IRELAND has sent to these shores
i many great fighters. Some had
achieved fame before landing in
this country. Others made their
mark here.
Two of the greatest gladiators who
carried the colors of Old Erin to
glory were the Gardiner brothers.
Jimmy and George. Both were of
the school that thrived between 1898
and 1910, and each carried off a
championship. They lived in Lowell,
Mass, when they were in the prime,
but today each is a resident of Illi-
nois and we'll fixed financially.
Jimmy, who was claimant to the
welterweight crown, is in business
in Chicago, and his brother George,
who was the more prominent of the
two, is a realty broker there.
1t was George who was the first
to hold the light heavyweight title
and when he won it by defeating
Jack Root IN IL rounds at Fort
Erie on July 4, 1908, Jack Curley,
the wrestling impressario, was his
manager. Root and George had six
engagements, and each of their bat
ties we're thrillers.
George Gardiner faced the tough
est opponents of his period. In
cluded in the list are Jimmy Han

Moffatt, Joe Walcott, to whom he

years ago Shaggy, as he was known
to Yale students, was an all

the Eli mines. Now he returns to

any great chance for victory over

bility reduces the power of the Maroons

Chicago likely will be unequal to the
task of breaking the Yale defense.
Without Story Chicago must rely on
the speed Of its pony backs, forward
passes and the deception developed by
papa Stages new whirlwind shift to
battle the Ellis. Stagg in his IL years
as coach of the Maroons has devised
and used as many different types Of
shifts as any foot ball leader. He is
credited with being the author of the
pattern from which Notre Danes IA

Special Dispatch to The Star.
A NNAPOLIS, Md, october T.
~ Navys foot ball team practically
~ finished yesterday its prepara-
tions for the game with Wash
! ington and Lee tomorrow, a contest
which coaches and the Navy contingent
in general regard as crucial. 1t is felt
that Navy must win this game de-
cisively or have little hope for finishing
the season with credit.
Three players will start who were no.
in the first lineup against William and
Mary. Lee will call signals from the
quarterback position instead OF Becht,
the veteran Campbell will be at full
back in place Of Erck and Dorn!n has
been substituted for play at right end
Lee and Dornin were on the p,ebe team
last season, as was Burns, right guard.
The placing of Dornin on end is al
most certain to improve the effective
ness OF the passing game. With such
a HEAVIER as Chung Hoon and a nat
ural catcher such as Dornn. pascing
should figure largely in the Navy's at
tack. Also. Clark, who did much OF
the successful passing to Dornin last
year, has been groomed as a possible
alternate to Chung.
Washington and Lee will have a
slightly heavier team than Navy, the
advantage being in the backfeld, which
averages about pounds to the man
heavier.
Two incidents may encourage the
visitors. One was that in the only game
played with Navy, in 1916. w. and l..
won by 10 to 0. The other is that in
1880 Duke. coached by De Hart, the
Generals present mentor, won from
