12 TWO-GAMES-IN-ONE FOOTBALL AT ISLAND SATURDAY; LEVINSKY-DEMPSEY BOUT TONIGHT "Battling Levinsk" Fights Jack Dempsey Tonight Barney Lebrowitz. better known to the fistic world as "Battling: Le vinsky," a native son ot Philadelphia and a kill-joy to all heavyweight as pirants, arrived home yesterday with his manager. Danny Morgan, ready for his eighteen-minute bout to-night with Jack Dempsey, the western wonder, who recently decimated Fred Fulton in eighteen seconds and is. therefore, now talked of as Amer ican champion. If on the level, this should be one of the best ring encounters witnessed in many years, but you can never tell an umbrella by the cover. Manager Morgan, at least, is sure that his bat tler will be on his feet at the end of six rounds. lie says that his prodigy is too clever to run into any of the western's swings, "and, while Dempsey is swinging. Bat will be get ting in those stinging lefts which have accounted for so many of his victories over much harder hitters than Dempsey." "I don't fear those fellows who try to end the tight in a punch," con tinued Levinsky's manager. "They are the kind that are made for fel lows like Barney. 1 expect the bat tler to show Dempsey a few points in the gentle art of boxing when they meet. Of course Bat may not knock out Dempsey. but it is a cinch bet that Dempsey will not knock out Bat and if, at the end of the bout, the papers don't say that this western phenom has been outpointed I will be a verymuch disappointed and sur prised man." Dempsey came froth his training quarters in Long Branch early this morning. He is just as confident of victory as is Levinsky, but says that he has a hard proposition before him to knock out such a clever man as he is going against to-night. In a talk with him at his quarters yester day he said: "Lot of people think I should be able to positively knock out Levin sky. Do you know of any one who has done so? Levinsky has met vir tually every heavyweight •in the world, yet he has never been knock ed out. Yet they expect that I ought to stop hint. "I want to prove to the fans that I didn't fear Bat when he had the misunderstanding over a bout at Eb bets Field for the Knights of Colum- Peace May Not Be So Very Near, Says Premier Clemenceau Paris. Nov. 6.—M. Clemenceau the premier, was accorded a wonderful ovation in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday as he read the deputies terms of the armistice with Austria- Hungary. He also said terms had been submitted to Germany. "The terms to Germany," said the premier, "are what President Wilson "himself recommended to us for the security of our tboops. the mainten ance of our military superiority, and the disarmament of the enemy inso-* far as that it is necessary to prevent a resumption of hostilities." M. Clemenceau declared that ' peace might not be so near as some might think but that he could, how ever. assure the Chamber that "the fate of the peoples henceforth was fixed." There was prolonged cheer ing when the premier announced that the Allies had obtained the use of all means of typnsport in Austria- Hungary. M. Clemenceau, was hailed as the "father of victory" as he mounted I the tribune to announoe the terms of ' Athletic Work In Army Camps Making Two-Fisted Fighters of Pale City Boys James Clark, Marathon Win ner and Holder of Many Long Distance Records, Now Physical Director at Camp Upton, Says New York Soldiers Will Be Better Men After the War, Because of Training Re ceived There—Urges Sup port of $170,500,000 United War Work Campaign. By JAMES CLARK (First Winner of Brooklyn-Seagate Marathon, Holder of Many Long Distance Amateur Records and V. M. C. A. Physical Director at Camp Upton.) X JEW YORK'S soldier boys who went to Camp Upton are go ing to be better men after the war, because of the physical train ing received there. It has been wonderful to watch them develop; to see the pale office worker be come the bronzed fighting man— the fellow with a punch. To work with the army officers In getting our men In the proper physical condition for the great task before them is only one of many things that has to be done, but it is of supreme importance.! Therefore it was with a great deal of pride that I found myself se lected to represent the Y. M. C. A. in this particular work. If any successes has attended my individ ual efforts, it has been due mainly to the ready response of the boys themselves and the whole-hearted support of the regimental officers who appreciate the efforts of the "Y," the K. of C., the Jewish Wel fare Board, the War Camp Commu nity Service and kindred organiza tions which are working together in the United War Work Campaign for (170,600,000 to enable them to continue their activities.

I hope to outpoint Levinsky and am going to try hard to knock him out." the Austrian armistice. The deputies all stood. The ovation lasted several minutes. During: the address following the reading of the armistice terms there was intermittent cheering, especially when the premier spoke of the ap proach of full victory, the defeat of Austria-Hungary, and the complete glory of France. The usual 'Socialist interruptions occurred, but the aged premier remained unperturbed, de fiantly smothering the taunts of the opposition. The Chamber passed a resolution providing that the speech of M. Clemenceau should be posted throughout France. "What I have done," said M. Clemenceau. "it is France that has done it. I have only made the best use I could of the instruments France has given me. The Superior Council at Versailles has drawn up the terms of an armistice with Ger many. These were sent yesterday to President Wilson, who. if he ap proves them, will make them known to the imperial and democratic gov ernment." At this point the house burst into laughter. "It will then be time enough for Germany to address herself to Koch," the premier added. It was here that the premier de clared that the terms to Germany were inspired, as were those imposed upon Austria, to prevent a resump tion of hostilities in case Germany should break her word. •JAME/* CLAKIC- the groundwork of a training which!

The spirit of competition is a great enliven ing force. Letters I have received from former Camp Upton boys who are now at the front are the best proof of the value of sysmatic physical training.

A golf match between those old ! rivals of the links, WaKer J. Travis I and Kindlay S. Douglas, is now as- 1 sured. Douglas reaffirmed yesterday his i willingness to meet Travis either in singles or in a foursome, and it now j remains only for Cornelius J. Sul livan. chairman of the golf commit ; tee for the drive, to arrange the date and the details, i As Travis declared himself in fa vor of a singles match on Wednes day, and as Douglas stands ready to : do his part, no matter what the con | ditions. a singles match it is sure to be. In all probability this highly inter t esting battle will be waged over the I Garden City links on November 10 ! or November 17. This year's international six-day !

