The second team used he Cornell offensive with a lot of knap, but the 'Varsity’s defenses were food, and altogether the Cambridge oaches feel that their team is very | well prepared to give a good ac- ount of itself against the Ithacans. There were few frills in vesterday’'s just hard, straightaway work, th no long gains, but plenty of Eood line play and a better showing han usual on interference. his year’s team is capable of playing petter football against Cornell than arvard did last year seems to be an pccepted theory, and the eleven has been primed for the game more than 'or any midseason match in years. The work between the scrubs and he regulars was very hard. Casey gain showed much brilliancy. A lot bf work has been put on this player by the coaches, and, if possible, he will be developed irto a player to [kick and pass as well as to run. f'here was a valuable addition to the 'Varsity squad yesterday—D. Deacon, pne of last year’s substitute linemen, who has just returned from the bor- der. He will not play this week, but will be brought along, and is sure 0 be at least a valuable substitute hgainst Princeton and Yale. There was a host of coaches on the jleld yesterday. T. J. Coolidge, whose ninety-six-yard run at New Ha- en two years ago was one of the kensations of the game, helped coach he ends. Sam Pelton worked with khe kickers, on whom much time is being spent every afternoon. Sweet- Zer continued at right tackle vester- day. Cornell’s team arrived this orning and practicéd in the stadium jearly this afternoon. Eli Cubs Jolt *Varsity. New - Haven, Oct. 27.—The - Yale reshmen eleven which was sent yes- erday afternoon against the regulars ffor a thirty-minute midweek practice me bothered the ’Varsity consider- Three times the 'Varsity terri- invaded, but no touchdown stered. Herbert Kempton, man captain and former quarterback and‘ captain, starred for the 1920 team, three times circling the ’Varsity ends for he first down, once for ten yards, jonge for thirty and again for forty jvards. On two occasions attempts at drop Jkick goals were resorted to by the freshmen, Hammel, tackle and Half- jback Campbell each falling in field goa] efforts from the ’Varsity 40-yard ine. Hammel's try fell short, while Campbell’s was blocked by Guard Charley Galt. On the third occa- sion the freshmen -lost the ball when [Center Rush Waters made a bad pass and Galt, who was surprisingly lively for a 230-pound player, nabbed the ball. Kempton’s superb field gener- alship was in evidence on several oc- casions, resulting in the freshmen lgaining more ground by rushing than any college rival which has met Yale this fall. He. captured punting hon- lors for the day with a 70-yard kisk. The 'Varsity scored twice, the first touchdown being brought close to the 1920 goal when Halfback Harry Le- gore circled end and broke into the open for a 65-yard run to the fresh- man 1-yard line, where Braden ripped a hole through center for tha score, W. and J. Off For Yale. Washington, Pa., Oct 27.—With the entire undergraduate body of ‘Washingthon and Jefferson college at the station to give them a rousing send-off, the W. and J. football squad left Washington last ning for New Haven for the Yale game on Satur- day afternoon. Twenty players, the taken to New Haven, of Coaches Metzger and Wesbecher. The players were: Captain Willber- 1y, Drew and Straw, guards; Guy and Shields, centers; Henry, Carroll, Creel and Loucks, tacklees; Whitehill, Tres- sell, Wickersham and Moore, ends; Stobbs and Lally quarterbacks; Nuss, Gurley,, Ruble, Crawford and Bixler, halfbacks, and Fain and McCreight, fullback largest ever were in charge Await Dartmouth. N. J., Oet. 27—Head ush changed his plans Tigers Princaton, Coach Spe for preparation for the pronteat 1 put his Tigers through another harq owrkout yesterday aft- ernoon, in which there was some scrimmage. A long drill in dummy serimmage was in’ order for the aft- ernoon, and Rush utilized part of the time in attempting to perfect sev- eral of his pet formations, which he will , spring against Dartmouth ,on SMOKE OXMOOR A MILD, PLEASANT 5c CIGAB That | ing out the plays that are to be used Dartmouth | saturday. The receiving and covering of punts came in for its share of at- tention from the coaches in spite of the fact that the Tigers have prob- ably proved more proficient in this de- partment of the game than in any other. Ames and Eddy were on the re- ceiving end for the greater part of the time, while Wilson, Highley, Funk | ana Rahill came down two at a time ! under the spirals which Driggs sent up into the air. The work of the half backs in blocking off the ends after their man had received the ball did not thoroughly satisfy the coaches, but the work on the whole was good. 1l Dr. Sharpe Is Optimistic. Ithaca, N. Y., Oct. 26.