Interesting Statistics.


THE statistics Mr.. Finlay presents
showing that Yale and Harvard
have broken even in the last IS years
are among the most interesting we have
seen.
1t had also escaped general notice
that in the last 20 years Harvard had
the jump on Yale By to in the mat
ter OF winning games. With Horween's
star list of sophomores back for next
Fall-Wood, Mays, Devens and White
being four of the cast, and with others,
such as Ben Ticknor, on hand-the Blue
doesn't face any soft situation next
Fall, despite the presence of Booth,
VINO VIII give Harvard a lot more to
worry about, if he is in shape, a factor
which lighter man always has to
gamble with. One of the jobs Yale
must face is finding a field general who
can cope with Wood in directing an at
tack, and this won't be any too easy, as
good field generals are always scarcer
than rosebuds In the Arctic Circle.
Both Yale and Harvard will have
better than average material next Fall.
and this again should bring about an
other great game. It might be mem
toned IN this connection that Yale will
run into early trouble next October.

while for a win, thus gaining for
Harvard suggestion of the ascendency
that Walter Camp had established for
Yale in the los and DOS. Still all that
Harvard can claim in the matter is that
during the last 20 years she has en-
joyed a slight edge over Yale. There
was time, not long ago, when Yale
won, believe, four games In a row,
reviving the fear among Harvard men

PENN HAS AN EDGE
IN BASKET LEAGUE
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, January 27-Play in
the Eastern intercollegiate basket ball
so far has been triumph for home
court teams. Eight games have been
played SO far and in every instance the
invaders have been turned back on the
short end of a score.
Penn and Columbia, the leaders, have
benefited most. Penn has won two
games, both on its home floor, and lost
none. Columbia beat Princeton at New
York in its only start. Princeton's two
victories have been recorded on the
Tigers own court and its two defeats
away from home.
No games will be played this week.

Serious RivaIries.
"EVERYBODY knows that student
bodies take these rivalries very
seriously. When I was at Harvard 40
years ago, we took the long series of
defeats from Yale, not only in foot
ball but in other sports also, with
great anguish. I remember writing
articles in the Crimson explaining
them, with the concession that Yale
had better men'-a state Of affairs
that would right itself In time. At this

distance I would put the thing diff
ferently. It is perfectly true that the
stream of students that flows into a
college carries with it a proportion of
outstanding athletes that is by no
means uniform, less and less so the
more outstanding the individuals, just
as not every class contains a future
President of the United States. Still
Yale and Harvard have been general
ly well matched in intelligence and
personnel, drawing both students and
faculty from the same type of people,
even from the same schools. I think it
highly probable that if the men who
played foot ball at Yale had gone to
Harvard, and those who played at
Harvard to Yale, but leaving the 'sys-
tenn at each college the same as it was
during the 70S and 80s, the results
would have been about the same as his
tory declares. The organization Of
groups on a given basis for any pur-
pose is not easily changed, and If one
group Is more efficient than another it
is likely to remain that way for a long
time; the organization that is ahead
learns as fast as one that is behind
and thus stays ahead, and this mo-
mentum' persists frequently after the
man who created it or contributed most
OF it has disappeared. In such a case
it requires usually something of a
genius to set an inferior organization
to learning fast enough to catch up to
and pass the superior one.
While this principle of group mo-
mentum displays itself in sports, it is
tar more pronounced of course, in other
things. For instance, Detroit excels in
producing automobiles and Los Angeles
motion pictures. Who can think of any
good reason why Chicago should not
make automobiles as well as Detroit, or
San Francisco make pictures as well as
Los Angeles-that is, In the general ma
ture OF things. But now that things are
established as they are, who thinks It
at all likely that they will ever do SOP"

PRIMO NOT A Joke,
| DESPITE DEBUT CO
Big italian Must Not Be
Judged on Engagement
With Peterson.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

