CORNELL WILL BE
BUSY this WINTER

ITHACA, N. Y, Nov. 3.-Cornell will
open the biggest basketball schedule
in it's history in Ithaca December 10.
Twenty-one games are to be played
this year, eleven Of the contests max
ing up the best montague schedule
Cornell has ever had. Two league
games will be played with Columbia,
Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Princeton
and Yale, the season closing when
New York city's representatives come
to Ithaca, March 9.
Prospects for one of the most sue
cessful years in the days Of the Inter
collegiate League are bright. -Four
teams are known to be well bal
anced-Cornell, Yale, Columbia and
Pennsylvania-while only Princeton's
and Dartmouth's ability are unknown.
The race in the intercollegiate
League will be exceptionally close
this year, as four teams have two
legs on the basketball trophy. which
goes TO the winner of three legs.
A victory for Cornell, Pennsylvania,
Princeton or Yale will mean perma-
nent possession OF the cup. The
league schedule closes March IL,
when Penn plays Princeton in Phila-
delphia.

WEST VIRGINIA IS
BEST, SAYS NESTOR

After watching West Virginia tri-
umph in no mistakable manner over
Princeton, Walter Camp unhesita-
tingly calls the Mountaineers the
best eleven he has seen this year.
at is safe to say that no team. not
even in the final games, will stage q
finer exposition of versatility" re-
marks Yale's "Nestor Of football
"A finished football team was that
displayed in West Virginia, under the
leadership of their great captain,
Rodgers. In the first 12-minute
period they ran up no fewer than 10
points on the Tigers. Think of point
and a half minute on a team that
had just held Colgate to a 7-to-o
scorel
IF any team on the gridiron thinks
they could have kept West Virginia
from scoring In that first period, then
my advice is to challenge them and
see. For il would have taken an
eleven of supermen with a defense Of
an elasticity not yet displayed by any
OF them this year"

II compelled to face a Leonard weigh
ing l45 pounds in the ring.
When Leonard includes the welters
and some OF the middleweights among
those he fears not, he Is also correct
" Gibson is to choose the welters
and middlos to battle Leonard. the
latter would have a soft time Of it.
for he is at once a clever boxer and
a good hitter.
The only hope now in sight Is for
Leonard to increase the class pound
age until Jack Dempsey gets n crack
at him. Then a new champion will be
seen.
The Washington times., 1919-11-03

Before going farther in this tale Of
the lightweight champion. let's ad-
NIT right here that Jimmy Duffy can't
win from Leonard. even II he weighs
$50 pounds at Tulsa Duffy lacks the
class and the punch TO worry Leonard,
n the latter is in any sort of shape.
and he takes such good care of him
self that he can alw avs step into a
ring and make a respectable show
ing. Therefore, his defense" of the
title is mere persifiage. It's for the
reading public. not for those who
know anything about the inside do

What has brought Leonard into the
ring in a decision bout7 Wen. IT may
possibly BE- traced to various state
nnents, supposed 10 be correct, that
n. was planning 10 quit the ring and

Is well known that the lightweight
champion has been cleaning up a
small fortune IN Wall Street for more
than q year. Coupling this fact with
his recent failure TO weigh in for sew
eral Of his bouts around the country
nay explain his sudden decision TO
defend" HIS title against Duffy.
He u Not the First.
Leonard is rot the first American
lightweight to boost the limit Of his
class. but he Is the first to shove II a.

tended his ring honors at 133 pounds,
but in his last important contest he
found training too rough and so he
scaled T3TG pounds for his clash with

Automobile Thefts

Considering the enormous amount of money invested in automobiles, it is amazing that owners have not in sisted before on some better means of preventing theft of cars. Regular gangs of motor thieves now operate all over the country. No car worth anything is safe. But it will be pos sible to make automobile stealing very difficult.
 Automobile associations are work ing on this problem, and legislation is likely to be presented in a good many state legislatures this winter looking to a solution of this problem. A few states have already enacted strict laws. A type of statute that may be- come somewhat general is being draft ed by the New York State Automobile Association.
 This act would require a purchaser of an automobile to obtain a deed of the car like that of piece of real es- tate, to be witnessed by some officer of the law. The possessor of a car who had no such deed would be con- sidered to hold it by unlawful means.
 Some people may object to the both CT and machinery created by such an act. But in view of the difficulties in recovering stolen cars, it looks as if such legislation would be necessary. It would involve no more trouble and expense than insuring automobiles against theft, which is now being done with millions of machines.
 Any such scheme of course makes it necessary that cars have the mak- CTS number clearly marked, and in
