OWNERS MAY BAN
 LIVELY BASEBALL

Philadelphia, Nov. 1s-omciaIs of the factory in this city that supplies the major league with baseballs, hint that the ball may not be as lively next year.
 The fact that over 1000 homo runs were made in the two major leagues has caused certain agitation against the lively ball. Some of the mag mates feel that the free hitting has has featured the games for the past three years will soon have robbed the home run of much of its thrill, since it's getting so common.
 While 1t Is conceded that the public likes free hitting rather than air tight pitching. the magnates seem to think the hitting end of the game Is being overdone.
 It is said the matter will be freely discussed at the coming major league meeting. and 1t wouldn't be at all sur prfsing if the order went out to slow up the ball. which after all simply means that the yarn will not be so. tightly wound around the cork cen ter.
 It Is the yarn and the way it is placed on the ball that produces the Iveliness of the sphere rather than the cork center

LACK OF CLASS A DEFENSE MARKS
 BATTLE OF CRIMSON AND TIGER

victory and defeat came from. Prince ton this week may have some secret practice with the tackle dummy and Harvard at squeezing the pigskin.
 It was somewhat of surprise to those who have seen other Princeton elevens do well with the run from Kick formation to see this employed so
 The hep shift of the backs, the line shift, the compact grouping of line and backs was smothered by Harvard as if they had thrown a blanket over it and gathered all eleven men up in it..
 What would have been done with a fast threat" man. such as Lourie or Trinble, on the team is som ething else again. and the absence of such a one may explain the absence of the freer and looser formation. The Tigers spread once or twice for a, for ward pass. but excepting then and the spiendidly executed and wholly unex- pected triple pass they used fer their touchdown, their ofense was or 8 monotonous sameness. But that triple pass was evidence they weren't with out resources.
 Harvard's offense was much better as a spectacle. It was more equipped with device-backs running this way and that, twisting. circling, stabbing, cutting in. Yet it did not get near the Princeton goal line - not near enough to be alarming for that the activity and vigilance of the other side must receive it's share of credit. Individually, no Harvard back edded to his reputation. though the fact re- mains that two of the hardest runnin g backs in the East, two of the hardest to stop the Wilson of Penn State and Owen of Harvard. Owen in streaks made it look as if the Princeton tack lers were wearing white kid gloves and didn't care to soil them.
 Hubbard, guard, and Eastman, made a name for themselves by their hard and consistent playing, and the former in particular gave the impress sion that he was not to be turned from his purpose. Hubbard and East man, Harvard forwards, and Baker and Treat. Princeton tackles. wid work which met with wide approval. They hustled and they ddn't slow down. Stout and Dinsmore of the Tiger en- tourage gave an excellent imitation of substitutes playing their respe ctive positions, end and quarterback. as we'll as talented regulars could play them.
 Harvard can play better football than it did Saturday. but isn't infalH- ble against artif1ce or against a plain, everyday straight punch-as shown when Princeton went over on the first down-but there IS still speed ana power behind the line. the line has ~ quick, uniform heave which makes it hard for anybody to get by it. and the football doctors at Cambridge are experienced in diagnosis. If bein g through the mill was what Harvard most needed, she's been.

 Shortly after midnight last night the work~of installing the 1,500 seats and erecting the specially built table was begun. That everything will be in readiness when Referee Albert Cutler calls the men to the table to bank for the opening shot there is no doubt and that a capacity gallery will be present is equally certain. It was an nounced yesterday that nearly all of the seats had been sold, and 1t was expected that the few remaining tick cts would be gobb1ed up early today.

