NEW BIC THREE GRID AGREEMENT Harvard, Princeton to Start Football Work
 September 9

Cambridge, Mass, May 27 - (U. P) Harvard and Princeton will start football practice September g, six days earlier than Yale, it was announced today as the September IS agreement was modified by the "big three.
 Under the new agreement, Har- yard and Princeton will begin prac- tice on the fourth Friday before the first Saturday in October. Over a period of years, Yale loses less than three days season under the new arrangement.
 Presidents James B. Conant of Harvard and Harold w. Woods of Princeton, in separate statement, said in part: Upon the advice of our respective medical authorities as to the time necessary for the proper conditioning of the players to meet the physical hazards of the game, we have chosen period that represents the maximum time here tofore possible under the old agree ment."
 President Charles Seymour of Yale explained Yale's decision not to lengthen the average period of pre- season practice.
 We believe that any extension of the average length of preseason practice is unnecessary and will be regarded as implying undue em- phasis upon football training ;" he said. We believe that football offers important values to under graduate life during the college term but that 1t should not be played in such a way as to demand an in- crease in preparation before the col lege year begins"

NEW HAVEN HORSE
 SHOW ON TONIGHT

New Haven, May 27.-The most colorful sporting event of the year, the Connecticut State Horse Show, opens at the New Haven arena to- night for a three-day stand. With the greatest number of state entries in history, it looks very much as though it will be Connecticut against a fine field of out-of state entries in the battle for the big money prizes.
 Eighteen of the 82 events on the three-day program are restricted to Connecticut entries; but the rest of the events will see the finest horse flesh in the east soaring over bar riers and prancing around the tan bark under the Watchful eyes of the judges.
 Most colorful of over 400 entries are those of the New York state police, the Connecticut National Guard and the habitual show-steal- CT, Little Chief from Albany. N. Y. Little Chief will compete in the jumping classes against horses near ly twice his size Owned by Russell Stewart, this favorite of the fans misses pony ranking by a scant inch.
 The largest field of entries will compete in the jumping classes, with as many as fifteen horses entered in the top money events. included in these events are such famous horses as Mrs. William J. Kennedy's chestnut gelding, Erin's Son; the New York state police departments Irish Melody; Ridgewood farms brown gelding, Light Sail; May Top stables bay gelding, Port Light: and Virginia Hannan's bay gelding, Dip lomat.
 Miss Hannah, who has been a constant winner at recent state shows, will be getting her first test against first rank out-of-State conn- petition.
 The show, presented in conjunc- tion with New Haven's Tercenten- ary celebration, opens tonight at 8 o'clock and will continue on Sat- urday and Sunday, evenings with a a special afternoon session starting at 2 o'clock on Sunday.

ARMSTRONG NOT
 TO BE WEIGHED AGAIN SAYS MGR.
Rule or No Rule, Manager Takes Stand--Sh0wers
 Still On
BY LESLIE AVERY

United Press Stan Corresp0ndent)
 New York. May 26-(UP-The weather jinx dogged Promoter Mike Jacobs again today, threatening a second postponement of the Bar ney Ross Henry Armstrong welter- weight title fight originally sched- uled for last night.
 The official forecast of probable showers was reminiscent of the third Jimmy McLarnin welter title which had to be postponed four times. Other outdoor bouts promoted by Jacobs and interrupted by rain were the Schmeling Louis fight in June, 1886, and the Louis-Farr heavyweight title match which was postponed four days last September.
 Ross, 28-year-old welter cham pion from Chicago, and Armstrong, 25-year-old St. Louis negro, who holds the featherweight title, will report to the New York State Ath- letic commission office aga. at ,;o:c.,,. today for physical check-ups. Whether they will have to weigh iE again was not certain. because the old 4S-hour rule governing posi- ponements was amended January l8 giving the commission chairman power to order another weigh-in for every "A hours bout is de- layed.
 Although Ross, ss boss, is entitled to hit 147 pounds, he fights best around 142 and agreed not to exceed that figure for this fight. On the other hand, Armstrongs reign is over the -26-pounders, but the ath- letic commission forced him to scale at feast 136-one over the light weight limit--for conscience-clearing purposes in skipping the lightweight class.
 Both men filled the conditions of the fight articles by quarter of pound at yesterdays weigh-in. Ross weighed Al 3-4 and Armstrong 136 IA. Armstrong, however. worked six rounds in Stillman's gym, shadow boxing, rope-skipping and bag punch, sweating off better than three pounds after the postpone ment was called.
 Fat Eddie Meade, Armstrong's manager, said that if another weigh ing-in were required, Armstrong could not bake 136 pounds; and if Ross or the commission didn't like it, they could lump it.
 If the 15-round fight does not go on in Madison Square Garden bowl tonight, Meade indicated that he would take Henry back to Doc Bier's camp at Pomuton Lakes, N. J., and resume training. Ross, who ate big meal and went to bed after the weigh-in, will do any extra training he feels necessary at Still mans here.
 It is highly speculative as to when the fight will be held if 1t is rained out tonight. Jacobs told the United Press any other postponement would be on day-to-day basis including Saturday and Monday (Memorial day) nights, but excluding Sunday night.

