To begin with, the main bout will bring together Harry Greb of Pittsburg and Knockout Sweeney of New York. These are both ambitious, rising young nliddleweights, rapidly forging to the front, and had they not been matched for tonight their orbits would have gotten tangled sooner or later, any way, so they will endeavor to remove an obstacle from their respective paths.

Nov. 4. The Carnegie Tech football team of Pittsburg will lineup here this afternoon against the big red eleven of Cornell in what is expected to prove a very interesting contest. The Techites arrived here yesterday 20 strong and are well rested after their railroad ride. They are not making any extravagant claims, but there is an air of confidence in their camp which may spell trouble for Al Sharpe's huskies.

The Cornellians are not underestimating the strength of the Pittsburg-ers, and. according to their followers, are primed for a hard game. They recognize that Coach Steffen has taught his charges some uptodate football, and that tftie Techites will play their respective and collective heads off to win today. It Is a question whether Cornell has entirely recovered as yet from Its hard game with Harvard last Saturday, which resulted in a decisive defeat for the locals. There have been some bear stories coming out of the local camp, but whether they are true or circulated for a purpose cannot be told at this time.

Shiverick is the successor to Charles Barrett as the Cornell quarterback and individual star, but he has failed- to come up to expectations so far. In addition, he is suffering from a sprained muscle. Speed, who is said to be as fast as his name, will be shifted from halfback to quarter and if Shriverick does get into the game it will be at one of the halves. Two or three other Car-nell stars are reported crippled and others have been dropped from the first team to give new candidates a chance. The lineup: Tech.

President Ban Johnson of the American league has denied statements attributed to him in two Chicago newspapers to the effect that a big shake-up would be made in the Xational Commission, and that Garry Herrmann might be deposed.

His latest statement Is as follows: "I Just said that there was dissatisfaction among American league club owners as to the perponderance of National league men on the commission That's all.

Blue and Gold Coaches Uses Same Men Against Methodists That Played in Penn Game The concludinK event of Pittsburg's Charter Centennial celebration is the AUeg-heny-Pitt football game at Forbes Field this afternoon, at 2.30. Because the event is one of the features of the celebration program, it was expected to attract a larger crowd than ever witnessed a game here between these opponents.

A great many rooters, too. turned out to see the Pitt team, which has won such honors recently through its cleanout victories over the great Syracuse and Pennsylvania elevens. Two hundred boys from the Klnss-lejr settlement house attended the struggle as guests of the Pitt management. This arrangement was made through Ian Forbes, president of tho Y. M.

C. A. at the University, who is at present connected with the Kings-ley House work. Forbes is himself an athlete, being a prominent member of the varsity wrestling team. tha Tech game two weeks hence the Pitt authorities will act as hosts to the boy scouts of the city and vicinity.

Today's game was expected to be especially attractive to spectators, because the lighter visiting team relies for its gains almost exclusively upon a wide open, passing game, which is always interesting to the spectators, while the Panthers have a versatile offense which includes various plays of this nature. It was believed that the most spectacular features of football would- be seen at Forbes Field this afternoon, and that there would be afforded also a good opportunity to size up the Pitt eleven in its last appearance before the decisive struggle with W. J. While nothing new in the way of attack was to be employed against Allegheny unless the latter team showed unexpected strength the Panthers have already utilized quite a number of formations and plays which can be employed today without giving away anything to Red and Black scouts. The Alleghenians are in much better condition than at any time this season, and While Coach Hammett realizes that his men have but a faint prospect of victory over the Warnerites, he predicted that they would surprise, spectators by their showing against the conquerors of Penn.

Allegheny has a good line. including four veteran players, of whom the best known are Capt. Scannell at left end, and McCon-nell at guard. The backfleld is light but very fast, the running of Baldwin, Miller and Drake having featured the game of the Methodists, and almost any man in the backfield can hurl the forward pass fairly well. The Panthers are in pretty good shape, too.

