NICKALLS DOESN'T
 BLAME CREW FOR
 COL LUMBlA DEFEAT


 New York Nov. 19-Coach Guy Nicka1ls, of the Yale varsity crews reviews the Yale-Columbia race of Nov. 12 in the current number of the Yale Alumni Weekly. and in writing about the collapse of No. in the Yale boat, says:
 TsIn my experience of 35 years of rowing I have never seen any case like it and might live for another 35 years and never see the like again. It was one of those unaccountable, ur1- preventable misfertunes which do happen sometimes, Of a. nervous dis to prevent digestion of his luncheon (this I have often experienced him. self, but know how to reedy). Added to this wsLs the getting cold and the extreme nervous tension of the long wait before the race the ac- cumulative effect of which was to foster the violent cranpings which eventually laid him out
 .'However game man is, he can not display it when unconscious, and the very fact that he rowed himself into such a condition when in pain needs only to be mentioned to prov@ the spectators to the drama will surely bear me out fully in tfis.''
 MT. NickaI1s also says: ssThe main point in the race to be noted is that in six minutes rowing, Columbia rowed 30 strokes more than Yale and yet had only a narrow four-footr ad- vantage for all the extra labor and fatigue; that is, that 31s Yale strokes were worth as much and drove their craft as far and as fast as 35 Colum- bia strokes did theirs.

CANVAS OVALS ON HARVARD JERSEYS
 TO BE PROTESTED


 New York, Nov 19-When the Yale And Harvard football teams meet at Cambridge tomorrow it is understood that Tom ShevIin will enter a protest against the Crimson players wearing 4ne tan ofvals of canvas on their jer- geys which they wore at Princeton Jungle. and he got a pretty good idea caused bK the close resem bIance of the canvas ovals to 9 football.
 Percy Haughton asserts that his players wear the canvas in order that fhey might more easily eIude tack1ers. He found that the regular jerseys gave the other fellows too much loose Gtnm upon which to get a hold. and he tried out the. old canvas vests N which football players effected years 9Ago. These he found confined the players action too much, and the canvas sovals were devised. In liar vardss nazfn erous shift plays the new device flor e1uding tach1ers'' hides Agfhe ball rather effectively, and Yale H|&laan1xs it ought to be dispensed .gvfth-
 HaAgh4on no doubt got his idea |kGrozn Glenn Warne- who one year 9pT0az9nt the Carlisle Indians to Cam 4@3r4dEs with each player wearing something that resenb1ed a football on his chest. Haughton immediately protested that if the Indians wore that dece<vfng 2rega1fa in the game he would use a footba1f painted blue. Warner accordingly ordered the footba7isr discarded

New Haven, Nov. Standing of fers~ of $50 each for single tickets and sI25 for two. tickets together at3 the YaIe-Harvard ganes tom orrow, were Some of them have crossed almost the entire continent expecting to be able to seeureg in some way. admission spasteboards only to find the supply at Yale absolutely drained. i, A new system of ticket distrib ution went into effect this year at Yale whereby the entire allotment here was sent out nearly a week earlier than usual This has made the struggle for tickets fercer than ever before, and for the past three or four days it has waged terrific. It is known that as high as $150 has been paid for two tickets together and that block Sof four good tickets together brought $4O0.
 A fair supply of tickets has found it's way into the hands Of speculators here. indicating, of course failure of the anti-sp ecu1ation laws here as well as in Massa chusetts to become effec- tive at this time. While no tickets are offered for sale in public places here, plenty can be secured from the curb specula tors.
 s Never, however, was the scarcity of the pasteboards as great or the pElCeS OH0TeO TOT them, puD11Cly and privately. as high as at present. It was estimated by the "Ya1e Daily News yesterday that 100000 people applied for tickets to the game and that about a half million have in- formally asked for tickets. Under the cfrcu instances <only about one of the ten who started plans to go to the game will be in the crowd of 48.- 900 in the Stadium at kick-off to- morrow. A

 As there are about 40, ,0oo grad uates of Harvard and about 2O. .oOO alumni of Yale, aside from the 500 undergradua,tes of Harvard and the $500 of Yale, 1t is evident that only about one out of every two on the alumni list applied for even one ticket.

