-Jeffries and Rubin meet tonight
at San Francisco. No heavyweight
championship battle has been so de-
void OF interest as the conflict slated
for tonight.
Bob Fitzsimmons, who ought to
know something about the scrapping
powers of the big fellows, says that
Jeffries should surely win against
Rubin.
Worcester High has had every OBJ
stacle thrust before it in its efforts
to muster playing strength for the
Academy game, but tomorrow the
eleven will go on the field full Of pluck.
-Harvard's chances of winning from
Yale grow brighter each day, and
even money is the betting cry in all
the sporting centres.
Harvard and Yale freshmen
elevens will meet tomorrow for the
annual battle. Strangely enough, the
youngsters from Cambridge have al
ways been remarkably. successful
against the, Yale freshmen.
AT New Haven there is talk of
playing Glass, the big guard now un-
der protest, on the freshman team. IT
the player Is not eligible for the
varsity eleven, 1t is difficult to figure
=
freshman.
Princeton and Yale meet tomorrow
at New Haven. For the past few
days the gloomiest of stories have
been sent out from New Haven and
Princeton isn't making any claims, but
ii is safe to assert that neither team
will have cripples on the field and be
obliged to sit down and watch the
other fellows score.
Some of the odds established in
New York for football bets follow:
Yale vs. Harvard, even money; Cornell
VS.. Columbia, 5 to on Cornell;
Princeton VS.. Yale, to on Yale.
The Boston Journal says that
Harvard shelves her ineligible men
without waiting for opponents to
register protests. For this display of
craftsmanship Harvard should get all
credit, especially when Yale's stand on
the Glass question is considered.
Nearly half million dollars will
be expended at University Of Pennsyl-
vania to improve Franklin Field.
Athletics at Pennsy have been boom
ing yearly, but the present footbalsl
team does not appear up to big four
standard.
Boston College had game sched-
contest was cancelled. Boston College
evidently believes that it has had
enough football for one season.
There is talk in baseball circles of
the proposed return of Capt. Arson to
/ baseball. 1t is said that President
Hart is to retire from the Chicago
| National League Club to go to New
! York, and that old Pop" Arson will
| again shine in the Windy City.
Young" Critic, the clever Aus
tralian pugilist, who made q name for
! himself as one of the cleverest pugil-
! lists In the world, but sacrificed his
! talents for fast living, has again
popped up. Young" Critic has been
resurrected four times, but this is his
strongest effort to return to form, and
his friends believe that he will be sue
cessful.
Perry Hale, last year fullback at
Yale, will join the Homestead (Pa.)
professional team within a short time
Richardson, the former Brown half
back, is at quarter, and Gammons and
Fultz, other old Brown men, are be-
hind the line. Crolius, formerly OF
! Dartmouth, has been playing behind
the line for Homestead, but will be
replaced by Hale.
| Another heavyweight battle is be-
! ing arranged for Dec. 20, between Tom
Sharkey- and Jeffries The sailor is
confident that he can wallop the cham
| pion, but the wise ones only smile.
Dartmouth has high hopes of
scoring against Harvard tomorrow,
but the crimson will not go lightly.
1t will be a grand thing for the Cam
! bridge men to get stiff battle and
thereby keep them on edge for the
Yale game. An easy win might result
in over confidence and overwhelming
defeat. The two seem closely allied,
esneciallY in Harvard athletics.
