Mass., Tigers Worked Hard. Princeton, N. J, Nov. 1.—A hard rkout was in order for all the embers of the Tiger squad yester- day, and it was almost entirely dark shen Coach Rush called a halt and sent the players to the showers. For nearly three hours the varsity was sent through a long practice, which neluded dummy scrimmage, signal practice, and- then scrimmage. Four teams were used, and practically overy candidate had an opportunity to show his worth at some time dur- ing the practice. Several of the Tigers have not vet recovered from the bruises which {hey received on Saturday, and sev- cral new men were in the first team lineup as a result. Ames was not out on the fleld todey, as he is still suffer- ing from the results of the contest, and Jack Eddy, although he was out on the field, was not allowed to take | any part in active work Captain | Hogg also had a rest, and viewed the | work of his teammates from the side- Jines None of the players is suffer- ing any serious effects from the game against the Hanoverians, and the en- tire squad should be in condition by tomorrow or next day With the exception of Cyril Haas, who is now coming out in uniform, there are no men who are suffering from injuries of a serious nature. Billy Moore, who was kept out of the game for over two weeks, was able to go into the Dartmouth game for a few minutes, and is now taking his share of the daily hard workouts. He was on the fleld yesterday, but was kept on the second team most of the time. Latrobe, who has been out of condi- tion for a number of days, Is also younding into shape, but he will find 2 harder struggle on his hands to get back his old berth at tackle Signs of Fatigue at Yale. New Haven, Nov. 1.—Slight signs | of overwork and fatigue were appar- ent in the condition of several mem- bers of the Yale eleven yesterday largely produced, it is believed, by the unseasonably hot weather. Galt and Halfback Legore were laid off, Alfred Rosener, the former end, re- placing Galt, and Joe Neville filling Legore's place. Since Halfback Bob Bingham has not returned from his week’s vacation caused by an attack of sore throat, Harold Carey was at left halfback, Neville and Carey figured in the chief ground gaining exploits, Neville taking the ball across the goal line for the only two touchdowns scored, going through guard on both occa- sions for about ten yards. Carey broke through the line for one gain of twenty-five and another of fifteen yards, and Smith got around end for one fifteen-yard gain. Because of the playe: tired condition only ten minutes’ scrimmaging was or- dered. During the first minute the 'Varsity, which was opposed by the third eleven, was held on downs, but after a lecture by Head Coach Tad Jones, they carried the ball fifty yards for the second Guard Galt went to the infirmary vesterday afternoon and either Rose- ner or John Callahan, the former center, expected to be tried out at SMOKE XMOOR A MILD, PLEASANT 5c CIGAB at | football | San Francisco, Nov. 1.—Hawaiian aquatic experts have gone daffy over the performances of Harold Kruger, an eighteen year old boy. champion is versatile.

The re- sults of the Springfield game last Sat- urday were far from satisfactory. Colgate showed lack of ability in in- tercepting forward passes, a point which is now being drilled into the squad, to strengthen it in that re- spect. Bubbell and Spencer are both on the hospital list, which leaves a big hole in the present line-up. Hayes received a slightly sprained ankle, and will be out of the practice for at least two days. The second team pushed the 'Varsity on straight line plunges for a touchdown. Wyer carried the ball, Cornell Bars Onlookers, Ithaca, N. Y. Nov. 1.—None but the coaches and subs will be allowed in the Schoellkopf stadium for the re- mainder of the Cornell season, Dr. Sharpe announced yesterday. This rule was put into effect for the first time yesterday afternoon, and will be strictly enforced for the remainder of the season. The chief reason given for thiy drastic move is that there have been too many scouts hover- ing around the Cornell camp. In the Harvard game the Crimson team seemed to solve the Cornell forma- tions with ridiculous ease. The 'Varsity team yesterday after- noon, with several changes, went through a tough scrimmage prac- tice, and started the working out of the later season plays to be aimed at Michigan and Pennsylvania. Gillies, left tackle; Benedict, left halfback, and Miller, left guard, were out of the line-up vesterday. In Benedict’s place Speed playe Sutton was at tackle and, Babe Taylor played at guard. These changes and other may become permanent as the result of the showing of a number of the regu. | lars in the Harvard game. the first-string men hard and rushed | BASKETBALL DATES AR ARRANGED | College Players to Open Season | Dec. 16—Yale Starts Late Play for the Intercollegiate Basket- Lall _league championship will begin on December 19, when Princeton meets Cornell at Tthaca, as revealod by the schedule for the coming sea- son, announced yesterday.

