Illini Win From
Chicago, 7 to 0

Urbana. H., Nov. 3.-Illinois stu
dents and alumni paid $1,000, 900 to
make possible their I TO victory
over Chicago here today In the
biggest Homecoming the Illini have
ever known. More than 10000 peo-
pie jammed into the mammoth new
memorial stadium, saw Harold
Grange. Zuppke's phantom pile
driver, crash across the Chicago line
in the third quarter for the only
touchdown of the game.
In spite of the cold driving rain
which drenched all spectators not
seated under the upper decks of the
stadium, the game was lively one
for spectators and players alike.
Chicago made n good start In the
first quarter and seemed to have
found n vulnerable spot in the Illini
line and carried the ball to Illinois
six yard line before Zuppke's eleven
rallied and took the ball on downs.
From that point the game was fairly
even with both teams opening mo-
mentary offenses which promised
without delivering scores.
Harold Grange fulfilled the ex.
pectations of the alumni. many OF
whom came miles to see him. by
intercepting pass and tearing off
a 42.yard run In the first quarter
and adding spectacular so-yard run
in the second. The Chicago defense
was unable to solve his twisting ad.

It was after the teams had battled
each other TO a scoreless tie in the
first half with most OF the play in
the center of the field that Illinois
opened a real drive for the goal. IN
the third period taking the ball on
their own 37-yard line Grange opened
the drive with a three-yard plunge
at the line and McTlwain added five.
Grange added five for first down
and then wormed his way through
the Chicago team for % yards around

.yan's Fighters
to Stage Show
Amateurs Meet in Ring Tues
day Night for
First Go.

Denny Ryan has the stage all set
for his first monthly amateurs box
ing contest to be held Tuesday night.
He has arranged. for IL bouts OF
three rounds each. All of the prin-
cipals have been selected from his
Tuesday night boxing class.
This is the first of the monthly
cards that Denny stages throughout
the winter months. He has class Of
$50 men and boys who report every
Tuesday night to learn the manly
art of self-defense and Denny teaches
them all the tricks of the trade.
"Thls first card is just sort OF
a workout for the boys" Denny said.
"They have been taught the prin-
ciples of the game and now 1 want
to see them practice them while In
action. 1t isn't long until the COM
petition starts and I want to have
the fellows in that who are going
to make the best showing"
The next card will be staged on
December 4 and amateur fighters
from North Dakota, South Dakota.
Iowa and Nebraska will take part.
The champs for all Of the athletic
clubs in these four states will fight
to hold their titles.
One week later the winners of these
bouts will go to Kansas City to take
part in the tournament there. All Of
the men that Ryan takes with him
will travel as representatives OF the
Omaha Athletic club and their honors
will be shared jointly with the club.
Denny is now planning on having
his bouts at least once every month
and possibly more often through the
remainder of the winter. Several big
cards are being planned for later
months that should be mighty good.
Every card that had been arranged
is good. Denny's amateur shows are
always good. Unlike many amateurs
Denny's men are trained to use
science more than brute strength.
They have gotten away from the old
idea Of standing toe to toe and TAX
ing 10 blows in order to deliver one
that will count.

Private Referees Are Harming
Game in the Opinion Of Experts

The recent affair between McTigue
and stribling was similar to the VIII
son .Downey bout at Cleveland. The
main difference was that Referee
Harry Ertle did not have as much
nerve az Gardner. Ertle weakened at
the critical moment.
1t has come to be common thing
for boxers to take friendly referees
around the country with them on
their transforming trips. A few
months ago one OF the leading con.
tenders for the lightweight title was
knocked down for considerably more
than 10 seconds by third rater. A
friendly referee saved the star boxer
by giving him long count.
This private referee system 10 one
Of the worst canker spots in boxing.
In any other line Of sport such a
thing would be impossible. In ring
circles 1t has become 30 common that
Il has ceased to attract attention ex-
cept when a championship IL involved.
Evidently boxing men have no sense
Of humor. Otherwise the lack of fair
play In such an arrangement would
make the thing appear too ridiculous
for consideration.

Princeton and Harvard first came
to grips on the gridiron In 1877. just
46 years ago. There have been lapses
since, one of these quite extended.
but they have been hard at 1t steadily
now for the last IL years.
The Tiger has always been an an
noying factor in Crimson life. 1t
might be noted here that Harvard
hasn't beaten a Princeton team since
the war. During this interval Har-
ward has drawn four consecutive vic
tories over Yale. but the Nassau
count shows two ties and two Tiger
victories out of four starts.
1t has been seven years now since
Harvard tilted over a Princeton team.
Now the Crimson comes again to the
Palmer stadium and it IL no part Of
a certainty that Harvard Is going to
break the spell. At the seasons start
the outlook was all Crimson. Coach
Fisher has eight or nine men back
who played last fall against Yale. The
Harvard line was known TO be quite
strong. The Harvard backfield had
prospects. And Princeton had lost
heavily from a year ago, with Treat,
Baker, Cleaves. Gray and otheks miss
ing. In early October Princeton S
outlook was extremely sour and
moldy. But in the last two weeks
the Tiger has been steadily improy-
ing and Harvard has skidded from
one trouble TO another. with pretty
fair testimony that the Harvard team
is none too brilliant. Harvard. mean
while. had lost owen. Buell. and
Gehrke from last years backfield,
and that was no light blow.
Harvard in October deemed this a
pretty fair year in which to check
the Tiger march. Now Harvard isn't
so certain. Princeton hasn't one OF
her great teams. but neither has Har.
ward So there Is every prospect for
hard. even game. with little adyan-
tage either way. Neither team has
strong running attack,so far at least.
so most of the scoring viii have TO
come from field goals or the pass.
BY next Saturday both elevens
should have reached an advanced
state of development. with about the
best they have TO offer. Both have
been up against stout opposition and
both at one time have been pretty
well hammered out. Notre Dame ap-
piled the hammering to Princeton and
Dartmouth responded for Harvard
So they have been seasoned in ad.
verslty Neither has any cause for
an overconfident attitude.
Princeton has lost one game to Har.
ward and Yale out OF the last eight
starts. Harvard has lost two against
her old rivals and Yale has lost seven.
Now Yale seems about due again.
For that matter. we figured Yale
about due last fall, but the Blue lost
both big games. Princeton has
way OF bounding along stoutly for her
two closing parties. just "a Harvard
has way Of reaching the peak against
Yale. So far this fall neither has
shown enough to indicate a victory

against each other. This means an
even battle before another great
crowd, with the ultimate issue in
doubt.

In a terrific, smashing battle, EN-

Grand Island for unnecessary rough

to defeat. fighting to the last inch.
But they were outfought and out

played as IL possessed from the start

series of line rushes and short end
runs that swept the warriors off their
