ROPER SEES NO NEED
 OF EASTERN CONFERENCE

Philadelphia, Nov. 23-An Eastern football conference, similar to that in existence in the west, would be use- less, in view of the high calibre of the gridiron sport in this section of the country, according to an interview with William H. Roper, cc oh of the undefeated Princeton eleven and Phil adelphia City Councilman, published here yesterday morning. Roper express sed himself in this manner when ask ed for his opinion of the non -col- legiate movement to organize con ference, in which eight of the leading universities and colleges of the East would be members. @
 Today the game is cleaner and more popular than it ever was" said MT. Roper, "and there is no danger of the abuses which years ago caused scandals and engendered bad feelings among the large universities. There is absolutely no professionalism and there is a widespread trustworthiness on athletic questions.
 The one thing that shows the pop ularity of college athletics among out siders is the unparalleled demand for tickets for all the big games this year Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Penn sylvania have all had record crowds and this public Interest is due to the fact that people know collegiate foot ball is on the level
 We do not need any constitutional amendments to the code of sportsman ship" =

ment. However, on the Harvard end of the debate is the interesting fact that not since 1903 has a Yale eleven which had been defeated by the Tigers come back against the Crimson. Only four times since Harvard Yale rela- tions on the gridiron were started back in 1875, has the Bulldog accomplish ed the feat which it will atempt to put into the records this week.
 ii to 6 and IS to o
 In 1903 Princeton outdid the Ellis at New Haven by Il to 6, but Yale made a strong comeback the following week and defeated Harvard by Is to 0. That season there was no Harvard-Prince- ton contest for the Tigers and the Crimson broke off relations after the 1896 battle and they were not resum- ed until 1911. In 1893 Princeton de- feated Yale in New York by to 0, but the Blue had scored by similar margin over the Crimson.
 In 1889 the Tigers won from the Bulldog by 10 to 0, but the Ellis had made a 6 to 0 holiday at Harvards s expense. In 1878 Nassau defeated Yale at Hoboken by 1 goal to 0-that af- ter Yale had beaten Harvard by a sim liar score. In the old days the Prince ton game came at the climax of the Yale season, fight after the Harvard tussle.
 It is worthy of note also that since 1907 Yale has scored only one touch down against Harvard, and in -12 games has beaten the Crimson only twice-by 6 to in 1916 and to in 1909. That lone touchdown in a dozen battles was carried over by Cupid Blacks team in 1916. In 1909 the Ellis got their points through a couple of field goals from 30 yards by the great Ted Coy. In 1907 the Yale eleven, which had squeezed through with 12 to 10 triumph over Prince ton, followed with 12 to victory over Harvard.
 These are all interesting facts of history, but they will decide nothing in the, Bowl on Saturday. The truth that Yale has made only one tril across the 1Crimson's goal line since 1907 is not likely to prove a psycho- it spur Yale on to do or die. That game on Saturday means more to Yale than just victory or defeat for the day It has a most important bearing on the Eli football policy for the future.
 Yale will be lot more dangerous against Harvard than 1t was against Princeton. Likewise may be 1t pre- dicted that Harvard will be a great deal more dangerous against the Blut than 1t was against the Tigers It loo,i like one of the. old time rip, snorting hammer and tongs scraps on Satur day, in spite of the fact that both havt been defeated by Princeton. /

New London Team to Play Here
 Sunday

The East Ends who claim to be one
 of the fastest football teams in east ern Connecticut will be the attraction
 at the Mohegan Park grounds Sunday
 when they line up against the AH-Nor- wich team. Manager Sylvia of New LGa- don will bring to this city the fastest
 team that has yet appeared in Norwich, consisting of High school graduates from both Buckley and Vocational schools and the remainder of the team will be the pick of that we'll known team "Colonials" who have been walking over everything so far this season. Manager Weisner of the All-Norwich team says that his team will be no slouch and the New London boys will have to fight for every foot they gain. S
 The local team will consist of the fast est and most experienced men that can be found throughout the city and vi- cinity. Peel, Morton, Dopel and Coach Mathews from the Sub Base, Simpson and Taylor formerly with the Providence Independents will, be present and with the help of such men as the Fielding Bros, Captain Zeigmeyer, Marks, J. Car berry. Zimmerman and others of their calibre should bring our bacon home as well as giving the whale city boys a hard run for their money. If the weather man allows fair weather for Sunday the fans will be treated to the biggest foot ball fight seen in Norwich for many a moon. Manager Weisner has gone through quite an expense to get a good team to come to Norwich to play as well as having a good team to represent our city and hopes the fans will tur:l out strong to support them. Game vii be called at S2:SO p. m, gss.Ei.-

ONLY BIG BOUTS AT
 YANK'S, FIELD SAY RICHARD

New York, Nov. 23-On1y important ring matches will be conducted in the Yankees new baseball park next Summer if the plant is made avail able for professional boxing during the outdoor season. This was the de- cision of the American League club owners it was announced yesterday by the Madison Square Garden pro moter, Tex Rickard, who has practt- cally closed arrangements for con- ducting whatever bouts are permitted at the ball park. Rickard reiterated that he had signed no lease Of the park during his conference with Col onel Jacob Rupert, part owner and Ed Barrow, business manager of the Yan- kees last Tuesday afternoon. At the same time, however, the promoter said that the Yankee officials had assured him the park was at his disposal for boxing if he arranged any important matches.
 The proposed worlds heavyweight championship match between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills is, of course, a probable fistic attraction. for the Yankee stadium next Summer, Rickard said This match looms as the most important available on the pugi- listic markets at this time. But there is an element of uncertainty ever pres ent in such important ring matches and particularly in the case of bat tie in which a white heavyweight champion meets negro heavyweight which con1pels caution in proceeding with arrangements for such a match.
 Rickard repeated that the Dempsey Wills match is now no nearer being signed than it was last Summer, and he> added that even if he had the match he has no absolute guarantee that he could hold it in this city, or within the jurisdiction of the State without interference. These important details, the promoter said, must re- ceive consideration first. The loca- tion of site for the battle is the easi-
 est of his problems.
 The new Yankee baseball field will l not be indiscriminately thrown open
 as boxing center next Summer said Rickard. ''The club owners have informed me that the park is available
 only for important matches-champi- ! onship bouts or contests of interna- l tional significance. There wiz be nc attempt to conduct ordinary bouts
 there The park is too big. A Demp-
 sey-Wills match, or bouts of cores
 bonding importance, in other ring di- visions, would be suitable attractions | Such matches, with the seating ca pacity of 100000, which will be pos
 sible for boxing, could be promoted
 so as to fit the pocketbook of the
 average fight fan and thus give ev.
 erybody a chance to witness them"

CRESCENT FIVE WINS FIRST GAME
 OF SEASON FROM WESTERLY 8 TO IS

The Crescent A. c. basketball team in their opening game of the season at Westerly on Thursday evening played the S49th Company five off their feet and won easily by the score of 39 to 16. At no time during the game were the local boys in danger and their playing was snappy and of mid season form. The soldiers were bewildered by the slashing attack of the visitors and could do little to stop the passwork of the Crescents.
 Denny Murphy at left guard played a brilliant game and his work with Jack Murphy at right guard had the Westerly forwards completely smoth- cred and it was only when these two lads slowed up that the soldiers could do anything.
