They wero left In the capital city of New York, and mny cct hero this morning. On the other hand, they may not net hero at all, for huUh are funny thnt way, and you never can tell what they aro gohiR to do next. If they Ret here this mornlnu. as the railroad has promised, tho team will don them twice In practice. If .not the boys from tho Middle West will " have to borrow suits from tho Harvard , squad, and t suspect thnt the Harvard squad hasn't many to spare, fur It must take a whole storcful of suits to clothe such a crowd of athletes as P. Haush ton Is said to possess. The loss of the Btilts was a terrible blow to Yost, because they were about the only things connected with the Mich igan team, with which thoro was noth ing the matter. The suits were In a bnggngo coach when the trnln left Ann Arbor, but It fm6 Hint when this nnrtlculm trnln reached Albany It was like the Michigan team, all busted up. Tho coach con- talnlng the paraphernalia was mislaid. and during the general confusion the Boston part of the train camo away without it. Jack Leonard, the manager, didn't learn tho crushing truth until after the squad had lunched at the Wodlnnd Park Inn. Yost had ordered everybody out In football togs nt 2:45, but when tho boys came to look for the specified togs there weren't any. Mr. Leonard spent a largo College Gridiron Gleanings By EDWARD R. BUSHNELX With the possible exception of Har vard and Yale the members of the Six" expect to enjoy a breathing tomorrow. All of them have harassed so persistently of late "Big spell been that there will be some cnecs of nervous pros tration If the minor colleges don't let up soon. Here aio the teams the big col leges must tackle tomorrow: Harvard vs. Michigan at Cambridge. Yale vs. Colgate at New Haven. Pennsylvania vs. Swarthmore at Kranklln Field. Cornell vs. Holy Cross at Ithaca. Dartmouth vs. Amherst at Hanover, N. H. Princeton s. Williams at Princeton. The Harvard-Michigan game Is treated fcy Itlng W. Lurdner in his own Inim itable style, and the only comment tho writer wishes to make from the stand point of the East is that wo shall bo very much ustonlshcd If Michigan proves a trouble-maker. But we havo seen Michi gan team which would have dono damage to the best eleven Harvard over had. This year Harvard has one of her best teams, but tho youths who will fight for JIchlgun fall Abort of some Michigan elevens of tho past. It Is rare. Indeed, that Yale Is hit twice In the same place by any team, much less by a minor college. West Point has done it to the L'lls, but none of the other little fellows. That Is why, It history lepeats tomorrow, Colgate will upset tra dition by winning from Yale. It was Colgate's turn to win last year, nnd that 16- score by which the New Yorkers wul loped Yale has been a sort of nightmare ever since. Yalo men threaten to outdo themselvei tomorrow. Not only do they wish to avenge that 1913 beating, but lhy will also bo goaded on by the greener memory or that football which Wash ington and Jefferson took from the Blue latt week by the score of 13-7. Tomorrow doesn't lank llko nn auspicious day for Colgat to visit New Haven. Hut t'olgnte has n good team this year. In fact, the eleven la made up to n large extent of tne men who did &o much exe cution last year. Colgate has lost only one game this ear That was to U'rtt Point But the tram hail tho satisfac tion of beating Cornell earlier In the ear Since Dartmouth beat Williams rather sil) a few weeks ago. Princeton ought J nave in. difficulty In taking the New Englanders m u,er atrido tomorruw. The Tisei management put thla same on the rehedule just to bo nil appetizer and to 'ep the team on edge for tho Harvard Eamr ilio following Saturday. All tho Tigi-i rjjt-hes who can gel away will be n Ciinbrhlge to see Harvard perforin asalnst Michigan. The big btadlum will i" lult-iln a fair share of Yale coaches. The result vn Pmiiklln Field ought to M a uctor for Pennsylvania. But the Vuaker eleven has been performing so iue!rl this year that even the little vluakers m.iy cause uu upset.

