New Haven, Dec. 9.—Football gos- sip in New Haven last night centered itself about an unofficial 1920 schedule which leaked out yesterday afternoon. The most amazing feature of the chart is that it calls for a game against Cornell, and that the proposed Ithaca contest is the second date of the sea- son-—presumably October 9, since the | schedule calls for eight games. | This list, coming out with absolutely | o authority, has not met with enthusi- astic acceptance, but many think that | the majority of the dates are correct Williams, Cornell, Boston college, Col- | the Army, Brown, Princeton and | Harvard are to be played in the order given, according to the rumors. The first three games furnish the only sur- | prises, as it was known that the two | others would be played if possible. It has been said that Bostan college did not want to play Yale next year becauss the Boston team realized that its 1919 schedule had been too strenu- ous. On the other hand, attempts to | drop this game probably met with ob- | jections at this end, as Yale never has | breken off with a team with an un- wenged defeat marring the Blue rec- gatc ord The one serious defect in the sched- ule as rumored is the Cornell date. Yale men would like to sce Cornell on the card but doubt the advisability of playing a big game so early. If this schedule finally should be accepted it will be by far the hardest Yalc ever has had. The return of the Army and Colgate would be very pop- ular here. It is thought that the Army will be played at West Point. With the exception of the Princeton contest all other games would take place in! the bawl. : | TOM ANDREWS INJURED.

I am wait- ing for offer I want a little time to think it over,” he said. Seldom has a conquering turning from a victoriou received such a welcome as did Car pentier. Fully 15,000 persons wer crowded into the North Station, cheer- nd singing “The Marscillaise.” Paris last autumn cheered and showed wonderful enthusiasm on the visits of royalty, but never with such spontaneity as in greeting the fighting champion. Carpentier was Seized by the crowd when he alighted from the train and separated from Deschamps, his manager and temporarily lost in the mad throng. His right arm was slightly hurt. Nothing serious,” he informed anxious correspondents, “‘but a from which 1 suffered during training reopened.” The French promoters are pleased that Carpentier has not signed an agreement of any kind with C. B. Cochrane, the British promoter. M. Decoin, manager of the Wonderland Sporting club of Paris, who on Satur- day sent a cablegram to Jack Kearns offering to deposit whatever amount Jack Dempsey would ask for a twenty round fight with Carpentier on July 14, informed the Associated Press that he will deposit 1,000,000 francs with the Equitable Trust at Paris to guarantee Dempsey's end, although the American champion has not yet replied to his message stating his terms. rpentier hero campaign e the boil my highly of the British publie, ure Americans vertheless, Dempsey in spoke of the but added that he was be equally fa he preferred to meet France. “T am glad Dempsey does not ob- ject to coming to France,” he said. “A great show can be staged here.
