HARVARD PLEASED
 WITH TEAMS WORK
Nothing But Praise for Men in
 Yale Game

Boston, Dec. S.-While defeat in any sport is never relished. it is said that Harvard is more than satisfied with the outcome of the Yale game, which was lost by 13 to 0 score.
 Harvard was in no way disgraced. The only touchdown scored was the result of tumble, the other six points resulting from two, drop kicks by Captain Mallory of Yale.
 The weather was the break of the game for Harvard. The terrible con- dftion of the field and the downpour in which the game was played prac- tically placed the two teams on an equality, despite the fact that Yale was much the superior.
 Several of the former stars of liar ward who secuted the Yale-Princeton game are frank 10 say that the Yale team of this year was one of the best old Eli has ever turned out.
 Tacks Hardwick. former Crimson star. is the authority for the state ment that on the form Yale showed against Princeton. compared to that of Harvard. Yale was at least two touchdowns the better team. On a dry field Yale would have probably proved it.
 That is why Harvard is more than satisfied with the l3 to 0 defeat.

BLOCKED PUNTS ARE COSTLY
Curran, Mich. End, Inter- cepted Seven During Sea son But They Worked Against His Team.

Twelve points were scored against Michigan this year. Iowa and Wis consin each scored field goal and the Marines, from Quantico, Va, made the only touchdown.
 Had Michiga iHbeen able to recover all the kicks she blocked, nine of the l2 points would have been prevented, for, strange as it may seem, nine of the points were made possible by Michigan's blocking of attempts to kick field goals.
 Iowa got inside Michigan's 15-yard line. Three attempts to penetrate the Michigan defense gave the lowans one yard. A field goal was attempted on fourth down. The kick was low and wide Currsn, Michigan end, got through the Wisconsin line and blocked the kick but the ball struck Curran high and bounded over his shoulder toward the Michigan goal. Tn the wiG scramble to recover the ball Iowa again got possession of it and when the teams lined up Iowa was on Michigan's S-yard line with four downs ahead of her. Three more attempts nctted Iowa single yard again and on fourth down second attempt 10 kick a field goal succeed ed. It was the first time Michigan was scored against this year.
 Against the Marines there was q repetition. Getting inside Mchigan's l5-yard line tho Marines made three yards in as many Smashcs and tried for a field goal on fourth down. Cur ran again blocked the kick. Tho ball once more struck high and bounded toward the Michigan goal. Marines recovered It was their ball with first down on Michigan's 6-yard line. From there they smashed their way through to a touchdown.
 Curran can be ranked as the west s leading punt blocker of the season. He blocked seven punts, all in big games. Michigan recovered only three Of these and this also, is q record. l Currans work was excellent, but on four occasions il worked to the ad- vantage of the opposing team.

 In all probability, no player. ever had tougher job slipped to him than Blott when hc was placed at center for Michigan. He succeeded Ernie Wick, All-Amcrican star. It was figured the departure Of Wick from the center Of the Michigan line would be sadly felt,
 The play Of Blott for the past two years has been so good that Wick, dc- spite his greatness, hasn't even been missed. Besides being q real center, Rlott also stars at kicking goals from the field. Blott won tho Vanderbilt game this year by field goal and de- ridcd the Iowa game by falling across tho goal line on a loose bah for the touchdown.

KID kAPLANS NEXT
 BOUT IS IMPORTANT
Waterbury Affair Likely to Prove
 Stepping Stone

Meridcn, Dec. S.--Waterbury may be a scene of Kid Kaplan's most inn portant fstc activities during the coming winter. Kaplan makes his
 bow there next Thursday evening in a 12-round bout against Johnny Leon ard. the Allentown, Pa.. battler. who is forging his way up the junior light weight ladder. This bout may be only the forerunner of three or four others in which kaplan will be one of the principals. Promoter Mulligan has a promise from Jimmie Johnston. Johnny Dundee's manager, that Dun dee will meet kaplan in Waterbury early in the New Year. It's only d promise vet but Promoter Mulligan hopes to get it down in the official black and white of the state boxing commission before long.
 kaplan is getting d fat guarantee for his performance against Leonard, Every boxer on the card is working on a guarantee. But Promoter Null ligan isn't taken much of chance with Kaplan topping the bill for the Meriden boy is unquestionably Con necticut's premier drawing card just now.
 For the past few months, ever since the open-air season closed, the popular spot Of Nutmeg state promoters has been bidding for kaplan's services. And the Meriden Brarcat turned u deaf car Co all of- ftrs. The dope WAS that there wasn't promoter in the state who could aC- ford to pay kaplan what his services are now worth. But therc is little sentiment left in the boxing game. even though the cynics would have us believe otherwise.
 Three or four years ago. when Rap Ian was d ham-and-cgg performer, struggling along in the preliminary bouts Promoter Muligan gave him plenty Of work. Then one night, an opponent selected 10 meet Johnny Shugrue failed 10 show up and George was hard pressed for a substitute. He offered ksplan his first crack at main bout and tho Kid accepted it vii ihout having a chance to get into He took a beating that night but he stayed the limit and learned enough about Shugrue's style of lighting 10 beat him a year later. kaplan hasn't forgotten that boost he got from Mulllgab and that's one Of lhe reasons he signed up for the Waterbury promoter 8 few days ago. Oi course another reason is tho fact that he is getting nicc, fat guaran- tee.
 Wi'ie ShuErne and Johnny Ma son in th" semifinal will he an- other big drawing card. These boys have had three sensational battles 10 date but. although shugruc has the better uf the argument, there has been | no decisive settling of Inc question Of New Maven. Bridgeport and south Norwalk fans who saw the 1 pre- ious bouts will not want to miss l this one. They will go 10 rounds and l f they can't settle their argument in | thst time, they're pretty evenly | matched.
 X classy preliminary of 10 rounds aill bn the battle between Young Sil- ' serberS and Young Mulligsn. clever ' pair of bantams whnsn work needs no | 
 The bouts will be staged in the new | armory which will seat l i.o0o fans.

 at Armory Tonight
Big Game At 9 P. VI.

The lid is pried off on professional basketball at the state armory tonight when the Company L outfit from Tor rington clashes with the New Britain five.
 The preliminary game. between the West Ends and the Comets, will be called at s p. m. and at 9 o'clock the big game will start, followed by danc- ing.
 V Locals Look Good
 The local outfit looks very good. Last night the team had three hours of practice. with especial attention to Taylor and Babcock. Four men were guarding these two f1ashy forwards, but they experienced comparatively little trouble in dropping them in from all angles and all positions. These two should develop into a whirlwind duo. Their pass work is excellent and their shooting fine. Each is fast and the work Of his co-partner keeps the other at top speed.
 Larson and Eilduff. who start as guards arc steady. safe players and each is a bad man when he gets a shot at the basket.
 Chuck" Woiak will work out in the center position and Pelletier and La liar will relieve Kilduff and Fay lor
 Dillon and Hayes
 The referee tonight will be Snel- grose of Windsor, but from tonight on the officials will be Dick Dillon and Chick Hayes, alternating.
