Bout With Sailor Fried
man Will Display the
Champions Condition
BY Jack Lawrence

Benny Leonard, lightweight cham
pion of the world and just now one of
the most interesting figures in boxing,
VIII make his temperance in the ring
tonight after an absence from comne-
tition of several months. His oppo-
nent is Sailor friedman and they meet
for eight rounds in the Ice Palace at
Philadelphia
IT Leonard is in his usual form
friedman should not prove trouble
some, although the sailor has recently
handed Lew Tender, Phiiadelphia's pet
lightweight, two pretty pastings. The
lightweight king has not fought since
ne injured his thumb lass August while
traiping for a fight with Tender in
PhiIAdelphia.
Leonard's appearance tonight will
be watched with keen interest by fans
over the country, despite the com
parative mediocrity Of his opponent.
This is due to the myriad rumors that
have been in almost constant circula-
tion since the canceling Of the Tender
hight. One of these reports was to the
erect that the champion did not injure
his thumb at all, but was forced to call
off the Tender engagement because he
was in bad condition and could not get
into shape.
All sorts Of stories have been going
the rounds Of boxing circles, one even
alleging that Benny's ring career, for
some mysterious reason, had suddenly
been brought to close.
Start for Long Campaign
The fight tonight marks the starting
of long and arduous campaign which
Billy Gibson, manager of the cham
pion. has planned with view to secur-
ing match with Jack Britton for the
welterweight championship of the
world.

About $4,000 Expected
to Witness Annual Clash
of Cadets and Middies
BY Ray Mccarthy

There isn't stadium, an amphithe-
ater, or any kind of arena in the world
large enough to accommodate the null
titude clamoring for admission to the
Army-Navy game which will be played
Saturday on the Polo Grounds. The
report is that more than 100000 want
tickets. The seating capacity of the
Polo Grounds for football games is
1000. What to do with the other
10000 or more nobody knows.
Every seat has been sold or given
away. The Army and Navy athletic
associations give their tickets to mem
bers, of whom there are many thou
sands. In reality, excluding the boxes,
there are or were only 5000 seats to
be sold. These are handled by the
New York National League Baseball
Club.
There are something like 1900 seats
boxes have been sold out at S100 box.
A small number Of boxes have six
seats. These sold for $3.50. When
everybody, including the players and
scribes, are crowded into the inclosure
it is figured that about $4,000 will be
within the gates.
Many people who attended the Yale
Harvard game last Saturday figure
that the "break" came when Charley
Buell. made his great run back Of
Aldrich's punt just before the close of
the third period. That was the turn
ing point all right.
Break Came Before Run
But to our way of thinking the
break came just previous to Buell's
run. 1t will be recalled that in the
third period Yale was marching along
to touchdown, or in that direction,
when Owen intercepted forward pass
on his own 3O-yard mark
Fits Immediately punted, a wonder
full kick that went out of bounds on
Yale's 14-yard line. That kick pulled
Fair Harvard out of very bad hole.
However, Yale still had the edge, And
with the third quarter fast waning, 1t
would go into the final period with the
wind in it's favor
The Ellis, from the 14-yard line, con-
fidently began another drive up the
field. O'Hearn ripped his way through
the left side of the Harvard line for
seven yards and on the next play Jor-
dan made 1T first down on Yale's 25-
yard line.
Then came that fatal "break.~ As
Jordan plunged through the line UNI
pire Thorp detected holding on the part
OF Yale forward. SO that instead of
having the ball on it's own 25-yard line
with four down to go. the Blue found
itself back on its 12-yard mark, with
only two downs left. OHearn, running
from a kick formation, did manage to
pick up six yards, and then from his
own 15-yard line Aldrich was forced
to kick. 1t was that punt which Buell.
ran back forty yards and which led up
to Owens touchdown.
Buell's run back, of course, could
not have been checked, except by better
play on Yale's part. The penalty OBJ
viously could have been easily avoided.
There is no telling what would have
happened had it not occurred. But
breaks are all part Of the game.
That penalty, in our opinion, was the
'big break" There were others. such
as the tumble in the first period on
which three Yale men failed. giving
Harvard life-saver. Practically the
only break that favored Yale was the
penalty which Harvard incurred on the
play that Owen went over for a second
touchdown.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-22
Ellis Had More Power

Many are still trying to figure the
cause of Yale's downfall. They believe.
as we do, that the Ellis had more power
and better material The answer. as
we see it, is that the Crimson played
smarter football
In the first place Yale had no scoring
play; or If it had one it failed to show
it. 1t is doubtful if Owen with all of
his power and strength would have been
able to plunge over the line IL Buell.
did not have that bluff forward pass
play to spread the defence.
May are inclined to blame young
O'Fsnrn for poor generalship. From
whs1 we have seen Of the youngster he
seems to be. endowed at least with an
average amount of intelligence. And
I it is quite likely that he selected all
of the best plays in the Yale category
for advancing the ball.
Yale made the mistake in trying to
rush the ball the greater part of the
field. When it got within striking dis
tance Of the goal line the punch was
lacking. Why? Naturally, because the
