THE BROOKLYN" STANDARD UNION: FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 4, 1921. Princeton Choice Over Harvard Eleven Cornell's "Big Red" Team Should Swamp Columbia 20 Centre College Football Team COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAMES TO-MORROW Brooklyn Prep Favored To Retain Championship Throng of 60,000 Expected At Tiger-Crimson Struggle Brooklyn Prep is favored to retain its Catholic prep schoe! championship of the borough when the Crown Heights elever. and St. John's Prep face each other in their annual gridiri classic to-morrow afternoon at Ebbets Field.

The game fcr tween these which have been rivals from tinvi memorial, features a card of five games for the day. The Brooklyn-St. John's game lsr 1 The vanguard of JJje vast crowd of sixty thousand persons "that will jam the Paimer Stadium, at Princeton, for the Harvard game to-morrow afternoon, passed through New York today, en route to the pretty little Jersey college town. Most of the Iianhattan hotels are already crowded with Out-of-town guests, and more visitors are arriving with every train. EBBETS WILLING TQ SELL IF HIS PRICE Avenging their defeat of last year, Centre College, of Kenjuckv, startled the football worlfl by defeating; Harvard University, 6 to 0.

b. Charley Weinert Put to Test at full. The rush line will have Reiher and Kiely at the ends, Gallagher and Dundon at tackles, Welsch-brlnk and Fnrrell at guards, and Pollack, the Standard Union all-sohol-astld pivot man, at centre. Maloney will probably run Brooklyn team with Doyle, Bowen and Saunders rounding out the backfleld. Petrllll and Furey will play at the ends; Weeks and Lougnrnn will hoM down the tackles, and Tlerney, New Utrecht star, and ZleJ.

ler will sandwich Kane at centre. Brooklyn goes into the game usually a strong favorite, owing to Its traditional triumphs. Brooklyn has every game since the schools established football relitrions about eight years ago, but St. John's has been Ira proving each year. St John's approached nearest to a victory las! year when the Red and White held Brooklyn 10-7, losing out through a sensational field gonl hy Mattlmore, who Is also Ineligible this year.

Coach Grace, of New Utrecht, hope, to turn In his second victory when hs sends, bis Green eleven against Evander Chtlds to-morrow at Com. mcrciat Field. New Utrecht, under the leadership of former Coach Cohen, humbled the New Yorkers by -4 last year and are confident of winning by an even larger score this year, A del phi Academy Is stronger thla season than fcr many years past, but It Is hardly good enough to extend the crack Polytechnic eleven which la in line for championship honors Coach Bohnet will probably send hl first team Into the fray for a period or so, and leave Adelphi In the cart of the scrubs for the rest of the game. The game may provide a fair work-out for1 the lmportnftt games to come, with Poly using Adelphi as a stone In Its attempt to wipe all previous point-scoring records into ol-livlon. BRENNAN COAGH HF about the only real struggle sched uled.

Of tht other four the best pros pect for a good match appears to be the clash between Evander Chllde and New Utrecht at Commercial Adelphi Is almost certain to be massacred by Poly at Dyker Heights. It is possible that either or both of the contests between St. Francis and Glen Cove out on the Island, and between Marauand and Friends Academy at locust valley. mav result In something unusual. but they do not give as much promise as tiie headliner.

The five aames. to-morrow nnng seven of the eleven 'football playing schools in Brooklyn into action. Tne only reason that the other four. are not playing to-morrow is that they are scheduled to play on election day. Next Tuesday Erasmus Hall ana Manual Training will-lock horns In their regular annual battle, which wll take place at Ebbets Field In the omr.

At tne same ume ine Blue and Gold, and the Buff and rIiia are mussina each, ot up. Boys' High and Commercial will dig up the liatcnet again at commercial Field for another of the famous clashes of the schoolboy season. Consequently, with every school due: to get into the football war either tomorrow or Tuesday, the week-end Is one of the busiest of the campaign. It la very probable that Brooklyn will go Into the battle against the Red White a decided favorite, but It is unlikely that the odds will be exceptionally elong. On form Brooklyn deserves to be made the favorite, its record far excelling that compiled by St.

Brooklyn just now is in the middle of a fighting drive to capture the Brooklyn championship. The Crown Heights eleven has won every game it has played so far, four In all. Its record Includes a victory over Manual's formidable team. 1 Apainst this St. John's can show three victories in five games played.

The teams the Lewis avenue students have beaten, however, are greatly Inferior in calibre to those that Brooklyn' has defeated, 8t. John's has lost to Erasmus and Flushing, but the performances against these teams stand out more to the team's credit than its victories. St John's lost by 13 to 0 to the Buff and Blue, and by 7 to 0 to Flushing. The only team that each school has played Is Lynbrook. Brooklyn beat Lynbrook 60 to 0, while St John's i rolled up 39 to 0 against the Long Islanders.

