Dunn will be seen at end, according to Captain Ginsberg. The squad met last evening at the Y. M. C. A. where signals and trick plays were tried out for 2 hours. The New Britain boys, considering the time they have played together, ex- hibit fine form, and can be depended on to give the soldiers a hard battle. ‘W. J. Tobin had charge of last night's practice and tomorrow evening Dr. Frank Zwick will handle the boys. Final practice for the game will be held Friday evening atl the association gymnasium. Among the new faces on the eleven will be Schofield, who CAPTAIN GINSBERG. starred at Cushing Academy scveral years ago.

I, Oct. 24.—Yester- day afternoon the Brown football team was siven its first hard practice for the game with Colgate on Satur- day. Thirty-five players appeared in togs. A real fifty minute game was held and the ty won, 12 to 6. The second team had Pollard, who got away for one of his touchdown runs. The varsity had much diffi- culty in trying to push the ball across the scrubs’ goal line, a well exccuted forward pass for thirty yards from Bordon to Huggins finally turning the trick.

Middletown, Conn., Oct. 24.—Larry Williams, Wesleyan's star hurdler and captain of the track team, has been ordered to report at once for active service in the United States Navy. Last summer he took the examination for Eneign. He has been notified that he has passed and has been assigned to the transport service. Williams' re- moval will also leave a hole in the var- sity football team, since Coach Fau- ver has been using him at halfback in the recent games. WESLEYAN CAPTAIN ILL. Middletown, Conn., Oct. 24.—The ‘Wesleyan team lined up in hard scrim- mages against the freshmen and scrubs. The varsity scored several times. The announcement that Capt. ‘Woolley, who has been ailing since the New York game, has been sent to his home at Great Neck, L. I., suffering from a probable case of typhoid fever had a depressing effect on the team. DE ORO DEFEATS DALY. New York, Oct. 24.—Alfred De Oro of Cuba, world’s champion at three- cushion billiards, defeated John Daly ot New York, 50 to 43, here last night in the first of a three night’s match. Play lasted 78 innings.

Ithaca, Oct. 24.—Assistant Coach John Collyer of the Cornell crews was in the city over the week-end discuss- | ing the rowing situation at Cornell this year. He will not remain here to aid Coach Courtney in the fall | practice, but will be on hand when the spring work commences. It is likely that fall practice for the crews will be given up in the near future. Coach Courtney had a few 'varsity and freshman oarsmen out on | ' | | i | the water at the Cayuga Inlet Satu day, but the number reporting for regular work is not deemed sufficient to keep the boathouse open any longer during the cooler weather. It fal] practice is given up now the can- didates will be excused from further work until December or January, | when machine drill will start at the gymnasium. That Cornell is in favor of 'varsity | and freshman rowing schedules next | spring is shown in the negotiations ! which the Cornell authorities have ! opened with Harvard, Yale and Princeton regarding intercollegiate regattas next May. PERCY LOOKS ON Haughton Sees Harvard Varsity Sub Team Score Five Touchdowns Against Freshman Eleven. Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 24.—Har- vard’'s informal football players had their first glimpse of the season of head coach Percy Haughton yester- day afternoon. The veteran coach watched the scrimmage between the varsity substitute team and the fresh- men and saw the college team score five touchdowns. Hoffman, the quar- terback, did some beautiful open Meld running. Coach Haushton, who is also sup- posed to be coaching the Camp Dev- ens team, which Harvard will meet on Saturday at Aver because the soldiers cannot come here, did little coaching vesterday afternoon, but will be back on the job in earnest if it is decided at New Haven that a team can be de- veloped to play against Harvard a little later in the season. Today the varsity regulars were scheduled to scrimmage against Bos- ton college, aaginst which they scored a touchdown last week. Henry H. Faxon was elected cap- tain of the freshman eleven vester- day. He played three vears at Mil- ton Academy and plays tackle on the freshman team, being one of the like- liest players on the “iuad. PENN IN HARD DRILD. Philadelphia, Oct. 24.—With only three days of practice intervening be- fore the games with Pitt, Bob Fol- well put his Penn players through an extensive workout yesterday after- noon. Bert Bell again directed the varsity at quarter, but the veteran may not be used in Saturday’s game. Dr. Hancock is firm against risking the permanent loss of Bell by putting him into the play for this one con- test. Hobey Light, still suffering from a battered leg received in the Buck- nell contest, was unable to report, but will practice tomorrow. | i the wake of Yale's announcement that jit is to form an informal football i team came permission from Prince- i organize a team to meet an { day afternoon, and the request read- ! ticipation in athletics with other col- | faculty committee gave consent. The PRINCETON T0 HAVE TEAM Form An Informal Eleven—May Play Yale and Harvard. Princeton, N. J., Oct. 24.—Close in ton faculty yesterday afternoon. for the organization of a similar eleven at Old Nassau. The students peti- tioned the faculty for permission to eleven from Camp Dix, at Wrightstown, N. J., in the Palmer Stadium on Satur- ily was granted. It is regarded as almost certain that the Yale and Har- vard games will be played on an in- formal scale. Princeton has had no varsity cleven this fall. The board of athletic con- trol ordered the suspension of all par- leges when war was declared last spring, and this fall it decided that it was inadvisable to organize a team. Lack of men who would wish to play football and inability to finance contests were given as the main. rea sons. Upon the receiving of the in- vitation from Camp Dix, however, football men expressed their desire that a contest be arranged, and the conviction that athletics should be encouraged in the army camps is said to have been one of the impor- tant factors in causing the Prince- ton authorities to make their de- ciston. ATHLETES TO STICK. New Haven Boys Will Not Rejoin Club Despite A. A, U. Action. New Haven, Oct. 24.—Despite the action of the investigators in granting Director John C. Collins a clean bill of health in the New Haven A. A. squab- ble, there will be no rallying to the colors by the rebellious athletes, ac- cording to the word passed around in local athletic circles last night. 1 athletes, who severed their conne. tions with the organization, following a bitter arraignment of the club as conducted under the present regime, claim that the finding does not alter their decision to stand pat. One of the leaders authorized a statement last night to the effect that the ath- letes will run unattached rather than reurn to the fold. The finding in the case, which ex- onerates Collins, was not unexpected by the athletes themselves. Several belligerents expressed the opinion that “Collins stands too strong with the powers that be” while others stated that “our only influence is our word of honor.” GIVES UP BASEBALL. Harvard Will Not Have Informal | Nine in 1917, Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 24.—Har- vard will not be represented, cven by an informal team, in baseball spring, according to an ment made last night. i The Crimson, however, is to con- tinue all its major sports for the freshmen, and arrangements are al- ready under way to give the class of 1921 a regular schedule in hockey and baseball.

