Big Teams Resting for the Final Battles of the Sea
sonColgate Is Favorite Over Yale Penn
State in Good Shape for Harvard
BV T few big games are scheduled for tho larger Knstern football teams
on tomorrow. Last Saturday was the turning; point of the season, nnd
most of the teams were on edge for thoe contests. This week tho larger
colleges will meet weaker opponents for the last time this year.
After tomorrow big games are scheduled every week for the remainder
of tho season. It Is possiblo that a few of the larger colleges may run into
a scries of great surprises with the so-called easy teams, but tho chances
are against It, except In the case of Yule.
Yalo Is scheduled to meet Colgate, which has made a wonderful recoid
to date, and for the first time In history the Klls will enter n game with a
smaller Institution the fnorlte. After the defeat nt tho hands of Washington
nnd Jefferson last week, Yale apparently lost confidence, and reports from
New Haven during tho last week Indicate that tho team bus gone com
pletely to pieces.
Victory Would Tut Confidence Into Yale
A victory over Colgate would probably bring the team back In flno
shape, and the men would start to prepare for the Princeton game with
more confidence; while a defeat uould demoralize them and the Ells might
possibly lose all the remaining games on the schedule except the Brown
contest next week.
The Penn-Lafayetto game might result In a surprise for the lied nnd
Blue, as Lafayette's splendid work against Albright Indicates that Crowcll's
team has at last found Itself. Tho material at Lafayette was unusually good
this fall, and It generally was believed that Crowell would turn out one of
the best teams In years, but accidents and the failure to find the proper com
bination caused the Kastonlans to lose several of tho early games.
State May Give Harvard Trouble
Harvard is scheduled to play Penn State and, while the game is sure
to be bitterly contested, the Crimson Is likely to have little trouble winning.
A victory over Penn caused many critics to pick this team as a probable
winner over tho Crimson; but the State team defeated Penn when the Keel
and Blue was In a slump. If tho two teams were to meet tomorrow it is
likely that Penn would win, as the Red and Blue has Improved greatly In
the last two weeks.
Princeton Is scheduled to meet Williams, nnd this game should be a
walk-over for the Tigers If tho regular team Is used. It Is said that Coach
Rush intends to use all second-string men against Williams, and that he will
take several of his regulars to Boston to look the Harvard team over. Uxen
with its second eleven, Princeton is not likely to have much trouble, as the
Williams team Is far below Ub usual standard.
Other Teams Have Easy Contests
None of the other large Eastern elevens Is scheduled to meet a formidable
opponent, except Syracuse, which journeys to Ann Arbor to meet Yost's
Msappolntlng team. The 14 to 0 defeat suffered by Michigan at the hands
of Michigan Aggies indicates that the Wolverines are not as strong as usual
this season and Syracuse Is likely to win.
Cornell, Dartmouth, Army and Navy have easy game3 schedv'ed, and It
will require a most unusual reversal of form for any of them to lose. Tho
biggest game of the day Is scheduled In the West, when Chlcego p-id AVls
consln meet at Chicago in the gamo which is likely to decide tne winner
of the Western Conference title.
Yale Runners Have Edge On Tigers
Yale's athletes seem to have a slight advantage over Princeton Ui . slty's
cross-country squad In their annual race Saturday, at Princeton. Ys"- won
the contest last year. Princeton's band is an unknown quantity, as most of
the men are new to the coaches. BUI Floto, a former Washington and efteison
runner, is doing the best work in training. Ten men are now on the training
table, and tho hopes of the Tigers will be centred in Captain Dowell, i-lovcr,
Colwell, Floto, Blshoff, Shotwell, Paul, Boyd, Zunlno and Decker. Coribiderao'e
local interest Is centred In the development of the Princeton cross-country
' squad this year, as the Tigers are to meet Penn here November 6. It will be
the first time Princeton's team ever raced the Red and Blue In a dual hlll-and-dale
event.
Victory for Navy Predicted Over Army Eleven
Navy's football team Is picked to win over the Army eleven in their
annual tilt this season on the Polo Grounds, New York, November 27. Despite
thu Blue's failure to perform up to expectations on the gridiron thus far
there is a most pronounced spirit of optimism among those closely identified
with the football developments at Annapolis.
The recent performances of the "Goat" eleven probably are due only to slow
development rather than lack of material, and it is hinted that the development
is Just along the lines that tho coaches have mapped out. The material is
there, good and strong, and it will be fit for the big game, say these optimists.
Pennsylvania White Flyer Title Difficult to Hold
The old adage, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," came in
for its lnalng twice last week in the Pennsylvania trap-shooting world, when
the live-bird challenge gunning championship was held by three persons. Not
only was this remarkable, but it also set a precedent for the event.
