Today d Wednesday thcre will be signal Jpractice, but there will be no more Boririmage and the second team, the only eleven by the way, that has thus ar scored a touchdown on the var- Fity, disbanded after the afternoon’s vorkout. All of the Brown players, who have [peen resting since Iriday, were in fine shape yesterday afternoon and showed no signs of having gone stale. he scrimmage which lasted until it vas too dark to see the ball, was of most satisfactory nature.. During most of it the second team had the pall and using Colgate plays, was nstructed to get the ball over the line from the flve and ten-yard lines. [The varsity line stood the hammering fn great shape. Most all of the backfield men in he squad had an opportunity to get nto play and all acquitted themselves preditably. Jimmy Murphy ran the varsity most of the afternoon, al- hough Jurdy piloted the elgven dur- ing the signal drill. No Brown squad t this time of the year was ever in good shape for there is not a eripple in the lot and not a man jout who will be able to play Thurs- day if called upon. Students Cheer Cornell.

Y., Nov. 27.—Singing nd cheering and snake dancing as hey marched several thousand Cor- hell students trooped down from the hill last night and gave a boisterous pend-off to the football team which eft for Atlantic City to complete its aining for the Pennsylvania game on Thanksgiving Dav.

If the Cornell team rose to its full height of form, played the foot- ball that was in it, realized to the full possibilities, it would defeat Penn, he declared. The eleven is somewhat of an uncertain quantity, said Dr. Sharpe, but “it has it in it to win.” Bell M: Be Penn Pilot. Philadelphia, Penn.,, Nov. 28.— Penn’s football training for the Cor- nell conflict on Thanksgiving Day took place yesterday afternoon on the grounds of the Whitemarsh Country club at Whitemarsh. After running a mile across country, the players were put through a sharp signal drill. Folwell sent Bert Bell back to his position at quarterback, and intimated that he would start the game against the Ithacans. The players will remain at White- marsh until a few hours before the game. No one will be allowed to visit them until tomorrow night, when the University Glee club will give a concert for the players. A rumor floating about the Penn camp is that Bob Folwell, the head coach, will return next year. Fol- well’s contract is but for one season, but everybody is more than satisfied with the showing he has made. Army Eleven Rated High. West Point, N. Y., Nov. 28.—Lieu- tenant Charles D. Daly, head coach of the, Army; football team, gave out the following statement for publication yesterday. “The Army coaches believe that the 1916 Army team could defeat any team in the country. The 1916 team was as effective as the Army team of | 1914, and its exceptionally high grade ) personnel rates it with the strongest teams in the history of the game. Ex- cept for one period in the final game |it was- never pressed. ' Only those really expert in the game of football | can appreciate properly the great power of this vear's Army team.” . Outwit Ticket Scalpers. Philadelphia, Nov. 28.—The TUni- versity of Pennsylvania students, in- | censed because the ticket speculators | bought up tickets for the annual | Penn-Cornell Thanksgiving Day foot- ball game, made prisoners of a dozen of the speculators yesterday afternoon and took the tickets away from them. Many of the scalvers resisted, but were overcome and marched into the Athletic association building, where they were thoroughly searched and the pasteboards taken away. Cash value was paid in every instance, how- ever. The students who took part were those who were unable to get any of the 2,000 tickets which were sold at the building this morning. When the stock was exhausted the disgruntled BUGVILLE BOWLERS BEATEN Wanderers Smear Middletown Team With Three Time Defeat—Live Oaks-Tigers Match Postponed. Not content with trimming local teams, the Wanderers of the City league handed an invading Middle- town quintet a beating last evening, doing the job to a nicety. The boys from Bugville were never in the run- ning, and the manner in which the locals toppled the pins was a treat to watch. Seldom has prettier team work been displayed, than that shown by the victors last evening, but one of the team failing to hit the pins for a three figure score. Ander- son, Larson and Brennecke rounded out scores over the 300 mark, the lat- te topping the list with 334. Bill's best score was in the final game when he contributed 119. For the visitors Babcock and Tuttle were the stars. In the New Britain Machine com- pany league, the Lathe Room five tock two games from the Tool Room quintet after a hard battle. Sand- quist of the losers was high man of the night with a total of 282 while Linn of the visitors took the honors with a score of 280.

The All-Star Assignment. Whatever its other achievements, 1916 will be entered as the toughest ear on record for those out to gather in all-star teams, There has never been a season be- fore where there were as few who staod well above the crowd and where there were so many first class players of about equal value. Even in the East alone it will be something more than a complex job to round up eleven men who range beyvond the rest of the field. As suggested before, figure out the task of selecting three backs from Pallard, Legore, Casey, Berry, Oli- phant, Vidal, Hastings, McLaren and Gerrish ? At the Season’s End.