A well- ! known manufacturer has made a 1 proposition to lay a track such as has been in use in Paris for several j years. It is claimed that a papier j mache track has more durability, in sures greater speed and costs much 1 less than a wooden track. The in . ventors promise a demonstration be -1 fore November 10. Right now it is i only a question of securing the prop ! er material. A 10-lap track requires about 40,000 square feet of material. It is built in sections and can be put into shape for racing in five hours. It takes about 48 hours to construct a board track and it becomes worth less after a race. Pittsburgh, Nov. 6. —The Univer- ' sity of Pittsburgh squad worked out ; behind locked gates yesterday after- | ' noon in preparation for the season's inaugural next Saturday against Washington and Jefferson. Scrim- i j mage took up the biggest part of the 1 ; afternoon, and when it was over ; ! Warner expressed himself as well 1 pleased. However, he would give no i inkling of the lineup, j It is presumed that he will start j his veteran backtield, consisting of ! Captain McLaren, Gougler, Easter day and Pitler. If any change is I made it probably will be In favor of i Tom Davies, the Kiski star, who has been showing great form in all the practice sessions. In the line there will be at least tour veterans, with Stein, Mervis and i Harmon, new men, to fill it out. Penn and Georgia Tech scoiwfc will not see much of Pitt's play that they are not already familiar with, for j Warner will keep as much under | cover as possible in his first game of the season. Changed Her Mind in Casting First Vote New York, Nov. 6.—Mrs. Carrie : Chapman Catt, president of the Na tional American Woman Suffrage Association and Miss Mary Garret Hay, president of the New York City Woman Suffrage party, cast their first votes yesterday. Mrs. Catt said she went to the polls de termined to vote for Governor Whit man because "he stood by us and I am going to stand by him." After she voted she announced she had, however, split her ticket, having "suddenly changed my mind regarding voting a straight Repub lican ticket." "I have labored thirty years to get a vote," Mrs. Catt added. "I feel that the privilege of voting was worth all the struggle and thi cost." It was reported that more than 25 per cent, of the city's woman voters had balloted by 10 a. m. am. jubilation was expressed over thio showing. ! >i Picked Soccer Team of Canadians to Meet Bethlehem Steel w York, Nov. B.—The inva sion of the United States by a picked soccer team representing Canada to play the champion Beth lehem Steel Company at Harrison field. Harrison, N. J„ on Novem ber 17. has stirred up tremendous enthusiasm among all soccer men in and around this district. The entire proceeds of the game, which will attract a large crowd, will be handed over to swell the Uni ted War Work funds. The offer, which came from the i Tofonto Sportsmen's Patriotic As- , sociatlon, an organization which handled the sports end of Can- i ada's War Work fund, was adapt ed at a special meeting of the New Jersey State Football Asso ciation.' held in Newark, N. J., last Saturday. Chairman P. J. Mulqueen con ceived the idea of sending a Can adian team here to aid in our campaign. The famous steel . workers will be put to a sgvere test in tackling the Canadians, as the players from the Dominion have many star artists in their ranks. All the expenses of'the visit of j the Maple Leaf boys will be borne by the patriotic sons of Canada, which is deserving of the great- ; est praise, and their generorsity i would at least be rewarded by a I record crowd turning out to see the first game against a Canadian [ team on American soil.

J. Sack, director of the Russian Information Bureau, on the author ity of the Russian embassy at Wash ington The gold, representing two-thirds of the reserve in the Russian treas ury when the Bolsheviki gained con trol of the capital late in 1917, was transported by them to Kazan and thence to Samara. Agents of the Omsk government, obtaining posses sion of It, took the metal to Omsk. News of the coup was cabled to Washington by I. A. Michailoff, sec retary of finance at Omsk, Mr. Sack said. The Omsk government according to recent advices from Russia, Is rapidly gaining recognition among the. antl-Bolshevlk councils as the nucleus for a conservative govern ment.

Two-Cylinder Football Arranged For Island Field on Saturday Get set to take lit the uncommon football show at the Island on Sat urday; It will be a regular freak and well worth the small price of ad mission. This is the plan of enter tainment—a royal battle twixt Tech and The Bellefonte Academy lads, and In between quarters another battle, Tech scrubs versus Oberlln High School. Athletic Director f'ercy | Grubb sat up nights doping out this ; fantastic idea and one thing Bdre ■ about it, no one will leave the Island 1 oval unsatlated with the rough sport. This odd arrangement will also give the Harrlsburg fan a chance to gauge the second division Tech boys, who rank nearly as swift and perfect In strategy as the 'varsity* huskies. Indeed, too much cannot be said of the superiority of Tech football this American cemetery at Sureznes, seven miles northwest of Paris. The cortege was composed of many American officers and soldiers, Y. M. C. A. and Knights of Co year and what the local enthusiasts' would like to see is a match with some good college team, for no prep school, so far, has been able to give Tech a tryout. The revival of this rugged sport means great activity from now on to Thanksgiving Day when Steelton is to play, although In days ;-• by It I was always Central High. To-mor ! row It Is proposed to play an ex- I hibition game at the Academy, Tech | being accustomed to do this in other years. Academy, under Coach Rudliil, is beginning to take on steam and weight and this afternoon It had a tussle on with West End. Weeks have passed since the Academy was In session but the athletes have kept In pretty fair trim. turabus workers, the mayor and many of the civilian inhabitants of the loculity. Graves of American soldiers were covered with flowers and flags during the afternoon.
