The absence of Graduate Manager Noil M.

Fleming, and Coach Hugo Bezdek, both of whom are attending meetings in New York City, has forced a postponement. In the awarding of letters to the varsity football men for the season just closed and also in the election of a captain for next year. Only the letter men of the squad are entitled to vote for captain. There are about five men eligible for the position of captain, and thre is considerable amount of guessing 'going on as to who will be the popular choice. Those who are being mentioned are Bentz, the scrappy center, from Kbensburg; Killinger, quarterback, the Harrisburg boy, who will return next year; Lightner.

from Marysvil'e, who alternated with Charlie Way, at halfback MoColium, Kittanning, end, and George Snell, of Heading, fullback. These men will all be seniors next year and the choice is usually limited to a member of the senior class. Working on Schedule' Graduate Manager Fleming is at work on his schedule for next year, but will make no announcement concerning it until it is fully completed and approved by the alumni and faculty advisory committees. All of the games during the past season were such good ones that it is probable that efforts will be made to reschedule most of the teams who were on this year's list. The game with the University of Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving Day, however, is the only one that is definite at the present time.

Eddie Plank, Winner; Helps Hospital Collections Gettysburg, Dec. 7. Eddie Plank, five year old son of Eddie Plank, the noted left handed pitcher, of the Philadelphia Athletics of a few years ago, is one of the most ardent boosters for the one hundred thousand dollar endowment fund for the hospital now being carried on. Pilled with enthusiasm, for the hos pital cause Eddie procured a note book and pencil and unknown to his parents started to make a canvass of the people on the street on which he lives. No refusals would be accepted by the youthful worker, who said at some of the places he visited.

"I'm not getting out of this house until I get some money for the hospital." At the end of two hours' diligent work, young Eddie collected two dollars and seventy five cents, which he proudly handed over to the chairman of the endowment fund campaign committee. Xew York, Dec. 7. Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, will defend the laurels he stripped oft' Jess Williard at Toledo last year, for the first time In New York on the evening of December 14 at Madison Square Garden, against K. O.

Bill Brennan, of Chicago, over the flften rounds route. This is a return engagement between this pair of thumping heavies. Back in 1917 at Milwaukee, they fought a cyclonic battle in which Brennan broke his ankle in the sev4 enth, causing the cessation of hostilities. Up to that time Dempsey had punched himself out but good fortune managed to keep him swinging wildly while his opponent unluckily pulled up with a bad leg. An ray picture was taken and as they never lie the broken ligaments were very much in evidence.

Brennan has been training the last month at Providence. Two days ago he moved to New York to put on the finishing touches, boxing daily with Kid Norfolk, the "Black Thunderbolt, and Panama Joe Gans, colored middleweight champion and, holder of the Tex Rickard belt emblematic of the championship. Brennan, Norfolk and Gans are managed by Leo P. Flynn, the greatest manager of fighters developed since the days of Bill Brady and William De laney. Dempsey is doing his work on the U.

S. training ship Granite, which is docked at the foot of West Ninety sixth street. His sparring partners include Bill Tate, the big negro, and Marty Farrell, who aspires to the middleweight championship. Promoter Tex Kickard anticipates a $200,000 gate, a record for modern fiatiana. Dempsey, it is said, will receive half or this amount and Brennan will be compensated by a big hunk.

Brennan Has Confidence If confidence counts for anything, Brennan looks to have more than an outside chance of whipping Dempsey. This may sound foolish on the face of it, but Bill says he is going to tear into the champion at the first tap of the gong and believea that it he connects he will lay the Utah mauler flat on his Ijack for the count. "There may be a lot of guys that can lick me. but I know I can beat Dempsey," declared Brennan to day after a spirited, workout.