These are serious and thoughtful days upon the campuses that surround Princeton and Yale. For some time the rumor has been prevalent that Houghton and Harvard this season were in the blighting throes of an off-vear, with no great hope of emerging this placid autumn. But it appears, according to the tes- timany offered from Ithaca, that the Fumor was grossly exaggerated. If Harvard is indulging in an vear,” the word “off” doesn't what Cernell thinks it does. So it happens in the wake of this C'orneil affair both Princeton and Yale are taking very little stock in the alleged Crimson slump. In place of looking for fairly easy picking, they arc beginning to wonder if there is v chance at all of getting safely by.

A Gerrish or a Thielscher would be welcome in Nassau town as the clectoral votes of New Yark, Ohio and Tilinois would be to Hughes or Wilson. l Pittsburgh Again. | It is now what some original cuss bas labelled “‘a foregone canclusion” that Pittsburgh University will again be in a position to claim a share in the fcotball championship spoils. Pittsburgh isn’t to be beaten as this one has the stuff to beat her with. As to whether Pitt is champion of the Bast or West we leave for the geo- graphical experts to decide, We put the query up to a Pitt man, :nd his answer was prompt: Meeting long hitters casts no dark spell As we war over hill and glen; But beating a guy who can putt likell Is something else again. Three hundred yards they may wal- lop the ball And I'll not admit defeat; But when putt after putt begins to fall My goat begins to bleat. Keeping a Haughtonized baseball team out of the pennant is one job. "ceping a Haughtonized football team away from the top is another assign- ment, Yale has stuck by her system of rot dropping any eleven that was vic- torious the season before. bas done this much, anyway—he has civen Yale a chance to frame a new schedule next fall if Yale should care to switch.

Thompson with a total of 357, was the runner up for honors, spilling the pins in the three games for three figure scores.

A. U. headquarters yesterday it was sald it would meet with the un- animous approval of the delegates. “This does not mean that women will be barred from competing in amateur sports among themselves, said Frederick W. Rubien yesterday afternoon. Jeither does it mean that all women athletes will be pro- fessionals. ~ The Amateur Athletic Union is eager to see women com- pete in all kinds of amateur sports, but it does not want them mixed up with men, which would be the case if they were given registration. Tt women interested in amateur sports will form a national organization of their own the A. A. U. will gladly af- filiate with it and help it succeed. Women swimmers are the only ones directly affected by the new rule, as they are the only women athletes now registered with the A, A. U. | Defines an Amateur, The definition of an amateur and the provisions for reinstatement and | pardoning power as suggested by the conference of the various athletic bodies last winter and since adopted | by the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America and fol- | lowed by most of the governing bodies | of athletic sports, notably golf and | tennis, have been incorporated in the new constitution. P Additional provision also has been |made to protect the rights of college students to represent institutions. in | cases where the college terms close { prior to June 1, and in cases whera college attendance is not required in conservative semesters. As was proposed by the general conference an. athlete may be dls- barred for fraud, competing for money coaching for money, capitaliz- ing his athletic fame and competing with or against ineligible persons. It was the rule regarding capitaliz- ing athletic fame that caused most discussion at the conference and when finally adopted it read: By granting or sanctioning the use of one's name to advertise or promota the sale of or to act as the personal “I solicitor for the sale, or as the actual salesman of sporting goods, prizes, trophies or other commodities for use chiefly in or. in connection with games or exhibitions in any sport or by en- gaging for pay or financial benefit in any occupation or business transace tion where in his usefulness or vayhe arises chiefly from the publicity given or to be given to the reputation op fame which he has secured from hig perforamnces in any sport rathe} than his ability to perform the usual and natural acts and duties incident to such occupation or transaction. Rule Caused Trouble. The adoption of this rule by other organizations has caused the disquflis fication of many notable athletes, the most prominent of these being Fran- cis Ouimet, the golfer, and Miss Clare Cassell, the tennis player The board of governors shall have the power to relieve a person of tha effect of his commission of any of the acts by reason of which he would cease to be eligible to compete as fan amateur when it is shown to itsvéht- isfaction that such act commit- ted through ignorance, inadvertenee or excusable error, or was committed in a sport in which there was at the time of ‘the commission no general competition by amateurs or was mad¢ obligatory by military duty. The committee also proposes a ¥hle that all delegates to the annual con« vention must be amateurs, and thaf an athlete when competing outside of their district shall forward with his entry a certificate from the handi- capper of his district showing his last three performances. was MURPHY BIG WINNER. ..
