Philadelphia, Nov. 24.—Dr. Carl Williams gave the Pennsylvania team its final scrimmage yesterday before the Cornell game on Thanksgiving, and today will see the last practice | on Franklin Field before the big game. The varsity squad of twenty- five men will leave for the White- marsh Valley Country Club Monday morning and will remain there until the morning of the game. The scrim- mage yesterday afternoon was not especially encouraging, but this was probably due to two reasons. The first was that the scrub team dis- banded for the season at the close of the practice and they gave evrything they had in order to keep up the custom of outplaying the varsity on the last scrimmage of each season. The other reason was that the field was so wet and slippery that the regulars experienced great difficulty in working out their new plays effec- tively. The varsity backfield for the great- er part of the scrimmage was com- posed of Rockefeller and Derr, at halfbacks; Ross, fulback and Bell, at quarter, Loucks took Bell’s place for only about a third of the total time, and this was taken to mean that Dr. Williams has decided that the lat- ter's punting is more valuable to the team than Loucks’ all around, bet- ter playing. Williams, the regular fullback, has not been up to the mark lately and had a rest today. Several prominent alumni have brought great pressure to bear on the board of coaches to get Quigley reinstated on the varsity squad. It was found that the only evidence the coaches have that big fullback broke training was that he was seen eating peanuts the morning of the i Michigan game. Quigley declares that a friend gave him a handful and he thoughtlessly ate a half dozen or kept 80, and that otherwise he has strict training all season. Nevertheless the coaches are kept at all costs and absolutely PAWNEES VS. CORINTHIANS- All roads will lead to Traut's Park L strong all-colored Corinthian football team will meet the Pawnees.

Huston, half owner of the New York American League club, declared most i emphatically yeste.day that he and his business partner, C‘ol. Jacob Rup- pert, would have a baseball park of their own before the close of the 1916 baseball season. The reitera- tion cf this oft repeated statement ‘was prompted by certain publications of vague rumors that the ncw own- ers of the Yankes did not intend im- | mediate building operations, that they had not made up their minds to move from the Polo Grounds and that the determination of the Federal League to establish at 145th street and Lenox avenue might upset com- pletely whatever plans the Captain and Colonel mizht have entertained upon moving over into Quecns. here is not cne word of truth in this strange propaganda of rumor and insinuation,” declared Capt.

We asked no charity of them; to pay fancy prices for their excess baggage. Why, if our colleagues are so concerned over our personal safe- ty, did they heap up obstacles toward our team’s building up to a prominent position by allowing the three strong- est clubs in the American League to confer the market on stars? Wherf our colleagues can answer that ques- tion satisfactorily they may have ! some better right to advise our ad- ministration. “We have been criticised,” said Capt. Huston, “not so much for pro- viding ourselves a new home as for our determination to move off Man- hattaw if we find it to our advantage to do so. We are told that we are deserting the local field in favor of the Federal League. “Well, I can tell you we have in- vestigated thoroughly every phase and angle of Manhattan’s various sites. ‘We could have built where the Fed- eral League will build, at 145th street. and Lenox avenue. By so dolng, however, we would have increased ra- ther than diminished our operating expenses. We might have located right on Forty-second street. That would have entailed an outlay of mil- lions and an upkeep far too extrav- agant for any return adequate for such an investment under existing baseball condition: AMHERST ELECTS CAPTAIN.
