FOR AMBERS co

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 G.N.S).
Henry Armstrong, world feather
weight champion and called the
BLACK Terry McGovern," will find
out tonight whether he belongs
among the contenders for Lou
Ambers' world lightweight title.
The little black man from st.
Louis will meet Billy Beauhold at
Madison Square Garden and the
odds say he will win easily. In fact,
he is 8 to S to score a knockout.
Yet, Beauhold-after watching
Armstrong in four fights-begged
for this match and is betting to
the hilt on himself. So is his man
ager and all his friends from
Jersey, and this one is going to be
q shooting match.

Cordozo Wins
Beat Armstrong, so,
To Near Grid Title

In a hard-fought and hard
played game, the Cardozo High
School Clerks nosed out the strong
Armstrong Techmen, 6 to o, at the
Walker Stadium yesterday.
The game was the second Of the
city interhikh school champion
ship series and put the Clerks out
in front with one victory and one
tie. Dunbar held the Clerks to a
tie last week. A victory for Tech
over Dunbar Monday when the
two elevens meet in the final game,
will give Cardozo the title.
The Clerks scored in the second
quarter when Mitchell shot for
ward pass to Miles for eight yards
and the latter then ran is more
to score. Mitchell'S place kick was
wide Of the goal post for the extra
point. Tech threatened late in
the fourth quarter, taking the ball
down to the Cardozo 14-yard line,
only to lose it on downs.

Two battanons of the regiment
of Midshipmen from United States
Naval Academy, along with the
bugle squad will accompany the
Navy football eleven to Princeton
tomorrow for the battle between
the Tiger and the Goat. Navy's
soccer team and members of the
Plebe squad will visit Princeton and
see the varsity team in action for
the first time this year.
Navy has not scored a point on
Princeton since 1881, when the
Blue and Gold won by a score of
is to 0. The game in 1882 resulted
in q scoreless tie.
With the exception of Bob An
trim, Navy'S starting team will be
new, so far as Princeton is con-
cerned. Navy's ace backs, Art
Franks, Lem Cooke, Frank Case
and the other, entered the game
last year as fourth period substi-
tuteS.
There probably is more than
rumor to the story that if Ford
ham goes undefeated this season,
the Maroon will get the Rose Bowl
bid. 1t is definitely known that
Fordham had received a condi-
tional invitation last year, but the
Violent Violets of New York Uni
versity, knocked them out of
Yankee Stadium and right back
to Rose Hill. The Rose Bowl
game is a promotion that has
fired the imagination of football
players, coaches and the public
alike. It is the cap sheaf of a
seasons endeavor. The tremen.
douS forces in publicity and gen.
eral interest that would be un.
leaShed if Fordham is invited to
the Pacific Coast will not be lost
upon those astute Western pro
moters.

Where are the football pools Of
yesterday?
Gone with the wind?
The players" hit last week. and
how! The Layers" got hit, and
how!
There are few cards this week
very few!
One card last week included
these games, in order:
/. Georgetown VS.. New York q.
2. Auburn VS.. l.. S. U.
3. Clemson VS.. Florida.
4. Boston College VS.. Kentucky.
5. w. & L. VS.. William & Mary.
6. Tennessee VS.. Vanderbilt.
The players" shoveled it in on
these six games, apparently fol-
lowing the advice of this observer,
who advised that Georgetown,
L. S. u, Clemson, B. c., w. & L.
and Vandy probably would win.
Most of the players" named the
first four, many named the first
five and quite a few named the
six.
POOL GOES BROKE!
The concentration Of play on
Georgetown, L. S. u, Clemson
and Boston College was tremen-
dous. Result: the pool went broke!
One visitor to Washington-a
man who likes to take fling at
the pools - socked in $10O on
Georgetown, L. s. u, Clemson and
Boston College; $50 on the same
four teams and Washington and
Lee; and, $50 on the five named
and Vanderbilt. These three "hits"
alone delivered a body-blow to
the pool operator.
Here are the games included on
what cards that have come out
this week:
/. Georgetown VS.. Maryland.
2. Arizona VS.. Kansas.
8. Centenary VS.. Texas Tech.
4. Harvard VS.. Yale.
5. Syracuse VS.. Colgate.
6. Indiana VS.. Purdue.
z. Temple VS.. Villanova.
8. Holy Cross VS.. Carnegie.
9. Rice VS.. T. C. U.
10. st. Mary's (TeXas) VS..
Loyola IN. o..
Georgetown Maryland. Here is
one for the book. One vote for
the Hoyas, but with ackuowledg
ment Of great respect and admira
tion for the Terps, especially fol
one Pershing Mondorff, who, re
formed soccer player or not, car
kick 'em. Two gallant bands
friendly enemies, striving for vic
tory in the game that really
counts.
KANSAS TO WIN
Kansas ought to win, although
Arizona will play like the very
devil to take this one.
Those gentlemen of Centenary
appear a bit too strong for Tech
but then you never can tell
Duquesne will vouch for Techs
ability. take Centenary, hop