Capt. Peck is expected to "show no ill effects from the cut received last Saturday, and almost all the others are in trim for fast work. McXulty, one of the best backs, is missing, but there are plenty of other clever halfbacks to fill his place. The team was expected to line up for the kickoff about as it did in the Syracuse and Penn games, perhaps without a change. The Pitt freshmen, owing to the cancellation of Shadyside Academy, are without a game today, and will watch the work of their older brothers from the sidelines.

4. The spirit of vengeance will hover over eastern football gridirons this afternoon in the only two big encounters scheduled. Y'ale. smarting under two defeats ii four years at the hands of Colgate, is in shape to hand out a beating to that eleven, and probably will do It with an unmistakable gusto. The Army, humbled with regularity by Notre Dame, will get another crack at the Indiana eleven at West Point and with one of the greatest backfields that ever performed for the future generals, will trv to get a belated revenge.

Two of the game's most consistent and brilliant performers, Cofall and Oliphant, will be pitted against each other in the battle at West Point. Beth of them westerners, they have proved their class over opponents, and each of them has. by his own efforts, kept his team out in front. In Oliphant, Gerbardt, Vidal and Ford, the Army has whipped together a most wonderful offensive and defensive combination. If Notre Dame's massive stars are able to tear their way through, and at the same time hold off assaults by these men they will indeed have reached a point from where they will be hailed as favorites over thefr age-old enemy, the Navy.

And. to keep pace with the rising popularity of the Middies, they will have to win. Last year the two elevens fought a hard battle, the westerners finally winning bv a score of 7 to 0. JONES TO SAVE REGULARS. Tale will be represented by a second string eleven after the flrst string men have done enough to insure victory, provided they can do it.

Coach Tad Jones is maneuvering to save his regulars as much as possible. Both Yale and Colgate have gone through their seasons to date without defeat but Colgate's schedule has had only one real hard contest, that with Illinois, which it won. Yale's schedule, while it has been with minor elevens, has been hard and the blue's record is good. Harvard will have only a practice game with Virginia. It probably will develop into only a comparative affair, in which Harvard's score can be placed alongside that made by Yale against the same eleven.

Yale piled up a 01 to 3 count against Virginia. Down at Princeton the same old bear storv is flying around. The Tigers, they say," are not fit to play anybody much less try to stop the heavy Bucknell crowd However, Speedy Rush has been in the habit of wearing long faces, so no one will be surprised if Princeton piles up a huge score. INDEPENDENT TEAMS WILL BATTLE TODAY The lone: talked-of football game be tween the S. J.

Bannon has to his credit this season one kick from the 47-yard line and one from the 51-yard line.

Central board officials will handle the game. i Ball Club Is For Sale. Terre Haute. Nov. 4.

J. and Pitt will clash at Forbes Field in their annual sectional championship clash. For the first time in years, W. J. is admittedly the "under dog" in the titular struggle.

That is most critics and rooters concede this, even W. A. partisans. But, also, the fighting spirit of W. J.

has been aroused, the players having spent the 'past week in earnest preparation for the "game of games." Coach Sol Metzger has luidoubtedly wrought improvement in the Red ard Black eleven and with still one week ahead, there is a strong feeftng that he will have his team in shape to give Glenn Warner's famous Panthers the battle of their lives. The fact that W. J. is the "under dog" in the coming battle seems to have stirred interest among the Red and Black rooters to a higher pitch than ever. They are loyal to the team and will be present when the battle waged to display this gridiron patriots ism.

Real preparation for Pitt was begun lart. Tuesday and it has continued without abatement. Some of the varsity mtn. Ruble, Nuss, Stobbs, Whitehill, and Drew, were unable to participate very actively. They were on the field nearly every afternoon but did.

not take part in the scrimmaging or other strenuous portions of the workout. W. GAME GALLED OFF Washington. Nov. 4.
