M. C. A. five, Saturday evening in the local gymnasium. “King” made his debut of the season agaimst the Kamels last Saturday evening in a Nutmeg uniform, and his work at guard was one of the bright features of the game. Other players of note in the visitors’ Ime-up will include Ruffin, the former Middletown High school star; Martin, of Pittsburgh; Pratt, of Syracuse, and Rolton, of Pittsfleld. This combination, with ‘Wiener, the all-intercollegiate star, should form a hard foe for the locals. ‘The All-Stars are on a trip during the Christmas recess, meeting the best teams in New York and Connecticut. In Hoosick Falls, N. Y., the stars went down to defeat in a 20-to-18 game, while the fast Mechanicville, N. and the High school game should be a thriller. CITY LEAGUERS FINISH SCHEDULE Live Oaks Capture Champianship For Second Consecutive Time preliminary The City league schedule just com- pleted, was the closest race between the first division teams, ever had in the league. Both the team averages and the individual averages were slightly ahead of last season. Five teams ‘were S0 close in strength but one pin separated them in average, previous to the last week's rolling. . ‘The Annex with an average of eight pins less than-Colonials or Areos still finished ahead of both teams. This way be accounted for partly by luck and partly by maintaining their stride when the oppoments fell down. The Live Oaks started with a big lead and through crippled by illness of two of its stars kept plugging with success. Nichols and Lofgren are new names among the high ten men. Standing. W. L.

PRONOTERS BARRED Chief Smith Displays “Nothing Doing” Sign to Curley et. al. New Haven, Dec. 27.—There are several cities not very far from Broad- way where New York promoters who are waiting for the next boxing law’ to be passed could in the interim profitably spend their time. One of these towns is New Haven, where twenty round bouts are permitted and where the patronage is’' very satis- tactory. Several leading promoters have cast covetous eyes at this city, and have tried to establish themselves Lere in the promoting line. Sad ‘to relate, they have been brutally re- Luffed, and it really does not seem that any of them will succeed in get- ting a foothold in the college town. Dick Curley was the latest to try, and he was greeted in a most chilling Battling Levinsky in a bout in New Haven in a ‘hall that would seat 10- 000 persons and was but two hours away from New York. But when Richard made application to Chief of Police Smith for a license he met with: peremptory refusal. From all of which it would seem that New York promoters will have te wait until they get a new law in New York state. COLLEGE MEN GATHER First of Several Important Meetings to Open at Hotel Astor This Evening— To Hear Government Suggestions. New. York, Dec. 27.—The first of several important intercollegiate meetings to take place here this week will be held at the Hotel Astor to- night, when the executive committee of the National Collegiate Athletic as- sociation will convene and arrange for the annual meeting of the organiza- tion tomorrow. What this organiza- tion does will have an important bear- ing on intercollegiate competition next season. Lieut. Col. Palmer E. Pierce, presi- dent of the national body, will preside at the committee meeting tonight. | The other members of the committee | are Professor Frank W. Nicalson, | Weslevan; Professor C. L. Maxey, | Williams; Professor Erastus Palmer, C. C..N. Y.; R. T. Abercrombie, Johns Hopkins; Professor H. E. Buchanan, Tennessee; Professor C. D. Coons, Denison; Professar George W. Bryant, Coe; W. L. Driver, Texas A, and M.; President H. C. Parmelee, Colorado School of Mines, and Professor A. D. Browne, Oregon State. The meeting will have unusual im- portance because President Pierce will bring from the officials at Washington any suggestion which the government may care to make on its attitude about college sports for next season. It was at the suggestion of Secretary | of War Baker that the organization so strongly advocated intercollegiate foatball last season, a suggestion which was followed by practically all the colleges except Harvard, Yale and Princeton. At these institutions ‘*var- sity football was dropped for military and it is very Jikely that these three universities will pursue the same course next season. YOUNG GOES TO SANFORD. ‘Will Report on New Year’s Day to Take Up Duties As Trainer. Louisville, Ky., Dec. 27.—Willilam J. Young,'who will report on Jan. 1 to take up his duties as trainer of a di- vision of John Sanford's horses, has tarned over to J. S. Ward seven year- { lings, which he has been training for various owners. He was particularly loath to part with Monastir, a bay colt : | by Broomstick;Starry Night which he | was training for Kenneth D. Alexan- der, who raced the two-year-old Es- ccba so successfully during the last season. Young declares that Monastir is | the best colt he has ever trained and that his trials show him to be su- perior to Escobg when that.colt wes a yearling. Monastir's pedigree traces back to the noted Maggie B. B. the j¢am of Iroquois, the only American bred horse to win the English Derby. According to Young this colt will prove the sensational two-year-old of :the 1918 season in Kentucky. BOXING MEN HELD IN COURT. Magistrate Brough Reserves Decision on Bouts at Grupp's. New York, Dee. 27.—The owner and promoters of the Grupps Gym- | nasium and Athletic club of Harlem appropriate trophy. This is open to all and no entrance fee will be re- quired.

Lieutenant Louis Thompsan, of the West 123d street police station, testi- fled that on the night of December 14 several exhibition bouts were put on at the ckub house locased in .190th street, and that the police who vis- jted the club rooms were not entire- 1y satisfled that the affair was con- ducted chiefly far club members.

Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 27.—Athlet- ics for the masses rather than for the few is the proposal of Dr. Dudley A. Sargent, director of the Hemenway Gymnasium, Harvard. Declaring that thiggis not the time for the fostering of highly specialized athletics in our col- leges Dr. Sargent yesterday in the Harvard gymnasium added: “We want today more than ever the everyday man to come out and do his part in some form of athletics. It is a duty each young man owes the na- tion, and our colleges should empha- size this fact by introducing sports in ! bayonet fencing, a number of which not the few but the many can compete. “The suggestlon made in the West that a grenade throwing contest be added to the events in the Conference intercollegiate meet is a good one, but ! the benefit that would accrue from such a competition would be very small if a few, selected athletes from each college took part in the contest. What we want now is droves of men taking part In our sports. Groups rather than specialists should be given the preference, and any athletic event | which will allow a great number of ! men to.compete rather than those with ! studted specialized skill, has my ap- | proval. “Grenade throwing, wall scaling, our gymnastic exercises are all fine prep- arations for doing 2 man’s work on the battleflelds of Europe, but their value would be maximized if bodies of men rather than hand picked individ- uvals reap and enjoy their benefits.” ; MAUPOME LOSES MATCH. | Interstate Billiard Champion Defeated By McCourt. Cleveland, Ohio., Dec. 26.—Pierre Maupome, Interstate Billiard League | champlon, after twelve straight vic- | tories on his own table, went down to defeat in his thirteenth game at the hands of Charles McCourt, former champion, here last night by a score of 50 to 49 in sixty-four innings. Mau- pome looked like a winner up to the sixty-fourth inning. 1In that session McCourt with a score of 46 ran 4, and it was over. McCourt’s high runs were three of 4 and Maupome’s were 6, 5 and two fours. OCORNELL LOSES AT CHESS.
