M Princeton, N. J., Nov. 11.—Prac- ping a defense against the lateral and the Minnesota shift, which e Elis are expected to spring on turday, occupied ajor part of e time at Princetos At first € scrubs, who used the plays, made pme headway, but the varsity soon plved a defense against them and in pe last part of the scrimmage the | prubs found it impossible to gain. 4 Mr. asked Trinity if it was their | { awkward rookie when | He didn’t have a ghost of a i doubt, | i { Cambridge, Mass.,, Nov. 11.—Stub- born Dick King, once the lowliest of scrubs, now stands full flush at the entrance to the Harvard gallery of ! big football heroes. It was King's | long leap in the lair of the Princeton Tiger last Saturday that started the pendulum: of vietory well on its way toward the crimson. King was an he reported for the freshman football in 191:. chance to make it, but plugged relentlessly by fall. The next fall he reported for varsity and for a whole season en- dured the bangs more successful rivals. He was often told that he would never make a football player, but still he persist- ed. In the spring of 1914 he was a baseball candidate for pitcher, and when he was dropped reported for the infield. Dropped again, he bob- bed up with the explanation that he might make a good catcher. Sexton, the coach, amazed at King's persis: tency, requested a manager to tell his he was dropped for good. King then took to rowing, but without and chaffing frow | success. Last fall he reported for football again. No one on the squad unless it was Percy Haughton, ‘m- agined ‘that he would be chosen | among the forty men who compose | the varsity. It was then that King | took counsel with Charley Brickley, | the crimson captain. Brickley tooic him under his wing, advised him and tatught him a few points on footba.l but at that King just ba to the fringes when the chosen. * King made his worth known | however, almost from the start, and, much to his delisht, was used as a sub against Yale. This year he has come along fast and is considered one of the best Harvard backs on the defense. King is married and lives in Watertown. He has two children, a little girl two years old ‘and an infant son six months old. | He is working his way thréugh Har- | vard, and consequently finds little | time for college clubs and has a { membership in none. He is a Boston Latin School boy, as were two other men who played against Princeton —Soucy and Billy Boles. BURNS IS FOULED Walter Mohr Hits Oppenent in Groin, Causing End of Exhibition The boxing exhibition last evening at the armory, came to an abrupt end in the fourth round of the star bout, when Walter Mohr accident- 1y ripped a hard blow to the groin of his opponent, “Kid” Burns, with the result that “his kidlets” dropped to the floor writhing and moaning in apparent pain, while cries of “foul and quit” went through the hall, That Burns was fouled there Is no but it of accident on the part of Mohr, who was held blameless by most of the spectators. The fight while it last- ed was a whirlwind affair, both boys fighting like wildcats. Mohr was the aggressor in infighting with an op- ponent. who was willing to stand up The last serimmage of the year was | d yesterday and the coaches | ithed a sigh of relief when all the ! len came out of the practice without B injury or bad bruise. All the jgulars are at present in first-class pndition, with the exception of Gen- , who still is out on account of | old infury. | The team which lined up for sig- Jsls today was the same as that | ich faced Harvard, except that Putterworth occupied the pivot posi- | on. The eleventh hour shift in | up which Rush was expected to | hake did not come to pass. 1t is ighly probable, however, that Moore Dickerman will test their ability jalnst Yale at some stage of "1’" ne.

Mohr's appearance last night not covered with as much glory his recent appearance in this city, there seemed to be a tendency on the blonde boy’s part to be grouchy ana ugly. He was the recipient of catcalls in the third round when =t the close of the bell he slugged Burns several times after the beli rang, for which nothing commenda- able can be said. 5 When the unfortunate occurrence took place a physician was summon- ed and on entering the ring he ex- amined Burns. Later he again look- ed over the boxer and in the pres- . ence of several people the doctor ad- mitted that there blow having bheen The bes was struck, L bout of the night was the gemi-final between Tommy Shea of New Haven and “Red” McDonald of Staten lsland. It was a case of an experienced ring general and clever boxer up against a hard hitter and agressive fighter. The mill was very inieresting, on points Shea was a slight winner. His blows' were nct of the K. O. type and its is doubtful that if the boys were fighting yet, there would be anything like ' a sleep producing wallop administer- ed. McDonald is built' along the scrapper lines, but his short reach signs of a ANDFORGEDTOQUIT is a Simon pure case was | proved to be a disadvantage to him, he finding it difficult at times to { reach Tommy's head and face.

