Jack McAuliffe Finally, when he heard the" bell, he BBflT ILI M mar has left our shores for the Quid Sod After years of sojourning over here, the only retired, undefeated light weight champion has hit the salt-water trail for the tight little isle and "don't know when he'll be back." "I'm off for Ireland for a visit and to have a look at some fighters over there," said Jack, tilting his pearl gray fedora ovtr the left ear. "I'm told there are some good boys in Ireland who have the makin's and that .nil thv need is the proper kind of handling. ! good lungs. xi. u iuii iney say is true, I'll get me up a stable and bring 'em back to the siates. l m going to handle Dan Don nelly, i9-year-old heavyweight and a great-great-grandson of old Dan Don nelly, once heavyweight champion of Ireland. They say this lad is a bird of a fighter." ' McAuliffe, who has spent a number of years following: the footlights and the ponies, is sure of a hearty wel come on the other side. He is one of the native sons from across the water who never had his back on the floor. rose to his feet and started for his corner, turning his back on Colma. Had not the referee rushed after him and called his attention Wo the fact that the round was not over, he might have been knocked cuckoo. He thought the round had ended. To our notion the tolling off the ten seconds on the bell is altogether confusing. We be lieve the referee could work to better purpose by using his arm and giving an oral count. Most reterees nave Georgie Daly, erstwhile international amateur bantamweight champion, has flopped into the pro game.

Just what the poor down-trodden fighters and managers need in the way of protec tion is a bit vague. Perhaps they want protection against the fast-growing sentiment in favor of absolute elim ination of big guarantees and die be lief on the part of the fistic public that a boxer should be willing to work for a fair percentage of what he can draw to the gate. Bert Crossley, who started boxing on the advice of Jimmy Wilde, is a fair- looking heavyweight. He broke in the other night at Charley Doesserick's Pioneer Sporting Club against Al Rob erts and lost a decision, though he should have -had no worse than a draw. Crossley is one of Charley Har vey's importations. Harvey brings 'em oveV by the ship load, gets 'em a trial and if they don't look right back they go on the next boat. : etnr. rZ thc.-e x:!e oi Ruth, because of his great hitting, . ,1 "?;,. ik-.'.

The other night Bert Colma knocked George Shade down. Shade was stunned. Captain Mallet, who handles Geoflges Carpentier's affairs, on this side of . the pond, was at the ringside when Harry Greb and Charley "Weinert met at the Garden. ' Mallet is authority for the statement that Georges is positively coming back to the States in January or February to fight Tommy Gibbons and several other light-heavyweights. "I came all the way from Canada to look this bout over," said Mallet, "and left a mighty' fine hunting party to do it. You don't suppose I'd want to lamp these two fighters at the sacrifice of good hunting if Georges was not com- , ing back, do you?" see im I'll i mm SPORT SNAP SHOTS Minnesota and Chicago are possibili ties on Yale's 1922 grid schedule. Which recalls the fact that as far back as 1899 Yale played Wisconsin as one of its early season opponents. Nineteen twenty-one may be consid ered a failure at Dartmouth as far as football seasons go, but the Green has cne satisfaction. There was not a sin gle game among the eight played by Hanoverians in which they failed to score. The will to win was there at all times despite a lack of punch that cur tailed the accomplishment of the ambi tion against Cornell, Syracuse and Penn. Georgetown, Swarthmore, Geor gia Tech and Yale were among the oth er prominent teams who proved im mune to the whitewash wielders. While statisticians are busy figuring Must what eleven rolled up the biggest score this season tney seem to be dis regarding the colleges that have proved impregnable against hostile goal seek ing attempts. Of the teams that have played in the east during the last two months Centre has shown the best re sistance on the goal line. Only six points have been put across the Col onels' last line of defense. Cornell has done fairly well by holding its rivals down to 21 points. Navy has only 13 points charged against it; Lafayette, 26; Williams, 3t), and Yale, 31. We are still trying to figure out what Pennsylvania had to be thankful for on the recent holiday. Cornell trampled all over the Franklin, Pa team, 41 to 0. Can you imagine the boys who played football in the old days of the flying wedge and the ready stretchers becom ing interested in booking a game to be played at the "tournament of roses" on the Pacific coast? The only time those boys thought of roses was when one of their number was ready to hold a lily in his hand. Now that the brutal game of football has had its day we will turn to that gentlemanly game of basket ball where in the players dash each other to the maple floor, rub each others ears off against the walls along the sides of the floor and gently "trip" about. This looks like a tough winter for Ban B. Johnson, American league chief. Not a single war in sight, no big deals to remark on, and everything quiet in general.