More importance is lent to the Keystone State blue ribbon event when it
is known that since January six times the trophy emblematic of the cham
pionship has been taken by four different white flyer devotees. On October
21 at Manoa Earl Melrath, of this city, holder of the Pennsylvania coveted
honors, met George W. Hepler, of Harrisburg, in a challenge test at 25 pigeons.
The Capiiol City marksman emerged a winner. Joe Graves, of the Delaware
Water Gap, immediately Issued a den to the new champion for a match.
Hepler accepted the challenge and the men met the following day at Harris
burs. Graves won, gathering his full quota of 25 feathered targets while his
opponent bagged only 23.
This was the second time within a year that Hepler held the State title
only to have it taken away again. "Izzy" Hoffman took the Capitol repre
sentative's measure last March.
Hunt Season in Philadelphia at Its Height
Just now the hunt season in this section is at its height. The two meets
already held have been successful from every viewpoint.
The Wldener affair at Lynnewood Farm was the first event of the season,
and it was a big success. Whitemarsh Valley Hunt Club held Its annual
affair last week, and this week Rose Tree Hunt Club promotes a promising
meeting. Pickering comes next. All In all, the fall racing here will 4 the
best ever held.
Hurdler Kelly's Injury Is Sad News for Followers
Fred Kelly, world's hurdling champion, who has appeared on Franklin Field
tn contest, will be out of the game for many weeks. He recently broke his
ankle while in training for football at the University of Southern California.
It is gratifying to know that tho doctor attending the case does not believe
the efficiency of the great athlete will be impaired permanently.
Look to Your Tennis Laurels, You Easterners!
The announcement that Robert L. Murray has Joined the forces of the
West Side Club, of New York, is certainly gratifying to the Eastern contingent,
for It means that a new resident star will battle for the championship honors
of this section. Murray is a remarkable player. He halls from the Pacific
Coast.
In New York Mike McNulty is telling' newspapermen he would like to
match Johnny Ertle with the leading bantam In Gotham. When Mike and
"Kcwple" were in Philadelphia, the St. Paul manager would not listen to
promoters here selecting a star opponent. He preferred to pick Ertle'a foes
juid mentioned two tough youngsters. Neither, though, comes anywhere near
championship calibre.
Red and blue boxers donned the mitts Jn an exhibition yesterday afternoon
In Welghtman Hall and, Judging from the number of experienced men in
tjalr.ing, Coach Decker should have a well-balanced team.

HANDICAP FOR
CORNELL TEAM
Penn May Surprise Itha

QUAKERS SHAPED WELL
HARVARD FAVORITE OVER TIGERS,
DESPITE PRINCETON'S IMPROVEMENT
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL
A lot of people are already giving Cor
nell the football championship of tho
Big six on the assumption that Harvard,
whom Cornell has already beaten, will
win from Princeton and that the Itha
cans will go straight down the line un
defeated and score their third straight
victory over Pennsylvania. Without
doubt, Cornell would be entitled to that
distinction If the dope worked out thus
considerately.
The most serious obstacle to Cornell's
ambition Is Cornell's schedule for the
remainder of the season. There Is prob
ably no university In the East that has
suffered moro from Ill-balanced football
schedules than Cornell. The difficulty
used to be that during October Cornell
played opponents little stronger than
high school teams and then was battered
all to pieces when the big teams were
encountered. From this extreme Cornell
then went to the other pole, and for two
or threo years met teams In October
which should have been played In No
vember. Cornell still has four games to play,
and It Is a question whether or not they
are of the sort to bring the "Big Jted
Team" along gradually for the Penn
sylvania game on Thanksgiving Day.
The Ithacans may consider themselves
fortunate If the schedule workB out to
their satisfaction. Tomorrow they play
the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. The
Virginians may play good football and
they may not. If they are ery easy
they will not give Cornell tho preparation
needed for the Michigan game, which Is
played one week later. Michigan also
may or may not be very weak this year.
It Is not unusual for the Michigan Ag
gies to win as they did last week, but
granting that the Wolverines were still
a disappointment we shall know more
about Michigan's strength after the game
with Syracuse tomorrow.
But If Michigan proves to be below her
usual standard and, therefore, easy for
Cornell, the Ithacans will find themselves
In more or less difficulty to prepare prop
erly for Pennsylvania. After tho Michi
gan game Cornell meets Washington nnd
I.ee, a new opponent. In other words, be
tween the Harvard game, played last
week, and the Pennsylvania game on
Thanksgiving Day the Cornell team will
have had" only one opponent which looks
to be strong. It may be that one of the
others will give tho Ithacans a fight, but
It will be a surprise if this results.
