AFTER FINE CARD
Mike Doran After Yoakum- Condon Bout For Next IIenOX A. C. Exhibi- tion-Mack May Meet Rocco.

The mana cement of the Lenox A. C. of Meriden is dickering for a star bout for it's next show, that should in the event of it's being completed be one of the greatest battles ever held in the state. The matchmaker is trying to secure Stanley Yoakum the Joe Grim of the present crop of lightweights to face Harry Condon. Yoakum is a stranger in these parts, but his record is we'll known to the followers of fistania. Not champion by any means, but a battler that usu- ally satisfies and with another battler of the same type in front of him, Condon, the mill should outclass any ever held in the state when punch and courage is included.
 Another mill that is in the works, is a battle between Young Mack of Meriden and Joe Rocco of Hartford. These boys have been angling for a crack at each other for some time the matter of supremacy having been the bone of contention for a long time. Mack is in fine condition, having talk en a needed rest and his friends are confident that he can dispose of Rocco by the k. o. route. Joe recently cele brated his return to the ring by de- cisively walloping one of Rhode Isl
 and's aspirants for honors in the pu- gilistic world.

Princeton's Schedule.

Princeton football, having fallen into a rut of late years, might help to start a revival by a, new schedule ar rangement The addition of Michi- gan or Pennsylvania to the Tiger schedule next fall might help more than a mere mite.
 Both Penn and Michigan even when their material is not of the high est order have systems that are worth observing. And the best way to profit from any football system is to play against it, and so gather information first hand, or first foot, as the case might be.
 Rush has made an advance, despite the Tiger showing, but Princeton hasn't yet been soaked heavily enough in the right sort of football know ledge. A Penn or a Michigan game would help in this direction.

COLGATE NOT DROPPED.
Yalc Asks Upstate Eleven to Play
 On Earlier Date.

Hamilton, N. Y, Dec. 12.-F. M. Jones, graduate manager of Colgate, denies that Colgate is to be dropped by Yale next season. He admits, how ever, that Yale is anxious to play on an unusually early date.
 A strange incident arose in the award of the block letters to the Col gate varsity. Only eleven men of the squad of fifty three received their let ters, this being due to the fact that the eleven was so well trained that in three of the most important games of the season-Illinois Yale and Syra- cuse-no more than twelve men were used, Bankart sendinly only one sub- stitute, Eek, ha1fback, into the lll1- nOis and Yale games, while agalnst Syracuse there were no substitutes:
 The team will assemble, shortly for the election of a captain. Carl An derson, quarterback; Belfort West. tackle, and Charley Hubbell are riv- als for the position

The Efetcncss of Prosperity

To arrange the best possible battle in sight, boxing promoters are being forced to call upon two countries in a war that is draining the nations.
 Georges Carpenter from France and Les Darcy from Australia now look to be the two greatest fighters in the world, barring only Willard's mighty bulk.
 The United States(, with the nation intact and it's full quota to draw upon, has no great heavyweight fighter except Willard, whose chief claim to greatness in battle is six feet, six inches, weighing 28O pounds. Willard, therefore, is more of an impregnable fortress than a storming party on at- tack.
 One of the things that exceeding prosperity doesn't develop is tough ness of fibre and general hardihood. These rarely come, save with ad- NerSity.

INDIANS TO PLAY HARVARD
Redskins Are Added to Crimson
 Schedule Three Colleges Arc Dropped-New Captain is Popular.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 12.-Har- wards football schedule for 1917, Whlch IS now in the making, but which will not be completed for some time, will show a considerable shake up among the teams that were on the llst last season. Although Capt. Wheeler will have many old players as the nucleus for his eleven, the Harvard football committee, backed by Percy Haughton, has decided that next years schedule will not be so hard as that through which the team played last season.
 Among the important changes which one of the coaches yesterday said would take place in the rear rangement of the schedule will be the dropping Of Cornell, Virginia and North Carolina. A game with the Carlisle Indians will be arranged for the week between the Princeton and Yale games. Only few details re- main to clinch the contest. The In dlans were dropped from Harvard's s management at that time announcing that the Redskins were too strong. Tufts will be played next season two weeks earlier than in this season, and Bowdoin will enter the schedule as an early opponent
 There was general satisfa ction throughout the university today over the election of Walter H. Wheeler as captain of the 1917 eleven. Wheeler Is favorite with his fellow students and the faculty. The new captain has something of a creditable record outside of his career on the gridiron and in the class room. Last year as soon as the midyear examinations were over Wheeler and Julian La throp, his roommate, left college and boarded a tramp steamer for Europe, They plunged into war work and while the battle along the Verdun front was raging they put in six months with the American Am bulance Corps. Wheeler won the French Croix de Guerre for bravery under fire

 The reports that MT McAdoo would leave the official family of President Wilson have been persistent, even in the face of informal statements at the White House that they were base1ess.

