New York, Nov. 19.-The state athletic commission yesterday placed ,rs official etamp of approval on the Tom Gibbons-Kid Norfolk l5-round match at Madison Square Garden Tuesday.

This match is the hcaduncr of the Christmas fund show, the net profits of winch will be distributed among the poor Of New York.
 Harry Wills, Bartley Madden and Jack Renault were called in at the meeting and each asked if he would agree to fight Gibbons, Wills and Rcnault were forced 10 decline due to injured thumbs, but Madden agreed 10 accept the assignment When it came to a vote, however, Norfolk was picked.
 The board of deputies reported on the weights and condition Of the contenders in the featherweight elimination tournament. II devel- oped that Kaplan. Paluso and Garcia weighed 127 pounds, one pound over the recognized featherWcight limit of 126 pounds, but the boxers in each instance convinced the deputies that they could get down 10 196 pounds before 2 o'clock Friday aft ernoon, the time sct for the official weighing in. Billy Defoe, of St, Paul, and Babe Herman, of New York; alternates in the tournament, will he substituted in the order named in the event any boxer is un- able to make the stipulated 126 pounds.
 Tho commission also ruled that in Fridays matches, the first round of the tournament, draws would be determined by the principals con- tinuing on for two more rounds as in amateur competition. If tho ballots of the judges and the ref cree determine that the fight has been even for the ten scheduld rounds the fighters will continue on, as soon as possible, for two more rounds, after which a new ballot will be taken up,
 The second round Of the tourna- ment, scheduled for three weeks later, brings together two of the three winners at this weeks match es in a 12-round encounter, The commission decided that if this semi-fnal match was declared & draw at the termination of the twelfth round the boxers would continue until they have fought 15 rounds.

Washington Reconciled.

By The Associated P---s.
 Washington, Nor. 12.-The de- posit at Oakland. Ca'if~ hy Walter Johnson Of his first payment for tho Oakland club Of the Pacific Coast baseball league Is accepted by Wash ington fandom as definitely meaning the loss of the star pitcher to Wash ington, although his formal release from the local club has not as yet been granted.
 In passing from major league base ball. Johnson has brought 10 pass something that has seldom happened in competitive sports-the retire ment ot an athlete at the top of his form and at the point of his greatest glory.
 Down through the line of athletic endeayor from pugiism to the tos- sing Of horse shoes, the successful ones who have willingly foresworn the plaudits of the crowd and all that goes with the name of a win. ner can be counted on the liners ot one hand.
 His departure means the passing of an institution and a tradition Just as the White House or th' Washington monument are frs thought of in the mention Of tho Capital City, so Johnson las beer linked Up with tho baseball fortunes of the town, Nobody thinks of the Washington club without thinking oi Johnson and flor years q great dea' of it's patronage has been due to a desire of persons to see him.
 Some of the most rabid fans who frequent the Georgia avenue park oI Clark Griffith, were babes in arm: when Johnson pitched first here and to these Johnson had become a mat ter of fact, guaranteed to win % ol more games, regardless of thf strength of the club behind him They are now looking vainly fol some one to take his job.

PRINTING IS LOST ART
 IN BOXING GAME TODAY
Jack Britton Says That Only One
 Or Two Fighters know What
It Is

Ntw York, Nov. I9.-Teintng is a lost art in boxing as the game is practicc1 today, says Jack Brittton, former eIterweight champion. Britton says that with one or two exceptions there are no fight CTS today who have a logical con- ceptiou of what the fcint is.
 Tn the old days" says Bri'ton, the first thing a fighter tried 10 master was the fcint. Now when you mention feint' to a boxer he thinks some one has swooned.
 "Leonard is probably the best exponent of the feint in boxing to- day The lightweight champion at least knows what it is for. "A lot Of the fighters today think they are feintine when they stah forward with q left hand and then draw a lead from the oppos- ing fighter.
 Of course that is q feirt but in stead of stopping in with q right hand the fighter today steps back and out Of harm $ reach.
 That iS not fhe idea of the feint. , It IS not q defensive weapon, It is clearly an offensive stroke,
 When you fclnt and the oppos- ing boxer strikes out with punch Y is your cue to step ln and beat nlm to the punch. Otherwise your foirf in drawing the enemy fire has availe1 you nothing."
 Jim Corbott was the first fighter 10 introduce the foint to the prize ring. Bob Fit1simmons came alonr later and developed an even bettel one. Abe Attoll was master a fGntiug. So was Johnny kilhane who succceIai him as feather weight champion.

FOUR WESTERNERS
 ALL HAVE CHANCE
Chicago However, Has Best
 Claim to Conference Crown
Ky The Associated Press.

