WILLIAMS IS EASY
FOR PRINCETON tigers
Nothing to the Game but a Procession
After the Jungaleers Get

Princeton. Oct. 3o-The Williams Col
lege team tried in vain to hold Princeton
at Palmer Memorial Stadium this after
noon. The Tigers rolled up twenty-seven
points without apparent effort. holding
the visitors scoreless.
II looked as IL the Williams boys would
hold their much huskier opponents at the
start Of the game. They held the Tigers
scoreIess in the first quarter. The alb
sence of SO many regulars seemed to dis
CONCERT the team. and IT did not do a
thing during the whole period. This was
due principally to poor leadership by
Snake" Ames. For an experienced foot
ball general he displayed poor headwork,
and 1t was not until Art Blake. a third
string quarter back. was put in that the
team showed any signs of strength.
The Tigers marched down the field for
their first touchdown just a few minutes
before the second period ended
Only once did the Williams team have
a chance to score. With two minutes to
play the ball on Princeton's A-yard line.
La Plante broke away and was not
stopped until he had come within yards
of the coveted goal. An attempted for
ward pass failed. and on the second
down the Tigers recovered the ball
through a tumble. briggs kicked out and

ganization of students at New York Uni
versity yesterday passed a resolution
asking the athletic authorities to insist
that George Brickley. the Trinity foot

rival team which meets n. Y U. next
Tuesday, election day.
Brfckley, who is a brother of the form

danger the amateur status of the track
athletes who are members of the foot
ball team.
Prof. T. F. Jones, chairman Of the
committee of the faculty on athletic re-
lations, received word yesterday that
the case would be taken up for action

Freddy Welsh Slated
To Fight at Ardmore

Harry Pollock the well known man
aCer of Freddy Welsh. the lightweight
champion of the world. has returned
a contract to Manager Jimmy La Fon-
taine of the Maryland Athletic and
Social Club. in which the worlds title
holder agrees to meet the winner of
the Lowe-Jones bout at the Ardmore
Club on Tuesday. November 16.
Tommy Lowe, the local lightweight
battler, was slated to meet Willie
Jo.es, the Brooklyn wildcat" on next
Thursday night, but because of some
misunderstanding this bout will not
be held until November 9.
One week later the winner of this
battle will be pitted against Freddy
Welsh in a fifteen-round decision bout
for the lightweight championship of
the world. This will be Welsh's first
fight since last winter.
The lightweight champion is not
considering either Of these boys as real
opponents, and will use the local talent
to tune up for his finished battle which
he has agreed to give Willie Richie.
the former title holder.
The Lowe-Jones battle, which was
held at the Maryland club a short time
ago, was one Of the best ever wit
messed. These boys will have big
things at stake on this occasion and
even a better battle is predicted.
The local sporting public have not
been giving the Maryland club the
right kind of support, as recently some
of the best battles on record have been
held at Ardmore and Manager La Fon-
tame intends to see how far the local
fistic fans will go, by booking the
lightweight champion with one Of
these talented veterans.
just what guarantee Manager La
Fontaine was compelled to hand out to
bring the champion here is not known.

be true Manager La Fontaine will be

ONLY COACH THAT
HAS PLAYED WITH TEAM

"Hurry-Up'' Yost occupies the unique
position Of being the only football coach
who ever played with his charges in a
regular championship game.
Yost started coaching in 1897, handling
the Ohio Wesleyan team. His squad had
game with Michigan and Yost took
along his whole aggregation-twelve
men. During the game, two OF the wes-
leyan players were injured, leaving Yost
with an incomplete team.
Either the game has got to stop or
you've got to let me get in" said Yost
to the Michigan officials.
After a conference, 1t was decided to
let Yost play-and he did. He rallied
his team. He stiFened the backbones
OF his weary nnesmen and he hammered
the Maize and Blue line to a near-frazzle
every time he ran with the ball
Wesleyan went to Ann Arbor with the
expectation of getting a terrific beating.
1t probably would have without Yost
in the lineup. But Yost got In and the
game ended o to 0, with Michigan con-
sidering itself mighty fortunate that It
wasn't beaten.
Yosts showing as a coach and player
in that game opened the eyes of the
Michigan folks and Just as soon as IL
could 1t hired Yost to handle its teams.

Capital City League Leaders Have
Won Fifteen Straight Games.
Shenk Leads Rollers.

What team will be the first to stop
the victorious march OF the National
Laundry pin spillers toward the PEN
nant in the Capital City Duckpln League?
This is the question now agitating the
minds OF the duckpin enthusiasts OF this
circuit. Up to the present time the
laundrymen have not lost a game, and
have fifteen victories tucked away on
the right side of the ledger.
In every set rolled the team has given
a high-class exhibition. In their lowest
set this season they totaled 1.512 pins.
while their high set, which is also high
for the league, is 1913. Shenk leads his
team with an average of 1915, this being
high average for the league. Loveless,
Mccarthy, and Lakin have averages OF
we'll over 100. and Anchorman Al Work,
who got away with a bad start, lacks
only two, pins, of that mark.
Next week the National Laundry rolls

week following take on the Charles Ho-

and will make strenuous efforts TO break