Harvard-Yale. Most people will
take Yale. I'll take Harvard. Dick

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-It viii
be not only a question of victory OF
defeat in some of the nations out
standing football battles tomor
row, but on the outcome in sew.
eral instances will ride sectional
championships, with the most sig
nificant contest in this respect to
be the one at Palo Alto between
California and Stanford.
If California's Golden Bears win
they take undisputed possession
of the Coast Conference title and
clinch their place in the Rose Bowl
against Alabama, Pitt, Fordham,
or whichever team finally is Sc
lected to represent the stretch OF
America this side of the Rockies
in the New Year Day grand
finale.
If Stanford's rapidly improving
eleven batters its way through the
Bears to a victory, the coast cham
pionShip will be left in a tie be-
tween the two teams and the
Vests Rose Bowl representative
will be as much matter Of doubt
as the East's.
California has taken all comers
In stride, except Washington
which made it a ScoreleSS dead
lock. After a slow start which cost
them two straight defeats by
Santa Clara and oregon and a
later tie with oregon State. STAN
iord's Indians have bounced back.
Last week they showed flashes
Of real power in sWamping Wash
ington State. All they have to do
now is beat California to leave
the Rose Bowl situation thor
oughly muddled.
REAL BATTLE
From a national standpoint the
Indians Golden Bears clash will be
the real battle Of the day, but else
where will be some brisk SkirmiSh-
ing, too, notably in the Big Ten,
where Minnesota, unbeaten in
four conference starts. and Ohio
State, beaten once in five, are the
chief contenderS.
Minnesota is favored, although
Its next foe, closing out the con-
ference schedule, is the tough Wis
consin eleven. Ohio State ought
to do somewhat better than all
right with Michigan.
The Eastern standard bearers
are Pitts Panthers, who have
beaten the best, except Fordham,
which was played to tie, and
still has Penn State and Duke left;
Fordham, which was tied only by
Pitt, and still meets st. Mary'S
and New York University, and
Yale, tied once, with Harvard left
on the schedule.
North Carolina has virtually
sewed up the Southern Conference
crown and closes out it's season
Thanksgiving with Virginia, Duke
being the Tar Heels chief rival,
although beaten last weekend.
Duke plays North Carolina State
Saturday.
WILL SETTLE RACE
The Alabama-Van game
Thanksgiving Day is expected to
settle the southeastern race, al
though Louisiana State could
bounce among the leaders by
knocking off Tulane a week from
next Saturday.
The unbeaten Colorado eleven
can clinch the Rocky Mountain
crown by beating Denver Thanks
giving day, while the Big Six race
won't be definitely settled until
the Inconsistencies State tilt two
week-ends hence, Oklahoma still
being in the running.
Rice with two conference games
to 60 and Baylor with one are the
chief contenders in the Southwest,
where the Rice-Baylor windup bat
tie may settle everything.

British historian remarks, 1T was
the long overdue close of a campaign
which had brought the British armies
to the verge of exhaustion, one in
which had been enacted one of the
most dolorous schemes in British mill
tary history"
1t had been T1aig's optimistic belief
that he could defeat the German arm
les single-handed in Flanders in a
battle that would restore Britain to
supreme prestige in the eyes of the
world. He had launched his offensive
there in June in spite of warnings of
meteorological advisers, who had col
lated weather statistics of 80 years.
that he could not hope for more than
three weeks of good weather.
The offensive was actually doomed
before it began because of it's own
artillery's destruction of the intricate
drainage system with which farmers
had reclaimed this part of Flanders
from marshland through centuries o.
labor.
The attackers were quickly begged
down and exhausted; mud got into the
damned rifles and machine-guns; mud
nullified the effect of the bursting
shells of protecting artillery fire; the
wetness of the ground made the
enemy's increased use of mustard gas
doubly effective
Years later, in his memoirs, wartime
Premier Lloyd-George was to credit
Haig with wasting 100000 British lives
at Passchendaele.

Southport Makes
Reputation About
Its Nickel Coins
Daily Dispatch Bureau,


Raleigh, Nov. 5.-Pennies may come
from heaven, but nickels come from
Southport.
Five-cent pieces rather than dollars
are the backbone of the TRAVELLING bus
mess in the capital of North Caro-
lina's shrimping industry, according
to w. B. Keziah executive secretary
of the Southport Civic Club. And
while these nickels frequently smell
strongly of fish, they are the smell
ing salts Of business in the COM
:nunity.
Thousands of nickels are kept or
hand by the fish and shrimp buying
houses, of which there are eight in
Southport, with which to pay the
shrimp pickers. For in order to eli
inmate bookkeeping and satisfy the
shrimp pickers, who are chiefly Ne
gro women, the fish packers pay the
rickers nickel for every bucket of
shrimp picked and dumped into the
washing watts before they are iced