TODANS ] .SPORTAPARADE. | MAA$iig
By HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, May 27-UP)-The rains came, postponing the Ross Armstrong fight, and so I ducked into Foot Shor's Broadway tavern.
 The sports mob is always in the tavern when the rains come. The roof is thick, the steaks thicker, and Toots makes sunshine with that smile of his.
 l plopped down in a booth next to Joe Jacobs, the genial guy from the Bronx who manages Schmeling
 Give me a story, Joe," I said. T don't think can write another one about Barney and Henry"
 Yes you can," Joe said, you can go out and take back your pre- diction about Ross winning, and pick Armstrong to win in breeze. The black boy'll kill him."
 Yeah" said. Whats come over you? Two days ago you told me you thought Ross would win."
 That was two days ago." Joe said. T changed my mind yester- day. I changed it when I hung around all day with Barneys man. ager, Sam Plan. Jeez, was he Wreck!"
 Then, over a cup of coffee, Joe Jacobs talked. And, in talking, Joe gave me story which, if no good, at least was different. It was the story of a fight manager watching another fight manager, and the conclusions to be drawn from such 8 vigil.
 T was with that Plan for hours," Joe told me, and he's handling a licked fighter You oughta seen him. He couldn't sit still while Mike Jacobs was trying to decide whether to postpone the fight or go on despite the rain. He jumped up and down. He asked Mike a thousand ques- tions. He wiggled his feet, bit his nails, yanked at his hair, and smoked a thousand cigarets. He was shot to hell with nerves"
 Before I could ask Jacobs what all these alarming symptoms point ed to, he continued:
 You know what that sort of bus theses means? Maybe you don't, but do, because I'm a manager. It means he's worried about his guy. Lissen-when managers got boy he knows can go, knows is ready, he doesn't sit around and fret. He doesn't argue or worry about postponements. He just says-and feels-that anytime is all right, be it now, tomorrow, next week, or next month. When you know your boy is okay-when you feel he is cirlch to win-you don't care whether they fight in the rain, under the elevated tracks, on a roof top, or with bare fists. That Plan is Wor- ried about Barney. He ain't bit sure. know. I been worried about guys myself. I know how managers behave. Take my advice, and go out and put chunk on Armstrong"
 How did Armstrong's manager, Eddie Mead, behave?" I asked Joe.
 Just like I do when Schmeling is fighting" Joe said with a smile. "Eddies sure."
 was just about to bet my all on Armstrong when suddenly recalled that on a certain day, several Jears ago, Joe Jacobs told me that Schmeling was cinch to kill one Max Baer.

