VIOLET AND TRINITY IN SCORLESS DRAW

New York, Nov. Three times the New York University football eleven forced its way within the ten-yard line of Trinity at Ohio Field yester- day, but each time the visitors fought abck with such excellent defensive strength. that the Violet was held scoreless. Once Trinity lined hp on the Violet fve-yard line with a first down and a touchdown imminent. but Ramsay. the Trinity half back, made Ia tumble and Brin, for the N. Y. u recvered. Thus was Trinity denied a score and the game endeia o to o.
 There was little to choose between the two teams. N. r. U had the bet ter forward line, but its backs were too light and too slow. to make much headway. Trinity had two kickers and a clever spread formation for for ward pasings which twice caught N. r. U. unawares, but the offense of the visitors was weak.

MONRoE-MAHER BATTLE.

It was on Nov. z. 1908, that Jack Monroe knocked out Peter Maher in the fourth round at Philadelphia. Monroe was then claiming the cham pionship, by reason of having stayed four rounds with Jeffries the previous year, at Butte, Mont. Monroe's vic- tory over Maher was nothing to brag about, as the Irisilman was on the down grade and had previously been knocked out by Kid Mccoy, Gus Ruh- lin, Kid Carter, Joe ChoyHski and George Gardiner, Monroe continued so obstreperous in his boasting. how ever, that Jeff consented to g match, and in 1904 the beilermaker knocked him out in the second reuhd. of bout at San Francisco. Monroe was a na- tive of Chester, Pa-, a six-footer, and weighed over 200 pounds. He began boxing in San Francisco in 1901, and fought a 20-round draw with Hank Griffin, the negro boxer. After his de- feat by Jeff he fought several battles in Atlanta, Savannah, Ottawa, Ont, and other cities, and made trip to Australia, but he faised utterly to live up to the hopes of those who thought he was of championship calibre.

between the well known east and the equally celebrated west.
 Western critics are unanimous in regarding Michigan as the equal, if not the superior of any other eleven in the Corn Belt. Since the buriy Nebraska Cornhuskers were sur rounded and subdued the Wolverines of current date have frequently been ikened to the point-a-minute boys of Willie Heston's period, than which nlgher praise cou1d scarcely be accorded any team. The Michigan line is said to be wonder and the backfeld immense, the two depart ments welding perfectly into a ma chine that grinds out gains with ruthless regularity and precision.

EAST AND WEST TO CLASH IN BIG GRlDIRON CLASSIC
Michigan Rules Heavy Favorite to Defeat Cornell i'll Game at Ann Arbor-Ithacans are Striking
 Real Stride Following Slow Start

Another intersectional grtdiron match is scheduled for next Saturday to give added zest to a program that would be promising enough without it. The East vs. West element is in- troduced by Michigan and Cornell, which battle at Ann Arbor, while the Dartmouth h-Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh Washington and Jefferson, and the Brown Newport Naval Reservists games are being fought further east. Taken by and large and in the main this is by far the most attractive menu that has been spread before the football fanatic this year. se
 The Cornel1-Michigan affair is of exceptional Importance, not only be- cause of it's intersectional character, but because it will give the east dependable line of what now appears to be one of the most powerful elevens in any section. Comparative scores would seem to indicate that Michigan is about five touchdowns stronger than West Point which up to Saturday last was ranked with the best in the east, for comparative scores are often misleading, and east ern critics are withholding judgment on the Wolverines, but indications are not lacking that Al Sharpe's team will make a far stronger stand than would have been thought possible an recently as two weeks ago. From discouraging start the Ithacans are slowly swinging into something that closely approximates a real stride. and moving forward with increased speed and power at every step.
 That they will be able to defeat the Wolverines or even hold them to close score seems highly improbable, but they will have done all that any Reasonable mortal could ask of them if they can force the Maize and Blue to perform at top speed through all, or any appreciable part of the game. If they can do this the dopsters will feel justified in putting some sort of an Identification tag on the Yost lads, and using them as medium through which to draw a line of comparison

M'Coy To Come Out
 Of Shell.
Cheese Champion Will Give Mike 0'Dowd, Speedy St. Paul Scrapper, Crack at the Middleweight Cham pionship Next Week.

