Wilmington Explains
His Stand on Harvard
Princeton Grid Games

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 1.-Lothrop
wilmington, member of the Harvard
advisory football committee in let
ter to the Harvard Alumni Bulletin
made public today, gives his version
Of what he said at the Princeton
dinner in Boston on the night before
the Harvard Princeton game Of Nov.
II. He asserts that the Bulletin mis-
quoted him and denies that he init
mated that Harvard might give up
football games with Princeton. He
says that In his speech he remarked
that the Harvard Yale Princeton
athletic agreement meant that the
schedule would be cut to five games
and that western Alumni C Harvard
were constantly urging that a game
be played in the middle west and
we cannot fail to give their demands
some consideration"
Following the present arrange
ment." he quotes himself as having
said. princeton would be the third
game on the schedule, and If we
played a game with a western team
it could not well be before the
Princeton game, which would mean
three hard games in a row. and you
can we'll realize that this would not
leave much of anybody to play in the
Yale game 1 tell you this because
these are problems which will con-
front Princeton just as much as they
will Harvard For my own part | am
not only anxious for a Harvard
Princeton game but sincerely hope
it will be continued"
Mr.. Wilmington says that this
question may be strictly accurate.

BOUT A.A.A SHOW; MCGUIRE GETS
TECHNICAL K. 0. over warren

After a whirlwind first round which
drew a great hand from the crowd, the
scheduled double six bout between
Tommy MCGUIRE, formerly of Provi-
dence. r. l., now of Augusta. and Fred
dy Warren of Boston. came to sudden
ard unfortunate end in the second
round when. after some fast and fu-
rious infighting at the ropes. Warren
slipped over the edge of the platform
and suffered a sprained ankle. The
show of Friday night was the second

Association, and that the main bout
boys were well matched and had start
cd on what gave indications of being
q ~Ip-s,a shirg fray was the opinion of
the small crowd. after the doctor had
given his verdict and the fight was
called off.
With the first clang of the gong
these two boys came out of their COR
rers and into the center of the squared
circle like two bcarcats. Without de-
laying things to feel each other out,
they went into one of the fastest ex-
changes OF punches that has ever been
witnessed In City hall in an opening
round. Tommy and the Boston lad
10Th showed all kinds Of stuff, using
both hands furiously in close fighting
sn1 keeping up the terrific pace for the
round. They came out at each other
in the same manner in the second and
the fans Rad edged out to the rim of
their seats for some tall scrapping
when Warren went over the edge of the
ring. He was assisted back and it
was seen that he could not stand on his
right foot. A physician was called to
examine his injury and advised the
crowd that Freddy could not continue
Mcclure sgetting technical K. o. for
the bout.
Johnny Kid Gustin of Gardiner and
the Panama Kid of Waterville stepped
into the ring right on time for the cur
tain raiser. After one minute and IL
seconds Of swapping complimentary
rights and lcfts to the chin. the Pan
anna Kid started his right mitt way out
on Cony hill somewhere, landing square
on the point Of the Gardiner boys jaw
ringing down the curtain for this lad
while Referee Harry Sears pumped his
arm up and down for the count.

rounds, but Roy O'Brien of Rochester,

considerable punishment from Joe Nc

Jo' was formerly of Providence. but

the fans by his showing Friday night.
The crowd was too small for the
class Of show that the A. A. A. had
arranged fer them, there being between
600 and 400 fans in the hall. The main
! bout was headed for one sweet affair.
and this 400 fans will all 60 any time
