NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 9, 1 || Murray May Pilot Crimson in Saiurday’s Game---New League Talk is Frequently Heard Again---Yale Baseball Men Out For Practice--College Committee to Define Athletic Evil--Berlin Bowlers Break Records MURRAY IS LIKELY 10 PILOT CRIMSON May Start at Quarterback in Sat- urday’s Important Contest Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 9.—Not satisfied that the 'Varsity team de- fenses against Princeton’s plays had | been worked out sufficiently, the Har- vard coaches sent their regulars against the scrubs yesterday atfer- noon for a brisk defensive drill. The team, however, had a lot of ginger on defense, and the second team play- ers, although driven hard by Reggie Drown, the Crimson’s strategy man, were unable to make very much headway. This work over, the regu- Jars were lined up against the sub- stitutes for what developed to be a very hard scrimmage for this late date, The first team worked with a will in its plays, but did not score except for a fleld goal, which Horween made from the 35-yard line. Horween has been working at dropkicking all fall, and, although not so good as Bond, will do in a pinch if he is able to get into the game against the Tigers on | Baturday. The 'Varsity’s chance for | & score was made possible only be- | cause C. Coolidge recovered a sub- | &titute’s fumble on the 30-yard line. | Murray again was at quarter, Rob- |inson being on the field, but doing no |work. Murray’s progress has been {marked, and it is an open secret now {that he will start the game against Ithe Tigers and will take a lot of i beating before he will have to re- !linquish his place to Robinson for the /Yale game. Tigers Improving. Princeton, N. J., Nov. 9.—There !was improvement in the work of the Princeton eleven yesterday afternoon, jand Coach Rush, apparently satisfied with the manner in which his charges were performing, did not al- low as hard a practice as has been ithe order all this week. Most of the afternoon was spent on signal drill and getting the team into smooth working order, for today’s practice is the last that the team will have in " the Stadium. Jack Eddy and Moore, both whom seem fairly certain now of | starting against the Crimson, were the stars in the practice. Eddy got away for a touchdown in the first | minute of the scrimmage. On | the kickoff he received the | ball on 'his own 16-yard line and dodged his way through the entire scrub team for a touchdown. Moore got his chance when the 'Var- sity started to carry the ball, how- ever, and got away for many long gains. Both Tibbott and Brown were rest- ed yesterday afternoon. George was used in the place of Brown, and prob- | ably earned his opportunity to get in the Harvard game by his unusual " plunging. Driggs, Moore and Eddy completed the backfield. Georgi is a d-op kicker of more than usual ability, and was used behind the line during a brief workout in this depart- ment of the game. of New Haven, Nov. 9.—Yale present- ed only a substitute team in its mid- week game against the freshman team vesterday, and the coaches sald last night that a number of the first string players will not be sent into the line-up against Brown next Sat- urday. The coaches have had to choose between resting several play- ers and getting them into condition for the Princeton game next week ou Saturday or sending them against Brown and taking a chance on the Princeton match, and they have de- cided to use many substitutes against Brown and to disregard the outcome of that match. It was learned last night that Left Tackle Taft, Right Guard Galt and Halfback Bob Bingham wiil be un- able to play against Brown. Bald- ridge, Legore and Quarterback Smith were rested yesterday, but it ig not yet certain whether any of them will be used against that team. The conches yesterday decided to use Cal- Jahan at guard, instead of at center, Bngden will almost certainly start Brown game in Hutchinson’s po- sition at fullback. Pitt Turns Down Offers, Pittshurgh, Nov. 9.—The athletic | ‘authorities at the University of Pitts- burgh have been busy recently refus- ing offers for post-season duels with fvarious rival college teams. Offers have been pouring in from promoters who desire to pit the famous Warner machine agalnst some other crack eleven for a game later than Thanks- giving, but all have been promptly d by the Pittsburgh manage- . which has announced repeated- nder no conditions whatso- A MILD, PLEASANT 5c¢ CIGAB BOWL EARLY Work Off That Cold Aetna Allies CHURCH STREET. i i New York, Nov. 9.—Fred Fulton, the “Rochester Giant,” intends to prove to a doubting world before many months have passed that he would be able to make a creditable showing against Jess Willlard or any other heavyweight. Although Ful- ton has been held cheaply in some quarters because of his lack of real experience, the attenuated heavy- weight has shown such great im- provement since he last appeared in this city that many critics, especially those in the middle west, now rate him as being one of the most prom- ising contenders for the heavyweight title. With arrangements under way for a bout between Fulton and Frank Moran at St. Paul, speculation is rife among ring “fans” as to what chance Fulton would stand with the Pitts- |\ Fred Fulton and Frank Moran ‘ May Battle In St. Paul Shortly yburgh man. The impression is gen- eral that Fulton would more than hold nis own for he has a destroy- ing left hand punch against which Moran would find it difficult to set up a defense. Fulton, furthermore, has improved vastly in ring general- ship, has taken on weight and has been thoroughly ‘“‘seasoned.” Photo on left, Frank Moran; on right, Fred Fulton. one ever will the Pitt players be permit- ted to take part in a post-season game. The Pitt schedule ends on Thanksgiving, when the annual game with Penn State occurs, and that ends football for the year, so far as the locals are concerned. Brown Defense Is Sarong. Providence, R. I, Nov. 9.