Benny Leonard to
 Meet Soakem Yoakum
 as In Harlem Tonight

New York, Nov. 10.-The big pugil- ktic bout at the Harlem Sporting club tonight is the thing in the sporting line that is being freely discussed. Stanley Yoakum, the Denver light weight, who has travelled over 2,O0O miles to exhibit his pugilistic ability here, announces that he is ready for the bell to ring that will start him pn the ten-round journey with Benny Leonard, the bride of all Harlem. I" md the "app1e of Billy Gibson's both eyes"
 If there was ever a boxer who has fuggedness, it's this new lad, Soak 'em Yoakum who invades the heart of Leonard's domain toN show it "at he expense of Leonard" as Yoakum puts it.
 Looking over the record book one gan see the namet of Nelson, Welsh, Dundee, White and Joe Rivers as the prominent boxers, whom Yoakum has btook off in 20-round bouts. These boxers are of no mean calibre by any means, and perhaps who can tell. Maybe Yoakum will be tartar that Leonard will strike after all. Ever fnce Benny returned from the West. Fhere he knocked out Ever Hammer, 10th Leonard and Gibson have gain Id the impression that Benny can mock them all out. YoakuIn has net all the above topliners, whereas Leonard has fought only two of them tnd Yoakum has always managed to answer the bell for the final round.

CHEER PRINCETON ELEVEN
 HOPE FOR VICTORY

Princeton, N. J., Nov. -Cheered by almost the whole student body the Princeton football team yesterday took it's last strenuous practice before the Harvard game Saturday. The under graduates paraded around the field and then took their places in the big stadium and watched their warriors go through dummy scrimmage and signal drill.
 In the early part of the afternoon all plays which Rush expects to sur prise Harvard with were run off in secret. The eleven displayed a dash which speaks we'll for it's fighting spirit. They are all in the best of humor, and are reasonably confident of the issue.
 Rush did not let down in the work as much as was expected on the last day that the Tigers have at home. There was a long signal drill and a short dummy scrimmage, all of which followed a stiff lesson in fundamen- tals. The coaches are doing their best to eliminate fumbling and faulty tack ling.
 It seemed from the lineup that Tib- bolt will not be in at the start of the fray with Harvard. His place will be taken by Moore, who has earned his place through sheer ability, even over and above Tibbott's drop kicking value. Moore can also be used at placement kicks, as he is getting them over with regularity in recent prac- tices. Brown will be the other half back and Driggs is a fixture at full back.

Capt. Flanagan of the Chain forces will change his line in a few places. He expects to give the visitors a hard fight. The Humphries say they will have a number of college stars in their lineup. There will be a good preliminary game to amuse the fans. The main game will be called at 3 o'clock.

There is plenty of good talent on the card so the fans are assured of a live ly evenings entertainment. The main bout, a 15 round affair between Young Rector of New York and Young McAuliffe of this city, has been attracting widespread attention.

Dave Carver. manager of John Noonan of the Acorn A. c. will be at the ringside to chal- lenge the winner.
 The local boy is planning to sur- prise the wise ones, however He has been training hard and as he has improved considerably since last sea- son he may be able to defeat Rector. The weight is 126 at o'clock.

GUY MORTON OF CLEVELAND TEAk
 HAS ARM FIXED

Cleveland, Nov. 10 = Bonesetter Reese snapped Morton's arm back in place and he's going to make Cleve- land a pennant contender and possi- ble winner in 1917. This information. came from James c. Dunn, president and part owner of the Cleveland In- dians, as he chatted of his clubs pros poets for next season. :t'/
 Morton is one of the slab freaks of the world of baseball and a rival of Walter Johnson for terrific speed. Few persons may know it. but Mor-, ton pitched with a crooked arm,"' said Dunn. Tt seems to be double Missouri river.''
 singled out by Fielder Jones as the best southpaw of the American league, has pitched for several years with a crooked arm which has become more bent as Reb has labored to help win a flag for the South Side and Co.,, miskey. Morton's arm deformity, like that of Russell, is probably anl asset, not liability. Russell with his arm bent almost to right angles at times just finished successful sea- son., The Texas Ranger might have won a flag for Chicago had he not suffered from a sprained ankle.
 Like Russell, Morton won fame as hurler despite his unnatural arm. He early leaped into prominence as a rival of Johnson. Washington's great speed ball pitcher.
 "One would imagine Morton could never get control of the ball with an arm like he carries" said Dunn. "A photograph of the bread winner re- veals a picture out of all proportions to the natural pitching arm of a star. Perhaps that is just what gives Nor ton his power" N

 It is understood the veteran Indian twirler Chief Bender, is to follow Chalmers and McQuillen. In his plans for next season Manager Moran says he is depending on two youngsters Oesehger and Baumgardner-to help Alexander, Demaree and Rixey round out the Quaker pitching staff. "I ex- pect to use Oeschger as a regular next season." said Moran, "wi1he I believe Baumgardner's' year in Providence as worked wonders for him.

