Ry CHICK CREATION.

Incapacitated by the ineligibility of a big portion of its first string men. the Bridgeport High school hill and and dale squad did not fare so well The Red and Black harriers did not enter one meet with more than two first string men eligible to compete. ..

In cross-country the team SCOT ing the lowest number of points wins. The points are tal1ied according to the finishing place of the runner: l. e. a man finishing first place counts one point; second place, two points; third tain Matty Skane won first place quite handily, breasting the tape 50 yards ahead of Cleveland, the first Bristol man. Skane was the only B. H. S. runner of the first string.

GRIDIRON VICTIMS
 TOTAL TEN FOR '21

Chicago, Nov. 26.-(By The A. P.) Football claimed ten victims during the 1921 season. which closed with Thanksgiving games according to re ports to The Associat ed Press today.
 Tho death list was less than 1920, and three above the toll of two years ago. Ten lives were lost as a. result of games in 1918. 12 in 1917. IS in 1916, and l 5 in 1915.
 As in former years, the majority of youth killed were members of high school teams. The figures apparently uphold the contention of football ex- perts that proper training and phys ical condition greatly nlanimize the danger of the game, for only one of the players killed was a member of a college eleven. One was a semi-pro player, one a member of a. naval team and the remainder were high school or sand lot players who did not re- ceive the intensified training and physical inspections given in colleges. With one exception, none of the victims were more than 20 years old.

DE FOE BATTLES
 CHANEY TO DRAW
By GEORGE B. FIRsTBRooK

Bridgeport fight fans who journey ed to the Garden last night witness ed one of the greatest bills of fight ing Tex Rickard ever presented. Joe Lynch and Midget Smith fought like gamecockS to ten-rOund draw, Billy DeFoe and Andy Clancy also figured gave Bert Colima a trimming, while the curtain raiser between Al Nelson and Jimmy Darcey was stopped in the fourth round.
 DeFoe-Chaney Bout
 There was plenty of action in the DeFoe-Chaney go Chaney, who seal ed 126 3-4 pounds to De Foes 12S, scored the only really damaging blow the first round. The St. Paul man scorned to take a count toward the end and DeFoe popped in a wicked left to the stomach.
 There was 8 great deal of fghting at close quarters through the second, Chaney's blows being the most effec- tive, though DeFoe used a straight left jab to good effect. They ex- close quarters in the third, and for a couple of minutes Chaney outpunched his older rival, but DeFoe suddenly switched tactics, and in the last min uate planted six hard left hooks to Chaney's jaw and wicked left to the stomach
 Through the fourth and fifth there was much pretty boxing, with honors tanner. The men were in close most of the time and did too much tug ging and mauling. Chaney got in some damaging body blows in the sew enth, particularly in a right hook to the kidney at close quarters that left a square foot of red patch. Clancy gave DeFoe quite a pasting in the eighth, keeping in close all the time and had the s. Paul boy hanging on
 The ninth round was all DeFoe and the St. Paul veteran landed many good right swings and left hooks. A right parked Chaney's nose, which bled profusely, while another rocked Andy back on his heels. The closing round was fast and furious, with hOuOrS even

P. B0GASH-DARCEY
 BOUT ON CARPET

Patsy Bogash vs. Sailor Johnny Darcey. This is the main fixin's for the proposed boxing show to be given in the Casino by Doc Owens. who was a near champer in the light weight division a few years ago.
 Despite the ''slow dofngs' fin the local boxing world Doc" entertains the opinion that he can prepare a card that will be a winner with the public as well as a moneymaker. There are some promoters who are in the sport for nix. but Doc" de- clares he is in 1t to make money.
 Joe Smith, manager of BoGash, has signified his willingness to match his boxer with Delaney for the pro- posed show, and Owens is now in ne- gotiations with Darcey's manager.
 The pair would no doubt prove an attraction to local ring fans and the general hope Is that Doc" Owens decides to stage the show.

Park City Amateur Boxers
 X1a NelU HnUen COnapetitiO1,

Bridgeport amateur boxers are go- ing to invade New Haven next Tues ing amateur boxing tournament held under the A. A. U. by the Kenney Athletic Association of New Haven.
 The Park City will be represented by some capable mitt-tossers, most of whom have displayed sheir fistic wares at the recent shows at the State Street Casino here. Captain Max Baum of the Fairfield County Am whose auspices the local shows were seged, will accompany the local medal-hunters to the City of Films, and the captain entertains the idea that the Bridgeport simon-pures will ouSclass the New Haveners.
 Following are among the Bridge port boys who will participate in the night. Several more entries are on the way according to Captain Baum, and urges all those who have inten- tions of competing to hustle up and have their entries In as early as pos sible:
 Frank Borey, stratford A. C., 1os pound class; Paul Revnack, Sratford A. C., 1os pound class; Emil Des- champs, unattached. 11s pound class; Frank Lee, unattached, 12S pound class: Carmel Cook. Columbia A. C., 11S pound class; William Glynn, King Gaffney, King Pin A. C., 11s pound Bridgeport's next amateur show will be held on the night of Decem- Der 12 in the State Street Casino. AL though the two shows staged here re- gently proved a huge success fisti- cally, things did not come up to ex- pectations from a financial stand point. It is the concensus of opinion among those who witnessed either of these shows, or both of them, that the anlatur game here will flourish and given the right support by the public, if these opening shows can be taken as q criterion. Both of these shows were put at a loss according to Captain Baum, but MT. Baum is con- fiden1 that the amateur-loving fans will turn out in larger numbers at the next card. The captain also urges those who witnessed the corking shows to tell their friends about the fine entertainment so that more peo- pie will attend the next bouts, and give the amateurs some encourage ment

Everybody In this country, apparently, has some and while the service elevens do not always play the best football in a sea- son, their yearly battle holds the spotlight more consist tent1y than any other game.
 Navy Eleven Strong.
 Navys eleven was looked upon as the likely winner in advance of the game today. The Middies have play ed stiff schedule and can rightfu1- iy boast of one of the best teams An- napolts has turned out in years. Through its defeat of Princeton and great Penn State team at Philadel- phia recently, Navy lured the odds to its side.
 Army, though beaten by Yale and Notre Dame. also boasts of a team of parts. But Army, on paper, does not quite compare with the Middies. The records of the rival service teams this season follow:
