It is doubtful, how- Whether Yale would declare the thletes eligible again, even with juest from the New Jersey insti- p.

Beaten by Penn State and held to a tie by the comparatively weak Navy team, Penn was supposed to be in for an awful drubbing at the hands of Glenn Warner's new ma- chine,, but the old fighting spirit, that in years gone by made the Pennsyl- vania warriors always to be feared, made its appearance in a most decided manner, and the Pittsburg men had to battle for every inch gained. The 1cason for this pleasing change in style of play may be tracted to the fact that the Pennsylvania men were not worked to death in practice during the past week. Captain Harris, who was not in the battle against Pitts- burg, will be back in his regular place in Penn’s remaining games. TRINITY ANSWERS ABOUT BRICKLEY No Indication That Brickley Will Be ‘Withdrawn From Football Team, New York, Oct. 28.—What will be the final word in the matter of New York University's protest to Trinity with regard to playing alleged pro- fessional players on its football team, remained undecided yesterday, al- though a rather undecisive answer anent the good understanding 'h has mutually been reached. nother link in the chain of good erstanding that has been forged he Big Three, is ' the action of tain Aleck Wilson last spring, in ting here Frank Glick and Ned an, the Princeton and Harvard tains, for conferences on several fons. They discussel all sorts of stions connected with the coming ball season. New Haven being graphically, a center between nceton and Cambridge the confer- les were all held here. The result the closest bond of sympathy that s ever interwoven into the football ms from the three big universities a single season. Nearly every pcutive detail which could be con- red was discussed and adjusted [l the sport was put on a firmer is than ever before by the talks visits. ‘ ‘aptain Aleck Wilson summed up visits and the talks and also pwed his own calibre as a sports- n when he said recently in talking fa friend of the visits of the Har- rd and Princeton captains: “Ned han and Frank Glick are my per- @l friends. I have known them h for years and T prize their friend- p highly. Why shouldn’t we be pse friends as football captains? jhy shouldn’t we talk over together things that we regard good for the ort?

Trinity’s reply wasad- dressed to the chairman of the com- mitcec on stndent crganizations and canie from the acting president of Trinity college. Although it is moped that Trinity will comply with the demands of the local university authorities, it is by no means certain that such will be the case if the former sees fit to treat the protest in the same manner that simi- lar requests from other institutions have been disposed of. The letter, which hasbeen the only official communication received, rep- resents the faculty’s attitude in re- gard to the matter, and expresses the expectation of an amicable settlement of the entire issue. It reads as fol- lows: Thank you for sending me a copy of your letter to our faculty commit- tee. It is written in a very friendly spirit, and I appreciate fully your delicate position in the matter. Just what action will be taken by the col- lege in this matter it is impossible to say, because the question regarding eligibility does not come before the faculty, but is settled by our alumni advisory committee, in which the fac- ulty is represented by two of its mem- bers They plan to hold a meeting in the near future, and will decide what to do in the case of Mr. Brickley. Yours sincerely, HENRY A. PERKINS, Acting Pres. In addition to the step already tak- en, it is probable that the general meeting of the New York student or- ganization, which takes place today, will produce some further develop- ments in the case, which will be in the form of a protest on the part of the student body, in accordance with and supplementary to the stand already, assumed by the athletic authorities, It was stated authoritatively yesterday that it was not probable that the Vio- let would cancel its game with the Hartford eleven in any case, but | whether future athletic relations with | the latter will be countenanced is still to be decided. According to one of the football au- thorities at Columbla, no protest will be made to the Trinity management agalnst the playing of George Brick- ley in the Columbla-Trinity game on November 13, It 1is argued that | Brickley's alleged professional play- ing was with a oaseball team, and that, whereas Columbia might protest if 'he were to play on the Trinity base- ball team against Columbia, his work on the gridiron has no bearing on the matter. However, he matter has not been taken up officially by the Colam- bia football heads. ’ Good-bye Baseball. Williams college has cancelled ' its baseball game with Trinity college next sprng, it was announced last night. Williams recently declared its determination of severing all athletic relations with Trinity because George Brickley, said to be a former profes- sional baseball player, was a member of the local college football team. IN BAD SHAPE. Several Players of High School Team Out With Injuries. The foottall eleven of the New Britain High school is in the throes of a hard luck slump, with the Tre- sult that a number of its star players are at present incapicitated with in- jurles and will probably be unable to participate in next Saturday’s game with Holyoke at Electric field. These players are Curran spffering from boils, Koplowitz, a sprained wrist, Brackett, bad ankle and Conley a strained leg. These players are among the strongest in the lineup, and their loss at this time has a bad ef- fect on the other members of the team. Captain Dudack and Coach Zwick ‘has decided to abandon further scrim- maging for the remainder of the sea- son, and the eleven will have but sig- nal practice daily. ‘With the Hartford game but a week away the outlook for the team |is somewhat dubious at present, al- though Captain Dudack is confident that his boys will come through with a victory.

BASEBALL PEAGE RUMOR IN CHICAGO It Tovalves National and Pederal Leagues, But Tener Is Silent 27.—Chicago papers print today a story that peace terms have been reached under which the Feceral league and the National league will unite. The story was pub- lished upon the return of President Weeghman and Vice President Walker of the Chicago Federals from New York, where they were for three Chicago, Oct. story published, includes the possible purchase of the New York Nationals by Harry Sinclair, owner of the New- ark Federals, and the union of the National and Federal teams in Brook- lyn, St. Louls, Pittsburg, and Chicago. The grounds at Nowark would be used by the Glants on Sundays. The Brook- lyn Federal league grounds might be turned over to the International league and agreements for the union of the clubs in Buffalo and Kansas City with an International league club to go into Baltimore are included in the plan, the papers say. Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. —Chair- man August Herrman of the National commission when told today of the report that peace terms had becn reached between the National and Federal baseball leagues, raid: “I can say nothing, or rather, I have nothing to say, but it is a story worth print- ing.” The talk of peace between the Fed- eral league and organized base- ball has been strenuously denied by both parties to the controversy in this city. The Federal league scouted any such idea, and President John K. Tencr of the National league says that he has no knowledge of any peace move. Organized bascball men have maintained all along that there was not room for three major leagues, and that peace could come only with tie complete surrender of the Federals, which would mean that the league must cease to exiset It was also said recently by President Tener that there had been no meeting between the Fed- crals and organized ball since the one in Philadelphia after the first game of the world’s series, and that one was only for the purpose of hearing what the outlaws had to say ING-MARTIN MEET TONIGHT Sterling Battlers Ready For Sound of Gong This Evening.
