to take a tumble? For several
years, Harvard and Yale have been
looked upon as setting the pace for
all things educational. Perhaps foot
ball is not educational but the de-
feats of the so called "big" elevens
isn't going to add to the prestige Of
these two institutions. As a matter
Of fact, there are several institutions

.ENWRIGHT LOOKS
 ABLE TO GET IN
 PRINCETON GAME

Cambridge, Nov. 2-The HarVaro O coaches eliminated the usual Monday light drill yesterday afternoon, gath ering all the varsity players in the Stadium and mapping out some hard work for those who were able to get into the1ine-up. There were no ab- sentees, even Enwright being on the field. Saturday and yesterday the coaches and the doctors thought that he would be out of the game TOT a week or more, but his knee snapped back into psiion, as it did on such short notice 10 days ago, and his ankle injury proved not serious He is still "a little lame, but there now seems an excellent chance that the Crimson will be able to use him against the Tigers.
 Wallace, the regular center, was ab- sent from the lineup, although he also, was on the field. Wallace re- ceived another kick on the head but he will be all right after a short rest
 With the uncertainty whether Gil- man will be in shape to start the game against the Tigers, the coaches de- cided to put Dadmun, the left guard, back at left tackle, and to move Cowen from the substitutes into the regular line. and at guard. where he has played ginl several games this fall

Decline to Rule on
 Johnny Ertle's Right
 to The Championship


 The now famous question as to whether or not Johnny Ertle is the bantamweight champion was present ed before the Boxing Commission at it's meeting yesterday for an official solution. Jimmy Twyford of the CIermont A. c. of Brooklyn has sign ed, Ertle for a bout and thinks he is within his rights ir billing, the St. Paul boxer as the rightful owner of the title which most persons. believe belongs to Kid Williams
 Fred Wenck and Major Dixon re- fused to hand down an official opin- ion on the question. "'We prefer not to go on record in this matter,'' said Wsnck. Should Twyford bill Ertle as the champion we cannot stop him. That is a matter for the boxing public to settle for itself
 Among followers Of the sport the commissions passing the buck to the Dear Old Public, which it rep resents, did not meet with favor If, as some believe, Ertle las no right to the title the com aission is giving si- lent sanction to his obtaining money under false pretenses, as he can arl- 1oubtedly command a bigger guar antee as champion than he could get as plain Johnny Ertle.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1s65-Harry Broome. at one time champion of England, died in Lon don. Harry was the younger brother of Johnson Broome, the cleverest box CT of his day, and began his career as a lightweight, and after ward de- feated some of the best midde1wN NAght boxers of the day. In 1851 Harry de- feated Bill Perry, the Tipton Slasher, winning on a foul, and followed this with a victory over Harry Orme. By these battles Broome became the heavyweight champion of England. In 1856 he lost the championship to Tom Paddock after a desperate combat lasting more than an hour. Although not a large man Broome was a scien-. tific, game and durable ring warrior, and might have lasted much longer as champion except for a tragedy which broke his heart. His brother Johnny who had introduced him to the ring, fell into financial straits, and in 1855 he committed suicide. liar ry never recovered from the blow, took to drinking to drown his sorrow, lost his title, and died while still in his prime just half century ago today.

WAGNER'S OWN COLUMN

The Annex team Is making big preparations for it's game with the Rernfng gton-Arms eleven next Sunday at Newfe1d park. The New Haven team claims the state title at present but will have to hustle to hold the Arms giants in check. The Annex management has strengthened by getting Chapman. Hines, Lonergan, Spillane and other New Haven stars. The Arms hope to use both McCor- mack and Mi1liken against the invad- CTS.
 Tom ShevIin, who is on his way to take charge of the Yale eleven, lost no, time in spilling the pepper box He left Chicago last night on the last stage of the Journey from his Mime apo1is home and gave out this state ment: Ii
 q am going to New Haven to be of what assistance I can. I don't know whats the matter there but I do know that we'll have to get Yale ready to defeat Harvard and Princeton. We've all got to pull together and do it mighty quick Twice since his un- dergraduate leadership of Yale Shev- lin has been lcal1ed during a slump in the team.
 Under the direction, of Tad Jones, the Exerter eleven has made one of the. best prep school records of the year. The youngsters have rolled up 1O4 points and have not been scored upon.

DILLON DEFEATS CHARLIE WEINERT
 IN LIVELY FIGHT

New York, Nov. 2-No bout that has been staged at Madison Square Garden this year had as much action crowded into it for ten rounds as the session between Jack Dillon of 1n- dianapo1is and Charley Weinert of Newark, N. J.. in the big arena last night.
 Neither man was afraid of the oth- CT and not once did either give ground. They exchanged punches and waHops with 1ghtning-lfke rapidity and never stopped mixing affairs from the first bell to the last.
 In nine out of the ten ,rou1-ds DiI- the popular decision It was a, bat tie between ag boxer and fighter. Weinert was scientific, a fast shoot CT of punches, clever, had good Judgment of distance and scientific in the matter of ring tactics. But his punches lacked force. His blows jarred Dillon but they, were unable to hurt him.
 Dillon was on top of Weinert near 1y all the time and forced the fight ing go per cent. of the time they occupied the ring.
 Diuon's punches had crushing forceS bat the waIlops did not land directly on the chin. Weinert was in distress several times. Weinert saved himself three times by clinching and holding.
 i About 4.5oo saw the bout. The receipts when they are figured up this morning will probably reach between $7,00O and $8,000.

