New :York, Nov. 5.—Four games of football to eb played on eastern fields tomorrow will sum up more concisely than any yet seen thei season the present status ond future hopes of the leading colleges in the sport. Cornell will play Harvard at Cambridge, Dart- mouth, ‘Princeton at Princeton; Yale, Brown at New Haven, and the Univer- sity of Pennsylyania, Lafayette at Philadelphia That there should be any doubt as- sult of these gmes marks the advent of the smaller colleges, favored as they have beew Ly rales which in permit- ting open play give the individual player more opportunity against weight and brawn Yale's record this season has been consistently clean, and her powerful offense will be difficult to smother. Dartmouth, ‘having beaten Harvard and Princeton’ in past sea- sons, is no longer faced with equanim- ity by any of the Big Four, while this year Princeton is not up to her best form, as shown in her defeat by Ford- ham. Cornell, too, is in hard luck, and her game with Harvard is not expected to_develop the latter's true form, as it will show against Yale at the end of the scason. The Crimson is always late in rounding into condition, but her defeat of the Army by 9 to 0 in an un- finished game revealed plenty of ag- gressiveness, good kicking ability and a stone wall defense. 3 Pennsylvania, thrice scored on this season, is erratic but dangerous. In Lafayette she faces a team that has defeated Princeton and counts on win- ning tomorrow. NOT YALE'S STRONGEST. Blue Will Play Just Hard Enough to Win—Second String Backs to Work. N w Haven, Nov. 5.—Yale will not its strongest team in the game with Brown on Yale field tomorrow. The veteran backs, Murphy and Phil- bin, will not start the game, and will not play at all unless Yale is in dan- ger of being defeated. The backs will be Francis an¢ Daly and Francis and Savage. Coy will be at fullback, but will retire from the game as soon as his playing is no longer thought es- sential to the winning of the came. There was a short scrimmage today and one touchdown was made by Coy. After the scrimmage the defense was tested thoroughly and the men sent off the field. Paul was injured again and be able to get into the game captain of the 1905 m. arrived here today and assisted in- the coaching. Harvard's Fegulars in the Lineup. Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 5—Light practice of a secret nature was given the Harvard squad in the Stadium this afternoon. It was settled today that Leslic will be at left halfback in place of Corbett in tomorrow’s game, the | latter having been out of the game for over a_week on account of his injur- jes. With the exception of left tackle, where Hooper will be in place of Mc- Kay, all the positions will be filled by the regulars. | 1 Cornell Expects Small Score. | Cornell coaches concede a victory for Harvard today, but expect to hold | the score down.

The game with Har- vard will be the first since 1900 with that college. In the seven games contested by the two_universifies in the nineties Har- vard was invarjably the victor, in most cases running up big scores against the players from Ithaca. In fact, the low- est score Harvard made against Cor— nell durly that time was 13 points, the largest being 77.

PENN EXPECTS HARD GAME. Same Lineup Against Lafayette Against Indians. Philadelphia, Nov. 5.—In preparation for what is expected to be one of the hardest games of the season with La- fayette tomorrow, the university of Pennsylvania football team had very light practice today. Lafayette has always been considered one of Penn- sylvania’s strongest opponents and to- morrow’s game is of especial interest because Lafayette defeated Princeton two weeks ago. The Easton team is composed of veterans and is coached by former Captain Folwell of Penn- sylvania. The Pennsylvagia lineup will be the same as started 3n the In- dian game, Hutchinson, nnsylva- nia’s fullback, who has beem out of the game for three weeks with a wrenched knee, is not yet In condi- tion to play. PRINCETON’S BEST TEAM PICKED to Face Dartmouth Today—No Easy Game for the Tigers. Princeton, N. J., Nov. 5—The Prince- ton football team today went through a long signal drill in preparation for the game with Dartmouth tomorrow. The coaches realize that the local elev- en will have to be at its best in order to defeat the strong New Hampshire cleven. Captain Siegling announced the following lineup ‘for tomorrow’s game: Welch and Ballin, ends; Sieg- ling and McGregor, tackles; Waller and Buckingham, guards; Bammon. center; Bergin, quarterback: Read and Cunningham, halfbacks; Hart, full- backs. McGregor at tackle in McCro- han’s place and Curhingham in place of Dawson at half are the changes from the team that faced Annapolis last Saturday. Dartmouth to Have Strongest Lineup. Coach Walter Lillard has announced the lienup of the Dartmouth team for the Princeton game as follows :Daly, Captain Needham, center; Tobin, ‘left guard; Farnum, right guard; Lang; right tackle; ‘Bankart, right end: Brady, quarterback; Ingersoll, left halfback; Ryan, right halfback; Marks, fullback. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. A MARKET OF SPECIALTIES. Some Shift of Speculative Prominence Back Into the Old Favorits New York, Nov. 5.—United States Steel fell into the background in the stock speculation today and the vol- ume of the 'whole market suffered somewhat accordingly. There was some shift of speculative prominence back into the old fAvorites, Union Pa- cific, Southern Pacific and Reading, but the market on the whole relapsed into one of specialties and was given over to somewhat erratic movements. Yesterday's rumors that the listing of | United States Steel on the Paris bourse was imminent were discredited in ca- bied accounts from Paris.

