COLLEGE DAY AT ISLAND PARK ATTRACTS MANY FOOTBALL ENTHUSIASTS TO CITY
NO FAKE FIGHT
IS FANS' CLAIM
O'Dowd Was Clever Fighter;
Regained Title For
"Irish Race
New York, Nov. 17. —Rumors are
flying thick and fast that all was
not right in the O'Dowd-McCoy fight
last night. Dame Rumor has it that
the former champion "laid down."
But the fans who were at the fight
give the lie to these rumors. It
was a case of a better man winning.
O'Dowd was McCoy's master at every
stage of the battle. He floored him
time and again, drove him back
with hard punches, finally winding
Up the festivities in the sixth round.
By his victory O'Dowd brought
back the middleweight championship
to the Irish lace, a feat which has
not been performed since Jack
Dempsey lost to Bob Fitzsimmons
over a score of years ago.
Fitting Climax
The victory was a fitting climax
to the passing of the Frawley law
putting an end to legalized boxing
in New York state. '
Club bouts —before clubs which
have a paid membership—will now
bo the rule. Governor Whitman has
gone on record as favoring bouts
before such clubs. One of the best
In the state is the Queensbury A. C.,
of Buffalo, which has an active mem
bership running into the thousands.
The officials hope to have a mem
bership of 30,000 before the first pf
the year.
Efforts are being made to stage
battles between champions and chal
lengers. Benny Leonard, the light
weight champion, is the target for
most of the challenges. Freddie
Welsh wants to do a "come back"
against his conqueror. He is willing
to wager sr>,ooo on the outcome of
the battle. Benny may give the Eng
lish tighter a return engagement, but
it is a question whether Welsh's
backers will risk $5,000 on the form
er champion's chances. Johnny Dun
dee also wants a crack at the cham
pion.
It is likely that New Orleans will
see some good bouts this winter,
especially during the racing season.
Giants Release Lobert;
Third Baseman Is Out
New York, Nov. 17. —Hans Lo
hert has been given his uncondi
tional release by the Giants. As Lo
bert goes, VVid Conroy comes back
to New York in the capacity of
coach and assistant to Miller Hug
gins, of the Yankees.
Lobert came to the Giants in 1915
in the deal that sent Catcher Ad
ams, Stock and Demaree to thej
Phillies. McGraw was in dire need.
of a third baseman, but Lobert never
gave him much assistance, at it turn- j
ed out that his final season with'
the Pl- : '. i j was his final year as a
real ig leaguer. Thirteen years of
service had left Lobert's 32-year-old
hones a bit brittle. Now, at the age |
of 35, Lobert seeks a position as:
manager, and we hope he lands.

THE OUT-OF-DATE
Of all the days that ever were
Since Moses framed the ancient code,
Or vanished years that knew the tetir
Of Caesar's legions down the road
Take all the eons that have flown,
From drudge-pit to the laureled brow,
Above all ages Time has known,
There's no place for the Quitter now.
Start back to where the Cave Man ruled
The first gray dawn of rugged life,
Where each raw clan In turn was schooled
To stand against an endless strife.
Through reigns of terror and of gore,
Through shattered faith and broken vow,
Far less than Time has known before
There's no place for the Quitter now.
The world has known its share of pain,
Its share of Vandals and of Huns,
The world for ages now has laid
Beneath the echo of the guns;
But since within the world's dim dawn
Our fathers leaped from bough to bough,
Through all the terror Fate has drawn,
• There's less room for the Quitter now.
ON EBACKFIELD
As if there were not enough argument and rebuttal now going on in the
realm of things, a query comes in as to what four men should constitute the
greatest backfield that ever played.
Out of only two thousand or three thousand entries, this, of course, is nn
easy choice.
And yet, as each citizen is entitled to his guess, estimate or opinion, we
are willing to offer ours, viz.:
Quarterback —Eckersall, Chicago. ,
Halfbacks—Heston, Michigan; Thorpe, Carlisle.
Fullbafck —Coy, of Yale.
It is conceivable enough that a roar should emanate from Harvard that
neither Malian nor Brickley was named.
Yet which one of the above four could be crowded out?
Neither Princeton nor Pennsylvania has an entry to displace any mem
ber of this quartet, not overlooking the backfield stars that Both have pro
duced.
Brickley and Mahan would come closer to wedging their way in, but We
stick by our original choice.
Imagine a defense that had to stand up in front of Heston, Coy and
Thorpe, with Eckersall driving them along!
Of the lot, three were great kickers—two, Coy and Heston, were line
breakers of smashing power—and three, Thorpe, Heston and Eckersall,
were whirlwinds through a broken field.
AX OLDTIME AFFAIR
The Penn-Michigan affair set for Saturday at Philadelphia begins to
look like an oldtime affair.
After a disastrous start, Penn has pulled together again and has been
improving week by week.
Michigan looks to have the better chance to win, but. there will he no
I Wolverine walkovei*, despite the power and machine-like play of Yost's
j eleven.
! Yost, with so many veterans lost from last year's squad and so much
j new material, has turned out a wonderful job—but his hardest tost comes
i in checking H. Berry & Co. at Franklin Field.
In the meanwhile, discovering some opponent, husky enough to give
jCupe Black's team a battle will keep at least one committee busy. Cupe
; and his Newport naval entourage look to be the strongest machine in the
| land. If not,_ who has the proper answer?
THE REMAINING STYMIE
Winter soon drives, in broken flight,
The golfer from his summer station;
At least can't stop his conversation.
But winter, whatso'er Its blight,
At frozen greens he soon may balk;
But he can talk—and talk —and talk.
The only all-American team to be applauded this season is the one
! poised to break through the line or circle an end in France.
I ■ New war motto—When in doubt, dig in and wait.
The pen may be mightier than the sword, but Dr. Yost expects to re
| verse the motto Saturday and prove that the Michigan is mightier than the

