we are about to conduct in the town Of New York. For 'some years it has been generally concluded, some think proved, that eastern football was definitely gentler than that which was played in the more naive subdivisions of the country.
 Last fall, however, the eastern teams leveled their outland oppo- nents in two-thirds of the inter- sectional games. The last touch was applied when Pittsburgh mur- dered great and good Washington in the Rose Bowl. You will remem- Der that Dr. Jock Sutherland lad to apply heavy reverse English to keep the Partners from adding to an already lop-sided score. After his boys had made 20 points, he weak ened the team by substituting third stringers in strategic positions.
 "The general superiority of the east last fall bred the idea that a selected group of eastern players might be able to take down the hair of the professionals, something which none of Mir. Arch Wards Chicago encourages has yet been able to do.
 Consequently we went out and engaged Yale's Larry Kelley, Army's Monkey Meyer and excellent sup- porting cast. recruited alike from ivy and poison ivy colleges. The group. comprising 31 men now Is in training down in Jersey under Col- gates Andy Derr. It vii lbe turned loose on the New York professional Giants under Polo Grounds flood lights the night of September 8.
 eff the Giants, who are largely recruited from the south. southwest and middle west can hang 1t on the combined academic power of the true east the chauvins of this sec- ton will be, at least temporarily. silenced, if not vice versa.
 T hate to confess it, pal, but the prospective game is proving the provinciality of New York. A year ago we brought Arch Wards All- Americans to play the Giants. The customers, while giving the thing fair play, were very much more apathetic about buying tickets than they are this year. The boys and girls seem to want to see tAe players they have always cen. afal to hell with the Tinsleys, Widestha. Drakes and Baughs.
 Both college and professional factions appear to be well whipped up over the situation, so may sug. gest that you bring your digitalis and pulmotor to the Polo Grounds on September 8 (8:30 F. D. ID.

 Rufus Stanley, the old Amherst tackle, forgot to mention that the game between the eastern stars and the hired hands will be for the bene- fit of one of the swellest charities in the big town - the Herald- Tribune fresh air fund.

TOMMY HARRIS ODD STYLE MAY
 BATTLE LOUIS
UnOrthodOx Ability Is Aid to WeIshnlall
 man Talks
RY HENRY McLEMoRE

Limited Press Stan Correspondent) { New York, Aug. 23-- (U.P.l - For the first time in the memory of the oldest old-tirmer a challenger for the worlds heavyweight boxing championship is being given a chance of victory because of his ig- norance of matters that pertain to the manly art of self defense.
 Tommy Farr of Wales is the chal- lenger, and the only reason he is seen as a menace to Joe Louis championship on Thursday night in Yankee Stadium is that he is so awkward, so clumsy, so gauche. If Tommy were little better boxer, a little more orthodox in his delivery of punches, Louis would be held at much shorter odds than he Is to- day.
 Many critics are inclined to be- lieve that Farr's only hope of lift ing the royal purple off Joe's seal- brown shoulders lies in his peculiar style of boxing, which, to be truth full about 1t, breaks all tn eaccepted rules.
 Queer Stuff
 Starting from the ground up, and continuing to the top of his head, the Welshman does nothing along accepted lines. His footwork is as abandoned as that of a darky lodging through watermelon patch. Not even Farr knows what he Is going to do next ith those No. 13 boaties of his. He throws his punches just as wierdly. He may start his left high one time, and low the next. The same goes for his right.
 One moment he fights from a stand-up pose, remindful of those old early sporting prints. A round later he is just as likely to employ a Dempsey weave and a Greb shuf- fie. He is as uncertain as shamke on hot rock or a henna -haired gal.
 It is this instability that may up-. set Louis, because Joe is pretty much of a mechanical man. He is a human sponge that has absorbed all that canny Jack Blackburn ever taught him. He fights under strict orders. He has to, because it has been proven that Louis, when thrown out on his own, Is likely tc stage a one-man panic. Smacked with a solid punch. a damaging punch, and he begins to disinteg- rate. He forgets his letter of in- structions.
 Head Worker Too
 There is possibility that Farr's bizarre ring tactics may upset him nightly. Will Joe know what to do with man who fights all sorts of ways, and who employs head, el- bows, and knees in his work: Speaking of the head Farr Is a cutey with his noggin. have watch ed him intwo workouts, and his up- percut with the skull is a delightful bit of business.
 talked with one of his sparring mates, Abe Feldman, and Abe, no slouch of workman himself, said he never had boxed with a fellow who was so baffling.
 T thought I had fought guys with all the styles known to man." Abe said, but this Limey has pulled a few new ones on me.
 '"There is no such thing as fixin' him up. Just when you think you have him figured out he starts something that is new and original. He looks lousy from the ringside but when you get in there with him he is tough as hell. He'll give Louis a full evening or miss my guess"
