BROWNING, *Phone 700 Attorney-at-Law, 3 Richard’s Bldg. —————— CRIMSON MUST DEFEAT BROWN TO RETAIN STANDING Sport Writer Says Harvard Has Little to Gloat Over Unless They Win. W. J. Slocum, football expert gives Brown due credit for the 21-6 victory over Yale Saturday, and incidentally stated that Fritz Poliard's wor tamp=- ed him as one of the greatest players of the year. He writes as follows: Yale's hope of a season thout de- feat has gone glimmering, and unless Harvard can run up a decisive score against Brown this week—something which now appears unlikely—there will | be little to gloat over this for any of the once supreme Big Three of Fastern football. Yale and Princeton lately have tasted failure, as Harvard did early in the season. The Crimson’s one hope of a strong finish to offset early failure rests in the game with Brown. The battle with the Elis a week later cau hardly aiford much giory for Harvard, en in a deci- siv_victory over Yale. The Jones pupils are going through what So many Yale teams have gone through in recent years.

The Elis made o great | stand under their own goal posts and took the t n_downs Erown needed inches touch- down. This h, the only one in fa mare in the second half of the game. Some Yale enthusiasts are .inclined to make capital out of the t that in- juries kept Bingham, Baldridge and Sheldon out of the me. There is no denyni ter t that the Elis could put a bet- 1m on the fleld with these three vailable, but 1t is unfair to 1 to consie~ only one side of the y. The Pi ~ eleven suffered in the same i loss of Ward, Conroy and Br ta’>n no little strength from Brc d 1 Weeks, who had been on the hospital list since the Rutgers game, is far from being at his best. It is safe to assume that Brown, with all its strength available, is a better team than Yale under similar condi- tions. Certainly the pupils of Ed Rob- inson were several degrees better on aturday. Their tackling was poor at tims and the passing was not of the best, but even these faults were not <nough to offset the poor playing of Yale. Brown was better conditioned and played a more versatile prand of foothall. The color line may be waived with propriety by those who soon will busy themselves with task of ‘hoosing an all-Eastern football team. Any back- fleld in the country could use to ad- vantage Fred Pollard, the dusky half- back of the Brown eleven. TTis indi- vidual work made Saturday's game highly spectacular, and thé greatest crowd in the history of ~the Yale- Brown series left the Bowl with the conviction that they had seen one of the greatest players of the year. Pollard’s superior as a jroken fleld runner has not flashed on the gridiron in recent years, unless it was Jim Thorpe, whose suceess was helped along by size and strength, which Pol- lard does not possess. Thorpe could throw off tacklers who apparently had secure holds. Pollard, making up in agllity what he lacked in phsyque, simply dodged his way through. Pollard’s running with the ball, sure- ly as spectacular as a New Haven crowd has looked upon in years, was only one feature of his brilliancy. ‘Three times he recovered fumbles by his own team as Yale players threw themselves at the ball and . once he prevented a touchdown by recovering the ball after a kick by Hillhouse had been blocked behind the Brown: goal line. He ran out 12 yards before he was downed, depriving the Elis of as much as a safety. On the secondary defence Pollard was as strong as he was In advancing the ball. Once he stood alone between a Yale runner and the Brown goal line, but he got the verdict in the battle of dodging. BELL-ANS "Absolutely Removes Indigestion.

