NEW Oct only the narrowest margins, did the "Bif" teams of the east uphold their colors on the gridiron this afternoon. Of the chesty 'Big three" Harvard alone' hung up a score of any proportion. The crimson, eleven defeated Carolina, 21 to 0, a team which Princeton downed a week ago, by a larger count.

At Princeton the Timers met and iefeated Tufts, the powerful Boston team which put a nick in Harvard. But Old Nassau squeezed through only in the last two mlnutea of play, through a phenomenal drop kick by Dave Tibbott. Tibbott booted oval squarely between the Tufts' goal poats from the 45-yard line for the three points of the game Just be- the final whistle. Tale gave out advance notice that fears Lehigh and the latter team proved it had a right to respect when It held the Blue eleven to a score of IS to 0. Yale was never in any reai danger of being scored but In view of her showing against Virginia, YalB might have been expected to scora at least one more touchdown.

Big Game. The most important of the eastern games was the Tufts-Princeton. Th9 Tigers played the best game of the two but that wasn't much. Later in the'game, the Tigers'forced the ball past the BO yard mark and held it there during the last quarter. Then Tibbott kicked his goal.

Early in the contest, Princeton a fumbling was atrocious and Tufts gummed up Its own plays T.hs Boston eleven was tearing at Princeton with a wide open formation moat of the time, throwing a mass the Tigers' only occasionally. These open formations, which! ed well at Cambridge, were simply ripped to shreds by because Tufts was not starting them right; Then Tufts quit the oo-callcd trick playa and got down to brass tacks and a few attempts at forward passes. Princeton tried smashing, driving attacks that at times swept the visiting eleven off its Tufts always braced when there wan a real occasion for it and Princeton's superior punting kept the ball In the middle of the field. At one -time Princeton.biicljfield.nieTi Tumbled "tlireo punts in succession and the half was recovered by Tufts. Made Great Kick.

Tibbott's kick was one to Charlie Brlckley turn grfieii -with envy. Ho booted It from the line It sailed like a bullet tight the cross bur, about three feet to the good.

"The most disconcerting thing about Darcy, from a foeman's Is that the oftener he IE hit the harder he fights. Usually, when a man Is walloped by another two or three times, he begins to back up.

Which they ore. Shrieks of pain, anguish and distress will resound in the land just as soon us the time comes for the signing of the 1917 contracts? The players will make these noises.

The -only ones the magnates will exude will be: "Sign them papers, drat or-go back to your job of'truck boys who oecome used to J5.000. tfi.OOO, J7.000. J8.000.

Garry a Hint. G. Herrmann, a Clnclhnnati gent, "tipped" the mitt of the magnates some time ago. He murmured that players in the future who get more than $3,000 or so must be very good baseballers Indeed. Just ordinary diamond athletes who pronged their bosses for from J3.600 to J6.000 when the Feds were alive and kicking will be fortunate if they can shake down their masters for $1,800 to $2.400.

More than 75 wartime agreements expired this year; each club owner has cut looirc from at least four; some six or seven. The big bulk of the contracts, it be remembered, were made, before the playing season of 1914 began. Because the Feds were signing up the Jumping boys for three years the "faithful" ones Insisted upon a similar courtesy from the organised folks. "The payrolls of major league ball clubc 1n 1J17 will be on an tf: 45 per cent smaller than In 1914. 1915 nnd 1918" one magnate said.

But those magnates will find ,1 way-to avsld not merely the granting of that Robert has been taking note of the stories of fabulous purses offered for a championship battle between tha famous Les Darcy and Mike Gibbons, and the difficulties attached thereto in bringing the rivals together, so the gorrilla shaped battler from the Badger state has decided to horn into the proceedings and try to gather some of the golden harvest that will accompany an encounter with the Australian sensation. By way of opening his campaign for a match with Darcy, Moha rises to remark that he would like to know wherein and how it, has come to pass that his championship claims have been ignored and the pretensions of Gibbons to the title have hecn generally accepted by ring followers everywhere. That is an honor. Moha says, which belongs to himself only by right of conquest and succession. According Moha, he can trace his claim legitimately back to one eventful evening i in June, 1911 when in the arena of a Boston club he accomplished, by dint of twelve strenuous rounds of battling, a victory over Billy Papke who at that time, had some substantial basis to Wis right to the middleweight championship.

Ever since then, eo Moha declares, he has -always been ready and willing to defend his championship but he, never had the opportunity because ha was gradually shoved aside and loolced hy more progressive weights. His own indifference and a lengthy affair that he had with the little god of love toward the sidetracking of Moha as a factor in the 158-pound division. increase but to cutting flrure. it thtm. of the contest the place became Involved In a law suit and the affair was called off.

