CENTRES “L0CK- New York, Oct. 23—Football experts of the east were still studying today the puzzling “lock shift” employ- ed by the doughty eleven from Cen- tre College, Danville Ky., which lost to Harvard at Cambridge Saturday, 24 to 10. Should it be taken up and em- ployed widely, critics are wondering how the rules would be atfected by such shifts. As used by the southerners Satur- day it was in conformity with estab- lished regulations, including the newly claritied rule on shift plays which has been made sufficiently clear by the rules committee of the.intercolle- giate football association to be univer- sally interpreted to prevent: all but one man on an attackipg team being in motion before the ball is passed. Those who saw Hsm.rd-c'cn!n game Saturday know that the “lock step shift” is effective, even it they aren’t quite clear why it should be more demoralizing to a team on the defense than the more common shift plays are. X Being new it had the element of sur- prise, not only to the spectators but to the Harvard team, which required a number of plays to accustom itself to the strange sight of a whole team marching, hand on shoulder and in the approved Sing Sing style, and then trooping back before the ball was m:%;:edon‘ objection raised to date against the “lock step shift” seems to be the time it requires, particularly when the quarterback adds an extra figure to his signals and the ‘whole teams “fronts” and “right abouts” with the precision of a troop of circus zou- vaes. Now that the play has been shown it wiil probably be less effec- tive when used again and consequent- Iy like other innovations may be lost. But if the idea should find popular favor will be widely used by a number, j of teams it seems probable, according to reports, that the rules committee will be asked to take cognizance of it and, perhaps, be asked to place a time limit on the completion of such As the rules now stand, Cen- intil the whistle. blew—though would have been poor policy for a los- ing team. The east has become fond of Cen- \re, its slashing teams and its rebel yell, and if an observer were judging from what s saw and heard in the stadium Saturday, he would believe that half of Dixieland had turned out 0 see its team in action. And though Harvard, mutuall Yale and Princeton have agreed to discontinue inter- contests it seems probable entre . will be asked to come >ast again. Reports today were that Cornell, Columbia. Dartmouth, Brown and sev- eral other colleges were anxious to meet the Praying Colonels next year sither in New York or Boston, proba- bly New York to dedicate the fooball he new Yankee stadium which will be completed next spring. W~OODS AND CARNEY FIGHT FAST DRAW AT MYSTIC (Special to The Bulletin) Mystic, Oct. 23—Billy Woods “of Manchester, N. H., and Billy Carney »f New Bedford fought ten fast and furicus rounds to a draw at the Wil- ow Point Casino here tonight in the main bout on the card of the Mystic Athletic club. Due to the inclement weather, and the lastness .in starting he show the main go was cut down from twelve rourds to ten rounds which was perfectly satisfactory to all roncerned. In the main mill both Woods and “arney started off at a fast pace and he go develaped into one of the best slugfests that the patrons of the Mys- ic shows have ever had the pleasure »¢ witnessing. Carney tore into Woods h a swing left to the stomach but found the Manchester boy a ready mixer always ready o take a wallop o give one im return. Carney was ightly the aggressor through the ght while Woods contenting himseil with letting Carney cowe to him. Both boys were two-fited fighters and worked hard rights and lefts with equal effect. The first two rounds were practically even while the third went to Carney by a shade. The ourth was even with Carney missing several’ hard rights to Woods' Jjaw ind Woods missing by 2 hair several sleep-producing upper-cuts. The fifth round was Woods' who peppered Car- ney with light left jabs and crossed wicked rights to the head several imes. The sixth was an even break for the boys. In the seventh Woods ‘ocked Carney with several hard rights and lefts to the jaw but was unable ‘0 wear him down. The eighth looked as if the end was near when Carmey unintentionally hit Woods low and Referee Lee sent Woods to his corner for examination. After a moment Woods came back with a smile and the bout proceeded it the same fast pace. The ninth was sven but Carney had the edge on Woods in the tenth both boys finish- ng in a whirlwind of give and take milling. Referee Terry Lee's decision »f a draw met with the hearty appro- ral of the $pectators. The semi-final brought together Young Willard of Fall River and Tom- my Dunne of Holyoke in a farcicai mcounter. At the start the bout looked phoney as both boys seemed to be pulling their punches. They were warned sevefal times by the referee and finally Williard ' snapped out of t and sailed into Dunne who would not fight. Lee disqualified Dunne and sent him to the showers, in the third round. In the preliminary Young Billy Car- ney, brother of Big Bill, earned a de- cision over Young Leduce of Holyoke in six fast rounds. Smiler McCormick of Stoninston