Pennsjlvanla, cu the other hand. Is
just emerging from an October schedulo
such as no other team In the Kast at
tempts to play. It Is really stronger than
the Quakers should try In view of their
Inexperience. But it nt least has re
sulted In hardening the players, nnd If
the men get through without Injuries
they will be In first-class shape for their
November games. While Cornell Is tun
ing up on such teams as Virginia P. I.
and Washington and Lee, Pennsylvania
will be battling with Lafayette and Dart
mouth, both tough customers. Michigan,
the two teams play in common.
Cornell needs a victory over Pennsyl
vania this year as never before. It would
be a severe blow for the Ithacans to win
all their other games and then lose to
Pennsylvania, already twice defeated A
victory for Pennsylvania Is even moro
appealing to the Quakers.
Virtually nothing new has been shown
in football attack this year, though two
or three teams have worked out some
variations of the forward pass. There
have been reports that Pennsylvania had
something new In football offense to show
In her championship games. But the
team has shown none of It to date. Some
new formations have been tried out in
secret practice, but If they amount to
an thing they will not be developed until
the Dartmouth game. Coaches have not
been able to Impiove very much on the
old style attack, and every ear a lot of
plays In which a team is carefully
coached are never used.
Crimson Will Meet Splendidly Coached Eleven, Still
Coach Haughton Apparently Has Slight Advan
tage in Material Other Sporting Comment
By GRANTLAND RICE
Tho Old Oaken Buclscr
How dear to my heart arc the scenes that
haie vanished
In all this new football that now crowds
the map;
How dear to my soul is the stuff they
have banished
When fond recollections return icith a
snap.
The old-fashioned days that developed
the best of 'em,
Days fraught with danger for skull,
neck and spine,
Of Hcstons and Morlcys and all of the
test of 'em,
Old oaken buckers who crashed thtough
a line
The old oaken buckers,
The iron-bound buckers.
The bone-covered buckers
Who crashed through a line.
I've nothing to say of the agile young
sprinter
Who darts by an end or who catches a
pass;
I'll probably boost him a whole lot this
winter
And tell how he wiggled his way
through the mass;
I have nothing to say of the guy who can
shoot 'cm,
The forward pass heroes, whose stuff
may be fine;
But give me again, above even long
booters,
The old oaken buckers who tore up .a
line
The old oaken buckers,
The Iron-bound buckers,
The bullock-necked buckers
Who tore p a line.
((yOU shouldn't be too sure," writes
JL a noncombatant, "that Princeton Is
going to beat Harvard."
Wo have never Indulged In any thought
of sureness along this line. On the other
fin, despite Princeton's big improvement
over other years In the football things
that count, we still figure that Harvard
should rule slight favorite. Not from
what has happened, but from what Is
likely to happen In tho courso of Har
vard's November games. Harvard, by
the dates of tho Princeton and Yalo
games, will be quite a different Institution
from what she has been. The material
there Is by no means second rate. It ap
proaches first class. And Haughton can
be depended upon for the rest.
Harvard, however, will meet a better
coached Princeton team than she expects
to find. She will meet n Nassau eleven
well coached In elemental play and one
that will have a moie diversified nttaek
than any Princeton eleven of a genera
tion Harvard will meet n Tiger team as
quick to profit by mistakes as Cornell
was. But it Isn't likely that Harvard
will be making these mistakes In her
November games nor that Mahan will
fall heir to another such off-occasion.
Tale has her hnnds tied. But do Har
urd and Princeton graduates and under
graduates believe that I.egoie, who was
asked to play upon a team by a man
mainly responsible for his eligibility, la
not deserving of iclnstntement?

There are occasions when common sense
nnd Justice nre obove all technicalities.
This I.egore cose Is one of them, waiting
only for Harvard and Princeton to take
up the matter with Tale until Justice is
done.
Old-fashioned Days
Dear Sir I may bo an old-timer, but In
many ways I like the old days best.
Then a bascbnll game or a football game
was decided by the score. A gamo was
lost by an error or a fumble and was won
by a hit or a flue play. But now this has
all passed Each game plajed li decided
by tho "breaks." The "breaks" win for
one and lose for the other. Skill, training,
speed, courage, power what arc these
to the "breaks" passed out by fate and
the experts and the plajcrs themselves?
Lopm than nothing. VETERAN.
Or, as Colonel Bron almost wrote:
"liieaks, breaks, breaks,
Decide each dog-gone game;
Power Is punk and nerve's the bunk,
It's the breaks that lead to fame."
"Slathewson a fair trap shooter." About
tho only tport that Matty isn't good at
Is giving bases on balls, lie could never
seem to gtt the hang of this department
of play.