here to see this big game This was
one big battle that war did not stop.
Stars were enlisted from both var
sity elevens but the game went on
just tho same this afternoon.
That llarrisburg was to stage
something unusual was in evidence
soon after 9 o'clock this morning
when automobile parties began ar
riving for the big football game
which was played this afternoon on
the Island field. Later on came autos
filled with boys and girls from
Lewisburg, the camping grounds of
Bucknell's contingent. Colors were
flying everywhere.
Crowds on Special Trains
At 11 o'clock this morning the
special trains arrived. One came
from Gettysburg with several hun
dred students and a band and there
was a parade, the students singing
and cheering. With the Battlefield
warriors was a military unit that at
tracted much attention and was a
feature at the game this afternoon.
Shortly after the arrival of the
Battlefield student body the Buck
nell followers breezed into town.
They were accompanied by their
crack school band and at once be
MATERIAL SHORT,
BASEBALL HURT
Minor League Conditions Will
Bring Woe to Majors 1
Next Season
New York, N. Y., Nov. 17.—The
annual meeting of the National As
sociation in Louisville appears to
have been quite a "bust." The end
of the conference found minor
league conditions nowise Improved
from the chaos that prevailed
throughout last season and which
forced a number of the smaller!
minor organization to suspend.
In the proposed plans for redis
tribution of minor league territory,
which was voted down 9 to 2, the
great majority of the humbler cir
cuits saw the possibility of light
ahead. With this hope gone there
seems little to be done in their case
but to close shop during the period
of the war at least.
It seems doubtful, Indeed, whether
the International League will at
tempt to operate next season. Four
of the clubs are pretty thoroughly
discouraged over present conditions.
These were willing to step aside for
their conferees to join hands with i
the American Association in the 1
contemplated amalgamation. It
was those Association clubs which
were to be left out in the cold that;
balked the plan.
Majors Will Suffer
Furthermore major league base
ball in the end must suffer propor
tionately with the minor conditions.
The National and American could
not long maintain their high stand
ards of play if new material was not
being educated. The present utais
have but a limited course to run.
Once the big fellows lose the claus
which distinguishes them from the
bushers, just so soon will the public
resent an inferior article of piay at
major league prices.
Some sixty major league players
are already enrolled in war service.
The number is likely to be doubled
or trebled by spring. This circum
stance may help to solve the
rof,te> problem of the big fellows to
a degree, but only minor activity can
develop fitting substitutes. Unless
the National Commission, acting for
the major leagues, can influence the
National Association to display
slightly more sentiment toward the
obscure minor leagues organized
baseball throughout is bound to suf
fer.
Evers Holds On
Though all the Major League clubs
have waived on the services of
Johnny Evers, who finished the sea
son with the Phillies, the noted Tro
jan will not receive his uncondi
tional release for some days. This
information was vouchsafed by John
A. Hevdler, secretary of the National
League, to-day.
As early as the world's series it
was rumored that Evers would man
age tlio Bpston Red Sox next season
if it should happen that Jack Barry
was culled Into the service to which
he volunteered. Barry has been
called to the colors and it is doubt
ful if he will be able to continue
as pilot of the former world's cham
pions.
Out St. Louis way the critics de
clare that Branch Rickey is seriously
considering Evers as manager of the
Cardinals. With two such open
ings it is reasonable to suppose that
John J., of Troy, will land on his
feet before the opening of another
nucor league campaign.

tween the two schools was again
displayed upon the arrival of tho
cheering squads on the Island, each
student body tried to outdo tho
other in cheering and the bands
helped to keep things lively by
playing popular airs.
Bucknell Favorites
The Bucknell eleven went into
the fray favorites over their op
ponents. Despite the fact that the
Lewisburg team is outweighed by
the Battlefield boys 15 pounds to
the man they have played better ball
in the early season games and are
looked upon to come out victorious
in the annual gridiron fray.
Gettysburg with this advantage in
weight is trying to defeat her old
time foes and on the other hand
Bucknell will attempt to avenge the
defeat of last year. Since tho de
parture of Rote the Gettysburg
backfleld has been weakened as last
year this fleet-footed quarter scored
most of Gettysburg's points.
Promptly at 2.30 o'clock Referee
Eberle blew the whistle for Ihe
game to commence and then tho
battle royal was started.

Shay Offers Defense
on Murder Charge
Indianapolis, Nov. 17.—The state
bad practically completed its case
when court adjourned last evening
in the trial of Dan Shay, former
American Association baseball man
ager, charged with murder for the
death of Clarence Euell, negro waiter

the cafe on the night of the killing,
on the stand this afternoon. She is
regarded as the defense's star wit

Police officers who arrested

they believed Shay was under the in
