Promoter Tox Richard said he expected Leonard to again don the gloves possibly this winter in one or two bouts at the new fight temple now. nearing completion.

Nov. 11. Syracuse, Franklin and Marshall and Boston University will replace Columbia, Rt. Louis University and Knox on the Army football schedule next year, according to the 1926 playing program made public today. Another important change advances the Notre Dame game to November 13, two weeks before the annual battle with the Navy.

fxn AT GRIZZLIES TREK NORTH Thirty-three Branch Players Leave Tonight for Game With Stanford Saturday For the second and last time this season, the local University of California football team will trek north to meet another outstanding Pacific Coast team. Coach Bill Spaulding will lead a contingent of thirty-three players, coaches and managers to Palo Alto for a game with Stanford Saturday afternoon. The Grizzlies will leave from the Glen-dale station at 8:53 o'clock on the Sunset Limited 'tonight and will arrive on the Stanford campus tomorrow morning. After watching the two fighters step Callahan seemed to dash through his stuff with more venon than the Wildcat. Mushy was fierce even In hla shadow boxing, gritting his teeth and slashing at an imaginary opponent who will be Hudkins when the bell sends thorn riff nia t)nvle'S Star at- i 1 I traction Callahan stepped through six rounds of stiff boxing, using three different sparring partners.

The two rounds he went with Dandy Dillon was a real fight with both using all they had on the big gloves. Dillon has worked with Mushy in all his recent training. Callahan did not evade all of Dillon's punches us he wants to be In shape to take as well as give. And Hudkins has never yet been In a battle that he did not deal out plenty to his opponent. Both Ace and Mushy are entering the cranky stage of training.

The intense feeling existing between them makes this match more than the ordinary ono. Each is heated up over uncomplimentary remarks the other has made. Hudkins has accepted Callahan's challenge to step to the center of the ring tho first round and start slugging to see which will back up first. "I'll close his eye tighter than I did Joe Benjamin's or' O'Don-nell's," says th, eWIldcat, "If Callahan keeps his word." "There won't be any second round to this fight if that Wildcat will open and slug for I'll knock him out right there," declares Mushy. Body guards have been placed over both fighters, fearing that if they met on the street they would stage that $20,000 match for nothing.

Oxnard Takes Third Ventura Championship Oxnard High School won the Ventura' county title for the third consecutive time yesterday, and thereby gained permanent possession of the championship trophy. Oxnard defeated Santa. Paula 26 to 7 In the final and deciding game that was a feature of the Armistice Day celebration at Oxnard. In another tilt, the second half of the double-header, Ventura State College won from the Santa Barbara Teachers' College, 12 to 6. Dunn, Santa Barffara fullback, sustained severe injuries In the tilt, and was taken to the St.

John's Hospital with concussion of the brain. He was still unconscious at a late hour last night. In the high-school game Mitchell and Dettman, Vacks. did most of tho scoring with Johnson and Oull also doing well. Perry Churchill was the outstanding star for the losers.

"Pop" Warner's Cardinals arefi already acquainted with the Grizzly team as tho Stanford players witnessed the Branch-Whlttler game, the day before the Cardinals met U.S.C. What Coach Warner saw on that day probably didn't leave much of an impression, but thft Grizzly eleven hopes to leave Warner with a different impression of the Grizzly's prowess after the game. There is very little chanch of a Branch victory over the third ranking team on the Coast, but the game should b'e hard fought throughout with Stanford having a margin of three or four touchdowns. NTS VERS AT CALIFORNIA If the reports are true, the Grizzly line will not have to hold the terrible Ernie Nevers. Coach "Pop" Warner has bigger game on the fire and most of the Cardinal regulars with Warner will grace the Memorial Bowl, when California battles Washington on the same afternoon.

If the Southern Branch team has been greatly underestimated by the Stan ford coach, there is apt to be action a-plenty before the game is over. Coach Andy Smith was handed a surprise package a year ago, when the Nevada Wolves outfought the Bear second team to a scoreless tie, while Andy and his first team were over taking a look at Stanford. Under Coach Spaulding, the Branch eleven has shown consist lent Improvement In every game, Outside of the first ten minutes of the Redlands game the Griz zlies played their best game of the year. That has been the one big weakness of the team so far this year. Whittier defeated the Branch by a big spurt In the first quarter and held onto the narrow lead during the remainder of the contest.