AFRICAN OPERA TROUPE ON BILL Dan Fitch Minstrels Top liners of a Diverting Pro gram of Keith. day and Saturday, Is a romance of a maid of Savoy. The story, written by Hubert La Due, is dainty and whole some in sentiment. The picture is handsomely staged by Howard M. Mit chell who lias directed much of Miss Mason's best work and the entire sup port of the star is excellent, headed by Raymond McKee as leading man. The romance of "Lovetime" begins when an artist of noble birth, wander ing into a village of Savoy under an assumed name, paints the portrait of a little peasant mair whose beauty has attracted him. The scene shifts to Paris, whither she goes to escape tha attentions of an aged Don Juan and where she earns a living by her abili ty as a singer and dancer. The young artist follows her so does the aged Don Juan his uncle. The latter enlists the co-operation of the artist's aristo cratic mother to prevent a union of the loving pair, and difficulties thereuon are erected. But all comes right in the end, of course; and meanwhile Shirley Mason is busy building up the sympa thy and admiration of the audience for the pretty heroine. ' "Lovetime" is to be reccommended as delightful entertainment. Beaty Compscn in "At The End of the World" at Imperial. One of the most unusual roles ever seen in a motion picture is that por trayed b5' Beaty Compson, new Para mount star, in her first starring vehi cle. "At . the End of the World," which will be" seen at the Imperial theater to day and tomorrow. Miss Compson is seen as "Cherry," the beautiful daughter of a broken down Englishman who runs a cafe and gambling alace in Shanghai, China. She grows up in the atmosphere of the gay resort, serving as a lure for her father's establishmen, yet taking per fect care of herself and possessing fine qualities that are still dormant. Then comes romance, and into this romance breaks the emotions of the lives of other men who are made ' desperate by her charms. The' role is a severe test of the emotional powers of any actress, and Miss Compson is said to have exe cuted it with the same skill and in the same convincing manner iij which she portrayed . her exacting part in Georg-j Lprane Tucker's "The Miracle man." Penry, Stanlaws directed the new picture, which is aji.adoptation of the play by Ernest Klein, scenario by Ed frid A. Bingham, Milton Sills, Mitchell Lewis. Casson Ferguson, Spottiswoode Aitken, JOseph Kilgour and other fa mous players appear In suport of the stai. New York, Dec. 2.

Carl Lancaster, sophomore, was yesterday elected cap ton of .M..rct-r University's football ram for next year. His home is in Flowery Branch, Ga. He plays guard en the team. it seems strange that a man offered $120,000 for three nights' work should refuse it, dcesn't it? Well, Mr. Bennah Leonard, of the Bronx, was offered $120,000 for three fights. That's $40,000 apiece. His three opponents were to be Sailor Friedman, Lew Tendler and Rocky Kansas. Mr. Will Gibson, of the Bronx, Who is Bennah's manager, refused the job. What could be softer for Bennah than the three able-bodied ham fighters nam ed above? Could you think of any thing? They say that Bennah and Will Gib son are sore at. Tendler's manager, a Mr. Glassman. It seems that this big hearted Mr. Glassman grabbed a $5,000 forfeit that Bennah had up when he broke his hand training for the Tendler tight. Some sav that Mr. Glassman gave the coin to'charity."

