The annual Thanksgiving cross coun- try race of the Boys’ Club, was held yesterday morning, and proved to be one of the most successful ever held by the members of the organization. Under the capable management of i Director A. A. Pilz the event worked out without a slip or break, and the thirty-one entrants furnished some brilliant speed work. The runners left Andrews crossing at 11 o’clock, and until Main street was reached, it was a case of the con- testants being well bunched. As the finish line loomed up, James Ray with a sudden burst of speed, put a gap between him and the others and won the race by about 10 yards, dur- ing the trick in 15 mintues and 26 seconds, beating the record establish- ed last season by Harry Peters of 17 minutes and 11 3-5 seconds. “Dan’” Maguire the old time bicycle racer, acted as starter and the judges were William McDonald, John Ryan and William Campbell. The offiicals were tendered an automobile through the courtesy of Mr. Maguire The following were the prize win- ners: James Ray, first, time 15 min- utes, 26 seconds; Anthony Gajda, sec- 15 minutes, 33 seconds; William third, 15 minutes, 54 sec- onds; Thure Sandberg, fourth, 16 minutes, 3 3-5 seconds; Richard Sand- burg, fifth, 16 minutes, 51 seconds; Henry Medford, sixth, 16 minutes, 56 seconds; William Puppell, seventh, 58 1-5 seconds; Frank Flosek, eighth, 17 minutes.

BREAKS A RECORD| { JOEROCGO GETS K. 0. Capltal Glty ltahan Is Stowed Away in Final Round H Sammy : Waltz is the featherweight champ of the Nutmeg state. He i proved his right to the title in this city eral A. | nal round of the affair, after one of -the most gruelling battles ever wit- | nessed in this city. The Capitol City Hebrew, landed the finishing wallop a hard right to the jaw after he had toppled the gallant little “Wop” to the floor on three occasions. To the tor in such afrairs i ¥, and Sammy Waltz st day to the featherweight div Connecticut pugilists what Al McCoy Was to the middleweight division Iforced to train himself to a weigat which was an injustice to himself and wagers on him, Jew, Rocco entered the ring in no fit shape to face an opponent whose wil manager had made condition so fa- vorable for. ‘“Joe" did his best under the conditions, and even in the fa of the defeat which he sustained many words of sympathy were heard for him for the gallant effort he had made when things looked ;so dark- The opening rounds of the scrap were very even. Rocco secured a lead in the first round, only to have Sam- my come back and even it up in the second. From the second to the fifth it was a fairly even affair. Then the Hebrew cut loose several healthy wal- lops which found a resting place in vital sections of Joe' anatomy and as a result it looked as if Rocco would succumb there and then to a Kavo. He, however, weathered the storm. From then on to the finish Rocco agreed fact that up to the time of the last round that he had annexed five rounds on points as compared to three for Waltz, and three which were even. It looked particularly bad in the eighth round that the Jew was to be sent to the mat by Rocco, but poor judgement on part of his seconds al- lowed Waltz to stick the round out. The finish of the battle was a thril- ler second to none ever witnessed in this city. Rocco came from his cor- ner apparently as fresh as in the opener. He attempted to mix it with ‘Waltz who backed him into the northwest corner of the ring, and then feinted with a right hook, cross- ing a vivacious crashing blow to Rocco’s jaw. Those in close prox- imity to the ring could immediatel see that the blow was an effective one. Rocco shook from shoulders to his toes, and again tried to mix it with his infuriated opponent. An- other hard left to the jaw sent Rocco to the mat, where he fought valianti to arise finally succeeding at the count of seven. Waltz grasping his precious chance to end the battle lost no time in again sending thee left to the chin, but Joe after gave down for the third time, clamored to his feet only to get Sammy’s power- ful right on the jaw driving him to the floor with his head and shoulders outside the ropes facing the audience. At this juncture Chief Rawlings arose but it was unnecessary for him to in- terfere, for Rocco was out, and he was picked up and dragged to his corner by his friends, and after pre- liminary steps were taken to resuscl- tate him, he was litterly carried from the ring. It was as clean a knock- out as ever witnessed in a local ring. Clifford a Star.

Answer. Damifino. The Crowd. Despite the fact that there has been more or less talk in regard to the stand to bhe taken by trades unions against allowing any of their members to attend the exhibition, over 1,268 persons paid admissions to see the exhibition which is the larg- | est gathering at a local exhibition in some time.

Pennsylvania, battered about by various teams during the season and desperate from adverse criticism be- cause of her poor showing, had risen, like a flash in the second period, swept Cornell off her feet, and took the lead amid the frantic cheering of her faithful followers.

Here is an account of a game written back in 1895, just twenty seasons ago: “The glass arm toy soldiers of this town were fed to the pigs yesterday by the cadaverous Indian grave rob- bers from Omaha. Our flabby, one- lcgged Reubens stood around with gaping eyeballs like a hen on a hot rail. Hickey had more errors than ‘Copin’s Financial School’ and led the rheumatic precession to the morgue. They couldn’t hit a brick wagon with a pickaxe and ran bases like pall bearers at a funeral. The geezers and were so weak they couldn’t lift a glass of beer if it was all foam. Everything was yellow, rocky and whangbasted like stig tossed full of doodlegammon. The Omahogs were bad enough, but the Quincy Brown Sox had their fins sewed up until they couldn’t hold a crazy quilt unless it was tied around their necks. the scare-eyed crocodiles anyhow.” There may have been a few better football players in the East than Tal- man and Nash, of Rutgers, but hardly enough to form a suitable standing army for coast defense. One Reason. Dear Sir: Why don’t Yale and Princeton insist upon a better sched- ule arrangement Wwith Harvard? Haughton's eleven has all the best of it. by meeting Princeton and Yale two weeks apart with an easy game sand- | wiched in to rest up the Tregulars. , Yale has to play two hard games in a row and so does Princeton. This Jeaves Yale worn down for Harvard. 1 think this accounts each vear for i the poor showing Princeton makes against Yale the unutterable showing Yale makes against Harvard. Why doesn’t Yale insist upon a shifting schedule where Harvard meets Yale and Princeton in turn and where the Tiger and the Bulldog every other year get that week’s rest? OBSERVER Yale certainly has no kick. Three rears ago Princeton took the matter of a new schedule arrangement up with Harvard. Haughton readily agreed. But Yale refused to make changes. So if the present schedule arrangement is unfair, Princeton and Harvard are certainly not to blame. The trouble isn’t that Yale doesn’t develop any good football instructors, but that she turns over the best ones to other institutions. i | The so-called Big Elevens no longer have any complaint coming that smaller colleges are unable to furnish | good practice games. 1f things continue the complaint will soon cofme from the smaller colleges over the lack of good pr: tice secured from the Big League of | football.
