Princeton Tiger
Different Feline
against HarUard
From Sorry Looking Cat,
Orange and Black Mascot
Changes to Dangerous

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-TwO weeks
ago the Princeton Tiger was a sor-
~ looking feline. Now he is a cat
OF a different complexion and no
body realizes this aGy better than
Bob Fisher. head coach at Harvard.
Fisher lead a squad Of Al players
New Yorkward Thursday afternoon
on the first leg Of their march
toward the Tigers lair, and was ap-
prehensive regarding the outcome Of
Saturdays game and not without
cause.
If Centre college could sneak up
on the crimson as IL did last Sat
Urday, what might not Princeton
do? The Tigers, despite a drubbing
received at the hands of the navy
and Chicago, may be an altogether
different football team against Har-
yard.
AS a result Of his fears for the
big crimson steam roller that some
times fail to get UP as much steam
as expected. Fisher has switched his
lineup again. Henry Clarke, the
16S pound snapper back, who had
the center position sewed up until
Wednesday is not going 70 start
against Princeton. Coach Fisher has
moved Charley Tierney from right
tackle TO the center Of the line. re-
placing Tierney with Al Ladd. This
was done because Fisher was afraid
his rush line lacked enough pound
age in the middle TO withstand the
driving power of the Tigers.
Princeton, incidentally will have
its strongest lineup in Saturdays
game. All Of the regulars. including
Don Lourie, who will start at quar-
ter back; Hank Clarity: Stanley
Keck, GLORY and Cleaves will be in
there to chew up Crimson Jerseys
and it will be no surprise u this
writer should Princeton succeed in
defeating Harvard for the first time
since 1911.

As snapper back, he has not

Coach Robinson has him backing up

And Shurtlefi does his work in

to spend too much time pulling
them this way or that way and I've
never found any use for them" said
Shurtleff when asked why he did
not wear one.
This is Shurtlefrs last season and
every one is pulling for him to go

He would rather play football

FRESHMAN ELEVEN
TO TACKLE CULVER
Conquerors OF Great Lakes
Sailors Confident They
Can Beat Soldiers.

Notre Dame is bound to whip the
Army one way or another. For while
the varsity IS fighting on the plains
at West Point, Barry Holton's fast
going freshmen viii tackle the Gull
yer Military Academy team at Gull
yer. The frosh whipped the sailors
at Great Lakes a week ago, and
they believe that they can turn the
trick with the soldiers tomorrow.
They probably will win If they dis
play the same pep which character
ized their playing at Great Lakes.
They were irresistible on that occa-
sion. The reason was that they fin
ally had become interested in their
work and really tried TO win.
The Culver team should prove no
easy opponent, however. Every year
the Military academy turns out
team which gives the n. D. fresh
men as hard a game as any other
school on their schedule. The ca
diets are reported TO be in good con-
dition for the game. The freshmen
are also in tip top shape, with the
exception of Jimmy Crowley. star
halfback. Jimmy has been i'll for
several days with stomach trouble.
Which he attributes to overeatinS.
He is expected to get into condition
however. by tomorrow, and help his

RENDERS SWITCH
BACKFIELD FOUR
In BIG PRACTICE
Second Team Line Works
With First Team Backfield
to Provide Opposition.

The South Bend High school foot
ball clash with Nicholas Sem school
OF Chicago was cinched yesterday
afternoon when the signed contract
of the football officials Of the Windy
City institution arrived at the local
high school mentors Office.
For a long while the game has
been pending but the final decision
in the matter was not verified until
yesterday. This game is regarded
as a chance for the local eleven 10
redeem itself for the defeats receiv-
ed at the hands Of Gary and Clinton.
Burnham does not seem satisfied
with the competition furnished by
the second team and switched his
premier backfield over to the second
string aggregation. This makes
them play against the first team line.
The opposition IS much stronger and
the result Yesterday was that only

Betting in the East is lively. but
win the wagers are all being made
az even money. Evidently the
gamblers are afraid OF ROckne's rep
utation for cleverness. His teams
have pulled the unexpected so many
times in the past. that his name has
become a synonym for football STRAIT
egy. and no wise better is willing 20
give odds against one Of Rockne's
teams.
Army At Full Strength.
Coach DAILY will throw his full
strength against Rockne's men at
the start Saturday in an effort to get
the jump on Notre Dame. Despite
all reports to the contrary. followers
Of the game believe that his lineup
will also include the mighty French.
French, who has been injured since
the early part Of the season. is re-
ported TO be in no shape for this
game. but scribes are placing little
credence in the story.
The Rockers viii be in good shape
physically. They have been very
fortunate this year in the matter OF