Now once again the wiseacres say that Mr. Will Gibson is, very, very sore at Mr. Leo P. Flynn, who makes the matches at the Garden, and will not let Mr. Bennah Leonard box there. They say that Leo P. stoVa the whole Shade family of boxers away from Will and that the latter will never get over over., it. Anyway, there's a soft position for Mr. Bennah Leonard. There's also a bundle of Jack. It can be done! Ask any merchant tailor in town whether he can make to your measure a GOOD Suit or Overcoat for $24.50 fault less in workmanship perfect in fit of finest ALL WOOL fabrics and he'll say 'It cannot be done!" But we say it CAN be done and to prove it we make' the following sensational 'offer: Men's Suits and Overcoats Made to Order Up " Boy, Page Mr. Joe Lynch, Please. Say, Mr. Lynch, some time ago Tex Rickard offered diamond belts to all champions who defended their titles and won three times, did he not? You and Pete Herman fought for the bantamweight championship and you were awarded the decision; also the belt. Right? The next time you started out against Herman he made you look like some thing the cat dragged in, did he not? You lost your title and should have handed the belt over to Mr. Herman. Right? A month ago little Johnny Buff, slip ped the champion, Mr. Herman, a past ing and won the bantam title. Right? Johnny Buff is quite a sweet fighter. The belt is his. He beat Jack Sharkey the other night, tightening his claim on the belt: You have the belt up in your furni ture store or some place. It isn't your belt. It belongs to Johnny Buff, and if you were a sport at all you wouldn't play the egg and keep it. Boxing fans know that the belt isn't yours, Mr. Lynch. ' Be a good sport, hand that belt over to Buff, and go out and fight for your right to regain and keep it. You will gain no friends by your ac tions of late, Mr. Lynch. Once more let us all chant, "Youth will be served." For young Jake Schaefer a chip off the old block, has dethroned Willi? Hoppe as 18.2 baik line billiard champion. "When we speak of youth we refer not so much to real ages as to their billiard ages. Begin ning as a lad, Hoppe has held the throne for 12 years. Schaefer was amusing himself with a toy table when tired of his wagon and other toys when Hoppe began his reign. Now Schaefer, still a young man, has succeeded the wizard. Hoppe's popularity hasn't been dimmed any by the defeat. The biliard public still appreciates, his greatness. But it's a good bet that the cue fol lowers will appreciate the change. Augie Moran just ruined the winter for the sport dopesters by signing to coach another ytar at Centre college. Think of all the places the scribes could have had him coaching within the next few months. The Dan Fitch "African Opera" troupe is holding forth at the Academy theater during: the latter half of the week, to the delight of a large number of Keith fans, who gathered there Thursday afternoon and night for the usual three performances. Mr. Fitch was formerly a star in the big min strel troupes but went into vaudeville. He is here with a troupe of nine peo ple who gave a splendid performance. The offering was a regulation min- sirei one, witn semi-circie, end men, jokes, vocalists ' and other minstrel fea tures. There were several splendid songs rendered in the best style of j minstrelsy. Then a back curtain raised and revealed a realistic cotton field j with rt cabin in the midst of it and '. an aged darkey sitting nearby singing I "Old Black Joe." All members join in j an old-fashioned minstrel dance and ; the act ends in a burst of minstrel j melody. One of the hits is a singer, j who does a yodle resembling the clari onet yodle in the "Memphis Blues" as most bands play it. Brooks and Morgan, singers and dancers, present an interesting act, with several song numbers standing i out as the best features. "My Sweet . Wyoming Lullaby" was one of their best numbers. Lewis & Norton, in a ! sketch entitled, "Touring From Coast to Coast"; Florence Brady, "the per sonality girl" and Orna and Partner, novelty cyclists, were the other mem-1 bers on a diverting program.

Neely, Manager 24 West Trade St. CAROLINA ELEVEN TO BATTLE WITH GATORS Chapel Hill, Dec. 2. Carolina winds up her football season when she meets the University of Florida tomorrow in Jacksonville. The playing of a post-season game smashes a well-established precedent here, but the decision to accept Flori da's invitation is generally approved. The two institutions have not met be fore, and it is regarded as altogether suitable that they should begin their athletic acquaintance. Both teams have tied South Carolina, a circumstance that justifies the hope for a hard-fought match. Letters and telegrams received from Carolina alumni dwelling in Jackson ville say that the city is looking for ward to the event with the keenest an ticipation. It is only recently that the University of Florida has won a high place in Southern football, and the State, is eager to see its team tested against one that has collected the scalps of Maryland, V. M. I., and Virginia. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 2. Final organ ization of the Southern Intercollegiate Conference, which is to govern ath letic jtontests between the larger in stitutions of the South from" Maryland to Louisiana, was begun here today at a meeting of representatives of the 13 institutions now members of the con ference. The meeting will be in session Fri day and Saturday and, in addition to adoption of a constitution and by-laws, it has been announced by Professor S. V. Sanf ord, of the University of Geor-! gia, president of the conference, that several other colleges and universities are expected to join the conference. Plans of the new organization pro vide that a student must have been in college a year- before plaj-ing on a college team, that no student who has played intercollegiate athletics for ?ke institution can ever so represent another and that no student may en gage in intercollegiate athletics for more than three years, and that fac ulty members shall be in the majority on athletic boards.
