GO FAR AFIELD
FOR SOCCER
CAPTAINS
Harvard Players Seek Leaders
Of Foreign Birth at
Least.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 49,
Soccer players at Harvard have
worked into the habit of going far
afield for their captains in the past
few years. Last fall the Harvard
hooters wer led by Randolph Hell
ger, who was born in, CONSTANT
nople, Turkey, but claimed citizen
ship in the good old United States
Of America.
This fall they werc prepared to
said under even more foreign colors.
when they chose Fred Wales, of
Bermuda, a British subject. Then,
when he could not return, they
could not resist sticking to their
record, and chose Ralph Greenidge,
who calls Barbardos, in the British
West Indies, his home.
Greenidge has played as q half
back on the soccer team for the
past two seasons and is q likeable
fellow. He has achieved his great
est fame at Harvard in track. in
which he blossOIned out as a javeltn
thrower when Harvard had to de-
velop men to throw the spear a few
years ago.
Ralph Is a small man for the
jaVelin throw in track, but Jakko
Mikkola took the little Scot in hand
two years ago and showed him the
fine points Of the game as well as
a Finnish coach could show them
to a British. subject who talks
Scottish. Greenidge gets his dis
lance, which makes him the present
Harvard record holder, from I'M
orthodox means so far as regular
accepted form in javelin throwing
is concerned.
AS he has not the reach with
which to swing his spear, he makes
up for . deficiencies Of nature by
getting a tremendous snap into his
throw. His best0throw is well over
1870 feet, and he believes that he
will do even better this spring.
Soccer is a game that Greenidge
plays because he likes the game.
Like any man doing the thing he
delights in, he is exceptionally good
at the game, and will undoubtedly
rank with the best backs Of the
wear in soccer. He has a capable
list of veterans returning for work
this fall, including Corliss Lamont,
son of the New York financier, who
uses this game as his form of ex-
ercise and incidentally gets a lot
Of good playing into every season.
Coach WEIGH, who also halls
from a foreign land, having learned
the game as an English profes.
sional player, will team up we'll
with Greenidge, and with this pair
working together, Harvard should
have q scrappy soccer team this
fall.

me sensation caused by this
piece Of work was countrywide and
Rickard got the idea that return
match between the two would be
a great. drawing card. He signed
Wilson to box Downey over in
Jersey City. offering him $4,000.
But boxing fans refused to turn out
to see the men IN action and they
were right, for the two put up g
miserable exhibition. Rickard lost
considerable on the venture. He
tried to withhold Wilson'S money.
but eventually he was forced to
settle.
The recent affair between Nc
'Tigue and Stribling was similar to
the wilson Downey bout at Cleye-
land. The main difference was that
Referee Harry ErtIe did not have
as much nerve as Gardner. Ertle
weakened at the critical moment.
From all accounts Striking won
the bout by q wide margin and

However, there are many who be-
Iieve that 3 referees first YER
dict goes whether it was right or
wrong. StribIing deserves another
chance to show that he is . bet.
ter man than MOTigue, but the
latter should not be allowed to
take all the money. That would
be encouraging such disgraceful
affairs as that at Columbus, Ga.
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 lead
ing contenders for the lightweight
title was knocked down for con-
siderabiy more than ten seconds by
q third rater. A friendly referee
saved the star boxer by giving him
a, long count.
This private referee system is
one Of the Wbrst canler spots in
boxing. In any other line Of sport
such a thing would be impossible.
In ring circles it has become 80
common that it has ceased to at.
tract attention except when a
championship is involved.
Evidently boxing men have no
sense Of humor. Otherwise the
lack of fair play in such an ar.