A new date waa cnosen for early In October, but the street car strike in Gotham made the staging of the show a risky financial proposition so again a postponement was ordered. Some days, when things break right, Moha hopes to get Into the ring with Weinert i.nd when he. does he declares thati the moving picture beauty will be thoroughly eliminated as a heavyweight factor. In tracing his claim to the middle- cljampionshlp Moha has built up a case that looks very reasonable. On this point, Moha, tiirough Manager Callahan, says: "I have never been very boastful, but I really believe that I am as much entitled to the middleweight championship as any man in the world today and here is my line of- reasoning for the claim: "Stanley Ketchel, you may remember, died in 1910.

Billy Papke, who had fought Ketchel so many good fights, way generally regarded as the il'glltful claimant to the title and when Papke lost to Frank Klaus on a foul in, Paris, Klaus was called the champion. Everywhere George Chip got the credit of being the titleholder after he had knocked out Klaus, and then when Al McCoy stopped Chip, the Brooklyn boxer laid claim to the championship. "However all these pretenders overlook the fact that in 1311 I gained the referee's decision over Papke in a Boston ring, which was two years, earlier than Klaus beat the Illinois star. After that I chased Eddie McGoorty ali over a New York ring and later cornered him In Milwaukee and whipped him. I also have beaten Claboy in a ten round match.

There was one decision against me. to Gfeorge Knockout Brown, but I have never been able to get Brown to meet me again. On the face of my record in the past don't yon think I nave a strong claim to the championship? "Now take the case of Mike Gibbons, who is looked upon as champion today. We fought at Hudson, and -he affair ended when Gibbons deliberately quit and used the pretext of foul to cover up his actions. I want to fight Mike Gibbons again but if you mention my name to Mike he does more fancy footwork in dodging than he ever displayed in battle." Moha has only himself to blame for the refusal of boxing critics to consider him as a championship claimant because for two years the Badger bat- Uer to train properly for a match.

If he is serious now in his plan to fight his way back to the fop It will not require more than one or two matches to determine whether he is as good today as he was back in 1911 when he looked like a real star in the middleweight division. Moha Is a rather peculiar personage. In physical -outline he is dumpy. Is only five, feet, four inches tall. He He weighs 160 pounds and says he can ir.ake 15S.

Like Jack Dillon he is willing to fight any heavy weight from the biggest to the smallest. Also, as a middleweight he has tried to get matches with the top notchers of his division, but from Gibbons down they have avoided him like a pestilence. The whole trouble with Moha, is that he Is built like a circus strong: man. He hits hard. Is really x'ery clever as a.

boxer and he is mighty hard to hurt with a punch. His neck is so short that crack on the Jaw scarcely annoys him. His broad chest and big arms are a buffer that take all wallops and apparently leave no string. By all form of to be a star. reckoning he ought now on.

however, Moha has to take a more active part From decided In ring affairs and with that enJ view he has enrolled himself under the Banner of Patsy Callahan. a shrewd and cwreful manager. Callahan. by the way. was man who.

piloted Eddie Mc- Oorty from obscurity to the heights of fame but just nbout tne time McGoorty could see the championship In view he rewarded his patron by tos'slnc him into the discard while he pursued sensuous lips and frlttertd away his time In the weakening pleasures or the primrose path.

Then ths sporting writers of the metropolis, to the man began to turn verbal flip-flops and beat torn toms in heralding to a w-iilting world the coming of a prospective new champion. It was hot stuff while it lasted, and Leonard and his shrewd handlers raked In golden coin tlfcrefrom. Then came the 'rematch: This time Welsh was not caught nupping. He actually buckled down to the weary grind of training, did more road work than he had Jn many months before, took off the billowy paunch that was beginning to appear, and when he entered the ring he was as near to the height of physical perfection he ever can hope to reach again. They say the champion opened the eyes of all that evening.

He was so fast and so aggressive that Leonard, who had counted on meeting another slow-moving champion, was utterly bewildered. Welsh won off by himself and Leonard never had a look in. BMt in justice to Leonard it must be admitted that his prestige was not utterly clouded over by that defeat. He fared as well and probably much better than any other opponent would have done with Welsh In the condition he was that night. There has beeim no attempt since then to bring Welsh' and Leonard together over the ten-round route, because it is generally realized that if this match is staged It will be merely a repetition of their two previous engagements.

What Leonard wants now is a long battle with the title holder. In twenty rounds or more he believes that he will trounce the champion. When Hammer fought Welsh In Milwaukee last spring: the contest one of the best scraps of the season and Hammer generally was acclaimed the winner. This was another instance, however, where Welsh was careless about training. He made only a pretense or preparation, so when he squared away before the bristling blond the champion was unfit to wage the kind of rushing warfare that Hammer Immediately started.

It was a badly ma rked-up champion that left the rinf at the final song while the. name and fame of Hammer was spread broadcast. Now Hammer is pointing himself a scrap with "Welsh, and he hopes to realize his ambition before the closing of winter. In the meantime, "however, the com- ng battle between Hammer nnd Leonard is certain to hnVe an important bearing future piMMfi- ints. A decisive'defeat for either would" be a setback that would t-'ke considerable victories to offset.
