YALE PREPARING FOR
 THE INVADING ARMY

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. zS-The eleven emerged from the Williams game minus casualties, except rath- CT severe leg bruise which halfback Knapp received along the third quar- ter.
 The Army invades New Haven next Saturday, with the entire cadet body as its supporters. The game is sure to be colorful one, as the cadets will march in parade in the bowl prior to the kickoff.
 The Ellis expect the hardest game of the season, except the Harvard classic this Saturday. Last years ex- perience convinced Jones and his pu- pills that the. West Pointers could play football, clean, sound and, above all hard football.
 The Army is minus French, the star of last years team, but there is no doubt that Yale will have a back this year who can equal French's ability in aerial war. The Ellis have been very weak on the defense of the aerial game, and 8 large part of the time prior to the game this Saturday will probably be spent in tightening up the defense of the overhead play
 The Army line is strong, and every man in the forward line has had years of experience. Captain Graves place at center will be ably. taken care of by Garbisch, a former Washington and Jefferson captain
 Yale still has a long, hard season to maneuver through Iowa was the first obstacle and the Army is the sec ond barrier. Yale will have to display far more varied and finished of fensive than she has shown SC far this season to gain through the West Point line. This is not only quite pos sible, but very probable, with O'Hearn's return and Captain Jor- dan's complete recovery, both of which may be expected by Saturday.
 O'Hearn, Jordan, Mallory, Neale, Neidlinger and Wight are the backs expected to give the Army forwards an afternoons work. The Eli line is still in a state of development and the tackles and the pivot position seem to be causing the most trou- ble. The wing men who will proba- ply start Saturday should be picked from Eddy, Hulman and Blair. Miller, Diller, Green and Joss are possibilities for tackles. Landis and Lovejoy are at the top among the centers.
 If O'Hearn is still lame, NeidIinger and Adams will probably divide the honors at quarter. The rest of the backfield has been already mentioned, although Knapp may be in shape to be used. In any event, Yale will send the best team yet assembled this sea son against DaleyS men this Satur- day.

CENTRES IOCK-STEP SHIFT" IS
 THE CAUSE OF MUCH DISCUSSION

New York, Oct. 2s-Football experts ot tbs east were still studying today the puzzling lock step shift" employ ed by the doughty eleven from Cen ire College, Danville Ky- which lost to Harvard at Cambridge Saturday, 4 to 10. Should 1t be taken up and em- nloved widely, critics are wondering now the rules would be affected by such shifts.
 As used by the southerners Satur- dav if was in conformity with estab- iished regulations, including the newly clarified rule on shift plays which has been made sufficiently clear by the rules committee of the intercolie- riate football association to be univer- sally interpreted to prevent ali put one man on an attacking team peins In motion before the ball is passed.
 Those who saw Harvard Centre game Saturday know that the lock step shift" is effective, even if they aren't quite clear why 1t should be more demoralizing to team on the defense than the more common shirt plays are.
 prise. not only to the spectators but 10 the Harvard team, which required A number of plays to accustom itself to the strange sight of whole team marching, hand on shoulder and in the approved Sing Sing style. and then trooping back before the ball was snapped.
 The one objection raised to date against the lock step shift" seems to be the time it requires, particularly when the quarterback adds an extra figure to his signals and the whole teams fronts" and right abouts with the precision of a troop of circus zou- vaes. Now that the play has been shown it will probably be less effec- tive when used again and consequent lv like other innovations may be lost.
 But if the idea should find popular favor will be widely used by number of teams it seems probable, according to reports, that the rules committee will be asked to take cognizance of it and, perhaps, be asked to place a time limit on the completion of such shifts. As the rules now stand, Gen. Ire could have marched back and forth until the whistle. blew-though it would have been poor policy for los- ing team.
 The east has become fond of Gen. l-e, its slashinR taAms and it's rebel yell, aHd if an observer were Judging from what nS saw and heard in the stadium Saturday, he would believe that half of Dixieland had turned out 10 see it's team in action. And though Harvard, Yale and Princeton have mutually agreed to discontinue inter- sectional contests it seems probable hat Centre will be asked to come east again.
 Reports today were that Cornell, Columbia. Dartmouth, Brown and sev- eral other colleges were anxious to meet the Praying Colonels next year sither in New York or Boston, proba- ply New York to dedicate the fooball he new Yankee stadium which will be completed next spring.

