She was just an ordinary old woman.

Then she walked out of the store,

Go to the domino. thou dress luggard,
seems to be the advice of the Paris de-
signer this autumn. Combinations or
black and white are found on every side.
Particularly are the evening gowns OF
black and white velvet worthy Of note.
One Of the most successful of the
princess models of the Madeleines is,
for example, made Of white velvet with
appliqued motifs of black velvet.
The evening cape from Chanel, which
we illustrate today. observes the same
tradition OF color and fabric. Of wnitc
velvet, this wrap Is trimmed only with
a collar Of black and white monkey fur.
And. by the way, monkey fur of either
snowy or sooty tint is just as influential
with evening wraps as II Is with every
other item of winter wear.

Sport Programme
 Under Way at "

The athletic programme of the Young Mems Christian Association is now well under way, and with the opening of the City Volleyball League in a few days all branches of athletic activities will be in full operation.
 Regular claSsworle in physical instruc- tion opened several weeks ago with all classes we'll attended Wrestling classes have been organized under the super vision of Payne Love, an expert mat artist and possessor of many awards for skill. Organizing and stimulating interest in track teams and promotion of class competition are some of the fea- lures of the years programme as mapped out by Physical Director W. w. Abell. The wrestling classes will meet Thursday evening.
 Boxing class got away to a good start at the ''Y' last Tuesday when instructor Battling Kelly formed the class and gave his pupils few pointers as to the ele- mentary workings of the scientific end of the game. The Y. M. c. A. plans to foster this form of competition to the fullest extent and every effort will be given toward impressing the members of the desirability of the lessons. At present the class numbers but fifteen. but a con- siderable addition in membership is looked for
 the regular class instruction in gymnas- tics. These classes are unusually large and embrace wide range of ages. They are divided, with consideration given the ages and occupation of the members. In one class all members are boys who are just becoming acquainted, with the gymnastic diversions On the other hand, there are classes whose mem bers are somewhat advanced in age, but not in appearance, due to the beneficial effects of the gymnasium. This branch of the Y. NJ. c. As work is one of the best organized departments of the asso.' citation, and it's membership is now prac- ticallv double that of last year.

NORTH CAROLINA LOSES
 OUT TO GEORGETOWN

Washington, October 9.-North Carolina State, conqueror of the Annapolis mid shipmen, was defeated by Georgetown University here today 27 to 0. The game was played in midsummer weather, bur the Hill Peppers seemed to mind it faI less than did the southerners
 State got away with a rush and foI two periods outplayed the Hill Peppers, executing several forward passes and gaining much ground on end runs and line plays. Penalties for holding in the line and offside play, however, over came much of the advantage gained, and only once was Georgetown's goal threat ened.
 The Hill Peppers showed a complete reversal of form in the last two periods. They opened a smashing attack on States line and gradually wore the vis- itors down until in the final period they had little difficulty in adding to their total of points. Quarterback Flavin was the leader in this attack; but he varied it with forward passes and a kicking game, at which Georgetown proved the superior.
 State made several costly fumbles and these were turned to good advantage by Georgetown, one touchdown resulting directly from such a mispay.
 The lineup:
 F eorgetown-Formoso, left end; Sulli- van, left tackle; Comstock, left guard; Anderson, center; Smeach, right guard; O'ConneIl, right tackle; Kenyon, right end; Flayin, quarterback; Ward, ieft halfback; Malley, right halfoack; Leighty, fullback.

 Trouble Filling Tackle .a BerthS
By JOE T. HATCHER

Nashville, Tenn, October 9. Especial. )-Tech will rule end on favorites in the game next Saturday with Coach Me Gugin's Vanderbilt outfit be- cause of the heavy bulge in weight on the line and in the backfield.
 , Coach McGugin has as yet been unable that can hold their own against the heavy Tech forwards. He has the neces- saryl poundage in Holmes and McCul- Tough, but both lack essential charac- teristics for high-class tackles. Both are powerful men, but lack aggressiveness and punch to make their way against the caliber of tackles boasted by Tech, Auburn, Alabama and other opponents for the year McGugin is concentrating his attention upon this pair and may de- velop them into top-notch performers before the season has advanced far.
 With Jim Early lost for the greater portion of the season with a dislocated shoulder, Hendrick and Bailey are being kept on guards in spite of their weight and ability for tackle berths. Their ex- i perience and fight will greatly offset ] Hurs light weight and inexperience at the pivot position in the line.

WrestLers Ready
 For 1920 Season
Jack Curly, Mat Promoter, Pre-
 diets Best Season Yet

With the winter season coming close, the wrestlers are fetching their togs from the attic. removing the camphor balls and getting ready for busy season.
 Jack Curley, who looks after the mat snort in New York and nearby cities, yesterday made the following statement:
 T look for the best season that wrest- ling has ever enjoyed. Already several foreign champions have contracted to ap- near in America and with the new faces will come added interest. Amongst those who will invade the United states during the coming season are: Cana, the ln- dian; Andre Cherpilord, Swiss; Lattinen. Finn. Constant LeMarin, Belgian; Nah mont Bulgarian All these men will mix with the American wrestlers and foreigners already on the ground, and several new faces will be shown in con- tests.
 Hoe Stecher. who holds tho champion shin title is ready to take on all wres- Hers entitled to a chance; Earl Caddock will essay a comeback. Ed Strangler Lewis is headed east from his Califor- nia home in condition to conquer the world, and the two Zbyszkos. Wladek and Stanislaw. have, trained all summer at Old Orchard. Maine Ad Santell the coast crack Jim Londos, John Pesek, Joe Stanel and many others will be seen in action.
 'T will continue to do no business with men who have Neen a knock to the game and have been associated with gangs like the Mayberg gang and besmirched the good name of sport The scandal in baseball which so recently upset the sport world is good example of how eafeful promoter must he.
 Wrestling will never fall into the hands of the unscrupulous if I can help t. And, judging from the support the public gave the New York shows last reason, I have every reason to believe hat I am satisfying the fans"

Another Son of
 Erin Challenges
Jimmy Duffy Defies Light weight Kings-Rough and
 Always Ready

Another fighting son of Erin is out with def to every lightweight manipu- Iator of the upholstered knucks extant. He is Jimmy Duffy a rough, tough Mick of New York's West Side. who has coped with more or less success with all the leading lights of the 1s5-pound divi- sion.
 Science has no place in Jim's category of swat. He is fighter, pure and sim pie, who doesn't know the meaning of the word quit" He has met Leonard. Tender. Jackson. Fitzsimmons. Well ling. Dundee. Cline, Kansas, Hartley. Britt, Doyle, Bloom, Adair and countless others, and has yet to be knocked off his feet And not few of his bouts have ended with his opponent doing spread eagle over the canvas. Duffy ad- mits that he would like to box Leonard. Jackson. Tender, Fitz and all the other so-called terrific punchers. All of them have bounced punches off Jimmy's chin and none of them even jared him.
 Jimmy is we'll liked by the West Side Harps who back him to the limit when he fights, regardless of the ability of his opponent. They have seen Duffy swap socks with the best in the land and they know that they bet on a fighter of no mean ability M
 Eddie Mead, who manages Joe Lynch and Andy Chaney, generally conceded to be the leading contenders for the ban. tamweight and featherweight titles, re- spectively. is the guiding hand at tho tiller of the Duffy craft and he is con- fident that he has an embryo champion in the Irish lad.