COUNCIL SAYS NO, Athletic Body Refuscs to Consider Meriden's Challenge, At the meeting of the athletic coun- cil of the New Britain High school héld yesterlay afternoon it was voted Meriden High school football eleven for a post season game to be played on a neutral field either this Saturday or the Saturday following. The coun- ¢il took the stand that in view of the fact tnat the Silver City eleven had a heduled with the home team this ason and later cancelled it, there should be no attention paid to the | present challenge. Preliminary reports of the receipts of the Hartford-New Britain realized. Permission was granted Professor Davis to sign articles in the Triangular league. Announcement was made that the Yale alumnl will offer a cup each year for various | branches of sports GOLF SEASON CLOSES. President’s Cup Is Captured by C. H. Baldwin—Other Scores Made. The curtain has fallen on the golf season at the Maple Hill links and the announcements were made of the win- ners of the October tourney last even- ing. M. H. Pease had low score with 345 with a net of 305. W. T. Coholan was the winner in the low net score, 283. A tie occurred in the freak score made from all the Jow scores of the season between C. H.

The winners in the October contests were presented with silver cups, the gifts of the New Britain club. | BASEBALL TEAMS PLAY TIE. | Shoshone, Idaho, Nov. 11.—The baseball teams representing the Amerlcan and National league, which are touring the west, battled to a tie in their game here Vvesterday after- noon.

