KING MAY PLAY.
Veteran Tackle Rcjoins Navy Lineup
 After Long Layon.

Annapolis, Md, Nov, 11.-The final srimmmage in preparation for the game at Philadelphia on Saturday against Penn State was held at the Naval Academy yesterday afternoon, while nearly every member of the regiment and a large number of the officers of the academy were in the stands and along the side lines giving the team all possible enCour- agement, While much time was giN- en to signal and formation work, the actual period against the second team was short.
 The big feature of the practice was that Clyde King, the veteran right tackle, who has been out of the game since the Bethany con- test, took part in the sc"immagc. and if is believed that this indicates that he will start against Penn State. King showed no sign of any sort of weakness, and stated that he felt fine. He will be opposed by Irony" Nc Mahon, Penn States gigantic line man and heavyweight wrestler. Though King will be outweighcd by thirty-tivc pounds or more, Navy people have no fear as to the out come of the meeting.

JOHNNY BUFF RETAINS HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE
Jack Sharl>cy Fails in Attempt to Nrcst Crown From Jersey
 City Batter.

New York, Nov. 11.-JOhnny Buff, Jersey City's veteran little ring man, is still the worlds bantamweight champion. He defended his title against Jack Sharkey, sturdy west side Italian, last night before q crowd of about 10000 people at Madison Square Garden. After fifteen sizzling rounds the decision was awarded to Buff and the crewd cheered the yer dict to q man. Sharkey was soundly thrashed by the little Jcrsoyite, who holds both the American flyweight title and the worlds bantamweight | championship.
 Buff easily earned the decision. He outpointed Sharkey eleven rounds to three, forcing a steady pace from the outset. Buff had the better of his rival in the first six rounds and in the tenth, twelfth, thirteenth, four teenth and fifteenth sessions. Sharkey, with a spectacular recovery, earned the seventh, eighth and ninth. The eleventh was about even.
 The contest was interesting and sat isfcd the crowd, in spots it was in tensely exciting. Withal however it lacked much of the spectacular which is generally witnessed in battles be- tween ring midgets This, however. was through no fault of Buff's. The champion fought a heady, methodical battle from start to finish. He was on the attack throughout and never once relcnted in his assault, even in the face of spasmodic rallies in which Sharlley lashed out furiously with both hands. It was this steady offensive which brought Buff the de cision, for he gradually wore Sharlley down until at the finish the Italian
 was a weary battler indeed.
