Since Yale took the Princeton team into camp at the big bowl last Saturday the stock of the blue eleven has gone up over fifty per cent. and there are many who be- lieve the New Haven students will wind up their season with a victory over the Cambridge men. Two weeks ago the New Haven boys were not given a look-in by either Princeton or Harvard, but since they took the at Cam- | bet May Expect ecalps of the Tiger moleskin warriors there are many who are willing to that Harvard will have to its best team ready and fit for the fray at the Stadium. Yale has had a number of drills during the past few duys and, judging by the manner in which the men practice, they are con- fident of making things mighty warm tor the wearers of the crimson. Har- vard is in condition, and Coach Haughton and Captain Mahan _are confident their team will take Yale into camp and of winning by a big score. The probable lineup of the two team elevens November 20 will have | Great Battle be: Yale—Right end, j right tackle, Way: right Sheldon: center, White; Plack; left tackle, Church; quarterback, Van trand; right halfback, Wilson: halfback, Bingham: fullback, Guern- sey.

Get Shevlinized and eat a steer. Some time ago football form was only judged upon a team’s November showing. Under this system Syracuse desires to know how many other elevens on the map could beat Col- gate 38 to 0. Princeton, with one victory over Yale in twelve seasons, desires to | know just what is meant by ‘“Yale's extended slump.” If Yale is in a glump, or has been in a slump, what i the exact status of Princeton? Accounting for Princeton’s cave-in against Harvard and Yale is simple enough. In these two games the LIGHT Grantiend Rice Tigers fumbled ten times. A fumble is supposed to represent a distance of sixty yards. Ten fumbles represent; 600 yards. Princeton had a 8ood! team—but not good enough to spot Yale and Harvard 600 yards and emerge in front. 1910-1915, Five years ago Tom Shevlin came East, reorganized a reeling Yale eleven and carried it to victory over Frinceton and a tie with Harvard. Five years later Shevlin returns 2nd carries an even more disorganized Yale eleven to victory over Princeton. | How about Harvard on this occa- sicn? What chance has Yale to make an even fight now against Haughton's cust Offhand, we would say, not very | much. Harvard in 1910 was still, under the Yale spell. It took her two years after that to finally break through tradition. ‘While Harvard and Princeton looked to be well matched at their November meeting, lale will find Harvard's mental atti- tude quite different from Princeton’s. Yale scored as many points against Frincetan a year ago as Harvard scored. But Harvard beat Yale 36 to 0. The Blue Chance. Yale will make a bitter fight against Harvard—one of the hardest any Blue eleven ever made. But Harvard knows too much foot- ball and is too well fixed psycho- logically to be upset by any sudden rush, however determined it might te. The fact that Yale could beat Princeton and that Syracuse could Leat Colgate 38 to 0 shows that any- thing can happen. But it is almost impossible to see how enough can happen on Saturday to put the blue on even terms with the Crimson or glve Yale an outside chance to win. The Harvard of 1910 and the Har- vard of 1915 are two different proposi- tions. “It is my firm belief,” writes a Syracuse entry, “that Syracuse today could beat any eleven in America. I ?‘)elle\‘e today she is one or two touch downs stronger than Cornell, Pitts. turg or Harvard.” This belief may be pointed in a perfectly proper di. rection. But what is to be done about t7 Maxims of the Fourth Down. Why bother about repar with Tom Shevlin loca,lcdpnxyda\vzdy"g:s- tween the two coasts, ready for a quick start in either direction? In football and in life one fumble will lose more ground than five hard rushes can hope to gain back. “Now, if Penn beats Cornell, Yale beats Harvard and Penn. State beats Pittsburg,” begins an exchange. We have an elastic imagination, but we don't care to stretch it too far. The rubber might wear out—or snap. Ain’t. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) “Ain’t” is an improper abbrevia- tion of ‘*‘are not.” British writers spell it “a’'n’t,” which properly cates its derivation. Americans make it an inclusive offense, using i. “am not” and “is not” as well as for ‘“‘are not.” It is, unquestionably, the worst instance of slovenliness in the common speech of today. Yet it is by no means of universal or even common use. 1t wiil slip ot onally from refined lips, with a jar to the educator as well as to the hearer. But the habitual user of “ain'ts” is careless of refine- ment. indi- alwavs cat. thing slipshod about him somewhere. For “ain” is needless as well as ca- cophonous; it fills no void and sup- plies no need. One is rather surprised to learn that Kansas normal school students have formed an “Anti Ain't Association.” Ond had scarcely fancied that the outrage was sufficiently common to merit or warrant a society of organ- ized antagonism. Among normal school students especially, it might be imagined that “ain’ts” and ‘“haints” would be rare birds. It is neverthe- less commendable to establish an in- terdic Even where there are no “ain’ts” today there may be a brood tomorrow . English observers complain super- ciliously of the laxness of American speech. American observers who have listened to the marvels of Lancashire Yorkshire, Devonshire and other shire dialects are inclined to resent any as- sumption of British superiority. But it is none the less desirable to elim- inate our own linguistic sins, and of these “ain’ts” is the most deplorable.

TO HAVE LIGHT SCRIMMA New Haven, Nov. 17.—Coach Tom Shevlin and his corps of assistants began today further developing the Yale football team for the game with Harvard at Cambridge on Sat- urday. Special attention was to given to improving the attack and the defensive work of the ends. The | Blue’s offensive against Princeton is | considered to have been only ele- | mentary, and it is understood that Shevlin has some new plays involving the forward pass, which are to he | used against the Crimson. Little scrimmaging was looked for during the remaining days of prac- tice, be HERRMANN TO LEAD REDS At Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 17.—A Herrmann, chairman of the National Baseball commission was yesterday elected president of the Cincinnati baseball club at the annual of the board of directors.

HARVARD NOW FEARS SHEVLIN'S ELEVEN - Crimson Goaches Who Saw “New” Yale Team Greatly Impressed Nov. 16.—Yale's$ over the Princeton has made the Har- Cambridge, Mass., football victory Tigers last week vard coaches get down to real businers during the final week of practice for the Crimson team. The eleven has been confident of beating Yale since its success at Princeton ten days ago, but the players who saw Yale on Sat-* urday came back very much impres- ged with the individual strength of Tom Shevlin's outfit, There was a real scrimmage yester- day afternoon between the regulars and the scrub team, which, although it lasted hardly ten minutes, was ex- ceedingly hard. Tomorrow the coaches intend to send the second team against the regulars with the Yale plays, and there will be nearly a half hour's test of the hardest kind of football In the scrimmage with the “subs” the 'Varrity did not score by rushing, but Mahan made two field goals from the 50-yard line. Later seven of the 'Varsity coaches, Storer, Leary, Wig- glesworth, Pennock, Campbell, Brown and Permenter—played on the deferft | sive against the regulars and had & "lively ‘“scrap.” The coaches have been figuring on the lineup for several days, and finally nave decided to put Cowen at right guard at the begin- ning of the game, instead of Mose- ley Taylor. Cowen s heavier and stronger than Taylor on straightaway work, but the latter is certain to enter the game before it is far advanced. In the back field there is also more than an even chance that Enwright will take Boles' place, he belng heavi- er and better fitted for a defensive game. These changes will bring the aver- ' age weight of the team close to 178 pounds, and it is figured that Har- vard will need every bit of its “beef" against Yale. The squad is in fine condition Both Rolline and Dun- can, as well as McKinlock, are re#fly for hard work, and Harvard wil] start out Saturday with every one of jts regulars and first substitutes avaf]- able. meeting | YALE { New BASKETBALL SCHEDULK.
