Koplowits has from experience gain.d in past sea- sons developed into a wonderful de- fensive player and also a star on catching forward passes. Hibbard a new man this season, has fast learned the rudiments of'the,game and al- though he is not as fast as his part- ner, he is nevertheless a steady reli- able end. The remainder ‘of the line is sterl- ing qualities consisting of Jartman, Curran, Robb, Caldwell, Bradley, Skrentny and Brackett. The boys al- ways aggressive, have proven from time to time their ability to resist the onslaught of the opposition when called upon to do so. Solomon at center has shown a vast improvement and by his work in recent games, he has placed himself in a position to en- title iim to a place on the All-Con- necticut eleven. Clesson Parker the brilliant quarter back is a worthy suc- cessor to such notables as Johnnie Meehan, Olcott, Mitchell and Flana- gan. Always evidencing a cool head, his judgment has been of material as- sistance to the eleven jn attaining its ‘wonderful record this season. The back field of the eleven is where the real strength is shown, the powerful smashes of the backs in the offense and wonderful defensive strength, has made it possible for the eltven to roll big s¢ores against op- ponents, and also prevent them from crossing the home team’s goal lines. col- local In Captain Dudack' they possess a leader who enjoys the popularity of the other members of the team, and who fight with a vim at all times be- hind 'his leadership.

Locals Betting Favorite. ‘While there has been very few bets recorded to date, the local betting, fraternity have considerable money ready to place on their favorites. It is rumored that the Hartford contin- gent has asked for odds of 2 to 1, but it is expected that the betting will be even tomorrow afternoon A number of pools have been formed on the size of the score, and it is said that some of the members of the school stand ready to go broke, if the home team loses.

HARVARD IN ];:IGHTING TRIM. Eleven Believed to be Much Better Than a Week Ago. Cambridge, Mass., Nov. b.—There was a complete letup yesterday after- noon for the Harvard football players who will start Saturday’s game at Princeton, the work being only on signals for the regulars, who, how- {ever, spent a lot of time perfecting their plays and also went over the lay- out of the defenses. The coaches have | worked the team very hard this wéek, | but all the men are in first class trim and the feeling at Cambridge is that the eleven is many per cent. better than it was a week ago. The scrubs | have worked the Tiger plays against the ’varsity in first class fashion, and | | therefore the coaches now figure that' Saturday’s battle is likely to be de- cided on the results of a kicking game. Both teams, so the men in charge here believe, will have to rely on an approach attack, and then depend on drop kicks for their scores. of course, does not' provide for the fumbles, blocked kicks, and breaks of the game. The entire undergraduate student body came down to the fleld and cheered the team while it ran through its final drill. Later there was some brisk football, the freshmen beating the substitutes by a touch- down and the third 'varsity team fight- ing for twenty minutes against the substitute scrubs. After this was over the coaches, Haughton, Leary, Gil Browne, Reggie Brown, Parmenter, Wigglesworth, Storer, Logan, and Pennock, made up the nucleus of a team which ran off a lot of intricate forward pass plays, but at the end of the exhibition tried to make a fleld goal, but missed the mark by yards.

Another such up- lift as that one of a year ago? Or will he have just a good, ordinary eleven? This Princeton game will tell the story, for nothing short of fine football will upset the Tigers with the sirength they have shown in their earlier games against such opposition out forty-two base hits, including three home runs, and were given eleven bases on balls. Fifty men thug stood on the bags, and only twelve runs came in. Having at hand an old Guide for 1910, I noticed the wide difference: Pittsburg, the winner, made twenty- eight runs on-fifty-five hits. What is the explanation? Could any of the clé winners from the Browns of 18856 be conceived returning so few runs from so many opportunities? W. P. P. (Brooklyn.) “Having seen them play,” writes Far West, ““do you know what would happen if the Oregon Aggies ever met Cornell, Harvard or Princeton?” ‘We'd like to know, but as the say- ing is - we're too proud to bite, Greek meeting Greek even in the cld days when Greece was in mid- season form will have practically nothing upon Pittsburg University meeting W, & J. Both have great elevens and both are well coached, with ‘Warner and Folwell in charge, and are well supplied with football flesh. This game should be one of the ranking tattles of the season, with Pittsburg a slight favorite. Between them they Lave put away Yale, the Navy, Penn as Georgetown, Syracuse and Dart- mouth, It is this remembrance of Harvard's dizzy rise last fall that has kept Prince- tcn guessing. On past performances the Tiger should win. But past per- formances don’t always count with a IHaughton machine, definitely pointed toward a certain goal. Princeton has a first class eleven but she is going to meet a better Harvard team than most observers figured she vould meet—and quite a different Yale team than last week's indications seemed to be. ‘Willard is to get $30,000 for facing Frank Moran or Fred Fulton for thirty minutes. And the Russian sol- cier gets one cent for facing Von Hindenburg all day. ALUMNI PLAYERS, Batch of Players to Compete Against Hartford on Thanksgiving Day Report.

The Ithacans have fziled to win the hop-scotch cham- pionship this season, Harvard’s Status. A year ago today Harvard was ranked as only a fair football ma- chine. At this time she had barely beaten W. & J. by a lucky last minute run—and that by one point. She had barely nosed out Michigan in a game where the Wolverines gained two yards to one. She had only been able to tie Penn. State. Evidently Harvard had no wonder- ful machine. And then something happened. Princeton came along and was beaten 20 to 0.
