Cornell's twin defeats at the hands of Williams and Rutgers had relegated the Dobie machine to a low rating in the college world. Col- umbia’s victory over Williams by an impressive 27 to 3 score should make Columbia the favorite over Cornell considering that the Ithacans lost to Williams, 14 to 7. But Cornell is always dangerous and with Colum- bia working under the handicap of having its leader swept from his place by death, the outcome of the game is problematical nowe, The football teams of Harvard, Yale and Columbia will remain idle today while funeral services of Haughton are being held in Boston. Columbia will Jeave tonight for Ith- aca following services for the dead coach at the university chapel.

The Purdue boilermakers are taper- ing their rehearsals and leave to- morrow morning for Chicago. Ohio’s Coach Wilce at Ohio State is con- cerned with his team's attack. While Saturday's game with Wooster is re- garded as a rest for the Buckeyes, future clashes with Indldana, Michi- gan and lliinois are being kept in mind. or breath bia e Notre Dame Ready Coach Knute Rockne of Notre Dame, is developing a powerful run- ning attack, combined with an over- head offense and line plunging as a reception for Georgia Tech, which is en route to South Bend.

Should the plans mature favor- ably, the Bridgeport eleven will make its first appearance on a local gridiron.

The bout was a no-decision affair, but the concensus of opinion of piewspapermen at the ringside gave Walker a wide margin. The welter- weight champion was the aggressor throughout, but couM not knock out the clever St. Paul hoxer. Walker fought an aggressive fight, | nsing both hands with terrific speed |but at times his judgment of ¢ tance was poor and his timing was bad. Malone fought purcly a de- fensive fight, allowing Walker to do the leading and boxing his way out of the situation when it became too torrid for him. In the fith round it appeared that Malone was going to be knocked out 48 the result of a right hand smash to his jaw which floored him and aimost knocked him through the ropes.
