Two might teams, contenders mythical championship honors, vale has romped through Maine, Georgia and Brown, and, at the mo- ment at least, it appears, can very well end the season undefeated pro- ¢ juggernaut can be con- f Army the Yale sched- o calls for battles with Dartmouth, Maryland, Princeton and Harvard. No_soft spots there, it must be ad- mitted, but it does seem as though Army is the biggest hurdle to be clear- ed Boston University, Southorn Methodists, Providence and Harverd into defeat. After Yale it must battle De Pauw, Notre Dame, Ne- braska and Stanford. Dartmouth, another leading candi- date at_present, on mnext Saturday tackles, Harvard, which has time this week to learn that fumbles are costly. Th were the deciding factor in the Ha rd-Army game. Six of the Atlantic seaboard’s un- defeated and untied elevens will enter Saturday's battles with a rayer. Carnegie Tech meets Pittsburgh and hopes to win, although realizing that the Panther, beaten by West Virginia, is a dang us foe at any time. New York University must defend its clean record against Colgate, which has lost ly in intersectional combat with anderbilt. Cornell meets her first major test against a Princeton eleven tied by Vir- nia, but not yet defeated. Williams'| eak may end before Columbia’s at- tack, although the Lions will be badly crippled with Hank Kumpf out of the game the rest of the scason. Tufts, boasting an undefeated record for a season and a half, battles Tuss Mc- Laughry's Brown Bears, and Dugquesne may well fear for its victory string against Geneva. Pennsylvania has little fear of Navy and Georgetown players are not re- ported to be losing any sleep over the approaching intersectional battle with Duke. The rest of the unbeaten and untied array—Temple, Villanova, Haver- ford and Boston College—are to be pitted against opposition the *“dope” favors them to defeat. Syracuse, whose record is marred only by an intersectional one-point defeat by Nebraska, meets Penn State. La- fayette, tied by Bucknell, but not de- teated, plays the strong Mountaineers of West Virginia. Marquette ccmes east fo try conclu- ~ions with Holy Cross again. Washing- ten and Jefferson, beaten by Duquesne and trounced by Carnegie Tech, figures as a distinct underdog against Ford- ham. A “Little Three” clash between Wesleyan and Amherst and the Buck- nell-Gettysburg duel round out the cay’s principal attractions.

NEW YORK, October 23.—Jake Rup- pert, owner of the Yankees, hopes to increase the seating capacity of the Yankee Stadium to 125,000 within a year. The stadium will comfortably ac- commodate 72,000 at present, although more than that piled in to see a cru- clal double-header between the Yan- kees and the Philadelphia Athletics late in the recent campaign. Although no definite plans have been made, Ruppert hopes eventually to have the field completely circled by a cov- ered stand. The first step in the pro- gram is to replace the present center field bleachers with a concrete bleacher section. Then an upper deck of wood will be built to discover if it will have any adverse effect on the lighting on the playing fleld itself. 1If players complain that the shadows are interfering with their handling of hit balls, the upper deck will be torn away. Otherwise it will be replaced later by a permanent concrete super- structure, and similar changes will be made in the right field section. If these plans go through, the park ime to do a little mound duty. ‘Quit, who me?” asked McKinney in | prise. “Not until I pitch a no-hit, | run_game. And after that—well, | ybe T'll quit pitching.” [WOMEN BY CORINNE FRAZIER.

H. W. Prud- ham of Amherstburgh, against Sunday foot ball playing in that town. = L. A. McHugh, acting crown attorney, said that unless admisison was charged or disorderly conduct proved, he be- lieved that there was nothing in the rd's day act to bar the games. The police view is that the anclent Lord’s day act, which was passed by the Legisiature of Upper Canada before con- federation, specifically bars noisy games on Sunday. The matter will be referred to the attorney general. TWO TITLES CHANGE HANDS SAME NIGHT By the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY. October 23.—Mexico City's bull ring bids well to become as famous for its boxing matches as for the classic “corridas de toros” which for many years have thrilled immense audiences assembled in ample grandstands. Several noteworthy pugilistic en- counters have been staged in the arena where during the season of “toros” the “matador” performs, and the crowds at- | tracted by the fistic sport are scarcely inferior in numbers to those attending the bull fights. The Mexican works himself into as great a frenzy over a prize fight as he does over the slaying of a bull, and his shouts of “pegale!” and “matale hom- bre!” feave no doubt as to his enthusi- as its The women have become almost as interested in boxing as have the men.

Thirty thou- sand persons can be seated comfortably in the bull ring and a good boxing pro- gram usually finds it well filled. The boxers have their dressing roorms below the stands and are led into the pit through the same entrance used by the “toreros” when they sally forth with their scarlet capes to do battle with the ‘beasts. Mexico has taken up boxing on an ex- tensive scale only in recent years, but the sport has met with general public favor and prize fight promotion, alv though meeting with setbacks now and then, often turns out to be a lucrative business.
