In the league, however, are only the Hammond. Pine Village and Wabash A. A. tams, as the Friar club manager would not agree to play on any gridiron but the Ft. Wayne field. The managers of the three teams Claire Rhode, representing, Pine Village; Billy Jones, m-inier cf the Wabash A. A., and Frank Blocker, manager of the Ham-m-nd team met at Lafayette and completed the organization of the league. Each team will meet the other league teams twice during the season. The rules call for only eighteen men in suits on each team, and the managers must subrr.it a list of players to the managers of the other team at least five days before the game. While the league season has not been announced, still all teams of the league will play some outside eleven Sept. 30. Fine Village opens Its football season at league park in Lafayette Sunday, Sept. SO. -when Carl Rhode's aggregation meets the Peoria (111.) Sociables, one of the etrottgest professional football teams ever developed in Illinois. Rhode's team is practicing at Pine

WISCONSIN BARS LIPPE'S BOXERS MILWAUKEE. WIS.. Sept. 26 Fighters under the management of Al Lippe of New York will not be allowed to box in the state of Wisconsin in the future. The alleged failure of Lippe to post Jeff Smith's forfeit money for the latter's bout with Harry Greb here recently and his refusal to appear before the board for a hearing resulted in the action. As a result the proposed bout between To.m fowler. New York heavy weight, and Fred Fulton cf Minnesota some time during the early part of next month has been canceled.

DG1C TICKLES DOWNEY D8WK STATE TONIGHT

HARVARD STARTS FOOTBALL DRILL CAMBRIDGE. MAPS.. Sept. 26 Only twenty candidates reported for Harvard s 'informal" varsity football team when fall practice began yesterdays In other years from sixty to eighty men have come out on the flrst rail. Snow at guard. Liken at end. and Flynn at tackle were the only members of the old squad to report.

Billy ("Goats") Doig is goin to make an effort to combat successfully with Bryan Downey, the well-known Columbus welterweight, in a downstate ringr tonight. Downey has more of a reputation than any fellow Doig ever tackled and the Spring Valley c,hap is in for a rough, tough evening, win or lone. Downey is generally favored by the wise ones because of greater experience against high-class boys. Doig is a rugged warrior and can clout some, so it ought to be a lively and interesting fracas. Doig has met parties who can box as well if not better than Downey. Tommy Sheehan, whom Doig trimmed a few weeks ago, is more skillful in glove play than Bryan. But the latter is a real fghter who can Jam up a foe and is busy all the while.

LAFAYETTE, IND., Sept. 26. Twenty-two men turned out for football practice at Purdue Monday afternoon, the squad being much larger than last week. Coach O'Donnell was gratified to find the increase in numbers and is encouraged to believe that he will have at least a few dependable substitutes, despite the fact that last wei k s poor showing made it appear that the goiler Makers would l ave practically no second string men. Olmstead reported yesterday afternoon, and it is almost certain that he will he a fixture at center this season. Spencer, the big sophomore guard, is still hard at work preparing for a test to remove his condition and make himself eligible to play. Huffine, the big fullback, made his first appearance in uniform yesterday and seemed to be in fine condition. All of the candidates are exhibiting plenty of ginger and seem to be in fair condition for so early in the season. Coach O'Donnell expects to hegin scrimmage 'work Friday of Saturday of this week.