won a technical knockout over his fellow’ townsman, Kid Lewis, in the third round of the curtain-raiser. Lee stopped the bout to save Lewis from further punishment. The work of Terry Lee of Bridgeport as referee drew favorable comment from the fans and his decjsions were as near perfect as ome would want. It is a relie to see a real referee in the ring in tais part of the state, Palitz, sporting his left lamp in a sling, was introduced and challenged the winner of the main go. EFFORT TO BE MADE TO ELIMINATE “COLLEGE JUMPER" New York, Oct. 22—(By the A. P.) What may be the opening wedge in a campaign for publicity regarding the personnel of all college athletic will be intercollegiate cross country champi- onship run at Van Cortlandt Park late next month, The innovation will be tried in con- nection with the freshman titwlar race and will involve a complete disclosure of the entrants’ previous scholstic and collegiate athletic activities. Under the intercollegiate amateur athletic association of America regula- tions, the entry of an unlimited num- ber of freshmen is permitted up to the formal closing of the fleld., At the special request of the leading eastern athletic coaches a further entry of not more than five men will be permitted Mp to within forty-eight hours of the TRES “LOCK-STEP SHIT THE CAUSE OF MUCH DISCUSSION jtion and com ! combinations previous to big contests inaugurated at the coming start. The coaches originally request- ed that post entries be received but the this sugges- X bn the addi- tional five-man entry. This action™in part met the contention of the coaches that it was not always possible to know the athletic ability of all fresh- men runners at the time the formal ‘entries closed. In accepting the forty-eight hour entry the I G, A. A A. A. saw an op- portunity to put in effect a plan of publicity ng athietic entrants, and adopted a rule that all competi- tors in the first-year event must fur- nish a complete list of school and col- lege scholastic standing, activity and records in all sports in which they had competed, and particularly in. track and field athletic events in which a point or prize winning position ‘had been scored. According to unofficial statements this method of ascertaining the ath- letes' complete athletic history may be later adopted for all dual, trian- gular and championship competitions under the jurisdiction of the organi- zation. Working with other similar collegiate sports governing bcdies it is hoped that in time a plan may be broadened to cover baseball, football, basketball and other intercollegiate sports. The plan would then provide for the compiling of such data and its distri- bution, not only to the press, but competing colleges and alumni, varsity clubs and other similar organizations for inspection previous to competition. This would afford an opportunity for detecting any irregularities in the statement furnished by the proposed contestants and eliminate what is known in college athletic circles as the ‘“ringer”, “drifter” and ‘college umper”’. YALE/ PREPARING FOR THE INVADING ARMY New Haven, Conn., Oct. 23—The eleven emerged from the Williams game minus casualties, except a rath- er severe leg bruise which halfback Knapp received along the third quar- ter. The Army invades New Haven next Saturday, with the entire cadet body as its supporters. The game is sure to be a colorful one, as the cadéts will march in parade in the bowl prior to the kick-off. The Elis expect the hardest game of the season, except the Harvard classic this Saturday. Last year's ex- perience convinced Jones and his pu- pils that the. West Pointers could play football, clean, sound and, above all hard football. The Army is minus French, the star of last year's team, but there is no doubt that Yale will have a back this year who can equal French's ability in aerial war. The Elis have been very weak on the defense of the aerial game, and a large part of the time prior to the game this Saturday will .probably be spent in tightening up the defense of the overhead play. The Army line is strong, and every man in the forward line has had years of experience. Captain Graves' place at center. will be ably. taken care of by Garbisch, a former Washington and Jefferson captain. Yale still has a long, hard season to maneuver through. Iowa was the first obstacle and the Army is the sec- ond barrier. Yale will have to display a far more varied and finished of- fensive than she has shown sc far this season to gain through the West Point line. This is not only quite pos- sible, but very probable, with O'Hearn’s return and Captain Jor- | dan's complete recovery, both of which may be expected by Saturday. O'Hearn, Jordan, Mallory, Neale, Neidlinger and Wight are the backs |'expected, to give the Army forwards an afternoon’s work. The Eli line is still in a state of development and the tackles and the pivot position seem to be causing the most trou- ble. The wing men who will proba- .bly start Saturday should be picked from Eddy, Hulman and Blair. Miller, Diller, Green and Joss are possibilities for tackles. Landis and Lovejoy are at the top among the centers. . If O'Hearn is still lame, Neidlinger