Future bouts will be judged by two judges and a referee who shall cast ! n vote but ho must agree with one or the other judge or call the bout a draw. The referee shall also count | out a boxer who drops to the floor without beirfg hit 'and in case such boxer goes down under such condl -1 tions after arising from a legitimate knockdown, the count shall begin: from the point where he arose from such legitimate knockdown.

When Hoier Is Down A boxer shall be considered "down" j when any part of his body, other than , his feet, are- on the floor or when hanging helpless on the ropes, but the referee shall be the judge of such a condition on the ropes and the! boxer shall not be considered "down" j on the lopes Until the referee so calls. Among the fouls covered in the new rules is one that a boxer arising lrom the floor following a knock down. is fouled if struck before he is in defensive position. As a further protection the scorer of a knockdown must retire to the far eornt r of the ring after such knock down and if he does not. the count over his fallen opponent shall cease until he takes his proper position in such corner.

Pa.. Dec. 6. —An- nouncement was made at the foot ! ball banquet here last night that Kenneth Kelly Stark, of Ilarrisburg. had been elected manager of foot ball for the 1920 season. This is one of the biggest individual honors that can be conferred upon a student at Penn Slate, and to-day Stark is re ceiving congratulations from all I sides. He was graduated from liar risburg Tech with the class of 1917, is a junior in college and is studying industrial engineering. Announcement of the 1919 foot ball letter awards was also made last night and it includes Dick i Kauch. the former Harrisburg Tech i and Bethlehem prep star. Kauch | played a bang-up game as center i and left guard throughout the sea j son. lie is one of the eligibles for [ captain next year and stands very , good chances of being elected.

This is due to the great num ber of different players that Coach BezJek used in the early games of the season. The letter winners are: Captain Wiggins, end: Henry and Cubbace, tackles: Rauch and Os born. guards; Conover, center; G. W. Brown, end: Robb, quarterback; Way, Snell and Haines, halfbacks, and Hess, fullback. Lightner and Killinger came very close to qualify ing. Gold footballs will also go to the letter men. The banquet and reception tendered the football squad last night by the students was a success in every way. The big event of the evening was the presen tation of the Pitt football to the students by Captain "Fighting Bob" Higgins. BOWLING SCORES BOYD MEMORIAL I.FAG IK SAPPHIRES G.

London, Dee. 6.—Experts in com menting on Thursday night's light in which Georges Carpentier, of France, knocked out Joe Deckett, of England, in the first round, concur in saying that victory went to the best man and that Carpentier won by his. speed and cleverness. Beckett's manager says Carpentier "brought off a million to one chance." but this is not the view of expert onlookers, the Daily Mail's critic accusing Beckett of "sheer stupidity." "Beckett had by a long way the best of the handicap," the Daily Mail's expert writes. "He was su perior in height, weight and reach. He is a fereat fellow physically, but the less said about his judgment the better: Perhaps he was over-confi dent, but anyway he gave his oppo nent a chance which no novice would have offered. The One Ilaril Blow The blow with which Carpentier won was too simple for words. It could have been easily avoided, and the counter to it would have been an extremely dangerous blow, yet Beck ett walked right into the danger zone. What he did was simple and stupid and there is no excuse for him." After Carpentier had been car ried around the right, the Prince of Wales cordially shook his hand and congratulated him. The Prince also shook Beckett's hand, saying: "Better luck next time." Intercollegiate League to Start With Cornell Game By Associated Press.

PLANS FOR BIG OLYMPIC BILL Swedish Official Makes Pub lic Change in Pro gram New York, Dec. 6. President J. S. Edstrom, of the Swedish Ama teur Athletic Association, who is also president of the International Amateur Athletic Federation, gave an account hers of the prepara tions which are being made by Eu ropean countries to have thorough ly representative teams at the Olympic games in Belgium next year. He said that the Belgian com mittee would endeavor to follow, as closely, as possible, the program ar ranged at the Paris conference in 1914, just prior to the declaration of war. The program rules agreed upon then wore to have gov erned Olympic games scheduled to take place In Berlin in 1916. Change in Program A change in the track and fietd program, however, has eliminated the decathlon and rtfty-siv-pound weight throw and added a grenade throwing contest to the list of events. The Swedish government, he said, had sanctioned a lottery through which a fund of 9100,000 has been realized to defray the expenses of Swedish competitors at the 1920 Olympiad. Denmark and Finland also were preparing to send good teams. Neither German nor Austrian ath letes will be permitted to epter any of the competitions.

While I the crowd was fair, the patronage j was far from doing justice to the bill | offered by the local association. Slierldnn (food in One Hound Sheridan started right, but the only j time he looked good was in the open- j ins round. The Jersey fighter had | the pluck. However, it was plainly i evident that Herman was too much ! for Sheridan. The Allentown boy I made every blow count. Herman had a few pounds on Ills opponent. Locul 1 fans expressed a wish after the fight j that Herman would come back soon. Oppie White. of Lancaster, and i Johnny Uuggles of Reading, went six i rounds. The Lancaster boy looked i like a spider when compared to bis opponent, and spectators thought they ; would see an early finish. White ; fooled thgm. He knocked Rugglcs i against the ropes in the first round, j and had the Beading fighter worried all the time. It was a good semi- j windup. Good Preliminaries The preliminaries were very good. In the opening bout. Knockout Casey was given a shade in Battling Derni er, of Heading. Both boys fought like tigers and at times it looked as if Casey would not hold out, but he rallied and gave his opponent hard punishment. Both boys were fighting all the time. Casey went through the ropes hut was picked up and came back springer than ever. Casey was clev er In guarding his face and getting in hard blows on the body. Battling Paskos, of Heading, and Dick Gotwalt, of York, fought six fierce rounds. Pa." koa' punches had, weight, and Gotwalt went to the fioo£ a number of times, but always came up/smlllng.