Brooklyn would be a much stronger favorite were It not for the fact that several of Its stars have been put on the ineligible list by the facultV owing to scholastic deficiencies. Among those out are Capt, Driscoll, Harrison and McCullough. All three of these had earned regular berths and were among the mainstays of the team. They were banned just before the gnme with St Joe in. Philadelphia last Tuesday, and Coacn Kane was fortunately able to choose substitutes capable of standing up ngalnst the Quakers.

It i is a question whether Ht. John is any better than St. Joe. The crippling of the Brooklyn eleven In this manner might be expected to cause St. John's stock to soar were It not for the fact that the Red and White Is also suffering from the same trouble.

The Lewis avenue athletic hoard has ruled Capt. Jack Kennedy, the stnr fullback, and Andy McDer-mott, the regular right half, off the squad due to their falling down In classes. As a result Kennedy Is believed to have left school. This action has presented quite a problem to Coach King just before the most Important game of the season. How ever, he has been working a capable pair In the speedy McCabe and Regn into the recent games, and has been developing them with the Brooklyn gnme In view.

Tommy Meany will probably call the signals, with Dooley and Regan at the halves and McCabe I 1 (.

The final event introduces a comer In Jimmy Mars, of Long Island XMty, and Toung Luby, of Bridgeport, who baa quite a reputation. Jimmy Mars Gets Big Chance.

TORNELL ELIMINATES BEAR CUB MASCOT The familiar bear cub, mascot which accompanied Cornell foot-ball teams on all Important game trips during past few years, will not be among those present when Cornell lines up against Columbia at the Polo Grounds tomorrow, several husky cubs Jn" turn made journeys to New a'ork but their peculiar proclivities, which included regular bear sized bites and clawinas of unsusnectinar students and spectators, caused them to lose favor with the Itha. cans.

Coach Dobie also had something to do with the elimination of the husky little bruins. Dobie has no use for mascots of any kind, and insists that if any one connected with Cornell football Is going to climb a goal post it shall be a player on the way to a touch, down, and not the mascot.

CT.n Bahnka Tlm.kMper Charles Koch, Score SJ.i1"1 flr klf Nauonala fr.n-satkoo, EAST NEW YORK STARTS SOCCER SEASON Sunday afternoon at SO P. at East New -Tork Oval. Rockaway avenue and New Lots, East New York will start the soccer season at homo. The East New York team has played eight games under the name of the Calpe American and has won seven and played a draw game. The team is composed of some fine players and Is managed by Mr.

Ferro. As East New Tork Oval was being; used for baseball during the las month the team was compelled to travel, and this will be the first game at home and a large crowd Is expected to attend. The opening attraction will be with the Flushing Field Club, who are expected to give the home team some stiff opposition. Bast New Tork Is a member of the Metropolitan Soccer League, and all of the best clubs affiliated with the league will be seen at East New Tork Oval. Games' will be played until March, and the games will be played regardless of the weather, as the soccer players play Just as well In the rain and snow as on a dry field.

Hoth of the teams have completed the preparatory work. The Jungle- town outfit went through a last drill yesterday afternoon; Don Lourle directed the team hoth at signal drill and In the short scrim matte that foK lowed. II.ink Garrlty also got into the signal drill, but was taken out In favor of Smith when the rough work began. The Harvard players arrived from Cambridge last evening: and spent the night at the Pennsylvania. The eleven looked unusually husky and It was said that the team will average close to 190 pounds when it takes the field to-morrow afternoon, xne quad proceeded to Trenton this morning before making an advance on the stadium this afternoon for a final practice and to accustom the kicker to the air currents.

After the drill the squad will again return to Trenton where It will remain until Boon to-morrow. 4' The game Is looked upon as a vaty even thing. Princeton, with both Lourle and Oarrity back In the lineup, will be a different team than that i which lost to both the Navy and Chi-' cago. Harvard, which lie Id the great Penn State eleven to a tie a fort-; night ago, only to suffer a relapse and lose to Centre laat week, has I regained Its confidence and anticipates a victory. The Crimson hus-i kies always play better football In the big games of the year than they do in the preliminary contests, ana 1 as much can be expected i Most students of the gams pick Princeton to win, but a decision the other way round would not be a very Teat surprise.

The Cornell squad, ready for the frame with Columbia at the polo Grounds, is also in town, domiciled at the McAlpin. The sra-me to-mor- row will give New Yorkers an oppor tunity to determine just now gooa tee Big Red team is, or how weak Its opponents were. Uloomy oil uobie will start his regular line-up against the Ulue and wnite to-morrow ana from all indications Columbia will be snowed under a mountain of points. Buck O'Neill's pupil, however, have a habit of doing- unexpected things, and it Is quite possible that the University Heights boys will make a stronger stand than is anticipated. The team went through a hard week of drill during; the past week and is said to have learned a lot.

Other games on the card for tomorrow are the Army-Notre Dame i tussle on the Plains at West Point, the Pennsylvania-Lafayette Imbroglio at Franklin Field, and the Fenn State-Carnegie Tech affair at State College. Georgetown and Fordham will settle the Catholio school championship at Washington, while Pitts- wuis niu vuguga euisjHa in ine Bmoky City. From a purely football standpoint the Notre Dame clash with the Cadets is the most attractive game on tne day's card. The Hoosier Cath olios always come East with a trick or two up their sleeves, and general. ly play a spectacular rani, Coach Bockne has perfected the forward I pass to a high degree of effactlve- tiess and will undoubtedly spring the passes on tne pointers to-morrow.