—The Cornell football team departed for Cam- bridge last evening amid the cheers of the undergraduate body, 2,000 stu- dents marching to the station. “We have as good a chance of beatin Harvard as the team did last year said Head Coach Sharpe. “The teams look evenly matched, and there will be no one-sided score.” The coaches took a squad of t~en- ty-six men, including capable subs for every position. The team held a short scrimmage on the alumni fleld, work- against Harvard. The entire 'varsity eleven is in the best shape of the year, although a few individuals are perhaps not in the best of physical condition. The team, Dr. Sharpe said, is not as far advanced as it was a year ago. Improvement in end play and more dash and ginger all around have been conspicuous features of the last few days. Speculations to the final lineup of the ’'varsity was set at rest yester- day when Dr. Sharpe announced that the team would start the Harvard game as follows: Ryerson, left end; Gillies, left tackle; Miller, left guard; @arey, center M. Anderson, right guard; Dixon or Tilley, right tackle; Zander, right end; Shiverick, quarter- back; Benedict, right halfback; Muel- ler, fullback. The coaches let it be known yesterday that they would count heavily on'the good punting of Shiverick and Benedict, while Shiv- erick’s drop kicking is expected to prove a big feature. Howard Berry’s Toe Fails. Philadelphia, Oct. 27.—The first disheartening detail that has de- veloped since Penn's eleven began shaping up for its contest against Pittsburgh University in Pittsburgh Saturday caused Coach BGb Folwell considerable apprehension in the final practice here yesterday afternoon. Folwell has been counting on How- erd Berry, his long distance kicker and fullback, to be in the pink of condition for the conflict, but from the way Berry was forced to drill yes- terday it dawned upon the mentor that he may not have for the Pitt game the same J. Howard Berry whose brilllant work counted so much in the victory over Penn State. When Berry started practice yes- terday afternoon, Folwell noticed that he limped. He was unable to punt with his usual precision, and Folwell realized that when Berry wrenched his leg in the Penn State game his chances for glving his best on Satur- day were less than at first believed. Because of this Folwell instructed the fullback not to try kicking. A stiff hour’s workout was devoted to signal drill and a dummy drill di- rected at a mythical Pittsburgh de- fense. Charley Henning, who will start the game at guard, said yester- day afternoon he never felt better. “I | have recovered from the effects of the operation for appendicitis,” Te de- clared, “‘and I will start the game full of pep.” Send-Off for Dartmouth. Hanover, N. H., Oct, 27.—The en- tire Dartmouth student body gave the Green toam a rousing send-off yester- day for its contest with Princeton on Saturday. Thirty-two members of the squad, with Coaches Cavanaugh, Ghee and Randall, Squad Physician Dr. Bowler and Trainer Hillman, made up the Dartmouth contingent which left for New York last night. The Dartmouth line is considerably weakened by the loss of Merrill, a veteran guard of two years' 'varsity experience. He pulled a tendon in his leg two weeks ago, and although the trainers did their utmost to round him into shape, their work did not ovail, and the big linesman will re- main in Hanover. Youngstrom, substitute center, will start in place. The probable lineup is as follows: ton; left guard, Neeley; center, Glles; right guard, Youngstrom; right tackle, Gerrish; right halfback, Thielscher; fullback, Duhamel. Shake-up at Syracuse. Syracuse, N, Y., Oct. 27.