Did | 8iX or seven yea | W. and J. ana fall for militarism | Haven to the sword? Tip to Yale. If Walter Camp or Tom Shevlin or John Kilpatrick haven't time to take charge of Yale football—and Yale still desires a Yale man to take charge of her coaching system—we have a nomination to make. His name is Mike Donahue. He was captain of the Yale Freshman eleven of 1902. He was afterward | sub-quarter on the Yale ‘varsity. | After leaving Yale Donahue went to Auburn, Ala., where he has built up one of the fincst football systems in the country. One proof of this is the | fact that it has been some years since Auburn’s goal line was crossed, and in the last five years Auburn has won at | least four Southern championships. Something About Donahue. Donahue, with little prep, school material to draw on, has been taking |the raw product and teaching it fun- | damental football—and then building up his machine. He works along sound lines. He understands both men and measures. He is a high class | sportsman in every detail and one !who is widely liked. { In addition to that, he has had over ! geven vears' coaching experience, and g been a keen student of the | come, has worked out many success- | il processes of his own, Two or 1three years ago, when Carlisle had one of her good teams, the Indians were unable to score against Dona- hue’s defense. Yale might do a whole lot worse than take a chance in this direction. Donahue has faced far harder situations than Rush ever did before returning to Princeton. Recently Virginia beat Yale 10 to 0. Later on Virginia beat Georgia 9 to 7, scoring 3 points with 8 seconds left to play. Yet against Georgia with almost a new line-up, Donahue’s Auburn team won 12 to 0. Here is a Yale man, a clean sportsman and a fine coach. What else does Yale need? The Fun of Playing. When a man is a star at any sport vou can wager your last rupee that he geots a bale of fun out of his play. A ball game to Ty Cobb Is a picnic, Mathewson has been In professional baseball for fifteen years, and yet he gets as much fun out of a game today as he did around 1901, when he was iust getting under way. “It will be the toughest day of my life,” said Matty recently, “when T turn in my uniform for good.” In football there isn’t a man in the game who has a better time on the field than Eddie Mahan. Football to | Mahan is all play—an afternoon’s i romp—and the harder the game the more fun he has. This rule is general, but not with- cut exceptions. Jim Thorpe was one of the greatest football players that cver lived—if not actually the greatest for all around value. Yet Thorpe was never keen over football as a sport. He told us one day that he would rather play baseball for a week than to play football for a year. ! If Thorpe had only started baseball | when a kid he would have been an- | other Cobb, to employ 2 ‘highly | oviginal phrase. But he was over twenty-five before he ever gave the summer game any serious attention. Mahan vs. Thorpe. There are many people who believe that Thorpe stands as the sgreatest football player of all time. There are any number of others who believe Mahan carries the great- est all around value Between these {wo there is practically no choice. Thorpe, like Mahan, was big, fast and powerfully built. Like Mahan, he was a fine punter, a great drop kicker, and more than adept at shoot- ing or receiving the forward pass. It would be hard to say which man wae best in a broken fleld. Thorpe had a half shift, a half-body swerve t{hat made him an elusive target. And | he had the most vicious straight-arm swipe ever known. All in all, if there | is any edge to award we believe that it belongs to the Indian star. ! As for Coy. There are any number of football camp followers who believe that Ted Coy was the equal of either. Coy wasn't quite as shifty as Mahan or Thorpe, but he ran vith greater power than either. ‘oy rarely at- tempted to dodge. His main stunt was to run roughshod over his tackler and even if thrown the shock im- idea | .of the big league. Grantland Rice a bale of steam out of his opponent for future reference. The power of Coy's drive might be remembered from a fWest Point inci- dent, where the Yale star left two Army men in his wake, both having suffered broken collarbones while at- tempting to flag the Blue Express. Football vs, Baseball. We were talking with a veteran pall player from the Big Show a few days ago. “You hear a lot about foothall men,” he said, “but very few of them are nearly as fast as such tall players as Cobb, Maisel, Milan, Shotten or any of the fastest runners They don’t get started nearly as quickly. Ball play- ers, through the constant practice of etarting with the crack of the bat, are away like flashes. For the first 90 feet, any way, the average ball player would beat the average football playey a good stride. I know, for I've watched a lot of these supposedly fast these fast | season opened. fcotball players play baseball.” NEW FILLY RECORD Lexington, Ky., Nov, 11.—A world’'s record for a yearling trotting fily was made here at a meeting of the Ken- tucky Trotting Horse Breeders' asso- ciation when a yearling bay filly by Prince Ansel-Illa Moko trotted a mile in 2:17%. She is owned by the Wood- land stock farm at Woodland, Califor- nia. The formerd record was made Ry Miss Stokes when she trotted the mile over the same track as a yearling in 2:19 1-4.

New Haven, Conn., Nov. 11.—Yale began scrimmage practice for the first time this week yesterday and the varsity gave its most brilliant exhi-\ bition of a powerful attack since the The regulars ham- mered first the ineligibles and then the freshmen for a total of 45 min- utes, accumulating a touchdown and a field goal against each. Bob Bingham and Joe Neville made the touchdowns, and Otis Guernsey kicked both fleld goals from the 45- yard line by the drop-kick method. The coaches believe that they h; picked the eleven to meet Princeton. They will use the same lineup that faced Brown, except that Claude Black has succeeded Dick Kent at left guard. Today's work was wholly in secret and the gates of the Yale bow]l will not be opened until the game with Princeton on Saturday. The var- sity’s goal line was not threatened. Tom Shevlin und a number of for- mer star Yale players drilled the regulars on individual play after the scrimmage. LEAGUES MUST RETRENCH., San Francisco, Nov. 11.—Represen- league in the Na- tional Association of Professional Baseball Leagues in convention here, were instructed today to report what salary limits would be acceptable to their organizations. This action fol- lowed a long executive session in Wwhich the policy of retrenchment was declaréd to be imperative. Charles H. Ebbets, President of the Brooklyn Nationals, according to J. H. Farrell, Secretary of the association, who is- sued an official report of the meeting, | advised the minor league men not to establish a standard salary limit for | all leagues. ‘‘Baseball can be saved only by sen- sible regulation of salaries.” Farrell said. “It would be foolhardy for this convention to attempt to fix a general salary limit for all leagues.
