By The Amociated Pre: “New York, Oct. 23.—The rod of divination which wavers with uncer- tainty over the gridiron spread, hunting hidden dynamite, points this #week to Princeton. Sporting fans, aiws be on the ground when big things happen, are preparing to follow a strong ‘“feel” that the second mect- ing between the Tigers and Knute Rockne's Notre Dame fliers may be well worth seeing. On the surface, the Hoosiers, vic- tors last fall by a score of 25 to 2 #nd having already rough-ridden the Army without apparent effort this season, will be easy winners over a Tiger team that was outplayed by Lehigh and escaped a defeat from Navy only by a strong finish for a 17 to 14 victory. But football games between intel- ligent teams are subject to emotional Influences sometimes stronger than the physical. Princeton and Notre Dame elevens have always been in- struments upon which enthusiasm and epirit played. Notre Dame, with physical odds in its favor, has no great urge to excite its spiritual quality; Princeton has, and every wave of information that comes from the Tiger camp indi- cates that Princeton is doing it. The Princeton champions of 1922 crossed Chicago in their campaign to final victory after a sensational eampaign which earned for the eleven the title of “team of destiny Bijll Roper and all of the tradition of Princeton are now working to in- still the same spirit, and from the Princeton campus comes the assur- ance that Notre Dame will be the rubicon over which the 1924 Tigers will eross to another championship. If Notre Dame enters the contest s anxious to RANGERS T0 PLAY IN WATERBURY SUNDAY Local Eleven Will be in Preliminary Contest Before New Britain- Blues Game, * he Rangers football team will not pl home this Sunday as was scheduled, but will travel to Water- bury to play the Tribunes of that city in a preliminary game for the Waterbury and All New Britain game, The Tribunes are yet to taste de. and the Rangers are deter- mined to do their utmost in eeeing that the do, The game will be played at Brass Co. Park at 1:30 p, m. sharp. The bus will leave the Rangers’ club house at 11 a. m. sharp. All players and supporters of the team are asked to be on hand early as a large delegation intend to make the trip. The Rangers have practiced faith- fully all week and from end to end and in the back fleld are in good shape. Argosy, the clever snapper- back, also is reported in the pink of condition. 4 —_— LEONARD 10 ALS0 GIVE UP TITLES? Report Is That He Will Follow + Duidee New York, Oct. 23.—Benny Leonard is about ready to announce his retirement as a lightweight. is not improbable that he will fol- low the lead of Johnny Dundee, re- cently retired feather king, and va- feat, cate the throne without another de- | fending contest. i PASSING OF GRID STARS 15 SERIOLS Goaches Then Up Against 1t to Build Team ———— It is a known fact that one star ball player often, makes a champion- ship club out of an ordinary team. 8 a,concrete example, take the rase of Rogér Peckinpaugh of the hington club, The remarkable play of the vet- cran shortstop was one of the big reasons why Washington won the American League pennant. In the first two games of the world series he etarred. Then a leg injury forced him from the lineup, An untried recruit essayed to fill Peckinpaugh's place. He did the best he could but was far from a Peckinpaugh. Washington, that had played the Ohants to a standstill in the first two games, looked like a different ball club with Peckinpaugh out of it. The air-tight infield “that had dou- ble-pla¥ed itself to a pennant looked more li a sleve, What holds good for baseha almost equally true of foothall, | some outstanding star from an | eleven and invariably it reduces the | strength of that team at least 25 per cent, Many of the leading football coaches of the country are up against such a situation this fall. Cornell, defeated by Williams, sorely missed the gviding influence of Pfann plus his brilliant runs. In the game with Georgia, was hard pressed to win 7 to 6: Last scason Yale defeated Georgia 40 to 0, While Yale appeared to much strength and a wealth of ma- terial, there was no cohesion to the play of the Rlu* against Georgia. The excellent judgment of Riche- | son at quarter was lacking. The ground-gaining ability of three flect backs like Stevens, Neale, Neidlinger was sadly missed. | Then there was a lack of defen- sive play, such as Yale expects and Yale | have Stop Grange.

Midwest football interest also fol- lows Notre Dame, leaving today for the eas{ to engage Princeton, The Rockne proteges still bear the marks of the struggle 'with the army on their first eastern invasion, and, al- though Captain Adam Walsh ' ac- companies the team, his place at center will be taken by Harmon, vet- eran 168 pound quarterback. Ohlo's Jong passes are the chief worry of Coach Stagg of Chicago. The Maroon line is intact and is con- sidered capable of holding the Buck- eyes,but the veteran mentor i3 not satisfled with the general defensive tactics of the squad.

The New Britain High school football team won a 14 to 0 victory over the Ranger Athletic club yos- terday afternoon after school at Memorial field. The Rangers oftered tough opposition but were mot capable of checking the onslaught of the fast High school backs with their stock of well executed trick plays. Thé High school eleven had the ball In their possession the greater part of the time as the Rangers forfeited it by fumples and poorly directed passes. The touch- downs were made by Gripp and Neipp, sharing the laurels with Zehrer, Belser and O'Brien and the other backfield men who played with their customary skill and pep. The line men had the toughest job as their opponents were older ‘and heavier. The lineup was as follows: High School Ranger A, O, McCarthy-Lacav ‘Westerman. Gourson . ... .

Vicentini, hardest hitter among the challengers, had the stuft that fritered away his chances n Broadway cafes. One by one the other contenders faded into obscurity until presently none was left with the slightest claim | to distinction as a lightweight chal- | lenger. Leonard then arranged a | bout with Mickey Walker for the welterweight title. This did not | come off, due to an injured thumb | sustained by Leonard. This bout will not be held until next summer. It will be an open air attraction with Tex Rickard doing the promoting. If Leonard wins he will continue in the ring as welter- weight champion. Otherwise he will hang up the mittens for good Leonard promises to be the second lightweight champion to retire un- defeated. Jack McAuliffe, old timer, was the other.
