LEDGER CLASSIFIED AIS rAY.
New Britain herald., 1921-10-31

ing its first game in the last twenty, five, the Big Three took a day off and feasted on not formidable opponents. Princeton used Virginia as means for strengthening the front-1ine fortifica- tions in preparation for the Harvard barrage next Saturday. Yale rolled up f5-7 score against Brown, which seems to be travelling rocky road this year. The Ellis started O'Hearn at quarterback for the first time this year and there was great interest in the real advent of this sensational grad uate of last years freshman eleven. He will start against Harvard and Princeton and with Aldrich and Jor- dan forms the backbone of the yer settle attack that Tad Jones has at hi. command thi1 autumn.
 Princeton wisely kept the fragile Lourie on the sidelines. preserving him for the approaching Harvard tussle, but .Garrity was in the lineup and act ed as quarterback, while his mater puncture6 Virginia fo; four touch- downs and a pair of goals from the field. The Tiger very obviously is on tn, mend.

ATLANTA GAMBLING INJURIES FOOTBALL
Graduate Manager of Rutgers So
 Charges in Letter

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 31.-The charge that professional gamblers of Atlanta are casting a shadow over football in Athnta and that if it is not stopped It may prove injurious, is made in a letter sent to Atlanta by William P. Garrison, graduate manager of the Rutgers football team which was de- feated by Georgia Tech on Grant Field. here on Oct. 22 by a score of AS to If. Speaking on this phase of the football situation in Atlanta, he writes:
 Last year when we were invited
 y Tech to play we were aware of
 he break with Center and Pittsburgh
 nd the attending publicity it attracted
 In addition we heard ugly rumors con-
 cerning other conditions in. Atlanta.
 Which made US pause and think the
 Htuation over. The game was sched-
 Hed on the advice of some of 5ur
 tumn1, who assured us from personal
 oserVatlon that Tech was a desira bic
 pp0nent- The game was therefore
 cheduled and prepared for to the best
 If our ability
 our squad had not been in Atlanta
 in hour last Friday before a number
 If people interested in gambling on he result of the game sought our caches, managers and players. for pinions and informa ton. This WAS brand new experience for us. Ugly umors having to do with gambling ctivities soon began to go the rounds. nd l confess that the atmosphere was foreign to anything we had ever ncountered that it shocked us. Tt seemed to us deplorable that At anta should put her first foot fore nost in this fashion. People interested | n the gambling made their presence 1 ,elt up to game time, and even in the randstand where I sat it appeared to ne that every touchdown, every | 1e1ialty, every move of a player meant | omething to somebody's pocketbook, l 10 be accompanied by the cheers Of | he winners and the curses of the osers as the case might be.
 T know this situation exists in any sport crowd but seldom to this extent. | The press in Atlanta is naturally inter ested in supporting and upholding the 1 far name of the city. The greatest ] favor newspapers can do Atlanta and Tech is to use your powerful sporting page to combat the gambling tendency
 on the part of certain elements in your population.
 ! Another thing for Tech they might l do is to temper the comments concern | ing visiting teams, with mercy and ac-- curacy The gambling element every l where is threatening professional as we'll as amateur Sports. Unless the sit
 uation is taken in hand, we will one | day find intercollegiate football being l played before alumni and students only, if at all.

REGULARS IN LINEUP
Hank Garrity and Don Lourie Win Be in Condition to Play Against Harvard Next Saturday

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 31.-Unlass some unforeseen accident occurs Princeton will be able to present her entire drst-string lineup against Harvard Saturday, when the Orange and Black meets the Crimson here in the first of the Big Three classics of the year. Dick Newby, who dislocat- ed his elbow ten days ago, is the only regular now on the sick list, and with Lourie and Garrity back in the fold, even he would probably have been kept out as a sub. Lin Gordon, still in the infirmary with a broken leg, might possibly have got in the game, but thiA is unlikely.
 All the men emerged from the Vir- ginia game in perfect condition, due in some measure to the fact that Keene Fitzpatrick used many substi- tutes as the contest progressed. Hank Garrity playing for the first time since the opening game with Swarthmore, with the exception of a few minutes in the Chicago battle, was yanked out at the beginning of the second period and thereafter the reserves streamed in.
 Don Lourie, regular quarterback was slated to play until the last moment, when Coach Bill Roper de- cided to make sure of his presence against Harvard and kept him out ot the fray. He Is in good shape. however and the measure was merely precau- tionary. The Tiger star is due for some scrimmaging this week, for he has not had any actual work since the Col gate game on Oct. 8.

