Prominent among them are the meetings between Centre and Harv- ard, Princeton and Chicago, and Yale and lowa. Centre sprang into prominence tn 1920 by giving Harvard a terrific battle. This made such a hit that the Uttie Kentucky institution was giv em & return date, Centre's triumph over Harvard last year ts now a matter of football history. Centre students will talk about it for years. | On the other band, Harvard feels its defeat keenly. Usually a umversity ike Harvard makes little preparation for a gaine with a amall college Uke Centre. Things are quite the contrary this TALK Recently I visited the MMarvard stadium to look over the “grid” ma- . | tertal, That wae several weeks be He tried to scoop Billy Jane's hit yesterday, and it nearly fort the Bees the ball game, as three Funs made the circuit. At that he’s Yess awkward catching flies, and is than he used to be. Al Gould, the pudgy Sait Lake right-hander, looks lke « better pitcher than he was back in 1920, when he nefirly led the league, Then Gould tried to throw that spitter past every hitter. He was mighty effective, at that, because he had « lot of stuff. Yesterday he finished the game up for -the visitors, and looked fine during the final innings. He pitched to the corners, and Eldred was the only hitter to connect squarely off his delivery. WALBERG IS GREEN Rube Walberg, the giant Portland Tecruit southpaw, is @ mighty green Prospect, but he should develop. Umpire Ed Finney speaking: "Walberg looks good one day and bad the next,” says Finney, “but he has considerable stuff, and he tg will- ing to be told. Under John Mi Graw's tutorship, at New York, Wal- Berg should develop, as he has the e and enough natural ability.” IND GOING If it came to naming the most im- proved ball player in the league this y the writer's vote would go to Heinle Sand, Salt Lak shortstop. He is a careful fielder, and yet he @overs plenty of ground. He throws well and takes a nasty cut a the Plate. Ho certainly looks 190 per ent better than he did a year ago. CONCERNING INTENTIONAL PASS How about the intentional pass as @ defensive weapon? The Yanks aimed it cont them the final series game with the Giants when Young ‘Was ordered passed, and that it un. Rerved Bush, Kelly catching him off Stride and busting up the game. Three times yesterday Joe Jenkins me to the plate with two men on, 8nd Vean Gregg walked him thrice, ‘The first and last times the next hit- fer was rotired and the danger Passed. But the second time Gould Grashed a single over second and Marted the rally that tied the score. In defense of Gregg, it must be said fore the real opening of the foot- ball season. The game with Centre was being much talked about. Harvard is set on giving little Centre « trimming. Undoubtedly Centre is well aware of that fact. Perhaps Coach Charley Moran will surprise the football world again by turning out another team that will make Harvard step. Princeton goes West to tackle the University of Chicago, Once again & member of the so-called Big Three hae & problem on {ts hands, Last fall Chicago defeated Prince- ton decistvely—a real triumph for ‘Western football. THEY WANT REVENGE Princeton wants to win from Chi- cago as much as Harvard does from Centre. Coach Bill Roper of Prince- ton te alrendy pointing his team for the Chicago gums. If Princeton wins from Chicago, 'OSCOW, Idaho, Oct, 11—Idaho's Vandal football team, some times called the conference dark horse, la |b more presentable each day, but it will have no easy task upholding that distinction. The second game, but first real test, for the Gem staters, comes at Seattle Saturday, against Bagshaw’s eleven, and great things are ex pected. During the few days’ practice, Coach Mathews ts checking up on the situation, and several shifts are Ukety, altho when he returned from Whitman he gave no indication that he contemplated any noticeable changes. Matty probably wif] make several changes tn the line, t give the hack- field more kicking timber. Goff, center, and Neal, guard, probably will stay put where they played last year. ‘Tapper played the otner guard po sition againet Whitman, and played it fairly well for a new man, Yohs is available as a veteran tackle, while Hausen appeared against Whitman on the other side of the line. Hausen ts In line for a backfield position, where he functioned during frosh football last year. In case this crowd around and engage in a sight, the football enthusiast much about the game as the and Harvard defeats Centro, tt prob. ably will mean the passing of those two elevens from the Princeton end Harvard schedules.

It ie to be regretted that Yale and Towa did not meet last year. latter had @ great team, led by the befliiant Devine, and won the “Big Ten” championship Iowa has lost |four or five stare. It hardly seems possible that Howard Jones will be able satisfactorily to fill the vacated positions. GRAND YOUNG TEAM Yale had a grand young team last year that gave great promise, and seemed to need only experience. The season of 1922 should have supplied the experience, Of much interest to Eastern foot ball enthustasts is the resumption of athletics between Dartmouth and Marvard, after many years’ break due to alleged roughness on Dart mouth’s part. Dartmouth, by the way, has two big tasks, the making of a good showing against Harvard and the avenging of the overwhelming defeat Cornel! handed Monover last year.

Most any day you will be able to find Mr. Albert Griffiths, who otherwise still is Young Griffo, in his haunts in Brooklyn, And it was in Brooklyn, or Coney Island, that he fought himself so close to the top that he never could get a final chance at any title. | In these days of our Leonards and the like, when one thinks of speed, cleverness and ringmanship, jone is apt to forget the little Australian, who boxed ’em jall right up to the middleweight class and never once was | knocked to the canvas. Young Griffo, a rather frail-looking lad in the first days of his twenties, came to America in 1893. He called himself a featherweight and barely scaled up to that. Filled with a laudable ambition to win the featherweight title, he soon found that to gain a living he would have to box feathers, lightweights and welterweights and before he got thru he had to broaden his program to include middleweights. eee |Griffo Was a Marvel Griffo was @ marvel.
