IRON JAWS NOT
NECESSARILY
PERMANENT

For years Joe Tiplitz and Tim
Droney have boasted that no one
could knock them out, forgetting
that Battling Nelson and AID VOL
CAST and Joe Grimm had talked in
a similar vein.
A couple of nights ago Droney
was stopped by Clonie TAFT. He
was not knocked out, but was a
pitiful spectacle, sagging on the
ropes when the referee stopped
the unequal contest. Tiplitz also
came within an ace OF being
knocked out by A1ex Fart. His
iron jaw is beginning to crack
at last under persistent hammer
ing OF years.
The same thing happens to all
men whose boast is that they
can take it," The pitcher al
ways goes to the well once too
often, but the sad effect lies not
in the single knockout.
An outraged nature always takes
her toll, and the iron men are
usually pitiable objects when their
ring careers are finished.

Butterworth is the scion of the
family that gave Frank Butterworth
to Yale. The latter is the dad Of
the; present tackle, and if the
youngster is only as good in his
billet the next two years as Pa
proved in his, then he'll be Just one
whale at his post.
! Frank Butterworth's father was
General Benjamin ButterwOrth, an
eminent fighting man in the civil
war. Mr.. Francis was every whit as
tough an onion in scrap as his
dad. Data is missing on the ma
terial abilities of the latest Yale
Butterworth, but he should be the

worth pere is needed one might
ask Doggy TFenchard, or Phil
King, of Princeton. Both should
prove very competent witnesses
on the might of ButterWOrth.
Frank was chosen on the ALL
American elevens of 1898 and 1894.
He is. rated as one of the great
fullbacks of all time. Having given
the family tree of the Butterworths
a. pruning, let us turn to young
Mr.. Gill, at end for the Bulldog.
He follows the tradition of fam
lily at New Haven, too. His dad,
Charlie Gill, played on one of the
outstanding of all Yale teams, it
was Pa Corbin's famous eleven of
1888, which scored more than 800
points, without a touchdown or
field goal counted against it.
Amos Alonzo Stage, who won
his seventh conference title recent
ly, was am end on this team. and
Lon, Gill and the inimitaDle Pddge
Heffelfinger were all chosen on the
All-American team of 1889, when
Walter Camp first began to select
these stars on the gridiron.
Oddly enough when Penn jour-
neys to New Haven next season
to play Yale in the bowl, October
II, history will possibly be repeat
ed. For the last time that the
Blue and the Quaker mingled was
i'm 1898, when Penn was defeated
IA to 6. On the Red and Blue
eleven at fuIIbaek was Harry
Thayer. He was chosen on the
AII-American eleven Of 1892, the
second Penn Ipan who wore this
signal honor. The first was Doc
tor Jack Adams, who was chosen
for center i'm 1891.
Now it is more than possible that
when Ted Fairchild is graduated in
June his successor on the end will
be George Thayer, who is corking
goodwingman, too. Unless some
thing earthQuaky occurs, g. Thayer
will be one of the ends who will
play against Yale.
Frank Butterworth played against
the Red and Blue in that contest.
His son is almost certain to be in
the roster when the feud Is renewed
at New Haven. Harry Thayer and
Frank Butterworth will probably be
on hand, When they watch their
limbs Of the family trees in action
many memories or that last contest
thirty-one years ago, will probably
steal back to them.

Good Timing Il
Golf Works
Wonders

It is perfect timing in golf
that works wonders, according
to Sandy Herd, the famous golf
professional. In his "Golfing
Life" Herd made the following
comment:
''As a learner you need not
attempt a full swing for some
time. The swing consists Of
five sections-the quarter, FULL
three-quarter, full swing, when
the club lies horizontallJ over
the shoulders with the toe IF
the head pointing to the ground,
and the downward swing, when
the club descends on the line
by which it assembled. 1t is all
easy with careful practice. Do
not imagine that golf capno.
be played without the full
swing. Everything depends on
the build of player as to the
length of swing; the part Of the
swing that determines the flight
of the ball consists of about
three feet before it is struck and
one foot afterward."

Five of the nine visiting coaches
who saw an unbeaten team of the
East, Pennsylvania, finish its
regulation season with a decision
over Cornell, united today in
rendering unto Caesar things that
are Caesars and to Pennsylvania
the things that are Penn's. They

Stagg declined to be drawn into a
discussion on the relative merits of
eastern and western football. Neither
would he venture an opinion as to
how well Pennsylvania compared
with other teams he had seen.
Dobie and Smith were not so reti
cent, however. They spoke right
out in meeting, as it were, much
after the manner Of Bob Zuppke,
of Illinois. Zupp Witnessed yester-
days proceedings, but could not be
located for an opinion today.

said Dobie, the defeated coach. I'm
many ways, it is greater than Dart

had played this season" @

with Fisher and Roper, added his
lyric tenor to the chorus. Shooting

Pennsylvania did this at all times.

ROper's contribution was equally
WhOlehearted. He said that

weapon that beat Cornell, and

So much for expert opinion on
Pennsylvania 1t amounts almost
to a choral panegyric, but, strange
to relate, it is at direct variance
with the common idea entertained
with the lay mind as result of
Cornell's defeat. The majority
opinion is that Pennsylvania scored
three touchdowns not because Of in
trinsic greatness, but because it got
the breaks.

Study of the returns from six states Of that

approximately seven hunrdde and fifty thou,
sand ballots have been cast for some other
Republican candidate than the President, and
that in two states he was rejected by the
popular decision.
This is the more significant when one notes
the personal weakness Of the opposition and
the organized strength of his support. Con
testing the field against him were Senator

In those Western primaries consistent Re-
publicans naturally favored Mr.. Coolidge,
him to either La Toilette or Johnson. More
over, he had the immense advantage of the
federal machine and the reinforcement of
those special interests that have ETofited by
the tariff and other favors. Yet, within his
own party's ranks, he and the political regime
for which he stands were rebuked with three

states were defeated. This, Of course, will

Of them, in retaliation, undertook to pry into
his former life and his present business

One OF his most outspoken opponents was
NJ. B. Carpenter, a veteran of the Civil War
a successful politician and a member Of the

had a reputation for having a caustic and

One day in the course Of debate the

Don't be throwing that fellow up to me. He

The libelIed party went on the warpath
forthwith. He demanded complete retrac-

sent Carpenter word to be prepared to ac
