orite, has signed to fight frankie
Farmar, in Wilkesbarre, Pa, on
Monday night, November 19. The
borough boxer won a number of
important battles in the coal re-
gion" of Pennsylvania recently and

middleweight champion, and Bat
Ting Sikh, the Sengalese battler, are
also due to train at this place dur
ing the next few days and the Car
teret southpaw is expected to get
some valuable pointers in workouts
with the former champion.
Morris surprised Middlesex county
and Staten Island fans about TWO
weeks ago by decisively licking
Billy Murphy. Staten Island veteran
at the Police Social Club show in TINS
city. The borough boxer promises
to be one of Jerseys best represen-
tatives in the fistic game within
the next few years.
The Southpaw glove wielder has
stepped to the front fast enough.
His manager should look up the
campaigns of other boys in a SIM
liar position, boys who were rushed
to the front too quick and missed
a chance to reach the top rung Of
the ladder Of fame.

whistle to open his teams court sea-
son. Next Friday afternoon, at

How is a player Clipped"
Answered by

II. @. BOB" NUPPkE
Head Football Coach University OF
of Illinois. The man who has
the Illinois teams to be known
throughout the country as "The
Fighting Him."
A player is clipped from behind In
the open field. The player who in
tends to clip is performing a foul
act and the penalty is fifteen yards
from the spot of the foul. The clip
per hurls his body across the calves
at the spot nearest the knee and COW
ers his own face with his forearms
to protect it from the victims heels.
The act is known as "hair-stringing."
II the clipper performs his act
efficiently, he will do what we call
''iron out his man." i. e., throw him
fiat to the ground with stomach and
face down. If he catches the victim
in such a way as to produce a roll
ing motion during the fall and at
sh4 same time manages to hold one
calf between his body and the
ground, as in a vice, he will cause his
victim to severely wrench his knee.
This is the meanest play in football,
and should be classed with the cow
ardly acts.

1t was one of the most spirited
battles witnessed on the Auditorium
court in two seasons, and sensa-
tional rallies by the Amboys in the
latter part of the two sessions fea-
tured. Captain Thomas and Dew
ey" Schwankert divided scoring
honors between them, scoring two
points less than the entire Harmony
Club.
The visitors drew first blood in
this contest after about four minutes
of play, Marion making a foul shot.
For the next seven minutes the go
Ing was nip and tuck, and then the
locals started their first half squirt
which gave them a 16 to 10 lead at
half time.