big games without suffering a single
serious accident.
Rockne is getting them to West
Point in plenty Of time 10 recover
from the fatigue OF their long jour
ney. They will arrive this noon, and
after resting for several hours, will
take a light workout on the Plains.
A good nights sleep should get them
in perfect condition for the battle.
Battle II will be-there is no doubt
about it. We are inclined TO think
that the East, in its enthusiasm for
the Army, has really underestimate

lieved that the loss of George Gipp
has weakened the Irish As a mat
ter Of fact Notre Dame has much
better team this year than last. even
without Gipp. The backfield is
speedier. the line stronger; backfield
and line together make the smooth
est working team we have seen in
collegiate circles for many a year.
If West Point really has the great
team which the metropolitan papers
claims il has (and il should have,
there is no questioning the football
intelligence of Henry Farrell of Jack
Veiock) then the battle of the cen
fury Will result, and the Plains at
West Point will witness as bitter a
struggle as college football teams

plains How Pilotless Pug

NEW YORK, Nov. Manages
and boxers have miSinterpreted a
recent ruling OF the New York state
boxing commission. Whereby con-
tracts must be fled with that body.
1t was believed that In order for a
boxer TO appear in a contest in that
state il would be necessary for him
TO have a manager That impress
sion has been dissipated by the COM
mission. and an announcement has
been made by the solons that they
would greatly prefer a nitt-an 70

In an effort TO bring down the
high cost Of boxing the commission
in New York has added another
rule by the terms Of which a mana
ger cannot cut more than a third
OF boxers net earnings.
Keep Their Earnings.
Charles i. Mathlson Of New York
explains the new regulations OF the
commission and brings out each
point plainly as follows:
THE inference is that when box
ers are relieved Of the necessity Of
handinS their gross earnings to
their managers they may be willing
to spar a few rounds for a trifIe less
than the amount of money in the
subtreasury.
ITO further accentuate the neces-
sity for less expensive boxing the
commission announced that Il was
not necessary for boxer 10 support
a manager.
"a report had been circulated 20
the effect that a boxer minus a man
ager would not be permitted TO ap-
pear in the ring in New York state.
and the boxing solons indignantly
stamp the rumor as untrue. On ths
contrary. the commissioners an

BRENNAN SHOWS HE
CAN FIGHT But WILL
NEVER BE CHAMPION
Willard Serious About Fight
With Dempsey and Should
Give Better Exhibition.
BY JAMES l.. KELLY
News Times Sports Editor)

Dan O'Dowd showed his real
worth when he stayed the limit in
his bout with Wild Bill Brennan
the other night. O'Dowd as we
have always claimed is a good boy
Tor receiving punishment a wea K
offensive battler and a third rate
heavyweight.
Bill Brennan is a second rater
himself. Another bear for punish
ment, he has time and again gain
ed notice by staying in the ring with
fast battler for a lengthy period.
The time he stayed with Dempsey
showed that he had a certain knack
for which he must DE given credit.
Against an outstanding dub, such as
Fred Fulton, Brennan would un-
dOubtedly look like a coming cham
pion, but a match with a boy with
the combined speed. ability and
clouting power of Tommy Gibbons
he would look poor indeed.
VIII Start Downward.
O'Dowd is at his best right now.
He will never be any better and it is
highly possible that he will be much
worse in a short while Every time
fighter gets a terrific blow on the
ribs or heart, something is bound
TO go; constant tapping viii wear
away stone, and constant rapping on
the body of a pug Will begin to
show no matter how tough or rug
ged that battler may be
Brennan is even slipping a little
bit. He'll never make a champion
but for a while he Will stick up
among the second raters and give
the boys a fast go.
The logic bout at the present mo.
ment is one between Tommy Glib
hons. the only heavyweight eligible
for a bout with Jack Dempsey and
Harry Greb a light heavyweight
who is perhaps the classics of all
the nit artists today.
While Gibbons might deliver that
high explosive to the chin OF the
redoubtable Harry early in the fight
ring fans would soon understand
that the publicity given Tommy Glib
bons was not pure bunk and that
ne was a fighter from start to fin
ish
Willard Is Serious
Willard is anxious for a fight with
Jack Dempsey. He is very serious
and unlike every other battler to
day, he doesn't appear to want the
fight because Of the abundance of
cold cash that such match would
bring TO him.
Willard is rich, real business, in
oil and cattle has made him a null
ti-millionaire. All rumors about his
badly bent bank account seem very
far fetched and he doesn't need a
championship fight to put him in
finance again.
He would have a hard time win
ning the crown from the head Of
Dempsey but he would give a much
better exhibition than the one at
Toledo. The Toledo fight has al
ways been a farce in the minds of
many sport followers. Dempsey
would not find an overconfident
unframed opponent in the ring with
him if he again took on the old but
game Jess Willard
