Pittsburgh. champion OF the Eastern

upset, tonight is the time.
The opening tap-off between Cen
ters Mike Petroskey and Bill Noon is
scheduled for $50 O'Clock, the main
attraction to follow a game between
the freshmen fives of Georgetown and
Maryland.
Holding the same position in the
league as Pittsburgh, Georgetown, like
its guest, dropped its only conference
start of the season to Temple, in
a thrill-packed, extra period game,
which saw the Hoyas nosed out only
after being worn down by rangy,
experienced team.
Hoyas Should Be Wiser.
IF GEORGETOWN could establish
19-point lead against Pitt as it did
against Temple, there is little likeli-
hood of it being blown. Coach Freddy
Mesmer undoubtedly has taught his
boys by now how to hang onto the
ball with less than minute to play,
tactics which would have brought VIC

Hoyas were outplayed for 19 minutes
of the second half.
But Pitt, seeing the leagues No. !

n YEW YORK. January l7.-Cor-
N nell University athletic OFF,
" cialS, seeking to satisfy de-
4 mands for. winning foot ball
teams. have placed the pressing issue
of retaining Coach Gil Dobie in the
hands of the alumni.
A dinner was rendered last night to
James LYMAN. former captain of in
dustry, who has taken over the reins
as director of athletics under Cornells s
new system.
Any sentiment regarding the sad
seer of the big red teams. however,
had to be gathered at the bar and
tables where knots of the men who
studied above Cayuga's waters freely
expressed their views.
Contacts Various Groups.
T YNAH has been in contact with
various groups of alumni in an
attempt to seek out mass opinion to
guide him in his decision on Dobie.
If the scales have shown any balance
one way or the other MS listeners got
no hint of it last night.
Neither Lyman nor the other speak
ers mentioned the name of the COACH
Lyman came closest to it when he said:
so far as I am concerned We shall
have at Cornell in all coaching posi-
tions men of strong character and in
spirational qualities who will build
into the men under them something
that is going to last with them into
the rest of their lives"
In the impromptu groups, however,
many alumni were outspoken in their
opposition to Dobie, while others
blamed his lack of success on poor
foot ball material. Cornell failed to
win game last season.

coach at Lafayette College today
Henry w. Clark, new athletic d.
rector at Lafayette, announced the

plicants for the post. No announce
ment was made of salary terms or the
length of Nevers' contract.
Nevers succeeds Herb McCracken
whose resignation became effective al
the end of the 1885 season after IL.
year coaching regime. He is to take
over the reins at the start of Spring
practice early in March.
No announcement was made. con-
cerning his coaching staff but it il
understood Charley Soleau, one-time
Colgate quarterback, will return as
Freshman pilot.
Rated Highly by Warner.
IN COMING to Pennsylvania, Nevers
follows his gridiron etacher-Pop
Warner-who transferred from STAN
ford to Temple University three years
ago.
In his collegiate days Nevers was
classed by Warner as one of the great
est backs he every coached.

turned to the professional diamond
pitching for the st. Louis Browns and
San Francisco Missions.
He also extended his foot ball career
to the pro game, appearing in Chicago
and Duluth line-ups.

Means About 100000 to Louis.


IF THE 10000 attendance mate
l. rializeS. the gate receipts will crowd
500 900. of which the cold-eyed Negro
will receive 40 per cent. He also will
get a similar cut of the radio and
motion picture receipts. Retzlaff is
down for l7l2 per cent OF the gate.
A crowd of 10000 also would be the
biggest here since 1882 when Jack
Dempsey, hero of boXing's other big
gold rush, and King Levinsky fought
their four-round exhibition in the sta
dium.
To Louis, who has not squandered
more than six rounds on any OF his
last nine foes, the engagement is
just an opportunity to add about s4o,-
600 to the $364,000 he collected last
year. He is confident that nothing
like Is rounds will be required to
send Retzlaff the way of Levinsky,
Primo Carnera, Max Baer and Pauline
UZcudun, his most recent victims.
Well Matched Physically.
Tor Retzlaff, it is chance TO pro-
vide an answer to the question
of what Louis would do under pres
sure. 1t has been so long since any
one got tough with the Bomber that
it has become almost legend that
Louis has first scared. then knocked
all his opponents stiff. RetZlaff in
sists that he will not be whipped be-
fore he starts.
Testimony that the strapping heavy
from the wheat belt has the equip
ment to damage any one he can hit
is found in his record. His destruc-
tive right hand has accounted for 55
knockouts in 68 fights.
Physically, they are well matched.
Louis was expected to weigh at noon
today about POI pounds, his heaviest
for an important battle. Retzlaff,
with advantages in height and reach,
figured to be outweighed by about 5
pounds at 1876.
Joe Not to Loaf.
OUIS would not predict how long
the fight would last other than to
say that he would get it over as
quickly as possible. His trainer,
Jack Blackburn, said it would end
as soon as we can hit him May
be the first, maybe the second, may
be the third. Not any longer than
that"

twenty-seventh consecutive profess
sional triumph, and his twenty third
