One of a pair of S' jacks called the other a knave $oday and the ensuing uproar tompletely obliterated, at least for the time being, the $333, damage suit against Jack Dempsey, former heavy weight champion, by Jack Yearns, his erstwhile manager, for breach of contract. Voluntary Non Suit I After counsel for Kearns had Srcliarged Dempsey and his lawyers itwiUi deliberately "framing" the court, and Tex Rickard, boxing promoter, ar with having boasted that he had the case "iii the bag," both sides agreed end the trial in a "voluntary non a polite form of mistrial carrying no connotations of guilt. iit. rnnnspl for Kearns announced the WELFARE LEAGUE GAMES TONIGHT Fraternity Coalitions Said to Have Divided Campus Into Hostile Camps COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov.

21 (A.P.). On the theory that campus politics has interfered with proper functioning of Ohio State Athletic teams, the university athletip board has abolished the traditional election of captains in all sports. Action of the board was taken November 10, but announcement was postponed until the football season was concluded. The board made no explanation accompanying the announcement, but the athletes and athletic officials have expressed themselves as feeling the old system had interfered on some occasions with selection of logical men as captains. Sometimes the strife born during the annual elections of captains was carried over into the next season with a resulting bad effect on the team morale and its showing in competition, the officials believe.

The campus political situation, it is learned, from the officials, arises most largely from coalitions of fraternities and their division Into hostile camps. Sometimes the defeated faction has caused trouble, tt 3 officials believe but the difficulty largely comes about through election of an illogical man as a result of a deadlock over other candidates. The situation has persisted for the last ten years or more, the authorities declare, sometimes with the "logical" perrons being r.hoen as capains, but frequently with the opposite result. Under the new system to be used at the impar ity, the coach of the sport involved will designate a field leader for each game. At the end of the season, the letter men in the sport will select someone from their number as honorary captain.

Coach Norman Morgans sent his Red and1 White charges through the fundamentals and closed the session with a short, snappy signal drell. Two teams were on the field, with varsity men holding down positions on both elevens.

Tech will practice this afternoon at Weston Field Coach Lou Hutto had his Blue and Gold squad limbered up in high school gymnasium, following a half hour's blackboard talk. The Central gridders threw forward passes and went through a series of calisthenics The entire practice lasted less than an hour. Central will practice at Brooks' Field today and will go through signal drills." Because of the uncertainty of Bakos and Samuels playing in the entire big game, Hutto worked different combinations in an effort to select his backfield.

"The better player won the match and I have no alibi to offer," was the way Turnesa expressed himself. "It wasn't a case of the breaks deciding the match, Hagen simply played superior golf and deserved to win. Whatever breaks that came his way, he was entitled to for he made them.

"You are not playing an ordinary golfer when you face Hagen, rather he is more like a machine. Mistakes do not seem to bother him in the least. When he errs, his sole thought is how he can make up the round thus lost. "No golfer needs to feel disgraced when he takes a trimming from Walter Hagen." M. C.
