PERCY HAUGHT0N OUT WITH CRIMSON
HarVard's Greatest Football Men, tor Warns Against OVerConidence

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. I6.-This was an unusually busy Monday for the Harvard Varsity football men. who have had no hard drilling since they played the Jersey Tigers. With only four days between them and their game with Yale at New Haven. they started work yesterday in the funda- mentals. There was a session at the tackling dummies and later a signal drill for the three teams which have been in grooming for the entire season. The session started shortly after ? o'clock and lasted until dark. There was no scrimmaging. but the Varsity and substitutes were sent against each other for dummy drill
 Percy Haughton Was at Cambridge again yesterday. The former head coach went to Princeton with the other football advisers. and he does not share with the graduates the idea that Harvard is going to run riot against Yale down in the bowl. Yes terday before the practice Haughton talked to the team. cautioning them not to be overconfiGent and pointing out some of the strong points in the New Haven plays. He also went back into history. noting rhe years when Yale, with q team which Harvard ex- pected to beat. notably in 1897, 1899 and 1910, was able to stave off defeat and finish in a 0 to 0 tic.
 There was betting at odds of 10 to and 10 to in Boston yesterday. Harvard. of Course. being the favorite

UP TO LEONARD
Lightweight Champion Must Make 135 Pounds at 2 p. m. for Welling Bout, Or Forfeit Title.


 Bout, Or Forfeit Title.
 William Gibson. manager of Benny Leonard. the lightweight champion, strode into Tex Richards office yes terday afternoon and laid s10,00O on the desk of the astonished promoter. Whether it was in the form of a certified check. ten one thousand dol lar bills, or other denomination, may never be known. After giving MT Rickard a few minutes to regain his composure, MT. Gibson said:
 That money goes as a forfeit to guarantee that Benny Leonard will make 135 pounds at ? D. m. for his bout with Joe welling in Madison Square Garden November 26"
 If Leonard fails to make the re- quired weight, Yelling will get the sl0.O0O in addition to his compensa- ton from Rickard and a lambasting from Leonard, provided he consents to box If Yelling fails to make the weight he will forfeit only s2,500 to Leonard, with the lambasting still to come.
 Most important of all. however, is the provision of the state law pro- viding that if a champion fails to make the required weight his title shall be forfeited to his challenger. Therefore, if Benny Leonard fails to make the weight and loses his title and a S1o,000 forfeit to Joseph We'll ing, it is to he feared that MT. Gib- sons feelings will be seriously hurt.

TIGERS VICTORY IS
 DULY CELEBRATED
Princeton Pays Homage to Great
 Eleven for Beating Yale

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 16.-The his oric tower of Old Nassau was light ,d last night by the blaze of a huge championship bonfire, celebrating the Tigers successful football season and 1articularly her victory over Yale Saturday.
 All day the Princeton freshmen had been busy gathering everything 'ombustible within radius of two niles from the university campus, md many is the farmer who will miss his fences or his chicken coop or the nay rack cover in the morning.
 The pile was centered about the
 cannon just back of Old Nassau .tseif, the spot marking the center of undergraduate activities The can non itself is a relic of the Revolu- uonary Battle of Princeton, when it was left dismantled by Continental ar tlilery lire, to fall into the hands of Washington's troops In the century and more that it has stood nose down deep iii it's circular gravel bed amid the college lawns, 1t has felt the heat of many a victorious fire. but none moro joyous or, more pleasjnr to the undergraduates pride than that of last night.
 Real Reason for Joy.
 ' The names that lit the ivy-colored walls of the old buildings as brightly IS the morning sun and made a glow in the sky for ten miles around, bore the tidings that Captain Mike CaIla- hans team had defeated Yale the second years in succession, for the first time in twenty years. And no more could the New Haven rooters chant their song of "once in seven years'' nor Haunt the fact that Prince ton had yet to win a game from the Blue in her new Palmer stadium.
 As soon as classes were dismissed yesterday noon, roughly dressed mem- bers of 1924 began their systematic raids of the town. Wise storekeep- CTS retired their signs for the day and the old residents removed their detachable doorsteps and bolted tight their shutters, but, even so, many a landmark of Nassau street will be smouldering in grey ruin in the morn ing as this line catches the readers eye. Immediate resources being ex- hausted, the freshmen went further afield, and before long decrepit farm wagons and one-horse shays that had outIived their days of utility began to appear under loads of fences and logs Sometimes these went into the pile but moro often irate farmers came in during the lull at supper time and rescued the vehicles that were worth saving before the blaze started.
 Even the town water wagon lum- bered gayly across the campus under the care of twenty freshmen, but the local authorities came to its aid be- fore it disappeared under the rapid ly growing pile, and hauled it back across the lawns amid the hooting of the drawers of wood
 Students in Snake Dance. At s o'clock last evening a huge parade of students gathered behind the band and snaked-danced it's way up and down Nassau street to the strains of ''Yale. Yale, you can't play

the campus to the cannon. where Captain Mike, carried forward on the shoulders of his admiring classmates, applied the torch.
 The pile, which was a hundred feet across and fifty feet high, burst into a blaze and in ten minutes was a complete mass of flames which lighted up every nook of the campus and drove the spectators back against the walls of West Hall to escape from the heat. The flames lighted up two big signs, in orange and black paint, which placarded the score of Satur- days game to any who might be un- aware of Princeton's margin of vic- tory.
 When the blaze was at its height a dummy, dressed in a Yale football outfit, appeared in a window of West Hall and slid down an invisible wire right into the heart of the flames, where the heat touched off the heavy charge of black powder with which it was filled, to the huge glee of the crowd
