Coftroth, king of Tia Juana, is in the white-light village talking horses, heavies and hopes. James W. has been told that the football of pugilism—a Dempsey- Wills match—can't be held in New York or New Jersey because of deep-rooted political objections. James W, says he'd like to take the football out west and kick it for & goal on a lovely spot adfacent to his race track. It's hard to tell whether James W, is serlous or merely talking for pub« lleity. A race track needs publicity, Especlally one like James Which runs for 100 days and offe $58,000 purses. New Haven, Conn, Nov. 6.—~Line« up changes amounting to a _moder- ate shake-up yesterday mnr‘led the opening of scrimmage practice for the week by the Yale eleven, Root, who has been used intermitténtly at tackle, went to right guard, where Wortham and Eckart have alternat- ¢d all the fall, Root, who weighs 190 pounds, rose from the scrubb squad this fall by rapid stages and has divided the right tackle assignment with Butter- worth, who appeared to have won the position. Root’s quallfication will be tested against the University ef Maryland Saturday. Opposing teams Lave gained more ground through the Ell guards this fall than any other, the total aggregating necarly Coffroth at least has money, It 1,300 yards in four games, it takes & million to awing the | “"fy pyer anire was the substitu- match Coffroth can get it. He went tion of Kline for Cottie at left half- back, but it'was understood that this was made to aliow Cottle to rest, Cottle watched the practice but did not get into the signal drill. Wadsworth was used at fullback into Tia Juana with a bland smile and a second-hand saddle and ran the two into a nest egg fit for a golden eagle, Coffroth has the promotional ex- perience, too. He wouldn't sprinkle in place of Allen, who was sént ';“';"’,' °;’h'}’;,"\'{ e :)"’-" back to the second team with did In Sheiby, Mont., when Gibbons | ganey ~rhe coaches continued Bun- and Dempsey labored through rounds, . There was a time when Coffroth was as big in pugilism as Tex Rick- ard is today.

Potts re- San Francisco Jeffries, sey. Dempsey lost the much-talked-of four-round bout to Willie Meehan— the Aunt Eppie Hog of the heavies— at Coffroth's club, - All the lightweights, from Kid Lavigue to Leonard, with the single exception of Freddie Welsh, also boxed for him. The 168-pound, or light heavy- weight championship, was created at Coffroth’s club.

Scott, another player who was in- ijured last week, was able to get back into the line-up, replacing Wadsworth, who went to halfback. Yale's attacking program consisted entirely of line plunges, and it 3s apparently Yale's campaigning plan to develop an attack minus the aerial game, Yesterday's second eleven in- {nithat!cinse cluded: Hart and Oshorne, ends; v t, tackles; g This fact is disputed by Philadel- | hichards and Vandergrift, tac ; Brown and Dortham, guards; Burt, center; Bench, quarterback; Falling and Lindley, halfbacks, and Allen fullback. phia Jack O'Brien, who contends a bout held in 1902 at Fort Erie, be- tween Gardner and Jack Root for the light heavywelght championship, preceded the Fitzsimmons-Gardner bout at Coffroth's. You May consider this important enough to argue about when you gét home to the wife and kiddles to- night. Coffroth Is a reformed newspaper man. Moreover, he was once a baseball magnate. Back in the '80s he owned the Frisco Seals in the Pa- | cific Coast league. Baseball was not | hot stuff in those days. James W. gave the club away for| {a song. It is recorded that the song jwas not particularly good either. Later when he tried to buy the . VILLANOVA 1§ VICTOR, 39-3. Meete St. Joseph's College First Time in Five Years and Wins.
