Outcome of Yale-Princeton Game Is in the Lap of the Gods Columbia Will Find Pennsylvania Hard Problem to Solve A FLASH IN THE BY ED HUGHES Rosenbloom Favored To Defeat Br addock In Garden Tonight By ED HUGHES. The "here today, somewhere else tomorrow" element, characteristic of Queensberry Iif wa never more keenly exemplified than in tonight's combat in the Garden. Maxey By GEORGE CTRRIE. Albic Booth will be standing in great shoes tomorrow afternoon when he lies back for one of Scarlett's punts.

And those. Tiger ends will be putting their hoofs into the green -aw. I turf of the Yale Bowl, hot on the scent of one of Princeton's oldest traditions. For, after all, we read from an account of that first game played between Yale and Princeton in 1873 with 20 on a side, that "Yale played a bucking, rushing game. Princeton's habit was to follow the ball at all hazards, even to the neglect of their opponents' play." KosenDioom is a 10 iavonie 10 wxnp iim Braddock in their 10-rounder.

The Harlem clown, it is figured, is an almost certain winner on points. The best betting proposition, according to Broadwayites, is on Brad-dock by a knockout, the odds here being I to 6 that the Jersey Cobra can connect his poisonous Tight with Rosenbloom's lower maxillary. Tomonow's Games To Go on the Air Of course the chief point of Braddock was the idol of the hour in Queensberry but a few weeks back. Some saw him as the coming world's heavyweight this is that king, or at least a pertinent figure in the ranks of the big fellows. Braddock was the kid with the "knock- nu.

Braddock cut a ridiculous figure in his dull-wlttedi'iivu lumbering attempts to nail the elu.i i iu sive Loughran with his deadly aoc; Very promptly it was acknowledged it on all sides that the Jerseyite hadiaiori much to learn; that his talents been grossly overrated (as previouslyvfr pointed out by the writer), and aHa'nt that sort of thing.

No Sam White will be scooping up a fumble to run 86 yards to win the gama, but after watching Yale sucked in and utterly dismayed by Marsters' passing attack in the Dartmouth game I am quite willing to say that this game is in the lap of the gods.

his child is not really a prodigy. Victory over Princeton and a squeak over Columbia seem almost too good to be true. For the first time in years, Dobie has a "Big Red Tea.m" undefeated and untied on the third Saturday in November. And that, even Dartmouth will concede, is something for the boys to write home to the folks about. The Green has lost some of its punch with Al Marsters upon his back in the infirmary.

Billy Morton and Tommy Longnecker don't get the drive that Al got out of such smart material as Armstrong, Yud-icky. Booma, Andres, Sutton and Wolff. Still, paper values, for all that the stock market and the present football season have made them look like a plugged nickel stuck in a subway turnstile, certainly favor the Green In this game. COLUMBIA IN A TOUGH SPOT. Up by the North Pole, at Baker Field, near the end of the subway, Columbia receives Pennsylvania.

With the season already blasted, Crowley may be expected to pull the wraps off Hewitt at last.

Rosenbloom thrashed t-jy Sekyra with such accurary gusto that he comnletely owed the triumphs registered heaw title. To hear them talk and to observe them laying cold cash on the line, one came to the conclusion that such an achievement on Braddock's part represented nothing but a pleasant, practically effortless formality. That was only a short time hackbut how the mighty hath fallen since then! Braddock's stock took a terrific drop when Loughran handled him as he pleased throughout the scheduled 15 rounds. It was not so much that Braddock didn't win, but the manner of his losing that brought opprobrium on the Mold into two victories. most picturesque figures ever the grass with his gloved hanl Then he calmly tossed up Old Sal once more.

Vance answered, "I'd knock one of my eyes out." McOtnnlty's last official connec tion with baseball was his job as coach and scout for the Robins in 1920. Late In the season, he was sent to Terre Haute to look over a young shortstop.

While there ht saw a young left hander pitch and win a doubleheader. The "Iron Man" purchased Watson Clark on the spot and last season Clark was the best of the Brooklyn pitchers better even than Vance. In that season also. Joe McGin nity had perhaps the most hu miliating experience of his life. One balmy evening at the training camp, he sat chatting with a famous Brooklyn star and said star's wife.

The combination of freo scoring and tie game was another unexpected angle, says the Associated Press.

Les Canadlens, the speed kings of the Ice, who were expected to profit by the faster game, tallied three times, but Ottawa's Senators, previously known as a defensive team, equaled that total. The To-ronta Leafs and the rejuvenated Chicago Ulackhawks got two goals each for another tie at Toronto. The world's champions of last year, the Boston Bruins, had easy sailing against Detroit after a wild first period. Each tenm seored twice in the opening frame, but the Bruins smashed three more goals pnat Dolly Dolson for a 5-2 triumph.