McAdoo had been instructing MT. Glass in the duties at the treasury. Another was that MT. McAdoo would remain in the cabinet until the lease of his Washington residence expired, some time next year.

Inasmuch as the players will be paid their regular salaries dur ing the series, the bonuses offered while not large, are fair and as much in recent years would warrant.

 It was decided that it would be better to include the players of the entire winning league in the purse, rather than the eight clubs having the Class A club owners hope to make the tailend players fight as hard for games as the players comprising the first division teams The club own CTS of both leagues are most en- thusiastic over the series, and pre- dict it will go far to revive interest in Class A baseball which existed war.

CUBA MAY GET
 OLYMPIC GAMES
Offer of CubanS Said to Be Accept
 able to Committee

New York. Dec. 12.-The next Olympic games may be held under thsl shade of the sheltering palms. Cuban sportsmen have been correspondingl with Baron Pierre de Coubertin, pres-1 ident of the International Olym picj committee, and the French nobleman.j according to a despatch received atl the local A. A. U. offices yesterday, has notified President Menocal of Cuba that Havana may be granted the] privilege of conducting the Olympic| games in 1920.
 The Baron writes that no decisive action can be taken until the nQ@T meeting of the international Olympia committee, which will not convened until after the world war is over and peace is declared.
 He hints. however, that if Cuba would guarantee to provide a sta- dium suitable for the holding of the great international carnival and would assure sum large enough to defray the expenses attending the games, the Olympic committee prob i ably would favorably consider the ap- plication. Stockholm, Sweden, also has signified it's desire of holding thej next Olympiad. Sportsmen in Clevet land and Boston also have written Baron de Coubertin in an effort to, corral the games for their respective cities.
 President Menocal has appointed al committee of prominent citizens and reputable sporting men to consider the matter. among them being the owner of the Almendares ball parh and MT. Brett. owner of the Havan9( Post. There are several open spaced in Havana where a stadium suitable for the great international carnival could be effected. One of the sites is near the Malecon. opposite the cityi prison, and the other is the spacious Almendares ball grounds. which is only fifteen minutes ride from the heart of Havana. The famous Cuban
 ball park is almost twice the size og the Polo grounds and is situated just
 below El Principe, the national prison.

TIGERS CUT RUTGERS.
Princeton Decides Jersey Eleven Too
 Strong For Early Season.

New Brunswick, Dec. 11.-Football relations between Rutgers and Prince ton have been broken off owing to the strength of the Rutgers team. Prince ton has notified the local college that the Tigers do not want such & hard game before the big games of the sea- son. They already have Dartmouth in the early part of the year.
 There was no game between the two this year, but this was thought to be only temporary, as Princeton had only one date, that of the Rutgers 150th anniversary celebration, and Rutgers wanted a home game then. There seems to be no chance of a game, however, unless Princeton is willing to play the Saturday before Thanksgiving, after it's games with Yale and Harvard.
 Rutgers will try to schedule Col gate in place of Princeton for next year. Attempts are also being made to get middle western game.

CARPENTER WRITES
Georges Sends Ricl1ard Word of His Intention to Come to This Country -Tcrlns Arc Acceptable.

New York, Dec. 12.-The rather alarming silence maintained by Georges Carpenter, heavyweight champion of Europe, in reference to boxing in this city in the near fu- ture was broken yesterday when Messrs. Rickard and McCracken re- ceived a cablegram that seems to give assurance of his appearance in the ring in this city
 Carpenters message indicated clearly that he had received the con- tract sent to him by Rickard and carefully had noted it's contents. He objected to two clauses in the docu- ment, however, one pertaining to training expenses and the other to the moving picture receipts. In the contract the sum of 5000 francs was set down for the F'renchman's train ing expenses and he suggested that this amount be increased to 5000 francs He also asked for a certain percentage of the moving picture profits.
 Rickard and McCranken made haste to reply by cable that the changes asked by Carpenter in the contract would readily be acceded to and that they could be inserted by the boxer.
 It therefore remains only for Car pentier to sign the contract and re- turn to the prom oters in order to make certain one of the most spec tacular boxing matches ever held in America.
 It is hinted that Carpenter will ar rive very shortly after his contract reaches the promoters as he will need considerable training in this climate previous to a hard ring battle

''in her four big games-Illinois, Syracuse, Yale and BroWn-ten of Colgate's s eleven regulars played straight through without the necessity arising for them to be rested As the five linemen were outweighed fifteen pounds to the man by Yale, twenty pounds to the man by Syracuse and twelve pounds to the man by Brown, this showing is well beyond the ordi- nary, showing the exceptionally fine fibre and stamina of the Colgate team.
