Captain Fischer, end, will lead hls Greencastle warriors against Kip Kessler’s Wabash scrappers at 2 p. m. at Irvin Field this afternoon. It should be a merry old tussel and thè dope is liable to get another spili. Wabash seems to have a big edge, but De Pauw a 1 w a y s flghts harder and longer in thè Starlet clash. Fischer is a fast end and a capable leader and is leading his team for thè last time in his school career.

limar team HAS RECORD OF iraPRISES as a ‘Green Team’ ai thè Start of thè Season, They Upset Dope. GREAT FIGHTING SPIRIT Tiger Clawed Way From Behind Time Aster Time, and Held Grimly. By TVESTBROOK PEGLER United Se ics Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, NOV. 25.—The studious quiet of Princeton, N. J., is fractured by thè thrum and hum of thè locai tailor’s sewing machine, stitching twenty lettere of “P” to thè varsity bosoms of twenty football sweaters. These lettere, which will soon bulge on through unbuttoned oveicoats about thè campus, are svmbols of thè Big Three and Eastern football championshìp of 1922, which is now placed beyond any possible winning by thè Army or Navy, Harvard or Yale. They were awarded to twenty football players of this year's Tiger rag-mg who played in thè eight Princeton winnings and thereby removed thè title from involvement in thè big games of thè season’s ultimate Saturday. There are those, of course, who •v ill deny Princeton thè honor on thè kund that thè Tiger didn't taste any Pittsburgh, which beat Wash-Jeff, ór Cornell, which is undefeated, or thè Army, which tled Yale. Snub thè skeptics. For Lafayette and West Virginia beat Pittsburgh, and West Virginia was stood off by Washington and Lee. Comell's only fìret-rate victim in seven conquests thus far was Colgate, which was clawed up by Princeton, 10 to 0, and Comll’s only remaining opponent ls Pennsylvania, beaten by Alabama and Pittsburgh. Cornell plays Penn on Thanksgiving day. The Army tied Notte Dame and was also tled by Yale. Thls ls thè outline of thè hlstory of Princeton’s handsome standing, proving that it doesn’t much matter whether Yale beats Harvard or turnabout In Saturday’s game at New Haven. Proving also that thè ArmyXavy game at thè huge new stadium of Franklin fleld In Fhilly means a fractlonal part of nothing at all with respect to thè title.
VILLA-GENARO FIGHT OFF Bij United Sete NEW YORK, Nov. 25. —The fight between Pancho Villa, American flyweight Champion, and Frankie Genaro, vrho beat him twice before Villa won thè tltle, has been called off. They were expected to battio In Jersey City but thè promotion’ fllwered. The manager of Genaro sald that VJlla’s manager had demanded a guarantee of $25,000 for a declslon with Genaro In New York. Fight Resulta NEW YORK —Andy Thomas, New York welterweight, won a twelveround declslon from Joe Welling, Chicago. Kid Ivaplean, Merldian, won a twelve-round bout from Kid Sullivan. SYRACUSE —Johnny Martin, Syracuse featherweight, knocked out Louis Heele of Cleveland In fourth round. Tank Plans Unseltled The New York Yankees talk of going to New Orleans to do their spring training next year, but lt Is not settled. They may be shipped to California to give them a chance on some exhibition stunts with thè Chicago Cubs. It depends on whether or not thè Califomians indicate any onthusiasm for such stuff. At New Boxing Club Bobby Lee, hard-hitting locai welterweight, is training at Mike MitcheH’s newly equipped athletic club at 825 S. Meridian St. Lee has several bouts bookcd. Other boxers working at thè club are Patsy McMahon, Sidney Glick, Maxle and Solly j Epstein and Tommy McDuff. Zeller Midgets The Zeller Midgets desire gaines I for Sunday and Thanksgiving.

BOUTS AT ANDERSON By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Nov. 25.—Five bouts are scheduled on thè boxing card to be staged by thè Anderson Athletlc Association Thanksgiving night. Louie Lavell of Anderson will meet Johnny Luca of St. Louis in thè main go of ten roynds. They are lightweights. Danny Cohen of Pittsburgh and Benny Mail of St. Louis, welterweights, will clash in thè semi-wind-up of eight rounds. There will be three pretiminary matches. NO BOXINO IN FAI STADIUM N. Y. Magnates ‘Scared Off Dempsey-Wills Bout. By United X e ics NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—The new Yankees’ stadium, which could seat 100,000 persons for a prize tight, will not be available for thè DempseyWills bout next June 30, betause thè owners have been ‘‘scared off” thè enterprise by tlireats of new taxatipn on baseball. Tex Rickard probably will take thè tight to his own stadium at Boyles' thirty aerea, Jersey City, which seats 90,00 people. This Information was given out here in a guarded manner by an informant sald to be dose to thè owners of thè Yankees. It was stated that thè majority of big league club owners are alarmed over thè matter of permittlng boxing bouts to be held in big league parks because it ls likely to lead to thè imposition of State taxes on base ball games equal to thè State taxes on fights. In New York State thè State tax on fights is 5 per cent. It is likely that thè matter of leasing league lots to flght promotere will be up in thè major league meeting here in December with a recommendation that thè custom be stopped. Baseball's principa! fear is said to be taxation but there is also thè risk that thè gambling element which always adheres to thè tight game will attach itself to baseball if lt is en.couraged to patronize fights in thè ball parks. CARSON TO BOX SPARKS Don Carson, locai bantamweight, will meet ICid Sparks in an eightround bout in Terre Haute Thanksgiving day in thè seml-wind up to thè Bud Taylor-Jack Darry scrap. The winner of thè Carson-Sparks match will be matched with Battling Chink. Two other bouts are included on thè Terre Haute Turkey day fisticuff card. KOKOMO MEETS FT. WAYNE By Times Special KOKOMO, Ind., Nov. 25.—The Kokomo American Leglon football team will play Ft. Wayne at ICokomo Sun. day. The Ft. Wayne eleven has made a great record this year and one of thè best games of thè season is expected.

