SHOULD
BE AWARDEDPALM
Orange and Black With Half Recruiting Strength, Ap-
proaches Close to Yale in Percentage of Victories
on Football Field
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Yale is generally credited with being
the most advanced in athletics among
all the colleges of the country, par
ticularly In football. Certainly the Els
record shows innumerable victories on
the gridiron, more than on the books
of any other university. But it is not
generally known that Yale has more
students eligible to varsity teams than
has any other college.
At New Haven 1851 students are this
year eligible to represent Yale in vari-
Gus fields of athletic endeavor. This is
35l more than at Harvard, the Blues
greatest rival. Harvard's student reg
istration Is greater than that of Yale.
but at Cambridge more men are made
ineligible to represent the university
in athletics.
The agreement of Yale, Harvard, and
Princeton, entered into in 1906, forbids
freshmen and all other first year stu
dents from playing on varsity teams.
Graduate students, not having a degree,
are eligible, but this benefits only Yale.
At New Haven $50 such graduate stu
dents are eligible for all teams.
Yale also has It's own special interpre-
tation of this rule, restricting 1t to
teams in so-called major sport, football,
baseball, rowing, and track. Each col
lege is allowed to make its own inter-
pretatio and the only redress left
Harvard and Princeton is to sever ath-
letic relations with Yale.

When These Heavyweight
Boxers Meet.

NEW YORK, Nov. S--Carl Morris and
Jim Geyer, two of the biggest boxers in
the ring today, will clash at the Empire
A. c. on November 13, This will be a
battle between giants. Morris stands
6 feet 21a inches and Geyer feet 81
inches. In perfect fighting trim, each
scales 2l5 pounds.
Friends of Morris, who have watched
him box at the New Polo A. c., claim
he is a tough piece of fighting timber
Morris showed he possessed courage in
his battle with Flynn, but lacked the
necessary ring experience to win the
fight. Since then he has trained hard
to learn how to box. This experience
he has gained by sparring with fast
clever boxers.
Geyer comes from the West He has
won many battles in decisive style dur.
