ROBINSON, VETERAN COACH OF
 BROWld, IS FOOTBALL WIZARD
Brings Out Good Teams Year After Year At PrOvi- dence Although He Very Often Starts Season
 With Poor Material At Hand.

a month, and possibly for the balance of the season. He hasn't chance or getting into the Harvard or haIe games, and the best hope is that he may convalesce in time to Jump in against Dartmouth.
 Samson was a quarterback after the customary Robinson mould. For some reason or other-cIear only to Robbie himself the Brown head coach has a tremendous faculty for developing whirIwind quarterbacks- They aren't of the Harvard calibre- mostly brains. They are slashing, whirling quarterbac Over a long stretch of years Robbie has pro- duced sensational quarters, the more recent of whom are Sprackling, Crow ther and Purdy. And this year he had Samson for his ace-up to the end of the first period in the Col gate game, when Samson went blooey and they lugged him off the field cripple.
 Robinson Is the bird that put Brown in the big league. There really was a time when the Bruins ranked rather low in football-wheu they travelled with the little feuers and ate mud for their regular fare. Then gradually, without any Roman candles or circus advertising, Robin son brought them out of the slough and made them not only respected, but feared. Any team that meets Brown in these later years is running against some real football.
 Against Harvard this Saturday Brown should have a rather impress sive defence. Its forwards have shown an excellent ability for stop ping plays, and they are wiser in that phase of the game than they are in their attack.
 The team Is loose in Its offence, and not only sIipshod in its execution, but tends to go to pieces when being tested at white heat. Above all, the Brown team lacks the wa1Iop when iC works to a position to score a touch- down.

Uncle Sam Collects From House Owners
 Near Fight Scene

Lawrence, Oct. 16.-One of the big surprises here Monday in connection with the Kloby-Dundee fight was sprung by the revenue officials. Hun dreds of fans who were unable to gain admission to the arena paid 50 cents to $1 for the privilege of wit messing the battle from the balconies or flat roofs of the three-deckers in the vicinity.
 But the owners Of the buildings didn't reap as big a harvest as they had expected, for after the contest was over, the revenue officials, who had been informed of the business sagacity of the property owners, paid them a visit a1'I collected a tidy sum from them as war tax on the money they had collected.
 According to fSGres given out yes terday the attendance was 13,400, the receipts were s1S,469, exclusive of the war tax, and each fighter re- ceived 35 per cent. of the receipts.

WILLIE EOPPE GETTING READY TO PROTECT
 HIS BILLIARD GROWN

New York, Oct. 16-Willie Hoppe, the champion at all branches of baIk line billiards, did not play a set match yesterday, but practiced cer- tain shots in the way of drives and draws in which he wishes to perfect himself. Hoppe spent several hours at the National Recreation Academy, Brooklyn, and amazed the onIoozers with the mastery he displayed over the worries.
 Hoppe will tomorrow and Saturday take his final workouts previous to the tournament and will play set match with able opponents
 Jake Schaefer and Ora Morning star had their tussles with Albert Cutler at Maurice Daly's Academy and showed wonderful form. Schaefer missed his first three shots in his game, but in the next three scored PIT points, including q run of 149. He averaged 30 and seemed to be in fine stroke. Morningstar counted consistently and averaged 23, running out with an unfinished 40.

HARVARD LOSES PENNEY CRACK
 END, BY INJURY

Cambridge, Oct. 16 - There have been some busy football days in the Harvard stadium this year, but noth- ing to match yesterday afternoon when the Harvard coaches massed behind their varsity and substitute players and drove them to the limit. For fully half an hour the substitute backs, playing behind the regular rush line and against the second string forwards, who worked in cOmbina- tion with the regular back field, tore at each other for all they were worth. There was no let up for any one and the coaches were well pleased with the way their players stood the work
 The varsity line was composed of Ryan and Desmond. ends; Kane and Sedgwick, tackles; Clark and Brown, guards; Havmeyer, center. Holmes, later replaced Clark and SaIter got his chance at left tackle.
 Woods was back at guard with the subs, not having proved shifty enough for tackle. Phinney, the left wing also was with the second set of line men, but during the scrimmage he injured his back and was carried from the field. It is believed he is badly hurt, and that Harvard may lose one of the best ends on hand and a player much needed because of ex- perience and steadiness.
 Again Humphrey was in the back field with Casey and Horween. John son, who was in charge of the second set of backs did so well that it may be feasible to keep Humphrey as running back. Hamilton worked with Church, A. Horween and Johnson.
 
 Ralph Horween speeded up and Nel- son got a chance to play in Casey's place. HadIey, one of the biggest tackles, has dropped out because of not being able to stand the strain. He was gassed in the war.

