Yale counts upon its sensational line to hold off Princeton’s attacks, while ths Yale backfield, minus the great Caldwell, but stung to aggressiveness by the loss, endeavors to pass, buck and run its way to victory. Johnny Garvey, who made two touchdowns against Dartmouth, was designated to start in Caldwell's place, with the remainder of the line-up as it has been since early in the season. Hammersley, however, was held in re- serve as halfback. The Princeton line-up, likewise, had only one change. ¥rench, who has been practicing at guard in place of Joe Caldwell all week, was announced asa starter. Caldwell Busy Coaching. Bruce.

NEW YORK, November 12.— Army's advance on the Notre Dame band of fighters today interested more persons than a foot ball game in New York ever did before. The 76,000 seats in the Yankee Stadium were snapped up days ago. From an annual duel which first the classic has grown into one of al- most unrivaled interest. There was the allotment to the two institutions was gobbled up. On the basis of Army's defeat by Yale earlier in the season hy 10 to 6, Notre Dame was a slight favorite. But Cadet sympathizers pointed to Notre Dame's 7-to-7 tie with Minnesota a week ago to offset to some extent the Cadet’s lone setback. Army has an imposing set of vet- srans, including Harbold, Hammack, Seeman, Born, Sprague, Hall and Perry, all of whom opposed Notre Dame last year. Then there is Harry Wilson, who has been bucking the line for eight years, and Cagle, one of the leading backs in the game. Flanagan on Deck Again. Flanagan, the Texas youth who reg- istered the only touchdown against Army last season, came with the illustrious Rockne aggregation again. Niemic, Riley and Collins were other fleet backs for the West Pointers to watch. Rockne's eleven has opposed the Army on 13 previous occasions, with a result of nine victories for Notre Dame, three defeats and one tie. Last year Notre Dame triumphed by 7 to 0. In the current campaign there have been five victories for each, one tie for Notre Dame and ore defeat for the Army.

Blick's card for Monday night'#fight activities at the 104th Regiment Armory in Baltimore offers the fans two main events, one in the heavyweight class between Marty Gallagher and Joe Lohman, and. one in the bantam class between Eddie Buell and Joe Belmont of Baltimore. The bout between Lohman and Washington's fighting Irish boy is scheduled to go 10 rounds. _This fight brings the “pride of Fozgy Bottom” up against the most experi- enced fighter he has ever swapped punches with, and undoubtedly will show of what stuff the youngster is made, for Lohman of Tol:do has bat- tled five champions, including Tiger Flowers, Gene Tunney, the late Harry Greb, Tommy Loughran and Jack Delaney, and this ring master knows all the ropes and is capable of teach- ing Marty many tricks. \ On the other hand, Marty has what Lohman_has never exhibited—a k.o. punch.

November 12 UP).—Bill Agee of Baitimore was the winner vesterday of the national Junior cross-country championship of Ban on Caldwell Precipitated By Reporter’s Feature Story "Br the Associated Press. PROVIDENCE, R. I., Nov ~—1In a newspaper reporter’ & Rhode Island village boy’s success as a Yale foot ball star lies the *‘mys- fery” behind the disclosure of Bruce Caldwell's gridiorn career at Brown University four vears ago that bobbed up this week to bar him from all future foot ball play at Yale. Caldwell's right_to play on the Yale team under the Yale-Harvard-Prince- ton agreement prohibiting any parti- «cipation in big three contests Ly men who have played at other colleges was questioned last Tuesday, when a reporter of the Providence Bulletin met out to prepare a story of Cald- well’s record on the gridiron. ‘Whether the fact that Caldwell had played foot ball as a Brown fresh- man was widely known or not, it was no secret to many and the Providence Bulletin published a story in connec- tion with the Yale-Brown game on October 15, in which It was said Yale would send Caldwell into the game “to battle his former teammates.” Yale won 19 to 0 and Caldwell made 12 points—two touchdowns. Later, MARINE TEAM ROMPS OVER WAKE FOREST RICHMOND, Va., November 12.— Quantico Marines held to their win- ning stride in a foot ball game here yesterday, toppling the Wake Forest team, 39 to 10. Starting a team composed largely of substitutes, the Marines, neverthe- less, unleashed a powerful attack that brought a_20-to-3 lead in the opening quarter. In the second quarter Wake Forest came back strong and drove 40 vards to a touchdown. then on there was a steady procession of play. ers from the Marine bench to the field, and the North Carolinians were vir- tually smothered, ROOF DRILLS HELD with this as a basis, it was explained today, a reporter set out to write a feature story of the Rhode Island boy, who helped so largely to defeat his “former teammates.” In the preparation of the story a reporter raised the question as to whether Caldwell's play at Brown did not run foul of the rules, and the opinion was expressed that it did not, since the only agreement affecting the Yale-Brown game was the fresh- man rule. Inquiry at New Haven, however, showed that it did affect Caldwell's right to play against Har- vard or_Princeton, and from this inquiry Yale's action resulted. v ‘The Brown Daily Herald, official daily of Brown University, in a cur- rent issues, say! ““That Caldwell attended Brown was no secret, for his picture appears in the 1924 Liber Brunensis as one of the members of the freshman foot ball team, he is listed in both the Liber and the university catalogue of that year and was mentioned a num- ber of times in the Herald base ball stories during the 1923 foot ball season.” ALEXANDRIA SCHOOL SUFFERS FIRST LOSS ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 12. —Alexandria High School gridironers suffered their first reversal of the sea- son yesterday when Emerson Insti- tute of Washington defeated the Maroon and White, 24 to 0, in Dread- naught Park.

