NEW YORK TO
HAVE FOOTBALL
Columbia Will Get Into Grid
Game Next Year; Many
Eligibles
New Trk, Oct. 16,—When Colum
bia re-enters the football world on a
large scale next Fall It Is going to
' mean a much broader participation
than was at first expected when the
university authorities lost week sanc
tioned unlimited competition, Hester
C, Danielson, the graduate manager
of athletics, announced last night that
the number of students eligible for
football beginning with the season of
3920 would be nearly three times as
great as tho number eligible during
the present year.
Followers of the gridiron game, and
particularly Columbia alumni, hare
come to realise within the last few
d3ys that for the first time since 1905
the city Is to have "big league"
games. Boston has had its Harvard
teams and Philadelphia has had sat
isfactory games with the University
of Pennsylvania, playing there local
ly. but since 1905, when the last big
Columbia eleven was battling on the
gridirons In this city. New York has
had no place In football on a footing
•with the other big cities, with the ex
ceptlon of the occasional games be
tween West Point and Annapolis, or
other varsity elevens at the Polo
Grounds.
Mere Students Eligible
\ Denielson sold yesterday that
whereas only about 700 students have
been eligible for the game since 1915,
v hen the game was resumed by Co
lumbia students, there will be between
1.690 and 2,000 undergraduates avail
able next year. For five years, includ
ing the present season. Columbia's
strict regulations have not only pre
vented all students holding degrees
from playing, but have actually kept
outside the limits the majority of the
members of tho senior Those
students who take three years In col
lege and then enter one of the pro
fessional schools of the university,
6uch as law, engineering, business,
journalism, medicine or architecture,
have been unable to play the game in
their senior year or fourth lntercol
\ lege on account of the "professional
option" ruling. That left actually only
the members of the second and third
class eligible, since freshmen are not
permitted on 'varsity elevens.

From the architect's plan to the finished

RUBE BENNETT
Steolton's next boxing show Is to
morrow night Harrlsburg will play a
big part In filling the Olympia to ca
pacity. The show starts at 8.30 and
with all boxers arriving early to
morrow, Manager Joe Barrett looks
for the greatest exhibition ever given
in this vicinity.
Two star bouts will feature the
show. It cannot be denied that Billy
Angelo, the Greek lightweight cham
pion, and Billy Logan, the coalfield
champion, crowded more real action
into their six-round bout several
weeks ago, than was ever seen in a
local ring. With their bout stretched
to ten rounds to-morrow night, it is
sure some treat for local fans.
Good Semi-tvlndup
The special bout between Rube
Bennett and Bearcat Raymond, an
other coalfield slugger, is for six
rounds. Neither has lost a bout since
their first start. By fighting Jack Me-
Carron, the classy middleweight off
his feet. Raymond, proved his class,
while the local boy proved his by
stopping Soldier McGorty. and Butts
Clarke, in two rounds each, in the
star bouts at Lancaster. This will be
Rube's first start where his local
friends can cheer him.
Other flood Boots
Another bout on the card, attracting
considerable local interest, is between
Black Gunboat Smith and Jim Dun
can. a former Lancasterian, but now
of Middletown. They meet in the'sec
ond bout of six rounds, for the color
ed lightweight title of Pennsylvania.
Duncan has met such men as Charlie
Collins, Leo Houck, Johnny Gill, Terry
Martin, during his palmy days, but
claims to be in great condition to stop
Smith's claim. Young Palmer, of Mid
dletown, and Red Singer, of Dauphin, 1
will open the show. Tickets reserved

Lebanon Valley Eleven
Includes Young Recruit
Who Is One Big Surprise
Annvillc, Pa., Oct. 16.—One of the
biggest surprises of the opening of
the football season at Lebanon Val
ley College was the rapid develop
ment of Warren Fake, whose home
Is in Pino Grove, from an untrained
athlete Into a football player of 'Var
sity caliber. When Fake came to
Lebanon Valley College he had never
played In a football game and had
seen very few real gomes. When the
call for football candidates was made
he was one of the first to respond, and
has been on the field for workout and
scrimmage each evening since prac
tice began.
His improvement was steady and
when Coach Strlckler was looking
over his men to select the players for
the opening game with Vlllanova, ho
picked young Fake to hold down the
right guard position. Fuke went into
hiß first real game with pep and con
fidence and his playing was remark
able in view of ilio fact that he had
never before participated In tho pig
skin sport. Fake also played In the
game with Muhlenberg last Satur
day.
