HARVARD IS PERTURBED OVER
POSSIBLE DEFEAT AT THE
HANDS OF BROWN ELEVEN
.i
These Teams Have Played Two Tie Games, But
the Providence Gridiron Warriors Never
Have Won a Contest
I COKING over th record of both team, its find that Harvard has not been
J defeated by Drown In tho many years they have beon battllnK on the grid
Iron. However, a Chrli Columbus or eome other famous orator once said,
the worm will turn" and the Urunbnlans are hoping that Chris had tho
proper dope. Back In 1897,- when Dave Fultz, Gammons, nicnarason ana wouy
played In the backfleld, IJrown played a 10 to 10 tie with the Crimson. Seven.
teen years later 1914 to be exact a mediocre team from Providence played
0 to 0 game with Haughton'a subs, barely missing a touchdown by a couplo
of Inches. These are the only brace of scares thrown Into tho Inhabitants of
Cambridge, Mass., so the good citizens have a right to bo perturbed over tho
coming combat a few days henco. Drown expeots to win and Harvard has a
sneaking Idea that perhaps such may be the case. Already Mr. All Dl, tho
famous fixer, has made an appearance, as Coach Percy announces ho will
save Ms varsity men for tho Yalo Knme and will not take a chance on Injuries.
Teroy will use his subs agnlnat Brown and John D. llockefeller will glvo
81,000,000 to some struggling newsboy. Doth John and Percy are noted for
those pleasing little stunts.
Another Defeat Will Be a Sad Blow for Harvard
HAXtVAIlD already has tasted tho bitter cup of defeat and another rovcrso will
mean that the classlo elms on the campus will bo supplanted by wcoplng
willows. If there Is anything the Crimson hates worse than bolng trimmed on
the gridiron, we haven't discovered It The prestige of the cloven must bo
maintained at all costs, and that la the principal rcasbn why Brown will not
tie sent against tho second-etrlng athlotos on Soldiers' Field. The game
will be harder than the Tale fuss and moro honor will go to tho victor. It's a
elnoh that Casey, Horween, Murray and the other backfleld stars wilt put in
sui appearanco before the afternoon Is over, as only tho best In the world can
coxnparo with the speedy backs from Providence.
Pollard, Negro Halfback, Is Sensation of the Year
rl TOBD POliUAnD, Brown appears to have the greatest halfback over devel
oped and r formidable candidate for All-American honors. Six fcot In hclRht,
well proportioned, speedy and elusive as Logore or Eddie Casey, he Is an Ideal
toon for the baokfleld. At end running, line plunging, executing tho criss
cross and delayed pass which form the basis of the Drown attack, he Is almost
without an equal in the East. He does all of theso things so well that ho Is
constant menace, end the othor team cannot toll what he plans to do until
the ploy actually la In motion. Even then thoy Homotlmos rnalto a mtstnko.
AgChst Yale he romped all over the flold and scored a touchdown by out
running every one on the Bluo eleven, and If ho gets looso Saturday tho samo
thing will ocour. The other men behind the Brown lino are not far behind
Pollard In effectiveness, Purdy. Jemall and Hlllhouso having shown all-round
ability In the previous games. All are consistent ground gainers, quick to got
Into the Interference when the other carries tho ball and. Judging from their
performance against Tale, their defensive work is of a high order. Harvard
Will havo to go some to win next Saturday.
Yalc-Prlnceton Battle Hard to Dope Out
"ITTHEN the Tigers faco the ferocious bulldog In Palmer stadium the 40,000 or
Wmoro cash customers will witness one of the hardest fought gamos of tho
year Although nothing Is at stake both elevens having been eliminated in
the race for tho championship Princeton feels It Is about tlmo to como through
with a victory over her ancient rival and Yalo wants to win at least ono moro
Irnme before the season ends'. Speedy Bush's men rule tho favorite, but that
hasbeen the case for several years. Every tlmo tho Tiger has a chanco to win
John W Jinx appears on tho scene and the stuff Is off. Lost year it was lm
o.sblo to figure out how Yale possibly coufd win. but tho Bulldog emerged
with the Tiger's hide In his teeth. Tho year before tho game looked so easy
That llwaV feared the Ya'o men would be slaughtered, yet Old Ell won by tho
ro of 19 to 14 All of which shows that Princeton Is fighting tradition and
the Jinx. Yale has the edge on past performances.
Princeton Has a Stronger Team, But

