BRUCCY AND POWERS WITH
 PATERSON FIVE
Local Team Expects Tough Game From Jerseyites To
 morrow Night.

For the second time this season the speedy Paterson team will le the Blue Ribbons opponents at Colonial hall tomorrow night. In their first feated by the score of A to 2s but since that time the Jerseyites have strengthened their team and will come down here determined to go home with a win.
 Frank Bruggy, who Is well known here, will be with the Paterson team and his presence alone ought to be sufficient to draw big crowd. Art Powers, brother of Joe Powers, who plays center for the locals, will be in the Jersey lineup and will play right forward.
 Manager Leavy is satisfied with his team the way 1t stands now and will make no changes.
 The last time the Paterson team was here they made a good Impree- sion and with a stronger lineup are sure to give the Ribbons a good run. The local team has defeated every team that has come here this year and are out to have a clean slate when the season winds up.
 Tom Thorpe will referee the game and Joe Waters will hold the watch. There will be dancing before and af- ter tho game.
 The game will e.art promptly at 8:;30 and the teams will line up as follows:

RICHARD KNEW BEFORE
 HE MADE OFFER DEMPSEY
 WOULD MEET JESS WILLARD

three weeks before the Willard offer.
 He said that Rickard asked him if Dempsey would be ready for the bat tie, and what his terms would be.
 Get Willard First.
 T told him." said Kearns, that it was foolish to talk to us before he got Willards signature, and at the same time I assured him that Demp- sey would be available if Willard was willing. Now that Willard has pledged himself, have no doubt that all arrangements will be made"
 The importance of this information lies in it's proof that Richards dec laration at the start that Willard's opponent was yet to be chosen, was nothing more than sKillfuI n4aneuv- ing. Rickard was a 'kating promoter, describing circles around the public to find out just how the crowd would receive the announcement of the fight, and as everything turned out as he had hoped 1t would, the fight will take place, and everybody in the promoting syndicate will make money.
 So all this talk about Fred Fulton and Georges Carpenter was for the purpose of sounding the sentiment of fight fans, and arousing interest and enthusiasm.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-02-03

According to Rene Rogaire in the New York Mail Tex Rickard had everything fixed whereby Dempsey would consent to meet Willard before he ever went out to Chicago to meet Willard Rogaire's story follows.
 The truth is delayed sometimes, but it arrives in the end, and now we know that Tex Rickard had an under standing with Jack Dempsey's man. agers at least three weeks before he made his s100,000 offer to Jess Will lard (we are not admitting that th!s offer was bona fide). that Dempsey would be available to fight the cham pion for the heavyweight title on July {.
 Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, unwtttingly admitted as much upon his arrival in New York yesterday.
 Kearns dropped in from Long Isl- and and immediately got in touch with sport writers all over town. feed ing them with interviews and to keep up the high standard of publicity that was raised early in the game in Chicago.
 In conversation with the writer he dropped the statement that he had had considerable correspondence with Rickard by mail and by telegraph

VALE FOOTBALL
 IS NOW BREWING
Large Squad is Expected Out for Practice - Jim Braden Only Player to
 Yet Return From Service.

New Haven, Feb. 3-Although 1ale's football plans for next season will not definitely be launched until after the general athletic committee lis reorganized, the undergraduate management will have a schedule [ ready for announcement before many yweeks, and plans will be laid for the 1919 season,
 Only handful of former varsity and freshman players has yet return cd to college and no early spring practice is contemplated,
 The new understanding between Harvard, Princeton and Yale calls for 1 DO organized summer practice, al though plenty of indiviudal work may [ be done.
 No season In the history of Yale football was ever awaited, however, with keener zest than that of next fall, and the largest squad in the his tory of Yale Is expected to be organ i tzed. The new Yale order, which calls for every undergraduate to get into some branch of sport, is expected 70 result in between 200 and 300 can didates being registered for the class | elevens which, 1t is believed, will be Tormed in conjunction with the large university squad.
 Only one member of the 1916 elev- en which defeated Harvard and Prinseton, has yet returned from war service, Jim Braden. the plunging fu1lback, is already training for the weight events and the hurdle. He i11as been selected captain of the track team, and is also playing on one of the class basketball teams.
 Braden was expected to prove the snost valuable member of the Yale Sbackfield during the season of 1917, but war compelled the breaking up of the most promising eleven to which Yale had looked forward since Ted tCoy's aggregation of 1909.

AMERICAN HENLEY AT PHILADELP PHlA.
Regatta Will Be Held May 31, With Possibly Eight
 Crews Competing.

New York, Feb. 3---The American Henley, one of the foremost rowing events of the year, will be rowed on the Schuylki1l river in Philadelphia on Saturday, May 31. The Stewards of the American Rowing Association at meeting at the Columbia Univers- ity club Saturday announced that the probable crews in the race would be the Union Boat club, Boston, Prince ton, Columbia, Pennsylvania, and An- napolis, Cornell, Yale, and Harvard will also be invited to take part in the regetta.
 The association plans to have the ful in the history of the event. and with at least half a dozen crews in the race 1t is expected that the event will be the most spectacular rowing affair of the season. With the tenn porary elimination of the Pough- keepsie Regatta, the American Hen ley takes on added significance this season.
 season.
 This distance of the race will be one and fve-sixteenths miles, which is becoming the accepted distance for most of the college events. The re- gatta may grow in proportions, be- cause 1t is planned not only to hold races between the first eights, but also between junior and freshman eights. The association will also endeavor to renew interest in fours and single sculls, and if enough interest is shown in these events they may also be in cluded in the program. It will be many years since there have been sin gle souls in regattas made up of col lege crews.
 It was also decided that the Chiids Cup race would be rowed this year at Carnegie Lake, Princeton. The date has not yet been decided, but 1t Is believed 1t will be some time early in May,

AS A
 HUNTING MENACE

The airplane fin its quick flight to commercial uses Is now rec ognized as MENACE to game and game birds.
 In any case the New Jersey Fish and Game Conservation League in making up its IegisIa- tive programme for the year will have B bill introduced in the State Legislature
 ''To prohibit hunting WITH or or FROM flying machines"
 This certainly is taking time by the forelock, although the story Is on record of Latham, one of the pioneer flyers who lost his life crossing the English Chan neI, shooting wild ducks from his airship.
 New Jersey, being forwarned, proposes also being fore-armed.

It was not explained how the rail roads and sewers are going to be built if immigration is prohibited, but probably the school teachers, ministers, newspaper reporters, and poets, may be willing to do it for the wages it pays,
