 Night Tn Old London
Pal Moore Makes Crqui Quit and Johnny Griths Puts Knockout Sign On Charles---Ted Lewis Easy
 Winner Over Matt Wells

London. Dec. 27-It was a great night for the Stars and Stripes ln John Bulls stronghold last evening. Three American boxers tossed their gloves into the ring and knocked IT kinds of spots out of two Frenchmen and an EngIishman. The two birds from that dear Paris claimed they had been fouled but all they really meant was that they didn't know what hit them. At last accounts the Britisher had not produced an aIibt.
 Pal Moore, the American bantam weight, made Eugene Criqui of France quit in the 14th round. Moore was facing the FrenchInatn right along and in the 14th he placed a right hook in Criquf's stomach. The French1nan rsigned right there. He said the blow was low although he made no formal protest

COASTERS SAY
 OREGON ELEVEN
 WILL WIN CAME

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 27. - The by the way of Los Angeles yesterday and from then it will be plenty Of hard work. There is a little hunch going the rounds here that Oregon is very apt to take a flop out of the stalwart athletes from Cambridge and from the air of satisfaction dish ed out by the Oregon outfit 1t ap- pears they are satisfied there is a surprise in store for somebody next Thursday.
 Coach Huntington and Trainer Hay ward are well pleased with the work their men are doing. The Oregon huskies are getting back into thei~ mid-season shape again and by the day of the Harvard brawl will be in the finest possible condition.
 The bulky backfeId is working like 3 watch. The four men sweep behind the fierce charges of the line as one man The interference is brilliant and the aII-round work of the team even better than anyone has expected.
 Certainly Oregon will go against Harvard as near right in physical condition and playing skill as any team can. Whether Oregon's best will be good enough to beat HarvarG remains to be seen, but we can ba sure that Harvard ytIl be up agains- Oregon at it's best.
 Oregon will not be forced to de pend upon any one style of play. Tha report that the western eleven is es- sentiaIly 8 Ione-bucking outfit is fa- from true. Oregon's backs can bucfz a line with the best of them. Bu- the team will be able to do it's share of forward passing and will hay plenty of slick plays to offer if it i~ found necessary to call on them
 4 number Of football men her who have chatted with the Harvard members are not backward about telling the Crimson warriors tha- they are sorry for them in the com ing game. To hear these Californian talk you would not think Harvara had a chance.
 This talk may be just what the men need, as it will prepare them for six days of good, hard training- No one of them is now ovg-conH- dent. as otherwise might have been the case. It has been thoroughly in stilIed into the men that one of the chief reasons that Brown and Penn sylvania returned East defeated teams was because they refused to take Pa cific coast football seriously. They were over-conhdent and did not train for their game as they should.

New York. Dec 27"-Don't be sur prised to see Georges Carpenter made favorite over Dempsey if they meet in Europe" said c. z. Cochran. bhe London promoter who hopes to land the bout, yesterday. Europe is wild over the boy, England as well as France" he added. They can't believe that mortal man can whip him. Where will the fight take place? London is the spot for the Dempsey and Carpenter bout" he went on.
 Tt is the natural place, and English people have taken to boxing as they never did before It is natural. don't you know. A sort of relaxation af- ter the war, as it were In France, I hold that the people there would even build the arena for the bout, the funds for the>sarne being sure to come from the wealthy admirers of the Frenchman.

Red SOx Owner Not
 Worried About Ruth
Frazee Says Sugger Has Been Badly Advised In His Talk About Breaking Contract---Decares He and
 Player Can Get Together Later

New York, Dec. 27-Harry Frazee, the Red sox president, doesn't seem to be much perturbed about Babe Ruths holdout. Ruth is under con- troI for 1920 and 1921 at salary of SIP, 900 a year, but his manager re- gently has announced on the Coast that Ruth would not report to Bos- ton unless he got a new contract for $2O. 900 next season.
 Ruth still Is under contract to the Red SoX,'' said F'razee at his New York office yesterday, "J have not heard a word from Ruth that he is dissatisfied with the contract he signed last spring, and I imagine if