Good Cadd;es Are
 Scarce, Says Jimmy Thompson
By STUART CAMERON United Press Sports EditOr)

New York, May 27-CUP)-Jimmy Thomson, the long hitting pro from Shawnee on-Delaware, Pa, thinks that one of golf's biggest short- comings is the lack of competent caddies. He favors creation of schools for caddies. Thomson speaks from experience. He tsarted as a caddy in his native Scotland.
 "A good caddy means lot, J Jimmy said. There arc lots of should know. Rules of the game, for one thing. Most caddies today won't know then. And another thing is that they don't know where to stand while their players are mak- ing shots.
 Another thing is that a good caddy. like a good servant, should anticipate wants. He shouldn't, as so many caddies do, try to take ev- cry short cut that comes along, and often finds himself a long way from the tee"
 Jimmy has no patience with the player who rebukes his caddy for under-clbbing or over clubbing. This applies especially to players on the big time.
 If tournament player doesn't know what club to use after being told the distance, he ought to get out of the game" Thomson said. That's all anyone ever should ask caddy, not What do I need to get there?'
 T think that caddying is a most honorable profession and should be regarded as such. It isn't just an incidental occupation for a carpen- ter or stonemason who is unfor- tunate enough to be out of work. My father was a caddy and one of my uncles still caddies in Scotland at St. Andrews"
 British tennis experts are some thing less than enthusiastic over the play to date of Mrs. Helen Wills Moody. This despite the fact that she has lost only one set in winning two minor titles. They point out that even against relatively weak opposition she tired badly in long rallies and that more than ever she has shown herself vulnerable to a short ball.
 Wonder what's the name of the wealthy American" with whom Charley Hare, England's most prom ising tennis player has taken a po- sition as secretary? Denver cad- dies concensus is that 285, one over par, will be the winning total of the U. s. Open to be played there June g, 10, II.
 Best sports picture last week was the>one showing former Olym- pic Champion Georgia Coleman out in the sunshine again after her long illness. Barney Ross will move his residence from Chicago to New York and will go into the clothing business. Why is it that fighters train in the country for fights in the city?. Here Ross and Arm strong have been drilling high up in the hills for a bout which will be held in the Garden Bowl, which is almost actually below sea level.

SportoscO0ps of the T. s. C. Juniors

fellows, let's give the co-advisors lots of cooperation.
 HUSTLE! That is the little word that either makes a winning or losing team. The T. s. c. Jrs. in their last few games have shown hustle and determination that stamps them as winning ball club. The co-adVisors want me to state that hustle shall remain as the outstanding factor ill the plans of the T. $. c. Jrs. Any member or player who think it is too much trouble to hustle out on the ball field should not play at all.
 Here is the weeks orchid: To Joe Delaney for his excellent im- proyement in so short time. Joe is really developing into some ball 1 player This is due to Joe's deter imitation and spunk at practices, and his willingness to learn. Keep , it up, Joe.
 Last week I promised you sur- prise in the form of the personality of the week. Well, here it is.
 This weeks personality is none | other than co-advisor Bill Byrne.
 Bill stands about it. 4. Has. red dish hair and is considered very good looking Are you listening, girls? Bill, together with Co-Ad- visor Dillane, has done wonders with the T. s. c. Jrs. He has very powerful force of delivery. Has had lot to do with the improvement of several members on the team. Bill will do anything in his power if he thinks it will benefit the club. Is tremendously popular with all the fellows. When on the ball field, Bill means business and will take little, if any, back talk from any of the players. He, however, likes to hear opinions expressed, and ideas of how the club can benefit from them. Bill rates Henry Guer- rera as his prize protege Has a tendency to spring surprises on the boys and keeps them on edge al- ways. He was a catcher of note few years back, but now deVotes his time to coaching and handling mat terS of the T. 5. c. Jrs. Bill tells me, however, he could still show some Of the fellows up despite his lay off from the game for some time. He is very ardent sport fan and goes III for every branch of sport. Loves to watch amateur bouts, and says they thrill him more than professional bouts. Bills fla vorite companions are Co-Advisor Dillane and John Brennan.
 Notes from me to you:
 Flash! Mike Ritucci and Richie Nave have been appointed by the co-advisors to coach the younger fellows.
 If Joe Scopino is reading this, he has shown a great improvement in his playing and the co-adyisors hope he continues to do so. Congrats, Joe.
 If what I hear is true. Richie Nave may become a pitcher.
 Will Kramer has been appointed official scorekeeper for the T. s. c. Jrs. for the coming year.
 Until next week, when I hope you'll have better weather, ], on be- half of the T. s. c. Jrs., says au reVOir and keen reading