After the HarVard-Princeton game several interesting questions present. ed themselves. One was how far Princeton expected to get with that ward oHense was not good as liar ward, meaning the coaches and play CTS, thought it was Princeton won with it's otfense and more than that one cannot reasonably ask, except in so far as the attack seen in the liar yard game bears on what attack Princeton will have for the Yale game. Bat in itself it was not Class A. cali Der, and neither was Harvard's. There were many times, too many for the offense to be a strong dependence, when the Harvard deception did not "decept."
 The play was rather mild in the early stages, with neither team at it's ease, Princeton less so than Harvard. Yet at the end of the game, looking back the impression struck in that Princeton had won lon the bit" Once they were over their opening Huster-lnduced in part by a parlous muffed punt near their own goal line the Tigers unburdened themselves Of their overkeyed state of mind and played along at hard natural gait without tenseness, as if they could open the throttle wider if they had to.
 The early 'tbreak" of a mishanded ball resulted in Princeton's taking the lead, and if they were inclined to go. at just the clip to keep their lead without showing all they had, they were in a position to do so. They sh owed something when to do so was of the utmost use, and maybe showed all they had. They know better about that any anybody else. Yet as a game of first class, consistent attack it was much deficient on both sides.
 In writing of the prospect. in ad- vanse, MT. Strubing, former Tiger quarterback, said Harvard had not been through the mi11-meaning as hard a battle as Princeton had had and that that would be a handicap. I1 which event improvements may be expected from Harvard-for that matter both are likely to be better next time.
 The moral of the game, according to one posf-bellum comment, was: Follow the ball. Rather was it: Hold on to the ball. Victory and it's an- thesis, defeat, went with fumbles. What might have been without this weakness is. immateria1, at least con- iectura1, but here were fumb1es with their costly penalties and their costly near penalties a condition and not a theory which confronted us.
 You could dispense with all the ab- psychology and "unbalanced line" and the other intricacies numerous fans are trying to digest before they have assimilated rudiments and go back to elementa1s. One of the first rinciples-handling the baN-was violated in this game. and that's where

 RIVALS ALL SET
Fight Bugs Figure Del mont's Punches May Wear Kaplan Down. Both Boys in Shape.
By CHCK CREATON.

Some local 1stic bugs" entertain the opinion that Gene Delmont. the stalwart Memphis CTenn.). scrapper. will be the stumbling block In Kid Kaplan's path to the coveted cham pionship. These two sturdy expon- ents of the Marquis of Queensbury game of fsticuffing are slated ID swamp thumps in the feature bout of 12 rounds at the State Street Casino tomorrow night. The above men tioned fans who are inclined to favor the southerner opine that the Iatter's heavy body smashes will prove too much for the fast Meriden boxer. Gene is reputed to be one of the best body fighters In the game.
 Delmont is not as fast or clever he lacks in speed and cleverness he equalies in aggressiveness and su- perior punching ability. The bout has promise of real action as DeIn1ont and Kaplan are two real fighters.
 Steve Smith will start out in nrs quest for professional honor and glory-and the likewise attendant coin. The erstwhile medal chaser will make his debut in the money class when he tackles George Day of New Haven in the four-round curtain raiser. Smith is one or the best scrappers turned out of the local simon pures." He is a fast, rough boy who packs a. stinging wa1lop In either mitt.
 Jim Bones, the best Of the little feI- lows in the Nutmeg fstic realm, is booked to meet 8 Tartar in Spike Marine, a southpaH fighter of New Haven, in a preliminary setto of eight star Jim will have to uncork his whole box of tricks to defeat the Elm City hoy.
 Young Luby, the West End whirl- wind, will mingle with another New Haven entry in Joe Currie in a pre- scrfbed ten-round semi-f1nal bout. If Currie's record is any kind of an in dfcation the Bridgeporter is in for a mighty rough evening. Cirrie has boxed some of the best leather push CTS in the state, including Sammy Waltz and Al vi1tse.

Jackson Stars And Walnuts
 Battle To Scoreless Tie

In one of the toughest and most bitterly fought football games seen on the Newheld Park gridiron this season, the Jackson Stars of the West Gnd and the Walnut A. c. eleven of r he South End, leading contenders for the junior football championship of lhe city, battled to a scoreless tie yes
 erday afternoon.
 The two teams were apparently 'venly matched in size, but the Jack sons obviously were better trained, they played together more as a team, and had better plays than their op- ponents. JAS result they outpIayed
 he WalnutS during a bigger part of the game The Jacksons were in the Walnut territory more than the South End rivals were in Jackson area, and consequently the West Enders came closer to scoring than did their op- 3onents. The Jacksons uncorked a ~rilliant attack at several stages of the game, but always lacked sufficient drive to cross the Walnuts' goal line.
 The first half of the game was a nip and tuck fight with the Jacksons clearly having the advantage. Thrice during the first haf-twice in the irst period and once in the second the Stars drove down the field to within 15 yards of the Walnuts' goal. But in each instance their attempts to score were frustrated. Twice hey tried to score via the aerial route and each time the forward pass was intercepted. On the other occasion the Jacksons relinquished the plgskln on downs.
 After an exchange of punts in the third stanza the ball was in posses sion of the Jackson Stars on the Wal nuts 35 yard chalk mark. Here the Stars executed a beautiful forward pas, Quarterback Pastor to Polo, the latter running 25 yards to the goal inc But the oval was called back as d Jackson player was ofslde oI- the play.