The Fullback's Invictus
Out of tho mass that covers me,
Deep as the pit fiom dome to hoof,
I thank whatever gods theie be
If I still have an uncracked roof.
The Next Lightweight Battle
Johnnv Dundee and Charley White
lime both been mentioned prominently
ns the next opponent for Fieddle Welsh,
with the lightweight championship nt
slake.
Herein we find a largo clot of pure
bunk. Willie Ritchie Is still tho Ameri
can lightweight tltlcholder and Ritchie
lias the only outstanding claim for the
opening shot at Welsh. Ritchie was
b"nti-n nt a close match on points. He
wrin not even punished. Ho has never
drawn a leturn date over the 20-round
distance. Welsh should either give
Ritchie another chance or sui render his
portfolio and beat It to tho bosky dell.

LAFAYETTE ROOTERS
COMING HERE IN FORCE
Almost Whole Student Body to
Attend Penn Game
Tomorrow
BASTON, Pa.. Oct. 29 Almost the
whole Lifnyetto student body and their
band, numbering 40 pieces, will go tc
Philadelphia tomorrow morning on a
special train to see the Lafayette-Pcnn
game at Frnnklln Field. The greatest
enthusiasm has reigned at the college all
week. There have been daily drills in the
cheers and songs, and tonight a monster
mnss-meetlng will be held In Brainard
Hall.
The enthusiasm has been greatly in
creased through the Improvement that
has been made by tho team during the
last week. The line has been greatly
stiffened and the back field has learned
more plays.
The rivalry betw.cn Penn and Lafay
ette has been of such long standing
tomorrow's will bo the SGth contest that
both teams naturally play at the top of
their form The defeats Lafayette has
received this ear at the hands of Prince
ton and A', and J. also give the Maroon
and W,ite additional Incentive to re
trieve their fortunes
In the long history of Penn-Lafayette
football relations the latter has defeated
Its big rivals In eight contests and tied
them In four more. The game last year
was a tip at a 0-0 score. Lafajette will
enter the game on Franklin Field to
morrow with more confidence and with
a better spiiit than they have taken into
either of the games they lost.
PLAY THROUGH
ENTIRE SEASON
Trinity Explains Position,
Regarding Fullback's
Status in Athletics
A F 0 R M E It MACKMAH
Tiinltys position regarding Oeorw
Brickley, fullback of the varsity eleven,
nnd formerly a member of the Phllv
rielphla Athletics baseball club, Is s(4
forth by Herbert In the Now YoikTrlbun
ns follows:
"George Brickley, student by cholc
and professional athlete for a tlms h
necessity, will play fullback on the Trla
Ity. College football eleven for the rei
of this season, If the undergraduate sen
tlmcnt, as vigorously expressed here to
day, counts for anything.
"Trinity takes the stand that Hi aths
letlo code, based entirely on schohutla
... ""' LU t,Ry u' least-
, was generally known to Williams, Ne3
York University and other colleges with
which games were arranged, and that It
Is hard to undei stand how a lino can ba
di awn now against n man who had a
trial with tho Philadelphia Athletics,
i when summer baseball Is permitted aj
nt Bioan University nnd some other 'col.
i legos.
"Dr. John J. McCook, vice president of
. the college and chairman of the Athlctla
Committee, gavo me his personal assure
ance today that Brickley is a bona fids
I Rtutlent In good standing, and thn h.
"" I came to Trinity for the single purpose of
euillK un cuuCflUOn.
"There Is abundant evidence npart
from this assurance to bear the general
contention that the brother of Har
vard's great drop kicker Is nn earnest
hard-working student, that he does not
care particularly for football, and that
he Is playing only because of his regard
and friendship for Captain Castator. H
bitterly resents the position In which he
has been placed and would give up play,
lng tomonow If he followed the dictates
of his own feelings
"It can be said here also, with reason
able assurance, that his football suit will
be hung up for all time at the end of
this season, not so much becauso Trinity
too, has been placed In a rather unfortu'
nate position, but because he has no love
for the game and shuns publicity.
"It is tho feeling here among the un
dergraduates that Brickley Is In exactly
the same position although generally ad
mltted that the case is an exaggerated
one as several other members of th
team who have accepted money for on
reason or another, without violating any
rule of the college.
"Captain Castator, a fine looking, man
ly fallow, frankly said, 'Brickley is no
more Ineligible, from the point of view
of Williams or any other college, than
three or four others. It is only a ques.
tion of degree. For my part, then, I sea
no reason to play the hypocrite and sacri
fice one man so long as that man Is held
In good standing by the college faculty.' "
