RUTGERS TEAM SHOWS GREAT
IMPROVEMENT IN TEAMWORK

NEW BRUNSWICk.-Elatcd over
the victory over Virginia Poly last
Saturday. the Rutgers football team
now turns its attention TO the Uni
~versity of Virginia combination that
is to invade New Brunswick next
Saturday in the final home game OF
the season. Following this contest
the Scarlet eleven will attack the
hradest part of its schedule, which
includes games with Nebraska, UNI
~versity Of Detroit, Cornell. and West
Virginia.
Against Virginia Poly Rutgers
showed strength in two of the for
merly weak departments. The at
tack and defense ofthe aerial game
showed a marked Improvement, and
in Mort Redmond the coaches To-
Gated a punter and drop kicker OF
ability. In addition to getting away
several nice punts he scored three
points by a pretty drop kick from
the 42-yard line.
Another bright spot in the Rutgers
aggregation is Winner. He has been.
until saturday. a wing man. but a
shift TO the backfeld in this latest
contest demonstrated his ability as a
sure ground gamer. He is also at
tracing attention as a booter, and,
in view of the fact that this is his
first year at Rutgers. he Is regarded
as a future mainstay of the Scarlet

YALE CRIPPLED
FOR BIC CAME
Radical Changes Being Made
in Lineup, Preparatory to
Saturdays Game.

The defeat of Old Eli last Satur-
day by Boston college-the second
in two years-has resulted in radi-
cal changes being made in the Yale
lineup, which will go into effect
against West Virginia on Saturday
and remain for the rest of the season
IL the new lineup works successfully
in the coming contest.
Herbert Kempton, veteran quar-
terback. has been shifted to half
back, mad Thorne Murphy moved to
field, general. Murphy's injury in
mid-season prevented this shift last
year.. 1t is not certain whether MUIR
ply will be retained. as he is rather
fragile and too easily injured to
suit the coaches. Dan Kelly. fresh
man captain last year. was given
kempton's old position in scrimmage
drill yesterday.
Victor Stabeck has been placed at
left end. after serving as third string
halfback last Saturday. Ben Jordan
was used in the backfield practice
yesterday, Eli Cutler was given right
end and Campbell was assigned
right halfback.
All of the players injured in last
Saturdays game reported, Captain
Callahan with his injured wrist in a
sling, Quaile, French and Aldrick
were on the sidelines.
West Virginia is reported to be
physically fit for the big game on
saturday, and will have her regular
lineup in the field.

mike O'DOWD WILL FIGHT
AUGIE RATHER At CAMDEN

Because of the adverse and dis
puted opinions of a lot of the best
c. itics In the East and thousands of
fans anent Georges Carpenters ex-
hibition against Battling Levinsky
the chances are that the Frenchman
will be forced to appear in at least
one more bout before his claims for
a meeting with Champion Jack
Dempsey are recognized. And a
man who stands out prominently as
a probable opponent for Carpenter
is Mike O'Dowd, the Fighting Harp
of st. Paul. and still recognized by
many as the worlds middleweiGht
title-holder.
O'Dowd, a great favorite through
out the country because of his ag-
g~ressiveness, hard punching and
ever-fighting style. was introduced
at the acknowledgements bout and,
when it was announced that he chal-
lenged the Frcnchman, Mike was
rendered a deafening amount of APP
plause. 1t looked as if tn efans want
to see an O'Dowd-Carpentier setto,
and such a contest may now be In
the making.
Whether O'Dowd is to be matched
with Carpenter or not, the sensa-
tional and brilliant Irish battler has
a job to accomplish next Friday
night at the Camden Sportsmen's
Club. and il will be no cinch. Man
ager Herman Taylor, of the Camden
arena, has picked no easy task for
Mike, for in meeting Augie Rather,
of New York, the st. Paul puncher
Will find himself stacked up against
one Of the cleverest middleweights
in America.
This contest is to be a ten-round
and another great match on the
same program which will be sched-
uled for half a score of sessions will
bring together Willie Jackson of
New York, and Gene belmont, of
Memphis. Jackson and belmont
have met twice before, both times in
upper Jersey. and the first meeting
was so sensational that they were
rematched for two weeks later.
A important light heavyweight
contest on the card will show Gene
Tunney. the American T.. +. cham
pion, in action for the first time in
Camden, when he takes on Sergeant
Ray Smith. another veteran of the
great war. This will be a young war
in itself. because both men are VI
cious fighters, punch hard and each
a take it.
The opening match between
Johnny Mealy and Jimmy Murphy,
of Philadelphia, also will be an eight
rOunder and 1t will bring together
two of the greatest rivals in the
Quaker City.
