British Tennis Stars
 Asking for Delay Going to Australia

New York, Nov. 7-According to advices from Sydney, the British lawn tennis authorities have asked the Australasian association to postpone
 the challenge round for the Davis cup from late in December to Janu- ary. It is explained by the English association that owing to difficulties in transportation 1t would not be pos sible for +-2 British team to arrive in Australia before the end of this month or early In December.
 The Brttons desire at least a month of practice and acclimation. The Au- straIians declare that they will try to
 do their best by the challengers, but
 at the same time they state that the matches ought to be played before January. In that month the heat Is likely to be so great as to make high class tennis impossible. The Austra- Hans would not mind the heat as much as would the Britons, so the longer the English delay the worse will be their chances of success.
 In connection with the outlook for the Davis cup matches Australian sporting periodicals warn strongly l against overeconf1dence. It is pointed out that the Britons seem likely to be 1 not class so much higher than their l rivals to develop a feeling that the result already Is in.

NN.UNCERTAIN
 OF BACKFIELD
 FOR DARTMOUTH

Philadelphia, Penn, Nov. 7-The University of Pennsylvania football squad held it's final workout yester- day prior to the contest with Dart mouth at New York tomorrow. It spent the greater part of the time in building up a defense for the Dartmouth plays turned in by Red and Blue scouts. Thus far the Quakers have been rather strong on the defense, but Coach Folwell learn ed a lesson last week in not seeing that all parts of the resisting line would resist under the severest test.
 Most of the time on the defense was against the use of forward passes. These were repeatedly broken up by Lud Wray, the rowing centre. As a hint to his possible rush line for the big game, Coach Folwen had H Miller and Hopper at ends; Titzel and Little, tackles; Neylon and A. Wray, guards.
 Captain Bell ran the Varsity through a set of signals, then Pearce and Rex Wray took turns with the backfie1d. The personnel of the Penn backf1eld will depend greatly on the condition of the grounds Sat. urday. Light, who has been on ths crippled list, although active with i all, is not certain of starting. H. lost himself in the State game.
 Folwell himself is sitting up night: trying to figure out the best backf1e1t combination to start the game. Some of his supposedly most reliable meI fell down last Saturday.

CHARLIE SHAW, STAR
 OF COLUMBIA ELEVEN

Charlie Shaw. whose play was a fea- ture of the Columbia elevens of 1912 and 1918, has again clinched a back field post in the Blue and White team. In the recent game with Vermont Thornton started at left half in place of Shaw, who appeared to be coming along very slowly. but before the game was drawn to a close, Shaw had supplanted Thornton. and it will be a difficult matter to get him out of the lineup for the remainder of the season. In addition to being a hard line bucker, Shaw is a crackerjack sprinter and Is perhaps the best broken field runner now wearing a Columbia uniform. He is also a good punter and kicker

Jimmy Hill, Boxing
 Expert of Australia,
 Showed Poor Spirit

Jimmy Hills ring career in this country was indeed short The Aus tralian feath erwe tight champion who was knocked out by Benny Valger in the sixth round of a scheduled twelve round contest in Boston recently, is now on his way to San Francisco, from where he will sail for his native land on Nov. Il Evidently the lad from the Antipodes took his defeat at the hands of the French Flash to heart, but the rev ersa1 should not be +he cause of his departure from the States. His actions will not tend to increase his circle of admirers; they may, however, result in many fistic fans in this country changing their opinion of him If Hill sought Q, re- turn match with Valger instead of a return ticket to Australia the Anneri- can fans who followed his career since he came to this country would not form the opinion that he lacked cour- age. But they are apt to think so now
 Hill had two fights in this country. He was several weeks before an op- ponent could be discov cred who was 1ian's reputation seemed to be his hoodoo. Finally, Barney Adair met him in a twelve round contest in Bos- ton. At the end of the bout the ref cree decided that the men had fought on even terms The ringsiders- how ever. did not greet the decision with approval It was the concensns ot opinion among those who saw the fight that the Australian should have received the verdict. While he was not credited with a victory in his first start, Hill, however, made numerous friends.
 When the contest with Va1ger was arranged nobody thought for a min- ute that the French battler would send the Australian champion tc drean1and> In fact, when the pail entered the ring Hill was favored to win. Va1ger in his fights in New ter sey rings never displayed a knockont wallOp. but in the sixth round of the battle with Hill he. landed a right tc the Australfan'S jaw and the visitor was dropped for the count.
 IIIal was offered a return match wftk Adair and had several other bout' scheduled for the Middle West, but when he was defeated by Vaiger they were propmtly called off. In rushing back to the Antipodes he has showt poor policy to say the least,

