Jimmv Duffy, the Uekport fighter. who while a lightweight beat almost everyone in the division, will battle Jack Britton at Buffalo New Year's , day for the welterweight title. i uou in which the elevens of the University of Oregon and the University of Penn sylvania will be opponents. The contest will involve a traveling mileage of close to 10,000 miles and this will probably establish a record for a single football ga me. Late in the season of 1915 Syracuse university team made a trip to the Pacific const, winning from the Oregon Aggies 28 to 0 and Occidental college 35 to 0. Last new year's day (1910) Brown played Washington State at Pasadena and was defeated 14 to 0. EVEN CONTEST PROMISED. ie Name between Pennsylvania and Oregon is likely to be more evenly con tested as the eastern and far western university elevens appear to be equally matched so far as can be judged from their respective records, weights and methods of offense and defense. Sev- , eral of the players on each team stand j out in their respective sections as grid- J iron stars of high calibre. If the con test is fought out on a dry field it js likely that both Fullback Howard Berry, of Pennsylvania, and Shy Hunt ington, the Oregon quarterback, will shine In the open field running and field goal kicking. Both teams Include other Impressive | players and their records are above the average. Oregon has not been defeat ed this year although held to a no score tie by Washington. Pennsylvania, defeated by Swarthmore and Pitts burg- and tied by Dartmouth, came very strong at the ».lose of the season and should be In excellent, shepe for the hard game that Oregon will unfcover | against the Quake, eleven.