H had been planned to send the bunch to Wnltham to practice on the high school field. This scheme was carried put In part, for Yost bundled his boys Into machines and took them to Waltham. llut. of course, practicing In street finrb Is far different from rehearsing' In cos tume, and the drill was not what tho coach had anticipated, Moreover, half of the team, namoly, Maulbctsch and Splnwn, were taking a stroll at the time tho machines left the hotel, and were, therefore, lalo In reaching tho field, It being a short walk of three and onclinlf miles, Tho squad relumed to headquarters late In the afternoon and had dinner. Then there was a long signal quiz In tho coach's room. The program for tomorrow, If the suits get here, la morning prac tice at Waltham, afternoon practlco In tho Htndtum and a final signal drill In the hotel at night. The trip from Ann Arbor hero was lacking In thrills. The train had ono diner to over a down well-filled Pull niuns, and some of us waited until nearly midnight for our evening cats. Wo were very hungry, which will be evident on tho expenso account. Yost had the men studying signals when they weren't eat ing or sleeping. The engineer refused to stop the train at Auburndatc. so the squad rode down to Trinity Plnco, and then out to Its quarters on a suburban train. There's a possibility, according to Yost, that Norton will start Saturday's game at right guard, in plnco of McIInlc. Nor ton has never played In n college game, otherwise he's all right.

IS STAR "Chuck" Barrett, of Cornell, leads all others on the Eastern gridiron this season In scoring points for hla team, according to an Interesting compila tion made In the Syracuse Post Star..ard. He has made seven touch downs, two goals from tho field and ha kicked 14 goals from touchdowns for a total of 62 points. Parka, of Tufts, Is second, with 57 points, and Westcott, of the same col leg, fourth, with 51. These two are tpllt by "Red" Wilkinson, the dash Ing Syracuse halfback, who standi third, with 56 points, as the result of elaht touchdowns and eight goal from Sam. The west course at the .Merlon Cricket Club, while a few hundred yards (shorter than the old cast course, Is a much mors I difficult lest of golf. The old course has always been considered one of the inoi't ilinicult In the Philadelphia district, nnd tho illffcreiice hetween It and the new course one has to place hh tee shots dllference In length. In pln.vlni? the now course one has to place their tee Bhols with rare nccpracy In order to open up the fircens for the aecotul shots. The sixth hole 123 jnrds Is perhaps the prettiest and at the same time one of tho mott difficult short holes In the coun try. The (jreen Ih ho yards below th" tec. nnd does not look to be Ihe full inashlo shot that It Is. It Is of tho pocUet-hnnd-kerchlef varlct, nnd In front of It Is the creclt, with steep bnnlcs. There Ih never any danger of accurate innihle shots not lioIdlnK. foi on account of Its helm- In ti hollow the Ground Is nnturnlly soft. Out of bounds is to the right, and nil In all It is n hole that one can make In cither two or twelve. The seventh hole .s somewhat Mmilai to tho eighth at the Crlchet Club, but re versed. Uut of bounds Ih to the tlKht, and the creek li to the left, crossltiK dlrertly In front of the green. In order to got out of the valley the player linn a long; carry from the eighth tec. hut a slightly pulled ball will roll right down into the valley again, and n sliced ball will be itymied by trees. Tho same creek flows In front of the tenth green nnd here the player has a choice of two methods. The hole Is pnr 4 310 .vards. and the less vi-nturcsome player will be contented to place the sec ond short of the green and try to run the approach dead for a possible four and a suro five. Occasionally the bold player will lash out bravely for the green on the second shot, but unless the drive is of more than average length the first pro cedure is the better. When everything Is considered, the west courso nt Merlon calls for every possible shot lu the bag nnd the player Is called upon to get away from every tee In good shape In order to make a good scoie pos sible. IV.vgress in the men's championship at Merlon Is being made slowly, but already It. H. FranclF, last year's tltlcholder, has been eliminated from the competition, i Sidney Shatwood, who Is' now a prime fa- ' vorlte. defeated Francis In the second , round Saturday, 3 up and 2 to play. S. V. W. Patterson has also advanced to the semi-final by virtue of a victory over AV. L. Hirst. 3 up and 1 to play.

The aborlg inei In the past found the early teams on thi schedule the easiest sort of opponents.

In the seven games plujed to date the Indians have scored hut 4'J points, while nppuiicnis have tallied .19, an average of one touihdown n playing hour. The opponents have tallied ,"i! points.

One of the golf commandments Is, "Thou shall not hill thy caddy." Itecnllinc the slza tome of the "boya" who have cuddled fe us, we think that section ought to read, "Thou shall not tuss thy caddy." llut for Connie Mack, Harvard would hava nnother ltrlckley rendy to fill In nt the fullback I po-dilnn. next seusnn. tleorge Ilrltkiey, a jounger brother of the great Clmrles, wna re- i puteil to be the most prnmlsini football player turned out of ti Massathu-ietts school In eurs.