St. Mary's piled up 28 points against the Grizzlies in the first quarter and were held Mcoreless after that, Ifl the Branch starts off in high instead of in low with Walton and Ray carrying the ball, the Grizzly machine will have a good chance of scoring on the Cardinals.

The magnates adjourned after deciding to meet at Kansas City on the 30th Inst. Colgate and Syracuse Also in I Traditional Tilt Harvard, Brown and Pennsy, Pittsburgh Meet (BY A. P. H1GHT WIM) NEW rORK. Nov.

11. Two of the East's oldest rivalries will spring into flame this week on the gridiron, while other major battles of the coming Saturday feature in-tersectlonal or championship Interest. Both of these ancient football feuds, Ijowever, also involve title hopes, with Princeton's rampant Tigers attempting to break the Bulldogs' grip on "big three" laurels at New Haven, while Amherst seeks to snap the chain of Williams triumphs in the concluding game of the "little three" series at Williamstown, Mass. The Princeton-Yale dispute Is the older, in fact, the oldest, of all existing gridiron rivalries. The Tiger and the Bulldog first clawed and snapped at each other back In 1 873.

In forty-eight struggles since that time Yale has triumphed in twenty-six, Princeton in thirteen, while- nine have ended in deadlocks. DESPERATE FIGHT The Elis, decisive victors in the past two years, are favored to advance toward their third straight "big three" championship by taking Princeton's measure, although th Tiger, spurred on by his smashing triumph over Harvard last Saturday, can be expected to put ip a desperate fight. Amherst, beaten for four straight years Williams, seems about ripe for revenge and a victory that will carry with it the "little three" title. New York State's traditional foes, Colgate and Syracuse, appear more eveinly matched than usual for their annual battle at Syracuse this Saturday. Neither has suffered defeat but each has been tied, Colgate by Lafayette and Syracuse by Ohio Afesleyan.

Individual factors promise to play a big part in their struggle, with Eddie Trypn standing out as Colgate's ace "and Jim Foley and Harlan Carr featuring the Orange at- Js tack. 1 I ANOTHER FEUl) Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh renew another traditional feud after a yea'r'g lapse with a close and hard-fought contest in prospect. Harvard and Brown renew another football's fixtures, this time in the new Providence stadium, wJeii the Bears out to make it four straight over the battered Crimson M'LARNIN AND FIELDS CLASH (Continued from First Page) pounds heavier when he steps Into the ring The point Is that while Fields has been forced to scale down and perhaps drain some of his natural strength, McLarnin has concentrated on boxing and punching. As a puncher there are rumors circulating along the Rialto that McLarnin is becoming a riot. During his training sessions this week he is said to have broken the nose of Terry Adams, a middleweight, and had Jack Sparr and Joe Garcia, the tough Mexican, almost out with terrific pokes.

This Is something entirely new In the McLarnin category of strokes. He knocked out Spec Ramies on ono of the San Francisco open-air cards this spring, but that Is about the' only K.O. he has in his record. His greatest victory was over the late Pancho Villa, flyweight king, but negatived because of Villa's physical condition which ultimately resulted in the latter's death. Both boys have a world of confidence in their ability.

Fields considers the bout his chance to gain national prominence. McLarnin looks upon It as another stepping stone to pugilistic honors. The experts are divided In their opinons. Some like Fields because they believe he is faster, shiftier and can box better. Others bank on McLarnin because of his uncanny weaving and the fact that ss long as he was able to set the pace with Bud Taylor he was able to stay in the lead.

If Fields wins, the attention of the boxing world, East and West, will be riveted on the Los Angeles boy. If McLarnin triumphs there will be a celebration in Vancouver, Wash. Tonight's battle Is Jimmy's first since he fought Pancho and was set down bv the Rnyinr Commission because he padded his age. The complete card follows: Jimmy McLarnin vs. Jackie Fields, 127 pounds, ten rounds.

Earl McArthur vs. Leonard Garcia. 120 pounds, six rounds. Billy Atkinson vs. Joe Kelly, 155 pounds, six rounds.

How far Clever Sencio is from filling the shoes of his late predecessor, Pancho Villa, will be brought to light tomorrow night when the Filipino sensation fights Corp. Izay Schwartz of New York Izzy Schwartz came to Los Angeles direct from the East to get a crack at Fidel La Barba. Big jobs like that take time, and Corp. Izzy has to meet some good boys to show his class before matchmakers are going to lay out their dough. Clever Sencio will not appear In another bout until he meets Fidel.