SR ¥ Brown Men Will Have to Play Against a Ton' of nd Muscle. _ The entire weight of the Yale team as it seems picked to meet Brown this afternoon at New Haven will be 2,056 pounds, according to the official statis- tics, an average of 18610-11 pounds per man. The weight of the Yale line from tackle to tackle is 1020 pounds, an average of 204 pounds per man. The only one of this line to weigh under 200 pounds is Ted Lilley, the right tackle, who tips the scales at only 187 pounds. o Inn this average Murphy Is figured as the man to play in_the backfield witk Philbin and Coy. In case Daly, the Cambrigge boy, should be selected, the weight of the team would be brought up a little, as he weighs nine pounds more than Murphy. SHIFT IN ACADEMY ELEVEN. Line Against Some changes that Coach Bunnell expects to put iInto effect in the Acad- emy football team when it lines up this afternoon at Mystic will give the N. F. A. a weightier line to oppose the fast, clever and heavy Mystic team. Havens will have the call over Swan at left tackle, and Bliss will be in Ibister's place at right guard. These two, with the addition of Welles at right tackle, will make a line of considerable more avoirdupois than when Mystic played ;wre some time ago and was defeated, 2 to 5. Porter will be taken along as sub right tackle, and there will be two sets of halfbacks. Lawson at left half and Lawler at right half will probably start the game, with Noyes and Casey in reserve for the second half. The following will be the lineup: Captain Gallivan le, Haven or Swan It, Walsh Ig, Ricketts ¢, Bliss or Isbister rg, Welles rt, Gebrath re, Hendrick qb, Lanson or Noyes lh, Lawler or Casey rh, McCormick fb. The boys take the 12.15 trolley from here and are expect- ed back at 6.40 p. m. NORWICH SOCCERS. Lorraines from Westerly Will Be Hard Pushed by Home Team. Followers of the Norwich associa- tion football team are asserting that the Lérraines of ‘Westerly will have to travel a fast gait when the two teams meet this afternoon at Sachem park. ‘The Norwich forwards are looked to to pepper the Westerly gpal with a steady succession of shots, which will give the Westerly defender his hands full. F. Manville and W. Brown make a fast right wing for the home team, Aleck Finlayson is unbeatamle at his position at center, and A. Manville and W. White fill out the other end of the attacking line in good shape. Behind_them are Halfbacks J. Cor- ners, N. Reid and T. Parsons, who can be depended upon to feed the ball up in a satisfactory woy, while W, Fer- guson and V. Caron as backs will offer strong opposition to the Westerly for- wards in defending the home goal, where H. Finlayson stands to ward off the shots that may come through the line in front of him. Altogether the Norwich team is promising to give a zood . exposition of the English game. The Westerly line up lows: ‘Ward, favorite . old ill be ‘as fol- A, Tetlow, " goal; Johnson and fullbacks;’ Fyfe. Jones and C. J. Tetlow, W. Rob- MIKE MURPHY SAYS “NO.” Impossible for Jeffries to Come Back— Six Years Since He Really Trained. Can Jeffries come back? That is the question that is agitating the mind of v unbiased ring enthusiast. If Jef- s comes back and defeats Johnson he will make pugilistic history. ~Statis- tics are irrefutable, and they show a great task in store for the Californian, Mike Murphy, probably the best judge of athletes'in this country today, has put himself on record as saying that it is a physical impossibility for Jeffries to do so. The last hard fight of Jeffries' career was on July 25, 1902, when he knocked out Bob Fitzsimmons in eight rounds out in San Francisco. On Aug. 14 of the same vear Jeffries disposed of Jim Corbett in ten rounds at the Golden Gate. However, Jeffries did not come near to overtraining himself for that fight, and the Corbett he . battered around the ring was not the same man who forced him to go 23 rounds in a previous baitle at Coney Island. Cor- bett was but a shell of his former self, It is over six years since Jeffries beat Corbett at San Francisco. That match really marked the end of Jeffries’ hard work in the roped arena. On Dec. 19, 1903, Jack Munroe stood off Jeffries for four rounds at Butte. Jeftries was in far from perfect physical condition at the time. The last fight of his career was held on Aug. 26, 1904, at San Fran- cisco. Jeffries beat Munroe into in- sensibility -in two rounds. However, Jeffries did very little real strenuous training for this contest. As a matter of fact Munroe was beaten before he entered the ring. The Butte miner's physical condition was a joke. So really it narrows down to a period of over six years since Jeffries has train- ed to the limit for a fight. Princeton Freshies Win on Lake Car- Princeton, N, J.. Nov. 5.