Bb0V: wn7nraBfrbenV outplayed for three quarters. Then the Blue made a
mTerkbTo showing agamst Brown, losing by tho score of 21 to 0. after leading In
the first half Princeton has showed that she has a heavywolght dofenso, but a
lightweight attack. Between tho two 26-yard lines tho team Is wonderful; but as
cfon m the coal lino stares them In the faco the necessary punch Is lacking and
th. hall Is lost. In other words, the Tigers havo a great mldflold eleven, hut the
driving power becomes lost, strayed or stolen within tho 25-yard line,. Tho
Bulldog can score touchdowns if tho opportunity presents itself, but it all de
pends upon tho opportunity. j
TMSSPITB this dope, however, Princeton is the favorite in the big battle. Sentl
XJ ment Is a wonderful thing, tradition Is more wonderful, but It will take a com
fclnatlon of the two, plus something else, to trounce the Tiger.
Bill Hollenback's Team Meets Colgate Saturday
IB" WORK counted for anything. Syracuse would havo tho greatest team in tho
world this fall. From morning till night, Bill Hollonback has beon tolling with
his gang of mastodons, but as yet no positive results have beon obtnlned.
Against medlcoro elevens, Syracuse runs up enormous scores, but ns soon as a
tough foe Is mot tho team seems to go to pieces. At that, the only bad defeat
was at the hands of Pittsburgh in tho flrat big gamo. Pitt won, 30 to 0, and took
all of the spirit out of the men. It camo back against Michigan, losing by
tho scoro of 14 to 13. and dropped another game to Dartmouth, 16 to 10. On
Saturday, however, tho big contest of the season will be staged with Colgate, and
a victory over this well-coached eleven will wipe out all past performances. The
Colgnto-Byracuse gome Is the feature event In. New York Stato nnd attracts
thousands every year. A crowd of 25,000 Is expected, and Larry Bankarfs team
la the favorite. Whether the gamo Is won or lost, however, BUI Hollenback'a
reputation will not suffer. He has proved that he Is a good coach, a tireless
worker and is bound to get results in another year.
BUI Roper Makes Good at Swarthmore Despite Handicaps
SWAItTHMORB COLLEGE has made another remarkable record on tho grid
Iron this fall, and a great deal of the credit should be given to Bill Roper,
head coach, and his assistant, Dr. Roy Mercor. It is not generally known, but
the Garnet la without a football field this year, and the team has been practicing
on tho front campus, the Held being located on the side of a hill. Despite the
uneven ground and poor facilities, Roper has turnod out a good eleven, which
compares favorably with other small college teams In the East. Tho material Is
nothing to be excited over, but the men have moro fighting spirit and dogged
aggressiveness than any we ever have seen. "Judge" Endlcott, the captain. Is
' one of the best tackles In the country! Fred Donnelly Is an exceptionally good
1 center, and Alva Bush Is good enough to play fullback on any of the big teams.
The last two, however, are out of the gome because of Injuries, and It Is doubtful
U they will be In shape for the annual clash with Haverford on November 25.
This means more work for Roper and Mercer, as substitutes are few and far
between when It comes to All the vacant places.
ALL attendance records are expected to be broken at the Yale-Harvard game a
week from Saturday. The demand for tickets has been so great that ad
ditional seats have been built in the Bowl, bringing the capacity up to 76,000.
With the Army and Navy game on the same day, It might be well to remark
that football seems to be quite popular this fall.
Rather Premature, But Do Your Picking Early
rf a few weeks all of our very best experts will drink the midnight oil and
other things in their frantld efforts io select an All-American team. Just
why they take their Job seriously Is not known, but to them It Is the most im
portant thing In the world. It might- be well to remember, however, that every
one will have a different selection and each will be as Important as the other,
Opinions will vary, especially In the backfleld. Two men now stand out prom
inently Ollphant, of the Army, and Legore. of Yale. These men have done
.wonderful work this year, but how did they do It? Legoro was a wonder
.against all of the early teams, but his name did not figure prominently In the
box score last Saturday against Brown. Ollphant has starred against Lebanon
"Volley, Washington and Lee, Holy Cross, Trinity, VUlanova, Notro Dame and
Maine. Why shouldn't beT The real test comes In the big games against strong
opponents, and to us there 'are many more brilliant performers. How about
Pollard, of Brown, Qllroy, of Qeorgetown, and Hastings, of Pitt?
Difference of Opinion Makes Boxing Popular
AS WIS wefe leaving the Olympla A. A. last night we asked one of the boxing
scribes, who won the bout between Leonard and Dundee. "Leonard had It
Jby a, mile," wa the reply. Before we reached the door another scribe Informed
us that "Dundee won In a walk." As we passed through the pprtalj a third
jtxpert rushed up and explained why he was calling ft a draw. That gave us
tEVe perfectly good decisions to select from, so it Is easy to see that every one
'Mill be jeatlafled. Incidentally, the race to the telegraph wires was very close.
JWW'fwj " w Trujuem ncnip au -worin gums wuea io see. remaps a
faUr battle wll be put on some place, some time, but It will' have 4o be a mighty
SPd one to even tie last night's affair. Benny Leonard proved that he Is one