N Jew YORK, January 81
M Primo Camera has come
Y and gone, temporarily,
taking with him more
than $4,000 of the burghers'
more or less hard-earned lucre
and leaving behind a rift in
opinion as to his future as a
fighter. Primo's 10 seconds in
the ring with the amazingly
fragile Big Boy Peterson afford
ed very little chance to judge of
the giants capabilities. Peter
son was in such a hurry to pass
out that he even hit himself on
the chin while on the floor.
While 1t is hardly logical in any de-
gree to predict that Camera will become
heavyweight champion on what he
showed against Peterson, it is equally
illogical to blast him as a bust.
Some heavyweight champions have
made miserable showings in their New
York premieres. Jeffries was tabled as
large joke when he broke in here.
Willard was another big fellow who
drew ridicule. Also, nobody took Jack
Dempsey very seriously the night John
Lester johnson cracked a couple of his
ribs at the old Commonwealth Club.
Set-up for Camera.
Cameras debut differed in several
respects from the introduction of JEFF
fries, Willard and Dempsey to New
York. Whereas they were given short
money for facing reasonably strong
opposition, Primo was handed a small
fortune for tipping over a soft one.
However, what we are getting at is
that It Is not the part of wisdom to
assert, fatty and with finality, that
Camera never will amount to anything
It is little too early for that sort of
thing.
The sour doughs Of the sock market
will recall that Jeffries was tabled as
big ham by the experts when he
broke into New York at the Lenox Club
on August 5, 1898. JEFF contracted to
box Bob Armstrong and Steve O'Don-
nell In the same ring in 10-round bouts
that night. After struggling through 10
frames with Armstrong and eking out
victory on a decision the California
boilermaker called off the second bout.
alleging he had injured his thumbs on
Armstrong.
The Jeffries of that night was 245-
pound giant Of tremendous strength,
but lacking in speed and boxing skill.
INONAAS az A1ldAly re-
called Bob Fitzsimmons' famous remark
that the bigger they are the harder
they fall"
Fitz Was Wrong.
Fitz himself was in the crowd and
he enjoyed many hearty laugh at the
clumsy movements of the Californian
$50 that's the bloke they think will
take the title away from me-" roared
Ruby Robert to his cronies. "Haw
haw, haw; he's a Joke"
Fitz retained that opinion of Jeffries
until the boilermaker knocked him out
in the eleventh round at Coney Island
less than a year later.
Boxing writer's who saw Jeffries in
training prior to his fight with Fitz
were amazed at the change worked in
the Californian under the handling of
Tommy Ryan.
RYAN trained Jeff down to 210 pounds
OF bone and muscle and taught him
how to throw his left hook out Of a
crouch. The newspaper sleuths car
ried reports of Jeff's improvement to
F1tz. but the Cornishman laughed at
them. He still pictured jeff as the
awkward giant he had seen a year
before.

This play seemed to wreck havoc with the moral of Drake's hench- men and although they fought furiously, they could not regain their previous stride and the game went to the Ponies from this play onward
 The first halt ended with tied score of to ,.
 THIRD QUARTER
 The second half started off with a bang. Both teams, rested, and breathing normally again and with neither team holding the advan- tage, they burst into action in an endeavor to gain the upper hand The ball went to Stewards goal from center and the Ponies missed, losing it to the Wasmuth's end of the field. But Otto Sandbeck, bor- ing in with the tenacity of a bull lock. broke up play after play and the ball went back to seward, where Iron Horse 'glommed' on to it and made good, Otto seemingly all over the court at once, rushed in and sunk another one home for Seward Time was called while Moro" Jack Lloyd came in for the Navy.
 The ball in play again went to Stewards end of the field and Ed win failed in an attempt to tack another score to those for Seward. Ray missed the basket. Iron Horse followed suit and Otto got a try on personal foul which he made good. It looked bad for Ray when Drake, hot after the ball, stumbled over him and they both sat on the ball with Drake on top. Disentangling themselves, the ball went from their jump thru flashing play to Johnson who was not caught mapping and sank one on the fly. Then the ball went to Seward and Ray made one good and Edwin followed suit leaving the score at the end of the third quarter Is to 9 in favor of Seward.