and Adams will probably divide the honors at quarter. The rest of the backfield has been already mentioned, aiithough Knapp may be in shape to be used. In any event, Yale will send the best team yet assembled this sea- s against Daley men this Satur- ay. TAFTVILLE SOCCER TEAM WINS FIRST GAME FROM WESTERLY The Taftville soccer team opened their season on Saturday afternoon with a weil earned victory over the American Thread team of Westerly at the Taftville field. The Taftville team won in the last few minutes of play when J. Greenhalgh took the ball through a broken field and kicked the goal. The score was 2 to 1. Westerly got away to a good start by scoring one goal in the first few minutes of play. The play during the remaiinder of the first half was in mrd-field with the ball see-sawing back and forth. At the beginning of the second half the Taftville boys started off with a rush and scored the tying' goal before the Westerly team was fairly alive to the situation. Then the play tightened up and it was not until -the last few minutes that the game was decided. Doran, Strong, IWrag; and J. Greenhalgh featured in the play for the Taftville team. Taft- |vflle has the strongest team that it lhal put on the field in years and it Ithey contimue to play the same kind of a game that they played Saturday it will be hard to find a team that can beat them. They play a return game at Westerly on next Sunday. i H KNUTE ROCHNE QUALIFIES AS THE “ALTROCK OF FOOTBALL” .South Bend, Ind, Oct. 23—Knute Rockne, University of Notre Dame, football mentor, would make good as a theatrical = producer, the football fans here declare. ¢ lfi w “TODAY'S SPORTS | RACING 2 Meeting of Empire State Racing Association, at Yonkers. i Meeting of Kentucky Jockey Club, at Latonia. g . i Meeting of Maryland Fair Asso- clation, at Laurel.

P.)— Checks totalling $37,096.46, represent- ing the amount awarded to the mem- bers of the Cincinnati National and St. Louis American league baseball clubs, for finishing the pennant race in second place today were sent out by Baseball Commissioner K. M. Lan. dis. Each club 'was given $18,548.23, representing one-half of the 60 per cent. balance after the world's series contenders had been paid and the 15 per cent. allowed the commissioner's office had been deducted. The St. Louis club’s share was split into twenty eight shares, 19 of the players receiving $662.44 each and nine recelvig $662.43. 7 The Cincinnati club’s share was di- vided into twenty five full shares of $71341 and a twenty sixth share which was split into four parts. in amounts ranging from $71.30 to 427.78, ‘of patriof from the secretary of the navy and by plea to pride from | a slip ' of a_woman, went out to sea with . the Henry Ford, schooner out|. of Gloucester, today and beat the in- ternational champion, Bluenose, of Bluenose was beaten by less -than 2 and 1-2 minutes in 40 milgs. The efficial times were Henry Ford, 5:01:34 Bluenose 5:04:0. & Only 28 of the 30 men of the Ford sailed with her, two mutineers remain- ing on the dock. ! Morrissey is Match for Canadian Captain Clayton Morrissey, skipper of the schooner; who sank his griev- ances in the belated but earnest de- 3] of his mag to g0 out ta race again, whirled the wheel, shifted sails, smelled out wind and match wits with ‘| Captain Angus Walters, of the Blue- nose, gaining the honors - on every point. Captain Angus, himself, at the same time furnished keen and close competition and a fighting finish in which the Bluenose cut down 2 1-2 minutes in 5 miles. The day did not pass without a new complication¢how- ever. To the question involved in the matter of Saturday's no-race decision, and the errors in computing the Hen- ry Ford's sail area, was added a writ- ten protest from Captain Waltérs at the starting line that the Bluenose was racing with keel probably damaged by grounding in the mud at his wharf during the night. The protest was taken under consideration. It was only when the international series seemed at the point of going to the Bluenose and to Canada by for- feit that Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby and Mrs. Jonathan Raymond, of Boston stepped into the picture. Secretary Denby was on the wharf to sail again with the Henry Ford as he did on Saturday. Mrs. Raymond had gone with her husband, a part own- er in the schooner, to see’ what he could do to turn them back. He had nc success. She spoke a word or two, a plea to their pride, a profession of her faith in them, and they wavered and took counsel one with another. Secretary Denby addressed them as shipmate to shipmate, as the leader of the na- tion’s navy to sporting defenders of VILLA OUTPOINTS EDWARDS IN FAST 10-ROUND UT Boston, Oct. 23—Pancho Villa. Am- erican flyweight champion, decisive- ly outfought and outpointed Danny Edwards, Pacific coast bantamweight champion, in their ten round bout here tonight. The Filipino champion’s weight was announced as 113 -1-2 and his oppo- nent’s as 115 1-2. Villa outpointed Edwards in every round, although in the second it appeared as though the heavier' fighter had a chance. In the early rounds Villa \permitted Edwards its flag in an international challenge ‘race and engaged their minds. “Boys Get Aboard” says Morrisey A few fought against the trend. Ben Stanley, a famous sail shifter of these parts, and Nicholas Coles, a foremast hand, argued against retreat from their stand. Then Captain Mor- rissey added a.word here and there, sounded the sentiment, found it right, and snapped out the command: “Boys, get aboard and bend on that mail sail.” Only Stanley and Coles were left on the wharf. There they remained. to'do the leading, but in the latter rounds he forced the fighting. Every hard blow struck by Edwards and there were quite a number, ap- peared to be the signal to Villa to unloose a veritable volley of blows, a -volley which Edwards could not even block. The Filipino used almost every blow in the boxing vocabulary, frequently catching .his opponent un- awares with back-hand clouts when it appeared that he had missed his aim entirely. . RECORD GROWD EXPECTED TO SEE YALE-ARMY GAME New Haven, Oct. 23—When the op- ening whistle ‘blows at the Yale-Ar- my game here Saturday, it is expect- ed that 76,000 persons will be pack: ed into the Yale bowl to witness the picturesque struggle. It was:' announc- ed by the ticket department today that the last 4,000 tickets had been sold at a publig sale here this morn- ing. As a result the ticket office is closed to further application for seats. The actual seating capacity of the bowl, which has been .sold out, is 74,- 538, including the extra wooden seats on the field. In addition to -this num- ber, ushers, reporters, attendants and others in official capacity on the field will bring the total up to 75,000. SPEAKER WILL MANAGE 5 INDIANS NEXT SEASO Cleveland, Oct. 23—Tris Speaker will continue to manage the Cleveland Am- erican league team next season. An-'| nouncement to this effect was made today by E. S. Barnard, president of the Cleveland team and sets at rest reports that the star centerfielder of the Indians would discontinue his managerial duties here. 4 Speaker took charge of the Indi- ans during the latter part of 1919 and the team finished in second place. The following year the Indians won the American league pennant and the world's championship. ‘The team fin- ished second in 1921 and fourth this season, one game from third place. TALK OF STARTING SEMI-PRO BASKETBALL TEAM HEARD There is considerable talk going the rounds about starting a semi-pro bas- ketball team here this season and it sounds good providing a suitable place to play can be secured.. Norwich has always been rather shy on good in- door sports during the winter and any effort to put a little life into the old town in this line should meet with the hearty approval of the fans. Nor- wich has some star basketball talent in its mjdst and without doubt as fast a team as any in the state could be put on provided the Norwich peo- ple would give it their support. TEMPLETON RESIGNS AS DIRECTOR OF WATERBURY CLUB ‘Waterbury, Oct. 23—Directors of the ‘Waterbury baseball club of the East- ern league, deferred action on the ap- pointment of a manager for the 1923 season, at the annual meeting held tonight. The resignation of Lieutenant Governor Charles A. Templeton as a director of the club was accepted. John T. Sullivan, ‘'who recently pur- Rockne gave the spectators at the Notre Dame-Depauw game last Sat- urday some entertainment from the kick-off umtil the final play. He fill- ed in the intermission between halves with a burlesque entitled “Football in 1930.” The opposifg teams were the Cake: eaters dressed in clown suits and the Tea Hounds attired in frock coats, derby hats, ‘athletic underwear, pink shoulder pads and striped hose. A, slap on the wrist was the equivalent of a diving tackle. § CARDINALS TO START SPRING TRAINING ABOUT MARCH 18T St. Louis, Mo. Oct. 23—President Sam Breadon and Manager Branch Rickey of the St. Louis Nationals, are enroute to Breadontown, Fla., to ar- range training camp details. The team, it was announced, will'depart about March 1st for the Florida camp to get into condition .for tl 1923 campaign. Breadontown is across the bay from Tampa. Arrangements probably will be made with some American league team for practice games, it was said. chased Mr. Templeton’s interest in the ! club was elected to the board of di- rectors. Sullivan was elected treasur- er, succeeding Sherman Perry. Presi- dent John Bulger and Secretary Mi- chael J. Moran were re-elected. THE NUGGETS ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE OF THE SOLDIERS In reply to the challenge of Bat- tery B resarding a game of indoor i baseball the Nuggets' manager says that his team will play the Battery at any time or any place. The only reason that he could not play on Mon- day evening was that several of his men had previous engagements and could not accept on such a short notice but. would be glad to take a fall out <of the soldiers at any other time. YOUNG MONTREAL FIGHTS « FAST DRAW WITH O'DOWD Providence, R. I, Oct. 23—Young Montreal, Providence bantamweight, and ldie O’Dowd, of Columbus, Ohio, fought a 12-round draw here tonight. Neither fighter was able to maintain an advantage consistently. The Ford was towed out with her men working on the -much