Smith. Stage and zuppke are on
mission bent Penn is to meet Cali
fornia on New Year day and Smith
wants to see what it is all about. He
has brought with him his captain
ana two other players. Stage and
Zuppke have come from the middle
west to get a line on Penn for their
games with the local institution next
season. The other great minds will
merely act as bystanders, innocent
and otherwise.
Smith. however. came on for a
dual purpose. He happened to be an
all-American fullhack on the unde-
feated Pennsylvania team OF 1904
the members of which have received
g special invitation to be present at
the proceedings. Theirs was the last
undefeated team Pennsylvania has
had and If the present outfit beats

Odds of to 2, however, said that
Pennsylvania would win over Cor
nell for the first time since 1921.
The 1thacans have lost to Rutgers,
Williams and Dartmouth, and, Of
course, Gil Dohie is moaning in his
usual sensational style. He said
today that Cornell did not have one
chance in ten.
But that only went to prove that
GIL likes his side dish of apple.
sauce. Cornell lost much of its
backfield punch with the gradua-
ton of Pfann and Ramsey, but it
has an almost veteran line and it's
slant tackle plays, with Molinet
and Patterson carrying the ball,
is nothing to greet with a carefree
laugh.
The team has been open to ar
gument against passing game
all season., however, and the good
word is that Penn. viii make the
air black with passes. The loss Of
Affeld, Cornell's veteran center may
therefore prove source or defen'
sive embarrassment.
The fact that Pennsylvania has
two excellent tackles in McGinity
and Wilson may hamper Cornell's
running attack no little bit. All
In all, the pre- game tendencies run
toward Penn, tradition playing no
little part in this respect.
In all the meetings between
Penn and Cornell, the IthacaIs
have won exactly six times, to
wit, in 1901, 1918. 1914, 1918, 1922
and 1923. In the four latter sea-

OaWSou BOL 70 America just
about the time that Jack McAuliffe
was finishing up his brilliant ca
reer and had no chance to meet
him.
The Sydney Referee has this to
say about him:
George Dawson won the light
weight championship of Australia
when he defeated Billy (Sandow)
Maber at the Amateur Gymnastic
Club on August IL, 1890, knocking
him out in the eighteenth round.
Dawson began his career at the
early age of eighteen, when in
lS85-he was born in 1867-he
beat Blower" Davis, the champion
Of Charters Towers, for e25 side
bet and the gate, in five rounds.
Many victories followed, and in
turn Dawson, working his way up
the ladder to a match for the
championship, defeated Arthur
Pritchard, Jack Lardner, Costello
Smith, Mick Mccarthy, Ambrose
Taylor 1.-THE Game Chicken) and
Hughie Napier.
Iron Bark Jim Burge proved
snag in the path Of the victorious
youngster, for they fought two
draws, the first battle going thirty
nine rounds and the second fifty
rounds. Burge was a very slow
man, but he won a great many con-
tests because his. opponents wore
themselves out in the vain en-
deavor to batter him down. Daw-
son was determined man, and
when he met Burge the third tins
he succeeded in winning in thirty
one rounds. That was after Gen.
tl4man George had secured the
lightweight championship.
Dawson also beat Dummy Mace,
lightweight Of great ability, in
seventeen rounds. Mace was never
known to speak, although 1t is de-
clared that once he got very close
to articulation. He had injured
his hand during a fight and is said
to have uttered ''de hand" In en-
deavoring to explain why he was
not using that particular member.
Dawson Beaten Only Once.
N AWSON was beaten only
once in his career, Tom
Williams stopped him in
four rounds in Melbourne for a
purse of 1900 and side bet Of
500. A second match was ar
ranged, but Williams, for some

son and went off to England.
Shortly after that Dawson sailed
for America on the old Alameda,
q steamer which carried many Of
our champions Of twenty-five and
thirty years ago across to the
land of Stars and Stripes in
search of fame and glory. Many
Of them did not achieve their am
billions, but a large number, by
their prowess in the ring, were
able to let Americans know that
there was such q place as Aus
tralia and that the country could
breed fighters of the first rank.
The Alameda steamed through
the Golden, Gate on February o,
1892, and It was not long before
Dawson was in action. At the
old California Athletic Club, then
one Of the principal boxing re-
sorts Of the United States, he
knocked out Billy Gallagher in
the forty-second round. The purse
was $1,000. Fancy asking Jack
