It ‘was, midnight before the final bout was over. Rector, who was knocked out by Bennie Leonard in five rounds recent- ly, was lucky to last the route with rately to put the Jersewman away. Several times he had him reeling around the ring like an old-fashioned sallor on shore leave. Always, however, Hector :rTe- cuperated.

VANDEGKRAFF AGAIN INJURED. Army Tackle Twists Knee in First Time Out Since October 6. West Point, N. Y., Nov. 1.—Army football’ stock took a decided drop yesterday afternoon.when Bill Van- degraff, who went into the scrimmage work yesterday for the first time since October 6, was hurt and carried from the field. The injury to Vandegraft came in the very first play. The big fellow twisted his weak knee in going down the field under one of Oliphant’s high spirals. There is little likeli- hood/ of his getting In against Notre Dame on Saturday. The Army line, with Luce and Adams again at the guard positions and Vandegraff at tackle, looked for- midable.

I, Nov. 1.—A Brown squad prepared for the big Syracuse game on Baturday. The military leaders excused the entire varsity squad at an early hour so that they could practice. No formal scrim- mage was indulged in, the ball being simply placed in midfield and various attacks and counter attacks tried out.

Y., Nov. 1.—The varsity | put up a goud game -against the Cornell scrub line in scrimmage yes- terday afternoon, and although the substitutes scored a touchdown while playing an offensive drill inside the regulars ten-yard line, the varsity overbalanced that by charging forty yards for a score. Van Horn did most of the work. Colvin and Harris got two fine passes.which would have resulted in touchdowns had the plays been com- pleted. Bill Surry was back in the varsity line-up at quarter.

C. in Meriden this evening, are primed to the minute for the fray, which promises to be one of the most sensational in the annals of the box- ing game in the Bilver city. A vic- tory for either boy tonight means much, and this itself indicates that | both battlers will go to it from the sound of the opening gong. Mack has recently returned to his home city from North Adafns, Mass.,, where he worked out under the watchful eye of “Cleve’” Hawkins, the big colored bat- tler. He is in the fittest of condition’ and is confident of “taking” his Capi- tal City opponent. ‘Waltz on the other hand, has worked faithfully fer tonight's battle, and with prospects of facing the best in the state, his ef- forts tonight will be bent in eliminat- ing Mack from the path of glory. The Olive street clubhouse will no doubt be taxed to the limit with friends of both boys. | In the semi-final “Young Oscar” Gardner of Hartford, will "do battle with Larry Hanson of New York Gardner has been making his home in Harfford for the past few months, and reports from his camp indicate that he intends to make the battle this evening & memorable one. Han- son, by his fine work around the Metropolis of late, has placed him- self very close to the top of the | lightweight division and a loss at the hands of Gardner would greatly in- jure his reputation. The show will open with a six round affair between Young Butch of Meriden and Jimmy Sandy of New York. This should be in keeping with . | the other bouts. Alderman David Fitzgerald of New Haven, the dean of Conn. referees will be the third man in the ring, and Hugh Rorty will send forth his thun- derous voice in telling who's who and why, eto. - James Daly will hold the Waltham. .A big crowd will attend from this city. FORDHAM IN SCRIMMAGE. New Yorkers Putting on Full Steam in Practice for Georgetown ’Irnnd.-y. New York, Nov. 1.—Fordham’s var- sity and scrub elevens engaged in a long scrimmage yesterday afternoon. Coach McCaffery used the scrimmage as a test and arill for the line. Asa result the regulars bucked with and againet a shaken.up line for forty minutes. . The first team, after & hard struggle, went across for a score. The ball was then taken out to the 10-yard line and Ewing, Frisch, Col- lette and Galligan took turns at carry- ing it over the line. With several of the scrubs playing for the varsity and likely to stay ‘there if the Maroon line does not take a brace a spirited tussle was held that furnished a good workout for the Georgetown game. Brennan's bruised leg again kept him out of the lineup yesterday. There was little improvement in the line. The backs were more frequent- 1y presented with a spilled front than an opening. Frisch, however, did some clever plunging. ANOTHER JOUT FOR GREEN. Capt. McDonough and C. I. Holbrook | I Hanover, N. H, Nov. 1.~Another| Injured at Dartmouth. hard blow was dealt to the Dartmouth McDoinough and C. F. Holbrook were injured in a hard scrimmage. It is barely possible that these men will be able to start the game against Penn State on Saturday, and as they are the two most dependable men in the back fleld, the Green's chances of win- ning are very slim. The scrimmage was particularly hard and long yesterday afternoon, with the back ‘fleld playing very poor- ly. The line, however, played well. Ross, at right end, played a great game. Presson will be used in C. F. Holbrook's place and S. W. Holbrook will be shifted from halfback to Capt. McDonough's pasition, with Eastman filling the older Holbrook's place at half., SOCCER AT PRINCETON. Executive Committee Gives Permis- sion for Formation of Team. Princeton; N.
