 Uncle Sam.

Camp Sherman. Chillicothe, Ohio.. Dec. 1S.-Johnny Kilbane, worlds champion featherweight boxer, who is boxing instructor to the thousands of Ohio and western Pennsylvania se- lects in training here, yesterday took rap at the "han1 and egg" fighters who are hurling de1s at him.
 The Cleveland featherweight says that his would-be opponents would do far more good for Uncle Sam by of- fering their services to the United States to help teach the drafted men how to defend themselves and thus help whip the Hun.
 Kilbane says that before he came to the big cantonment he could not get fight for love or money, and now he is deluged with challenges from un- knowns. He asserts he intends to re- main here with the selects. |"

PENN FOOTBALL
 DATES ARRANGED
Schedule Is Reduced From Eleven
 to Eight Games

Philadelphia, Dec. "18.-Pennsvl. vania's Athletic Council yesterday met war conditions. Following out the precedent established all sports will he fostered during the 1918 season. but many branches may have to be modi- fled.
 The council adopted the football schedule for next year. The feature is the changing of the date for the Cornell game from Thanksgivine Day to the Saturday before-November 23.
 The following clause has been in- serted in all Pennsylvania's sport agreements:
 'This contract may be cancelled at any time when it becomes necessary for either party to abandon the re- mainder of its schedule"
 In footbll another clause is added as follows:
 Ut is agreed that the members of neither team shall gather together formally or informally for the purpose of general conditioning or participa- ton in any form of football practice l prior to September 15, 1918" This latter clause was decided upon | in accordance with the sentiments ex- 1 pressed at the meeting of the National AOll0BldLc kALllCLlC kASSUC1dLlOH III 1 Washington last August.
 The following football schedule for ! 1918, as submitted by Chairman i George H. Frazier on behalf of the football committee. was ratified: | October 5, Franklin and Marshall 12, Buolznell; 19, Swarthmore; 26 ] Pittsburg, at Pittsburg.
 November 2, Lafayette; g, Dart
 mouth; 16, Georgia Tech; 13, Cornell 1 It was felt that cutting down the number of games from eleven to eigh'
 is in keeping with the war time condi 1 tions. Michigan had to request tha' the contract, which expired this year 1 be not renewed because the Wolver
 ines had gone back into the WesterI l Conference, and so many other hart 1 games that they could not take or
 Pennsylvania again.
 The changing of the date for thu
 annual Cornell game from Thanksg1v
 ing Day to the Saturday before wa!
 only made after a great deal of de
 bate. It was the sense of the meeting
 that the public is not in accord witt football on Thanksgiving afternoon. Cornell also agreed with Penns sug l gestion that at the least during wal ] times it would be better to finish sche

Jess Willard Will Risk Title Next Spring Besides Giving Purse For War Work.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-Jess Willard, champion heavyweight fighter. an nounced last night that he would re-enter the ring for the benefit of the Red Cross. He declared he would defend his title against any person anywhere and any time, the sole provision being that all of the receipts should go to the Red Cross.
 Willard said he preferred that a match be mado for next spring so that it could be held in the open air. He also declared he would manage his end of the arrangements himself in order that no part of the proceeds could be diverted from the purpose which he planned.
 The champion will leave for Wash ington at once, he said, to confer with officials of the department of justice to learn if there was any way in which moving pictures of the match could be shown legally, the receipts from the pictures also being pledged to the Red Cross.
 T am ready to receive challenges myself from any fighter anywhere" he said, ''and If a match can be made, will go ahead on arrangements at once. It would serve better if it cS2 be held when the weather will per init an open air exhibition, as thet is likely to increase the receipts

 The October game is still in doubt, the university officials being undecided whether 1t is good policy to tackle the strong Rutgers team so early in the season or to take on Tufts. The chances favor Tufts getting the date.
 This is one of the most ambitious schedules that have ever been ar ranged for an Orange team. There will be not more than four or five of this years regulars back in college, enlist ments having made deep inroads on the squad. Finsterwald, Cobb, Mech an, Flannery, Eddie Brown and Matt Brown are among those who have ap- piled for enlistments, with Capt. Ma 1 lone drafted and expecting notice any l day

FREAK TWIRLING BANNED
American Association Takes Action Against SpitbaH and tho Like-oca- l. son to Open Early in May.

Chicago, Dec. l8.-Decision to open the 1918 season either on May or / and to reduce the player limit from seventeen to sixteen exclusive or manager was reached at the meeting here yesterday of the American Asso- citation club owners.
 While no definite action was taken in regard to playing 14O game schedule instead of 154, President Hickey said last night that the senti- ment was strongly in favor of the short season. The issue will be set tied at a meeting of the eight club presidents to be held here early in February The opening next season will be nearly three weeks later than usual.
 The spitball, 'shine" ball, "emery" bali and all other similar deliveries was legislated out of the league by a unanimous vote. The club owners decided to impose a fine of s25 for each offense. The umpires. President Hickey said, will be the judges of all violations and they will be instructed to report pitchers using any foreign substance on the ball or otherwise tampering with it.
 The club owners also decided to re- turn to the double umpiring system, which was abolished last season as an economy measure. No action was taken in regard to abolishing the spring training trips.
 Action, to prevent a withdrawal of any of the clubs from the association as was recently threatened when the Indianapolis. Louisville and Toledo clubs proposed to withdraw and merge with certain clubs in the International League in the formation of a new league, was taken by Senator A. l.. Cooper, one of the owners of the Kansas City franchise. He suggested changes in the constitution which he believes will give the association grounds for legal action against nay club desiring to withdraw.
