|DOLAN LYING, SAYS
 l BARRED 0'CONNELL
Insists ''Cozy" Is Not Telling the Truth

San Francisco, Nov. 6.-"rhey can subpoena me and bring me east to testify, but my story won't be changed, regardless of future de- velopments. You've heard my story before. It seems I've repeated 1t a thousand times in the last few weeks. It's the truth"
 This was what Jimmy o'Connell answered when asked If he would dlvulge anything If summoned east when the suit that Cozy Dolan is filing against Judge Landis Is brought to trial. Asked what he had to say about Dolan's recent protestations of innocence to the press in New York, O'Connell said;
 "Dolan is not telling the truth. I guess they figure am to con- tinue being the goat and here doesn't seem anything much l can do, especially after made a clean breast of the whole thing"
 O'Connell then recounted again the famous incidents leading up to the attempted offer of bribe of $500 to shortstop Heinie Sand of the Philies, not to bear down in what was thought to be a crucial game. But here and there OCon- nell added a detail or two that he had not told Of before.
 T was sitting in the locker room with Cozy, when he said to me, You're close to Heinie Sand. Of- fer him $500 If he won't bear down too hard"
 "Because felt that Dolan repre- sented the Giant club, and was close to McGraw, l acted on his suggestion and made the offer to Sand, not thinking I was doing any great wrong"
 After talking to Dolan, Frank Frisch asked me what the conver- sation had been. When I told him he said go ahead After that, Ross Young asked me about it, and said practically the same thing as Frisch
 When I had seen Sand, and he refused to take part in the plan George Kelly stopped me and asked me what Heinie had said. told him, and he said: We'll beat them
 anyway"
 In one thing, O'Connell is stead. fast. He refuses to accuse Mo Graw. T wouldn't want to accuse McGraw of anything like that" ht said, in speaking of Dolan's pro posed law suit, and the possibilitie! of Dolan's alleged actions being In spired by higher ups.

SOME ATHLETES MEN 0F DESTINY. Ducky Pond of Yale Is Chased
 as One Such
(By Billy Evans

Certain athletes may be classed as men of destiny.
 Last summer when the Washing ton club was in the thick of the pennant fight, the management realized a cleanup hitter was badly needed.
 Casting around for such player. Manager Harris decided to take a chance on Wade Lefler, 6 left handed hitter with fat minor league reputation and previous ma- jor league experience. Lefler was signed too late to be eligible in the world series, and d. though he went to bat only four times during his stay with the club. he did his bit toward winning the American league pennant for Wash- ington.
 In three of his four appearances at the plate, all of them in the pinch, he hit safely, making two doubles and a single. Each hit played a big part in the result of the game.
 It was destiny that enabled Man ager Harris to pick up 50 valuable . man at the eleventh hour. It. was destiny that he should deliver as he did.
 Then there Is the case of "Ducky' Pond, star halfback of Yale's great eleven.
 In baseball and football Pond in- variably arises to the occasion and does something worth while for the Blue, when deeds of valor mean something.
 1 Last fall against Yale 1t was Pond who scored the first touchdown that Yale has made against Harvard since about 1916.
 That touchdown gave Yale a, much coveted victory over the Crimson of Harvard.
 In the recent game between the Army and Yale, once more it was l
 A sensational run by Pond, after several times reversing his field, en- abled Yale to get I to tie
 When Yale is In trouble and Pond is in the game, the supporters of the Blue have faith in him, feel that he will lead old Eli to victory.
 In the recent world serfes, the great Walter Johnson was sure the man of destiny.
 In his first two starts, wit all the world pulling for him to win, John son went down to defeat.
 His first game was worth while It is tough break to strike out F men and then go down to defeat after 12 innings of battling.
 When the seventh and deciding game was played, Johnson appeared out of the running. He had seem- ingly had his big chance and failed.
 Then destiny stepped in and cre- ated the situation that put the win ming of the world series directly up to the man who had previously twice Hailed. 'f.is,, zsd4g
 The world knows he delivered.
 Fate and destiny are sure peculiar critters. You can't dope 'em.

Harvard and Princeton Meet Saturday - Grim son Is FavOrite-Other Teams in East Also Slated to Play But No Important Matches Are Listed.
By The Associated Press,

By The Assn.iated Press.
 New York, Nov. G.--Bill Roper of Princeton and Bob Fisher of Hary- ard are using opposite methods to prepare thclr eleyens for the first of the Big Three football battles be- tween these two rivals at Cambridge Saturday.
 Roper, known as a psychologist is coaXlng his squad into condition with maxims and inspiration aIhcrng 10 his new policy o1 eliminating actual scrimmaging from practice and con- ccntrating upon signal drills and dummy opposition in which his var sity walks through its p.ays 10 avoid injury.
 Fisher daily sentences his squad to hard labor against willing scrubs. He compels his stars to bend their backs, dig their toes in the sod and charge against walls of human flesh.
 Roper will entrust his otfense to . new pony backfield which will en- phasize speed and which is expected to utilize the air game which was not tried. as had been anticipated, against Notre Dame. Fisher will use heavier backs in application of pow CT against the Tiger line in which weight has not been sacrificed as in the backfieId.
 Harvard has been installed as a popular fayorite but Princeton, rely ing upon its proved spirit in other Big Three games, has accepted the condition almost with enthusiasm and despite an unimpressive season, is Towering with the hope and con fidenca which blooms so easily in fertile jungle soil.
 Each coach is faced with the un- usual necessity of experimenting with the quarterback position on the eve of an important game near the end of the season. With Dinsmore shy on condition, Roper is planning to use Ted Williams because of his showing against Swarthmore.
 Dolph Cheek will not be able tc play against the Gigers and Jakt Stafford, all elusive runner, appears to be favored to direct the attaci against Princeton. Cheek is expected to be able to play against Yale bu 1t is said that Fisher has decided to use him at halfback when he re turns to the lineup.
 Other squads are quietly polishing up for their remaining hard games of which few will be played thi Saturday, which seems, by genera consent to have been agreed upol as a soft spot" on the schedule b, the major elevens.
 Other Games,
 Yale will meet Maryland, Brow will take on Haskell, Dartmouth vii ease up with Boston University, Cor nell will play SusQuohanna, Syracus will face Niagara and Georgetown not likely te disturb Pennsylvania position as the only team in the eaf neither defeated nor tied.
 Navy ordinarily would not be seri pusly threatened by Vermont but th Sailors have had such a wretche . season that anything may happeI Army, fresh from moral victor over Yale, will meet Florida whiCl with a<tie game against Georgia Tee might disturb the rlacldity of th Hudson river defenders,

Large Hats Restored to Favor for Summer Wear
BY MARIAN HALE NEA Service Writer.

The large hat has staged real comeback this summer.
 Just make a tour of the smartest roof gardens and you will find the de- butantes and dowagers alike basking under wide brimmed models.
 Nine out of ten are of black milan or leghorn with a bow of velvet or satin ribbon that weighs 1t down on one side and gives the wearer chance to peek out coyly from the other.
 But there are novelties such as the ones photographed. There is the combination of straw and fur that Paris likes very much this summer that is most unusual.
 Or the checkerboard model with the upturned brim that is bound to make the wearer look at least five years younger than she really is.
 For festive occasions such as the wedding or garden party. there is the leghorn picture hat lined with pink taffeta under the brim and ruched and banded with it on the other. And on one side fastened beneath bunch of old fashioned roses are streamers of blue velvet ribbon. This hat is war ranted to bring on the proposals
