Captain Gallagher Is holding down one

Captain Harper, of tho Episcopal Acad

In shape for the first meet of the season
jilth the Combined Preparatory Schools

Academy gymnasium on February 8.
MORE MONEY NEEDED
FOR PENN'S FOOTBALL
Trips to Michigan and Pitts
burgh Create Demand for
Larger Funds
Last fall the Penn Football Committee
overstepped Its allowance, which had
been cut down after the 1914 season, and
at the present time Manager Loyett and
Captain Mathews are working on a plan
to cut the expense. With two trips to
Michigan and Pittsburgh, however, It is
likely that more money will be needed.
If the season Is a success, Penn can well
afford to lay out a larger sum for the
football team, as this is tho Athletic As
soclatlon'a greatest source of revenue,
and the amount taken in depends entirely
upon the success of the team.
The present freshmen class contains un
usual track material, particularly for the
distance runs, which have been the weak-,
est point in the Penn teams since George
Orton has been coach. Orton was a
famous long-distance runner and has de-.
veloped several distance stars, and it was
surprising tlat he failed to get many
Dolnts In the mile and two mile. McIIale,
the former Central High star, should .be
one of the best mllera in the country ln
another year, while Belts, md Daly, two
toilers, ftn5 Pre, balf-mller, are, shov
las sjrtat form.
WHEN
SOCCER TITLE
FOR QUAKERS'
SECOND ELEVEN
Red and Blue Wins Second
Division Cricket Club
League Championship
TIE IN FIRST DIVISION
By defeating Merlon second at Haver
ford on Saturday the University of Penn
sylvania second soccer cloven nosed out
Haverford Collego second for the cham
pionship of the second dlvlsvcn of tho
Cricket Club League by tho same margin
that the Haverford varsity eleven beat
out tho Red and Blue varsity In the In
tercollegiate League. Some consolation,
at nny rate.
With only Merlon second between them
and the title, tho' Pcnn youngsters went
into the game confident of winning out.
They piled up a lead of Ave goals to one
in the first half and played safe In the
Becond, winning, 6-1. Byrne and Monte
negro, the latter a Brazilian, who substi
tuted on the varsity. In the final game
with Haverford College, covered them
selves with glory. Between them they
scored four of the six goals, but each
Bcored early In the game, when the counts
had more of a psychological effect on the
Penn players than had they been tallied
later. Tho league season ended with
Penn leading at H points, five games
won, ono lost and four drawn. Haver
ford College second Is next, with 13 points,
followed by Philadelphia second, Moores
town second. Merlon second and German
town second, In the order named,
Moorestown's draw with Philadelphia In
the first division forced three teams Into
a tie for first place. These aro Merlon
White, Merlon Maroon and Moorestowii.
Merion White has completed Its schedule
and the Maroons and Moorestown are
scheduled to meet In the final and de
ciding game on the first Saturday In Feb
ruary, although the match may be played
next Saturday,
The Wanderers received a severe Jolt
when Falls came out on top of Saturday'
Allied League, first division, game by a
score of two goals to one. The amateur
cup holdera fully expected to win, and
victory would have placed them In third
place. As It Is, the Wanderers are now
seventh, and unless a winning streak de
velops will hardly figure In the end. Put
nam still leads, with a point advantage
over Falls. St. Nathaniel. Dlsston F. C.
and Cardlngton are tied for third place,
Puritan Y, M. L. Is next and Wanderers
and Viscose follow.
About the only safe prediction anent
soccer winners U one to the effect that
the Veteran A. A. will win the second
division Allied League championship. The
Veterans outclass the remaining clubs in
that division, and appear1 to bo as fast as
many in the first. Their lead in the stand
ings is now 7 points, and It would be ex
ceedingly hard for this to be overcome at
this late date.
The five leaders In the United League
retained the same relative positions. Vln
come leads Shamrock and Bristol by a
point, and these two clubs are 2 points
above FeUoiryiUe and North Philadelphia
Y. M. A. In this organization a hot raoe
is being run. and without doubt the title
will not be clinched until the final games.

