LEONARD ID ALSO
 GIVE UP TITLES?
Report Is That He Will Follow
 Dundee

New York, Oct. 2S.-Benny Leonard is about ready to announce his retirement as lightweight. IL IS not improbable that he will fol- low the lead of Johnny Dundee, re- gently retired feather king, and va cate the throne without another de- lending contest.
 Leonard has always been heavy, and Is not getting any lighter. Leonard could have made the weight this summer If a legitimate chal- lenger had been developed. He had gone through long siege of train ing and was on simple diet.
 Leonard had hopes Luis Vicentini, the Chilean, would come through fast enough to qualify for a cham pionship test. Vicentni, hardest hitter among the challengers, had the stuff that filtered away his chances in Broadway cafes.
 One by one the other contenders faded into obscurity until presently none was left with the slightest claim to distinction as lightweight chal- lenger. Leonard then arranged a bout with Mickey Walker for the welterweight title. This did not come off, due to an injured thumb sustained by Leonard.
 This bout will not be held until next summer. It will be an open air attraction with Tex Rickatd doing the promoting. If Leonard wins he will continue in the ring as ~elter- weight champion. Otherwise he will hang lip the mittens for good.
 Leonard promises to be the second lightweight champion to retire un- defeated. Jack McAuliffe, old timer, was the other.
 Leonard's retirement will be due to weight. McAuliffes was due 10 lack of competition. In McAuliffe's day the title was not worth great deal of money. It has been worth nearly $500, 900 to Leonard.

CH|CAGOS BIG CHANCE THIS WEEK X Win Puts Team on Even Stand.
 With Illinois

Chicago, Oct. 2S.--The Western Conference football championship aspirations of Chicago, lileliest dis putant 50 far of Illinois title, hopes, hinge on the game this week with Ohio state. Of almost. equal im- portance as the big ten teams com plete their preparations, is the clash between Minnesota and Iowa, both undefeated but with the games on their records. Es r
 Midwest football interest also fol- lows Notre Dame, leaving today for the east to engage Princeton. The Rockne proteges still bear the marks of the struggle with the army on their first eastern invasion, and. al- though Captain Adam Walsh &C., companies the team. his place at center will be taken by Harmon, vet eran 16S pound quarterback.
 ohio's long passes are the chief worry of Coach Stagg of Chicago. The Maroon line is intact and is con- sidered capable of holding the Buck eyes, but the veteran mentor is not satisfied with the general defensive tactics of the squad. Meanwhile at the Ohio camp, offensive plays are being concentrated upon.
 Coach Bill Spaulding of Mime sota. is experimenting with varied line. ups, while Iowa is rounding out a week of strenuous scrmmages in secret. The victor of Saturdays contest at Iowa City will be en- titled to championship considera- ton in the event no team goes through the conference season un- scathed. ..,
 Wisconsin. undefeated but tied by Minnesota, hopes 10 advance its standing in the weekend melee with Michigan at Ann Arbor and is giving special attention to defenses cal- culated to halt the feared Herb Steger. At the Wolverine camp, be- cause of Rockwell's condition. Steg- CT appears likely to play quarter in- stead of half.

PRINCETON RELYING
 ON EWING'S KICKING
Substitute Back Who Won Last Weeks Game May Be Used
 Against Nittsny Lions

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 23.-The talented toe of Sammy Ewing. sub stitute Princeton back, which last Saturday turned what appeared to be 14-14 tie with the Navy into a 17-14 Tiger victory. is being thor oughly trained by Coach Bill" Rop- CT for steadiness and accuracy so that if the chance comes he may perform similar service against Notre Dame.
 Roper frankly admits it is his pur- pose to score as many times as pos sible. If he finds the westcrners' line the stoncwall defense it is re- puted to he, then, as last Saturday, Ewing will forfeit his bench seat and endeavor 10 place the pigskin between the uprights every time the Tigers get sufficiently close 10 Notre Damc's goal.
 The Tigers. in today's scrimmage session. demonstrated that have lost much Of their cratic playing that has marred their record in the last two games. Both against LehiEh and the Naval academy elevons, rumbes at critical moments gave the opponents distinct advantages that Princeton found extremely difficult to overcome.