By this time, Joe had developed Old Sal," his famous underhand curve.

Sal brought huu up to the majors with Brooklyn and stuck with him through thick and thin. Sal, a bit ragged and wrinkled, was still with him in the last game ne pitched in Brooklyn, some five years aeo at Dexter Park. Old Joe worked for the Dubuque Mississippi Valley team, which he managed, beat the powerful Bushwicks, 4 to 3, and scored the winning run him self. The season of 1904 was McOin-nity's climax season in the major leagues. In September of that year, he pitched the New York uian Into a pennant by winning both ends of four doubleheaders; That made the' nickname of "Iron hung on lm by Abe Yager, sports editor of the nationally McGINNITY LASTTD -INCREDIBLY LONG TIMB.

Those were McQlnnlty's halcyon days but. not, In my inind, the most' colorful stages ot his 30 years In the game. Years afterward, well Into the present decade; Joe and Old Sal stalked together along the highways and byways of the great American bush. And once in every so often a r.hort dispatch from Oshkosh. Waterloo or Yazoo City would Inform the civilized world that Joe and Old Sal had won another doublehrader.

As late os 10 years ago the "Iron Man" could pitch and win in really fast company. There was 1918 the war year Players were being drafted Into the service and enlist ing in whole squadrons. Magnates of minor league clubs had a terrific Job keeping their heads above the mater. One Pacific Coast League club sent for McGinnity. then al most 50 and oast the draft age.

Joe arrived In the morning and pitched in the afternoon. Sammy Bohne told rne the story. OLD SAL STAYED WITH THE VETERAN. Truck Hannah, the big catcher later with the Yankees, was Mc- Oinnity's battery mate that day. He conferred with Joe about signals "When I catch the" ball In my rloved hand," said the "Iron Man," "it will mean the next pitch will be Old Sal." The game started with McGinnity catching the ball In his gloved hand and Old Sal floating up to the plate for strike one.

Hannah tossed the ball back to the box and again Joe caup.ht it with the gloved hand. And so It went throughout the whole first Inning. And the second and the third. It began to get on Hannah's nerves, nt was a big and didn't like to sfooo so much. Ho took to throwing at McOlnntty's feet, over his head, everywhere In an attempt to make Joe use two hands for the catch.

But McOln-nlty skipped around like a ballet dancer and lnvsrlablv cave it the gloved hand grab. Finally In the seventh, Hannah played Ms ace. He threw the ball Into center field, Joe railed to the other plavers to remain In thrlr noltions. rsn out to feel the cleaving edge of the guillotine. The only thing that will reprieve Coach Crowley from the vengeance of the angry mob of alumni is for Columbia to beat Pennsylvania tomorrow.

And that looks like too much to ask. If the decree does go forth that Crowley must pay the price of those defeats by Dartmouth, Cornell and Colgate the football fathers on the Heights of Mornlngside might go further and not do nearly so well as to hlrt Tom Thorpe as Crowley's WHEN OLD ALMA MATER CALLED TOM ANSWERED. Thorpe was once a 10-day wonder on the Columbia campus. It was just after resigning as football mentor at N. Y.

U. His own Light Blue and White was about to engage Army in battle array. On tha West Point team were "Light Horse" Harry Wilson and several other nephews of Uncle Sam who knew all about carrying a plsktn across lots. But Thorpe was a psychologist. He came to Columbia and pounded in his psychology.

He simply made Columbia believe they were the best football team on top of the earth, and when they tooic the field what they did to Army amounted almost to an Insurrection. They beat the West Pointers, 287. The selection of Thorpe would mean, too, that Columbia would be returning to graduate coaching. Crowley played football at Notre Dame and Harvard but never toted his school books around 116th si. and Broadway.

BILL ROrER AGAIN TALKS RETIREMENT. Speaking of psychologists, the grandest old psychologist of 'em all may not be practicing his hypno tism on the Tiger next fall. Down at Princeton are rumors nothing detinue, nothing that can be confirmedthat Bill Roper is going to make good his threats and retire. This Isn't berause Bill has failed to produce. He has Installed the most successful system of coaching Princeton has ever known.

But he has more and more exacting law practice In Philadelphia that requires his undivided attention. It was only reluctantly that he signed his present contract. Those mentioned to take his place Include Al Wlttmer Bill's present first assistant fit an Keck and Charlie Caldwell, coach at Williams. wlttmer is perhaps the best grounded in the Roper system and will likely receive the appoint ment.
