NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. g.
With the thermometer off 20 de-
grees, the Yale varsity this after
noon had a hard scrimmage with
the scrubs and though they man
aged to make two touchdowns, for
a good part of the time it was at
least an even break and for a
while the scrubs outplayed the big
team. At the start of the scrim-
mage the varsity used line plays
principally and the scrubs line
showed unusual strength on de-
fence. Then Beckett took a for
ward pass on the 20 yard line and
made a touchdown.
The varsity. started a rushing at
tack after a scrub tumble in mid
field and pushed the ball to three
yards from the scrub goal line.

ROBES OBJECTIVE
G.. u. Coach Bends Efforts to
End Season With Pair
Of Victories.

Thus far the football season at
Catholic University has not been a
bowling success, but the Brooklan-
ders are making plans to close in a
manner that will at least ease their
wounded feelings.
Their chief objective now Is to
win the two home games with Mary
land and George Washington. If
these rivals of long standing can be
humbled, Coach Robb's men will
have something to cheer them dur
ing the winter months.
Robb gathered his men around
him yesterday and informed them
that he was expecting the season to
end with a couple of victories. He
is now bending his efforts to that
end and the team of Messrs. Curly
Byrd and Bill Quigley may as we'll
prepare fog some lively competition.
Catholics lineup in its last two
big games is a matter Of conjec-
ture. but one player who Is sure to
be heard from, provided he Is not
Injured beforehand, is Eddie Lynch,
premier lineman and punter Of the

PRINCETON WORKS
ON SLOPPY FIELD

PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. bad
weather interfered with the prac-
tice of the Princeton football team
again today, and as a consequence
of the wetness of the field no scrim-
mage was included in the schedule
of the afternoons activities.
The first part of the session was
devoted to a passing drill in which
the varsity backs and ends first
tried some of their own passes. and
then lined up in defense of Har-
ward passes which were being
worked by the scrubs. While the
ends and backs were thus engaged,
the linesmen were working a buck
ing game, and doing some line
charging themselves.
Later the varsity lined up against
the scrubs and walked through some
plays, while Roper and the rest of
the coaching staff corrected mis-
takes and gave advice to the var
sity. The defensive against Har-
ward plays used by the scrubs was
for a while. too, and I'M
less the Crimson has something new
to offer on Saturday the Tigers will
have quite a line on their offense,
and will give them considerable
opposition that they are not ex-
pecting.

when he finished fighting Happy
Littleton, at New Orleans Monday
evening. Sir Michael decorated him
self with the middleweight title. OF
course, Johnny Wilson wasn't con-
suited about this trifiing matter. We
believe, however, that when he hears
the fatal news he will sink into a
rapid decline and pass away.
With Michael proclaiming himself
the champion, 1t just means that
three battlcrs are addressing thcm-
selves as middleweight title holders.
The irony of it all is that in this
discredited division there should he
such an uproar. Wilson naturally
refuses to part with his diadem:
Downey swears he won IL in Cleve-
land; Mike slipped himself the
crown the other night. So the fistic
world can pay its money and take
its choice. Nothing could be fairer
in this sweet world. Wait lust a
moment"
Battling" Keefe is still with u.s.
AS the inhabitants of this mundane
sphere know the real champion of
Champions is Battling" Keefe. He
has been rather reticent lately. for
RI CT with
him. In his long and brilliant ca
reer the "Battler" has swept every
opponent before him. 1t made no
difference whether 1t was a bantam
or heavy; re had to succumb to the
prowess of Battling" Keefe.
So you can see he will not stay
silent II any miscreant dareSto cop
one of the cherished titles. Not
Battling Keefe. So the middleweight
class is just so much more muddled.
AS for Gibbons's claim. you can't
get away from the fact that he was
the best middleweight we have had
around here since Stanley Ketchell.
He was SO good that in most of his
fights he was under wraps, other
wise he couldn't have gathered in
any pelf
Mike has reached the sere and yell
low of the ring, and is not like the
Michael of old. The old wallop Is
absent, and he stops more blows
with his body than in former days.
In his scrap with Littleton the lat
ter made Mike execute a flop to the
canvas for the count Of four. Never
could this have happened in years
gone by.
The result Of the fight. according
to the reports. found Littleton in
bad shape and thoroughly trounced.

II Wilson will only give Gibbons
chance at the crown everybody
will be happy. While at first glance
1t would appear as il Michael would
gallop home, one dare not overlook
the terrific body blows of Wilson.
He is probably the sturdiest hitter
of midsections in the country. Let's
hope something turns up in this
class to rescue from the ash heap.