BROOKLYN PLAYERS PROD EBBETS FOR MORE COIN Ry United Jfetea NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—The hall players of Cliarlie Ebbet's Brooklyn team are breaklng thè old philanthroplst’s hoart by their commercialism. It is a matter of great sadness, too, to Uncle Charlio that thè players have ignored his altruistlc preachments to them on thè mena.ee of too mudi money to thè morals of a young uthlete. Ebbets declared thè baseball players' union, wlilch is stili organizlng, apparently has adopted a minimum ivage demand of $5,000. One roolcie just a year out of tho Southern Association, where he received .$2,100, refused to sign with Ebbets for next season because Charlie offered him only $4,500. Dutch Reuther, thè star pitcher of thè Doclgers last season, received SB,OOO, thè “Ben Franklin” of Flatbush declared. He wants $12,000 for next season and Ebbets, not caring for thè money itself, thlnks this saiary would be very bad for Dutch. “The players need no union for protection,” sald Ebbets. “The reserve clause and ten-day clauso in contraets are necessary for thè welfare of tho game." McCann in Hot Finish Hary McCann, Canadian pocket bllliàrd star, threw a surprise In thè allcomors event at thè Claypool parlor Friday night, when he nosed out Gene Henning, State champ, 100 to 98.

INDULTO SCRAP TLC! POI TITLE Shortridge Beaten by Cathedral in Good Game. One more high school football battle remains on thè locai schedule and thè rooters can tune down their voices a trifle for thè hardwood season where thè players tackle tho ball and not thè man. Cathedral’s expected victory over Shortridge materlalized •’riclay ut Irwin Field. The score was IS to 0. Nothing remains now to get exelted about but thè Mauual and Tech game next Wednesday on thè Butler gridiron. The best has been saved for thè last and a great crowd doubtless will see thè two teams flght it out for thè city title. Each has won from Shortridge. Cathedral ls not in thè running as it is not a public high school. Oithedral high school closed its# season with goal line uncrossed. Shortridge put up a stubbom tight, but could not stop thè open play of thè winners. Cathedral could not make many yards in smashes at thè line, but went around thè ends and hurled passe for its gains. Sisson galloped around thè flunks with his long, easy stride, shaking off tackler. and taking his time in regulation Notre Dame fashion. lUley counted thè first touchdowu in fhe tliird perlod on an end run aster passe had brought thè ball t.o ! thè Shortridge foùr-yard line. Immeciiately afterward he carried thè kick-off from his own ten-yard line •through thè Shortridge eleven for a touchdown. Sisson rambled around thè Shortridge left end for thè last counter. Two forward passes and aa atternpted place kick by O’Haire failed In thè try for point aster touchdown. Smother Attack The Shortridge atack was smothered before it got started by thè Cathedral forwards and Franklin was thè only Blue and White backfield man able to gain any yardage at all. Thatcher showed plent.y of nerve In hls punting and many times got thè ball away when it seeraed certain to be blocked. Gorton’s team carne dose to a score in thè second quarter, when Thatcher’s punt rolled about eighty yards to thè Cathedral three-yard line. Sisson, kicking from behind his own goal line, had his punt blocked, but was lucky to recover thè ball. He got thè ball behind his own goal and took it out to tho two-yard line. He tried again and this time a Cathedral penalty for holding put thè ball on thè one-yard line. The third time proved thè charm and thè big half back kicked out of danger. It wa an exciting timo for tho Blue and Gold rooters. Shortridge never threatened the#Safter. The Shortridge line played a good game. Zaiser, who went out with an injured hand late In thè game, wa In tho Battle every minute and he stood like thè rock of Gibraltar against thè Cathedral rushes. Captain Parsons at center also played ono of hls beat games. In tho Cathedral line-up, O’llaire at quarter, aster falling down in thè first. half, carne back and played a strong game in thè last two perioda. Royse, along with -Sisson and Riley, played
