kiENNlNGER BACK
IN COLUMBIA LINE
Regulars VIII Be Ready for
Hard Workout To-day.

Johnny Kienninger, captain of the
Columbia Varsity eleven, got back to
his old place at centre yesterday after
noon. He has been out ever since the
season began with bad shoulder.
ONeill failed TO order the expected
scrimmage yesterday, preferring TO wait
until this afternoon. when all the reg
ulars will be fit for hard workout.
1t seems very likely chat O'Nelll will
keep Scovil and Forsythe at ends for
the remainder of the season, as they
are the only two men he has who
satisfy the requirements of weight and
speed.
ONeill hailed the return of Apple
baum to the back field with delight.
Applebaum is a powerful line crashing
back and will be valuable in the early
stages of the game to help smash the
opponents defence. Eccles again was
at quarterback. He will probably re-
main there. He ran the team In fine
style against Amherst. Burt Is being
groomed to take his place at any time.
but there is little likelihood Of his being
used except In case OF an emergency.
The line as constituted yesterday and
which Will probably take the field
against Wesleyan is the heaviest Co
iumbla has had in years. From end To-
end O'Neill has an average of 1872
pounds. an average of which few
coaches can boast.

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YonK HERALD.
LEXINGTON, KY. Oct. 19.--In every
Kentucky town and cross roads settle
ment where the inhabitants know what 4
football is; through the South and even
unto Texas. where most Of the Centre
College star players are from. every
man. woman and child big enough 20
wonder is beginning to speculate to-
night on the Centre-Harvard game at
Cambridge on Saturday.
There is no betting here or Mt Dan
vile, the home of Centre College. There
would be no takers. for everybody be-
lieves in their heart that Centre Will
tear Harvard's eleven into little bits and
strew them over the field The one
topic of conversation is the Harvard
Centre game. Horse racing. that natu-
raj subject for Kentuckians. has gone by
the board for the time being. and even
politics, with the hottest campaign In
years ON, for the moment Is in second
place.
But while the public and the Centre
eleven are confident. Coach Moran. who
Yields a National Baseball League indi-
Gator In the summer season. Is taking no
chances. He is working his men to the
utmost and stopping just short of maxi
ing them stale. Whatever trick plays
he has he has kept to himself and to
his team. Not once In the three games
played so far by Centre against Horris-
Harvey of West Virginia. Howard Col

but straight football But he has some

Last Saturday. while Centre was lam

CROSS WINS ON FOUL
FROM KID HERMAN
Californian Disqualified for
Striking Below the
Belt.
by CHARLES f. MArH1soN.

To disqualify a contestant In the main
round. requires considerable courage on
the part of a referee. But that is ex-
actly what Moe Smith did at the Com
monwealth Sporting Club last night in
the opening round OF bout between
Marty Cross. well known Eastern weller.
and lilly Kid Herman, a California
middleweight. After three warnings to
Herman for hitting low, Smith on the
next offence, which practically disabled
Cross, wavei Herman to his corner and
gave the decision TO Cross.
The men had hardly started the first
ronnd when Herman whipped left
into Cross below the belt. Marty made
a wry face but went on boxing. Shortly
afterward Herman landed another low
blow and was warned by the referee,
but the cautioning went for naught, as
Herman as soon as he got to close
quarters ripped his left into Cross be-
low the belt. Marty doubled up and
seemed about to fall. but kept his feet.
although he was compelled to back
away out of range and support himself
on the ropes
1t was then that Smith stopped the
encounter and disqualified Herman.
Quite naturally the crowd that filled
every inch of SPACE in the building was
disappointed. But they realized that
the ruling was just and took philo-
sophical view of the matter. Their dis
appointment was lessened when the
management announced that holders of
coupons would be admitted to the clubs
next entertainment
The other fifteen round match, in
tth I1a
Lew Williams were the contestants. also
was cut short Williams was beaten to
the floor In his own corner in the sixth
round, and in comfortable sitting posi-
ton listened composedly to Referee
Smiths count Williams made no at
tempt to get up and was counted out.
Williams was not entirely to blame,
as he was the recipient of a low blow
in the second round that doubled him
up and necessitated a rest before he
could be induced to proceed Williams
was as much entitled to the decision
as was Cross. for in each case the blow
was palpably foul, although not APP
parently intentional. Herman weighed
1855 TO 143 by Cross.
In the first bout of the night Tony
Peters stopped Johnny Duffy in the fifth
round of a one-sided contest.
The second six round bout was the
only one on the card that lasted the
init Danny Lee, weighing 1913 pounds,
gave severe drubbing to Eddie Mir
man, 12S pounds. Lee took the count
four times in the fourth round, once on
the fifth and once in the sixth. AS soon
as the going became too hot for Mirnan
he would flop to the floor and rest till
the referee counted nine. when he would
arise and resume the battle. William
Rothwell, who as Young Corbett made
history by giving Terry McGovern his
first Knockout was the referee of the
bouts. Barring a tendency
to run between the boxers too often,
Rothwell did very well.

NEW QUARTERBACK
Frugone, Handling Team the
First Time in Scrimmage,
Plays Impressively.
Special DESPATCH to TIE I1rnAlp.

SYRACUSE, N. Y. Oct 19.-More than
one hour was spent in scrimmage drill
between the varsity and freshmen this
afternoon and at the close OF the work
Coach Chick Meehan. Line Coach Bill
Horr and End Coach Joe Schwarzer
were pleased. for the big fellows
showed more drive In their offence and
as good defence as they have all sea-
son.
No less than seven times did the var
sity warriors cross the freshman goal
line. something that they have not been
able to DO in any of the scrimmages
held heretofore. while when the cubs
had the oval they could not hammer
the Orange forwards for any gains at
all.
That Meehan realizes that the Orange
is in for gruelling struggle at Hanover
saturday can be seen from the way THAI
he Is urging the players to show fight.
He knows that Dartmouth always bat
ties to the bitter end and he warns his
players 10 keep this in mind every sec
ond from the time that they so on the
gridiron on Saturday.
Coach Meehan tried four quarterbacks
to-day, the three who played in Satur-
days contest against Pitt. and Frugone.
substitute halfback. who In the early
season games played good football.
Frugone was In longer than any of the
other quarterbacks and, although it was
the first time he had ever called signals
in a scrimmage. his work was impress
sive, and tonight many are predicting
that he will get the call in some OF the
big games and that he may be started
at quarterback on Saturday. He has
plenty of dash. but whether he can
diagnose weak points in opposing teams
remains to be seen. However, Cowell.
Parker and Guide. who played quarter
back on Saturday. do not seem to fit
Into the machinery very WE'LL and that
is Meehan's only worry just now. Fru-
gone has started well. and If he does
not prove to be false alarm the worries
OF the season are at an end unless some
injuries occur.
Abbott. the star booter and halfback.
limped around bit in the scrimmage
from a hard knock he received. but
Trainer Charley Porter said that he
would have the big fellow in fine shape
before Saturday.
The squad of twenty-four players will
leave here Wednesday night. No an
nouncement OF the men who will make
the trip will be made until after prac-
tice "Wednesday.