—The fresh- ment of Princeton won the university eight-oared race on Lake Carnegie to- day for the Carnegie trophy in ten minutes, 28 seconds. This is the best time éver made here over the one and seven-eights miles course. The sophomores finished a length- and a half behind and the seniors were a close third. The junior boat capsized about a quarter-mile from the finish, a broken seat cansing the mishap. The oarsmen were rescued by the officials’ launch. The four-oared race between the freshmen and sophomores was won by the latter in seven minutes, 15 seconds, for the 1 1-4 mil Duckpin Prize Winners. The final team score in the rolloft of the duckpin tournament was made at the Rose allevs on Friday night, when Murphy and Harris got 565. Th was not enough to put them In on fhe money, leaving the prize winning teams_as_ follows: First, $12, Murphy and Hill, 722; second. $8, 'McClafferty and Murph 703; third. $6, Sturtevant and Murphy, ggez; fourth, $4, Murphy and Scott, 74, Combies was high for the day with 140, which carried off the $1.00 prize. Mohicans Going to Fort Wright. Manager Larkie takes his Mohican eleven to Fort Wright on Sunday for A game with the soldiers. The Nor- wich men expect to run up against an eleven coached by a West Pointer, hut think they lave a few tricks up their sleeves that will pull out the vietory. Dave Campbell At Harvard. Dave Campbell has arrived and the followers of the Harvard team ave happy. It would be considered a ca- Jamity at Cambridge if any football team’ should have to g0 through an entire season without being laoke ver and criticised by the great Har- vard end. vkl Marks is a great halfback, but he will not be _entire Dartmouth team this year s football wixing. rumars of His provik Wi W Yale when he was ard rumors all started in the tly cor- rect statement that no team on which Haughton played was ever beaten by Yale, The First Time No Score. The facts about Haughton are tiat he played two years against Yale in 1897 and 1898 immediately following the resumption of relations after the famed break of 1894. In '97 Yale played its firstqgame on the new Har- vard field and Percy Haughton played fullback on a‘Harvard téam that was expected to beat Yale by a million or more. Even Walter Camp had given up hope and was reported as saying that the Yale defense was a thing of the past. But there was some good stuff on that Yale team which Jim Rogers captained, Charlie Chadwick and the freshman, Gordon Brown, who became somewhat famous a few years later, Charlie Desaulles, the fastest of quarterbacks, Haven and John Hall of New Haven on the ends and Corwin at the halves, and MacBride to plow the line and kick the ball as no Yale man has been altogether able to do since until Ted Coy arrived. And this ag- gregation went against the confident Harvard team and all but whipped it. That “thing-of-the-past” threw Har- yard back three times when within the Yale five yard line and then MeBride kicked the ball so.far up the field that Harvard never got near enough to be feared again. “To say that Haughton outkicked McBride is absurd,” remarl- ed thé New York Sun the next morn- ing. So much for the first time Yale didn't beat Haughton. Next Year It Was Different, Biit the next year it was sadly othe wise, and for this Burr Chamberlain, who captained that Yalé tear of 1595, has been subjected to much harsh cri icism which has cutlasted the memory of the really fine work he did for Yale as a tackle. It was a period of de- pression in New Haven when tl‘%‘un- wonted situation of having Harvard hailed ‘as the Bulldog’s superior at the game was wearing coaches and players to the raw. And Chamberlain tore loose and decided to run things him- self. As the game drew near and that speedy