PHIL BLOOM WINNER
Brooklyn Battler Has Things His Own
Way Throughout IL Round Go
With Bud Weafcr.

Bud Weafer's ability to assimilate
punishment alone saved him from a
X. O. last night in the Church street
auditorium, Hartford, after he had
made a decidedly unsatisfactory
showing against Phil Bloom of
Brooklyn, N. Y. The entire y rounds
were Blooms. In the seventh, Wea-
fer was caught squarely on the jaw
with a stiff left and nearly went out,
Bloom rained blow after blow upon
the Ansonian, but the bell saved him
from a knockout.
The semi-tinal was a speedy eight
round go between 10 Currie of New
Haven, and Joe Russo of Springfield.
Russo was the heavier by six
pounds. 1t was Currie's bout by u
wide margin, he having outboxed and
outhit the Bay Slater in almost ev-
cry round.
In the preliminary joey Kitson of
kensington and George Lynch of
Meriden furnished a slam bang exhi-
bition that went big with the house.
Referee Billie Connolly declared the
go draw. Lynch outb6xed Kitson,
but the numerous heavy socks land
ed by joey evened up matters. In the
third round, the Kensington boy
knocked his Silver City opponent
clear across the ring and half way
through the ropes with one healthy
wallop to the jaw.

HARVARD HAS
WINNING. HOPES
Fisher Spends Much Time at
TackIinS Practice

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. l6.-WitA
the Yale game only four days away
there was no letup in HarVard's foot
| ball drill yesterday afternoon The
day was fine and the stadium field
was in such shape that 1t could be
used by the varsity eleven. Before
going to the field, however, the
| coaches took the entire squad to the
tackling dummies and here the ses-
sion was strenuous. HarVard's tack
ling has been far from satisfactory all
fall in spite of the fact that there has
been more tipe spent on this funda-
mental than for years, In the games
the team simply has not got the
hang of holding to the runner with
the ball.
Before the scrimmage with the
scrubs all players are coached on fine
points of position play, particularly
those laid out for Saturdays game,
and then came a lot of signal work.
The scrimmage with the scrubs was
of the usual dummy variety, but the
drilling was very thorough.
The Crimson's attack is being made
smooth and much time is being spent
ward hopes to make up in speed and
skill and knowledge of Yale's weak
spots, what it will lack in stamina.
The confidence that Ted Jones's team
will be beaten runs very high here,
but very little money is in sight.
Yesterday the eleven worked with
Hartley at right end, Ladd at right
tackle and Churchill at right half
back. Otherwise the layout was the
same as that which started the
Princeton game ten days ago. Crock
err, who doubtless will be in his old
position when the time comes, did
some work in the signal drill but
kept out of the smrimmage. Tierney
did not work on the line, combining
himself to running about the side
lines. Fits was in the backtield
combination with Owen and Chaplin,
and also with Coburn, but the Har-
ward kicker was not put where he
had a chance of being hurt. In fact,
it is stated that Fits did not run
through the fast signal drill to the
finish, and when the coaches were
driving everyone in their effort to
make things go at top speed.
jenkins was on the field again and
so was Gehrke. The latter had a new
head protection and will be available
for substitute work on Saturday.
