JOHNNY DUNDEE, 20 TOMORROW, IS A NATIVE
 OF SUNNY ITALY

Johnny Dundee, who recently grad uated from the featherweight class after boxing Champion KiIbane to a, twenty-round draw, sometimes wears kits for motion picture purposes. As a Scotchman who tried to live up to his name, that is where Johnny gets off He is not a Presbyterian, has never tasted the famous beverage that is usually coupled with soda, dislikes oatmeal, wouldn't know bagpipe if he met one in the. street, and never quotes Robbie Burns or says, +'Hoot, mon." As a matter of fact, Johnny's real monaker is Joseph Carrera, and he was born in Sharkai, Italy, just twenty years ago tomorrow. The name of Johnny Dundee was wished on hi1n by his manager, Scotty Mon teith, about whose nationality there isn't the shadow of the ghost of doubt.
 Dundee fights with true Latin aban- don. He rushes, swings, dodges. dances up and down, and is never quiet for a second. In the ring he looks like a personification of the St. Vitus dance operating under a full head of steam, and he dazzIes and be- wilders his opponents by his fantastic motions. Ten rounds or twenty, it is all the same to Dundee. Apparently he never tires, and he finishes as fur iously as he begins. He lacks a knockout punch, but in these days the sleep potion has become secondary and his inability to send his opponents to dreannland may not prevent Dun dee from realizing his ambition to climb to the top of the lightweight heap.
 Dundee began fighting in 1911, but he did not win prominence as a feath erweight until last year. In August, 1912, he boxed a 12-round draw with Matt Brock at Cleveland and the fol- lowing month took on Johnny Kilbane for 10 rounds at New York. The champion had a. little the better of the argument, but he did not win by any wide margin. Last November Dundee made his first trip to the Pac- fife coast and defeated Frankie Con ley in nineteen rounds at Los Angeles. Last March he again headed for Cali fornia, and in April he held Kilbane to a draw in 20 rounds at McCarey's s Vernon arena. He then went into the lightweight division, and was match ed with Leach Cross and Ad Wolgast, but the death, of Bull Young, after bout with Jess Willard, caused the cancellation of the Vernon bouts. Later he took on Joe Azevedo, the Mexican fighter, and defeated him in a 20-round bout. If the bogus Scotch man maintains the pace, he will soon make the Iightweights sit up and take notice.

Now it's Princeton that doesn't want hard game before a big game. liar yard has done it's wailing about a hard game before championship p contest and dropped Dartmouth from it's schedule. Now Princeton men say that they believe the Tigers meeting with Harvard should be on some date other than the Saturday before the game with Yale. Yale is the only one of the three that has met the oth- CT two each year for several years. The game with Princeton, for several years, while the Princeton team -gas not on Harvard's visiting list was played one week before the Ellis con test with Harvard, but win or lose, the Ellis have never whined about hard games. If Princeton and liar ward change their meeting date there are many Harvard men who would like to see Dartmouth get the second Saturday in November with the Grim son.

MCFARLAND TOYS WITH ALBERTS IN
 WATERBURY RING
(By Ed. Booth. )


 About 5000 fight fans crowded into 1 the auditorium in South Main street | Waterbury, last night and saw PackeV Mcfarland bat Kid AIberts of Jersey l City about the ring for ten rounds Although the preliminaries were a dis appointment the crowd seemed satis- | fled with McFarland's display of clev- erness.
 Although he far outc1assed A1berts, Mcfarland gave an exhibition of the hit, step and get away game that was truly marvellous.
 Sometimes when A1berts landed a blow that stung a bit, Mcfarland would bore in and 1t was evident that he couold have put A1berts away any time he wanted.
 Hes a good fellow and a, friend of mine," said Mcfarland after the show, what was the use?''
 At times the prize ring wonder from the Chicago stock yards would block or duck AIberts' punches and then thrusting the heel of his hand under Alberts' chin he would push him into a corner, hit him two or three cuffs rather then blows and then, walk away while A1berts got himself together for another posture of defence.
 In only one round, the third, did A1berts show any speed and in that round he kept Mcfarland fairly busy. In the fourth round Mcfarland knocked AIberts down but the latter was unhurt. Altogether the crowd seemed well pleased with the exhibi- ton although the preHninaries were disappointing.
 Out of the ring and in his street clothes Mcfarland looks more like a clerk than a boxer. He is clean of speech and chooses his words, using good English rather than the verna- cu1ar of the prize ring. He frankly admits that he is in the game for the money that there is in it. Like Jim Corbett all his ring battle have left him unscathed and unscarred. He has no cau1if1ower ears, nor 8 mark on his features anywhere, not even a crooked finger to testify to many fights in which he has participated.
 Nothing short of murder pleases a fight crowd in Waterbury. Knock Out Sweeney and Billie Allen of Norwich were trying to box ten rounds. They began in the first round to feel each outher out.
 Cut that stuff out,'' Take it up on the Abrigador," Remember what hap pened to the Dixie Kid here," shouted the fans in the gallery and they kept up a running fire of like remarks un- til in the third round Sweeney and Allen both began swinging wild and Sweeney punched Allen through the ropes and into the audience. Then Referee Billie Joh stopped the bout.
 In the other bouts Young Barbour knocked out Young Phe1an in the third round and in one minute and forty-five seconds Kid Lewis knocked down One Round Nolan five times, the last time sending him through the ropes and into the audience. Referee Joh then stopped this bout also and gave the decision to Kid Lewis.
 Joe Shea was referee of the first preliminary because when 1t. was call ed the official referee with Mcfarland and a couple of New York friends was sitting in Hodson's cafe in Exchange place putting away big p1anked steak.

FOSTER SANFORD SAYS
 BIG COLLEGES HAVEN'T
 GOOD ATTACKING PLAYS

New York, Nov. 21-George Eos ter Sanford of Yale declares that the present-day game of football is wane- ing in offensive continuity.
 Both the Harvard-Princeton and Ya1e-Princeton games,'' he says, "can be put down under the head of kick ing due1s. This was through no de- sire on the part of these teams to wholly resort to this type of play, but it was thrust upon them through their inability to advance the ball by any other method.
 what is called "open up'' the game that Is, to resort to wide end plays and the use of the forward pass.
 ''The forward pass again failed sim gu1arly. The wide end plays resulted as they always have done since foot ball began occasionally, but never successive1y. It naturally do but to kick.
 Hence it is that we find both Princeton and Yale with a highly de- veloped kicking game. This, of course, includes the covering of kicks and receiving them.
 Under the covering of kicks the modern game has become very wear ing.
 'FThe Yale men witstood this pres- sure better and were more effective .n the down-feld work than Princeton. This is evidenced by the fact that Yale had more opportunities to score by use of the drop-kfck than Prince ton.
 Hence, it follows, in my opinion at least, that Yale had the better of the argument in everything excepting the score.
 ''The cause of the inability of both teams to gain is the rules. The de- fensive methods employed by these teams were the same. They each used a single line of defense effec- lively.
 Yet I still maintain that this meth cd of defense is erroneous. It is true it will stop the Minnesota shift, and even though it succeeds in stop ping Harvard, shall still continue to maintain that it is defective.
 Harvard has played the same type of offensive for many years, and has simply adapted it to the new eondt- tions. They have simply made their old offensive formation applicable to these new conditions.
 Their offense is exceedingly de- captive, being executed with rare abIl- ity, yet, when it arrives at the line of scrimmage it does so with a real punch.
 "I venture the opinion that Yale's defense as used against Princeton will not work out as satisfactorily next Saturday,