halfback, Ben Dibblee, and his mighty men were resting at Meriden, confidence began to return to New Haven and the odds almost if not quite reached even money. And when Sat- urday morning came with a seaking November rain Yale men said: “Dib- blee can't keep ,his feet in the mud; we'll smear them yet.” But Dibblee did keep his feet and so did Charlie Daly and so did Bill Reid and the Har- vard team ran circles around the bat- tling Elis and the wet and shivering crowd saw 17 monstrons points piled up. It was in this game that Daly won his reputation when he tackled Morris Ely of New Haven, who was galloping along for a touchdown with a broken rib or two tickling his chest. And in this game, too, that Ray Townshend, who was at fullback because of Mal- colm McBride's injury in practice, re. ceived the injury to his leg from which he still limps. In that game Perc Haughton played at right tackle pnd never again did he play against Yale. TIGERS NOT DEAD ONES. One Expert Says Princeton Eleven is 50 Per Cont. Ahead of Last Year. The hitherto unpublished commen- taries of Ove Who Knows the Game on the Princeton-Lafayette contest show that at least one disinterested onlooker does not consider the Tiger a dead one by any means. Quite the contrary. “In comparison with the Syracuse- Carlisle game,” writes this expert to the New York Sun, “the Princeton- Lafayette battle was beautifully play- ed. ‘Both elevens were well drilled in fundamentals, there was little fambling either in the line or down the field, and the tackling, a delight to the eye. made the blood run warm. Both teams were as Gibraltar on the defense. The stubbornness and courage of Lafay- ette were worth going miles to see. On the defense she could show noth- ing: that is, nothing against a defense of the strength of Princeton, which bodes well for the future. From tackle to tackle the line showed very strong. The ends had little to do in the line: down the field they were consistently on the job. | . “On the offense Princeton disclosed nothing new. Her attack up to date is based on last year's lines. the short forward pass, the onside kick as work- ed by Harlan, etc., and the old forma- tion for line plays with tackle brought over as a rule. There was one play In which the halfbacks made a feint as for an end run, and the fullback took the ball through center. There were severa! plays down the short side of the line when the ball was near the side lines. Lafayette uged the ola Pennsylvania system of defense against end runs, the end immolating himself by throwing himself into the interfer- ence. Pennsylvania seems to be the only college to use this systems suc- cessfully. “The game emphasized the lesson that an eleven with a good kicker and a strong defense has a pretty fair chance to get a tie against a stronger team, and with a little luck even to win. _ If 1 were a Princeton man I should be morc delighted than cha- grinned, for this eleven. is certainly coming along well. It looks 50 per cent. better than last vear's team did at this time of the year.

At the open practice this| week the undergraduates have shown great enthusiasm. Connle Mack is said to be displeased with the work of Amos Strunk, the young speed merchant with the Brew- ers last season. Strunk has not im- proved enough in the past year, sa Counie, to make him a player who w deliver goods in the big ring. The_Chicago Inter-Ocean vesterday said: With the hope of being good and strong when he meets Jack Johnson, Jeffries has decided to engage Frank Gotch, the champion heavywelght wrestler of the world, to work with for a few months when he begins train- ing for the fight. Jeffries intends to work twice a day with Cotch, %0 as 10 be in condition. Gotch 1l proba by accept Jeffries' offer to assist him in his training stunt. Chancellor MacCracken of New York unlversity, commenting on the N York-Wesleyan game, says: The en- tire game was clean, dignified and de- cent,'and no man in the game could be called a ‘ringer’ or was there one who did not come up to the scholarship re- quirements we require” It sounds stvange to hear the chancellor talk about ringers. It is always assumed that teams play without these unde- sirables. | their sh | dex AR i3 e T s A Special Purchase Enables Us fo.