Ban Johnson Wise In

Very properly Ban Johnson admin isters a wallop to the extant barn storming' craze. writes Louis Arms in the St. Louis Republic.
 Z We will stop this masquerading,' says he. What the public wants is more quality and less quantity of baseball 2
 If Ban Johnson were president of the United States he would be called an opportunist. and magazine editors would wear out typewriter ribbons telling him where to head in. There is a psychological finish to everything g Ban B. does when he orders a bottle of wine. He says what you think. And you are so pleased that someone has said what you think that you give him double credit
 eeBarnstorming' is a travesty on major league baseball. It is in tune with the general get-rich7quick ob- session that perceptibly has lowered the standard of professional base ball. <

Johnny Dundee Has
 Narrow Escape From
 Getting Big Suspension

New York, Nov. 2-The5 State Box ing Commission held aZ long session yesterday. The two men comprising Chairman Fred swenck and Major John J. Dixon -quizzed many boxers and their managers and decided many complicated cases.
 Scottys Monteith. the, manager of Johnny Dundee, the lad who earned the popular decision over Willie Ritchie. just escaped having the Scotch -Wop'' suspended for thirty days, because of Monteit4a's action in delaying the Rftchie-Dundee bout twenty-five minutes.
 Commissioner Wenck said that Monteith,s explanation for causingsthe delay that Dundee be suspended from boxing in this state for, at least one month.
 But Major Dixon was in lenient mood and prevailed on Wenck from enforcing this penalty by saying that Dundee himself was not to blame for the hold-up in time and that Dundee had always given entire satisfaction to the Afstic fans by his good work in the ring: Monteith was then hand ed a reprimand-

Yale Columbia Boat Race Is
 First Meeting of Crews Since 1874.

New Haven, Nov. 2--Forx the first lime since July 14, 1875, Yale will meet Colurnbia in a rowing race this fall The event has been scheduled as a preliminary to the YaIe-Prince- ton football game, which will be play ed in the Eli Bowl. two weeks from today. The rowing race is billed to be rowed on New Haven harbor Fri day afternoon November 12.
 The course on New Haven harbor is at times in the fall squa1ly and rough water may compel a postpone ment of the event. If the race can not be rowed Friday afternoon, an at tempt will be made for it ito take place Saturday morning. November I 3, 2 few hours before the. Ya1e-Prince- ton football bout.

There was also danger that the presence of the large crowd at one of the sources of water supply might prove unsanitary..
 The course laid out on New Ha- ven harbor is one and seven-ei ghtf1s miles in length, and is part of the four-nile course. extending from Long Wharf out toward Lighthouse Point, over which the Yale oarsnen do their spring training

SAY TOM SHEvLIN CAN MAKE WINNER
 OF YALE ELEVEN

Nelson s. Talbot, captain of last years Yale eleven and at present one of the assistants to Frank Hinkey.. said last night that it had not been definitely determined just what coaching position rom Shevlin would hold when he arrived at New Haven today. He did not think there. was any probability of Shev1in deposing Hinkey as head coach
 He said Shevlin and the other coaches who have been called to New Haven were sent for in the hope that new blood in the coaching staff might give more confidence to the eleven. If Shevlin did assume full control it would be Llon1y at the so- 1icitation of Frank Hinkey and Cap tain Alexander Wilson. Talbott had little to say as to whether Hinkey would beyretained for another year, it rested almost entirely with the in coming captain
 TaIbott Remarked that Shev1in was one who could instiH wonderful en- 4husiasm among the men as was proven in 1910 when he came to New Haven as the result of a call similar in character to this one. This en- +husiasm would be great help to the Blue and Taibott seemed, conf- dent that Yale might redeem her self in the latter game of the season. He considered that two or three days would tell whether the Yale team was to profit from it's new Instructors. From reliable although unofficial sources, it became known last night that Frank Hinkey will not return to Yale ah head football coach next sea- son, although his contract has another season to run.
 It also became known that Har- ward and Princeton asked that Harry Legore and the four other members of the Yale nine be restored to- eligi-@ bi1ity- They will be reinstated dur ing the winter and will. play baseball for Yale next spring, fa1though 4Le- gore and Easton will not play football this fall

 Howell Van Nostrand. quarter back of the freshman eleven last season, was declared eligible. and it is likely that tomorrow Bob Bingham. the former Exeter quaFser back. will also regain his eligibility. The acquisition Of these two stars will relieve the sit uation at quarter back and make it. possible for Captain Alec Wilson to be placed at half back. Both Van Nos trand and Bingham are clever field generals and remarkably efficient drop kickers Van Nostrand will probably do Yale's goal and distance bunting in the reaining games of the season