HOMY CLUB OR GOLF PALACE
WORRIES SUNNYBROOK MEMBR
OF MILLIONAIRES' LINKS CLUl
mffo factions at
X "millionaires' golf course," which has
the finest greens In the Philadelphia dis
trict and Is a very grand links withal, are
eagerly disputing the building of a club
house. Thene faction would set up, according
to members In favor of the scheme, a
simple structure, very comfortable and with
all golf clubhouse conveniences, while the
other faction Is In favor of a clubhouse
that will outdo anything In the district for
Imposing grnnde'V, luxury and expense.
The Utter proposes building a palace far
excelling such luxurious clubs as that of
Benvlow, the Country Club, others of Phil
adelphia's magnificent country club homes.
The strongest faction at Sunnybrook ap
pears to be the one that would have a
simple housing for the members and would
concentrA(e Its resources on the completion
of the finest golf courses In the city.
This faction feels that a dazzling edifice,
such as tho other side advocates, would
concentrate tho llfo of the club on tho
social side hither than on the golf, which
last was tho prime purposo of the club
In the beginning
One faction feels that a homey club to
fulfill all the golf needs of tho organisation
Is the thing essential The other faction

other hand, tho Hebrew Is cool, stendy,

With tho opening gong Dundee rushed
Into tho battle llko a Mexican traveling tho
other way from an American regiment. He
was too anxious, and this gavo Leonnrd nn
opportunity to assume an early lend Whllo
John was missing left hooks nnd wide
rlght-hnnd swings. Benny was countering
with jnbB and right crosses Just bofore

of boxing, Leonard Btcpped In with a short
rlghtihand uppercut to the chin. The
punch travoled but a few inches; It had
a lot of steam, though, and Dundee was
shaken from head to foot. Another telllns
wallop by Leonard In this period was a loft
hook to tho Jaw, which sent Dundee's head
far back.
Dundee ipulled himself together In the
second section lie was a mi more carerui,
yet still anxious to score with vicious
swings He missed several hooks, then set
tled down to Jabbing, both men using the
dependable straight left. When Leonard
bi'gan to outjnb tho Wop, Johnny switched
his attack, Again he began to hook, nnd

Leonard only sllghtfuly a few second be-f

The third period was a great pace-setting
affair. First one, then the other was the
aggressor, each working a left with greased
lightning rapidity. Leonard stood erect,
moving his head slightly from side to side
In an effort to make Dundee miss. Dundee
was In a crouch, bobbing up and down,
leaping Into the nlr with his flying Jab
and working his double hook to tho body,
then to the head like a human hurricane,
Thek Hardest Punch
Dundee scored the hardest punch of the
bout In the fourth frame. It was a wide
right-hand swing on the point of the chin
after ducking a left hook, The compact
of glove and Jaw sent Leonard stnggerlng
half way across the ring, stopping at the
ropes. Johnny rushed Into close quarters,
following up his blow, but Leonard was
himself, He clinched for a second only,
pulled away and then stepped out Into the
center of the ring
While more action never was seen In
four rounds as last night, the remaining
two sessions carried almost as much speed
as the previous periods put together. The
fifth was nip and tuck, neither having any
advantage. Dundee mixed his boxing from
the distance with fighting at close quarters.
Leonard was contented to stay off and box.
Jabbing and right-crossing,
Dundee held the upper hand 'when the
be)l for the last three minutes sounded. He
apparently was anxious to win by a wider
margin, and his anxiety to score with right
handers to the Jaw made many openings
for Benny's left. Leonard continued stick

Men who have been connected with tho

managers, seconds, evon boxers for many

rendered, thanks to that: either Dundee
won, Leonnrd won or a draw. All three
decisions wore on the docket.

Ono other good Bet-to was stnged, thnt be

It wns tho first fracas. Doth are little

months, tried hnrd to mako an Interesting
mix with Dobby Ward, a supposed world-
beater from St. Paul Last Saturday night
ho claimed a foul In a match at Charlerol,
Pa., with Dick Loadman, and last night he
did tho same against Smith. Wo didn't see
tho Charlerol battle, but there was no doubt
that he quit last night. Smith had the
better of tho milling all the way. Harry

rnOVIDENCE, It. I., Nov. 16 An
nouncement bytho Harvard Athletlo As
sociation thnt only second-string men nro
to be used against Drown Snturdny In tho
annual came nt Cnmbrklcn aroused bitter
feeling among tho Brown undergraduntc
body.
Brown's great victory over Vnle's beBt I
team last Saturday and the Brunonlans' i
other flno record mado this fall place tho j
team on a par with any of tho big colleges I
his year and glvo them an eleven which
should not bo held so cheap as tho Harvard
A A Is doing, say The Brown students. i
Whllo Drown has nover beaten Harvard,
no matter how great her team and how
many nubBtltutes Hnrvnrd hns ployed
against them, the Brown followers Insist I
that this Is one of the greatest teams over
turned out from Providence ulnco tho days
of Fultz, Gammon nnd others, nnd thnt
Harvard should play Us best eleven on
Saturday
Haughton's excuse Is said to be to let his
regulars off so as to escnpo possible Injury
today, which would Incapacitate them for
tho Yalo game a week later, but this In
scouted hero Many of tho students think
that Harvard Is actually afraid to send Its
best eleven against Brown, since that Yale
Waterloo a week ago, for should Brown
prove victor It would have a most damag
ing effect upon the Crimson for the Yale
game
To beat Harvard has been the one great
desire at Brown over slnco football rela
tions began between the two colleges, and
this Is the big game of the year to all
lovers of football in Providence.
