Hardwick Tried Out on Line
in Harvard's Rehearsals

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov H.
There was no hard work for Harvard
yesterday, the coaches being busy
working out a new combination of
players In signals and on defensive
formations. Changes were made in
four positions on the team yesterday
and all because Harvard's left side
of the rush line did such unsatis-
factory work against the Tigers last
week.
Cowen, who has been playing left
guard, was taken off the first team
today and Rex Hitchcock, who has
played tackle two years, was shifted
over to Governs place. Then Captain
Storer, who has been playing end
since the first of the month, went
back to tackle, although or he ct

Captain Ketcham Again Shifted
by Yale's Football S0lOns

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov H.
The makeup of the Yale eleven was
shifted into the playing order that
the coaches expect will be followed
Saturday against Princeton, the much
discussed change of Captain Ketcham
from right end to left guard being
put into effect. One of the principal
reasons for ordering the change is
that Red Brann who impressed the
coaches by his work in the two or
three games he has played, is avail
able for end again and mick" Carter,
another excellent end. is nearly back
in -15hysical condition again Their
advent has strengthened the wing
positions, while the guards have con-
tinued to be played by inexperienced
athletes. Way was disposed today to
make room for Captain Ketcham and
his companion guard was Robinson,
the former Minnesota star, whose
plugging for the place has been stead
fast all the fall. The coaches plan to
use Ketcham on the offense as guard
and on the defense as tackle.

game began, but only six minutes

To those who are wont to re-

of Willie Richie, champion tight
weight. and Johnny Kilbane.
champion featherweight. may be
interesting.
Richie earned $1O.65O for a ten
round bout Monday night with
Leach Cross. The $4,000 was his
guarantee and the $3.50 was for
training and travelling expenses
from California.
Kilbane was handed $1,052 for
boxing two minutes and half. or
about $6.25 second. Eddie

nent, succumbed after two hard
wallops, so that Kilbane received

champions of recent years. there is a
healthy desire on the part of the
patrons OF the game hereabouts to
see Richie and some other good
lightweight in battle. Immediately
after Richie had fin shed with his
artistic trimming of Leach Cross, the
champions name was linked with
that of several other promising OPP
ponents. But uppermost In every
body's mind seemed to be the magic
name of Packey Mcfarland. Such q
contest, with Richie on the one side
and Mcfarland on the other, would
be the last word in pugflistic treat.
That such fight will eventually come
about Is not very likely. Ritchie, for
one thing. will always be able to get
easier game and he will have q good,
honorable excuse for not meeting
Packey. because of the difference In
weight. On that point Ritchie will
have the public with him. although
every fan you meet Is expressing the
wish that a bout between the two
will eventually be made.
@
The difference In poundage between
Richie and Mcfarland Is not so
great when you get right down to
cases. No matter what might be
given out In Ritchie's training quar-
ters as to what Willie can make
on the scales. the fact remains that
he worked particularly faithful for
his bout with Cross and he was
lust within 1876 pounds at o'clock
on the dav of the contest. When he
entered the ring he weighed plump
1877 pounds We take 1t that the
champion was about as good as care
full and assiduous preparation could
possibly make him. and that he didn't
have anything to spare In regard to
superfluous flesh. In appearance, he
looked strong. rugged, healthy. or. as
the enthusiast would say. Trained

much fear of contradiction, we take
it. is at his best at 1877 pounds ring

everybody is honest until proven 9TH
erwise. we presume that the weight

which event. Mcfarland was only
three pounds heavier than Ritchie at
fight time. Packey made 1877 pounds
for Murphy at o'clock on the eve