This action in part met the contention of the coaches that 1t was not always possible to know the athletic ability of all fresh men runners at the time the formal entries closed.
 In accepting the forty eight hour entry the I, Q. A. A. A. A. saw an op- portunity to put in effect plan of publicity regarding athletic entrants, and adopted rule that all competi- tors in the first event must fur nish complete list of school and col lege scholastic standing, activity and records in all sports in which they had competed, and particularly in. track and field athletic events in which a point or prize winning position had been scored.
 According to unofficial statements this method of ascertaining the ath- letes' complete athletic history may be later adopted for all dual trian- gular and championship competitions under the jurisdiction of the organi- zation. Working with other similar collegiate sports governing bodies it is hoped that in time a plan may be broadened to cover baseball, football, basketball and other intercollegiate sports.
 The plan would then provide for the compiling of such data and it's distri- button, not only to the press, but competing colleges and alumni, varsity clubs and other similar organizations for inspection previous to competition. n. detecting any irregularities in the statement furnished by the proposed contestants and eliminate what is known in college athletic circles as the ringer, "drifter" and college jumper.

VILLA OUTPoINTs EDWARDS
 IN FAST 1O-RoUND BOUT

Boston, Oct 2S-Pancho Villa. Am erican flyweight champion, decisive ly outfought and outpointed Danny Edwards, Pacific coast bantamweight champion, in their ten round bout here tonight.
 The Filipino champions weight was announced as 113 1-2 and his oppo- nent's as 115 1-2. Villa outpointed Edwards in every round, although in the second it appeared as though the heavier fighter had a chance. In the early rounds Villa permitted Edwards to do the leading. but in the latter rounds he forced the fighting.
 Every hard blow struck by Edwards and there were quite a number, ap- peared to be the signal to Villa to unloose a veritable volley of blows, a volley which Edwards could not even block. The Filipino used almost every blow in the boxing vocabulary, frequently catching his opponent un- awares with back-hand clouts when it appeared that he had missed his aim entirely. @

WOODS AND CARNEY FIGHT
 FAST DRAW AT MYSTIC
lSneciaI 10 Ihe BuIIetInl

Mystic. Oct. 23-Billy Woods of Manchester, N. H., and Billy Carney of New Bedford fought ten fast and Iuricus rounds to a draw at the Will low Point Casino here tonight in the main bout on the card of the Mystic Athletic club. Due to the indictment weather and the lastness in starting he show the main go was cut down from twelve rounds to ten rounds which was perfectly satisfactory to all concerned.
 In the main mill both Woods and Carney started off at fast pace and he go developed into one of the best slugfests that the patrons of the Mys- dc shows have ever had the pleasure ,f witnessing. Carney tore into Woods with a swing left to the stomach but found the Manchester boy ready mixer always ready to take a wallop 10 give one in return. Carney was slightly the aggressor through the light while Woods contentinS himself with letting Carney come to him. Both boys were two fi:Eed fighters and worked hard rights and lefts with equal effect. The first two rounds were practically even while the third went to Carney by a shade. The -ourth was even with Carney missing several hard rights to Woods jaw and Woods missing by hair several sleep producing upper cuts. The fifth round was Woods who peppered Car ney with light left jabs and crossed wicked rights to the head several times. The sixth was an even break for the boys. In the seventh Woods locked Carney with several hard rights and lefts to the jaw but was unable .o wear him down.
 The eighth looked as if the end was near when Carney unintentionally hit Woods low and Referee Lee sent Woods to his corner for examination. After a moment Woods came back with a smile and the bout proceeded at the same fast pace. The ninth was even but Carney had the edge on Woods in the tenth both boys finish ng in a whirlwird of give and take milling. Referee Terry Lees decision Df a draw met with the hearty appro- Tal of the Spectators.
 The semi-final brought together Young Willard of Fall River and Tom my Dunne of Holyoke in a farcical mcounter. At the start the bout looked phoney as both boys seemed to be pulling their punches. They were warned several times by the referee and finally Willard snapped out of L anu SdAIcQ lnlO ApunnC WHO WOUlO not fight Lee disqualified Dunne and sent him to the showers, in the third round
 In the preliminary Young Billy Car ney, brother of Big Bill earned 9. de- cision over Young Leduce of Holyoke In six fast rounds.
 Smiler Mccormick of Stonington won a technical knockout over his fellow townsman, Kid Lewis, in the third round of the curtain-raiser. Lee stopped the bout to save Lewis from further punishment
 The work of Terry Lee of Bridgeport as referee drew favorable comment from the fans and his decisions were as near perfect as one would want. Ii Is a relief to see real referee in the ring in this part of the state.
 Palitz, sporting his left lamp in a sling, was introduced and challenged the winner of the main go.
