YALE TICKETS ON SALEA7 NEW HAVEN Fall Schedule Looks to Be For
 midable One

An added feature of the season ticket books for the Yale football games this fall, which went on sale today at the office in Durfee Hall, is a right to purchase reserved seat tick ct to the Yale-Princeton game ahead of a general public sale, if there are any tickets left after the Yale allot- ment.
 It is impossible to foretell now whether there will be Princeton tick cts available for season ticket holders, but the ticket privileges to graduates have been 50 restricted that it is prob able that there will be some excess supply this fall. Following the allot- nIent to graduates, the season ticket holders will be given an opportunity to purchase before any public sale.
 The tickets which went on sale to- day are $3.50 for all non-reserved seat games These are the games: Against North Carolina, October 6; the University of Georgia. October 13; Bucknell, October 20; Brown, Octo- Der 27; and Maryland, November 10.
 These comprise total of four ,75 cent and one $1.25 game, the total
New Britain herald., 1923-09-05

slnsls sdmisslon amounting to st.ss. The book therefore offers q ssvins of fs cents as well as a esnsenisnee. and the possible opportunity to subscribe for tickets to the Princeton Gams.
 The tickets do not include sdmis- sion to the Army game. November z. for which the seats are reserved as 10 the past.
 The schedule is shortened this year, not starting until October (. when North Carolina will come north for the first game. All the rest of the games. except Maryland. will be good tests of the strength Of the Yale team. Georgia and Bucknell always have strong teams and the material in both those colleges this year Is forecasted as being very good. These are the newcomers to the Yale schedule,
 The schedule looks like A tough one. which will properly develop the team for the final games with Prince ton and Harvard. the latter being at Cambridge this year.

 DUNDEE DECLARES
tcontinued From Preceding Page)

ard did not put in an>appearance ac- cording to schedule he would zoe De- fore the boxing commission and lay claim to Leonard's crown. Dundee following his custom on the nlghts preceding his bouts, went to the the" ater.
 Statement by Dundee.
 Late last night Dundee issued statement, which in part follows:
 "I am prepared to enter the ring against Leonard tomorrow night, and in the event that through some fauit of his the fight falls through, VIII claim both his title and his weight forfeit. Jimmie Johnston, promoter of the Cromwell A. C., issued a state ment this afternoon, declaring the bout off till a later date because of my physical condition, which he characterized as extremely poor" take particular exception to this statement, because, in the first place, it is untrue, and secondly. because it tends to create the impression that l am trying to run out on Leonard.
 "I stand ready to take a physical examination before any medical pro- lessor or doctor named by Johnston or the State Athletic Commission to prove that I am in superb physical condition.
 "The truth of the matter is. Leoh- ard cannot make the weight. and l am made to look like the guilty one. Johnston visited my training today. and asked me to stand for a two weeks postponement. l strongly op- posed the postponement or cancella- ton of any kind, and insisted that the bout go on tomorrow night as orig nally scheduled.
 My contention is that Leonard is ct lightweight. that he is a well \ weight, and that he is really afraid 10 meet me in decision bout at the ihtweight limit. I have succeeded
 driving Leonard right out of the 'htweight brigade and into the well i weight ranks-where he rightfully | longs. As lightweight champion I iw stand ready to meet all corners"

Ny The Assseistsa fTsss,
 sNsw York, Sept. b.-Luis Firpe, who meets Jack Dempsey Sept fl tor the worlds heavyweight title. fought the first major battle of his career in Madison Square Garden last March against Bill Brennan. Chicago veteran. F'irpo won by . knockout in the i2th round and Brennan spent q week in . New York hospital reeov- erinE from concussion of the brain and other effects of the beating he suffered.
 The end came with dramatic sud- denness. after the Argentine giant. his face streaming with blood from . gash over one eye. had been trailing his opponent on points. A terrific right that, landed back of Brennan's car was the punch that brought vie. tory to Firpo. The blow sent Bren- nan crashing to the floor, where he lay inert even after the count of ten, Ills seconds carried him 10 his corner and he was partially revived. He was taken to the hospital next morning.
 The story of the I2th round:
 "Firpo rushed from his corner and landed three smashing rights to the head. Brennan whipped right up- percut and then followed with right and left to the body. Firpo forced the Chicagoan back with two hard rights to the head. Quick to sense approaching victory, Firpo tore loose a battery Of rights and lefts to the head and body. Brennan tried to duck out of his advsrsary's reach but was caught with right swing on the jaw. The South American leaped fin and again swung his right. landing behind the ear and Brennan went down for the count"
