As the Army was the only, team that could reasonably hope to extend the Club in the race for the Senior Shield, 1 went along to Craigengower' to have a look at the game. As I expected the recent wet weather had not helped the C.C.C. pitch to be any better. It looked very nice, but played like the very devil, as those, which did not shoot along the ground, hung abominably and popped up. It was not surprising therefore, iunt the Army did not make very. much of it, but full credit must bi¦ given to Tinker Leo and Omar for the excellent use they made of it. They kept a most excellent length and spun the ball while bowling sufficiently faat to give the bats men little time to alter the atrokes to meet with unexpected Vagarios | sixty-aine the Varsity seemed to of the ball..

The surprise of the League was the defent of the 1:R.C. 2nd XI by the Suppers. The moral effect of two Colonela In the side may have had something to do with it. Anyway, the LR.C. batting broke down badly, and they were all out for eighty-two.
The Police had a bit of a net- back as Craigengower collared their bowling and ran up 176 for 7 he- fare declaring. The Police, apart from Mendown who carried his bat through the innings for more than half the total, collapsed for 60
runs.
If U. S. Senator Hury Long keeps his promise, the play pictured hers won a prometion for Bust Yates, halfback on the Louisiana State University team, who carried the ball over the line for the only score of the game against Georgetown V. in Washington, D. C. Long, following his policy of rewarding gridiron heroes of his adopted alma mater, announced he would make every touchdown scorer ä

Some Possible Matches

Once more Madison Square Garden is toying with the iden of a big outdoor fight in Florida in February, when the north is anowbound, and people with the time and money to play, head for the southland.
The winter custom Tex Rickard inaugurated in 1929 with a $400,000 match he never lived to see, between Bill Stribling and Jack Sharkey at Miami Beach, didn't turn out at all well last February, Primo Carnera and Tommy Loughran drew barely one-tenth of that for a heavyweight championship match in Miami.
