NEW HAVEN. Nov.

Princeton and Harvard before it
closes what promises to prove its
most glorious gridiron ceased} in
fourteen years. Not since Ted Coy' s
sweepstakes eleven of 1909 has the
team finished its season without a
defeat. The briliant showing com-
plied by the eleven captained by Bill
Mallory has Justtlcd predictions of
repeating the achievement which
Coy performed. In 1916. the only
year since 1009 that Yale hue beat-
on Harvard and Princeton. Cupid
Black's team won by a single touch;
down. The \Elis have crushed such
skyrock' playlw combinations as
West Point. Brown. and Buckncll by
one-sided scores and today predic-
ons Were unanimous and wagers of

humble the Crimson and “1? Tiger
by scores which rue into double
figures. ‘
Princeton will come here next
Saturday and till the Bowl with 77.-
000 people. Tickets have leaked
into the ands of speculators and.
are already bringing $20.00‘mpiece.
Only three pasteboards are allowed
to Princeton and two to Yale Alumni
and undergraduates.

For the first time in the history of
tho coaching regime of Chief Tad
Jones Yul has developed two elev-
ens which are almost equal ill play-

It has no’backtleld players who
weigh as much as 170 pounds. with
the exception of Mallory. its first

This lightweight combination is in-
capable of making any impression

WHO WILL HAVE
EDDIECOLLINS?

that Is Being Asked
Today ~-—- May Not
Play Under Chance

PHILADELPHIA. Po... Nov. 13.—
Eddie Collins. the boy from Phila-
delphia. who is figuring big in c
baseball news just now outxétézd
the news gatherers by hurryin
to. Maine on a. hunting trip just
when the wires began to get hot
about his being traded by the. Cili-
cago thitc So: to \V’ashington. Also
Clark Griffith declared he knew of
no deal for Collins to come to \Vash~
ington as manager and second base-
man. and as Griff ought to know
that was something of a damper on
the story that Eddie would boss the
Capital City team next year.

Yet what is going t become of
Collins? \Vill a. man of his inde-
pendence and reputation be content
to take the palpable snub handed
him by Comiskey. when the latter
ignored his claims and went outside
the club for a. manager to succeed
Kid Gleason?

For many years the three out:
standing players in the American
League have been Ty Cobb. Tris
Speaker and Eddie Collins First
Speaker was promoted to a mawer-
ial role and next Cobb had thmhonor
conferred on him. Later came
George Sister. who in turn has been
made manager.

It would be peculiar if Eddie
didn't reason that he was entitled
to the same opportunity as his fel-
low stars. particularly when the
White Sox situation is analyzed.
When Kid Gleason quit, leaving a
vacancy. everybody believed Cornis-
key would consider nobody but Col-
lins. for here he had One of the
brightest baseball players in America
on his team. who for several seasons
had been heralded as a managerial
possibility.

Collins By All The Dope.

It seemed that the moat logical
thing Comlskey could do would be
to turn the team over to his faith-
ful second sacker who has served
him so well since he went to the
White Sox in 1915. but to the sur-
prise of everybody Comi'skey paid
no attention to Collins transparent
claims and went outside the team
and engaged Frank Chance.

Of course an owner has the right
to sign any man he pleases and Com-
iskey was acting solely within his
rights. but how does it leave Collins.
who teday is the best ball player by
far on the White Sox team? Does
Comiskey imagine that Eddie is e.
Elf-witted dub who will take this

Yanks that would have put Eddie
with the world's champions Had the
kid had his way.:_ Collins was very
eager to play with“ the Yanks. but
when the deal was called on he went
to Chicago without protest: and gave
the White Box “his best services. This

RING SEASON
MAY CHANGE

Winter will Become a
Busy Season if Ball
Parks are Closed to
Boxing

Linking matches for the winter
season is a problem that is puzzling
both the promoters and the Box-
ing commission. Perhaps commis-
sioner McCormack’s warning that
there may not be any boxing in ball
parks next summer will cause those
who have been holding of! for big-
ger purses to get together.
The question of boxing
parks will come up. at
meeting of the major

 

 

in' ball
the joint
leagues at

Johnson of the American League al-
ready is on record as being opposed
to it. The National League probab-
ly will tollOW'suit. although there
is nothing in the constitution that
permits the league head to tell the
individual owners what they shall do
with their property.

Over in Philadelphia the! have
had boxing in the ball parks for
years." There never was any protest
against it because boxing in the Qua.
ker City never reached such pro.
portions as to interfere with base-
ball‘ as was the case in New York
last summer. '

It is rumored in boxing circles
that one owner of a local ball park
will stand his ground and insist upon

it is probable that the others will do
the same rather than allow the in‘-
surgeut to .enjoy the advantage of

doing him any harm. Then he be-
came a lion and soon hammered the
surprised Carpentler into submission
Any tough fellow could have done
the same thing if he received the
same opportunity.

