WILL BATTLE ON
POMONA FIELD
U. S. c. STUDENTS PREPARE
FOR GREAT GAME
oId-Time Enemies Are Ready for a
Struggle That May Deter.
mine the oridiron
Championship

University of Southern California
students will travel by special train
to Claremont this morning with the
varsity team, which is to line up
against Pomona for the great annual
football game that exists as the most
important athletic affair in connection
with u. S. C.-Pomona college life
Enemies of old. both u. S. G.. and
Pomona are preparing for the strug-
gle which has ever been replete with
more or less bitterness, arising from
former gridiron and track battles.
Contentious have not been absent from
Pomona-U. S. c. relations and only
two years ago the two institutions
were at such dagger points that ath-
letic obServanceS were entirely severed.
Trouble had arisen owing to dis.
pute in connection with some valued
gridiron performer playing for the
university. Pomona based claims
against his eligibility and forthwith
arose the war.
HatChets have now been buried, how
ever, so far as baby play is concerned
and a terrific struggle is anticipated
when the teams face each other to-
day, on the country gridiron. u. S. G..
while Pomona is yet to prove her worth
at the American game Pomona has
engaged in one gridiron affair, that
with the Sherman Indian team, in
which the aborignes came away with
all laurels.
U. S. C. has met both high school
and Occidental, playing tie with the
Academies and scoring heavily against
the Highlanders. In years past Po-
mona has generally placed faster
team upon the gridiron than has u. S.
c., but Holmes possesses a strong
husky eleven this season which, though
not amazingly fast, is not altogether
sluggish.
There is not much of a line to be
drawn upon the Claremont eleven, as
their Rugby performances called for a
far different style of play
Should U. S. G. win from Pomona to-
day her right to the intercollegiate
championship may be disputed only
by st. Vincent's, which has at last
agreed to meet the university team on
it's own field. For some time the
Saints held out for other grounds than
Bovard field, as they met U. S. C. at
the same place last year and were
under an impression that Holmes
should agree to neutral meeting
place.
Against U. S. c. last year, which
game ended in a 90 score, the Saints
held an advantage practically through
out the game, as they managed to
keep the oval threatening U. S. c. goal
posts in an uncomfortable manner.
Rather than not play st. Vincents
authorities have determined to enter
the enemies grounds again. In the
event of Pomona winning today they
should be able to defeat Occidental.
A tangle might result should Occiden-
tai defeat ST. Vincent's today and then
win from Pomona. In that event there
would be no definite way of deciding
the championship without further
games beiifg played.
With st. Vincents and Pomona
strongly victorious this afternoon the
title would in all probability be de-
cided between the two elevens at their
future date.

Autumn Meet in District of Columbia
Under Auspices of Washington
Jockey Club, Promises Little
Profit to Backers
By Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. - The
autumn meeting at Bennings, under
the auspices of the Washington Jockey
club, opened today under conditions
that promise little profit to the hackers
of the meeting.
The recent decision affecting book
makers compelled all bettors to seek
investment among men wearing no
badges and having no stationary loca-
tion for business, and therefore a light
business was done.
Under these conditions short prices
were offered and a comparatively
small amount of money changed hands
The attendance was the smallest of
recent years. Many bookmakers have
announced their intention of aban-
doning business during the meeting.
Results:
First race, six and a half furlongs,
Columbia course-Niblick won, Yada
second. Toscan third time 1928 rs.
Second race, steeplechase, maiden g.
year-olds, about two miles--Souvegny

ACCIDENT OCCURS
At AGRICULTURAL
GIRL RIDER THROWN FROM
HER MOUNT
Comes to Grief While Training for
Special Women's Race, Which
Is to Be Run in the Conn.,
ing Meet

Oe of the pretty girls training for the
women's race to be held as one of the
features of the race meeting at Agri-
cultural park next week came to grief
yesterday morning at the track. Miss
Cecilia Harkness, pretty 17-year-old
damsel, was exercising a racer named
Black Ben. She had ridden the horse
for couple of weeks on the country
roads, but had never tried him out on
the track.
When brought on the course Ben
bolted suddenly and threw the girl
rider headlong to the ground. She was
dazed for a few minutes, but soon re-
co cred and said she would be seen
when the horses face the barrier next
week.
All preparations have been made for
the big meeting and indications point
to one of the largest crowds which have
ever gathered at such an affair in the
west. The crowds last year taxed
the grand stand to it's capacity, and
judging from the interest being shown
in the coming races there will be stand
ing room only after o'clock any af-
ternoon.
and two or more harness events daily,
the first race being called at las.
The program for the first day con-
sists of a five furlong and six fur
long running race and the 2:15 trot
and the 2:15 pace. All abe events will
have large fields