New York, Nov TAI Mccoy ia; going to defend his title. and defend ies means defend 1t, for Alburtus is goin@i to meet that restless gamin of th8a hempen square, Mike O'Dowd of St. Paul. one week from tonight.
 Paddy Mullins of the Clermont G. c. in Brooklyn, succeeded in sfgninn Mccoy to meet the brist1ing St. Pau2{ Irishman at the Brooklyn club on the night of Nov. IA, the eve of the pasuA ing of the Frawley law.
 O'Dowd is fully convinced that he, is the Brooklyn boys master, thousla how he hopes to win, Mike alone. knows. It is going to take a terrffiol hitter to bring down Mccoy an0l some of the best have tried it.
 Al may not be as showy as Abe, Attell, Jim Corbett or Jem Driscoll. but he can take a drubbing with q, smile and refuses to believe that ha! will ever be knocked out. He's baeni on the floor, but he is still the cllarl.s the nfftiest of our mfddies will not; believe it.
 Mccoy is content to go along f1ght. ing only now and then, and only enough when he does face a man to earn his money. In his own town he is always booed numerically when he enters the ring, whether it is to defend his "tit1e'' or to be s'knocked down. to the faithful.
 One night Al was introduced as the middleweight champion at some upstate club and received three good healthy loud cheers. Al almost col-s lapsed from shock. He never had been cheered in his life before, more especially since winning the title from George Chip. He said afterz ward that it was the first time that he had ever really felt like titie- holder.
 George Chip, who lost the title to Mccoy. will always hold that he won his title back when the pair met for the second time at the Broadway Sporting club. Chip dropped Mccoy for the count, and Al GOT one. EeF-s eral watches clicked off 14 seconds while AIburtus was sprawled on tho floor listening to the referees labor ed count. Chip raised an awful rum pus over it, and so did his manager, Jimmy Dime, but Al was told to go on after he got up, and he lasted it out.

JOE CHOYNsKI's
 BIRTHDAY TODAY

Tomorrow will be the 49th anni- versary of. the birth of Joe Choynski. who in his day was considered the greatest of light heavyweishts. Joe was born in San Francisco on Nov. 8, 1888, and was less than two years the junior of that other eminent San Franciscan, James J. Corbett. Joe reached nearly six feet in altitude be- fore he stopped growing. He began his ring career about 90 years ago, and Corbett, his fellow townsrnan. was his first opponent. It wes bad start, for Jim stopped him in tho first chapter. Joe won all of his next few bouts from second-raters, and in 1889 he decided to tackle Corbett again.
 They were matched to fight at Fairfax. Cal, but the cops broke up the fun A little later they met at Benecia, Cal, famed as the early home of John Heenan, and Joe trav- elled 2S terrific rounds, but was finally defeated. A month or two later Choynski and Cerbett mingled in San Francisco, and this time Joe was defeated in four rounds. After defeating Frank MeLarney at Port land, Ore, and several other Coast fighters, Choynsi1i sailed for Austra- I11a, where nS WnlppSu SSVSfd 6Ooo men but was twice defeated by Joe Goddard. Upon his return to America Choynski fought an exhibition with Jehn L. Sullivan,
 After defeating several other good men Joe, in 1894. fought a draw with Bob Fitzsimmons at Boston. Two years later he defeated Jim Hall, but was aftsrward knocked out by Tom Sharikey in San Francisco and by Peter Maher in New York, In 1897 Cheynski fought g0-round draw with Jim Jeffries In his later bat ties Joe was defeated by Kid Mccoy, Kid Carter and Jack O'Brien, but his worst defeat was at the hands of the weiterweight negro. Joe Walcott, in 1900. He avenged himself on the J black race in 1901, at Galveston, by stopping Jack Johnson. After he re-

