|NNEW YORK BOW
Davis, Conqueror of Stars,
Faces Scarpati in Small
"Neighborhood" Club.
BY JOHN ]. ROMANO.

"a VIEW YORK, October 20.-Jackie
nj Davis makes his local debut in
v a six-round fight against Tony
Scarpati at the Ridgewood
Grove Club this evening. This is quite
a come-down for a fighter who has
five fights against Champion Barney
Ross in his record and victories over
Sammy Mandell, Cocoa Kid, Young
Geno and others to his credit.
Jackie's last fight was a whirlwind
affair against Tommy Romano, ace
Of Barney Ross sparring partners for
the two McLarnin matches. In which
he came from behind in the closing
rounds and scored a knockdown in the
final heat.
The Ridgewood Grove is a small
club, known for staging neighborhood
quarrels, with a steady attendance Of
dyed-in-the-wool fight fans. 1t has
been called the incubator Of great
fighters" The boys who got their
start at that club and made good have
been promoted to star attractions in
Madison Square Garden. That is why
Davis willingly agreed to start there in
a six-rounder.
Searpati is not set-up for the best
welterweight in the world HIS is
rugged, willing fighter. who keeps a
man busy all the time he is facing
him. He is the type who plugs away
at the smaller clubs.
If Davis beats Scarpati. and he fig
ures to do that by a convincing
margin. it will mean a chance at the
St. Nicholas Palace, which is but
short step from Madison Square Gar
den. After that Jackie hopes to get
in line for a crack at the junior
welterweight title now held by Barney
Ross.

Frosh Are Not Strong.

IN THE present freshman eleven,
not a lineman is in prospect.
The first year team, in fact, Of
fers few if any prospects of whatever
sort in the way of material. A line
on the team may be gathered from
the fact that Exeter beat the Eli Cubs,
1910, and that Harvard's f1rst-year
outfit held Exeter to 90 tie.
1t is a forlorn impression you get
at Yale. The team is being well
coached; everything possible is being
made of the material. The trouble is
the right sort of material is not at
New Haven. Why? Scholastic rig1dity
they say. Foot ball players who have
passed entrance exams-l6 points are
reouired-are refused, it is said. be-
cause their marks in passing have not
been sufficiently high.
It is a sad, sad story and who can
say what the end will be? House
foot ball, perhaps?

JACKSON FAVORED
TO Outlook FALC0
Coast Lightweight Champ
Rated Better Than Ross,
World Title Holder.
BY JOHN ]. ROMANO.

N YEW YORK, October 20-Young
M Peter Jackson makes the long
V trek from the Pacific Coast to
show his wares in Madison
Square Garden against Tony Falco
November 2.
Jackson is the lightweight cham
pion of the Pacific Coast, without any
question of doubt. The dusky war
rior not only f1ays boys Of his own
weight, but steps out of his class and
acts with the same finesse and deft-
ness.
His knockouts Of Ceferino Garcia,
the hard-hitting Filipino, who was
being groomed for a crack at the well
terweight crown, leads many experts
to believe Jackson would have little
trouble disposing of Champion Barney
Ross.
This opinion also is based on the
showing Bobby Pacho made against
Ross earlier in the year. Jackson
stopped Pacho in 10 rounds.
Ross Colorful Handler.
VXIIRT ROSS, manager of Jack
w son, is one of the most colorful
handlers in the game. A big.
bluff fellow, with a penchant for loud
clothes and large diamonds, he re-
minds you of the old-time gamblers.
And Mr.. Ross, or Big Shot, as he is
known on the Coast, will take flyer
on his fighter.
Ross had some sort Of Official con-
nection with the Panama government
some years ago. He promoted fights
on and of in his spare time. Just
before returning to the States he
chanced upon a dusky little chap
with fair ability as a fighter.
Writ promptly dubbed the dusky
one a San Bias Indian, Strengthened
out his krinkly hair and sent him
into the ring as Santiago Gorilla.
Jackson is better fighter by the
proverbial mile

Falco Tough Customer.

JACKSON is meeting a tough Gus
toner in Falco. Ross had no
w. choice in picking this opponent,
because, as Jimmy Johnston said, "if
Jackson is as good as he is rated,
he must fight the tough ones in order
to get anywhere with his claim for a
fight with Barney Ross"
Falco will outweigh Jackson sew
eral pounds. Despite this handicap
the colored warrior should not have

Only 2S in Varsity Squad.

v YET it is entirely likely that an
alumnus-his memories keenly
alive to a glorious athletic past
in which perchance he participated
would feel no exhilaration if he stood
on the side line at Yale's practice field
today and watched the team of his
alma mater preparing for Brown to-
morrow and for powerful opponents
lying beyond. Quite the contrary.
Following "Ducky" Pond, Earl Neale
and other assistants as they worked
with a varsity squad of a size which a
minor college coach would deem made
quate, he would have to leave the field
and contact with the material gran
deur of his university, would have to
contemplate the multiform activities
of it's scholastic life before he would
be able to say this indeed is Yale"
In all her history, even in times
when foot ball has rested static in
the doldrums of inefficiency-some-
thing which occurs in cycles at all
colleges-Yale's gridiron affairs have
never seen the low estate which marks
them today.
At this writing, the Blue squad. or
squad interchangeable terms at Yale,
meaning the varsity regulars and sub
stitutes-consist of % players. In
juries are in some part responsible for
this condition. but in larger measure
it Is due to the fact that foot ball
players of ability are few at Yale.
Weak in Center of Line.
THERE is not a single center on
this squad. They are trying to
make over GroSSoup. a guard,
into a pivot man. OF the guards,
Webb Davis, one Of the two regulars,
weighs 165 pounds. Opponents do not
bother much about him. They simply
push him out of the way. Champion,
the other guard. is good man, 100
pounds. But that is all there is.
Just now they are trying to make
Watson, a 170-pound back, into a
guard and also Herold, ITO pounds,
sub end In the backfleld there is not
a man who can back up the line.
Schultz, a senior, who never played
varsity ball until this year, has been
trying to do the job, but he simply
cannot do it because of lack of weight.
He weighs 153 pounds.
So Kim Whitehead, running back
who should be saved for ball carrying,
is being used as acker-up-because
he weighs 180 pounds. No other
reason.

CoIonials Outgain Tulsa.

ENNIS, 185-pounder, Berry, 154
and Kahl, 146, toiled like beav-

little avail. The Hurricane gained only
81 yards from scrimmage against los
for G. w. That Buff and Blue yard
age would have been doubled perhaps
but for Rudy Prochaska. co-captain
and center, who made enough tackles
to distinguish three ordinary players.
He was as conspicuous as the sizzling,
booming fireworks set of before the
halves.
Only one noticeable error was made
by Colonia1s, but this was not charged
to the team. The G. w. rooters were
so elated over the triumph they tore
up the goal posts. That is supposed
to be done, y'know, only by the CO.
horts Of an invading victor. The bars
at Grifith Stadium are made Of iron
and couple of heads in the mob musta
been composed Of the same material.
Anyway, q couple of domes were
banged without serious effect when
q section of post fell on them.
The crowd numbered about 10000.
Leemans' ground-gaining average, 8
yards to a gallop up to last night.
was whacked severely when he picked
up only 48 in 28 carries. But at that.
he was the leading ball toter OF the
game, not much Of distinction In
view Of the brilliant play of both lines.
