Dig Eievens of Princeton and Harvard Ready To Clash on Gridiron Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 8.—The two tig elevens of Harvard and Princeton are ready for their annual battle on the gridiron at the stadium here Nov. 11. This will be the first big clash among the big eastern teams. the eyes of the football fans tered on the outcome. winner is a hard proposition at thi time, as the clevens ar S0 matched. Some w ago Princeton was ruling favorite, but since Har- vard took Cornell into camp and showed such trilliant football with- out revealing her real strength the experts have some doubt as to wheth- !er Princeton will defeat the Crimson. Harvard is not as powerful physi- rally as Princeton, nor does the team boast of as many scoring possibilities, but there’s always the unknown fac- ; tor regarding sensations the magical Haughton system may spring. If the Princeton Tigers do not whip Harvard this fall they will disappoint thousands of Nassau's sons. The Tigers have practically the same team that was beaten at New Haven and lust year. Experience means a lot on the gridiron, so that the Tigers are well off in this respect. The Tigers played good football last fall until they met Yale and Harvard. Then they went to pleces. But this is an other season, and the Prince- ton players, remembering their mis- takes of 1915, are anxious to redeem themselves.

WILL TINKER STAY? Chicago Cubs Management May Name New Team Leader at Anrmx.ll Meeting Next Monday. Now that the voters of the nation have settled their quadrennial argu- | ment, the question next in importance to Chicago will be the management of its two major league teams. Nation- al league adherents probably will have the question answered for them by the first of next week. The an- nual meeting of the company that operates the Cubs is booked for next Monday, and, unless it is adjourned the matter of retaining or supplant- ing Joe Tinker will be settled then. American League rooters may have to wait longgr for anything definite, | as Prestdent Comiskey bined has a com- business and pleasure trip to Wyoming planned for the coming fortnight and has intimated he will have nothing to say about the White Sox management until afterward. That strong opposition to Tinker | existed among the Cub stockholders became known before the end of the city series, and the tip was strong that his successor was being freely discussed. Since then the men who | were dissatisfied with the showing of | the Cubs have had time to look mat- ters over, and some of them are re- ported to have cooled off. Part of the cooling process has been due to the prchlem of how to replace the Cub manager with any one sure to do better. There is an | clement among the stockholders { which, while not wholly friendly to Tinker, is inclined to make sure of an improvement 'before swapping . pilots. Among the possible successors to the Cub management suggested by various stockholders were Frank Chance, Larry Doyle, Jack Hendricks, | Dick Kinsella and Fred Mitchell. It | is extremely doubtful if Chance could be tempted back into major league | baseball after his disastrous experl- | ence in New York, especially as he has a soft berth now near his orange ranch. Larry Doyle has only his HEDGES IN COMEBACK. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 8.—Robert L. Hedges, Louis get back into Browns, may baseball. He is reported to be the man behind an offer made to George owner of the Kansas City American Association team, for the purchase of the A. A. club. One of the stories in connection with the sale is that Tom Chivington, retiring president of the American Associa- tion, will manage Kansas City next year. Tebeau, are the As we remarked some months before | former owner of the St.. while Fordham, with two opportuni- ties to strike a telling blow, was un- able to develop a real punch in the attack. Once a fumble, with the go: line only twenty yards away, stopped the advance of the Maroon; another time McQuade, the fullback of the Southerners, intercepted a forward pass on his own 10-yard line and pre- { vented a touchdown. | A forceful, cunningly planned at- tack, directed by Maloney, who proved himself a real quarterback, told the tale. Twice Georgetown swept down the field in stirring marches, | hurling a power into every charge \that could not be withstood. At the | start of the third period McQuade slammed his way through the line while his interference overwhelmed Cadell, plunging seven yards for & touchdown. So ended an advance of seventy yards after receiving the kic off. Ten plays and a 5-yard penal led up to the touchdown. In the closing moments of the game Whelan, right end of Georgetown, broke free and ran across the goal line, where he caught a forward pass from Gilroy fo rthe final score of the | game. Fifteen plays were used te gain sixty-one yards and the touch- | down. A flercer game between two wéfl- coached, finely-conditioned teams has not been seen in this city in many a day. The play was cyclonic in 1its speed from whistle to whistle, and a8 the battle wore along the boys @l lowed thelr passions to overcome thelr discretion. There was not a little rough work. and finally Cusack, left end of the Georgetown team, playfuls ly punched a Fordham man in the jaw as he ran” down the field after g kick. Cusack was disqualified &t once and his team penalized half the distance to the goal line, & loss in yerds of thirty-five. Fordham's left flank was woefully weak, and it was not long before Ma~ loney, feeling his way along the line with plays of savage power, discqve ered the fact. Then, sure of his prey, he sent plunge after plunge crashing at Huggenvig, slicing his backs in be- tween that worthy and Jack Cantwell, who performed heroic deeds in the ef= | fort to withstand the ruthless advance of the enemy. It was not long before Cadell was sent into the game, and Bull Lowe, former star of Lafayette, moved over to the left side, while Cadell played right tackle. A couple of plays &t Lowe convinced Maloney that thers were weaker points in the Maroon line, and it was then that Cadell res celved the same treatment that had | been dealt out to Huggenvig. Georgetown had the more powerful team. It gained 318 yards in stralght rushing to eighty-one for Fordham, and made twelve first downs to four, The team played as a machine, dnd, cleaning up their forwards, dashed through to take care of the seconds arles. It was the play of the line that made the backfield stand out. In Gils roy the Southerners have a high~ grade man. He is a swift, hard rune ner and a hard man to stop in an open fleld.
