YALE AND COLUMBIA.

York This Afternoon.

York This Afternoon.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-What will un-
doubtedly prove an exceptional game Of
football is scheduled for tomorrow after
noon at Manhattan Field, when the blue
clad kickers from New Haven will lock
arms with Coach sandford's team of play
ers wearing the colors Of Columbia Uni
Yersity.
The game will undoubtedly be won by
Yale-that is, if the New Haven men are
as strong as they ought to be and if
Columbia is as weak as they ought TO be,
But G. Foster Sanford, who brought out
a winning team for Yale from green ma
terial two years ago, has performed Won.
ders with his proteges of University
Heights and one never knows how much
stronger Columbia is each week until after
the usual Saturday game when their work
causes the close student Of form to shake
his head and say: They're getting dan
geTOus. Shouldn't be surprised if"
Nor will everybody be surprised if the un-
expected happens and Columbia emerges
a winner on Saturday. OF course, Yale
has long array of football talent, men
who have undergone hard knocks in years
past trying TO make a place on the var
sity team, while Columbias frst-year team

comparatively untried material. But with
a man of head as well as brawn as their
guide, team work has been developed that
in its results makes every man appear a
star.
Princeton defeated Columbia two weeks
ago by 10 to 0. This in the face of the
fact that Columbia had a line weakened by
the disability of several of her best men
and Princeton having Ter strongest team
out. 1t is doubtful if Princeton could re-
peat the dose now. That Yale can run
up as big a score is unlikely, while Co
lumbia's offence in tomorrow's game
should be a marked Improvement over the
old work.
Yale rooters are not giving the odds that
a careless observer would think warranta-
bic. This shows a realization of the hard
game the sons of Eli expect, and they have
been saving their best men from hard
practice all week in anticipation of the
contest.
Columbia's sole weakness is in the kick
ing department. With this remedied the
hopes of her admirers would scar Sly
ward. Captain Simons, injured in the
Princeton game, IS far from fit, and neither
Norman nor Jones are up TO the varsity
standard of punters. Sandford, however,
is sanguine of developing a good man be-
fore the final games of the season. Cap
tain Mcbride, the Yale full back, should
outclass the Columbia full back in distance
covered, if the Yale line can withstand the
| opposing rushers long enough to enable
Mcbride to get the ball away

Among the Bettors.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-John L. Sullivan
went TO Asbury Park today and called on
Jim Jeffries. About fifty prominent New
York sports were in the party, and all
went away with a deep-rooted conviction
that JefIries was in grand fettIe. The
champion boxed with Tommy Ryan. His
quickness, his marvellous judge Of distance
and his hitting, were admired. The hoo
doo' still seems TO pursue Jefries. This
morning when he jumped out Of bed he ex=
perienced a stiffness Of the neck Some
one suggested that he may have caught
cold but the champion said it was caused
from wrestling with Ernest Roeber who
gave him hard tgssle on the mat the
day before. Later in the day the stiffness
disappeared.
In striking contrast to this there was
not much animation shown about ShaT-
keys quarters at New Dorp. Toms work
consisted Of q ten-mile run, dip IN the
surf and a try at the dumb-bells When
he was through with the latter his men

Tom O'Rourke, matchmaker of the LenoX
Athletic Club, who recently stated that he

Club, has consequently transferred the fol-
lowing fights TO the Broadway Athletic
Club: The Dixon-Curley fight, the McKee,

battle, and the McGovern- Callahan go"
All of these fights will be decided on Tues

place during the month Of November.
The IiveIiest kind Of fighting will prevail
in the arena of the Greenwood Athletic
Club in Brooklyn tonight as two of
the heaviest sluggers of their class have

The fight is scheduled TO go twenty rounds,

partner, viii be the man who will try his
skill and punching powers against those Of
the hard puncher, Patsy Mcintyre. Both
men are in good shape now, and will be as
fine as silk when they enter the ring. To
precede this event two ten-round bouts
have been arranged, and are between local
chaps Of some standing IN the pugilistic
world. The first event will be between
Johnny Hines and Young HOTney, at ia
pounds. and the other between Frank Coll
yer and Jack Dwyer at 135 pounds.
a slashing boxing bout is assured for
next Monday night at the Hercules Athletic
Club Myrtle Avenue, near Broadway,
Brooklyn. when Tim KeaTns, now a Brook
Ignite and Martin Flaherty, Of Lowell.
Mass, clash for twenty-five rounds at 1913
pounds. Both men are prominent factors
in the much -enJangied light weight ques-
tion and are deserving of serious consider
alton from the leaders Of that class. True,
Kearns was recently beaten by O'Brien but
his victories over many other fast and cley-
er men, mostly knockouts, make him an
obstacle necessary TO overcome to reach
the championship goal. This Martin Fla
herty is eager TO do, and having beaten
Erue and given Jack O'Brien the hardest
fight Of his career, he certainly makes the
dispute over premiership in the division
mentioned a quadrangular one.
Patsy COrrigan, Of San Francisco, who is
! TO make his first appearance in the East al
the Pelican Athletic Club tonight, comes
! here with a good reputation. He is a well

best boxers on the Coast. The boxing game
