By BRIGGS
From q Spccial CORRESPONDENT


NEW HAVEN, Conn. Oct 25-Yale's
lirst-string football players enjoyed a
layotf to-day because of the heat and
their fierce game Saturday against
West Virginl4. From the hospital
squad, Captain CALLAHAN, John Acosta,
Malcolm Aldrich and Jack French were
in togs, but aid not oven enter the
signal lineup, and Trainer John Mack
holds out no hope Of their being able
to face Colgate Saturday.
The coaches devoted the afternoon
to picking up Q vars " of second eleven
players, whom they sent against Dr.
Rilly Bulls scrubs for forty minutes,
the regulars scoring twice, and the
scrubs once. II hoNy, vhe has been

Steele, Star Quarterback,
Again Directs Fordham

Coach Joe Dumoe let up somewhat

practice at Fordham Field and put the
Maroon athletes through 4 compara-
lively hight drill. Several OF the regu-
lars, no were pretty we'll played out
after the game with GEORGETOWN la st
Saturday. were excused from yester-
days session, but the entire squad VIII
be hard at work again TO day with the
exception of Pat Miller, the plucky
center, who will be out for the rest OF
the season With the injuries he re-
ceived in the contest with the Blue
and Gray.
The Fordham players have a siren
uous week Of practice ahead of them,
for they have q lot Of football to learn,
q $ was perfectly evident last Saturday.
The Universit. of Detroit eleven,
which they Will meet next, is a power
ful team and should prove almost as
formidable an adversary as George
town. Dumoe is starting now TO get
his men in shape for the encounter
with the Westerners. He kept his pro-
teges at tackling practice for the best
part of yesterday afternoon, as they
rave not been showing UP very we'll in
this department of the game lately.
The tackling practice was followe d
" short signal drill. Cliff Steele,
the star quartz erback, was back at the
holm of the Maroon team yesterday
for the first time since the Boston
College game, over two weeks ago He
was sorely missed in the contest with
the Southerners on Saturday, and his
return will be a great help to the
TOrdham eleven.

Il is the first time in the history of
Fistiana that mystery was thrown
around a championship heavyweigh
bout, and the Sons Of the Caulihower
Ear are aghast and agog and other
wise agitated. They still hope, how
ever, that when the proper time comes
there viii be formal ceremonies and
that at least case of sarsaparila will
be opened. This match, they feel,
looks more like a pool in steel than
an affair in the squared circle.
1t is known that Rickard has been
trying for the Dempsey Carpenter bout
ever since he took over the Garden.
Dempsey always has been willing, but
Carpenter was tied to Cochran, the
English promoter, by an ron-clad con-
tract which lasts through this year. 1t
is evident that Rickard agreed to take
IN Cochran and William A. Brady, who
is Cochran's American representative
and man who knows Considerable
about promoting boxing bouts.
Room for $4,000 in Garden
If the bout is held in the Garden
there viii be room for only $4,000
seats. 1t will be million dollar bout
that is, the gross receipts will have to
be a million dollars or over. There is a
chance that it may have to be held in
some open air place with a greater
seating capacity. 1t will be stipulated
chat the bout shall be for ten or fifteen
rounds and to a decision.
Many boxing promoters have been
trying to sign Dempsey and Carpenter.
The international interest has been so
strong that there has been a wealthy
syndicate always ready to underwrite
the fight for an amount not revealed
but certainly a bigger amount than was
ever drawn by any championship bout

meet in post-season game or Decem-
Der at Washington, D. c. 1t is un-
derstood negotiations are under way
and that both institutions are in favor
OF such contest. The Springfield
Chamber of Commerce is also trying
to arrange a meeting for GEORGETOWN
with Syracuse on Thanksgiving Day.
"Chick" Meehsn, capable mentor of
the Syracuse eleven, was in town yes
tcrday and handed us an earful about
his fine, fighting eleven. The Orange
mentor quite naturally is clated over
the showing of his proteges, although
he isn't doing any boasting. He knows
only too we'll anything can happen be-
fore the end with such teams as Holy
gate and possibly Georgetown coming
along.
"I'm quite anxious about that Wash
ington and jefferson game. Those fell
lows have a fine team this year again,
with a wonderful set Of backs. I'm
nursing my team very carefully and
the fellows are coming along in great
shape That contest, I figure, should
be one of the best of the year, barring
none
"By the way, speaking of backfelds,