—An al- | most entirely reconstructed Syracuse University eleven will face Michigan at Ann Arbor Saturday. Coach Hol- Jepback yesterday made more dras- tic changes in the line, shifting Cap- tain White from the scrubs to guard on the ’varsity; Trigg from guard to tackle, and placing Segal, a sub- center, at tackle. Trigg will play in place of Schlachter, who is slowly re- covering from the injury to his shoul- der, and who may be able to get into the game against Dartmouth at Springfleld ten days hence. Tddie Brown has succeeded Wil liams at halfback. The remainder of the backfleld will be the same as that which played against Pittsburgh last Saturday. Hollenback stated last right that he expected the Orange to 2 his T.eft end, Dussosoit; left tackle, Col- Trier; right end, Emery; left halfback Two Wray Brother Trying , /C/7° For Position on Penn Elevens ( ] H Philadelphia, Oct. 27.—Head Coach Bob Folwell of the Pennsylvania foot- ball team is worrted, not over the team in general, but over the pos tion of center on the eleven. this trouble is due to the fact that there are two brothers—and Coach Folwell is as yet undecided as to which one is the better for the pivotal | position on the eleven. Both the boys have shown up well in the mid- dle man’'s job, and it is a hard mai- ter for the coach to decide which to make as the regular. Photo shows left to right, Ludwick and Alexander Wray, the two brothers who are try- ing for center on the Pennsylvania eleven. show greater speed and power against Michigan, and that he looked for a victory. Hamilton, N. Y., Oct. 27.—From the grab-bag of possible football dates Colgate drew far from a light assign- ment in the game with the Springfield . M. C. A. college scheduled for ctoper 28. Colgate, in its four vie- tories so far this season, has with the exception of Illinols met only teams which could handily be defeated and might well be termed practice games. Beginning with next Saturday’s game the tables are turned and from then | on the Maroon meets some of the strongest gridiron aggregations of the East. Springfield, in last week’s contest Temped away from Amherst with & 20-0 win. This and previous suc- cesses of the Y. M. C. A. men show them to be a very formidable op- ponent. Coach Larry Bankart has ; this week been putting the Maroon squad through the stiffest practice workouts so far this fall, From 3 o’clock until darkness prevents the following of the ball, Whitnall Field is | the scene of intense action. \ Two brilliant prospects for back- | field positions have developed in Bek and Scott. Scott, of Milwaukee, up to this week has béen trying out auarter, where he showed much ability. However, he has been recent- ly shifted to half and is showing to much better advantage in that posi- tion, and doubtless will be seen in | action in Saturday’s game. Bek, of | Grand Rapids played the greater por- | tion of the game last Saturday against | Rhode Island and to his drive in hit- | ting the line many of Colgate’s gains may be attributed. Trainer Jack Rourke's hospltal list has not been increased this week. "':‘he inability of West and Gille to re- | turn to the game is, however, giving him much worry. It is hoped that these men will soon be able to get in the scrimmage. It is still a matter of conjecture when either will return and until then the Maroon is severely han- dicapped by their absence. CLAN' DOUGLAS WINS. One of the closest and most exciting games in the Fraternal Carpet Bowls league was played last evening on the rink in Lee’s hall, when Clan Douglas, O. 8. C. emerged a victor over Phoenix Temple of Honor team, score 38 to 37. by the brilliant work in rink No. 3 of which Steve Robb is skip, when the defeat. Rink No. 1 also emerged from the fray with a win over their oppo- nents, but in rink No. 2 the Temple boys scored heavily, leading by si points. The results were as follows Rink 1, Clan Dousglas 15, Skip Gal- braith, Temple of Honor 13, Skip Middlemans; Rink 2, Clan Douglas 10, Skip Drummond; Temple of Honor 16, Skip Symonds; Rink 3, Clan Douglas 13,.

John Loomis won the local pool championship last evening, when he defeated George Hallaby in the final ame of the tournament at Walsh & Holfelder’s cigar store. The score was 100 to 57. While the outcome was a surprise to the followers of Hallaby, his conqueror was clearly entitled to the victory by the clever form he dis- played. The victor scored a high run of thirty-eight balls. Hallaby, although defeated last evening, wins second place in the tournament. | | | | i | | | i i | The future | | 34 The Setting Sun. “Men shut their door against the setting sun.”—Shakespeare.

