WARNER DENIES THAT HE
AND THORPE HAD FIGHT

CARLISLE. PA, Oct. l4.-Coach
Warner emphatically denies the news
paper stories emanating from Pittsburg
to the effect that he had a physical en-
counter with Captain Jim" Thorpe
after the Washington and Jefferson
game. The only occurrence which
could have given rise to such ridiCu-
lous story was the fact that while wait
ing at the hotel in Pittsburg for the
train home Coach Warner observed
two admirers of Thorpe presenting him
with a bottle of whisky. Warner called
these fellows down in no mild language
and also reprimanded Thorpe for ac-
cepting the bottle. Thorpe explained
later that he accepted the bottle for
the reason that he did not wish to of
fend the donors and not because he in
tended to use IL
