ELEPHANT, ARMY
STAR, WILL PLAY
3 SEASONS MORE

New York, Nov, 25-Pleasant news
for the Navy and other schools whose
football teams are regulars on the
Arny's schedule: Oliphant, the Arny,s
sensational halfback,. will, play three
more years on the West Point team.
"Ollie" as the former Purdue crack
is known among the cadets on the
Hudson, is privileged to stick to the
gridiron for three more seasons and
he is said to feel that he has at least
three years OF top notch football in
his system yet. He loves the game
for games sake and although gefer-
ally credited with being the star Of
the east this year, he is not sure that
he has reached the zenith of his pos
sible class. ~
When TOllie' lays away his suit and
headgear. for good he will have play
ed more than four years on the cadet
team, but in doing SO he will not be
setting precedent. Boyers, FARMS
worth and Weyand have gone beyond
the four year limit in football service
at the government institution, and
every one of them was at his best in
his final years. Oliphant is excep-
tionally young in years for a player
of such long service and wide expert
ence, and eastern experts believe he
is yet to show his best on the grid
iron.

Johnny Harvey Hands
Bad Beating to Duffy

New York, Nov. 25-Two bull ter
riers never fought more furiously than
did Johnny Harvey and Jimmy Duffy,
New York lightweights, at the Har-
lem Sporting Club last night. Duffy
was beaten thoroughly, yet at the
sound Of the final gong he was fight
ing like soldier in the last ditch.
Bleeding from mouth and nose and
painting both from his own exertions
and the pummeling he had received,
he stood toe to toe with his adversary
and never stopped punching until the
bell ended the fight. '
Although Harvey won the battle yet
a plum colored right eye was proof
that he had not escaped unhurt The
contest was in no sense boxing
match. 1t was test Of endurance

of scientific boxing, but who aae

that the, young men at West Point

branches. =
Though the Army Navy game falls
upon the same day as the annual

not on speaking terms.

lightweight champion of Connecticut,
was held to draw by Charley Pitts
Of Bridgeport before the Federal A. G.
here last night. Kunz and Pitts fought
toe to toe throughout, both landing
hard and clean punches. There was
little to choose between them at the
termination Of the tenth round. There
were no knockdowns.
Pitts used his left hand to great ad-g
vantage, scoring majority of his
points by this method Of attack. Kunz
showed to his best in the infighting.
The fight made such a distinct hit
with the fans that the boys were iiu-s
medfately rernatched for a bout next

EAST EXCELLED IN
STRUGGLES WITH
WESTERN PLAYERS

New York, Nov. 25-Barring the
Pasadena precinct, where Pennsyl-
vania meets the University of Oregon
eleven on New Years day, the returns
on Eastern VS.. Western fotball are all
about in, and they show something
like a landslide for the gridiron gladia-I
tors Of this section OF the six games
played to date by teams from the East
and, Middle West only one has gone
against the Fasteners and that by
the narrow margin of one point.
These games may prove nothing in
particular as regards the relative mer-
it's of the football teams in this sec
ton and those in the Middle West.
However, they lead to the belief that
the best in the East is a few degrees
better than the best that the Middle
West can offer this year. The six
Eastern teams and the four from the
| West to engage in these intersectional
| conflicts this season are fairly repre-
sentatives All except one from this
section, the Army eleven, has been de-
feated by another Eastern team, yet
all rank big in this section.
| The same goes for the Westerners
in their section. The only defeat
charged against an Eastern team was
against Syracuse, Michigan defeating
| Bill Hollenback's eleven, IA to 13.
| Against this one setback the East can
show five victories, three very close
and two by decisive scores. Cornell
won from Michigan, % to 20, and
Penn from the same team, 10 to Z.
Tufts had little to spare in winning
4 from Indiana, ~ to 10. The more
decisive victories were by Colgate ofer
Illinois, 10 to 8. and by West Point
over the Notre Damqteam. 80 to TO-.
1t usually happens THAT each; section
is able to win a few games, but this
year the East has taken about all the
honors. Four Of the six games were
played ION the home gridirons of the
Western elevers, which makes the
| success of the Fasteners all the more
! praiseworthy.

TENER SAYS STRIKE WOULD
Be SERIOUS FOR PLAYERS
Does Not Believe Men Should Quit Because of
Trivial Dispute. 14s

New York, Nov. 25--''Should the
major league players declare strike
because of the refusal Of the National
Association to grant certain demands
requested by the Players Fraternity,
1t will he a strike not against the Ma
tional Commission, but against the
very game Of baseball ITSELF" said
President John *. Tener Of the Ma
tiona1 Leage yesterday in reply to
Dave Fultz's strike threat. F'ultz,
Thursday, said fraternity players will
not sign contracts unless the minor
league concessions are granted.
81 cannot conceive how the players
can talk of a strike in such an issue
continued the former Pennsylvania
executive. Furthermore, it would
be the major league players who
would have to bear the bralrt of such
strike. The class AA and A minors
also protected by the fraternity could
easily sign up sixteen men to the
team, and go ahead with their sched-
ules. That would mean that only
the major league players woiild be idle
and losing their means of livelihood
over a trivial minor league mat
ter.
: "a sympathy strike by big league
players under such circumstances
would be the most foolish and detri-
mental thing the players could do.
For years the National Commission
has done everything possible for the
betterfnert and advancement Of the
big league player. Mr.. F'ultz admits
the National Commission has been
fair and just. I will go even further
than that In all disputes between
players and club owners, the commits
sion invariably leans toward the play
err, SO jealous is 1t that the rights OF
the player be protected.
''I see Fultz finally has dug UP two
contracts which have d clause permit
tingsa club to suspend player with
out pay in the event that he meets
with a baseball injury. The fact
that Fultz can show only two such
contracts is a sermon in itself. 1t
shows to what lengths the commission
goes to protect players and how we
safegard their rights, when only two
such contracts-and both of them ull-
authorized-are in existence
"And the players would strike
against us, who have been their
friends and benefactors! The ma
jor league players strike because OF
some petty minor league grievance! Is
that just and fair? I repeat such a
strike would not be against the club
owners or the National Commission.
but against the basic foundation of
baseball.
"Fultz says his quarrel is with the
commission and only Indirectly with
the National Association. Is that
SO? Chairman Hermann of the

New Haven. Nov. 25--Announce-
meflt was made last night by Manager
Geden OF the Washington Glee club
that the Thanksgiving games for the
city football cham ionship would be
played at the Savin Rock baseball
park as It wee last year when the
Glees and Williams played there.
The money to bind the bargain for
the Eavin Rock park was posted a
couple OF nenths ago and the game
is announced to start at 2:15. Extra
bleachers will be erected and the
grounds are expected to accommodate
the crowd without any trouble.
The announcement last night was
prompted by the reports that have
been going around that the city
championship game might be played
in the Yale Bowl or else in the old
Yale field. The Bowl OF course is
out Of the question and the manage
ments Of the Glees and Annex did not
figure the capacity of the old stands
was large enough anyway.