CHANGES MADE
 IN LINEUP 0F
 HARVARD TEAM

Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 27-The liar ward football team, after a, short rest from its long trip across the cOuti- nent, worked yesterday afternoon for the first time on @ California field, motoring to the Tournam ent of Roses gridtron for an hours hard labor de voted chiefly to fundamental play.
 The Harvard squad reached Los Angeles shortly after 10 o'clock and was taken by automobile to the Ray nOnd Hotel here
 At 8 o'clock Bob Fisher took his team to the gridiron where Thurs days game is to be played If the initial Varsity lineup serves as a crt- terion Harvard will start against Ore gon somewhat differently than had been expected
 "BubbIes' Havemeyer played cen ire, where he started the game with Yale. This shift brought Arnold Hor- ween to left half back, where he re placed Dick Humphrey. This brings 8. 197-pOund man back into action, replacing a man 20 pounds lighter and a better defensive back. Ralph Horweeu played full back in the sig nal drill and Eddie Casey. entirely re covered from his cold, was at right half back.
 FHiske Brown, who was down to take Hubby CIark's position at guard, gave way to Nyuant Hubbard, who made his letter as 8 substitute tackle against Yale. Hubbard has plenty of agg-essiveness and fights to ~@e last ditch. Brown is strong, but needs e1I- psrience to prove himself. Tom Woods played right guard, Kane and Sedg- wick handled the tackles, with Steele and Desmond at ends. Captain AIur- Ray handled the first eleven at quar- tier back.
 As Harvard was finishing it's prac- / Sdce Coach Shy Hunting gt0n troued his Oregontans on the field for a light workout, having had a morning ses- sion there. Huntington and Fisher were introduced, and after carrying g on a, conversation had q short con ference concerning the officials for Thursdays game. The matter of handling the contest will be decided tonight at the Maryland Hotel, where both coaches will meet with the Tournament of Roses committee.
 QuigIey, the National League um- pire, who coaches basketball and other sports in Kansas and Merri~ man, a, Pennsy1vanian, are men who are favored by both coaches. Quigley Is recornn ended by NOtre Dame, and Merrirnan has the backing of Gil Dobie, Pennsylvania. and Pfttsburg.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 27-The
 Yale Alumni Weekly in it's issue to-
 day regrets the recent publicity con-
 corning the football situation, in
 dorses the inviting here of Tad Jones
 and the dropping of the old Football
 Committee, on which Walter Camp,
 Vance Mccormick and Joseph R.
 Swan were not reappointed.
 Its editorial follows;

 number of newspapers and Yale

 have taken it upon themselves last

 so it was. and Yale graduates were treated to columns in their local pa pers everywhere showing how rotten

 T. 4. D. Jones has been invited to re-
 turn as YaIe's head football coach for next year by common consent of
 the officials and we hope he accepts.
 Dr. Sharpe will continue the work for which he came, that is, the di- rection and upbuilding of general Yale athletics for the good Of the whole student body, something that many have wanted to see developed for many years.
 ''It was our idea in the first place that in giving Dr. Sharpe the first football season after the war and starting him as Yale's general athletic director at the same time the ath- Ietic officials were courting just the results that came about. The two offices should have been separated in the first place. Different types of men probably would succeed best in each. Now that this separation has tardiIy been made, we wish all sue cess to Dr. Sharpe in the place to which ho came to Yale last summer and to his successor as Yale's foot l ball coach

In the third after Grihths had landed a hard right to the body, Charles went down and was counted out Referee Corr, a noted English official said neither Grifdths nor Moore had fouled his opponent.
 The third American triumph was scored by Ted Lewis. who forced Matt Wells, the veteran EngIshman, to give up in the 12th session Lewis cut Wells to ribbons and the old timer was so badly weakened that he finally had to surrender. There are efforts being made now to match Johnny Basharn, the English welter- weight champion. with Lewis bus Basharn prefers to get a bout with Champion Jack Brittons with whom negotiations are pending.

Ruth is soreIy dissatisfied he would tell me first.
 But I do not intend to get into a discussion with Ruth. His winter manager is trying to get him as much publicity as he can, and I don't intend to help him.
 When 1t comes time for Ruth to report I don't expect to have any trouble with him If he has any grievances I guess we can fix them up all right. Last spring there was lot of talk before Ruth signed, but after l got him into my office it wasn't long before we fixed things up and he signed & three-year contract '
