Haven, Oct. 22.—It took the eshmen, whom Exeter defeated 0 a week ago, t0 stop the ade of the Yale varsity yesterday. ftreshmen did it. by tallying a down and holdlhg their oppo- | scoreless. Wallie Winters, the pr Hotchkiss player, scored the down for the cubs. the followers of the Blue In are wondering just how much bvement the regulars have made | g the week. They had been sing of the ineligibles and the ps regularly and the play had evidence of smash and fire. Yes- y was different, however. The coming along entirely to the satisfac- tion of the regular coaches. Soucey’s recent knee injury has not made the coaches confident that he will be re- liable to play through the big games, ‘and Harte’s lack of speed for more than half a game has made the situa- tion interesting at least. Horween was unable to play in the backfield yesterday so that for the Cornell game Whitney or Rollins most likely will play with Mahan and King. Taylor was again at centre and will start against the Ithacans, Parson played for only a time'at tackle today, but R. Curtis,a 176 pound substitute, is not expected in the initial lineup against Cornell. Tigers Have Light Work. Princeton, .Oct. 22.—For the first time in weeks Coach Rush ordered a light practice for the Princeton foot- ball: squad here yegterday because of the heat, and allowdd the 'varsity only 8 few, minutes of scrimmage and only an hour or so of signal drill and kicking practice. ‘'The scrimmage was held' in the stadium, where a good share of the student body had as- sembled to rehearse: the Princeton cheers and songs in preparation for the big games of the next few weeks. The secret signal drill took place on the"old University field. The most significant development of the day was the announcement that Halsey will start the Dartmouth game at tackle in place of Kaufman, who ‘has held that position so far this sea- son.’ Halsey starred on the freshman team last year. Shea, Tibbott and Driggs appear to have the edge in the back field selections. Dartmouth Off for Princeton. Hanover, N. H., Oct. 22.—Amid the cheers of the greater part of the Dart- mouth students the big Green team left Hanover yesterday afternoon for New York city, where it will remain uvntil Saturday before it leaves for Princeton. The team had a light practice yesterday afternoon, putting on the finishing touches of new for- mations and plays for the Princeton game. Dussossoit and Emery will start the | game at ends Saturday, it seems cer- tain. Bayter will be at center and MacDonough at quarterback. A general exodus of students began yesterday and a special train carrying most of the students left today. The squad, which is composed of thirty players, will stop at the Hotel Cum- berland, but it is not known where | they will practice today.

SAGE PARK WINDSOR lleys Reserved Now for Leagues and Parties AETNA ‘BOWLING ALLEYS Ithaca, Oct. 22.—Three thousand enthusiastic Cornell students gave the Cornell football team a rousing send- off last night as it left for Cambridge. “It will take Harvard’'s best to beat | us, all that she has,” said Head Coach | Sharpe in speaking to the throng be- i fore the train 1left. When Daniel | Reed, the big line coach, was called | on he said: “In all my fifteen years’ i experience I never saw such material ias this leave Ithaca to play another | team,” and Captain Barrett speaking for the eleven, said: “Every man on the squad will do his best and I hope that we will bring that football back as a trophy to add to our collection in Schoellkopf hall.” It was this sort of optimistic spirit that ran throughout the team and the tig crowd that sent it off on its jour- ney, and the spirit reflects the feeling of the Cornell student body. The team Tan through a short signal drill before leaving yesterday after- noon. Ewvery man is in fine shape and the coaches feel confident that the temporary slump of the last few days is a thing of the past. In thefinal consultation it was decided to send the same eleven on the field Saturday as played Bucknell last week, starting Fcckley at right end and holding Zan- der in reserve. Shelton will play left end. In the judgment of the Cornell leaders the ends are as good as Har- vanrd‘s, the line better, the backfield as well if not better balanced and the kicking department, with Barrett and Shiverick, superior to that of the Crimson, While Mahan is feared, Cornell coaches believe that Barrett will be fully as dangerous to Harvard as Mahan is to Cornell. Dr. Sharpe said that he thought that Cornell would score by touch- Gown and possibly by field goal. PRINTERS LOSE THREE.

He tese tified that the printed words, “It wiil have to be 40 bucks.” were on the lets ter written by Smith when he opened it. and that the letter had not been tampered with. At the hearing a week ago Smith testified that these printed words were not on the letter when he mailed it. The up-state handicapper was juft as positive that he had received the slip of paper from Kiviat and signed 1+ by him, in which the runner said tha he would run at the games in quess tion for $75. This sMp of paper has been lost, and after some beating about the bush, Campbell testified that | his wife had destroyed it unknowingly: Moran could never hit Willard as easily as he hit Coffey. And if he did, in place of knocking Willard out, the punch would merely arouse the tall Westerner’'s fighting gore. And Moran would find Willard’s punches just a bit different from the jabs of Jeems Coffey, the Dublin Giant. Just a bit, | Against Wiilard. | Moran is game enough and aggres- sive enough. He has the wallop. But he has neither the speed nor the power to give Willard an even battle, or anything approaching an even battle if Willard decided to step out’ end fight. i The man to beat Willard must know more about boxing, more by 700 per cent. than any of the challengers He must have more speed and more bulk than any of the challengers carry. And he must wait at least three years—and, perhaps five, Sizing Willard Up. And yet, while it is generally agreed | that Willara would pound the padding | out of any heavywelght rival now in harness, there is a keen eagerness to see the big Champ face the best test at hand—whether it be against Frank Moran or Jack Dillon. H For Willard has made the big bunk of his fame in just one fight—and there is still a wide divergence of cpinion as to how good Johnson was when he faded out at Havana, back in April. The Kansan’s fame, therefore, needs further testing. He may be an even greater wonder than his supporters telieve him to be. And then again he might not be nearly that good. So his first appearance, wherever that may be, will assemble the ca- pacity of any hall he may give battle in. at $16.50 and $18 October provided an even break for the clan of Moran.
