The crowd that turned out was hardly large enough to pay for the. lights. .4t
 Darcy was ased if he had any ob- jection to Immediately signing up to box. He answered. None" He also said he would not refuse $15,- 900 to box Jeff Smith.
 After leaving the building a crowd of boys gathered around Darcy and followed him to his hotel. All sorts of queries and taunts were hurled at the Australian. One yonngster made bold enough. to yell, You're 8 cheese champion, you big slack er!"

Signing up Fulton for two bouts plated forty-round battle between Fred and Frank Moran in Cuba. It was originally intended to hold the Fulton-Mor fight the middle of next month, but Browne, who was the promoter, decided to pass it up, for while at least.
 If it is, in the cards that Browne is unable to hold the bouts it won't mean any loss to Fulton, as far as finances are concerned. As soon as he signed articles he received $1 ,000 on account. Frederick will receive $1,000 weekly on account until the affairs are staged.
 Under this pleasing method he will not lose his time if a. blowout" oc- CUTS, for the worst he can do is to rage in 5000 without slipping on a glove. This weekly payment of $1,- 900 was inserted into the contract by Browne as evidence of good faith.
 There is no doubt that the two op- ponents selected for Fulton will grasp the opportunity of boxing the West ern giant. Weinert is desirous of wiping out the odium of the Miske defeat, even if it is necessary to fight a tougher rival. Coffey has been aching to return to the ring, and if fortunate enough to make a good showing with Fulton the Roscommon Giant would regain a lot of his old prestige.

Harry Gilmore Fought
 Myer 29 Years Ago

It was 29 years ago to-day that Harry Gilmore and Billy Myer pulled off their famous bout in North Julson, III. They had fought before in a Wis consin village, and Myer, the young Illinois carpenter, had knocked out the clever Canadian veteran. Gill more was anxious for revenge, and Myer was willing to give him a chance, so they met in a room over saloon in the Illinois town. The weather was bitterly cold, and fight CTS and spectators were almost frozen before the fight commenced.
 In the first round Myer assumed the aggressive, but the Canadian display ed great cleverness in eluding his wallops. That is, he did for about a minute and a half About that time had elapsed when Myer, who had been using his left, got his famous old right into action. Biff!-it landed squarely on Gilmore's jaw, and he toppled like a log and was dragged to his corner. It was in this same village about year later that Myer fought his famous 64round draw with Jack McAuliffe, but one of the hands of the latter was injured early in the bout. Jack later whipped Myer.

HARVARD STARTS
 EARLY To DEFEAT ]:
 YALE IN FOOTBALL

Harvard is leaving nothing un0ons to the end that the Eli goal posts may be decorated with crimson fire on November 25, next Winter .prac- uce has been prescribed for all grid iron candidates who can find time to undertake 1t, says Lawrence Perry in the New York Post Seven men re- ported at the baseball cage Wednes- day and spent an hour passing a, ball to and fro under direction of Nal Logan. concluding their exercise with Sprfnts over the tanbark.
 When the idea was first promuIgat- cd some of the football men made vio- lent objection and the practice now is purely voluntary, whatever it might have been had the players not raised their voices against the proposed grind. Captain Wheeler and Clark, who are out for the track team : Flower, Coolidge and Flynn, and two freshmen comprised the first days squad.
 The men disported themselves in their shirt sleeves, and did not ap- pear overworked at the end of the hour. Whether the original seven will grow to respectable proportions or not remains to be seen. Percy Haughton has urged all of the play CTS to go out for some of the other teams, naming wrestling as one of the best.
 There are large number of play CTS. however, who have not had any physical exercise since the Yale game in November, and the hour from 2 to in the baseball cage is reserved for any of those who wish to Timber up their muscles.
