In Scoring List

The record made by the George
town>University quint this season is
the best accomplished by any pre-
vious representative five in the his
tory of that institution. They
played total of fourteen contests
and copped in thirteen of them.
They were only defeated by Yale
at New Haven. and in this game the
ELS were unbeatable. They finished
the season by playing four games
away from home and were only de-
feated by Yale.
Without doubt the Hilltoppers had
one of the fastest and greatest scor-
fng machines in the South Atlantic
section. 1t is to be regretted that
they did not play Navy, Virginia.
Washington and Lee and several
other quints in the South. Playing
any of the quints in the South on a
neutral court. the Blue and Gray
five should have been competent
enough to win.
Ever since the advent of Coach
John O'Reilly at the hilltop. the in
stitutlon has been represented by a
championship quint.
Freddy Fees was the bright and
shining light on the quint. This lad
played in every contest and scored
a total of sixty-one field goals and
123 one-pointers from the fifteen
foot mark The scores follow:

Deceit of Mccoy
Helped Him Land
Fight from Ryan

Kid Mccoy ran away from home
as a youngster TO become a prize
fighter. Mccoy enrolled under Fitz
as humblest type of scholar. When
Mccoy finished his culinary chores,
he often engaded in a friendly set
with the great Fitz.
Ultimately he became FULL
fledgej sparring partner in the
Cornishman's camp. Feeling that
he had learned enough from Bob,
the youngster quit his job and
sought new fields of endeavor
Mccoy drifted into the camp of
Tommy Ryan, then the best middle
weight in the world, barring only
Fitzsimmons himself. Mccoy served
as a sparring partner to Ryan. serv-
ing him faithfully and yet at the
same time deceitfulIy. His deceit
lay IN the fact that he needn't have
taken one beating from Ryan had
he cared not TO. With Ryan, Mccoy
never revealed his true boxing skill
Finally, when McCoy had thorough
ly studied the Ryan technique and
knew every move in the Ryan rep
ertoire, he quit him as he did Fitz-
simmons.
Mccoy sought some influential
friends and then he penned the fol-
loving note:
Dear Tommy:
I've worked up this match for US
so that we could both scrape in n
little easy money. OF course you
recall how We used to box together
and you also know as we'll as l do
what you can do to me if you care
to. Tommy will you grant me a
couple of favors just for old times
sake? Don't make a mess out of
me in this little affair. And can't
you arrange IL so that the losers
end of the purse will be a little
larger" I'm pretty hard up you
know.
Your old sparring partner.
KID MCCOY.
Ryan read the note. Then he
laughed outright. Like a wise
fighter he had been training as
rival of McCoy's intelligence. After
that he abandoned further ideas
about training and sent Mccoy the
news that he had increased the
losers end from 25 per cent to S5
per cent of the purse. Ryan prob
ably didn't give a further thought
to the fight" until the night of
March 2,'1S96. when he crawled
through the ropes at Maspeth,
L. I.
Tommy was hog fat" and when
, he gazed toward Mccoy and noticed
the Kids superb condition trace
of doubt wandered through his keen
mind. When the bell rang Mccoy
went at the unsuspecting Ryan like
Java panther at a horse with blind
staggers. Ryan was amazed at the
marvellous display of skill and
punching power of Mccoy who had
never displayed anything of the sort
when training with him. The Kid
hammered him relentlessly and Ryan
whispered to him in the clinches to
remember the agreement"
But Mccoy never let up on Tommy
and at last the Syracusan realized
/ that he had been outwitted by his
former sparring mate. Ryan fought
desperately, but the agile Kid had
a checkmate for his every move.
Finally Ryan dazed. bleeding. humil-
lated and exhausted was knocked out
! in the fifteenth round.
