LIEUT COLLEGE GRID CARD IS SCHEDULED ON EASTERN FIELDS

Unusually High-Class Games 1 for Early Season —Fea- * ture at Yale. BY HENRY L. FARRELL Vnltcd Press Staff Corresvondcnt NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—The foothall card for the third Saturday in October provides the best list of games ever scheduled this early in the season. Mid-October used to find the first- j class elevens stilll meeting thirdclass competition. But football has spread so tremendously within re-1 cent years that the number of “set- j ups’’ has dwindled, and the great gridiron teams no longer can afford ] to train for stiff November engagements on mediocre opposition. Four games will be played Saturday which may be found later to have settled the mythical eastern football championship. Dartmouth meets Yale; Syracuse plays the Army; Georgetown meets West Virginia and the Navy encounters Princeton. Many fans already believe that the Yale and Dartmouth Elevens are the class of the East. The Big Green team, undefeated for two seasons, wilt come down to New Haven ■with a much changed line-up from that) with which Coach Jess Hawley developed the uncrowned championship aggregation of 1925. Yale will meet Dartmouth with Hawley plays. In its last game the Eli uncorked a passing and off tackle game resembling closely that taught by the Hanover coach. What the eleven will do in the face of Its own style of attack is unknown but the betting slightly favors Dartmouth. Syracuse has rolled up grent scores on its early opponents, but the first real test of the upstate New York eleven comes in the battle with the always dangerous Cadets. West Virginia, which has cleaned up thus far, will run into sturdy Competition from Georgetown, which, despite its tie with Pitt, looked' like one of the outstanding elevens of the year. \ Princeton will meet a revitalized Navy team and will have to improve over last Saturday’s play to prevent . another Big Three team from going down to defeat. ’The big eastern teams also are'well represented in intersections! play. Pennsylvania's two aspirants for championship honors —the University of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania State—tackle two of the leading mid-west elevens. Penn will play Chicago while Penn State will engage Notre Dame. New York City’s teams, representing Columbia 1 and New York University, are to play their first hard games of the season, the former meeting Ohio State and the latter Tulane. Columbia seems doomed to defeat, while N. Y. U., which has bne of the stiffest schedules of the year, is an even money choice with Tulane' LEADING HOPPE Rfi United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—Andrew St. Jean still leads Willie Hoppb In their exhibition three-cushion billiard match here.

Emerson will undoubtedly offer Wabash the strongest opposition of the year, and Wabash, in the eyes of many critics, is the ; one team In Indiana ready to meet : Emerson at present* The mythical State championship of Indiana will, to no small extent, rest upon the outcome of the Emer-son-Wabash game, as the winner will have better than an even chance to finish the season undefeated. It has always been the custom for every undefeated Indiana jirep team to claim the State title. * Emerson showed power in holding the famous Mooseheart (111.) Academy to a 6-G tie Saturday, and by trirhming #luncle by the topheavy count of 42-0. Wabash has yet to be held to a low score by any team. Several other goetd games are scheduled for Saturday, but none offer the possibilities of the WabashEmerson fracas.

SHARKEY QUEER MIXTURE OF STEEL, BOYISHNESS Weeps When He Fails to Knock Out Wills Chances Against Tunney Appear Slim.

Hu Times Soeclal NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—1n the surprise and rather general gratification which attended the finish of Harry Wills' career as a championship contender, the performance of the young Lithuanian lad who whipped the big Negro was somewhat overlooked. Jack who was christened Joseph Carl Kucoskey at his birthplace near Memel some twenty-three years ago, was hailed the day following the fight, however, as the heavyweight best fitted to fight Gene Tunney for the title next March. The young Bostonian, who served four years in the Navy, is a queer mixture of steel and boyishness. When the referee stopped his fight with Wills because of the Negro’s foul tactics, Sharkey burst into tears. “1 feel like a baby,” he said afterwards. “I was getting set for a knock-out, and luck took it away from me and I just broke down urid cried for a minute.” Against the towering Negro, who outweighed him by some thirty-five pounds, and who could handle him like an infant in the clinches, Sharkey showed the other side of his character. His eyes of steeel blue fairly stared the leering Wills out of countenance. “Once I had a good squint at Harry, I knew the fight was over,” explained ,Jack. “He couldn't meet my eyes.” Another picture of this new threat to Gene Tunney’s supremacy comes to mind. Sharkey and his manager, Johnny Buckley, were down from Boston to present the fighter’s claims to a match with Tunney some time before the latter fought Jack Dempsey. It was in the offices of the boxing commission. Sharkey presented a contract calling for him to box Tunney. “Are you pretty good?” asked Commissioner Muldon, rather sarcastically. “Who? Me? No, I'm not much," replied Hharkey. “Who did I ever lick that amounted to anything?” It was unprecedented conversation from a prize fighter. /The conqueror of Harry Wills has licked some good men. however. Besides the Negro, ho beat Jack Renault, George Cook, Jim Maloney, King Solomon, Johnny Rlsko, Eddie Huffman and Big Black George Godfrey. him defeat Wills.

onies, her husband, while the elder Kucoskey hails from Bir.ghampton, N. Y. “Get me Tunney,” was Jack’s first request, aft 'r he had dried tears of disappointment over missing a knock-out. A sailor can lick a leatherneck, any day.” It will take more than the alleged supremacy of the gobs over the Marines to make /Sharkey world's champion if he meets Tunney. The Lithuanian is a two-handed fighter, a clever boxer and one who is not afraid to mix It savagely when stung into action. In 'fighting Wills he ran in, hid his head on th£ big black chest and pummelled away for all he was worth. Against Tunney he presumably would have to fight differently. Sharkey has a left hook and knows how to cross with his right to the head. But against Wills he did not show a devastating knock-out punch —nothing as hard as the blows which Jack Dempsey, as bad as he was, hurled at Tunney in Philadelphia. The new champion having taken Dempsey’s blows, has little to fear from Sharkey In the way of a knock-out. Presumably the Bostonian would figure upon outpointing Tunney in a championship tight. It Is doubtful if he could. If Sharkey went into him wide open, as he did with Willis, Tunney would break him in two. Persistence and splendid condition helped Sharkey beat Wills. Confidence Is asset. I Aside from a greater tendency towards nervousness, Tunney certainly would have all these with him in defending his title, anil as for the rest he shapes up as fully Sharkey’s equal as a boxer and a harder hitter.