SOLDIER FAIRFIELD.
 OUTPOINTS MARTIN

New York, Nov. 7--In a bout so exciting that the spectators were shouting and gesticuaating every round, Soldier Bartfield beat silent Martin last night at the Broadway Suorting club. Bartne1d kept his left hand in Martins face nearly every round and varied. 1t with a heavy right to the face that several times staggered the mute.
 Martin while shaky several. times never lost his balance. He fought back with great determination. He was always dangerous and frequently landed 3. terrific right to the Soldier jaw But the blows seemed to have no effect on the Soldier, who returned the thumps with interest.

Cubs that he has s2oo,oOo to spend for new talent.
 The past season was a very precar-, fous one for baseball owners. Quite a number of them lost money. It is said that the only club in the Interna- tional League to return a profit this year was the Toronto outfit.
 There is considerable nervousness among players because of the rumors that salaries are to be cut down when the short schedule goes into effect next season. The recent announce ment that the season will be curtailed means that quite a few changes in the system in vogue for several years will take place. The training camps will not opened until late in March, instead of early in February. Further more, the players will very likely be asked to sign a contract for five months, instead of six. as has been the rule. And now comes this ques- ton of cutting down salaries. which will be taken up at the annual meet ings.

HaleS, put, to revanp an old one, Where there's so much talk, there's likely to be a little fact.
 Yale has decided to resume soccer football and an intercollegiate sched. ule has been arranged. Games will be played with University of Pennayl. Vanfa, Princeton, Harvard, Haverford and the Ansonia Field club. The only date settled is with the Quakers, who Will play in New Haven this Saturday.
 It was an awful jolt when we learn. ed the above. We had almost rorgot- ten about soccer being a sport, though without reason. We have witnessed few games, and there is really more action in it than in the good old foot ball game.
 Why Yale authorities allow soccer and refuse to allow football, is beyond our ken.
 New Haven football fans will travel to the Rock Sunday to witness the clash between the Washington GIees and the Winchester eleven. The An. mex will not play.
 Frankie Burns must be going back" was the surprised remark of many local boxing fans when they read the account of the Jerseyite's de- feat at the hands of Pete Herman in New Orleans the other night. Burns Is 28 years old, which is past the prime for the average boxer, but he never had better year than last year, and his ring work up to date has been of the gilt edged variety. The truth of the matter probably is that the title holder is much more capable boxer than he was thought to be.
 The result of the contest would seem to indicate that when Herman boxed a 20-rounid draw with Williams and later won tho title on points in a 2O-round encounter, it was not through the aid of the referee, as alleged by Wi1liams.
 Herman now has piled up a record that will be difficult for any cf1arn- pion to equal. He was married on Nov 4, successfully defended his title on Nov and will join the colors on Nov. IS.

 JIM COFFEY FRESHMAN.
 
 The career of Jim Coffey of County Roscommon, Ireland, has been 8 crooked one. Lots of experts con- ceded a. few years ago that he had a chance for the heavyweight cham. pionship. This was shortly after the victory of Jess Willard. which en- unused the nation to the extent that interest in heavyweight fighters really perked up for while. Then few sad reverses, and Jim Coffey slipped back into the oblivion he occupied when Billy Gibson first pried the con- troller bar from his fists and adorned them with boxing gloves. Experts then wept at the thought of rufning promising chauffeurs by converting him into a human punching bag.
 Now those who assume an air of profound wisdom in connection with things pugilistic are again beginning to speak respectfully of MT. Coffey's 8 chances-to beat Bill Brennan in New York Friday night.
 Of course, you can't speculate as to his chances to annex Willard's crown. You can only speculate as to the time when said crown will be put on the auction block.