YALE HAS WON 22 GAMES FROM PRINCETON Blue Eleven Leads Tigers in Football Contests Since 1873. An inventory of the football series between Yale and Princeton, wkich stretches back to 1873, gives the Bull- dogs a decided edge on the Tigers Since these two famous institutions started playing annual games on the gridiron, 41 games have been decided. The wearers of the Blue have tri- umphed 22 times, the Jungaleers have won ten games and nine of the battles wound up with teams on even terms. Close followers cf the game, who as a rule make it a point to dope out winners on past perfor- mances, favor Yale for the honors this Saturday when the two teams op- pose each other in the Palmer stadium. First Game. The first meeting between the Tig- ers and the Bulldogs took place on No- ivember 15th, back in .873. This |game was played in New Haven, and Stan- sub- { Princeton romped home a winner by the score of three golas to nothing. The teams than went along at a merry clip, playing almost on even terms. In 1877, 1879, 1880 and 1881, scoreless ties were played. Owing to difference in the playing rules ,small scores were the order in most of the games played in in the '80s. Yale Started Something. Starting with the year of 1387, Yale began to show her superiority over the Jungaleers. In this ear, the Elis registered a 12 to 0 victory. In the next ten consecutive gamcs, Yale won seven victories while their op- ponents were landing three. - All of | these victories with one exception were shutouts. Nine of these games were played in New York. The other one was decided in Brooklyn. Consecutive Victories. Princeton has scored two success- ive victories over Yale only once. The New Jersey eleven took Yale's meas- ure in 1898 in Princeton and then the following season walked off with the honors in New Haven. Yale's best run of consecutive victories is four. The Bulldogs starting in 1907 won four games in order. Biggest Score. The biggest score ever lled up by either team was made in 1890, when Yale smothered Princeton under a total of 3Q points. The Tigers did not register in this battle.. The next largest score was a 29 to b victory which was also tallied by the New Haven eleven. The greatest nurmber of points made by a Princeton team was in 1896, when the Tigers ran up a total of 24 markers, while Yale was making four points. Only four of the games played by the two famous elev- ens have been decided by a single point. Princeton won in New Haven in over the Bulldogs in New Haven back 1885, 6 to b5, and scored a 11 to 10 win in 1889. The Tigers also won 2 1 to 0 game from their rivals in 1878. The only victory won by Yale by a single tally was in 1882. The score of this game was 2 to 1. Record Favors Elis. One glance at the record sheet of shows that Yale is bound to be a fa- past performances of the two elevens vorite -over its ancient enemy. Many of the veterans of both elevens, for this reason, consider that Yale is a good risk, and do not hesitate in th: giving the New Havenites tre pref- erence, notwithstanding, that recent dope shows that figures ,are useless when éne attempts to get a line on contenders in a football game. VARSITY SCORED TWO TOUCHDOWNS ON SCRUBS. Carey Played Halfback Instead of Le- Gore, Who is Said to Be Over- trained. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 15.—A half hour's scrimmage, during which the varsity szored two touchdowns against the scrubs, featured the practice of the Yale eleven today. The remainder of the drill was devoted to mndividual in- structions to the linemen, a - dozen former stars assisting Tad Jones in this work. LeGore, tae speedy halfb'\ck who is said to be slightly overtrained, was given a rest. Carey took his place and scored one of the touchdowns, be- sides contributing a 25 yard run. Neville made the other touchdown on a 20 yard dash arournd end. Jacques played fullback, and it is considered likely that he will start against Prince- ton Saturday instead of Braden. The iwork of the eleven was said to be sat- isfactory to the coaches. The first mass meeiing of the year 'was held tonight, 2,060 students gath- ering to practice cheers and songs. | Speeches were made by Head Coach Jones, Captain Black and others. HARVARD WILL USE SUBS AGAINST BROWN, Athletic Association Says Team Will by No Means Be a Weak One. Cambridge, Mass. Nov. 15.—The Harvard Athletic ociation tonight announced that few if any of the play- ers who started the game against Princeton last Saturday would be in the Crircson’s initial lineup against Brown at the stadium next Saturday. The Harvard coaching staff. it was ex- plained, had made this decision in or- der “to avoid possible injuries to first string men and to give the substitutes who may be used against Yale experi- ence in a hard game.” The association oadded that the team that would start would be “by no means a weak one.” In this connection one of the Harvard coaches pointed to the game against Virginia recently, when Harvard pre- sented virtuaily three complete teams, which, in results, varied little through- out the game. The announcement of the association included a notice that tickets pur- chased with the expectation of seeing leading players start the game would be redeerned. vm Hu-m(ul Seriibs. Hlfim -nd 2 Left. Princeton, N. J, ~Nov. Princeton varsity football eleven was put through a hard scrimmage this afternoon,. the first since the Harvard game. - With” Eddie Hart driving them, the varsity players rushed the scrub eleven off its feet. Moore was back at halfback on the first team and tore through the second team’s line time and again for substantial gains. Moore probably will be called on to do most of the offensive work against Yale on Saturday. The Princeton coaches have changed their original plans and will give the team a little more scrimmage work tomorrow. Eberstadt was in the var- sity backfield today for the first time in_several weeks and.it is expected he will be used in thé Yale game. Dave Tibbott, the drop kicker, was on the field practicing kicking, but was not used in scrimmage work. The varsity lined up as follows: Highley, left end; Halsey, left tackle; Nourse, jeft' guard: Gennert, centre: Hogg, right guard: McGraw, right tackle; Wilson, right end; Eddy, quarterback; Ames, left halfbacl Moore, right halfback; Driggs, full- back. YALE STUDENTS PAY TRIBUTE TO TOM SHEVLIN At Big Mass Meeting Held Wednes- day Night. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 15.—An im- pressive tribute ‘to the memory of Thomas Shevlin, former Yale football captain and coach, who died last win- ter, was given by 2,500 Yale students at a mass meeting tonight. At the mention of Shevlin's name by one of the speakers, the students rose in a body and gave the university cheer with nine “Shevlins” at the end. A year ago. Shevliin came to New Haven from the west and developed what seemed to be a hopelessly beat- en team into one that won over Princeton. Head Coach “Tad”-Jones, principal speaker at the meeting, said the two greatest Yale ecaptains, in his opin- ion, were Shevlin and Black, present feader of the eleven. Jones spoke op- timistically of Yale's chances in the Princeton game on Saturday. HARVARD’S VARSITY A TEAM DEFEATED Squad Which Won From Princeton Victim of Team B Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 15.—In to- day’s practice in the Stadium the var- sity A team which met Princeton last Saturday was defeated, 12 to 6, in a half hour struggle with the second team. Later when the second team lined up against the varsity B team, made up of the substitutes who are re- garded as likely to start in the game against Brown next Saturday, neither s able to score. he second team relied principally on forward passes and formations sim- ilar to those used by Brown. Asainst the varsity A team, Johnson, a half- back, scored two touchdowns on for- ward -passes. Johnson’s face was blackened with the idea apparently of having him represent in the prac- tice the negro player Pollard of Brown. The A team’s score was made on a long run by Casey, who intercepted a forward pass. The secend Harvard team is sched- uled to play the Brown second team Saturday. DARTMOUTH BASEBALL SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED Yale Will Play With Green Team for First Time. Hanover, N. H., ( —The base- ball schedule for Dartmouth’s 1917 season given out by the graduate man- ager, P. G.

