tough engagement booked for this
Sunday afternoon, a meeting with
the fast travelling Hudson County
FIVE. on the latter's court at Hobo
ken.
With Kelly, Weimer, Stretch"
Harvey, Olson and Guerber, the Ho-
bokenites are making a strong bid
for state championship honors. To
date they have played nearly all of
the leading ~quintets in Northern
Jersey and the management is
planning his campaign against con-
tenders in this part of the state.
All of the men on the Hoboken
roster are we'll known here, having
played with numerous teams on To-
courts during the past several
years. Harvey will give Harry Da-
Wis an interesting time in the outer
circles.
The st. Mary Speedway team add
ed another important victory to their
string on Wednesday night. In this
game Tim Foley's crack st. Angus
tine Big Five of New York City, was
defeated.
Eddie Schelling, who was absent
from the lineup on Wednesday, will
be back in the fold against the Ho-

Independent female basketball team

scheduled to open the season, but
the opposition failed to put in an
appearance. Coach Bob Handerhan

Handerhan, Marie Feldman, Lillian
Bjork and other female basketball

YALE ELEVEN
BIC FAVORTE
"MakeShift" Princeton Team
Has Little Chance to Win
Second Contest

New Jersey followers of college
gridiron activities are pulling for
Bill Roper's "makeshift" Tiger team
of Princeton, to down Old ELS
eleven at New Haven, Conn.,, tomor-
row afternoon. This Is the second
contest of the annual big Three"
football series.
Last Saturday at Princeton, Har-
ward barely nVsed out a victor over
the Rope gridiron ccmbination. 1t
was a contest between two teams,
much weaker than usual and the
Princeton coach has worked hard
this week to present greater
strength in the New England state
bowl tomorrow afternoon.
Yale hackers are betting 81 to 1
the winning streak of the team will
emain intact. They contend that
Old Eli has one of it's greatest elev-
ems this fall and in contests to date
the Orange and Black team has been
far below standard. Princeton lost
to Notre Dame and Harvard, and
tied Navy. Yale walloped the Army
team by a big score and moved
down all other opposition. Maryland
gave the bulldogs" a slight scare
last Saturday.
The visitors will make use of ev-
cry trick in an effort to down the
Bulldogs tomorrow for this contest
is nothing more than a gamble for
them. If the Jersey entry Is not
unusually strong, Yale will save her
best hands for the game with Har-
ward a week from tomorrow.
Both coaches will have practically
their entire squad of gridiron men
available for service in tomorrow's
tilt,

LEAGUE CANES
BENEFIT STAR

Class After N. Y. League
Contests

Thomas expects to have another
big season in the New York state

strongest court organizations in the
country. He spent his first year
with Gloversville and last year
served with Schenectady.
Bergman, Cremmens, Schmelk,
Malone and other great court stars
are also entered in this circuit. The
Schenectady team played Glenns
Falls at Glenns Falls last night, and
tonight the two teams started the
ball arolling on the Schenectady
floor.
With one or two league games un-
der his belt each week, the Jersey
champions captain will be able to
step out on the New Brunswick ave-
nue. court and show the fans some

Works field.
This is the first game on the sec
ond half schedule of the East Jersey

appointed because of the Winton
cancellation. The Hobokenites will
be booked at a later date when the
Winton manager can guarantee the
appearance of Banks.
Banks always played sensational
ball on the local court, and the fans
would receive a real disappointment

down without the star. The Win
tons won an extra five minute period
contest from the Amboys on the local
court last winter.
Since their appearance here, the
Wintons have defeated the crack
Commonwealth colored team, of
Harlem, the Long Island Profession

BOYS TRIM
LOCAL Y.M.H.A. FIv

Opposed to the rapid passing and
shooting Passaic Independent COM
bination last night, Sam Breslow's
local Y. M. III. A. basketeers played
far below their usual standard and
were beaten 69-3S. This contest was
played on the association court,
Smith and Mcclellan streets.
With K~rakovitch, star of the Pas
sale High School wonder team" in
the star role, the visitors walked
away from the locals in the opening
period. Cantor succeeded time af-
ter time in getting the tap back to
one or the other of his guards, and
a field score followed. Six times
during this period, Krakovitch
marched through the Amboy de-
Tense for a double decker and the
visiting pivot man also succeeded
in getting away from Ham" Fine in
this session.
So loose was the defense of the To-
calls, that the visitors scored prac-
ticaLly at will and there was little
chance to show any of the nassing
for which the Passaic quintet is
known. AT the conclusion of the
first twenty minutes of play the
score stood 1911 in favor of the
visiting club.
For the second half, Mandel went
to guard in place of Rosenblum
and several times during the last
twenty minutes, the new man went
to center and allowed Fine to go to
the backfield.
Krakovitch laid off scoring in the
last half of the game, tallying only
one field goal. After bringing the
ball to a position under his own
basket, as is his usual custom, he
passed to some one of his team
mates. Cantor was the shooting
ace for the Passaic combination in
the final period.
AT no time during the entire forty
minutes of play was the result of the
contest in doubt. In the entire game

STRANGE CASE Of WILLS
AND OTHER FIGHTERS
BY JOE WILLIAMS

Why is 1t that the modern bat
tier cracks his hands SO often?
Harry Wills, Uncle Tom of the ring,
has a pair of lame dukes, notwith-
standing his protestations to the
contrary.
Wills, in hammering the decrepit
Jack Thompson into submission
some days ago, took few chances,
protected his hands at every turn,
and rarely ever tried a full swing.
1t wasn't that he was Saving his
hands for a Dempsey bout" The
fact is Wills hands are brittle, and
he can no longer land a solid punch
without suffering himself.
Mike McTigue, who went to Dub
lin to win the light heavyweight
championship from a Senegalese, has
a pair of plate mittens. 1t is said
the Irishman's hands are so weak
that he has to pull his punches while
shadow boxing. McTigue has just
cancelled a fight with Gene Tunney
on accoun of the condition Of his
hands.
Wills and McTigue are no excep-
lions. There is hardly a fighter in
the game today who hasn't been
laid up with busted weapons.
Johnny Kilbane cracked his right
hand in the Criqui fight. Johnny
Wilson broke his left hand on Mike
O'Dowd's head. Lew Tender is a
chronic sufferer from bad hands.
Carpenter broke his hand the first
time he hit Dempsey.
Don't Hit Properly
No fighter. will hurt his hand If
he delivers the punch properly, espe-
cially in these times when heavy
bandages and gloves are worn.
Splintered hands were uncommon in
the old days-even in the bare
knuckle days. The old timers APP
parently made more of a study of
the proper methods of hitting. They
knew better how to hold their hands
and how to land.
You certainly wouldn't say the old
timers were weaker hitters! That's
all John L. could do. Fitzsimmons
has never had an equal as a hitter,
considering his light ~poundage.
Sharkey, Maher and Jeffries were
bone crushers. These fellows sell
dom had their hands in splints.
Dempsey and Leonard are the two
finest hitters in the game today.
They work like the old timers. They
hold their hands at the right angle
when delivering a punch. They bank
on short, snappy jolts, rather than
long, sweeping swings.
No fighter ever put his hands to a
more sereve test than did Dempsey
in his fights with Willard and Firpo,
giants who outweighed him by many
| pounds. Dempsey Knocked Willard
down and cut him to ribbons with
vicious punches. After the fight his
hands were barely swollen.
Dempsey knocked the massive
Firpo down nine times, and then
spent several hours after the fight
shaking hands with admirers. The
champs hands aren't glass knobs.