But the old Yale spirit is going to bring about a solution. With plans com- plete for the organization of an in- formal university football team com- posed of upper class men to play games with other colleges and the elevens from the military training camps candldates met at the ticket office yesterday afternoon in answer to the first call. ‘ 2About a score of men physically capable of withstanding the rigors of the game were among the crowd that Prof. Robert N. Corwin, athletic adviser, and Dr. Arthu Brides, who has taken the place of Tad Jones as coach, believing that® the notice of the call had been too short, immediately issued another call and last night, with all other stu- dents sately tucked in their beds, can- ¢ didates and coaches and advisers met on the campus. “The Yale spirit is still here,” said Prof. Corwin. “There is no question of the desire of the students here to have their football as in years pasty We are highly optimistic that meeting tonight will draw out enough men to fill up a larze enough squad * to furnish the informal team whizch the university is planning to put in the field. The point, however, which That 1t is the desire of every man in the col. gathered. which will prevent them from or- ganizing one will be the shortage of material.” E | _ Dr. Brides, the coach, felt the same. ! way about it.

Local State Leaguers Get Revenge in Silver City, Winning Three Straight Games—Foote Features. New Britain bowlers staged a fine comeback in Meriden last evening | when the Silver city quintet of the Inter-city league was forced to suc- cumb to a three-straight defeat. Each game was hotly contested, the first and third going to the Hardware city boys by three pin margins. Foote was again the brilliant performer for the the 'century mark and totaling 388 for his night's efforts. “Papa’” An- derson also rolled in steady form. For the losers Ray and Asch were the headliners. The scores: New Britain, sacill G 88 93 115 110 91 94 108 106 507 485 ! Casino.

Laurel, Md., Oct. 24.—Tippity ed last spring as being an unworthy | stable companion for his other thor- oughbreds, raced like a really good horse here vesterday. He won the Longfellow Liberty Bond Handicap and accomplished his task in impres- sive fashion. Carrying the silk of the Brighton Stable he carried 115 pounds, made all the pace and won easily, covering the one mile course over a slow track in 1:40. It was Tippity Witchet's eighth con- secutive victory. Icarus, another Whitney castoff, carried the colors of J. O. Talbot home in front in the Canvasback Handicap at six furlongs. He conceded big lumps of weight to many of his op- ponents and won easily after Basil had led to the stretch. BRENNAN BEATS LEVINSKY. Weight Tells in Sensational 12 Round Bout in Boston. Boston, Oct. 24.—K. O. Brennan won a twelve round decision over Battling Levinsky here last night in the most sensational heavyweight fight held in this city in years. Levinsky showed flashes of great ring general-- ship when Brennan's attack became too vicious. With a superior weight advantage Brennan forced the going and Levin- sky's only salvation was to encounter and depend chiefly on infighting. At this style Brennan was fairly well able to tie up his opponent. MORRISSTY LEHIGH CAPTAIN. Bethlehem, Penn., Oct. 24.—M. A.