revised main. sail, Secretary Denby, a satis- fied shipmate now, and Mrs. Raymond smiling and waving her good wishes from the cap log. The Gloucester men, who had seen | their Canadian rival pass them on the way out to the start, worked as they worK™ hauling trawls in thé face of an overwhelming storm on the fish- ing banks. ‘The main sail was bent on end up when they reached the start- ing line, but they found that the com- mittee, considerate of their difficul- ties, had obtained a postponement, of an hour. The Start They jogged around a while, Blue- nos and Gloucestermen, Captain Wal- ters and Skipper Morrissey matching wits for the honors at the start. These went to'the Henry Fordis captain in as pretty as a picture as the marine sparts admirers could wish to see. The schooners went across in the same sec- ond, Bluenose slight in advance. But she was on the Gloucestermen's lee, and still adjusting herself after wear- ing around. The Henry Ford came down with all kites flying, swung into the weather berth, luffing past the Bluenose stern. Robber of ‘the wind, the Canadian swung almost idly while Captain Clayton Morrissey and his re- cent mutinees stepped along to a lead that was never headed. Captain Walters tried to luff it out to his advantage in turn, but although he swung to windward was still as- tern. The First Leg to the Henry Ford The race that followed -was one of light to strong winds, that swung from - southwest to west and back again with a blow that ran up to about 15 knots as a maximum. On the first leg a broad reach of five miles, the Henry Ford led by 40 seconds. The test to windward, the first in the series on this point of sail- ing, came on the second leg, a dead heat of 10 miles and Bluenose ad- mirers were at a loss to explain the Ford’s advantage of 2 minutes, 54 sec- onds, at the end of the tussle with | the wind, Captain Morrisey at the or- ‘der of maneuvre, taking one long board | down the Magnolia shore, then four short hitches to make the mark, and Captain Angus followed him tack for tack, splitting noyge. The Blienose Gains Reaching close hauled by the winds on the third leg of ten miles out to the open sea, the Bluenose gained 49 seconds. But on the next side of the triangle, the third stretch of ten miles, a broad reach, in which Captain An- gus pinched his boat and Captain Mor- rissey eased all sheets, the Henry Ford went out and left behind her a wake so long that the utmost effort of man and ship on the part of the Canadi- ans could not overhaul her. l Turning on the last leg, the Glou- cestermen had a lead of 4 minutes 45 | seconds, The wind was strong from the southwest, the course lay east by north. Close-hauled, the schooners i“2ought along the Cape Ann shore, | fwith thousands watching them from the natural stand. The Bluenose foot- ed fastest, pointed slightly in the air and pressed on, gaining constantly while with the Henry Ford in front slipped swiftly along, her skipper and crew, with the secretary of navy at the wheel latterly, able in the end to accept the official 8un and the whistled applause from the spectator fleet, ‘winners returning to a wharf where a mutinous mood had been turned into a will to win.

A ter was read by Chairman William/1. MacIn- nis, of the race committee from Presi- dent Harding, who writing in advance of the races, said: G “Because of their connection with an event whose repute for good square sportsmanship is so well established, it is quite possible to extend con- gratulations in advance to the win- ning captain and crew.” . The president said the races were a fine contribution to the internation- al good will “between our people and our Canadian neighbors”. |, Secretary of the Navy Denby join- _Ing in the president's appreciation of contests made - several observations the international® good done by these gained from his two days on the slip- pery decks of the racing fisherman Henry Ford.

SPORT WORLD BRIEFS Last Saturday found Yale and Princeton resting while Harvard had to work. This Saturday will find all three at work, but Harvard's job doesn’t seem as heavy as it did three days ago.

Mitchell's eighteen hole average for 102 rounds was 72.7 strokes and Duncan’s 73. > Four race horses, Almaden Onward, Harry D., and Abe Direct, noted pac- ors, and Daybreak well known trot- ter, were burned to death in their stalls early Sunday morning. when fire swept through the famous.Char- ter Oak stables at Charter Oak Park near here. Wesley R. a trotter, was so badly burned that he was shot late Sunday afternoon. Judging from the reports Centre College is likely to be back in these parts again next year. The Kentucki- ans may not appear against Harvard but with Boston College, Dartmouth and Brown anxious to play the men from “Old Kentuck”, it is expected enough to draw the blue grass war- riors on its schedule. Judging by their last meeting Jack Britton and Mickey Walter will put up one of the best welterweight battles in years when they meet at Madison Square Garden on Wednes- day, November 1, in a fifteen-round bout, at 147 pounds. This pair met in Newark last year in a twelve-round bout, and at the finish opinion was divided as to the winner.
