WHILE the enthusiasts at Cambridge are wondering If Tale and Harvard will have to play aquatic football today, the rest of us detained in Gotham to watch events of Importance hereabout this afternoon and evening are Indulging in similar queries. Prophet Jones or whatever his name la mni to have disappeared from Jersey. He has made so many wrong guesses lately that disappointed sport have offered a reward for his scalp, so It Is believed that he has gone riding. L.t us hope that he took with him the weather Jinx. THE OPENING of the indoor athletic season at the Thirteenth Regiment Armory in New York tonight will attract some big fellows. Drew, Meyer,
Rosenberger and Helland are all in pretty fine condition a-nd an exciting HO-yard dash is ' expected. Donald Lipptncott, the University of Pennsylvania flyer, la also expected to do a few stunts on his own account. A BRILLIANT array of talent from the eastern colleges is on hand for the Intercollegiate Athletic association's cross-country run this afternoon. Tape, Princeton and Cornell are expects dto put up the most brilliant performance. Michigan, the only western representative. Is, however, named as the dark horse for big honors. "WORD COMBS from the west that the Pacific coast sports are delighted with the treatment Willie Ritchie ha received in the east. There have been innumerable "popular" boxers, but it is doubtful if ever there was one so highly thought of as the present holder of the lightweight title. For a newcomer, even though he is the ehamploa .to break Into New Tork core an instantaneous hit is considerable feat. But that Is just what Ritchie did. He is possessed of that attrac
tive personality which makes friends, and once 'having them retains them. IN ADDITION to the Tale-Harvard game the other important contests today are: Gophers vs. Illinois at Champaign. Chicago vs. Wisconsin at Chicago. Carlisle at Syracuse. Stanford vs. Southern California at Los Angeles.

Bloomington, Ind., Nov. 22. Wearing large sized numbers on their backs, which were fastened to their Jerseys, the Indiana squad held its final workout of the season on Jordan field last night for the Purdue game today. The practice consisted principally of running down on the kickoff. The field is perfectly dry, as there has been no rain for a week and weather conditions promise to be Ideal. Several thousand seats have been sold. There will be two special trains from Lafayette and one from Indiana
polis. Just before the game starts the
students and townspeople will present
Jimmy Sheldon with a handsome loving cup, as the game today winds up his eight years' career here. The Purdue squad arrived this morning.
STRANGLER GONE;
CUTLER BOUT OFF?
Wrestler Lewis Leaves Aft er Being Matched With Cutler.
There was consternation among Chi
cago wrestling promoters yesterday
when It was discovered that "Strang'
ler" Ed Lewis, now matched to meet Charley Cutler here "Wednesday night, had left for Louisville, Ky., there to meet Young Olson. This was a direct
violation of the articles of agreement in the Cutler affair, both principals having bound themselves with for
feits of $260 not to wrestle before
Wednesday night.
At the time the local articles were
signed it was understood by the loc&V
people that Lewis had called oft his
Louisville match, which he spoke of
at the time. But yesterday it was dis
covered that Lewis and his manager, Jerry Walls, had departed.

LOSES IN HEIGHT
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 22. John
Coombs, one of the star pitchers of the
Philadelphia American league club
will be one-sixteenth of an inch short
er in stature by reason of the illness
that kept him out of the garde al last
season. This fact was established
when an X-ray photograph of his
spine was taken at the University of Pennsylvania. Coombs is sitting up a
short time each day and expects soon to be taken to his farm in Maine. The
doctors say he will gain strength rap
idly and that next year he will be as
good as ever as a pitcher.

The championship battles between
Chicago and Wisconsin on Stagg field
in the central west, the struggle between Yale and Harvard at Cambridge
in the east, and the battle between
Iowa and Nebraska for supremacy
west of the Mississippi river will bring
the most successful football season
since 1905 to a close today.
Several others games are scheduled
but they are of minor Importance compared to the three title contests. Western and local interest will center
around the annual clash between Chi
cago and Wisconsin. With the conference championship at stake and both teams coached to the height of football perfection, nothing but a close
and hard fought battle can be ex
pected.
The Maroons rule favorites because
of their victory over Minnesota, the
team which defeated the Badgers three
weeks ago. Although supporters of
the Midway aggregation are offering
liberal odds on the result, the unlooked
for surprise may happen, as the Badg
ers are fit and ready for their most
important battle of the year.
Champaign. 111., Nov. 22. Illinois is ready for its big task today to attempt to halt the confident Gophers. Last night the Ilini practiced briefly before 3,000 enthusiasts. The Illinois band furnished music, and "Go for the Gophers," the slogan of the game, was chanted. From all appearances, the Illini are nerved up to fight gamely, but the most that any enthusiast expects is to hold the Invades either to a tie or to a low score. No dreams of 1
victory allure Zuppke's squad. The great local sorrow is the absence of the wonderful Pogue. It had been repeatedly said that he could not
play, but the rooters had a sneaking ,
hope that he would be put In at the !
last minute. With Pogue in they could see a ray of hope. But Pogue's shoulder is too sore to run the risk. "Dutch"
Wagner's development has been rapid in the two weeks he has niloteri the I
team, and Zuppke could be a lot worse off at quarter back. The Minnesota team will arrive this morning from Chicago.

ILLINI Alfil TO BATTLE
GOPHEjnO A TIE
Zuppke's Team Dares Not
Hope for Victory With Pogue Out of Game.
Urbana, 111., Nov. 22. University of Illinois rooters, 3.000 in all, led by the
military band, marched to the foot
ball field yesterday and cheered the squad in its last practice of the year.
Zuppke's men practiced formations
and seemed to have plenty of "pep"
despite the summer weather.
Illinois apparently is keyed up for
a grim battle against the invading
Gophers. While Pogue cannot end his
remarkable 1918 gridiron career, "Dutch" Wagner's development has
been rapid, and he is groomed to ex
cel his performances against Purdue.
Two veterans. Captain Rowe and Wil son, play thei rlast games today.
While the Ililni have admittedly
shown improvement this week, no one cares to predict victory over the Gophers and Illinois is expected to be
fighting up hill all the time.
MAY POUNCE ON AD KOLGAST Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 22. Ad Wolgast's announcement that he would be unable to box for a month is to make trouble for him. His case will be put up to the boxing commission because of this and the ex-champion may draw a. six months' lay off for his trouble. Wolgast's act in postponing the contest again after suggesting the date aroused a storm of protest and it was hinted that the ex-titleholder deliberately suggested December 8 because he was of the opinion that White was tied up with other matches.
BORRELL WHIPS RYAN Philadelphia, Pa, No. 22 Joe Borrell, the Kensington middleweight, scored his second victory of the week when he banded "Battling Larry" Ryan of New York a licking in a sixround bout at the Nonparlel A. C last night. The New Yorker proved himself to be game, but that was all.

Oxford, England, Nov. 22. A. N. S.
Jackson, dean of the Oxford university athletes and treasurer of the Oxford
University Athletic club, denies that
the new rules limiting the eligibility
of Rhodes scholars to compete in uni
versity sports are the direct outcome
of recent victories by Rhodes stu
dents He says the matter waa dts
cussed in 1911 and that unless some
action along this line had been taken
the Oxford University Athletic club
would have ceased to exist, because all
the energy and enthusiasm of the public school boy would have been damp
ened. Lord Desborough expresses ap
proval of an aere limit for competitors
in all university sports. He says it is
not fair to run men who have been in competition tor four years against those who have been in athletics only three years.
