Boston College to Have
Big Football Stadium

BOSTON, Dec. 20.-Plans are under
way at Boston College to enlarge the
seating capacity of Alumni Field for
sthe football games next fall. The
Maroon and Old Gold football team
was obliged to play all its big home
games either at Fenway Park or Braves
Field this fall, and this resulted in
great financial loss to the athletic
association. Plans call for seating
capacity of $4,000.
Boston College will journey to New
Haven next fall to line up against
the Bulldog October 16. This probably
will be the fourth game on the Boston
College schedule.
Tufts will appear on the Maroon
and Old Gold schedule after lapse
of year. These two elevens met in
1916 and 1917 and Boston College was
twice victorious by big scores. Ar
mistice day has been set apart for the
game, and it probably will be played
at University Heights.

New-York tribune., 1919-12-21

The tournament committee originally
planned to have the final round match
played on Tuesday afternoon, but now
it is doubtful if the meet can be finished
before Wednesday.
One of the most keenly fought matches
of the day resulted in the match between
r. G. Coburn, of Harvard, and A. E.
Ellis, his clubmate. Coburn, rated at
minus 2, defeated Ellis (minus 81. only
after three closely fought games by
score of 6-15, 15-6, 15-11.
The fortunes of battle swayed first
to one side and then to the other in
this match. ELS, who had taken the
measure of Charles NJ. Bull jr. on Fri
day, was in fine form in the first game,
scoring on beautiful placement aces
along the side walls and to the corners.
But Coburn was slowly getting into
his best stride, and in the second game
ne exactly reversed the score, bringing
the match all square.
Flash Many Rallies
In the third and deciding game both
players went at it hammer and tongs,
arN real slugging match developed.
The points varied to either side for
more than three quarters of the game,
with many flashing rallies to enliven
proceedings. Half dozen times the
men clashed in the court as both, in
their eagerness, interfered with each
other. Coburn closed strongly, bring
ing off two or three around the court
shots for aces in the last few hands.
Frederick S. Keeler, the Columbia
veteran, won another we'll played match
Yesterday, his victim this time being
II. w. Carhart, of the Yale Club Both
men played from scratch, and Keeler
won by a score of 15--5, 15-3. The
winner did not rely so much upon hard
hitting and speed as upon skill of
placement and change of pace, and he
frequently caught Carhart out of posi-
ton by softenng his stroke so as to
drop the ball gently against the front
wall when his opponent was far out of
reach. Tomorrow Keller will have to
face Cordier, in the struggle to gain
semi-final bracket in the lower half.
Cordier always looked like the ul-
innate winner in his match with Fink,
the latter player showing signs of stiff
ness as a result of earlier matches in
the tourney. The Yale star was in
great shape yesterday, putting world
of "pace" into his shots. He won most

BOSTON, Dec. 20.-Harvard Univer-

cheering of several hundred under

fear for the result.
eve are in fine form to play our
best, and we expect that will be good
enough to win," said Captain Billy
Murray.
Eddie Casey, the Crimson's star back,
started the trip with a rather heavy
cold, but otherwise the Crimson team
as it left to meet Oregon was better
prepared to present its full strength
than it was against Yale.
The injured shoulder of<Ralph Hor-
ween. plunger and punting member of
the backfield, has healed; Desmond, the
end rush, who entered the Yale game
with an injured knee. Is again fit, and
the team generally has benefited by
the let-up in training.
G. A. Clark, the bulky guard, is not
making the trip, but several able sub
stitutes are available. Twenty three
players were in the party, as follows:
Jack Desmond, Joe Ryan, Morris Phin-
ney, Percy Steele, Robert Sedgwick,
Keith Kane, Henry Faxon, Wynant Hub

Fearing that the six days of Pullman
car riding and numerous elevations,
shifts and climatic changes might
soften the players, Trainer "Pooch"
Donovan outlined a program Of special
exercises for the journey. Besides the
indoor exercises, nineteen stops will
be available for brief outdoor runs.
Harvard graduates and friends along
the route will turn out in numbers to
greet the players.
PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 2O.--The Uni

Although the Oregon team tied the
University of Washington for the Pa

losing one, the Oregonians were con-

better showing during the season.