The same goes far Cornell if Har- vard arrives in front, since the two finishing schedules are pointed in different ways, In a way, Cornell now looks to have the easler way up; for the Ithacan machine, by beating Harvard, can reach the height by trimming Michi- £an and Penn; whereas Harvard, she beats Cornell, still has Princeton, Brown and Yale waiting in her path with large iron-studden bludgeons held aloft. | Maxims of the 19th Hole.

He evi- | dently did not know the real circum- stances of the case. According to Mr. Fultz, the Boston players received permission from President Lannin and all arrange- ments had been completed; when on the evening previous before the game, the permission was withdrawn. Tt was then too late for the players to withdraw their obligation to play the game.

Dillon of New Ha- ven, won the 2:14 trot, the feature cvent in the final racing of the three day's meeting at Woonsocket today. Five of the heats in this race were staged on Wednesday. Yesterday Karoni, with Brusie up, had no great ¢ifficulty in outdistancing Jess Y., driven by Pitman, in one heat. The largest crowd of the meeting saw yesterday’'s racing. The card proved an interesting one and the close finishes and several altercations between drivers and with judges served to enliven the day. It was decided to call off the extra day that was contemplated as there was not a sufficient number of entries. whole class for general excellence in that has been such a help to him in ! National League Establishes Record The National league during the last | other | and most | f o an American League owner discr: iting the umpires is directed President Joseph J. Lannin, 2v owner in a of the World’s Champion Boston Red from Sox. When the Bostons were fighting f for the pennant on Sept. 19, Presi. {dent Lannin came out with a strong b rebuke against the umpires. He n publicly announced that he planned n | to give up his part of the Boston n Club if his team did not win the K | championship. ~ Mr. Lannin staged f|that he was convinced that the um- 2| pires in the American League were glving his team the worst of it and that his players were discouraged be- cause they thought the same. This statement by Mr. Lannin oe- casioned a great deal of comment in the American League and many club- owners regarded the remarks as called for. Several seasons ago, when Horace Fogel, then President of thé | Philadelphia National League Club, | made a statement discrediting the National League umpires as favoring the Giants, Fogel was dropped from the league. There is much gossip to, task for his statement when the American League meets in Chichbo in December. Criticism of the Bos- ton owner has been frequent ever since he sold Tris Speaker to Cleves! land last summer. President Johnson's interest in con- troversies which involve Manager Mc- Graw of the Giants is believed to date back to the time when the American League was formed. In 1902, whan McGraw was in the Johnson circuit, after it was first organized, he had a serious disagreement with Johnson and came to New York, taking the managerial job with the Giants. He also took with him Joe McGinnity and Jack Cronin pitchers, Catcher Roger Bresnahan, and First Baseman Dan McGann. Johnson, it is said, has not vet forgiven McGraw for this raid ¥n players whom he would like to have had in the American League ranks. President Tener in his statement that McGraw disavowed any intention of reflecting on the integrity of the game, indicates the attltude which the league will evidently take on th incident when it meets here in cember. It is a matter which will c>me before the board of directors of the National League and Mr, Tener and other National League clubown- ers resent the action of President Johnson. e e e e s e 1 KID WILLIAMS VICTOR. Outpoints Al Shubert in Ten Rounds at Baltimore, Baltimore, Md., Oct. 27.—Local fight fans were treated to one of the best bouts last night that they have seen for a long time, when Kid Wil- liams, the bantam champion, fought and outpointed Al Shubert of Massa- ! chusetts. The fight was scheduled for ten rounds, and ten rounds it wéht. | Shubert gave Williams all he was looking for and particularly in the early rounds, when he had the Kid taking punch after punch, but with- out a chance of a knockout, Tn the last three rounds, however, Willlams showed his prowess and went after Shubert eagerly.