JOY AT ITHACA
Followers of Cornel's Big Red Eleven Enthuse Over Crushing Defeat Handed Dartmouth on Saturday.

Ithaca, N. Y, Oct 31.-Bruised weary but happy, Cornelrs football warriors, who on Saturday demon strated that there was nothing fuky about their recent tremendous scores and that the Red team is a high powered football machine and not another flivver, today turned their thoughts to New York and Philadel- phia The squad leaves here Thursday night to battle with Columbia Satur. day. and while comparative scores would suggest a comfortable Cornell victory. CornelPs policy and prepara- ton will not be predicated on any such idea.
 On the contrary, Coach Dobie, who gave generous praise to the fine work of the team against Dartmouth, con ceding that they had surpassed ex- pectations, pointed out that the inevi- table let down after such a tremen isdous effort as Cornell made Saturday plus the physical weariness that fol- lows a strenuous encounter, will make it difficult to br ng the team up te top form for Columbia.
 ''It was a hard game" said Coact Dobie, "and the boys are natural. sore and tired, but we were fortunate in not having suffered any serious in juries.'
 Munns, right end, and George Lech- Ter, fullback, were the only tow mer compelleI to leav aondciwarofit gafe compelled to leave the game because of injuries.

HARD WORK AHEAD
 FOR YALE GRIDDERS
Coach Jones Will Have Practice De- voted to Drop Kicking and For
 ward Pass Defense,

New Haven, Oct. 31.-An examina- tion of the Yale football players yes terday found them in excellent. gen eral condition and the coaches have ordered the most strenuous scrilnmage practice week ot the season. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the work will be severe because th, following: week will be largely given to resting for the Princeton game.
 Practically no injuries were sus- tained in Saturdays game with Brown Ted Blair cut a finger and Beckett re- ceived bruises which aggravated his former condition. Thia may cos. him the chance to start the Princeton and Harvard games aa field general, for the ceachea now plan to use Charley O'Hearn regularly at quarterback. With Becket and Russell Murphy in reserve, Yale is better equipped in the quarterback department than in years.
 Some uncertainty exists about the guard positions, although Phil Cruik- shank and Babe Guernsey probably will be the final selections. Quaile and Cross, who were regulars until they were injured, are rapidly rounding in to form. Cross played one period Sat urday and Quaile will resume scrim- maging this week. Both will get into part of tho Princeton game.
 Yales practice this week will be de- voted largely to improvement in drop kicking and in a defense for tha for ward pass. Although Aldrich booted a 47-yard field goal Saturday, shi' 0rk is inconsistent, while Browns ex- p1oit in gaining nearly 15o yards on Yale and in scoring once has aWak- ened the coachea to the need for 2 stronger defense.

All Crimson Regulars Out With Team Today = Told To Forget Saturdays Defeat

Cambridge, Mass, 31-With the re- gulars in harness today, Harvard start ed the last lap of it's preparation for Princeton. This is the game for which the eleven has bosn heading, and, al though things have not gone at all smoothly, the coaches have made every effort to get about as much football in stilled in the team for the Tigers as or dinarily they would for Yale.
 Captain Kane is all right again and starting today, Tierney, Crocker and Grew will be in the Rushline, and Fitts. Owen, Pfaffman and Jenkins will be available for backfeld play Rouilliard hurt his leg severely in the Centre game, and probably will not be in shape to play at Nassau, but Gehrke, while he received a severe blow on the head, is expected to be all right in a day or two. Chapin, Ladd and Coburn may need few days rest from substitute duty.
 Whether Tierney will be put back at center rush this week and Kunhardt picked for right tackle will be one of the big matters for the coaches to de- eide in the next few days. The first eleven, so few members of which played against Centre, has been told to flor get' Saturdays defeat.
