Sturday’s game may .witness the rare spectacle of brother facing broth- er in one of the principal intercolleg- ate gridiron battles. Marion Wilson, brother of Alec Wilson, the Yale cap tain, is a Princeton substitute and hi reserves in the Tiger line-up. As the Yale captain will probably play the entire game in command of his men, he will face his brother in case the Princeton substitute is sent into tne play even during the second half.

HOLY CRO! Trinity Is Turned By Bay State Col- lege On Offer For Football Game. New York, Nov. 12.—Trinity rebuffed again for retaining George Brickley in her lin®-up when she at- tempted to get Holy Cross to take Columbia’s place on the schedule, ac- cording to an announcement made by the New York city alumni association of Holy Cross yesterday. Hearing that Trinity had asked Holy Cross to play the alumni_in this city telegraphed a protest to President Dinand. He re- plied that Holy Cross would not play Trinity on Saturday. A representative of the association said that the alumni did not think it wise to put the members of the team in danger of being professiona and. that after both New York Univer- sity and Columbia had refused to play Trinity for the same reason it was the opinion that-Holy Cross ought to help clean sport by declining the ofler. was WHAT WILL THE ANSWER BE? ‘Wesleyan intends to play the Trin- iltv eleven on November 20. ' That will professionalize the Wesleyan team because of Geo., Brickley’'s presence in the Trinity lineup. Columbia is scheduled to meet Wesleyan five days later, on Thanksgiving Day. Accord- ing to President Kirby of the I. C. A. A. A. A, this will not professionalize Columbia. The Columbia campus was relieved yesterday when it got this ruling, but still is perplexed. The question asked most was: Just how is Wesleyan to be punished #£-it can keep on playing amateur teams after lcsing its own amateur standing?” R RN AN BRI MEN, YOUR CHOICE OF ALL STYLES OF OVERCO ’1 ““In This Big Sale ATS We can give you such values because we have eliminated the wholesaler’s and’ the retailer’s profits. in our own tailor shop—and we We made these garments sell them direct to you at about wholesale cost.

Tomorrow New Haven, Nov. 12.—The return yesterday of a block of 2,000 seats representing an entire section which had been allotted to Princeton, has added an extra supply of unusually good seats for the Yale-Princeton game for the public sale. This makes about 4,000 out of a total of 12,000 origially assigned to Prince- ton which have been returned. The Yale Ticket department had not planned to continue the public sale after today, but due to the unex- pected receipt of the tickets from Princeton there will be an opportu- nity for the public to purchase tick- ets today and tomorrow. The seats. returned by Princeton are in a better section than those which have been on sale up to this time. They are situated between the ten and thirty-yard line, many of them near the playing field. The public sale today will continue in the Yale Athletic offices in Durfee hall on Elm street, the office remain- ing open until nine p. m. Tomorrow morning tickets will be on sale at all of the five gates at the Yale Bowl. The booths at the bowl will be open at 11 o’clock and will remain open until all tickets are sold. BUCKNELI: PLAYER DIE Lewisburg, Pa., Nov. 11.—Elmer S. D. Pettit, substitute end on the Fucknell University football team, died yesterday after an operation for appendicitis, which was performed Tuesday. Football is in no way re- garded as responsible for his death, as Pettit had not been injured at all this season and had not been in scrimmage practice for about two weeks. Pettit was a member of the junior class, having entered Bucknell from the Woodstown, N. High school, where his parents now reside. ! from 1902 : titles him to a special niche in the 413—1252 | To the Proper Quitter. Contrary to the general dope And yet long overdue, I take my hat off to the guy Who knows when he is through: Who knows when he has had enough And lets it go at that, ‘Who straightway takes the harness off ‘And leaves the pastime flat, I like the bloke who makes his fight Until the race is won; But most of them keep plugging on Long after they are done; ‘Their stuff has long since gone to seed, The curtain’s draped their skirt, And yet how very few of them Have sense enough to quit. Still, there may be some Pennsy, Michigan and Yale. They've had enough to know it, but their schedules won't permit them to de- sist. like Lest It Be Forgotten, Harvard is now up and Yale is in the dust. The turn was due. For, lest it be forgotten, Harvard went to 1908—a matter of six years—without scoring a point against | Yale. Tlor these six years the scores wer Yale 23, Harvard 0; Yale 16, Har- verd 0; Yale 12, Harvard 0; Yale 6, Harvard 0; Yale 6, Harvard 0; Yale 12, Harvard 0. In those six vears Yale scored 74 peints to Harvard’s 0. Also Harvard went from 1901 to 1912—eleven sea- sons, without scoring a touchdown on Yale—scoring but four points all that goal in 1908, In the last three vears Harvard has evened up a bit of this by scoring 71 points against Yale’s 5—but even this 5y Grantland Rice 1 having only four or weary while through Kennard's field | five hours of | spare time left. “Where do you get that stuff about the strength of Far Western foot- ball?” queries T.

HARVARD'S STRONG MAN, Cambridge, Mass.,, Nov. 11.—Albert J. Weatherhead of Cleveland, Ohio, was declared yesterday to be the strongest man in Harvard University.

Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 12.—Coafh Yost, upon his arrival here with the Michigan team, announced yesterday that he would not go to Yale as head coach next season, as has been re- ported. “I have a contract with Michigan next season,” sald Yost, “that I couldn’t break if I wanted to and wouldn’t break if I could. This Yale report came to me first when I raw it in the newspapers. You c#h be sure there is no truth in it.” MARTIN AND McCOY MATCHE! “Silent” Martin was matched yes- terday by his manager, Al Sibberns to meet Al McCoy in a fifteen-round | bout at 158 pounds, ringside weight The bout will be held at the Audi- torium, Waterbury, Thanksgiving Day, 5 -~ who scored 1381 points. doesn’t even up for the period be- tween 1901 and 1912. A Hoppe on Hit Fast One, Evidently. Dear Sir: Who overshadows his profession above all others? Did Ty Cobb ever break up a baseball league? Was he ever required to wear Oregon boot to keep his circuit from going to smash? Did they ever put dancing pumps on Charlie Brickley to handicap his educated kicking toe? Dié they ever tie up Mahan’s ankles | or hang a shot ‘to Matty’s wrist? Never thought of asking Jerry Travers to putt left handed, did they? Well then, Willie Hoppe stands aimost alone in spot. He dominates the balk-line billiard field so com- pletely that the world’s next best have grown tired holding the cue while he clicks off the points. They had to make him concede odds to keep him from busting up the circuit. Next week in the New York Theater Con- cert hall, Hoppe must allow from 100 to 200 points in 500 to such stars as Slosson, Yamada, Sutton and Coch- ran. Whether he wins or loses is an- other matter. Surely the fact that he ic asked to give such handicaps en- Sporting Hall of Fame. B. B. C. Cobb and Hoppe. Cobb and Hoppe undoubtedly over- shadow their professions above all others. Each is lonesome upon a crest that holds no other rival. Cobh has led the big league for ten years at bat. There isn’t any one even close to the Royston Cyclone. In the same way Hoppe looms above the balk-line billiard field so completely that there isn’t anybody second. The next man to him is about fourth. “If Jim Thorpe had been on a Har- rd or Yale team,” writes W. L. H., “he would have been labelled the greatest football player that ever lived—and by ten city blocks. There would have been no one even classed with him for all-around value.” The greatest all-around player we ever saw was Octy Graham, of Michi- gan. He was over sixty inches around. Interjection. Football may be a brisker game Than playing on the nine; And yet I'd rather line a hit Than go and hit a line. Players and Coachers. Very few star players have de- veloped into first class coachers.
