Player Of the Last Decade

NEW YORK, Dec. L-Without
mincing matters, I will say that
I was disappointed in Cornell's
football team as it played against
Pennsylvania yesterday. If the
exhibition it gave in that game is
the best Cornell is capable Of,
then there is nothing for it, to
my way of thinking, but to award
the mythical Eastern title to
Princeton. There was no com.
parison between the Cornell team
I saw yesterday and the one that
Princeton brought up to q point
Of beautiful efficiency for its big
games with Harvard, Yale and
Chicago. III. ,. ...''.. -.
The Tigers were always subtle
and resourceful. the Ithacans never.
The latter has a big punch in its
running attack. but Pfann, at quar-.
terback, either did not care to call
the proper play at the proper time.
or else he didn't have the plays at
his command. . .. 81. ~.
At any rate. Cornell played foot.
ball as the bruiser fights in the ring
and / think it's chances against 3
smart eleven would be about ,is
good as those of bruiser against
q finished boxer. ~. p .
Perhaps, however, Cornell's per-
formance did not indicate it's true
ability. I noted, for example. That
Pfann always had himself In q hole
In his selection Of plays, that he
depended on the running attack to
such an extent that when he called
for pass, the play was obvious.
In fact, the whole Cornell at-
tack was obvious. There was no
assembling OF intention or direc-
tion Of play, and no attemept TO
screen the runner.
At that. I cannot understand why

, willard a Poor Exhibition Man.

- Asst week Jess Willard ap-
: peared in a benefit show at
L ALos Angeles and some OF the
writer's present stated that he ap-
peAred slow.
Who ever heard Of Willard ap-
pearing as Paul Swan? He never
was a nifty dancer. Willard is
more after the fashion Of Frank
Moran, slow, strong, game, steady.
His manager is dead in earnest
about q go with Dempsey. Some
may disagree with the writer, but
who has better chance than Jess? |?
Dempsey has met and defeated
a bunch of men, but he never licked
q gamer one than Willard, and he
knows it.
Some of his opponents were too
small, some Of them were allowed
to make a showing, and some of
them quit cold. Willard is the only
one who came back after an un-
merciful mauling and made a stand.
It's true he, only fought the third
round at Toledo, but II he hadn't
been pounded 50 hard in the first
spasm that day we'd have seen a
fight that they'd be talking about
yet,
If willard would only 20 out and
lick one or two others before he
meets Dempsey we'd be stronger
for him.
They all want Dempsey. If they
don't get the title they DO get q

Think Of the sponge that wipes

wipes out his mouth, wipes his body
and his face, and often sheds water
into the eyes Of the boy.
Isn't it possible that the boxer
might contract some disease with

Hunter Has Not Paid
 Olur Salary During Fight
 -DecLares Judge Conaley

eff the council of Stratford had been composed of wise men, the whole controversy could have been avoided by calling the discharge of R. H. Hunter as Town manager, an emergency measure stated Judge William H .Comley, IT,. when he ap- peared before Judge Isaac Wolfe in Superior court this morning to argue a motion for the dissolution of the injunction obtained against Hunter by the Town council week ago.
 "The injunction matter should have been the other way round" stated ComIey, after giving his opin- ion of the council with Robert Fur ney, president of that body, occu- pying the spectators bench without company with the matter in Iiti- gation and Hunter in office. it was the council through Walter Hubbell, appointed manager April 10, that caused all the disorder and strong arm methods. The injunction should have been granted to Hunter rather than the council"
 Judge EdwardK. Nicholson, newly appointed council for the Town of Stratford was present, to argue against the dissolution of the injunc- ticn which was desired that Hunter might not further interfere with the performan nee of the duties of the Town manager appointed by the council and to compel Hunter to turn over to Hub-1

bell all town records, papers, vouch- CTS, safe combinations. etc. Nicholson admitted after argued by Comley, that the para graph alleging large expendi- lures of money and collection illegal ly of his own salary by Hunter, were not to the point. This was after Com ley had stated that neither allegation was true.
 Hunter made no large expendi- lures of money as charged. He merely put through funds to meet the weekly pay roll and rountine expenses of the Town. He absolutely has not caused to be paid to himself any salary since the controversy was started. The re- cords now in possession of Hubben will show this to be the case" stated Comley. Nicholson did not dissent from this assertion.
 With an early decision from Judge Wolfe on the motion argued today to dissolve the injunction, and judg- nnent on the quo warranto matter brought against Hunter by Selectman Frank Conine, the memorandum of last week being merely on the demur- CT, it is anticipated that the way will be clear for an appeal by Hunter to reach the Supreme court by June Otherwise the matter would have to hang fire until October. Stratfordites on both sides of the argument. believe it a good matter to carry to Supreme court for final settlement; for the good of the Town.