NO OeNniIe uate mas Deon set Tor the
fight and no definite place 1t is init
mated that the bout will be held in
Madison Square Garden early next
year. Carpenter will leave shortly to
join Nine. Georgette Carpenter for
the Christmas holidays, but before he
departs he will have put his signature
to the 'poiper" and Monsieur Francois
Deschamps, the hypnotic manager, also
will sign.
The amazing feature of this match
making is the coyness of the pro-
moters in regard to publicity. Here
tofore when q champion was about to
be matched the custom of the pro-
moters was to send for all the photog-
raphers, correspondents and wine
agents in the vicinity. The signing
was done with the wine corks popping
in the fairgrounds and the fashlight
machines booming in the backgrounds.
All Photographed-by Request
The articles were photographed, the
managers were photographed by re-
quest). Then the penmen would get
busy writing the checks for the for
feits and the promoter would sign his
forfeit with gold fountain pen which
afterward would be bought up by the
Eden Musee or some other historical
institution.
The only variation from the tradi-
tional matchmaking with all its cere-
monies was when Tex Rickard signed
the Dempsey end of the Dempsey Will
lard bout with borrowed fountain
pen against the shed of an Erie sta
tion. But this so shocked the sensi-
bilities of Fistiana that Rickard later
had formal signing with all the trim
mings.
1t is said that the reason why this
matchmaking was done in secret is
not relish the idea of heavyweight
~ fobes for the time being. Later the
boxing solons may be ready to let the
H.. OF the maulirg business sign
any heavyweights aot under the ban
Last night Jack Kearns, manager
for Jack Dempsey, said that there had
been no signing. Of course, Dempsey
was anxious to get the bout and was
negotiating, he said, but the negotia-
tions had not been completed and,
much as he disliked not to talk, he
would have to maintain silence that
was painful and unusual.
Promoter Refuses to Talk
Richard declared that he knew
nothing at all about tho bout which
he is to promote. This also seemed
unusual because Rickard ordinarily
knows all about bouts that he is to
promote. The mogul of Madison Square
was Us affable as ever, bat he declared
that he could not even talk about a
heavyweight match.
Late in the afternoon came an an
nouncement that the formal signing

There was an air of grim determine

afternoon when the Columbia football
warriors trottcd out for practice
With the defeat by Wesleyan still
fresh IN their minds, the men went to
work resolved to retrieve their lost
laurels.

concerning the disaster which overt ook

no doubt that the veteran mentor Will

That the varsity should have all the bad
football out OF their system for the full
season after the exhibition shown
against Wesleyan.
The rearranged varsity lineup pre-
sented strange appearance yester rday.
Captain Jack kicnninger again re-
ilnquished the pivot position to Brodil,
the giant oarsman. Brodil is tall,
rangy player with plenty of power al
though he still lacks the polish OF q
finished pivot man.
Walder resumed his station at right
guard, while Herman, who made a good
showing IN Saturdays game. was given
chance at left guard. Modarelli was
one OF the two veteran line players to
retain his position. He appeared al
left tackle. Scovil, who had been
transferred from tackle to end during
the last week, was again brought bac K
to right tackle, where it is thought tha,
ne Will be able to show 10 best advan-
tage. Forsyth and Pulleyn, who
were O'Neills early season choices 1or
the end positions, again filled those
berths.
Although there were no new faces IN
the backtied, still there was one I'M
portant change. Canapary, star baca-
field man, was found callin~ signals in
place of Eccles. CanapalF acted like
a real field general, and rs nigh play
ing morale seemed to inst.ll pep and
, confidence in the varsity Thornton,
Aoszczenski and Burtt were his run

O'Neill sent this combination against

serves were given crack at the

Harvard Decides
A geainst Numbers
I'm Princeton Game
From q Special Correspondent


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct 25.-There
doesn't seem to be the rcmotest chance
that Harvard viii follow the lead Of
Princeton and have its players wear
numbers in the stadium a week from
Saturday. The Tigers have taken up
the numbering of players in the in
tcrest of those who see their team
play.
Harvards objections to numerals,
which was especially outspoken when
Percy Haughton was in charge is that
1t makes the task Of the scouts easy.
However, in the Yale game in the
Bowl the chances are that the Harvard
players will be numbered, as this is
the Crimson's last contest of the sea-
son.
Varsity practice will be resumed to-
morrow. To-day was holiday for the
squad serving both as a gift ard q
relaxation for the fine game it played
against Centre. The second team had
its customary practice and started
working on the Princeton plays, which
it will use later in the week and next
week against the varsity.
The Crimson, the college daily, came
out edltorially to-day for q return
game with Centre here next fall. F. W.
Moore, graduate manager of the Har-
ward Athletic Association, has asked
the Southerncrs to hold a relative
date open for next year, but said that
this did not mean necessarily that the
game was clinched.
There doesn't seem to be any doubt
that the answer of the football COM
mittee will be favorable, as Head
Coach Bob Fisher and the former head
coach, Percy Haughton, who is mem
Der of the committee, have expressed
approval.
Harvard, however, wants to ascer-
tain what Centres prospects are for
1921 before getting down to business.
Coach Moran believes that all the men
who took part in Saturdays game will
return to college,

Fighting Spirit of Els,
Though, Makes Critics
Favor New Haven Team
BY Ray Mccarthy

Judging from the present gait Of
The teams the battle of the Big Three"
or the gridlron promises to be the
best ever this season. Football ex-
perts are of the opinion these elevens
are more evenly matched this fall than
they have been in years; each institu-
tion appears to be blessed with un-
usual material this year and the sup
porters of each are extremely conf
cent of the outcome of the triangular
erapple that is ready to begin.
One thing is certain, all three strug-
giles will be more than wonderful
spectacles this fall. Good football will
be shown as we'll, which means each
contest will be a thriller. On paper
the outcome of these games appears to
be toss-up. To dope the result seems
tc be well-nigh impossible. as nobody
can figure the human element nor how
the breaks will 20.
If we were compelled to name the
winner-and here an argument is sure
to arise-we would name Yale. simply
because Of the fighting spirit it has
displayed in its last two games. No.
