WHILE rowing at high speed up tho harbor late yesterday the coxswain of the second Yale fresh man shell misjudged tho unusually high .tldo and seven of the eight oarsmen struck their heads against one of tho low arches of tho Chapol street bridge Tho men nearly were knocked out of their scats, and tho frail craft narrowly escaped capsiz ing. A medical examination dis closed that nono of tho injuries was serious. By SPICK IIALL "With a Mare of trombones and other fieaf-deallns devices, the Camden flvo will open the Eiutern Basketball League season across tho Delaware this Avenlnr. Bending haa been selected by tho schedule commit Ue to operate In the cage against Henry's quintet In the first scml-local game of 18H-17. According to the unprlnted menu, a band Js to b present at the armory to welcome the guests of tho occasion. This tempera mental tribe will be augmented by Mayor Kills, who haa been picked upon to deliver a short speech (with tho accept on the ad jective) and to toa.Aup tho first ball between Messrs. Dolln and Ilaggerty, the rival cen ters. Colonel Landon, head of tho Borden town, Military Academy, Is also doomed to utter a few- words of encouragement to those tbore assembled. The festivities will begin at 8 o'clock. The first number on the program will bo a basketball game between the General Eleotrlo and the MoAndrews A Forbes fives, of the Camden Industrial League. This con test la put on merely for the purpose of whetting the appetite for the big show to boxne. Both Teams Strong To get down to brazen tacks, both of the contenders f6r this evening's honors are powerful basketball teams. Camden has the same men In the line-up that wero pre vented to the cage-loving publlo last season. But therms a difference. In 1915-16 Pud Henry was persona non grata to tho moguls of the league. Hence the owners, four In number, were forced tos direct the destinies of the team themsolves. Tho result was not au athletlo triumph. This seuson things are different over Camden way, to use one of their own col loquialisms. Henry Is In the good graces of the Eastern League and has been labor ing 'heroically for several weeks to get his team In shape for the double season's grind. Roy Steele and Jackie Adams, the daunt less duo of Bovcral seasons' standing, will occupy tho forward position. As usual, Jackie will toss the fouls, for the former Alphas. His record last season Indicates that ho will once again be well In the van In this department of play. Jack is' a clever doorman, and while he Is not big enough to take an effective part In. the stiff sorlmmages that often occur, there Is not a man In the Baste rn League who ta more valuable In the game than left-handed Jackie, who tosses the fouls and shoots field goals from all angles. Strong at Guard Jimmy Brown and Detain will be at the guard stations.. Their fine records last year, when the team was going badly, In sures the Camden fans a rigid defense plus aomevery acceptable offenso on the part of Brown, the- foremost field goal tosser pf the Eastern League last season. "polln will again Jump center. He will be opposed- In tonight's game by Haggtrty; The battle between that pair will be one of the features of the evening. If past per formances count for anything. Reading's. forwards In tonight's game will probably be Beckraan and O'Oonnell. The former can readily be represented algebra ically by tho letter X, as his movements are unknown, at least uncertain, hence the aforesaid 'probably." Bcckman has prom ised to be with' the Reading team this even ing, but at times he appears to suffer from a lapse of memory and falls to appear as press-agented. If he does put In an appear ance, and thero Is no great reason to be lieve he will not, Reading will have a strong pair at forward. The super-veteran, O'Don nell, Is sure to be there, and, as Is his wont, he will be In shape to play. Andy Bears and Morris .will operate at the defensive salients for tho visiting up Ertatera. Andy played In all of the forty games Indulged In by Reading last season arid emerged with the measly record of only (59 points. Of these, seventy were field goals and 619 foul shots from the IE-foot line: Morris tossed forty-four field goals himself, Just by way of diversion, while he was putting up a brilliant defensive game throughout the year.