HYLAND TAKES
THE DECISION
THOMPSON LOSES AFTER A
HARD BATTLE
Chicago Boy Has Fighting Dick" All
but out In the Sixteenth Round,
When the Latter Re-
cuperates
eneoial 10 rhe Herald.

Special to The Herald.
OGDEN, Utah, Nov. 16.-After twenty
rounds of fighting, during which time
the men never stopped for a minute,
Fighting Dick Hyland was given the
decision over Cyclone Thompson. The
house, which was largely for Thompson,
cheered the decision, although it was
not won by large margin.
Hyland was practically the aggressor
for the first fifteen rounds, when
Thompson came in with rush and In
the sixteenth and seventeenth had all
the best of it; in fact, had Hyland ap-
parently all in. Hyland came back in
the eighteenth and finished the last two
rounds fighting Thompson to a stand
still The men did a great deal Of
wrestling, and during these rounds
Thompson was unable to find the Cali
fornian.
When they did fight and break clean
Thompson had a better chance and used
his left effectively on Hyland's jaw.
Referee Williams did not try to break
the men until the last two rounds, when
he forced the boys to break away and
fight 1t out. From this time on Hyland
smashed Thompson right and left, and
in the twentieth round the only knock
down Of the fight occurred. Hyland
swung on Thompson's jaw and the Chi
cago man fell partly from the blow and
partly from slipping.
He arose Immediately but Hyland was
at him again and had him in bad way
when the gong sounded. The men
weighed in ringside under 1873 pounds
and seemed to be in the best of shape.
The fact that they were able to go the
pace proved this. Thompson won the
plaudits of the crowd by his ability
to take the gaff. Several times he went
to his corner all but out, but each sue
ceeding round he came up strong and
was always the first to rush into the
fight.
1t was in the eighth round where
Thompson first went to the bad. Hy-
land had him bleeding and this was re-
peated in the ninth and tenth, from this
until the sixteenth. The men devoted
the greater amount of their time to
wrestling, with Hyland the aggressor,
landing telling blows on the kidneys
Hyland's blocking in the clinches was
something marvellous, and during this
time while he was able to land short
jabs to Thompson's jaw. The crowt
was one of the largest that ever at
tended fight here. Betting at the ring.
side was 100 to 20 on Hyland to win.

GREAT CANES
ARE SCHEDULED
PRINCETON AND YALE READY
FOR STRUGGLE
Michigan Will Battle with PennsyI-
vania in First Game That WoIver-
ines Have Contested with
the Eastern Eleven

Los Angeles university alumni men
are greatly interested in the two great
football games which occur today on
eastern gridirons, with Princeton and
Yale competing and Michigan lined
against Pennsylvania.
Michigan's game this afternoon will
mark an era in western football, as in
former years the famous Wolverines
have been refused an opportunity of
meeting any of the big four" teams.
Gloom, however, in a measure hovers
about the Michigan men, as, during a
practice game last Saturday, Curtis,
captain of Yosts team, fractured his
leg and may never be able to play
again.
Curtis loss is especially severe in that
Michigan possesses probably the weak
est team which has represented Ann
Arbor in years. Had Michigan met
either Yale, Harvard, Princeton or
Pennsylvania in the seasons when such
men as Heston and Sweeley played for
Yost there is small doubt but that a
championship would have come to the
west.
However, those years are past and al
though Michigan will line up this
afternoon with but a shadow of her
former strength, Ann Arbor is hopeful.
Throughout the season Princeton has
been touted by eastern critics as the
one eleven capable of downing Yale
and at that the Tigers have been held
superior. Yale's poor showing against
weak West Point came as an ominous
sign to Eli supporters and Camps men
are not granted more than an even
consideration in the minds of football
experts who have closely followed the
trend Of gridiron affairs during the
past season.
In Harlan, left half Princeton has
a man who appears as another of the
Poe's. When Princeton defeated West
Point by score of so last Saturday
Harlan twice booted the ball for a
place kick, once from the twenty-four
yard line and at his final try from
the forty-four yard line.
Yale men fear this strong kicker and
he may meet with success after the
whistle blows today
Following is the lineup for the Yale
Princeton game:

