Harvard Backs Its Team, However,

 ing Pretlicted-RcCord Crowd to
 Watch Game in stadium.
 Cambridsc, Mass, Nov, 2% lFr - In a wintry setting, the gridiron forces Of Yale and Harvard came out today 10 renew their half-ccn- tury old rivalry in perhaps the most colorful and spectacular contest Of years between the Blue and the Crimson.
 Two sophomore stars, Albic Booth of Yale and Barry Wood of Har- ward, held the spotlight and dom mated most Of the debate in the dope that forecast battle between two great offensive aggregations. Most of the tur-Coated and blanket cd crowd of 5S.U0O here to pack the big stadium to it's limits expected q race for touchdOWns between the Eli running attack. featuring tn" apparently healthy Mr. Booth, and the aerial offensive starring tn" youthful tennis expert. Mr. Wood.
 Yale is Slight Favoritc
 The Blue was a pre- game favOrite, by odds ranging from 10 10 10 to 2 in the wagering. based largely on the expectation that the sopho- more ace Of the Eli backfell would b" able to do his stuff. In the homo town of the Crimson, however, there was no little confidence that N"oj Eliot Putnam. and a rugged Har- ward line would be nor" than a match for the power and speed in the Blu" attack.
 Not in years has there been more speculation or more enthusiasm over a renewal of the ancient Gridrou 1 feud than this game, the 18th be- ] tween these foes since 1S15. Booth Reported Fit 1 Most of the speculation Ccntere( about the ability of Booth to pla, a good share of the game. Th' mighty atom Of the Ellis, kept out o the Princeton game, has been pro nounced as fit by his coaches an, there seemed no reason why he can not bear a full share Of the offense although the experts did not tall' l altogether seriously the announce ment he would start the game. along with a backficld combination Of Ellis Austen and McLennan.
 Unless Yale hoped to get thu | jump and throw it's full force into the fray at the outset, there appear ed no advantage in starting Booth in contrast with the normal strategy of inserting the 145 pound thunder bolt at a later and more advan tagcous moment The main fac seemed 10 be that Albie'S "charle, horse" would not keep him out 0 action.

From a Tabooed Sport
He Made 1t Society

Dollar Purses

NEW YORK. Jan. 7.-Pr-A
dreamer whose dreams came true

spirit Of n gambler, passes on With
the death or George Lewis CTeN)
Richard.
The most dominating a. we'll as
most daring individual promoter in
the history Of professional sports
leaves behind him. III the aEe or 10,
after over p years connection with
boxing, sn unparalleled record Of
achievement and success.
Richard entered boxing when il
was generally taboo, ar outlaw
sport. for the most part, harried by
the law. lie leaves the sport on a
big business scale a hobby On society
and fashion. IN an era Of million
dollar purses for It's heavyweight
principals and W costly. almost lux
u%rious, arenas Tor its setting.
Crowd Thrilled Him
The general public knew Richard
as 2 kcen-cved. kecn-siEhtcd pro-
moter ar cNtravaFnnzas. N lean.
hronzcd figure with cigar and cane.
His business associates knew him
AZ a visionary who also had practi-
cal ideas; boxing managers a. q
shrcwd handler OF situations and
keen analyst Of ~box-office values.
To newspapermen, Richards door,
whether to his old tower quarters In
the original Garden or in the more
luxurious suite of the new Garden,
was always open. To old time boX-
crs and old associates, lei with
their fortunes gone, Tex was a
ready handed friend.
Richard got his biggest thrill out
II the crowd Of around 10000 that
paid 81, 600, 900 to see the first Demp-
sey-Tunney fight in the rain at
Philadelphia.
81 shall never forget that sight"
he said often. "As ! locked back
from the ringside over those thou
sands, tens of thousands, il sends
the chills up and down my back"
Thought Jeffries Best
The chief reason Richard took the
second Dcmpsey-Tunney fight to
Soldier Field, for the greatest of all
heavyweight extravaganzas, was his
desire to attract the biggest crowd
in history. He succeeded and the
mark Of nearly 3 100000 for the
gate" from some $4,000 spectators
may stand indefinitely.
Richards slogan. when he first
undertook 10 promote the game on
n big scale in New York. was "a seat
for eevry customer and every Gus
toner in his own seat" Patrons Of
boxing who used 10 BE- lucky "a get
inside some OF the old arenas, much
less get the seats their tickets called
for. came to realize and appreciate
that at Richards shows they could
depend on getting the space their
pasteboard specified and actually sco
what was going on.
Richard regarded Jim Jcffries as
the greatest or all heavyweight cham
pions but his admiration for Demp-
sey's fighting qualities was greater.