HARVARD SUSPECTS.
 TIGERS WILL HAVE ' SURPRISE ATTACK

; CAmbrddge, Mass, Nov. 1o.-The Harvard football team is now ready to 20, into the Princeton game tomor- row. Yesterdays drill was the last before the match, as today there will he just a little limberdng up before the Held is turned over to the Princeton keann. which will arrive here in the afternoon.
 The squad was out early, the coach es putt1ng the finishing touches on the pcsttton play, the kickers going through long drill, and then the reRulars and first substitutes lining t1p against each other for 4 short ecrimnage in which the new plays planned for the Tigers were worked out to the general satisfaction of the coaches. Later the Stadium was opened to the undergraduates. who, saw the team drill on D6ays for the first time except before the game.
 There was a lot of enthusiasm, the students trooping to the field with their band, and all of the Varsity players being cheered to the echo. The Varsity ran through its offense as 1t did yesterday, with Murray still at quarter, Horween at half back, and Snow at right guard. fHorween ham dled himself we'll, and his kicking is said to be as good as it was before he was hurt.
 Snow, although he weighs 12 pounds less than Clark, is a 20O-pounder, and as he has played with the team three years and is finding himself he is ex- pected to put up a stalwart game against the experienced Jersey line Saturday. Robinson has a lame leg and cannot play this week, although hopes are entertained of his return in time to fit himself for the game against Yale two weeks hence.
 After the Varsity had finished it's work the Freshmen and Varsity bcrubs played short match, and then the 'Varsity coaches made up a team md ran up and down the field, much so the amusement of the crowd. liar yard is very confident that 1t can win he Princeton game, althopgh this years team is not rated as nearly so good as last years team, which had LII it could do to beat Princeton 10 to E The reason for the Crimson's great confidence is apparently, that the beaches consider fhe Tigers not so Jtrong as they were in 1915, and also That the team made up of veterans will not be able to come up to top form quickly after slump which has lasted about three weeks.
 Harvard, however, while it feels yure 1t can stop the Tigers attack, as thown in Princeton's games this year, believes that Rush will have some h1ng radical in the way of an attack Also, the fact that Harvard's defense has had no test in the past month oc- sasions some little misgivings.

 Now that, Proxy Wilson has ripped through the Hughes cohorts for a touchdown the football fans can put their minds on the choice gridiron menu which is announced for tomor- row. The Harvard-Princeton match at Cambridge will occupy the center of the stage. Mainly because Haugh- toms coaching is feared, Harvard will go into the game a favorite. It is a fact, however, that the Crimson eleven is composed of material inexperienced in big games while the Princeton play CTS are veterans. The Tigers have shown no strong attack this year and it will be a surprise if they display any power tomorrow.
 The usual big delegation will go from this city to see the Yale-Brown contest It should be remembered that this game will start at ? o'clock in- stead of 2:3O as on previous Saturdays. Although Yale will use many substi- tutes, Coach Jones expects to get enough points to pull out a victory. The Pennsylvania-Dartm engage ment at Philadelphia ought to provide some thrills and also the Cornell Michigan encounter at Ithaca is also regarded as promising.

 Eddie Mahan. the old Harvard star and also a Wilson campaigner, has been coaching the University of Cali fornia eleven. He must have used some of Percy Haughton's tactics to help the President carry the state.
 Dave F'ultz's request that the base ball players contracts be changed was received almost cordially by Chairman Hermann of the National Commission. Outside of saying ''This request on the paSt of MT. Fultz is wholly unwarranted and unca1led for and creates a false impression in the minds of the baseball public" Herr mann didn't get very sore at F'u1tz. Guy Nickal1s, the Yale rowing coach, is the first one to say a kind work for Derby in any years. He is quoted as remarking, This is the one spot I have seen in this country for a. real regatta course" Vaudeville comedians with their quips and jests had better lay off Derby.