] Ky The Associated Press.
 Chicago, Nov. 19. - The unusual spectacle of four western conference. teams going into third final games buoyei by possibilities of at least joint claims for the championship has served to arouse mid-wcstcrn football interest to an unwonted height. Instead of next Saturday Witnessing ordinary season end crowds troopinG 10 Big Ten gridiron because Of the lure of the game it. self there will be the added incen- tive in at least three contests of hope of seeing a king crowned. The Chicago eleven, with the best chance 10 have the titlo, a victory over Wisconsin being the deciding step, is hard at work perfecting its DIunging attack 10 hurI against the Radger forward wall of veterans. The Maroons are not neglecting for ward passing, however, in their drills at Stagg field.
 ! Chicago will lose Gowdy. captain; Harry Thomas, brother of John, who was an AlI-American back; Pondelik, Barnes and Barto after the Wisconsin game. Their greatest desire will be to end their collegiate gridiron careers with Big Ten championship, the first for the Chi Cago team since 1913.
 A capacity crowd will fill Chica- Eo's new municipal stadium, where Northwestern will offer opposition 10 Notre Dame's national champion ship aspirations. With every avail , able seat engaged, only 2,o0Q stand ling room spaces will be offered be- fore the game. The Purple will have q toam keyed 10 high pitch and be moro confident of itself than at any time during the season as a result of the showing made in the !, 3-0 game with Chicago. The Rock inemen may suffer from the effects of last weeks hard tilt with Nebras- ka, but q wealth of reserve material always is available at the South Bend institution.
 Passes may be 1rchigan's best of fensivo against Iowa. The teams will play knowing that a victory for jeither and Chicago loss would mean the championship. Iowa, whose strong forward wall presents q likelihood of difficulty in gaining through if or skirting its Hanks, will present the results of two weeks of practice.
 1 Illinois, not without hopes for the title, despite defeat last week hy Minnesota, will be forced 70 using Fullhack Earl Brittou, usually on the receiving end of the passes of liar . old 'Rod' Grange as guard against Ohio to replace Roy Miller cas- uaj. GraNgo cannot play because Of badly injured shoulder
 Roth Indiana and Purdue will spring special formations in their grudEe tilt at Lafayette, Secret practice at both camps will continue until kick off time.
 When Minnesota, in the lime)ight as tho conQueror Of Illinois, enter tains Vanderbilt at Nashville, Tenn. in the only midwest intorsectTonal fray. it will have one of the strong est teams in the conference to Y.- rade for its southern opponent ! Minnesota reached its great pre- season paper" strength only in the Illinois game after chances for con ference honors had hccn lost while lls regular players were rounding 10 form and the team play which crushed the IGni and Grange vas being developed.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 19.-Ath- leic prowess usually runs in fami- lies. There are the Dunns, for in- stance, Red, one of the best quarter backs and punters ever developed at Marquette Univcrsity-and an All America, by the way--has a young CT brother whose toe gives promise of being as great as the sensational boot of the auburn -haired kicker.
 The youngster, whose name lH Cornelius, is a freshman at Mar qnctte and plays end. He is a biz. strapping fellow. weighs more than Red, and is natural kicker who can shoot the long spirals nearly as far as his brother did in his palmies' days.
 The football experts say that with years practice his kicking will eclipse that of Joc's. A third brother Johnnie, is tearing things up al quarterback on he Marquette hich eleven and looms as future varsity star.

according to campus reports. Eleven men will be there, but a squad Of 46 with 23 injured, many of them wearing crutches and canes, can hardly be expected to present its mightiest front. However, the loyal student will fight with the team and the encouragement born of despair may possibly carry the day.
 On the other hand, the Yale team is prepared for brilliant accomplish ments with promiees that the same team which Princeton found SC powerful will appear in the last de- fense of the bowl. Rumor last week said that Yale had ignored Harvard in its efforts to vanquish Prince ton. This has been accomplished and the Yale players have been practic- ing signals and avoiding the possi- bility of injuries in preparation this week. The Ellis well realize that the Haravrd team they meet on Satur- day will be far different from the one which Princeton defeated so easily, put they believe that Scott, Pond, Allen and Bench. supported by line powerful on attack and defense, will offset any difficulties that may be encountered from the rise in power that Is sure to be liar wards when the first whistle blows.
 Syracuse's calibre is still an un- certainty as a result of its defeat by West Virginia Wesleyan, and Col gate a high-scoring machine against its smaller opponents, may be able 10 attain its big game" power.

FOOTBALL UPSETS OF PRESENT YEAR Each Week Has Some Surpris.
 ing OVerturn
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press,
 New York, Nov. 19.--Football prowess comes in leaps and bounds and knows no favorites according to the 1924 records of several of the nations great elevens. On few occa- sions in history have the upsets been so tremendous and so frequent as in the season now rapidly drawing to a close.
 The first real surprise Of a some- what mystifylng year occurred when Williams came out of the northern hills of Massachusetts to stem the red tornado of Ithaca which had swept all before it for three years. Columbia, spurred by the late Percy 1 Haughton, ovcrcame the conquerors of Cornell, a bolt of foot ball light ming in itself. But the great crash was to come, for Ithaca, the Dobie machine, burst forth again and over- turned Columbia These were the | scores:
 Williams 14: Cornell :. Columbia q: Williams c. Cornell IA; Columbia 0. This story of the defeated rising to conquer the conqueror of the con- queror is found twice in considera- 1 ton of the leading teams of the i middle west. Illinois defeat at the hands Of Minnesota Saturday brought about both situations. The result of the Illinois Minnesota Michigan series was: Illinois go; Michigan fl.
 Minnesota 20: Illinois I. Michigan 13 Minnesota 0,
 The team led by the redoubtahIe Red" Grange also fell behind in the Iowa -Minnosota-Il Illinois competition, the game resulting:
 Iowa 13: Minnesota 0.
 Illinois 36; Iowa 0.
 Minnesota 20: Illinois 0.
 In this history making gidiron warfare, which has marred the records of the greatest elevens, one series has run true 10 form, the teams considered being Yale, Dart ! mouth and Brown. Yale defeated inc Providence Bears, 13 to 3, and the New Hampshire Indians hunted them down and clubbed them 10 10 3, then Yale and Dartmo outh locked in 14 10 14 tie.
 Coming contests afford two chances for the leach team wins a game" trios. Lafayette has beaten Bucknell and Rutgers las downed Lafayette. Bucknell and Rutgers meet this week Princeton has trsmpled on Harvard and Yale has conquered Princeton. Harvard and | Yale met Saturday.

craftsmen that exploitation" OF the

sent of the exploited" and that the

see where a subscription contest or