POLLOK PLANS TO STAGE THREE TITULAR BOUTS Willard-Wienert, White Welsh and Williams-Ertle Battles Proposed COFFROTH TO ASSIST NEW YORK, Nov. 1. Harry Pollok. manager of Freddie Welsh and Charley Welnert, expects to receive further In formation some time today regarding a proposed carnival of championship boxing contests at TIa Juana, Mex. Welnert and Welsh, according to rol lok, are ready to meet terms which have been submitted by Baron Lang and Jim Coffroth, who are promoting tho bouts. Just as soon as things reach a satisfactory point with the other boxers Joss Wlllard. Johnny KUbane, Johnny Ertle and some opponent for Welsh the papers will be signed. Coffroth and Long expect to stage three finish bouts for three world's cham pionships during the week beginning on New Tear's Bay. It is proposed to send Jess Wlllard, he heavyweight champion, against Charley Welnert, New York chal lenger; Charlie White or some other good lightweight, against Freddie Welsh, the lightweight champion, and to bring Johnny Krtle and Kid Williams, both claimants of the bantamweight championship, together. Pollok wrote the promoters soveral days ago suggesting that the bouts be made twenty rounds each and that all of them be staged on the same day. Pollok will handle tho Now York end of the bouts and will try to get the signatures of boxers ho Is not connected with. He do clared he Is ready to sign for the two men -he represents and he believes he will, be able to get the signatures of .the others. The three bouts would constitute the greatost carnival of boxing for many years and probably would attract the greatest crowd In tho history of the fight game.

ELEVENS entered In the Interncademlo League championship, scries have an extra week In which to prepare for the opening games, as Friday afternoon's schedule has been postponed until the fol lowing week. Penn Charter, the title holder for three consecutive years; Epis copal, Germantown Academy and Friends Central are the Institutions -to vie for tho championship. Coach Ltbe Washburn has a brilliant bunch of moleskin warriors to send Into the fray for tho laurels this year. The Churchmen's aggregation Is composed mostly of voteranB and every player Is In fine fettle. Eplscopal's last contest, that with Bryn Athyn, proved how strong tho team was, when It won an easy victory by the overwhelming scoie of 39 to 0. The Churchmen's line has been strength ened greatly by the shift of Hunt from tackle to center. Ho Is captain of the eleven and Gilbert, Hunt's first handle. Is ono of the most dependable linesmen in Phil adelphia's scholastic or academic ranks.. Earllor In the season Hunt was on the side lines beoause of Injuries, but today It, was announced that the captain was In great condition. Episcopal will play Its first league con test November fO, with Germantown Acad emy. Manager IL B. McCullum Is arrang ing several practice games for tho latter part of this week and by diligent practice Coach Washburn believes his proteges will be In prime form to open tho championship series with a victory. In fact, Washburn, as well as Captain Hunt, and the other players, not only pre dict to win from tho Germantown boys, but they also aro confident of cutting short Penn Charter's consecutive championship playing. The 1916 Intoracademlo League laurels loom up big before tho Episcopal clan. They look forward to tho unfurling of the titular pennant In the vicinity of Broad and Locust streets this year. However, Tutor Washburn is not allow ing the players' confidence to get the better of them. Every afternoon will find thirty or more youngsters In moleskins hustling through signal practice, falling on the ball, punting, drop-kicking and running through scrimmage. Tho Strawbrldgo & Clothier Field, Sixty-second and Walnut streets. Is the Eplscopals' own back yard and tho rrtdlron thera will hn tha irinn nf iha hnm. combats. Price and Kremer are the respective wing men. Washburn believes this pair will prove the fastest and most alert brace of ends In the academic league. When It comes to speed neither Is1 found lacking. They get down tho Held under punts like sprinters in a dash Taco. As receivers of tho forward pass each can take tho ball on tho dead run, and furthermore can hold on to tho pigskin. With the exception of tho ends Eplsco pal's line Is a heavy one. Hentx and Haz left aro the boys who play shoulder to shoulder with Captain Hunt, while Pugh Is holding down a tackle Job, with Addis cov ering the same position on tha opposite side of the line. Washburn has Bhlftcd his players around quite frequently since call ing out candidates, until now tho line Is solected so that he can strengthen the wall no more. No other school has a better bunoh of backfleld material from which to pick a crack quartet and still havo several enpa blo understudies to reply on. Bunn, Dick son, Sellers, Earp, J. Pugh and Frailer, all veterans, are good men to be used be hind the line. The first mentioned four are regulars, with Buhn at quarter; Dickson and Sellers, halfbacks, and Earp, the 'big blonde, at full. Earp la a wonderful line busker. E.Mnm docs ho fall on plunges at center or through any other position on the line. Ho Is a big, strong fellow, and his football Instinct makos him a hard man to tackle. As a punter he. has no peer on the Episcopal team and few superiors on any other aca demic eleven. "Watch Earp" Is the slogan of opposing teams In the course of contests. Scholastic Fumbles THE ETlBCOrAL TKAt probably will have to set alnnir without Hamilton, a llneaman. for the remainder ot the aeaaon.
