Teams
To Clash To-day
At Ebbets Field

Although the two leading scholastic
football teams in the city will be idle
in preparation for their final contests
OF Thanksgiving Day, to-day's schedule
is replete with important games. Eb-
bets Field will be the scene of two inn
portant contests. In the morning
Brooklyn Prep will stage Its annual
contest with St. Johns Prep for the
Catholic schools championship of
Brooklyn, and in the afternoon, Eras-
mus and Poly Prep will meet in their
twenty-frst annual battle
The Brooklyn-St. Johns game will
be the seventh meeting of these two
schools and for the first time St. Johns
appears to have a stronger team. Out
OF their twenty previous contests
Erasmus has won eleven, and Poly
seven, with two games tied. Poly,
however. has come up strong of late
years. 1t has gainel five victories in
the last ten years, to tour for Erasmus
with one drawn game. The annual
Erasmus-Poly contest has usually de-
cided the scholastic mpionship of
brooklyn, but this year neither team
is in line for the honors.
Stuyvesant and Evander Childs will
rSst at the Catholic Protectory
groufNS in the only game in Maahattan n
While there will be a double at
Commercial Field, Brooklyn. with
Flushing meeting Boys High at 1880
and Manual against New Utrecht in

EASTON. Pa, Nov. f9.-Lafayette
viii have it's best tenn on the field in
che game with Lehigh University here
tomorrow afternoon for the first time

Pittsburgh three weeks ago. The line
up will be: Left end. Hummel; left

night tackle Deible; right end, O'Con-
rell; quarterback, Brennan; left half
back, Gazella; right halfback, Le-
hecka; fullback, Seasholtz.
II was stated tonight that in all
probability the Lafayette team will
start the game without having a per-
nanent captain. No captain was elect
ed last fall or this season. Frank
schwab, the sophomore guard, has been
acting captain in every game, and no
doubt will DO so tomorrow.
BETHLEHEM. Pa, Nov. 19.-The final
touches in priming for Lafayette to-
morrow afternoon were administ stored
this afternoon, when Coach Ready sent
his Lehigh squad through a long signal
drill. Keady, with his assistants, Pat
!Pazzetti and Jimmy Murphy held q
brief conference before the workout,
and then the squads were divided off
into groups, with Ready and Pazzetti
working on the vars ty. Decidedly en-
couraging to the Lehigh cohorts is the
fact that the coaches have announced

De Foe was the lighter of the two.

than his exponent, who scaled in at
125& pounds. Despite this disadvan-
tage, De Foe fairly smothered belmont
IN every round except the fifth, which
was even. belmont left the ring badly
battered. while Daa Foe was unmarked.
belmont gave it UP as a bad job after
taking an assortment Of left labs to
he face and right hooks to the body
in the first five rounds. Thereafter

of the late eagle Eye" who also is
secretary Of the State Boxing Commits
sion, was referee, and he repeatedly
cautioned belmont against holding.

aight rounds, lasted two rounds less
and resulted in victory for Young

in the frst round. Al Norton, a slender
youth from Yonkers. tackled Danny

hook to the body in minute and 55
seconds of the first round. Papke
