urday.
The men appeared in football trousers
and sleeveless Jerseys on account Of the
high temperature. The first team en-
gagged IN long srrimmaga with the
second varsity and scrubs. No tackling
was allowed. The varsity used forward
passes most of the time and then gavo
the ball to the scrubs to try aerial
heaves.
1t is evident that the Red and Blue
expects Swarthmore to open up its at
tack. All of the varsity players are
in good shape. Dieter will be seen at
guard for the first time in two weeks.

GREAT PROGRESS
Gridiron Game Has Advanced
More Rapidly Than Baseball
in Is Years.
COLGATE RULES FAvORITE
Much Wagering in Ithaca on
: Result of Game With Cor
nell-0ther Gossip.

While people talk frequently about
the rapid advance of baseball in the
last twenty-five years little is heard of
the strides made by football in the same
period The progress of the gridiron
game has been even more phenomenal,
however, than that OF baseball.
A startling contrast is presented be-
tween the general aspect of the game
In the fall of 1894 and that of II in
the fall Of 1919. In 1894 IN the entire
land only Yale, Pennsylvania, Princeton
and Harvard possessed formidable
teams.
To-day there are three times that
many in the East alone. disregardins
the scores and scores of strong elevens
in other sections of the country. In
1894 the middle West was just organ
Iing football. Michigan had inaug-
urated the game, it is true, in the late
Ios but other Western colleges did not
begin playing until the early Dos.
One writer in commenting upon the
season of 1894 wrote at great length Of
the development of another strong East
ern team The fact that Cornell had
screwed up its courage sufficiently
TO tackle Harvard. Princeton and Penn
sylvania in the same season was con-
sdered worthy Of unlimited mention.
The Big Red team had played Har-
ward and Penn the year before, but had
suffered unmerciful beatings. In 1894,
however, the Ithacans, although de-
feated In each of the games, showed
fight enough to hold their opponents
well in hand and were able to score on
both Harvard and Princeton. Harvard
won % to IL, while Princeton tri-
umphed IL to 1.
Although the Penn eleven preserved
its goal line against Cornell the Quak-
ers had a harder fight than either
Princeton or Harvard, being able to beat
the Big Red team only to o. This was
the second meeting between Penn and
Cornell in q series which now has be-
come classic for both universities. In
those days however. the Cornell game
was not the Thanksgiving Day attrac-
tion IN Philadelphia Harvard was the
big rival on the Penn schedule and oc-
cupied the most important position
Thanksgiving Day
Penn and Yale Tie.
The play of the season of 1894 left the
championship undecided. both Yale and
Penn being unbeaten. Both teams de-
feated Harvard and Princeton, but did
not meet each other. This was the be-
ginning OF preak DetWeeH rem anu
Yale that has never been mended. 1t
was the beginning of the introduction Of
open play. which was sponsored by Yale
and Princeton.
Penn and, Harvard, however, with
larger student bodies and more hefty
material. couldn't see any sense In
softening the game. This precipitated a
break between the four universities that
has never bean healed so far as Penn ie
concerned. Harvard and Yale restored
relations in 1897, but Princeton did not
make up with the Cambridge institution
until 1911.
Penn played along with Harvard until
1905, after which relations were broken
because of Harvard's unwillingness to
play in Philadelphia. Neither Yale nor
Princeton has scheduled the Red and
Blue since the early nineties.

One on Boston Critics.

After Jimmy Hill, the Australian
featherweight, had boxed a twelve round
draw with Barney Adalr, fairly good
lightweight, Boston critics asserted that
Hill was first class man, and that It
was not surprising he had been lodged
by Benny Leonard. Johnny Dundee and
other crack lightweights.
Since Benny Valger, who is not in the
same class with Leonard. Dundee or
Jackson, stopped &c overrated Hill in
the sixth round the Toston critics have
maintained n dignif:ed silence. The
trouble with Hin is that he came to
America with the reputation of being
featherwelght Darcy. He had done
great things in the ring in Australia,
but never had met a man known to
Americans as being first class.
Il was not surprising that American
promoters did not tumble over each other
10 offer big purses for Hill to meet
Fading American boxers. Hill has been
shown to be decidedly lacking in class
and must take the consequences.
Knockout Bill Brennan who has ex-
pressed a desire for another ring con-
test with Jack Dempsey, and on that
account should be decorated for extreme
valor. Will show his present form to
those who go to Dave Driscoll's Arena
A. c. next Monday night. His opponent
will be Dan O'Dowd, who rejoices in the
title of heavyweight champion of New
England. AS O'Dowd. who Is not re
lated to Mike, wears no medals, the
chances are good that Brennan will pre-
scribe a sleep punch for the New Eng
lander.

CHIP, NOTED BOXER,
TO REAPPEAR HERE
Will Meet Tommy Robson in
Jersey City on Monday
Other Ring Gossip.
BY CHARLES r. MATHIsoN.

George Chip, who won the worlds
middleweight title by knocking out
Frank Klaus, the holder, in the sixth
round on october IL, 1918, and re-
peated the featN for good measure on
honors to Al Mccoy at the Broadway
Sporting Club. Brooklyn, in the first
round, will reappear In the East next
Monday night. He will be the opponent
of Tommy Robson in an eight round
bout at the Arena A. c., Jersey City,
and as both Robson and Chip are COM
bative to the last degree there is small
doubt that the contest between them
will be exciting. Chip will take the
place of Harry Greb, who has an in
jured hand.
The manner in which Chip won the
championship from Klaus was sensa-
tional in the extreme. Klaus had just
returned to his home in Pittsburg after
triumphal European tour, in which
he had made himself the worlds cham
pion by re1 son OF knocking out Georges
Carpenter, then the middleweight cham
pion of Europe, and also stopping Billy
Papke. who following the death of
Stanley Ketchel, had laid claim to the
American title.
consented 10 Title bout.
Klaus stopped the Frenchman in the
nineteenth round June "a, 1912, and
stopped Papke March 5, 1913, both
battles taking place in France. When
Klaus reached Pittsburg he was lionized
and basked in the smiles of the public
When a match was proposed between
Chip and Klaus. the champion conde-
scendingly consented. To his surprise
Chip beat him all the way for five rounds
and Knocked him cold in the sixth Klaus
regarded the knockout as accidental and
asked for another match, which was
granted.
For good measure Chip again stopped
Klaus in the sixth round. The second
defeat relegated Klaus to the pugilistic
discard and Chip blossomed as the king
Of the class. But his reign was short
for on April IA, 1914, the champion
bumped against a fluke punch on the
chin from Al Mccoy and was counted
out. Later on Chip gave a terrific beat
ing to Mccoy and nearly had the new
title holder out two or three times in ter
rounds but failed to stop him.
Chip is not 80 formidable now as he
was five years ago. but Robson will
knew he has been in a battle.
