On OgIing Gift Horses.

Sometimes it may prove advanta-
geous to look gift horse in the
mouth" remarked an Australian con-
temporary recently. 1t was referring
to the proposed gift of six airships to
Australia and really meant always
look dirigible in its air-valve." These
six airships are said to have been on
patrol duty In the North sea and Brit
ain, according to cable message to
the commonwealth, has offered them
with hangar and equipment to the
oversee dominion. Australia's minis
ter for defense, Senator Pearce, has
placed the problem before the local
air board for decision. AS a COM
mercial proposition some enterprising
Australian company may welcome the
dirigibles, but as a defensive equip
ment they are not regarded with over
much favor. -

Measuring Colors,

An English scientist has, according
TO Popular Mechanics Magazine,
worked out method of taking exact
measurement of color. Black, white
and gray are photometrically COM
pared with standard white, and their
composition expressed in percentage
of black or white. A color, such as
red, is compared with white surface
in a pure red light. If the red ap-
pears darker, II is matched with a
gray surface under a red light, the
percentage of black then being the
same in both. Assigning the number
% to red, such composition as Gin
nabar would be signified by the fig
ures 20 .04 IS, meaning red with 4 per
cent of white and Is per cent of black

Jim LOndos Sure
He Will Conquer
Demetral on Mat

Jim Londos, the Little Giant" who
meets William Demetra1 for the Greek
championship Monday night at the list
Regiment Armory, bubbled over with
enthusiasm yesterday afternoon when
he wound up his strenuous training.
Londos is more than confident he will
win the Greek title; in fact, he is Won
dering just what inscription to have
engraved on the $1,000 belt which will
be presented to the winner.
Londos made little speech in which
he gave free expression to his views.
Gentlemen" he said, 81 would rather
defeat Demetral than Earl Caddock.
In my country they only know of
Demetral, for he is their champion.
Therefore, if I am successful in beat
ing him, it will give me much more
pleasure than to beat the best man
America holds"
1t is for this reason that the "Little
Giant" paid such particular attention
to his training. If he conquers Deme-
trail then he will be known as the
"Champion of Greece" To back this
up he will receive gold belt, valued
lat $1,000, emblematic of the title. Also
he is in line to obtain a match with
Joe Stecher. Despite the prospect of
this match, he wants to defeat Deme-
tral for the express purpose of being
recognized by his countrymen as real
champion.

Ne,u York May Lose
Arnay-Nauy Football
Contest This Year

A CCORDING to reports which
"A appear to have real founda-
tion, the Army Navy football classic
will not be staged in New York
next fall, at least not at the Polo
Grounds. The Navy has the choice
of selecting the place for the 1920
game, and while the Annapolis au-
thorities are not averse to playing
the contest in this city, it is said
that they were not wholly pleased
with the way the tickets were han
died last season.
In any event, those in the know
maintain that it will not be at all
surprising if the service gridiron
clash is shifted to the Yale Bowl
or Palmer Stadium. at Princeton
University. 1t is argued that either
OF these places could accommodate
q larger crowd than the Polo
Grounds and that either is as
conveniently located for the two
academies.
John B. Foster, ex-secretary of
the Giants, was largely responsible
for bringing the two teams to the
Polo Grounds.

Crescent Five Wins
From u. of Toronto
By a 46-27 Score

Craftier passing and deadlier shoot
ing enabled the Crescent Athletic Club
to defeat Toronto University at basket
ball on the formers Brooklyn court last
night by score of as to 81. The club
men carried their Canadian rivals
along at fast pace, and always held,
big lead after the first few minutes
of play.
Considerable credit is due the, To-
ronto team, as it is the first time dur
ing the last four years that the uni
versity has been represented on the
court. Several of the visiting players
saw service overseas.
The basket shooting Of the Crescent
men was more accurate than that of
the collegians, who missed many easy
chances. AT times the game was rough,
and Stewart, of Crescent, and Logan, of
Toronto, had to leave the game. Cres-
cent scored 20 field goals and Toronto
II. At half time Crescent led by 20
to 10.

Harvard Players,
In Joyous Mood,
Start for Home

PASADENA, Calf, Jan. 2-The Har-
ward football squad left to-day on the
long return journey to Cambridge,
Mass, fully repaid for the double
transcontinental trip by the victory
gained over the University Of Oregon
eleven. The Crimson triumph was the
first scored by an Eastern team in
the annual intersectional matches
here.
Discussion to-day by critics Of the
grdiron game largely concerned the
sational right halfback, IN catching
forward passes and freeing himself
from tacklers and Arnold Horween's
line plunging during the final period.
Fred Church was given credit for much
effective punting.
Little Manerud and Bill Steers,
whose drop kicks brought the Oregon
score to within one point of Harvard's
seven, also came in for favorable men
tioA.
That no new style Of play was un-
mented upon. Both elevens relied
mainly upon the old staples-line
plunging, across tackle buckles, around
end runs, punts and a few forward
passes.
Weight of the Harvard team. which
aggregated considerably more than
that of Oregon, played no part in the
victory, declared Robert Fisher. Grim
son head coach He ascrbed the sue
cess to his players pluck. 1t was the
first scrimmaging Harvard had done
since the close Of the Eastern season.
Coach "Shy" Huntington, of Oregon,
said his team would return home with
the knowledge that they had played as
hard and as clean game they could
and convinced that they had made a
commendable showing.

Now comes the report regarding the

Dugan twins are students at Holy

are said to be even better players
than their older brother Joe. One
thing is certain, If they have anything
it will be developed by the veteran

One need only glance at the various

Long Trip and Change of
Climate Prove No Obsta-
Gle. to Teams Winning
By Ray Mccarthy

Harvard's, defeat Of Oregon Univer-
sity in football Thursday, which de-
lighted all Eastern gridiron followers,
probably did more good for the game
than any other single feat of the first
wonderful postwar season. The vic
tory Of the Crimson furnished fitting
climax to one of the greatest of foot
ball years in that it probably insured
the staging of future East vs.. West
games at the annual Tournament Of
Roses.
Following the defeats Of Brown and
Penn on the Pacific Coast the idea be-
came prevalent that it was wellnigh
impossible for a team from the East
to make the 3,000-mile journey and
emerge victorious. 1t was said that
the difference in climate, the wearisome
travel and other factors so handicapped
elevens from the Atlantic seaboard
clusion. Therefore it was hardly worth
the expense to put on such an exhibi-
tion.
The achievement Of the crimson
jersyed warriors dispelled these illu-
sions. Harvard convinced the skcptics
that nothing is impossible in the world
Of sport, and not only did itself and the
East proud, but by its meritorious tri-
umph aroused greater interest in the
pigskin game than was ever before
shown. Henceforth we may look for
an annual East West struggle on the
gfidiron at the Tournament of Roses.

ball League will begin the 1920 cam
