NEW YORK, Nov. L.).-Boxing con-
tests minus decisions on points by ref
erees apparently are on the way to com
plete extinction. Richard Howell, who
recently was appointed boxing commits
sions for Bridgeport, Conn, has at the
outset landed a resounding thump on
the jaws of the boxers who delight IN
limited decisionless bouts, Referees

rounds. and champions with a stuGiel
Discrimination to risk their titles in a
contest to a decision doubtless will re-
main away from the Connecticut town.
Howell pays his respects to the de-
cisionless type of boxer in the following
shoulder language:
THE only meh who object to decision
bouts are the boxers and their man
ayers, and their reason for objecting
is that they can fool the public, and
keep on boxing without fear of their
official records being injured, knowing
full well that a no-decision contest cam
not carry any weight in the record
books. As a result OF these no-decision
bouts our boxing records have become
practically a joke.

Harvard DEFEATS
YALEELIS 1O3
Fifty Thousand Spectators
Witness Annual Clash Be-
tween Big Elevens.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 24.-Har-
ward Saturday defeated Yale by a score
Of 10 to 3 in their annual football
classic before So 900 spectators in the
stadium. which was crowded as never
before. Spectators will long remember
the field goal kicked by Braden for
Yale's only score in the last period. The
ball carried So yards with a 25-mile
wind through the center of the Har-
ward goal, after Braden had booted il
with MS line bending under a strong
Crimson attack. Scarcely less notable
was Casey's touchdown for Harvard,
gained in the second period through the
surprise accomplishment of a forward
pass. The Harvard star, catching a
pass thrown 10 yards by Quarterback
FELTON,, ran from Yale's 22-yard line to
the goal, using all his qualities Of
~elusiveness and speed to avert overtak-
ing by the Yale pursurers, Kempton
and Reinhardt. The Crimson touch
down was completed by a goal kicked
6y Ralph Horween. The latter, in the
first period had sent Harvard ahead
with q field goal booted from the 40
| yard line.
Harvard's back field, as represented
by Casey and Ralph Horween, fur
nished the punches which registered
Crimson victory. The Crimson line sup
piled a defense, which, under menace Of
a Blue touchdown in the third period,
held fast six inches from its goal and
robbed Yale of a tie and of the ball. IT
was virtually the only sustained show
of strength by Yale in the game.
The Blue team was its own greatest
enemy Saturday. It fumbled frequently.
-Four times the ball headed for the Har-
ward goal was lost to Yale and turned
against the Blue by fumbles in the Yale
back-field. On four other occasions,
Yale players lost the pigskin but their
errors were retrieved by fellow players.
Men who have 'ollowed football for
years said thert 'ad never been so
much faulty handling of the ball in
any other big game.
The extent to which Yale fumbles
cost the Blue the advantage Of its rush
ing strength today is shown in a sum
mary Of the play. Yale gained 207 yards
In 81 rushes, as compared with 92 yards
advanced IN 20 Crimson PUSHES; Har-
ward lost 10 yards in five negative at
tempts and Yale forfeited IL yards in
two unsuccessful efforts.
Kicking honors were virtually even,
the several men kicking for each team
averaging SO yards. Yale, losing the
ball so frequently by fumbles, punted
out only 13 times, as compared with 20
Harvard kicks from scrimmage. Run
ming back of punts gave Harvard q
total of 80 yards and Yale Is, but much
of the time the receiving player either
elected a fair catch or was without
gain.
The forward pass gave Har-
ward Ga yards in six attempts, three
of which were successful. Yale tried
this method seven times, gaining only
seven yards in it's two successes. FUN
bles and Harvard interception broke up
several others.

Ac Chief of Police Smith of New
Haven refuses to permit any bout in
that city unless the referee gives a de-

slightest doubt that the failure to give

with the FTawley law, n has been
copied by the wisconsin and Minnesota