—The Brown varsity put in what will prob- ably prove the most strenuous prac- tice of the week yesterday afternoon, following a vigorous dummy line against a strong second team, using Yale plays and formations. The fea- ture of this scrimmage was the stand that the varsity made on its 1-yard line, holding off charge after charge before the seconds could push the ball over, and then the touchdown was questionable. This, by the way, was the only score of the afternoon, al- though the varsity had the ball dan- gerously near its opponents’ line on several occasions. Warner Drives Pitt Hard. Pittsburgh, Nov. 9.—Coach War- ner of the Pitt squad got down to real business yesterday in preparing the team for the W. & J. game on Saturday and put them through a hard workout of two hours’ duration that reminded them of the strenuous times before the Pennsylvania con- test. Yesterday's practice was in se- cret, but when the boys came off the fleld they admitted that the old coach had forced them to the breaking point as some of them had stalled off a Ht- tle over the easy game against Alle- gheny last week, and two of the reg- ulars were warned that their pldces might be taken by substitutes on Saturday unless a little more vigor were displayed. W. & J. Halfback Hurt. Washington, Penn., Nov. 9—It was definitely announced at Washington and Jefferson football headquarters last night that Furman Nuss would not be able to start in the game against Pittsburgh next Saturday. In- jurles received in the Yale game have faileg to respond to treatment as rap- idly as had been expected. The bril- liant halfback has not been in a prac- tice since the New Haven clash, and Coach Metzger said last night that he would start Fain, the husky Southern- er, in this place. It was also stated, that Lally, first substitute quarter- back, would not be able to play against Pittsburgh on account of an injury. WITH THE LANE ARTISTS Berlin Construction Company Bowlers Amuse Themselves By Sotting New League Records—Baraca Class. L. Warner of the Engine room five of the Berlin Construction company ! league, established a new record last evening at the Aetna Alleys when he spilled the pins for a 126 score. The Engine room quintet had no trouble defeating the Laying Out room repre- sentatives three straight games. Trevethan of the Shop team set a new high total pinfall record for the league when he twice went over the century mark and finished up with a total of 329. His mates by consistent bowling established a new high score of 1,340. In the Methodist church Baraca league the Athenians trimmed the Epworths while the Trinity five took three strajght from the Wesleyans. The L. L. G. Sewing club lady bowlers held their first matinee of the season, and some fine lane work was evidenced. The scores complete are as follows: Engine. 88 91 L 84 88 Seaburgh C. Warner McQueeny L.

Providence, R. 1., Nov. 9.—H. DeC. Williams, '17, of Daytona, Fla.,, has been elected captain of the Brown swimming team for this season. Prac- tice is now being held twice a week in the pool under the direction of N. V S. Mumford, captain of the 1910 team, who will coach the team until | after the football season, when Coach Huggins will again take charge. With a nucleus of seven of last year’s team and many promising swimmers among the freshmen, the prospects are much brighter than in several years. GOLLEGE OFFICIALS T0 MEET College Authorities to Seek Definition of “Proselyting” at Convention— Reports Submitted. New York, Nov. 9.—Representa- tives of the National Collegiate Ath- letic Assoication, which is composed of practically e recognized col- lege in the country, will attempt to define “proselyting” at their annual convention in the Hotel Astor on De- cember 28, Prof. Frank W. Nicholson of Wes- leyan University, who is secretary- treasurer of the association, has noti- fied the members that this subject will come up for general discussion led by principals of several prominent secondary schools, including Phil- lips Exeter, Andover, Mercersburg and the University School of Cleve- land. In his circular letter to the members Prof. Nicholson says: “The organization is on record in its by-laws as opposed to proselyting. But who has ever defined proselyting, in an athletic sen: How far may a loyal and enthusiastic alumnus go in his zeal to persuade good athletes in the schools to go to his college There will be sessions morning, aft- ernoon and evening. In addition to the usual reports of the committee a preliminary report is expected from the committee appointed at the last convention to investigate the effects of intercollegiate competition. The committee appointed a year ago to recommend changes in the constitu- tion will also report. Among the speakers at the con- vention will be Major Palmer E. Pierce, U. 8. A, the first president and Dr. R. Tait McKenzie, formerly vice president of the association. HOUSATONIC COURSE FAVORED. Yale Rowing Officials Advocate Hold- ing American Regatta On Tt.

Her witz, New Haven, Nov. 9.—Yale's inno- vation of fall practice for candidates for the baseball team of the following season has been attended with excel- lent results, in the opinion of Coach William Lauder, who has ben hand- ling the possible candidates for the nine, who are just now engaged in | football, basketball and other sports. | He has had between thirty and forty men at work on the field when the weather would permit playing against one another in picked teams, with the players at work in different posi- | tions or in different combinations. This process of training of course gives no idea as to the capabilities of the candidates in team work, but it does give Lauder a chance to size up | their individual values and weakness- | es, and helps materially in finding | out how much material he will have | {in the spring. He has unearthed some good men who have not been out before as 'Varsity candidates, and says the team will start out in 1917 with better chances for development than it had a year ago. He expects to have fifty men then, all with a good fighting chance to make the 'Varsity. Yale will have Garfield, Comerford, Fuller, Brainerd and Carey as a pitch- ing squad, with Munson, Mudge. Dann, and Stanley as catchers, all with some experience.