Sir: Can you recall a greater achievement by any one eleven that that recently accomplished by Brown? Brown beat Yale and Harvard on suc- cessive Saturdays., That is one thing, PORT LIGHT Grantland Rice dawns and held its own goal line un- crossed. For a team upon successive Satur- days to beat Yale and Harvard 42 points to 6—six touchdowns to none— seems to me to be far and away the leading achievement of the last five vears, FAIR PLAY One hears very little from Brown rooters this seasan for this reason— Brown'’s record speaks too eloquently for itelf without needing any outside aid. The Golf Carnival. Not all golf battles are to be fought | in the south this winter. For within | a week or so the battle over the| amateur question in golfdom promises to star the keenest campaign the old game has ever known. The double line-up is not getting ready for the charge. On one side is the United States Golf assaciation, planning to carry | through its legislation and to enforce | the rule against amateur golfers sel- ling golf supplies or similar occupa- tions. On the other side are any number of golfers and golf clubs who believe the Tule is unjust, barring as it does such contenders as Francis Ouimet and others who were in the buiness long befare they attained any golf fame, The decisive battle will be fought out in January at the annual me&ting. Since both sides have considerable logic back of their debates, it is a matter that should be order that a fair, friendly and lasting arrangement can be brought about that will protect bath the game and the players. We have gathered all the material we could lay hold to from both sides and will soon offer the same for public inspection. The Limit.

PHILLIES OWNER ° RAISES IS VOIGE Baker Opposed fo Spring Infer- League Series ’ York, Nov. 28.—Certain Na« tional league magnates will advocate at the meeting here next month a rule to prohibit inter-leagus prior to the New annual games in major cities opening of the regularly scheduled seasons. The colleagues of Tener have it in their power to end a prac- tice which is largely blamed for the falling Off in early spring interest that has been noticeable in the last four or five years. William F. Baker, president of the Phillies, is one of the stoutest cham- plons of this proposed amendment, Several days ago, before setting out for a vacation ‘in Virginia with Fred Chanler and other influential stock= holders of the Quakers, Baker went on record in the matter, “I am convinced through personal experience in Philadelphia,” said ha, “that the game would be benefitted if ante-seasan games were prohibited in all major league cities. Did Not Pay. “Until last year it had been the custom to play a spring series be- tween the Phillies and Athletics of from seven to nine games. T clubs involved considered themselves lucky if they were able to beat the weather to half of the contests. These thoroughly | meetings got to be an old story with They did not pay. And they ruined both clubs as attractions when the regular seasons opened. The result was that outside clubs in both circuits suffered in their early visits to Philadelphia. “I was responsible the Athletics-Phillies series. Connie Mack was piqued at the time. He charged bad faith on my parf; inti- mated that as my club held the cham- pionship and his was down in the race I declined a meeting in which I had nothing to gain and all to lose. He pointed out that when conditions had been reversed his champions had aly ways accommodated the Phillies. Mr. Mack was wrong in his surmise, 1 can assure you.