 Marked interest was. shown in the business meF'ss class under the lead ershfp of Ray Culver of Yale, who outlined his course and began the first of the series. Rev. Kenneth Mackenzie opened the 18th year of his class with an enrolment larger than ever. In addition to these, Thomos F.

SYRACUSE ELEVEN
 WILL TAKE JAUNT
 TO PACIFIC COAST

7 Syracuse. Nov. 19- Just as soon as the Syracuse football squad finishes it's dinner after the game with Dart mouth on Saturday. it will leave on a western trip. Eight players will make the. trip under Assistant Coach Horr, who will be in charge instead of Buck O'Nei1. The Iatter's duties at Syra- cuse are likely to end with the Dart mouth contest, as he desires to give up coaching.
 The jaunt will cover about 900 miles and will take about three weeks The first game will beep1ayed with the University of Montana, on Thanks giving day, and the. second will be with the Oregon AgGesI at Portlnad on December1. The final battle will be fought against the Occidental Col lege at Los Angeles on Decem Der f.
 The game with the Oregon Aggies will be watched by Eastern football followers more. closely than tile other two, on account of the showing the Apple Growers showed in whipping the Michigan Aggies after the latter had mau1ed Michigan. On compar;a- tive scores, the Oregon eleven looks to be the stronger than Syracuse, but Syracuse is favored to win. Syracuse,s trip comes at an appropriate time, when the question of football stren gth on the coast Is a prominent one.

FIGHT AT ACORN A. c.
 ROUGH. AND TUMBLE ONE
1Bx "o1d Man Gru1np.")

In other words three of the four bouts provided for the entertainm enr of 500 fight fans at the Acorn A. c. last night were rep1ete with flying tackles and Ntrips that represented. a wrestling bout rather. than a boxiAg g exhibition. Thomas Connery was the third man in the ring but at that, he is not to be censured as he re- peated1y warned the fighters. The most disgusting bout of the evening was the one between Jimmy Snyder of the Acorn A. c. and Dick Gill of the North End.
 Just before the final bell Snyder floored Gill with a, left to the solar p1exus and Dick was carried to his corner gasping for wind ~ From the clang of the first gorS Snyder re sorted to rough house tactics that might go at a, roundup celebration in Wyoming but was not fit to be pushed over on the fight fans of this city.
 Gill is a good clever young boxer and if Snyder. had fought squarely he would have been cut to ribbons by the North Finder.
 Three times during the fight last night Snyder fouled Gill and it is even the opinion of some spectators that the ttbIow'' which credits Snyder with a K.O. was also below the belt.
 The. star bout brought together Young Bosse and Andy Koches of New York. the latter alleged to be a sparring partner of Willie Richie. Bosse had it on Kochea all the way. It was a good bout with plenty of ac- tion. Tn the senli-fna1 Willie Con don of the Acorn A. C., went four fast rounds to a. draw with .Char1ey Mccarthy, champion lightweight of Canada. In the curtain raiser Will lie Andrews knocked Young Stoney of New York in the third stanza-
 There was plenty of cabaret enter tainment and among the singers who 1 were encored again and again were Harry Morrissey and Jack McDon- ough. The latter was enco1ed until he had to beg to be excused. Ii would do the promoters of the Acorn club a great deal of good if they l would let Snyder warm the bench for another month or two. It will be for the good of the game.
 The officials of the evening were Tom Connery, referee. Mike O'Con- nor, timekeoper and Slim Brennan 1 announcer.