The Army team has been greatly strengthened by the return of French and should give the Westerners a warm argument It will be a great game any way you look at It. Notre I Dame will probably win, but the Pennsylvania, beaten last week by Pittsburg, apparently will be handed another lacing by Lefayett. in the JjYankUn Field contest. iAfayette trimmed Pittsburg early la the att- son. and has a very powerful tsam.

The backfleld is fast, heavy and well coached. "Cots" runner ts a gnat kicker and also a ball carrier of ability. Helsmaa seems to be unable to get results at Penn. and probably will be compelled to watca his teas accept another Yale in preparation for the Prtnee-v ton game wiU take on Maryland Is the bowl To beat tMs outfit should not be a difficult task. sUthourh tht Chesapeake Bay representatives are said to haw a Better Uran erdlaary team, which early la aha aeasua took Rutgers tote earns.

The Navy antlct pates a tough gains against Buck-nell, which recently held West Virginia to a tie, while Penn State Is favored to win by a comfortable margin from Carnegie Tech. George town, which a few weetca ago beat Beaton, IS to most uk a winner ever Fordnant. On a par with anrtblns; hi the East will be the Chicago-Ohio Stats struggle at Chicago. The winner win probably capture the conference championship.

Many persons think that Chicago reached its peak for the Princeton game, and that the team la not now as strong aa It was then Let It be said that the Maroon their Princeton form can ro back a lone way before, most opposing teems catch up. They shape us as winners over the Buckeyes. Howard Jones' Iowa eornfeds make the jump to Minneapolis to take on Minnesota, and should win with a bit to spare. An Intersections! game of note brines together Detroit and Springfield in the automobile city. XAVIER FIVE TO PLAY.

The Xavler Seniors, freah from their Victory over the Rockaway Whirl winds, will this evening meet the crack Grernpolnt Majesties, who will have in their lineup McGarry and Bennett, of the Knights; Connie Murphy, of the Louphlina: Sullirao and Eiseman, of the fern woods. IATJW CYCLE HAVERFORD CYCLE CO. S16 Broad war Brooklyn. T-eraw stork af oi 11 I Cycle, alwafa Against Harry Metropolitan devotees of the manly art will be able to determine to-night exactly how far Charley Weinert has traversed tht trail that leads to the proud josltlon ht held four or five years aero In the heavyweight division. Charley hat had unusual success in New Jersey rings during the past twelfth -month or so, but has met few opponents of class.

To-night he gets the real as he Is asked to combat Harry Greb, the Pittsburg light heavy, in the mala bout of the show to be offered by Tex Rickard in his celebrated temple of awat at Madison Square Gt'den. The pair wdl tour over the twelve-round route, and should Weinert dispose of C'reb before the scrap has traveled that far or win decisively on poin cs, he will have to be regarded as a serious contender for Jack Dempsey'a heavyweight crown. It Is hardly' likely that such a result will be recorded in the historlo arena, however, as Greb is perhaps', the shiftiest light heavyweight now appearing; before the public. He has beaten every one near his weight consistently, Including the great Tom Gibbons, Jell Smith and Kid Norfolk. The winner will be signed to meet Bill Brennan, which should be lncem-tive enough to make both men step at their best pact.

KicKara has rounded up i high-class supply of talent to sup port the, main imbroglio. Of particu lar interest to Brooklyn fans Is the scrap between Pepper Martin and Charley Beecher, billed to tour over the eifht-round route. Martin Is regarded hereabouts as a right shifty battler, and Is picked to win over Beecher. Both men possess corking left hands, but Martin Is believed to be the faster, both afoot and with his dukes. In another tight-rounder.

Pay Keiser, who accounted for a warm argument against Billy Shade some son of the Immortal Ruby Robert of otner days. The other (eras on the card brings together Eddie Hare. and Hugh Walker, of Kansas city. Homer Smith Here for Bout. Homer" Smith, of Kalamazoo, heavyweight champion of Michigan, and touted throughout the West as a worthy aspirant for the leading role in his division, trrlved In Brooklyn to-day ready for his fifteen round encounter with Billy Shade, of Cali fornia, at tht, Clermont Avenue Kink to-morrow merit.

with record of twenty-six knockouts to his credit. Brooklyn fans are awaiting with Interest the showing that the Michigan puncher will make atralnst the sensational Coast lad. Shade handed a decisive trimming to Fay Keiser In the Oarden recently, back ing up tne reports wnicn preceded him here from California and Aus trails. Youner Mlkt Donovan, of New Tork, son of the famous middle weight of other days, will meet Tommy Madden, the Brooklyn mid dleweigrht. In the ten-round semifinal Saturday night.

Madden carries a terrific kick In his right hand, and only a short time ago flattened Jack McClelland, who had been re tarded aa a sensation on the Coast.