TWO KILLED ON TRIAL HEAT. and Mechanician Die When Axle Breal Uniontown, Pa., Nov. 28.—While traveling at the rate of 60 miles an hour on the motor speedway in prep- aration for qualification tests for races to be held here on Thanksgiving day, Charles M. Heist, aged 23 of Sharps- burg, Pa., a driver and Frank BE. Bush of Pittsburgh, a mechanician, were killed yesterday when the front axle of their machine broke. Several other drivers were on the track at the time, but they were flagged in tiine ‘to prevent them colliding with the wrecked machine. Driver OARPENTIER GETS MEDAL. French Champion Boxer Awarded For Gallantry at Verdun. Paris, Nov, 28.—Georges Carpen- tier, the French champion boxer, has been on leave in Paris after taking puart as an aviator at the recapture of Fort Douaumont, on the Verdun front. Carpentier was decorated with the military medal for gallantry in 1 action. ! While in Paris he gave an informal exnibition of boxing at a charity ba- zaar in the Trocadero Palace and was enthusiastically received by the many thousands in the audience. TO MEET SATURDAY. Rascball Commission to Gather in ‘Windy City—Annual Meeting Dec. 14. Chicago. Nov. 28.—The special rieeting of the National =~ Baseball Commission, scheduled to be held here Wednesday was yesterday post- poned until next Saturday because of the inability of President Tener of the National League to be present, President Johnson of the Amer- ican League also announced that the annual meeting of the league, which had been ‘set for December 12, had heen postponed two days. It will be held in Chicago. SOCCER TEAMS TIE, Chinaman In Dartmouth Lineup Plays Fast Game. Philadelphia, Nov. 28.—The soccer teams of Dartmouth and the Univer- sity of Pennsylvenia played a score- less tie here yesterday. Huang, a Chinese student, was in the Hanoverians’ lineup, while Chow, who ‘was his team mate on the Tsing Hua College team in Peking, and is now a substitute on the Pennsylvania team, acted as linesman. WANTED, BASKETBALL GAME, The Forestville second team would like to hear from local basketball A COMEBACK ATTEMPT Charley Treyball is Taken in Charge of Local Men Who Know How to Con- dition Boxers. Charley Treyball, the Hardware City boy who is scheduled to meet Chick McCormick of Hartford in the semi- final bout at the exhibition to be giv- en by the Lenox A. C. in Meriden next Monday evening, has settled down to hard work to fit himself for the bat- tle. In the capable hands of Manager Hector Meehan of this city, the boy should advance toward the title rap- idly, and the local boxing contingent are looking forward to this start in the McCormick bout. Assisting Man- ager Meehan in preparing Charley for the fray are Joe Ryan and Jack Fitz- gerald, two of the wisest conditioners he can deny that we both benefitted by not playing the serfes. I know my club did. In spite of the bad weather our business last spring was the best in ten years. “Ten years ago the season’s opening in the major leagues was the classic event of baseball. It was attended with_all the picturesque display and enthusiasm of the modern world's championship serfes. That it has fallen to a relatively unimportant in- cident can be charged directly to the fact that major league cities have been surfeited with baseball before the regular seasons. If every major league club was careful not to appeat at home until the day provided &y schedule for the season’'s opening it would not be long befare the opening day games would be quite as impor- tant in public interest as they were ten years ago.” Can Kill Practice, The National league, of course, has it in its power to terminate this ap- parent evil. By stopping its membexs from scheduling spring games at home in these parts, and what Treyball does not know about the game this trio will teach him. Several wee ago Treyball, a stranger in these parts, arrived from New York and was matched with Sammy Waltz in the star bout. En- tering into the battle ‘“‘cold” without proper handling, Treyball was the los- er on points, but the Meriden fans are unanimous in the opinion that he gave the greatest exhibition of game- ness ever shown in a Silver City ring. At the last show given by the club, Treyball was introduced, challenging the winner of the McCormick-Brin- disi bout, and the ovation tendered him lasted for several minutes. In going-against McCormick the lo- cal lad realizes that he is to face a tough bird, but this is not worrying him much, and if he does not put across the k. o. wallop before the end of the hors de combat he will be a much disappdinted youth. The star bout will bring together Jerome Hennessey, Pete Fitzgerald's prize featherweight and Sammy Waltz in a fifteen round encounter. The club has made the same excel- lent arrangements for staging the ex- hibition that has featured its past at- tempts, as to officials, railroad sched- ules, ete. BUFFALO DEADS IN FIELDING. New York, Nov. 28.—The official fielding averages of the International league show that Buffalo led in club flelding, with Rochester second. Ur- ban Schocker, now with the Yankees, allowed the least number of earned runs per game. George Maisel of the Yankees, who played with Mon- treal, led the shortstops, and Roxey Roche, a former Yankee playing with Richmond, led the second basemen. Dan Tipple of Baltimore, & former Yankee pitcher, won 20 and lost 12 games. He will report to the Yan- kees next spring. WILL LEAD LEHIGH, teams for a game to be played in that town tomorrow evening, also on Satur- day evening. The Cubs, Shamrocks or any 16 years old team preferred. Clifford Reynolds is manager of the | Forestville team. South Bethlehem, Penn., Nov. 28.— Willlam “Ty” Halsted, of Brooklyn, h:s been elected captain of the Lehigh University footbail eleven for next Season. Halsted plays halfback and in his prep attended Erasmus high. | with rival American league clubs the practice would be killed. There are rules in the big leagues which pre- vent clubs of the same company from meeting except by the unanimous con- sent of all the club owners. Baker, like most of the other major magnates, believes that inter-leagne games in the South are beneficial to the early development of the clubs in fast company. He would prevent such meetings only in major league terri- tory. He believes, lowever, that games between teams of the same league should not be tolerated. “The Cubs lost irreparably in pres- tige last spring by playing the cham- plon Phillies,” he said, “Chicago failed to win one game of a long series. Back home the Windy City fans had been led to belleve by Weeghman and Tinker that they were in line for a National league pennant The city never recovered from this early spring disappointment.” If the National league favors sugh a rule as Mr. Baker will propose it may not be made effective unti] 1918, Already arrangements have been made for a spring series between the Dod- gers and Yankees. Washington has planned to entertain a number of Na- tional league clubs at the Capital City, In any event there will be an unusual * number of inter-league spring exhibi- tions, for wherever possible two teanis of rival leagues will tour northward in company, playing the most fertile towns in transit.
