Would Draw 90, 900.
BY DAVIS !. WALSH.

NEW YORK. Oct. 34.-There 10
possibility. rather vague Just at
present. that Centre College will
come North to New York for it's big
football game In 1923. Quite .
stable bit Of money is to be made
from doing business with the
Coionels. as Harvard viii attest, and
since the Crimson Is bound by agree
ment to drop intersectional games,
Manhattan feels that 1t is the logical
iegatee.
II Centre could draw more than
$4,000 at the stadium, II would most
certainly fill the new field Of the
New York Yankees to it's $4,000
capacity and a rich golden harvest
Tor all concerned would be the
gratifying result.
Some OF It's alumni would like to
nave Columbia University figure as
the party Of the second part in this
transaction and the Morningside
OUTFIT. having O local appeal, would
not be bad box office bet, provided
II can muster something better than
second-class football next fall.
But quite Independent Of this line

mere In 1923 to play the leading
Eastern team Of the present season.
Preliminary plans were held in
abeyance. however, until 1t was
determined how we'll the Colonies
would 60 against Harvard. Had they
been beaten by four or five touch
downs, as Harvard would be pleased
: to have had II. Centre College prob
ably would have remained in the
South until such time as 1t could
summon another Mcmillan to carry
the banner.
Thanks to the fact that they out.
played Harvard. gaining sixteen first
downs to the Crimson's seven, and
were even more colorful than before,
Centre is greater attraction than
ever. New York, which patronizes
anything from street fights to sword
swallowing, would riot at the gates
to get it's first view of the Kentucky
team under colors.
Seemingly. Centre College has be-

spring and in his place Charley
Moran uncovered Flash" Covington,
who turned out to be the best ball
runner of the field regardless Of the
fact that his fumbles helped to- lose
the Harvard game.
Reds Roberts will not be among
those present next season and 1t is
not reasonable to expect that Moran
can produce another just like him.
But unless the Colonels suffer .