TO ELUDE SCOUTS CLEVELAND, Ohio, November 12 ®).—J. D. “Tex” Mclvor, “promoter” of foot ball affairs at John Carroll University, believes there is nothing so important as guarding the team’s strategy from spies, even if he must take the gridmen to the top of a sky- scraper to do it. Unblessed with a private field, the Carroll squad was at practice in the open spaces of Edgewater Municipal Park. Along came some scouts from St. Viator University, Chicago, which plays Carroll tomorrow. “Tex” spotted them. He gave the team the ‘““come on” sign and led them to the top of the Cieveland Union Terminals Building, 708 feet above the ground. But the tower's peak was too pointed for maneuvers, and Car- roll had no foot balls to throw away. “Tex” then took them to the roof of the new Ohio Bell Telephone Co. Building, 360 feet above street level. There they found a space et square, and though it was a mite chilly they did their stuff in secret. BECKETT WILL HEAD NEW COURT LEAGUE C.

It is safe to say that most of the Mid- le Western teams entered their initial ame this vear with less than 25 hours’ Fall practice. ual scholastic eligibility rules are v for whole-hearted rivalry. nt has been settled through- out the Middle West by the forma- tion of an all-covering series of con- ferences with almost uniform rules. Differ as to “Flunks.” Some slight difference exists in the rules of different schools within these | conferences, however, concerning re- moval of scholastic deficiencies. In some schools a’“flunk” means retak- ing work in the classroom, while in others it is possible to satisfy the fac- ulty by p: age of special examina- tions. FEven this difference causes me students to feel they are dis- criminated against when ~they a barred from competition while their “cousin” in another school regains his competitive rights by examina- tions. Deep down in the very heart of equal competition is this personal fac- tor hetween the men of the opposing teams and the greatest rivalry and the most spirited competition develop when the competing individuals feel that none of the opposition has unfair advantage in training eligibility or preparation. Another factor which must be con- sidered in this age is efficient use of the great educational values of com- petitive athletics so that it fits into the whole plan of education—the men- tal, moral and physical development of youth for dctive, useful life service.

After the m: ie is hit you will notice that the club of the star golfer follows out after the b: and points to the hole. He ma point of doing this in order to get direetion; Ouimét was once be- moaning a pitch that came to some six feet to the left of the pin be- cause it was not on line, though almost a dead approach. When asked why, his reply was that it would have been a much better shot had it been on line, even if much farther over or much shorter. Von Elm is a master at splitting the pin, as they call these shots that are true to line. Yes, the good approach player ex- tends his arms full length and out along the line of flight after he has hit“the bdll. The reason is that * this move gives him a greater fac- tor of safety in the matter of stay- ing on line,-for his stroke for the last quarter of the downswing and the first quarter of the upswing after contact is on the line he wighes to send the ball. Were he tolift the elub up over his left shoulder shortly‘after contact, the tendency’would be to pull the ball to.the left or to impart a elice. wuy chance this error? second. Agee took the lead in the last mile and was never headed. Golfers at Argyle Country Club to- ow Will compete in a turkey-day ent for a brace of big birds, donated by Joshus W.
