Any time a champion enters
the ring against an opponent who
has weighed in, he is defending
his title. 1t matters not one whit
that the titleholder overlooked
that little thing. 1t is important
only that the challenger weigh in.
Battling Sikh was the worlds
light heavyweight champion when
he faced Mike McTigue. It is not
important that he failed to weigh
in.
McTigue was the challenger.
He weighed in at slightly more
than the middleweight limit and
was awarded a referees decision
at the end of twenty rounds.
The European ring moguls
merely make themselves ridicu-
lous in the eyes of Britishers and
Americans in their latest de-
cision that the worlds light
heavyweight title is open. They
are playing the other fellows

GREASY NEALE
WILL STAY At
VIRGINIA
Charlottesville Powers Tire of
Yearly Changes of
Coach.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Nov.
21.-Announcement that Coach Earle
Neale has entered upon an agree
ment with the Athletic Council to
coach football and baseball at the
University Of Virginia through the
session of 1924-25 has been the
cause of widespread rejoicing on the
part of the entire university student
body.
The Athletic Council also secured
an option on the services Of Coach
Neaie for third session at the
university. Though the council
meeting was held last week only
faculty and student members were
present, and before final action
could be taken the three alumni
members had to be communicated
with.
When Coach Neale spoke at an
athletic rally last Friday night the
prolonged cheers and applause OF
the students was a tribute to his
popularity in spite of the poor rec
ora or the team. The general opin
ion is that three changes in coach
ing systems in as many years and
an almost unprecedented series OF
cap than any team could over
come.
Captain Blackford, who has beer
on the bench for two weeks, was
out in uniform Monday Afternoon
for the first time since the Wash
ington and Lee game. It is hoped
that Carter Diffey will be able tc
play against North Carolina in the
final game, for he was greatly miss
ed in-the contest against Virgins
Polytechnic Institute.
Virginia's spirit in holding the
Tech team to a three-point rlargir
with a crippled eleven has reused
the students to the hope that, that
Carolinians may be worsted or
Thanksgiving. Coach Neale has
gotten down to real business in
preparation for the invasion OF
Chapel Hill. Monday afternoon tn.
workout was light and brief, but
yesterday saw the squad going
through stiff two hours of drill.

Yale And Army Are
Favorites In
Betting

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Not-
withstanding the increased ac-
tivity in the stock market, Wall
Street is finding time to devote
considerable attention to the big
football games that, take place
Saturday and already lively
betting is being INDUCED in.
According to j. S. Fried &
Co., one of the firms in the
financial district which handles
commissions of this kind, Yale
is a decided favorite over Har-
ward, the odds on the former
being as good as 5 to 2.
On the Army Navy game,
however, the odds are much
closer, with the West Pointers
held slight favorite over the
Annapolis men. Plenty of
money is offered on the Army
at odds Of s to 5.

But it took a, contest in which the
famous star of the Rancocas string
was a non-starter to convince US
that he stands at the top Of his divl-
sion. A rather peculiar twist to the
usual order of things, but 1t, never
theless, is a fact.
In other words, the showing OF
| Admiral Cary T. Grayson's My Own
| in the Prince Georges, the one race
in which it was agreed that he must
show enough to warrant a return en-.
gagement with the son Of The Finn,
provided that My Own has very lit
| tie, if any chance, of taking the
measure of the Sinclair color bearer.
Zev is a wonderful horse, but he
never was nor never will be a
wonder horse. He will never be
spoken of in the same breath as
Man O. War. Yet, that does not de-
tract one iota from the glory which
is now his, neither does it duh his
brilliant performances and accom-
plishments of the season.
For weeks, along with thousands
of others, we harbOred the opinion
that My Own was every whit as
good, if not better racing
Thoroughbred than the RancOcas
star. We had the cold, cold dope
to guide us i'm the opinion. SCnti-
ment also played it's part.
The records showed the son of
King James to be faster than Zev.
But records evidently mean very lit
tie, if anything, in comparing the
relative merits of one thoroughbred
with another.
The records show that My Own

Coach Fisher has counted noses
to find just how he stands IN
Strength for Saturday. Unless al
signs fail Tubby Grew, the big 22O
pound guard, who has twice Won
his II, !" will be an interested but
not active participant in Saturday
game. Grew is the hard luck KID
of the Crimson outfit. He did man
age to break into Yale game as
substitute in his first year, being
considered the equal of the regular
guards.
Last fall when he was due to
against the Brown Bears put him
hors de combat for the remainder
of the season. This seems to be
the case again, and Harvard Will
have to depend upon lesser lights
TO serve as substitutes.
Coach SOucy will have to con-
slider Lou Gordon, Jim Combs and
Ted Crosby in his last analysis
for companion end to Ken Hill.
Combs is slight, but a hustler and
good in blocking kicks, but he
hasn't the finish of Gordon, who
started last years Yale game, but
has been trailing all fall largely
because he feels q bit too conf
dent of his prowess.
Combs and Gordon are basket
ball players and therefore valuable
in the forward pass play. 1t was
the latter who went over for Har-
wards sole touchdown in the Brown
game on the end of an aerial from
Phil Spalding.
Charlie Eastman and Earl Evans,
a pair of 210-pound players, are the
Harvard tackles. The former is
off his game this fall, but Evans
seems to fill the bill all right. Art
Hobson is first string substitute.
Captain Hubbard and Heinie Dun
ker are the regular guards. The
latter may possibly shift with East
man, but it is believed that it is
too late for such a change. HIb-
bard has been big factor in what
fight the Harvard line has shown
this season, but Bunker hasn't done
so well since his shift from tackle.
Nal Greenough and Frank Herman
should divide the task at center
Greenough is down to start. Stan
Bradford is also likely to get in.
Fisher probably will not decide
right down to the time of the
game whether he will use Joe
McGlOne or Jimmie Lee at quar-
terback. In the latter he has the
Harvard type of quarter, while
McGI0ne is the more spectacular
and a good running back if he
can get proper protection.
Jack Hammond, Dolph Cheek,
and Coburn will make up the re.
mainder of the backfield. The first
named is expected to do the punt
ing, but Cheek can alternate if
necessary. Coburn is the defensive
player of the trio and a powerful
line plunger. Cheek figures in off
tackle plays and forward passes.
What Harvard PLAYERS need most
now is to keep their assignments.
Interfere reads placard in the
football room, and that is impressed
on the players AZ all times.
Scrimmage finished the week be.
fore the Brown game and anything
of that order just Eow will be of
the dummy type. The players have

Golfers who make a long

what Harry Vardon has to say
on the subject. He thinks that
nobody makes the game really
easier for himself by very long
hitting.
"Of the reputedly big hitters
in the professional ranks" he
observed, Edward, Ray has
won the British open champion
ship only once and Abe Mitchell
has yet to win it. Nor have
long drivers been conspicuously
successful in the amateur cham
pionship. True, Cyril Tolley
won in 1920, but it happened on
that occasion that he sacrificed
length from the tee by driving
with his spoon-which, perhaps,
was precisely why he eri-
umphed."
