meet will be the biggest it has ever
attempted. "A date has been selected

Crowd Helps Referee
Count Over
Fighter

One of the funniest incidents
ever pulled at boxing show
occurred last night in Baltimore
during the emi-final at the
Gayety Theater. Young Fitz-
simmons, of Philadelphia,
very short and stocky bantam
weight, substituted for Reddy
Tender against Hank Dundee,
local boxer, and, although out
classed, put up a game fight
until the last round, when he
had difficulty weathering the
storm.
Soon after the bell started
the round, Fitzsimmons went
down for a rest and took a
count of nine. Shortly after
ward he went down again for
nine, and he was down two
more times for the full respite
before the bout ended. The last
two times he went to the floor
the crowd took up the count
with the referee, and roared
out the numerals in sing-song
manner. Then it gave Fitz-
simmons a hand for his pluck
in sticking out the fight.

There is much to be said IN
favor of Cornell, 'O4." Last
season the Dobie eleven met Col
gate, Dartmouth and Pennsyl-
vania, finding none exacting. This
year Williams was added to the
list with rather a flourish, as
though the western Massachusetts,
team meant something. Such a
schedule really isn't much Of a
test for a team in these days.
Allowing for the difference in
class between Cornell and George
town, the Hilltoppers have far
harder task before them. Meet
ing Princeton, Georgia Tech,
Marines, Third Corps, Bucknell
and Boston College all in one
season. We do not consider Cor
nell's 1923 schedule a patch on
that.
Cornell battles for rank among
such teams as Syracuse, West
Virginia, Pittsburgh, Yale, Har-
ward, Princeton, Dartmouth and
w. and j., to mention the East.
West Virginia plays Pittsburgh,
Penn State, Rutgers, Washington
and Lee and Washington and JEFF
ferson. Syracuse tackles Pitts
burgh, Penn State, Colgate and
Nebraska.
w. and j. battles Brown, Car
negie Tech, Detroit, Lafayette,
Pittsburgh and West Virginia.
Pittsburgh meets Bucknell, La
fayette, West Virginia, Syracuse,
Carnegie Tech, Pennsylvania, w.
and j. and Penn State, a most
heroic series.
Yale, compared today with
Cornell, has played Georgia,
Bucknell, Brown, West Point
Maryland and Princeton on sue
cessive Saturdays. On those same
days Dobie's highly-touted eleven
was meeting Susquehanna, Will
Jams, Colgate, Dartmouth, Co
lumbia and Johns Hopkins. Really
it is a contrast rather than q
comparison.
Cornell, '04," does seem tc
have considerable heft to his ar.
gument and, unless Cornell
strengthens its schedule, the
Ithacans are not likely to b
given the credit some are claim
ing for them.
