HOW THE TEAMS WILL LINE UP
BY CHARLES JERNEGAN

thusiasm last night on the campus
amid oratory and college yells.
Tiger Begins to Purr
But at Occidental the tiger has only
begun to purr. At the same time Cor
ton has not been idle, and the heavy
and experienced st. Vincents eleven
have furnished excellent practice.
Night after night the gates have been
closed, and every kind of play known
to American football has been tried
with more or less success--but usually
more. Moreover the Presbyterians
outweigh their opponents by almost
three pounds to the man. 1t is rumored
that Gorton will rely mainly on end
runs and lire bucks and that the on
side kick and the forward pass will be
used but little. Cromwells partiality
for the forward pass is well known.
The game promises to be one of the
fastest and most exciting ever wit
messed at Baer field. Rooters from both
universities will be out in force.
Paul RAIDER, better known in realty
than in football circles, will act as
referee, while G. Haines, who developed
under the direction of the mighty Stagg
of Chicago, will act as umpire. Rhein-
hardt a California alumnus, will Of
ficiate in the capacity of field judge,
and Physical Instructor Reynolds of
the Y. NJ. c. A. has been selected as
head linesman. Play ball!
Two Games at Fiesta
In addition to the u. S. Occidental
game Rugby followers will have an op-
portunity to witness a double-header at
Fiesta park. Los Angeles high and
Harvard will meet in the first game,
with Polytechnic and Redlands playing
the second half. Noble has been put
ting the high school lads through a
vigorous course of training, and with
Geisler at his best there appears to be
little doubt as to the outcome.
Poly and Redlands should play an
other fast game, and although the ma
jority believe that the local fifteen will
win Redlands promises to make things
exceedingly lively,

AQUEDUCT, N. Y, Nov. 5.-Favor-
ties and second choices divided an ord.-
nary card run off here today. The han
dicap resulted in a victory for Black

Among the Boxers

Joe Willis and Jack Geyer did not
let up in their work of preparation for
their ten-round boxing contest at Nc
Carey's pavilion yesterday and they
will be in the best possible shape for
the go next Tuesday evening. All of
the other boys who are to take part in
the show also trained assiduously at
their respective camps.
At Doyle's, Willis did six miles on
the road and later performed on the
apparatus in the inclosure and boxed
three rounds with Fritz Frey and three
with two of the other boys of the camp.
He weighed 179 pounds and was on
edge and ready to fight at any mo-
ment.
Jack Geyer did his usual road work
also at Venice and after the morning
stunt he entered the Arcade gymna-
sium and played with the medicine
ball, skipped the rope, did shadow
work and boxed four rounds with Tad
Reardon.
Gene McGovern boxed four rounds
with Dougherty getting ready for his
six-round contest with Young Pico.
Pico and Billy Cappelle are training at
san Pedro working together in the ring.
Pico is a rough and ready fighter who
has made a good impression at the
harbor fights and his contest with
McGovern will form his initial ap-
pearance at Maud. Cappele is on with
Joe Livermore and if the San Pedro
boy wins this fight he will be matched
with frankie Sullivan for the sixteenth
of the month and red hot go is ex-
pected to result.
Jimmy Austin and Young Miller are
doing all they can to get in condition
for their siX-round bout. Miller was
defeated by Jimmy when they hooked
up before but this time he will have
had more experience and as he will
outweigh Austin by six or seven pounds
he believes he will make a much better
showing than he did on the former oc-
casion.
The -windup between Tad Rear
don and Fritz Frey should be whirl-
wind affair. Battling Johnson ac-
knowledged that Frey was his superior
and with Reardon in good shape the
fans will see one of the toughest bouts
Of the evening.
Johnny Frayne is expected to come
to town today and as he is seeking a
match at McCarey's he may be snapped
up for Picato provided Dick Hy-
land does not come through with his
answer today.

with a shock that could be heard away