GRAY IS AFTER RED SOx CLUB
 REPORT SAYS

Boston, Nov. Tt Is said the lat est aspirant for the Red Sox fran caise is William P. Gray, the presi- dent of the New Hampshire Maine Theatre Company. Though denied by some concerned there are strong req sons to believe that Gray has made, and still is making, strong efforts to break into major league baseball as owner of the Boston Americans.
 Should Gray secure the franchise Bill Carrigan probably will return as Red Sox manager. Bill is assistant treasurer and GFay's right hand man in his theatrical ventures. Carrigan's s friends make no bones about saying g Bill is itching to get back into base ball. It would not be at all surprising to see Gray and Carrigan bob up one of these days as owners of the Red SOx

TICKETS FOR
 YALE-HARvARD
 WILL BE S2.5O

New Haven. Nov. - A circum- stance connected with the coming Yale-Harvard football game in Cam bridge other than the possibilities of either team, or the relative ability Of individual players, is the increased cost of the tickets to the annual classic between these two universities.
 The prevailing price of admission to all of the big games has been $S in the past and both Yale and Prince ton have adhered to this fee. The authorities at Cambridge suddenly decided the game this year was worth $2.50 and went ahead and had tickets printed with that tax specifically stated on the pasteboards.
 Just why the powers at Harvard took this stand Is problematical, but it is assumed that the erection of ad-
 ditional seats at Soldiers Field en- | tailed an enormous expense to the athletic association and that the rev. enue derived from the increase would be used to defray the cost of the seats In the neighborhood of 20,000 additional seats are to be erected for the game, and at the present cost of lumber and labor 1t would appear that the Harvard auth critics will not make any amazing profit, even with the increase taken into consideration.
 However. 1t IS predicted that the
 rate in effect for the game will not detract from the attendance and 1t Is expected that the pasteboards will be at a premtum this year, as they have been in former seasons.
 Nevertheless, 1t is the consensus of l opinion that the proper policy for the three colleges to pursue would have been a uniformity in price of admis- | sion to the three games staged be- | tween these institutions.

BIS THREE ARE
 STILL SUPREME
 ID EASTERNERS

New ork, Nov. 7-Princeton, liar yard and Yale may yield occasional ly to the assaults of minor foemen, but the Big Three still is, and doubt less ever will be, the main triumvir ate-at least to the average Eastern football devotee.
 We may sing the praise of Colgate, of Syra cuse, of Dartmouth and Pitts burgh and Penn-au of 1t deserved, to be sure-but as the campaign flick CTS on toward the finale 1t is E1 the Big Three we look for the glta~nate thrill. the main punch. the real eli max.
 Therefore the first game of the autumn involving two of the Bls Three-Harvard and Princeton-over- shadows any combat that has gone before. For the East it will be the first of the real big games, to which preceding contests have been but cur tain raisers.
 The futInty of predicting the out come of football games by 1l-easur- ing the contending elevens with the yard stick of their early scores al ready has been established in a sea son brisuing with staggering form re- versals.

 complete foIdup against West Virgin ia has undermined the faith of even the most optimistic Nassau adherent Yet, despite the obvious superiority of the Crimson, interest in the forth coming struggle glows in a white hea, of enthusiasm.
 Regardless of Princeton's collapse against a lesser antagonist it may be well to wait until after the Harvard game to pick the ultimate survivor ot the elimination test involving the Big Three.
 Certain 1t is Princeton will put forth Q better game against Harvard than 1t did against West Virginia. Ii may not overthrow the Crimson, to be sure, but the Tiger has an age old habit of rising on his tawny hauncheS and fighting to the final ditch against its ancient foemen.
 Princeton doubtless will have . better attack, a sounder defenct against Harvard than it unveiled against West Virginia. Last Satur- day the Tiger assault was puny. Its defence was wavery in vital sections Il lacked completely the compelling drive essential to a winning offence Furthermore, the Tiger didn't figh' as the Tiger can fight when it's 1T fighting mood.
 The only rock-bound certainty at tached to the rd-Princeton en- counter Is this Harvard will mee 9 better Princeton team than facec West Virginia The Nassau coaches are moving heaven and earth dowr at TigertoWn to groom the clever to the point of essential fitness. The success or failure of the Roper re- gime hangs upon the outcome of the game next Saturday. There will be no aIibi if the Tiger fails.
 But if Princeton carries the rugged defence on Saturday it thrust agains Colgate; if it plays just a whit fastel on attack and employees a, more sus tafned drive thans it did against tht Maroon. Harvard's assignment will bt no polite pink tea
