Head LINERS IN
COMING FIGHT
ARE SIZED UP

Interest in the fight card that will
be staged at the service club at Camp
Jones tomorrow night is rising high.
A glance over the record of the main
eventers would create interest even in
a pacifist.
Whirl Wind Jett meets Battling
Hicks for the main event Hicks is
heralded as one of the coming fight
ers of the century. He has a K. O..
record that is hard to beat and has
fought his way all over this country
from Chicago west and south. He
will fight anything that gets in a ring
with him, his hackers say, and as far
as he is concerned the fans will see
something for their money at the serv-
ice club.
Jett is not going into the ring to get
a sleeping powder. He thinks he can
stay with Hicks and some of the stuff
he put out last week in the training
camp makes it look like he is right.
The man is fast. He has heavy
glove on either hand and can set them
down where he wants there. He put
up a good scrimmage some time back
when he crawled through the ropes
against Lefty Williams of the Sun

CHICAGO HORSE
SHOW PRESENTS
SELECT ENTRIES

CHICAGO, Nov. %, P)-With tails
set higher and straighter than ever
before, despite all efforts of the anti
cruelty to animals society to the con-
trary, the blueblooded aristocrats of
the equine world opened Chicago's
third annual horse show at the Chi
cago Riding club tonight.
The conflict over use of tail sets
was settled in triumph for exhibitors
of the horses after three Chicago
veterinarians went into a huddle
over the question and finally agreed
that use of tail sets caused no pain.
Opposition to the use of the tail
sets was led by the former Irene
Castle, now Mrs Frederick McLaugh-
lin, who asserted the sets were pain
full to the horses he controversy for
a time threatened to disrupt the
entire plans for the horse show, un-
til the committee of veterinarians
explained that tail sets, after once
used, caused the horses no pain,
drawing a comparison to a man with
tight belt.
With the dispute settled, there was
nothing else to mar the grandeur
of the shows opening with $1,OO0,-
600 worth of the country's select
horses taking part. The entry list,
though smaller than last year, was
even more select, champion mounts
from throughout the United States
and Canada competing for the var
led list of prizes.
Twenty hunters of the heavy and
middle-weight type galloped into the
tan-bark arena to be judged in the
opening contest amid blare of
trumpets and before a glittering
array of Chicago's plain and fash
ionable horse lovers

TROJANS MAKE
READY FOR BIG
SECTIONAL TILT

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2 B-The
spirit that was momentarily quenched
by the loss of their dynamic quarter
back. Don Williams, burned with ever
increasing fire tonight in the hearts
of the University of Southern Cali
fornia football Trojans realizing that
they must fight the harder in the
absence of their injured teammate
in the crucial test next Saturday
with Notre Dame at Chicago.
With thoughts of their curley.
haired, flashy ground gamer in the
hospital suffering from a badly m
jured back; and seeing the Notre
Dame shift working in the scrubs
backfield opposite them, the Trojans
fought in an inspired manner in
their practice today. Only one more
practice session remains before they
leave for the intersectional battle
ground tomorrow night.
! Coach Howard Jones, with his
thoughts strained upon using every
previous moment before the departure,
worked the Trojans long after dark
with the ghost ball. Passes, quarter
back sneaks and end runs were hurled
against them until the whole squad
was about ready to drop from ex-
haustion. Jones. who seldom praises
iris footballers, closed the strenuous
workout with sYou're bunch OF
| fighters and you'll show Notre Dame
some football Saturday. Go home
and go to bed"
The loss of Williams or the eve
of the great intersectionaT battle is
considered by experts as a. severe
blow to the Trojan aggregation
Many considered him the punch" of
4 the backfield. He was marvellous
1but contrasting running mate for
Captain Morley Drury. the juggernaut
quarterback of the Trojan backfield.
Where Drury employed sheer bulk
and power to gain his yardage, Will
liams used speed and deception. No
| line yet has been able to stop the
''ace in the hole" offensive combina-
ton of Williams at quarter and
Drury at the fullback post.
Jones had depended upon Williams
+ to repeat his brilliant play of last
years Notre Dame game. He carried
/ the ball 13 times in succession for a
total of 10 yards and second Trojan
touchdown.
The return to scrimmage of Harry
Edelson, sophomore fullback, who
tore CALIFORNIA; line to shredS, made
up in part today for the loss of
Williams. Edelson's injured knee has
been pronounced entirely fit for heavy
work. HowarG Elliott, senior who
has had little chance to use his bril-
liant open field running because of
the fine work of Drury and Williams
at the quarterback position, will get
a chance to close his football career
ine blaze of glory in the Notre
Dame game, Jones saying that he will
be the man to go in for Drury
Saturday late in the first half to
save the big Trojan leader for the
last half
Thirty-three men were named TODAY
by Jones and approved by the faculty

