Ty | WILL NOT BOX ABROAD 'HARVARD MAPS OUT PLANS FOR CENTER Scrubs Using Kentuckians' Plays Drives Regulars Hard Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 20.—That the Harvard coaches and their 'Vars- ity football team are taking this week’s match with Center College in all seriousness, and are preparing for it much more thoroughly than for the ordinary run of middle scason games, was clearly demonstrated by yester- day's practice session in the stadium. Monday night the coaches put togeth- er all their ddta on the Danville team as provided by old Harvard players who saw the Kentuckians play West Virginia last vear and both of their games played this season. A plan of offensive and defensive campaign was mapped out for Saturday. Yesterday Havemever, the centre, and Tom Woods, the veteran guard, were withheld from the lineup simply | for a much needed rest, but the re- mainder of the 'Varsity scrimmaged | three-quarters of an hour against the second team and came off the field after as hard a session as was held during last week’s drive. The scrubs, using Center Colleze plays, made a few good gains, but only early in the scrimmage, while the 'Varsity, suiting its offensive action against Center's several varieties of secondary defense, made things hum and ripped off two touchdowns, one by steady plugging and the other on a forty-yard run through the line by Owen. Later the substitutes worked against the scrubs, but did no scoring by rushing. Buell and Fitzgerald had a long ses- HULDA Do You HNOW WHERE ThAT BOTTLE OF c‘oong’-NG SHERRY SOM!BQDY MUST AAVE TAWSN 1T - 1T WOoULDN T Go AWAY WITHOUT SomeEBoDY TAWING IT THATS SURT sion of drop kicking behind scrim- mage, and both did uniformly accur- ate shooting from the vicinity of the thirty-yard line. Evidently Harvard is polishing its approach game, which has been very consistent all year. Fitzgerald doubtless will start Sat- urday, but Captain Horween is still on the side lines and the chances for hLB playing against Center are slight. Leo/! Leary, former field.coach, was on the field again. Harvard is confident that it can beat Center, but is making a lot of the game, which is expected to attract more than 35,000 people to the stadium. More Changes at Yale. New Haven, Oct. 20.—Five more changes were ordered terday iIn the Yale lineup, making a round doz- en in two days. The lightweight ends, Eddie Shevlin and Dicky Dilworth, were feinstated after a day’s trial of Cutler and Stabeck. O'Brien, fresh- man tackle last year, was given Dick- ens’ berth at tackle, Herr returned to right guard after two weeks banish- ment because of loss of forty pounds | weight, and Jordan got the fullback assignment. The varsity players were ordered against the freshmen for the first practice game of the season and the yaungsters were outscored only wh‘:) they were kept on the gridiron when completely exhausted, finally suc- cumbing to the line plunging of Jor- dan and Frank Kelley The final score of 21 to 13 was also Saturday's figure in the Boston Coll encounter. Tigers Look Slow. Princeton, N. J., Oct Roper gave the Princeton heavy day's work behind at University Field noon. The regulars strenuous session against the scrubs and ended with a hot crimmage against the freshmen. In spite of the endurance powers exhibited by the first string players and their substi- tutes the Tiger coaches were not en- t lastic over the showing. The Varsity men appeared sluggish, and ! | while they outplayed all their oppon- | ents, scoring half a dozen touchdowns | during the afternoon, they did not fol- low the ball with as much pep and dash as usual. The presence of Cuptain in the scrimmage instilled drive into the men, but Roper did not risk him long in the game. Mike retired to the | sige lines after a dozen plays. Don Lourie also drew rather an ecarly day and the crack 'Varsity quarter retired in favor of Johnny Gorman in time to get into his strect clotheg and spend an interested half hour watching prac- | tice from the sidelines. 20.—Coach "Varsity a losed gates yesterday after- began with a Callahan | Manager Jack Kearns Denies Rumor That Dempscy Will Defend Title in ! nglish Ring. | New York, Oct world’'s he: will not ma defend his title als, no 20.—Jack Dempsey, yweight boxing champion, trip to England to against aspiring riv- at the inducement. ion was made yesterday carns, Dempsey’s manager, prospect of a trip to ibmitted to him. The r ceipt of blegram, containing in- formation of a rumor through Eng- land that the champion was contem- plating a trip across the briny in January, prompted the denial of Manager Kearns The cablegram was as follows: ported here Dempsey England in January. Is it true?” Manager Kearns was a visitor to Madison Square Garden yesterday on a mission he would not disclose, but he denied emphatically that Demp- sey or himself was contemplating a by Jack when the rope was “Re coming to is [ trip to- England. \ three heats of “Dempsey will not go to England in January, February; March, April or May,” said Kearns when the proposition was broached to him and the contents of the cable- gram made known. “I haven’t had any ‘advices from England which would lead me to believe that there was foundation for such a rumor. Possibly promoters abroad are con- sidering the idea of arranging a meeting between Dempsey and Car- pentier or Beckett, but there have been no definite negotiations for such a match, nor is there Ilkely to be anything positive accomplished in the immediate future. “Dempsey is idle right now and will be until the winter sets in. I have several matches in view, how- ever, and expect soon to have the champion pitted against a rival. As for England, however, there isn't enough money over there to induce us to make the trip right now.” —— . WILTON A. C. HERE SUNDAY. The fast Empire team ot this city will have for their opponents Sunday afternoon at the Newington Road grounds the Wilton A. C. team of Hartford which in otner words is the old Lyric A. C. team that defeated both npires and Redwoods two years a score of 14-0. Last Sunday P. Kahms, the game | little end for the Empires suffered a | badly dislocated shoulder and the Em- pires are planning on making game a benefit game for him. Last evening the squad was put through a hard practice by Coaches Kendall and Rittner and the same will be done Thursda) ntght when the faults ot last Sunday's game will be brought out in clear form so that in the future they can be remedied. Empires don’t forget practice Thursday night at 7 p. m. prompt.
