M. Y. GOVERNOR TO BAR JACK AND GEORGES. REPORT
NEW YORK, Nov. 17. rersons close to Governor-elect Miller declare that should uny attempt be made to etas the proponed Carpentier - Dempsi y championship bout in New York state, riot only will the governor prohibit the match but also may recommend the repeal of the Walker law. "The elements who elected Judg; Miller," this peilfcm stated, "are unalterably opposed to prize fighting. They want to see the Walker law repealed. Boxing promoters allied with Tammany Hall worked against Mr. Miller's election, using propaganda that he would stop all sports. Under such circumstances they cannot expect favors. "The Republican state organization is not enthusiastic over the amount of patronage bestowed on the Tammany jiganization by the Walker law," the same authority declared.

The loser of Sunday's game is automatically eliminated from the race, and on this account Manager Ptamond Is taking no chances. He has called for heavy re-inforccments, as he realises Kerrigan's crew are mlghy dangerous at all times. Krrrlltnn ilgn New Star. Kerrigan's latest college acquisition to the T-N-T lineup is Kedmon, a speed artist who cavorts at halfback.

Harrison A. C. Claims Lake Co. Championship nv i.. m. Last Sunday the Harrison A. C. won from the North Side by a forfeit of I to 0. The crowd of football fans who were there to witness the game were disappointed when the North Side failed to make their appearance.

championship Fince they have met the best teams of the county and have
suffered no defe-ats. The last game on

NEW YORK, Not. 17. Harvard'- big
football eleven, powerful though It la
may find a surprisingly unruly bull dog
In Yale's bowl Saturday.
This was the opinion of a good
many critics today as the coaches of
the rival teams sent their proteges through what may be their last grilling workout at Cambridge and New
Haven.
Yale's decisive defeat at the hands of
Princeton was a hard blow to the blue.
yet there is no reason to believe that the spirit of the Kit 1b broke, or that Coach Tad Jones or his assistants will be unable to weld together the good
materiayt they have at hand and make
out of Tale a better team than that
which faced the Tiger.
In anticipation of her tlg battle with
Harvard it Is possible that Yale can forget for the time being the sting of Princeton's victory and profit from the lessons learned on New Jersey soli. The generalship of the Ells was de
moralised by the Tiger's tidal sweep
and cleverly handled passing assault in the early stages of last week's game. Hut It will be more dlclcult to sweep the bulldogs off their feet by this method next Saturday. And it must not be forgotten that Yale haa been pointed all along for the Harvard game rather than the one with Trlnceton. Harvard's strength Is not to be discounted in the slightest degree. The Crimson will enter Saturday's game a favorite to win. but whether or not Coach Bob Fisher's proteges can defeat Yale aa decisively as did Princeton Is a debatable question and not a few students of the game consider It doubtful. Bob Fisher haa a machine that combines relentless power with consistent football of the well known Harvard Tarlety. The ability of the Crimson shown In the last quarter of Saturday's game against the Tiger haa led aome folks to believe that Harvard haa been "In hiding" all along, yet thia Is not the universal opinion. If she has been, Yale Is In for a very unpleasant time. But don't forget that Yale will fight harder and play better football next Saturday.
