BENNY LEONARD
 READY FOR HIS
 BARTFIELD BOUT

New York, Nov. 8-Benny Leonard was working like a beaver yesterday afternoon at Stillman's gymnasium. Benny had just finished working and retired when Billy Gibson started to gossip. Billy, being the manager of Benny, is privileged to chatter freely.
 Benny is going to meet Soldier Bartfeld this coming Monday night in Jersey City, babbled Billy, ''and I firmly believe Benny will hatten this guy for a positive. Soldier has been chirping volubly since Benny pasted him in Philadelphia and tell ing the world he whipped my cham pion. Such talk must cease and Benny must trim Soldier so cleverly next Monday that the latter will tip his hat every time Leonard's name is mentioned"
 Benny is matched to meet Joe Yelling on Thanksgiving Day in the city of Philadelphia. Yelling isn't the fanciest fighter in the world, but he's fighter pure and simple. LeCn- ard will probably outpoint Joseph, but hell have to battle every minute

WILLK.O.ECGERS
 PUT KNOCKOUT
 ON Al SHUBERT?

Boxing fans are wondering if K. 0> Eggers will be able to pin the slum- Der punch on Al Shubert when the pair meet in the star bout of the East End A. c. show at the Casino, Nov. 13. Eggers packs a wicked punch. He seems to swing it from the floor and when it lands there is a sound as if a piano fell off roof.
 Eggers has appeared several times in local shows and has always given the fans a good run for their money. His appearance here in the ring with Young McAuliffe will be re- membered as a lively exhibition. In accordance with the rules of the box ing commission the star bout is scheduled for 12 rounds. Many reg ulations have been made so that the events will be seen as advertised.
 In the seni-finaI Frankie Wilson of this city will be seen in action with Jimmy Kane of New York; Wilson is a willing mixer and he will meet a tough customer in Kane. This af- fair is slated for ten rounds. There will be two other bouts. Young Me Auliffe will be referee.

NlCKALLS MAY
 RETURNTO YALE
 AS CREW COACH

New Haven, Nov. S-Although no one in authority to quote on the sub ject could be located last evening, a rumor, which apparently has a good Foundation, was current in crew cir cles at Yale, that a request would be sent Guy Nickalls, the English coach, to return to Yale and take up the crew coach assignment.
 NickaIls, it will be remembered, was exceptionally successful with the crews he coached, and was directly responsible for the return of crew work at Yale to the high position it now holds. Prior to his coming here, the affairs of the crews were in a terrible state. It being almost inn possible for the Yale eights to gain a verdict over the Crimson. Almost immediately after his assignment to the task, he turned out a winner, and kept up his efficient work for several seasons The outbreak of the war found him in his home surroundings, and circums stances prevented his re- turn to this country and to the uni versity.
 It is sincerely hoped that he will return, for with the departure of Mather Abbott, the outlook for a winner on the water looked none to bright. Nickalls is just the man Eli needs.

This same, which is comparable in the West with Princeton and YaIc-Harvard games in the East, should be as hard fought as those of previous years Michigan's team is not as strong as it's predecessors, but has revealed a good fighting spirit. The result seems to hinge on the question of which eleven has the stronger line.
 The unbeaten Ohio State eleven which seems to be on it's way to the championship, will meet Purdue, and, with it's list of injured much curtail- ed, expects a comparatively easy vic tory.

g.: Sporting Gossip From Many Fields :-:
Only One Vale Regular
 ()gl1 Of Brown Game
Injured Shoulder Will Keep Brown Oil Sidelines-
 Vale Confident.

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. S-Babe Allen, right end and the oldest man on the team, is the only Yale reg ular that will be out of tOday's game with Brown. Allen sustained Q shoul- der bruise in practice this week which rest has failed 10 remedy and the coaches will not take chances Of aggravating- the injury. His place will be taken by Barclay Robinson, late of the first college team, which corresponds to inc fourth varsity. He has played good football throughout the season and earned the right to receive a. trial in q regular same.
 No effort will be spared to win this game with Brown. It will be YaIe's aim to win. and to win early because Sharpe does not want to keep his varsity men in the game any longer than absolutely necessary.
 The varsity went through this sea son as they will line up today, which IS as follows: ReinharGt, left end; J9icI5ens. left tackle; Galt, left guard; daIlahan, centre; Acosta, right guard; Walker, right tackle; Robinson, right ead; Kempton, quarterback; Neville, Isft haIfhack; Webb, right haIfback, aAld Braden. fulbacz.
 FEBesides Aliens absence the only other change in the line consists or Gait and Acosta changing guards positions.
 sThe bacl1fieId is different from that which faced Maryland in that Braden has come up to regular full back. forcing out Webb to the right llaIfback berth, while Neville and Keupton are at left and quarterback respectively.
 This new baclzfieId is undoubtedly the best yet of the innumerabIe com binadons selected and presents a well balanced outfit. Braden, Webb and Neville are excellent line disturb CTS, Kempton and Neville excel in starting the ends Braden's toe is good for a field goal almost any where within the fifty yard zone while in bunting dueIs Yale will be ably represented by Joe Neville, whose punting during the week has been phenomenal.

 CHICAGO FOR
 CHAMPIONSHIP

Chicago. Nov Slight teams will swing into action today in the re newaI of hostilities for the Western Conference football championship, with interest centering in the games between Michigan and Chicago in Chicago and Illinois and Minnesota in Minneapolis In the other two Con ference struggles Ohio, the only un- defeated eleven in rhe race, will meet Purdue in Columbus, while North western and Iowa will clash in Evan stOn.
 The battle between Chicago and Michigan-the YaIe-IIarvard game of the West-wiU mark the first real struggle between these historic grid iron foes since Michigan dropped the Chicago eleven from it's schedule fol- lowing the season of 1905. Indica- lions last night were that a crowd of 25.OO0 persons would witness the contest. The Wolverines reached Chicago early yesterday, going later to Evanston for a brief workout on the Northwestern University field.
 The Michigan eleven is not the for nlidable team of former years, but is regarded as a fighting aggregation which will take advantage of the slightest error and turn a seeming de feat into a. victory After the start ling upsets of q week ago experts are unwilling to hazard a guess on the outcome of today's combat. Injuries, however threaten to weaken Chi cago. as two of it's most efficient Hnesmen. Jackson and NIcGuire, probably will be out of the game.