OLYMPIC ATHLETES BARRED FROM
PAY FOR time LOST AT GAMES

sCINCINNATI, Ohioy Nov. % lP)-
Any proposal to pay athletes for their
time lost in Olympic competition is
dangerous" and contrary to all con-
cepts of American craftsmanship and
amateurisrn, the Amateur Athletic
union decided today in going on record
as vigorously opposed to the broken
time" provision adopted by the Inter
national Football association in con-
nection with the 1923 Olympics.
The broken time" rule, under which
players on soccer football teams en-
tering the next Olympics may be re-
imbursed for the time taken from
their work, has received the endorse
ment of the international Olympic
committee, but American authorities
through Major General Douglas Nc
Arthur, president of the American
Olympic committee, have served notice
they will not accept it.
The A. A. u endorsed this protest
today. It is the understanding that
the United States Football association
also opposes such a ruling and will
not accept it as operating in sending
an American soccer team to Amster-
dam next year.
Besides settling other affairs con-
nected with it's part in organizing the
American Olympic program, the A. A.
+ U. in the closing session of its con-
vention today, reelected Murray HUI

BREAK DECIDED GAME

One big break decided the Yale
Princeton game, a long forward pass
that succeeded and resulted in a
touchdown.
Yale deserved that break because
she made it by taking a desperate
yet logical chance. On a fourth
down, with IL yards to- go and the
ball in the middle of the. field, Hoben
tossed a 30-yard pass to FishWick,
who raced 20 yards for the touchdown
that tied the game.
I have since wondered if luck played
a bigger part than strategy I am
inclined to think that Yale had saved
this play for the pinch.
Throughout the game up to the
final period, Left End Scott had been
the recipient of most of the Yale
passes. However, just before the play
that killed off Princeton, Fishwick
had figured in a 17-yard gain.
At the start of the fatal pass, the
Princeton secondary seemed to be cen
tering its attention on Scott. In the
meantime, FisI1Wick drifted over from
position at right end to almost the
sidelines on the opposite side of the
field, to take Hoben's pass unmolested
and run for a touchdown.
That play decided the old foot
ball game. 1t gave Yale new
courage and although Princeton
fought on to the very end, the
HOben to Fishwick PASS didn't
help the spirit of the Tigers.

BEST TEAMS OF YEAR


One of the greatest battles ever
staged between Princeton and Yale.
That is the proper classification of
the 1927 clash between these tradi-
tional rivals
Yale won glorious victory in the
final minutes of play. The final score
was 14-6 and it fails dismally to tell
the story of the tense struggle for
supremacy waged between Old Eli
and the Tiger.
One must go to the superlatives in
an effort to do justice to the game
and the teams. I have seen at least
Is meetings between Princeton and
Yale but never got quite the thrill
out of any of them as the 1927 meet

nary game" best tells the story They
struck me as being just the two best

they were as much better than
Princeton as the score would lead
one to believe.
m * NE
TIGERS BEST AT FIRST
For SO minutes of the game, Prince
ton outplayed Yale The margin was
slight, perhaps just about what the
score showed, 60
In the final To- minutes of the
game Yale had the edge. One des-
perate play changed the entire COM
plexion of the game, started Yale to
victory and Princeton to defeat.
The Princeton game was a
battle of two great lines. Yale was
conceded to have the stronger line by
all the experts, yet for SO minutes
the Tiger forwards made jest of ex-
pert opinion.
Twice Yale was within the 10-yard
line with four downs to put over the
touchdown. Yet, on each occasion
Princeton rose to great heights and
held for downs.
The one chance Princeton had to
score was seized by the Tigers in a
determined manner and, in the pinch,
Coach Bill Roper's team had enough
strength and deception to its play to
score it's only touchdown.
Yale, when it was within scoring
distance, insisted on hitting the
center of the line and failed.
Princeton employed deception and
