GREAT GRID PLAYS
Walter Ecl,crsails ENecutcd Most Brilliant Move in Football in Last 70 Wears

The play that has been rccountcd for twenty years as one of most brilliant and daring strokes in the annals Of intercollegiate football history was conceived and executed by Walter Eckcrsall, quarterback of the 1 905 University of Chicago team.
 The play occurred in the Michi Ean-Chicago game. Chicago had stopped Michigan close 10 the Ma room goal line, and a punt from be- hind the line seemed the only logi- cal play. Chicago was leading 10 |. As Eckersalt, kicking for the Ma rooms, ou'strctchod his arms to re ccive the pass. he observed Garrells, Michigan cpd, shift from his regular position. Eckorslll l).rkcd out new signals. Set presumably 10 kick from n yards hehind his own goal, "Eckie" electrified the spectators and surprised Michigan by dartng around the unguarled end. With his great speed. Eckersall was not brought down until after covering 4o yards. Eckersall then puntcd and the slender lead held by the Maroons was @af'.

ATHLETICS SAID
 ID BE USELESS
Objectionable Features Stressed
 at Wesleyan Meeting

Middlctown. Dec. 4.--Speaking at the opening of the third Intercol- lcgiate Farley on American Col lege Education at Wesleyan last night, Dr. William T. Foster, head of the Pollak Foundation and for mer president of Reed college. at tackled the system of education and athletics in American colleges yes terday.
 He objected strongly to most of the things in college curriculums, particularly the number of required subjects. He said that at Reed he had no required studies but left 1t to the student to choose the courses.
 Intercollegiate football has broken into the million dollar class, he said. and distracts the student from the more important matters of mental and scholastic development. He said he favored the discontinuance of intercollegiate athletics competition in favor of intra- mural sports.
 The delegates, representing twen- weight colleges. were welcomed by Dr. James l.. McConaughey, presi- dent of Wesleyan. at Fayerweather gymnasium. Harry Gram. president of the senior class and chairman of the barley. opened the meeting. About 200 were present.
 Following Dr. Fosters talk sev- and discussed the various phases of the barley.

who will possess such uncanny judg- ment in handling fly balls.
 Those of the old school will insist that Jimmy McAiecr was just as good. if not better. l. was Jimmy McAleer who put me in big league baseball-Gavc me the big start,
 Dnl va few years ago he dropped into my dressing room at the Clevc- land park. Speaker had performed marvclously all afternoon. He had made at least half dozen seeming ly impossible catches. including two Of his copyrighted stunts, head first dives for the ball.
 What liar a fellow would have to be to say l could play the outlicld as well as that guy" was the way Jimmy paid his compliments to Speaker.
 Speaker boasted a far better arm than Cobb. No baserunner ever took many chances on balls hit into his territory. l was suicide for a runner 10 try 10 score from third unless the ball was hit very deep.
 Why, he throws strikes from the outfiold,' is the way Donie Bush, now Pittsburgh manager. once paid tribute 10 Speakers arm after he had been thrown out at the plate.
 Cobb was the better batsman and haserunner, but the margin. except as baserunner, was not so very great Speaker boasts as lifetime average in the neighborhood of $50, which best tells the story Of his bat ting prowess.
 "I never pitched 10 a batter who was harder 10 keep from hitting the ball than Speaker" was a re- mark I heard Christy Mathcwson make at the close of the 1912 world series.
 Striking out Speaker in a pinch was just about the toughest job I eyer essaycd"
 note the passing of speaker from major league bali with dltinct regret.
 Colorful stars make baseball. Speaker WAS on" If ihom The pre#iso of the Am=ric2n league has been written around the background of such great players as Cobb, Speaker, Collins, Johnson and others of that calibor,
 Cobb already has billnn the game goodby; now comes Speakers an- nounccmcnt that he Is through, The status of Collins is a.s yet un- determined and Waiter Johnson hasn't much farther 10 go.
 Outstanding stars make baseball. give 10 an organization d prestige that can be attained in no other way. It is a serious blow 10 the American league to have so many Eupcrla.iye performers pass out al the sam" time

DEkPSEY'S EYES BAD
Champion Says He Would Have Had To Quit If Fight Had Gone Two More Rounds.