 For the first time in three weeks Saturdays game will see the Prince ton team in it's greatest strength. During the first period of the Le- high game. Captain Buzz" Stout was forced 10 retire with injuries that have kept him out Of action until this week.

RICHARD NAMES SIX
 LIKELY CANDIDATES
Suggests Those Who He Thinks Would Have Chance For
 Dundee's Title

New York, Oct. 23.-Tex Rickard, boxing promoter, has suggested to the state boxing commission the names of six featherweishts and five lightwcights, who. in his opin- ion, would be eligible to participate in tourhaments to produce a feath- erweight champion to succeed the title vacated by Johnny Dundee and a lightweight challenger for Cham pion Benny Leonard.
 The featherweights are Louis "Kid" Kaplan of Meriden, Conn.,: Danny Kramer of Philadelphia; Kid Roy of Canada; Lew Hurley of Harlem; Lew Paluso, Salt Lake City. and Mike Dundee of Rock Island, III.
 The five lightweights are Jack Bernstein of Yonkers; Sid Ferris of New York; Luis Vicentini of Chile: Sid Barbarian of Detroit and Sammy Mandell of Rockford, III. Rickara was unable to select a sixth light weight but suggested a choice from George tK. O. Chaney of Salti- more; Tommy O'Brien of Milwau- kee; Archie Walker of Brooklyn and Sammy Vogel of New York.

Oct. 29.- West Virginia athletic authorities are considering shifting the site for the annual football game with Wash ington and Lee, scheduled for No- vember 15 at Charleston, 10 some other West Virginia city because of disagreement over the financial arrangement for staging the battle at the Charleston stadium.

Stop Grange.
 | That is the slogan of every foot ball coach that has the University of Illinois as an opponent.
 ~ Last fall Grange made his debut unheralded. He was easily the sem sation of >the country. His great work won him a place on every AL American eleven.
 This year the name of Grange is byword in the camp of every IT, linois rival. Grange must be stop ped if Zuppke's team is to be beat en is the theory.
 Coach Zuppke, one of the shrewd- est football strategists in the coun- try, is well aware of the campaign against Grange.
 Michigan Defense Fais
 fin the first big test of the year, the Michigan game, Grange made 1t apparent that it is going to be a tough job to stop him.
 No doubt Coaches Yost and Little of Michigan have decided that it can't be done, unless rival teams resort to the lariat, a machine gun or a pugiistic kayo,
 Grange made five touchdowns against Michigan and threw for ward pass that made possible the other Illinois score.
 Tn all the Illinois star gained over 4OO yards more than was gained by all of Michigan's opponents com bined last season.
 Last year Grange ran wide al all times. Michgan's defense had been built against such methods.
 Coach Zuppke of Illinois upset the well-laid plans by having Grange cut in and match his speed and dodg- ing ability against a broken field.
 Develops Other Stars
 With this thought in mind ZuHpke has developed several other brilliant tall-carriers. While the rival elev- ems are concentrating on Grange, Zuppke is hopeful that some other backfeld man will get away.
 In the opening game Of the sea- son with Nebraska, Zuppke uncov- cred the fact that he intends shift ing Oranges style of play this year.
 Last year Grange did little or no passing. He was invariably on the

 Pancho Villas departure fc his native land, the Philippine Ishds, to rest after strenuous camliro in which his crown was placet i, jeopardy several times, means tat the nyweight division viii remain somewhat inactive until he returns for the 1925 outdoor season.
 Abe Goldsteir's bahtamveight and Kid sullivan's junior Lightweight titles, both of which have been de- fen1ed recently, remain the market but they have few formidable rivals in sight.

 Several rtatchcs of non champion ship calibre are brewing to narrow down the iidd of championship con- tenders but taken as a whole the boxing situation for the coming in- door season ioes not measure up to the standard pf activity for the past three or fouryears in which many champions haze come and gone and new faces hae appeared in the limelight of .nlgilistic accomplish nent.