Siki lost the decision in the Mo-
Tigue' affair. which went twenty
rounds ‘with no harm done. Perhaps
Siki really was beaten. Perhaps he
did not deserve to lose his title. At
any rate his performance did not.

One thing in Slkl's favor is that
he will be watched more closely
this time while he is training. Over
in. France he did about as be pleased
no one being able to curb him. For
this bout he is training as an Ameri-
can tighter trains. and that should
make a. world of difference.

.Norfolk. of course. is\not a great
fighter by any means. He was
knocked out by old Sam. Langford
long after Sam was virtually through.
He was so frightened the night he
got into the ring with Harry Wifls
that he did not wait to be bit be-
fore taking to the canvas.

But while it is true that Norfofk
cannot perform well against “class"
he is a demon against a novice. The
Kid is very strong. very tough and
very fast for a man of his husky
build. He knows how and when to
hit and all that pertains to the game
of fisticuffs. He probably is just as
game as Siki and when he finds out
that the Senegalese knows compara-
tively little about boxing he will be
a grth deal braver. ,

Man like Harry Wills say that
Norfolk is a cinch to score a knock-
out. Wills also h of the opinion that
Sikl’s presence in the game will not
help the sport. Harry is all for law
and order and respectability. ,
bitterly opposed. to Jack Johnson and,

escapades have been the talk of two
continents. makes his fistic debut in
this country. Hi the ring‘ at Madl-
son Square Garden he squares oi!
against Kid Norfolk. another gentle-
man of color.

Much interest attaches to Sikl's
appearance. First attracting atten-
tion of boxing fans here and abroad
by wrenching the world's light-
heavyweight championship from that
dear boy Georges Carpentier in a
most rude and uncouth manner. only
to lose it eight months ago to Michael
McTigue under equally sensational
circumstances. he has kept himself
in the international_ spotlight be-
tween times by his penchant for
getting into trouble.

The fame he won within the ropes
coupled with the notoriety he earned
outside of them—the one as much
as the other. perhaps—created a. sub-
stantial demand for. his servicees.
His professional upd'prixate exploits
have gained him considerable repu-
tatlon.

Local fans are keenly curious to
see in action the man who knocked
Gorgeous Georges on one. or both. of
his handsome pink ears. and made
life exciting if not miserable for the
gendarmes of Paris.

“What manner of fighter is this
f‘llow Siki?" the fans have been
asking ever since his name began to
figure in the cable dispatches.

Safeguarded and vouched for ”by
Francis Albertauti. a member of
Promoter Tex Rickard’s publicity
staff. a gang of boxing writers trick-
ed Siki to his lair in. Jersey yester-
day to and the answer to the ques-
tion. They bearded him in S. Boy's
training camp near Summit. where
the Senegalese is preparing himself
for the Norfolk mate

After they,had wat ed Sikl train
for 20 minutes .or so and had sub-
mitted him to a searching examina-
tion from a Safe distance. the scrlv~
eners wore obliged to admit that
Louis—yes. that’s his given name-—
is an enigma to them. If he were to
be judged strictly on yesterday's
disclosures. Siki's fame as a lighter is
asundeserved as his notoriety as a
troublemaker.

Apparently he has been both over-
rated and misjudged. He displayed
.little of the ability that he seemingly
must possess to have won a world's
title. and'there was nothing about
him to denote a quarreisome or
brawling disposition. . He was a bit
of a puzzle to tho scribes. They
knew not how to rate him after the
one inspection. .

Possibly final judgment on Sikl's
worth as a boxer is to be withheld.
He ‘may be one of those ringsters
who does not show at his best in
the gymnasium. Then. too, he may
be short of training. meaning that he
is offxform in his boxing.

Sikl has not.fought in several
months. He has been in strict
training eleven days. and he started
boxing only three days ago. When
he went to camp lie-weighed 188
pounds. For the first week be. de-
voted him if chiefly to mad work
and other eight, reducing labor. He
now scales 178 pounds. and still is
a few pounds overweight. With an-
other week' to train he probably will
x‘bund himself into pnme condition.
In training costume Siki fills the
eye as ,,a tighter of tremendous
strength: He is 5 feet 19 1-2 inches
txli‘ and‘ is power-sully built along
chunky lines. Re is wide of should~
era and thick of chest and his

He impressed one as a very stroniz

battler who can take a lot of socklng
and depends more upon sheer
strength than boxing skill to bring
down his foes.
. Siki stood of! before Taylor in a
semi-crouch. He covered and weaved
somewhat in the fashion of Demp-
sey. He waited for chances to land
his punches rather than‘ making
openings for them. He is not a
straight hitter. He chucks a heavy
punch and shoots 'em from any and
all angles. but he swings them.

Moreover he telegraphs them. par-
ticularly his right. There is no snap
to his blows. but there is a lot of

roe to them. as there needs must
be considering the size and dead
weight of his Inns.

Taylor. like most negro sparrin‘g
partners. probably was too conscious
of his position to let himself out. He
seemed to be under wraps all the
while and he was sparring. But
even so he landed frequently on Slki.
