WEST POINT, N. Y., Nov. %.—The Army eleven resumed its heavy work on the gridiron. With the Navy game only five days away, the big team was put through another stiff workout on the (Plains. P ‘There was more heavy ecrimmaging for the varsity, “the big time” team Mningpu up for twenty minutes against the scrubs, The defense got @ thorough tryout, and at the conclu- | sion of this feature of the practice the varsity was given the ball on the 20-yard line and told to score. They did {t twice, Dodd, who was in for McQuarrie the most of the afternoon at halfback getting a score on a dash through centre, and Schabacker skirt- ing the end for the other touchdown & moment later, The close observer hardly under- stands this frequent use of Dodd be- hind the Army line. McQuarrie’s poor showing in the kicking gam late may have something to do with it, although it is hardly possible that Dodd can beat out the former Mon- tana University captain for the po- sition at this late date, Dodd is com- ing fast now, it admitted, but fol» lowers of the Army eleven’ look for “Mac” to return to his previous form within the next day or so, and they can hardly Dodd if he does. Dodd is aggressive, a hard to down when carryimg the ball, works well in the Army's passing game and can kick some. He will be @ valuable man in the backfield in the event of anything happening to McQuarrie, but admirers of the big Montanan have unlimited confidence in his ability to stay#throughout the struggle with the Navy. The “air line game" got another, shaking up. It. looked pretty good when the scrubs were trying it on the big team. The varsity's defense was good and knocked down most of the overhead tosses, and what the big team backs missed g-ounded, for the most part. Once Timberlake, ®Jong, lithe end man who has developed fast during the last fortnight, got a short pass over the line of scrimmage and came near getting away with it. ‘There was a lot of rooting in’ the stands. entire Corps of Cadets rned out with a band and hurled lefis in song and cheering taunts across the field to an imaginery ‘Middy” contingent. The Cadets ar placing thelr hopes on the Army mule a8 a mascot, even though it is not at all certain that the mule will be pres- ent at the game in that capacity. However, the Soldier lads have a stunning black, gold and gray bla ket which has graced the mule’s back, and they are wagering it against the blue and gold one which the Navy goat will wear on the outcome of the game. The Middies have accepted the bet. 3 z JACK DEMPSEY’S TRAINER NAMED AS REFEREE HERE. After @ conference between Major J.

By William Abbott. 'T is the usual Harvard custom to elect a football captain several weeks after. the close of each Eddie Casey has been named as the probable Crimson leader for the 1920 team. Up at I To. Confer Football Laurel f Eddie Casey Cambridge they are now tfying to induce Edward to return to college, but the star halfback is keeping a secret what he proposes doing next season. Casey will receive a war degree this year. If he cares to he can re- turn to Harvard and complete his regular course. This would make him eligible to play football in 1920 as he has only played two years on | the varsity. Harvard's sudden desire to heap football honors on Casey comes ‘after a false start. This year Casey and Billie Murray were the two lead- ing candidates for the captaincy of the eleven that triumphed over Yale last Saturday, Murray, recognist didate, was willing to withdraw in favor of the fleet-footed back, but was elected over the plain Irishman from Natick. Rumors drifted out of Cambridge early in the campaign that the Crimson players were not on the best terms with each other. It wasn't denied at Cambridge last week that and Murray were not on Levinsky and Clay Turner Box Terrific Draw (pecial to The Brening World.) DETROIT, Mich., Nov. %.—@carred by the thump of rival fists, a veteran in the sport of the rin, 4 a will- ing worker always, Battling Levin- wky left for the East on an early morning train torday, still in the possession of his championship lau- rels among the world's light heavy- weights, Clay Turner, leading aspirant for the crown, gave the Jewish cham- pion the fight of his life in their ten-round ‘out before the National Sporting Club. The dig men, sworu enemies of the ring, fought des- perately as the claret dripped from wounds that offered mute evidence of the punishment inflicted, To render a verdict in favor of either would do the athlete discrim- inated against an injustice two men fight as Turner and Levin- aky did and leave no larger margin of superiority to weigh their merite, @ draw is the only just decision, At times caution was thrown to the winds, volleys of blows were un- leashed and almost invariably one of the men emerged from the turmoil! with a thin vein of blood trickling from ‘wound in his countenance. Tu ‘a lips were twisted out or shape his nose assumed the hue of a ripe tomato, while the Battler, fighting harder than he has in years speaking terms before and during the Princeton game. Whatever was the underlying| Yankees will again try to build up a) trouble it is notable that Casey made both his spectacular stunts against the Tigers and Yale at a time when Murray was wrapped up in a blan- ket on the side lines. Notre Dame beat West Point this year on forward passes. The same thing hap) in 191% But the soldiers learn their fesson and used the aerial attack to sink the hopes of the Navy. Maybe the same coincidence will develop at the Polo Grounds Gaturnday when the two eer- vice teams renew their football bat- ting. At the army camp this week special attention will be devoted to the overhead game. Many young men have shared ex- ceptional gridiron glory during the season that comes to a close Satur- day. Casey of Harvard, Joe Scheerer of Princeton, Rogers of West Virgina, Youngstrom of Dart- mouth, Ackley of Syracuse, Ander- son of Colgate and Wray of Penn Lyra] bave all contributed deeds of valor.