ANNIVERSARIES A
 OF RING BATTLES

1894Jack McAu1iffe and Owen zieg- Ter boxed three rounds to a draw at Coney Island This bout, staged at the Atlantic A. O.. was the last ring appearance of McAuliffe, the light weight champion, until 1896, when he boxed friendly exhibition with Kid Lavigne and announced his retirement from the game. the Saginaw Kid talk ing up the lightweight burden After the little session with Zieg1er, Will liansburg Jack lost interest in boxsng and devoted his entire attention to wagering his coin on the proposition that one hoss can rut faster than an- other MeAunffe was undefeated to the end of his ring career, but he had several narrow escapes, and, in the whipped by. lem Carney, the English champion, in the famous 74-round bout in 1857 Ziegler, a Pennsylvanian, had 8 ring career of nearly 20 years, and was long rated a topnotcher among the ightweights.
 19O6-Digger Stanley and Wa11y Mor- gan fought six-round draw in Lon don.
 18s8-Jaelz Moffatt and Pete Powers fought six-reund draw in Chicago.
 1897-Tofn Sharkey knocked out Joe Goddard in six rounds at San Francisco. Goddard, ''the Barrier Champion,'' was an Australian, who 
 ski in his native country before Iand- ing in America. Besides his defeats of the famous San Francisco Jew, Goddard had fought a., draw with the great Peter Jackson. His first bat ties on this side were successful, but he found the Sailor more than he could masticate. It had been claim ed that Goddard couldn't be fel1ed by anything less than the blow of an ax or the kick of mule, but Sailor Tom demonstrated that the trick was not so difficult. after all In 1900 sharkey repeated in. Philadelphia knocking Godda11 out in the fourth round. Goddard twice knocked out Peter Maher, but he lost to Denver Ted Snf4&h, Kid McCoy and Gus Ruh- Iia. Fo1n Sharkey and Denver Ed were tlae only men who ever made Goddard take the count, and Joe af- tegwaEa dafeated Smith.

 FINE SEND0F:F

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 19.-Yale's parting ovation to its football squad called outl 300 undergraduates and alumni yesterday afternoon, The proT cession formed at Byers hall, behind t:le biggest brass band in SoWns and escorted the players to the railroad station. The cheering was led by the crew captain, Seth Low, and Manager Dan Elkin. Several hundred under graduates left for Boston yesterday, many going on the same express train with the players, which was stopped at Auburndale, near the woodland Park hotel, their training quarters
 Before the eleven departed the coaches said that the lineup an nounced last night was official, in cluding seven ends, eleven tackles, five guards, three centres, five quarter backs, seven half backs, and two full backs. This is the largest squad ever taken to Cambridge.
 One of the candidates for end is Charley Taft, son of ex-President Taft. who stands next to Gates and Baldwin in the substitute list and is almost certain to get his ''Y'' by be- ing put into a late period of play His father will not be present to witness his sons playing because of an en- gagement to speak in the Baptist Tenn pie in Philadelphia
 Cambridge, Mass, Nov. I9-The Yale football team, entrenched almost within. sight of the stadium, and the HarvaroA forces, bivouaced not many miles away, gave themselves to phys icaI rest today and tried to obtain a, calm mental poise in preparation for the football classic tomorrow. En- couraged by it's somewhat unexpected victory over Princeton last Saturday, Yale approached the final contest Of the season with more confidence than was regarded possible 10 days ago. On the other hand! the Harvard back CTS, although recognizing the strength and resourcefulness of their opponent. were fairly certain that the crimson not only would make it four straight wins, but would keep the Harvard goal line. across which no blue foot has scampered in seven years, stiu uncrossed.
 The kicking departments of the two teams were regarded as about on am equality although some football fol- lowers seemed to feel that AGaaan has a trifie the better punter and that Guernsey was somewhat surer in field goal shots.

Tom Davis, superintendent of the mine, who sat at his right hand, clad in blue overalls and with coal dust ground into the wrinkles of his face, meanwhile do- ing full justice to the beefsteak beans and mashed potatoes, was engaged in a running conversation by MT. Rockefeller. MT. Rockefeller visited a school at- tended by the miners children.
 They do not sing very well, sir,' apol- ogized the pretty school ma'm. You see, they have just started and haven't t had time to learn much And then they are so little a.f ftai4
 
 D. Rockefeller, Jr. And 60 sons and daughters of Berwind and Tabasco min CTS of an average age of years and of perhaps a dozen nationalities sang Justify, in good United States, the song in which they had been carefully drilled.
 Then MT. Rockefeller made a espeech to the school children. He told them to study hard and obey their teacher. 'T have six children myself" continued the oil magnate. Sometimes they are not as mannerly as you seem to be-"
 MT. Rockefeller asked the miners and their wives how they were satisfied with the houses they rented from the com pany, how much rent they paid and whether they thought the houses were worth the money.
 Why don't you have a garden?" he de- manded of one miner. You could fix this place up so 1t would look much bet ter"
 MT. Rockefeller was accompanied on the trip by President J. F. Welborn and other officers of the company.
