ANOTHER VICTIM
Packey Punches Kid Albert About at Will for Ten Rounds.
Waterbury, Conn., Nov. 21. Packey McFarland of Chicago easily defeated Kid Alberta of New York here last night at the Auditorium in a tenround bout. It wai Pttckey's bout from start to finish and at no time was he forced to extend himself. Alberts took everything McFarland sent over and was willing: at all times to mix It with the Chicagoan, but was simply outclassed. McFarland Jabbed and uppercutted Alberts at will and simply toyed with him. Neither man showed much damage after the bout. Knockout Sweeney of New Tork put Billy Allen of Canada away in the third round of the semi-final.
the one man most feared among the Badger forwards, and if that husky tackle Is able to open holes in the Maroon line chances for getaways for the goal are certain.
HARVARD
FINAL POLISH FOR filARjONS TODAY Light Practice of Plays and Talk by Stagg to Complete Work.
IS 10 TO 7
FAVORITEJVER YALE Crimson Supporters Offer $10,000 in New York; Betting Is Light.
The final practice session of the season will be held on Stagg field this afternoon. With a final polishing of the plays, a little advice from Director Stagg. and examinations by the trainers at the Midway camp, the Maroons will await their dispute with ' the Badgers, which begins tomorrow at 2 p. m. There are some improvements which could be made by his men, according to the Midway director, but they are well drilled, are In the best of condition, and have plenty of "pep." The expected slump of the Midway warriors after their tussle with Minnesota did not materialize and the same spirit which marked their trip to Minneapolis was displayed on the field yesterday. After a long se.jret drill and demonstration of Badger " plays Director Stagg gave each man on the team a final summltis up of his failures and cautioned him abqut the duties expected of him during the game. With constant drilling the Maroons are conversant with the majority of the plays on Coach Juneau's repertory, and unless the Wisconsin mentor springs a few , surprises it may be counted on that the Maroons will cover the main attack of their opponents.

New Tork, Nov. 21. Plenty of money was offered in Wall street yesterday
on the Harvard-Yale football game Saturday, but not a great deal of actual betting took place, for Yale men wanted better odds than were Quoted. On the curb it was reported that Harvard men were offering $10,000 to 10 to 7. The Yale men wanted 10 to 6 and there was not much Yale money in sight even at the odds. Fred Schumm, one of the leading betting commissioners, said he could only quote odds of 10 to 8 on Harvard. Yesterday his odds were 10 to 7. He reported Yale money rather slow, but said there was an abundance of money offered by the Crimson supporters. About $1,000 was placed during the day. There were offerings of large amounts, ' ranging from $500 to $1,000 even, that Harvard would not score eight points; that Yale would not make a touchdown; that Harvard would kick the first field goal; that the total score would be odd and that Harvard's score would double that of Yale. University of Pennsylvania, which has been a favorite at 2 to 1 over Cornell, was a 3 to 1 shot over the Ithacans.
all in fine condition and he announced there will be no change in the lineup, Glossop will be retained in the back field and Bischop will play center. The squad assembled around a tackling dummy yesterday and set fire to the stuffed figure, thus celebrating the closing of the season. Betting Is strongly In favor of Purdue and expectations are that the Boilermakers will play their best game against their old rivals. -

"GET INDIANA" PURDUE CRY Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 21. The stars and stripes which for two years have floated over the campus of Purdue university, are not waving now, but In place of a flag a huge pennant inscribed "Get Indiana" fluttered in the breezes.

A., commandant of the Purdue cadet corps, learned it was fastened securely, he refused to allow the flag of the United States to be hoisted. A ruling of the war department prohibits ther flying of any ' flag above the stars and stripes.