Frank Churchill will devote the next few weeks priming his little Filipino for the bout with the world's champion, La Barba. George Blake is sending La Barba into a shot at the Hollywood Legion stadium next week to get Fidel's sock oiled up for Sencio. Ray Fee is going to fight Fidel. Flyweights have been big draw ing cards at Hollywood. They create action and that Is what the fans want.

They step around and throw gloves. The way Sencio stopped Roy Riley has made him the favorite with the bettors. Every time out Sencio has looked better than In his previous starts. He is all that the Filipinos said, about him when he left Manila. Knute Hansen hqs been matched with Benny Touchstone in the semi-wind-up.

Tom Gallery has another main eventer In Hansen. Knute Is the biggest man fighting today. He looks like a contender for the heavyweight championship and all he needs Is a few shots before his manager, Tom Kennedy, is ready to send him against George Godfrey or any other heavyweight. EL PASO DEFEATED BY PHOENIX AGAIN EXCLUSIVE DISPATTH1 PHOENIX, Nov. 11.

In a hard-fought game, though by a score of 18 to 0, Phoenix this afternoon clinched her championship of Southwestern High School football by defeating the strong El Paso team, this for the fifth time. El Paso tried plunging, but soon was compelled to fall back on purely defensive tactics. The victory is important in view of the fact that Phoenix in December 4s to play a post-season game with San Diego, her ancient enemy, which now Is well up toward the lead of Southern California high schools and thus a direct issue may be known between California and Arizona champions. ibotboll Game PfiOdAlto November 21 PRESIDENT WILLIAMS BACK HOME Says Coast League Meeting Most Peaceful Gathering in History Ilarry A.

FRl KITE I rODfVOCO ETA HIllM I FGlON SlMUIeelM Al ALL-STARS IN GRID TRIUMPH (Continued from First Page) and Remer, end, were the best of the linesmen.

The stars used two distinct and entirely different types of play. For the first half, they played strictly the California style of play, letting Nesbit kick and sitting back and waiting for the breaks. The system worked well enough to enable them to score a touchdown and a BaZety, But In the second half, with Nichols, Workman and Blewett alternating in carrying the ball, they suddenly blossomed out with a flock of runs that carrietl them to two touchdowns. PLAY KICKING GAME Barrett and Nesbit kicked back and forth throughout most of the first quarter, with Barrett having a slight advantage. Finally, however, he fumbled one of Archie's high spirals, after signaling for a fair catch, and Mlnneck, who was one of the Ive Stars invariably down on the boots recovered.

Blewett and Nesbit smashed their way to the 1-yard line in four bucks, and Bill hurdled the line for the touchdown and drop-kicked for the extra point. On the first play of the second quarter, Blewett tried a 83-yard drop-kick which was short, and the Navy took the ball on Its own 3-yard line. A bad pass from Jordan caused Barrett, who had dropped back to kick, to fumble, and Jumbo Pierce tackled him for a safety. In this same quarter Barrett tossed a forty-yard paas to Remer, putting the ball on the Stars' 10-yard line. Barrett and Elwood each smashed for a yard, Bar- rett then collected five, but the fourth attempt, a short pass, Elwood to Underwood, was Incomplete and Nesbit punted out of danger.

After a lengthy exchange of punts in the third quarter, the Stars took the ball on their own 46-yard nne. wortcman wormed nis way through left tackle for twenty yards. Blewett and Nesbit essayed a couple of smashes and Blewett gained fifteen on a criss cross, shaking off three tacklers to place the ball on the Navy 2 -yard line. Workman had no difficulty in going around right end for the tally, and Blewett kicked goal. The Navy kicked off again, and the Stars immediately waltzed down the field to another touchdown, largely through the efforts of Blewett, Workman and Nesbit.

Hoge bucked over for his second tally and Blewett drop-kicked again. The Melville hurled passes all over the place in the last quarter, 1 Barrett again tossing a forty-five-yard aerial to Remer, which was completed. They eventually lost the ball on however. The Navy took the ball on Its own 3-i yard line when one of Nesblt's kicks rolled outside on that marker. Armstrong tossed a pass on the first play, and Babe Horrell, the All-Amerloan center, snagged and pushing tacklers aside with carefree abandon, raced across the field, and the goal line for the final touchdown of the day's Tuffy Conn, who had been more or less flourishing during this period, kicked goal.

The remainder of the game was occupied with Melville, incompleted passes and Legion punts. Conn got away for two good-sized runs, but each time lost the gain due to an infraction of the rules by other members of the team. The score: LEGION Lyils Beam Minnlrk HorrtU.
