LEONARD TO BOX.
Lightweight Champion Will Meet Op- ponent to be Picked by Rickard.

New York, Nov. 11.-Benny Leon ard will be one of the contestants in the next boxing contest to be held at Madison Square Garden. Billy Gib- son, manager of the lightweight cham pion, yesterday affixed his signature to articles binding the title holder to perform on Nov. 26 against an oppon- ent to be named today by Promoter Tex Rickard. Other details of the contest, including the guarantees to be paid the boxers, will be made known by the promoter.
 Indications point to Richie Mitch ell ofMdlwaukee as the probable se- lection for Leonard's first bout to a decision at the Garden. Mitchell has been issuing challenges to Leonard for some time and apparently is quite eager for the match. He will receive a handsome offer from Rickard to meet the champion and unless he throws up great obstacles he will be the selection.
 If Mitchell makes demands which Leonard or Rickard decline to meet the bout will go to Johnny Dundee or Joe Yelling Both boxers have shown an inclination to meet Leonard any time the opportunity was afforded and each has given the champion an inter- esting time. Mitchell, who has been advancing rapidly of late, is regarded as a better match for Leonard, but if his demands are of the sort made by Willie Jackson of this city and Lew Tender of Philadelphia he will be passed up.

Hard Drill for Tigers.

Princeton. N. T., Nov. 11.-Prince- tons varsity went through a heavy scrimmage yesterday, the first in which Roper has driven his men since the Harvard game and probably the last of the season. The afternoon not only brought practice game but also a long session of dummy drills and an even longer period of signals.
 Garrity, Lourie and McManmon did not get into the lineup yesterday afternoon, for though they all are in good condition, Keene Fitzpatrick decided that a rest would do them good. It was the first time that Gar rity has missed a scrimmage since he returned to the squad in October after an illness.
 After practice the team saw movies of the Harvard game and Big Bill Edwards provided a jazz band for the scrub dining room, where the seconds ended their long training season last night.