Had the Tunney heavy weight fight gone two more rounds, the title would have changed hands by a technical knockout. in the opinion of the beaten champion.
 My two eyes were gone" said Dempsey. "rhe boys used an over dose Of collodion trying to patch up my right eye, and when Tunneys blows landed on the optic I felt as though a ton of brick had fallen on me.
 "Beginning with the tenth. was almost sightless. If the fight had gone two more rounds. the referee would have been compelled to step in and stop 1t, Tunney wouldn't have knocked me out, but the ref cree, realizing that l couldn't have done myself justice with both of my eyes out of commission. would have been forced to halt proceed ings."

GOOD CARD WILL 1 SUPPORT DELANEY
New England Fans to See Jacks
 First Appearance as Champ

Besides witnessing Jack Delaney in his initial bow as a light heavy weight champion, New England fight followers who attend the all- star punch carnival at the state armory in Waterbury on the night of Friday, December 10th, will get their first glimpse of Sammy Vogel. sensational New Yorker, picked by many cauliflower students as ihe next lightweight champion.
 Several weeks ago, Eogel, who is sometimes known as a Second Ben ny Leonard" eliminated one of the most dangerous contenders for Sam- my Mandell's crown when he trounced Billy White of Jersey City. White had previously given Louis Kid" Kaplan one of the toughest fights in the Meridenites career, dropping Kaplan during the melee. Billy Gibson. manager of the heavywheight champion. Gene Tun- ney. has taken kaplan under his wing and vows that he will steer the Kid 10 the lightweight throne within a short time. Nogel seems to be the real obstacle in kaplan's path.
 Vogel will meet Clkey Clarke. fast-rising Holyoke boxer. in one of three eight round preliminaries to the Jack Delaney-Jamaica Kid pionship event at the Water bury armory.
 Tony Canzoneri, promising New York youngster recent conqueror of Andre Routis, will be another star performe on the pogram. He will tangle with Mike Esposito. of Stamford, Connecticut bantam weight titleholder.
 The third eight rounder will wit ness Fred Bretonnel, pleasing French lightweight, against Tony Travers. clever and sharp shooting New Haven lightweight.

 Mickey was travelling fast in the ninth. staggering Flowers with one solid clout, and coming back in an instant to send him sprawling with another hefty slam. The Tiger rolled over and came back to his feet, al most in the same motion. and re- sumed fighting. Both were trading punches at the end of the tenth.
 The decision of Referee Yanger. who was selected just before the title bout, was first greeted by boos. and then by cheers. Twenty bluecoats leapcd into the arena at the end. but there was no disturbance.
 Yanger told the press he gave the fight to Walker because Mickey did all the punching and Flowers did not close his hands, but was ccc-- tent 10 hit with the open glove.

H0PPE TO RETIRE
 FROM COMPETITION
Billiard Star Finds Cloth Slashed
 for Second Time

New York, Dee. P>-Willic Hoppe will retire from three cush . ion billiards tonight, q victim for the second time of table cioth-siash- ing which he claims has been aim ed to handicap him at crucial per iods of his play.
 The veteran balkline star an- nounced that he never again would engage in q three-cushion contest when the green baiZe of table on which he has been. playing a GOO point match against Gus Copulos of Detroit was found to have been so badly cut by an unidentified person that new cloth had to be laid,
 The experience repeated q similar incident in the spring of 1925, when Bob Cannefax cut the cloth of d table on which he was playing Hoppe. CannefaX, claiming that the original covering of the table had become too slow for his shots was for year by the three cushion league after admitting the slashing,
 The two cases were parallel Hoppe pointed out, in that the knife each time made it's visits 70 the tables after he had overcome early leads of his opponents. Hoppe after trailing Copulos since Monday went to the front Thursday. With q new cloth last might for the ninth block of 90 points, however, Copulos rcSained the lead, 500 to 472. They will complete the match tonight.
 While absolving Copuos of blame Hoppe grouped CanncfaX and Copu- los as system blayers," who require an exceptionally fast cloth to make their running English effective He pointed out 1t was only natural that q cloth would become slower after eight blocks had been played
 "I am through with three cushion billiards" Hoppe said Two ex- pericnces such as I have gone through make mo feel should quit the game. will finish my match tonight so as not to disappoint the public. but this is my last match.
 T like tho game and intended 10 enter the worlds throc-cushion tournament next month, but shall stay out of the event and all other three cushion competition"
 Explaining his failure 10 play yell last night, EToppc said he had fcen practicing on n slow cloth. When he found new baizc on the table he said he was thrown off stroke.