GREAT BRITAIN DEALING WITH FOOD PROBLEM Takes Measures for Insuring National Food Supply London, Nov. 15, 10:22 p. m.—Walter Runciman, president of the board of trade, in parliament today outlined the government’s proposal for dealing with the food probls Mr. Runciman’s speech had signidcance, aside from its actual context, as showing that the government is looking forward to protracted hostiities and foresees the necessity of timely measures for in- suring the national food supply by aa effective organization of national re- sources in a manner similar to that adopted in enemy countries. Mr. Runciman in his speech an- nounced the imminent appointment of a food controller with full power over all department concerned in food sup- plies and immediate measures to re- strict the luxurious use of sugar, to prevent waste and the making of large profits in potatoes and miik and to forbid the milling of purs white flour. He said also that the govern- ment would ask new powers under the defense of the realm act to deal with all attempts to exploit puolic ne- cessiites. These measures, Mr. Runciman ex- plained, would be temporary, but if they were found insufficient it might become necessary to have recourse to food tickets. ‘The speech of the president of the board of trade was welcomed in all parts of the house. Sir Edward Car- son, on behalf of the opposition and George J. Wardlee, for the Laborites, agreed that the house was ready to grant the power asked without the formality of a bill.

The movement is made possible, bankers say, by trade conditions as a result of which South American countries, particularly Ar- gentina, have a balance against this country. This is seen in the rate of exchange and results from our heavy purchases of raw materlals. including hides. Prior to the war most shipments of gold from the United States to pouints south of the isthmus were for British account, London drawing on New York balances. With Europe's gold holdings locked up except for require-' ments in this market, South America is without any sources of supply saye such as she may receive from the United States. DESTRUCTION OF BRITISH SHIPPING BY SUBMARVNES Subject of Discussion in the IHouse of Lords Yesterday. London, Nov. 15, 9 p. v1—The matter of the destruction of British shipping by German submarinves came up in the house of lords this after- noon. Baron Sydenham invited the government to make a declaration in the nature of a “ton for ton” policy in behalf of Great Britain and her allies as a reply to “the monstrous proceed- ings” of the German submariaes. He declared that there was an uneasy feeling in the country that the sub- marine menace was more scrious than the authorities were willing to admit. Admiral Lord Beresford said that Great Eritain had arrived at a seri- ous crisis, calling for energy and fore- sight. It was time for plain speaking, because the house of commons and the newspapers had been muzzled by the most autocratic. government since the time of Pharaoh. The Marquis of Crewe, lord pres- ident of the council, replying for the government, said it was useless to make such declarations as Lords Sydenham and Beresford demanded, without the power to enforce them. The only voices which could spealk Wwith influence now were the voices of the cannon on the various fronts. “It is useless,” said the Marquis of Crewe, “to threaten to exact particu- lar reparations in the terms of peace unless we are able to impose thos terms by obtaining complete victory. The admiralty, continued the lord president, had been singularly suc- cessful in the destruction of enemy submarines, but the difficulties in dealing with this menace had in- creased. The Earl of Lytton, clvil lord of the admiralty, having denied that the fleet had departed from its tradition- al policy of seeking out and destroy- xne% the enemy, the subject was drop- ped. lWHEN MEXICAN MINES WILL BE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE Because of Non-operation Date Has Been Extended te Feb. 14.

Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Mex- ican commission, which is conferring at Atlantic City with an American commission in_an endeavor to settle outstanding differences between Mex- ico and the United States, notified the American commissioners last Monday that General Carranza had extended the time limit for the resumption of work in the Mexican mines for sixty days from November 14. He added that Mexico did not desire to confis- cate property in trying to coerca own- ers to work it under impossible con- ditions. A despatch from Mexico City Nov- ember 10 said hundreds of mine own- ers had protested against the expro- priation decree on the ground that it was a physical impossibility under the prevailing conditions to work mines in certain districts.