WELSH AT OLYMPIA TONIGHT
Manayunk Boxer Confident He Will Defeat
Lightweight Champion Johnny Kilbane
Makes Good Showing at National.
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
PIIEDDY WELSH, tho champion light
weight no-declslon boxer of tho world,
will be ninong us tonight when ho clashes
with Kddlo McAndrews at tho Olympla.
Tho tltleholder ngrccd to meet tho Mnna
oUnk athlete In n short bout after turn
ing down nn offer to box 15'rounds with
hint nt Frank O'Hrlen'B club nt Norrls
town. All of which shows that Freddy
li nnxioufl to fight, but not at nil eager
to work too hard fbr his money. Also,
hi probably feared that nn accident might
happen In n. long-distance fuss.
Tonight's battle should bo an Interest
ing one. Welsh's showing this year nnd
his 19 110-deelslon bouts Inst year nro not
Inipiesslvp, nnd the Humorous aspirants
for tho lightweight crown do not fear
him. They know that lie li not a fero
cious battler and h traveling around on
his reputation to gnther In as much soft
money as posslblo before ho gets too old
ti hold up his hands. Thoy nlso aro
aware Hint tho only way to win tho light
weight tltlo Is to hnng n haymaker on
Freddy's chin In n short bout nnd keep
him on tho iloor for 10 seconds or more.
They nro niiNlous to put over that win
ning wallop.
Freddy Never Gets Rough
The boxing public knows this, nnd for
that reason It turns out In huge Hocks
every tlmo Welsh Is on tho card, to seo
tho champion get a good lacing nnd per
haps bo put away before tho battle Is
over. Thero would bo several cases of
heart fnlluro In tho audience If Freddy
should so far forget himself as to become
real rough nnd knock somebody out.
nddlo McAndrons will mako a good
showing ngulnst Welih tonight nnd will
go Into the ring with the Intention of
winning. He Is n willing boxer, enn hit
with either hand nnd has gained nil kinds
of confidence In his battles with Ad Wol
gnst nnd Wllllo Ultchle. Kddlo heat Wol
gast and won tho llrst bout with Illtchlc.
hut lost tho second after six very fast
rounds. Both of theso men nro better
sK-round lighters than the champion, so
McAndrews Is not losing nny sleep over
what Is likely to happen to him tonight.
The other bouts on tlio card look good
and tho ciowd will be treated with some
lenl boxing during the evening.
Kilbane a Real Champion
Johnnv Kilbano showed that ho is n
ical champion In his bout with Frnnklo
Conlfry at thn Natlonnl Saturday night.
For six rounds tho fonthcrwelght boss
forced tho lighting, rushed his opponent
nil ocr tho ring nnd tried his best to
inako nn Interesting bnttlc out of a one
sided affair. Johnny did all of thb
lending nnd tried every trick ho know to
get Conlfroy to light Just a little bit, but
fulled dismally. Frnnklo wns thero to
stay six rounds and ho did it.
It takes two to tnako a. good fight and
Coiilfry failed to hold up his end. In
tho first llvo rounds he landed exactly
six clean blown nnd In tho final session
w.is too busy covering up to think about
indicting any damage Here Is nn exam
ple of how hard ho fought: Kilbano en
tered tho ring with a piece of court plas
ter over his left cyo, and tho plaster
was still thero when tho battlo was over.
It's all right for a champion to stall
through six rounds, but for a boy llko
Conlfry to try tho samo stunt is tho
worst thing that possibly could happen.
Hj killed himsolf with tho Philadelphia
fans Saturday night, and tho chances nro
that ho will not bo seen hero again for
some tlmo to come. On the other hand.

Introducing "Llltlo Willie"
Wllllo Median, a stripling weighing
somo SOS pounds nnd built like a loose sack
of Hour, was tho real hit o tho evening.
Ho battled with Lew Fink for" threo
rounds, nnd nt tho end wo wondered who
had tho nervo to call him "Willie." Mr.
Median does not fight In tho ladylike
manner thnt his namo would Indicate. In
stead, ho tenrs right In nnd gives a cor
rect Impersonation of a freight train run
ning on n wildcat schedule. He la fast,
keeps nftrr his man all of tho tlmo and
shoots his left Into the Btomach of his op

as Lew link discovered In tho third

fuss to save Willie's opponent from a

Jean Constance, of France, made his
debut with Stanley Hlnklp In tho third
bout, nnd, although beaten by tho 16cal
boxer, made a good li prcsslon. Jean Is a
tough boy, a willing mixer nnd Is not
nfrald to fight. Ho kept nftc Illnklo nil

lots of punishment. After a llltlo more
experiences In tho six-round gnmo, Con
stance should bo a dangerous opponent