 Bill Papke invented a blow which is popular with fancy mitt wielders these days. Billy, while in a cIinch, had a knack of bringing left or right underneath and belting his opponent on the other side of the jaw with it. Billy dubbed it the 'Ioop-the-loop."
 Frank Moran never mad anything more than a wildhaymaker but he was crafty enough to term it his Mary Ann, declaring it was a new sort of swing. Willie Lewis, the pop- ular Gas House terror of a few years back really did start something new in the way of punching and he was wise enough to name it the ''one-two" punch. Lewis had a disconcerting 2 habit of letting go a left lead and starting a right exactly in it's wake. The second punch generally found an opening and the "one-two'' Ieaped into renown. Today the word is screeched from the corners of cham pions and preliminary scrappers but none have since put it to the good use that Willie did. One of the last new punches on the market was the 'occipitaI' of Gunboat Smith, Smith was a terrific hitter and en- ployed a sweeping round arm swing which usually took effect behind his opponents ear or the base of the brain. Old timers used to call it the rabbit punch. It was good for a K. O. usually.

The present dav chamnions consti

The present day champions consti- tute formidable array of pugilistic material, most as great as any pro- duced in the old days. Dempsey, O'Dowd, Britton, Leonard, and Her man would have had at least an equal chance with the best of other days. But for all that, barring Dempsey they are not a particularly picturesque crew of reputation wreckers. Of course every one knows there are a few, if any, new blows under the sun.
 The same blows, with few excep- lions, are in evidence today which won battles twenty-five years ago for doughty kings of the Queensbury Realm.
 Nevertheless the champions of the last two generations realized the com mercial value of labelling new trade marks on ancient waI1ops It was a good stunt for it lent an added sense of fornidability to the prin- ciples and the plant fight fan was always looking for the delivery of the much advertised punch. But either the champs of today or their psres agents are asleep for no new punches or even awe-inspiring so- briquets for old ones have been df- vised.
 Surely the hundred and one variety of soporific clouts which Jack Demp- sey unleasEes on an opponent during a battle should be productive of the much needed new punches'' these days. The scribes have aptIy termed his terrible knockout ''the bone crusher' because of it's crushing ef- feet but Jacks handlers don't pre- tend to argue that there is any new twist in the wallop either in it's de- livery or in the preparation for the

New York, Oct. 1s-It may de- eeiop in the course of current foot ball operations that the snapplest games of the year will be played by Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh on the broad reaches of Franklin Field in Philadelphia.

sock. It's just bone crushing swing, that's all.
 Benny Leonard is snappy puncher with either hand to the jaw or body. He has the knockout walop but no name to catalogue it with. You Just read that Benny put his man away with a wicked right hook to the jaw. He has no pet punch with a convincing appe1lation attached thereto. Kilbane O'Dowd, Britton and Herman also lack the advertising which the old time scrappers used to derive by christening their favorite smite with some menacing nickname.
 When F'itZsimmons laid Jim Cor bett low with a simple blow to the ''wind' medical experts conferred great favor on Bob by diagnosing it as the solar plexus' punch. It gained wide fame as such and his opponents were in constant dread of the mighty blow which had arrested the attention of the medical profes- sion. Kid Mccoy had a peculiar knack of twisting his wrist at the impact of his punches to the chin. He referred to it as the t'corkscrew'' and he gained considerable notoriety thru it. George Dawson one of Aus tralia's greatest Hghtweights dis covered the Kidney blow" and Bat Nelson infringed on his copyright and used the same punch which he christened the "Ieft-half scissors Jim Jeffries was taught by Tommy Ryan to crouch and extend his pow erful left for his opponents to run into.

Roseben's Great Race.

Many turf followers will recall With interest that today marks the thir- teenth anniversary of the great race when Roseben made a new worlds record of 1:22 for seven furlongs,. Willie Shaw was astrfGe the gigantic EeIding on that memorable occasion. The big train carried 126 pounds, and there was only one other starter in the race Roseben shot away from the post like a, cannoncoan and never taItured a second until the wire was reached. When the timekeeper ceIti- fled 1:22 as the time for the seven furlongs a wall of woe went up from the boohes. It had been conceded that the big gelding would win, but a lot of wise ones had induced the <ookuakers to put up money against the proposition that Roseben would beat the track record of 1:25 for the Belmont course seven furlongs, around the turn While 1t was 0 vio- latdon of the track rules to bet on time, c large sum had been wagered! before the authorities put a stop to 1t. fk is said that the booi1es took in about s35, 900 at even money. so Rose beufs record 4bEeaking stunt cost them h pretty penny. The best previous record for seven furlongs was 1-23 1-2, hung up by Bella B., carrying 1o3 pounds, at Monmouth Park in 1890.