ATTELL DEFEATS
AGED DEC0URSEY
SAN DIEGO DEv0TEES ARE
SUSPICIOUS
Abe Plays with His Opponent and
Could Have Easily Put Him
to Sleep at Any
Time

Special to The Herald.
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 16.-Before a
small crowd assembled at the Ma
tional Athletic club tonight Abe Attell,
featherweight champion of the world,
successfully defended his title by gain
ing a decision over Billy Decoursey at
the end of fifteen rounds, which were
marked by miserably slow fighting.
Strong suspicion attended the, bout,
as Attell appeared at any time able
to knock out Ehis aged opponent, had
he so desired. Decoursey stalled
throughout the affair and the Attell
boy fiddled with him as a cat might
play with a mouse. The champion did
not endeavor to reach Decoursey in
effective manner and seemed content
to allow the local boy to keep under
cover Decoursey accomplishing the
same in satisfactory manner.
The affair will not particularly en-
hance the value of ring attractions so
far as San Diego is concerned, it be-
ing plainly evident that some prear-
ranged plan must have been on foot
whereby Decoursey would stay the
limit. Referee Eddie Robinson gave
the only decision which could have
been rendered under the circum-
stances.
Eddie Meeney of Los Angeles Sc
cured four-round decision over Ed
Martin of Oakland in the rst prelimi-
nary. The others were not worth wit

STIPEND
When Burns and oBren Meet the
Official Judge of the Contest
Will Receive a Tempt
ing Purse

Routine work was the order at both
and now that all preliminary arrange
ments have been completed the prin-
cipals are prepared for a steady grind
at methods which they believe are best
for their respective physical character
istics
Los Angeles ring devotees are realiz-
ing that many features never before
featured in connection with boxing
attraction have entered into the
OBrien-Burns affair.
Not only has the announcement that
Jim Jeffries would referee created no
end of favorable comment, but the
fact that Manager McCarey has offered
the largest fee ever paid to a ring Of
fetal is also causing comment the coun-
try over. When Jim Jeffries was
granted $1,000 for refereeing the Hart
Root battle at Reno general wonder
nent ensued and predictions We're
numerous that the high tide of ring Off
dating had been reached.
Not so, however. When the great
champion steps between the ropes he
will be entering upon a little jaunt
which is to net him $500. II is small
wonder that beyond the Rockies folks
marvel at the dazzling purses which at
tend Pacific slope ring events. Siler
refereeing a 100000 battle, was given
$500 for his trouble. Now comes Jef-
fries to otficiate at worlds champions
ship struggle with $500 as the bait.
AS an indication of the intense In
terest which is attending the outcome d
$1,000 reservation has been recorded OF
the Pacific Athletic club books.
One preliminary has been arranged
which will consist of ten-round gC
between Kid Dalton and Young Lau.

RUGBYIS7S TO
MEET ALL STARS
POLYTECHNIC WILL LINE UP
WITH BRITlSHERS
Exponents of the English Game Pre-
pared for Struggle on BoVard
Field This After
noon

Not to be outdone by American game
exponents, the newly formed Rugby
team, composed of former English
players, will line up this afternoon on
Bovard field with the Los Angeles
Polytechnic men for practically the last
Rugby game of the season. Those who
believe that Rugby, as played by simon
pure Englishmen, is all to the good,
will have an opportunity this afternoon
of witnessing tactics such as distin-
guish British methods.
Coach Densham himself an English
man, has been directing the Polytech-
mic men and as an innovation the
squad was obliged to participate in
paper chases' upon which the Eng
lish rely greatly for development of
lung power capable of carrying them
through whirlwind game.
There is no getting around the fact
that Rugby requires a great amount of
stamina, as the ball is generally in the
open, resulting in a scramble to send
1t toward one goal or the other. Berke-
ley and Stanford men while in Los
Angeles claimed that their wind had
been effectively improved by practice
at the new sport.
Polytechnic has given an excellent
account of itself this season so far
as the American game is concerned
and hope to uphold it's reputation
when it comes to an exhibition of the
British pastime.
