In the I meantime, Caldwell has been ordered by Coach Tad Jones to turn out for 2 j practice today. t With Coach Roper of Princeton pubi. 1 licly declaring that Yale will be hardI er to beat "without Caldwell than | with him” and with the Princeton f faculty committee voluntarily petition--1 ing Yale to set aside this particular ineligibility rule “just this once,” the | Yale athletic committee was in sessj ion on the matter today, j Caldwell was ruled off the team when it was disclosed he had played | freshman football at another college | before entering Yale, ts And while there was no definite in- '? dication of the committee’s decision % which probably will be forthcoming late today, it was generally believed I in student circles that the committee I would rescind its action —for the 1 Princeton game Saturday, at least. 1 John M. Gates, director of athletics at Yale pointed out today that neither Caldwell himself, nor Yale, had knowingly violated the rule which exists between Harvard, Princeton and Yale —Caldwell not knowing of the rule and Yale having no ‘record of his | former play. -| "It is a case,” Director Gates said, "in which the spirit of the rule has not been violated, either by Caldwell I or by Yal&. Therefore, it is possible { that away may be seen to accede to I Princeton’s wishes.” * q Luke Renner Is Out For Muncie Normal Five Luke Renner, former Geneva high school athlete, who is attending Muncie Normal College, is one of the fifteen candidates so» the College basketbail team who remained on the squad after it was reduced from 45 to 15 candidates.

Metzger SayS Watch Flanagan When Notre Dame Plays Army By SOL METZGER A BIG game, this battle between Notre Dame and the Army at the \ ankee Stadium tomorrow.- Coach “Biff" Jones would just about as coou win it us a Major-Generaley, for defeating a llockne eleven is the cats meow in football. I'll even go so far as to predict a Notre Dame victory, tor Ive seen the "Fighting Irish’’ this season and don’t mind saying they are as good a football team as there is. f " r ' jfit i if v 9c® '®\ 3 i t | ihc^s,— —h) On end runs Flanagan, the low, loaning speed boy, is the game • The quick Uckfield shift to either side lands them as shown In f the banying diagram.

A *** r "j, “ he nonchalantly stands up, moves a step or so to the right »’ the starting signal, smears the defensive tackle oil this pluyt rlle ” jams into the defensive guard, and the backs and line are off. . Rockne lets the short side of the defense through, knowing they I never catch Flanagan, und at the same time they tear into the hacks cutting them down. The play starts as an end run, but may heco a cut-in oft tackle, the play Flanagan beat the Army with ast faU. ns up the defensive end. “If he angles in, as shown, N. 2 back leads I* lunaganim and around him, often with such speed that the end is not even cu dow» everyone going for the defensive backs. It’s the play that is doped to »eat Army Saturday, though it would not surprise me in the least to see Notre tJame use one of its lateral passes just to help along the score, tile one l n describe in tomorrow’s yarn.

By Frank Getty (United Press Sports Editor) Boxing are the chief sufferers from this silly war between boxing bodies. Tho spurt is spoiled for them by tho bickerings of the self-indulgent legislators. Each time the National Boxing Association swings a hard left at the New York State Athletic Association, the blow misses and catches the average fight fan right on the button. And when the New York solons strike back the result Is the same. it is the fan who suffers from these needless quarrels over who is champion and who shall fight whom. Perhaps, one of these days, it will he a fan who will propose a solution. Here is a suggestion from one fight fan, a fairly well-known one, too. “Sir:: “W’illiam Muldoon, of New York Boxing Commission, to my way of thinking, is responsible for the healthy condition of the boxing game today, and is without question the outstanding figure of title grand, glorious sport. And if the various state boxing commissions would adopt and carry , out the rules aud by-laws of the New I York Commission and put a man like Muldoon at the head of their state box- ; ing commissions, there would he a lot less squabbling and dissatisfaction and the figlit-going public would get a much better run for their money. One only needs to see how clubs in New York City put on their shows to be convinced what a truly great man William Muldoon really is. If the country at large could see just how the

sport was governed in New York City, l believe every state in the Union would have legalized boxing. New York's splendid policy has been brought about through the untiring efforts of William Muldoon. "I feel sure that no one could conscientiously say one bad word against him or against his honesty and sincerity. He has always been a Hue example of what clean living will do for men, and e'en today, at the age of 82, he Is a perfect specimen of correct living. He is a two-fisted square shooter from every angle. He likes to see every ( one connected with tho sport he tlemanly always and clean in their hus-| iness dealings. True, he is firm when he believes himself to he in the right, 1 hut on the other hand, if one shows him where he Is wrong, he Is the first to admit it, and it takes a big man to do that. But William Muldoon is hardly ever wrong. He Is probably the keenest student of boxing and how it should he handled, living today. Ho is absolutely fair in setting any controversies that may cotne up and he has the respect of every honest fighter, fight manager, or promoter in the game because they all know he will do the right thing with them. Moreover he has the respect and holds tho con-1 fidence of practiclaly eveiy recognized j sporting authority,-either in or out of' New York, and he will continue to do so as long as he lives. "William Muldoon is that kind of a man. I wish we had more men like 1 him.. “Janies J. Jeffries.” Jim Jeffries still ranks in most ■ men’s minds as the outstanding heavy- ‘

weight champion of all time, the man ! who, iu his prime aud theirs, could j have whipped ail the title-holders who ] came before and after him. As to what he has to say about WiJ-1 Hum Muldoon, one can only add, after the manner of our British boy friends: “Hear! Hear!” Commodores Ready For Their Opening Game The Catholic high school Comma I dorqs will wind up practice this evening with a light signal practice in preparation for their first basket hall game of the season, to he played In the
