Harvard ready for Cornell ;
H AUGHTON STRENGTHENS TEAM
- 0 REPEL INVADING ELEVEN
Crimson on Edge for Big: Battle, While Ithacans
Are Said to Be Worried Over Result Dart-
mouth Hopes to Beat Princeton
L
kVU ot the skill or rercy Houghton, Reggie Brown, Eo Leary, Mat Iogan nnd
A. eHker eminent coachee haa been applied to thtf problem of staving oft the Cor-
atack when the Dig1 lied team lnvadoa the stadium nt Harvard tomorrow
Kor two week vor since ttio Tufts disaster the'Crlmaon squad lias
nut through grueling .practices In nn effort to perfect a strong defonse to
Imrt back the plunging: backs from the line, tho sweeping' runa directed at tho ends
and th.e forward passes that are said to be the most Intricate and at the same time
brlNtent aerial plays ever attempted by an eastern team. Harvard knows she Is
toeing the crucial teat. She knows one more defeat will plunge the team Into the
ranks of mediocrity, and tf thero Is nnythlnjr "Fair Hahvahd" docs NOT want. It
is. a mediocre football eleven. Hence the unusual activity anions tho coaches
and the strenuous Workouts for the players.
But the situation at Harvard Is not so black tin It Is painted. In some quarters
key-already are framing excuses for the defeat, but this Is premature, to say tho
temmt. Harvard has not yet beon beaten by Cornell and, according' to the dope
Which Is being spilled In the Inner circles. It Is a fifty-fifty break whether she wins
r loses. It will b well to remember that for tho first tlmo In lo, theso many
- years, tho Crimson will enter a football gamo the second cholco. Instead of being
monarch of all she surveyed, she takes her place behind the Carnellan and AVhlto
and commonly 1s referred to as "tho other team which will play on Soldiers' Field."
This means that the players will not bo handicapped with overconfldence and will
to Into the gnmo like the proverbial under dog, fighting hard to attain bucccss,
knowing alt of the time that success only can como after a hard fight.
Mental Attitude of Men Is Most Important
THE mental attitude of the men will be most important In this big gamd. Psy
chology always has 'been an Impdrlant part of football and this will bo demon
strated tomorrow. Lost year Harvard played Cornell nnd, while a hard battle
was expected, no one ever dreamed of defeat. When tho tide turned against them,
the Crimson players were at loss an to what to do next, nnd, while they wero "up In
the air," Doctor Sharpo's men piled up enough points to win. This nlso was the
ease In tho Tufts game, and It's a safo bet that tho same condition of affairs will
not exist when Bill Langford starts them off Saturday. Cornell will be tho favorite,
and the men of Ithaca cannot help but feel that they havo tho edgo on their op
ponents. They probably will not bo overconfident, but cannot help but feel that they
are slightly better than tho team ngalnst which they aro about to play. This Is
tha dope that has been handed to us, and with It came a well-developed hunch
' that Harvard would win.
- The stock of the Crimson soared above par whon Percy Haughton ceased base
balling and accepted that $15,000 to take full charge of the team. Haughton's
presence In Cambridge was the causo of much rejoicing, for It was believed on nil
Ides that he would pull Harvard out of tho rut. Thero was no causo for this
display- of confidence, however, for a coach cannot turn out a good team if tho
material Is not there. But It was discovered that the material WAS there and It
was up to Percy to mold It Into shapo. Tho molding process has been going on for
two weeks and, Judging from reports, the eleven Is close to tho 1915 standard of
efficiency In tho later games.
"Bear" Stories Shipped From Cornell
FIOM Cornell we learn that there is considerable gloom far abovo Cayuga's
waters, for it Is realized that the team docs not compare, either as an offen
sive) or defensive machine, with tho grand aggregation of a year ago. Coach
Bharpo has been driving his players from one position to tho other In the hope of
. finding a strong combination, but as yet, it is said, his efforts have not been re
warded. However, do not bo misled by these "bear" reports. Cornell has a fairly
decent team and the lino, which Is tho most Important part. Is as strong as, If not
tronger'than. Harvard's. The end aretiot so strong as last year, but Al Sharpo
has a habit of ciammlnr enough football into tho new men to lost one game,
anyway.. And as Harvard Is the first big battlo of tho year, the men will bo
yrimed for it.
It is, believed by those close to affairs in Cambridge that Haughton will spring
a brand-new stylo of attack against Cornell. Instead of tho deceptive, cross
bucking, hidden ball attack which characterized the offensive play last year when
the forward pass was used only ns a threat, it is said that Percy has ripped off
the lid and takon up aerial football in its most airy stage. If such, is tho case, it
- will bo a grand struggle to wltnoss, for Haughton has beon working on this now
Hunt for years.
Dartmouth Confident of Beating Princeton
TESPITE the defeat at the hands of Georgetown last week, Dartmouth will
invade Princeton Just ns confident as If It had trimmed the "Washlngtonlana
a million to nothing. Tho players cannot be convinced that they were whipped by
a better team. They Insist that they had an off day, and as any team will have
an off day occasionally, the walloping will have no effect upon them. They were
preparing for Princeton and Princeton will bo dragged through tho mud. That's
the way they look at It. Kvcn tho New England critics refuse to bellevo that
Dartmouth Is out of the running. One writer in particular gives vent to the fol
lowing: "The defeat of Dartmouth by Georgetown was no surprise to mo. Satur
ttayl stated that the teams were evenly matched and that a victory for George
town was quite on tho cards. I have seen too many Dartmouth teams play
Princeton, in what usually is the Greon's first real contest, not to bo well aware
what a mess tho Hanoverians can make of thomselves. when they meot a strong,
well-coached team for the first time. Dartmouth's not unreasonable hope nnd
expectation now Is that Captain Gerrlsh and his men this week will play Prince
ton with Ihe, spirit and the skill which usually blossom out after the first hard
and horrible test has gone shuddering down into football history."
If this theory is correct, the Tigers are duo for a beating or will receive un
wholesome effects of Dartmouth defeat by Georgetown.
Now Is the Time for Princeton to Strike
piUNCETON, on the other hand, is out to win that game and win It by a com-
tf- fortable margin. This is Princeton's year, for It is realized that if the "Big
Three" tltlo is not won in 1916 there will be no hopo until 1918. This statement
way be regarded as startling, but when ono considers that thirteen of tho regu
lars on the team will be graduated next June tho dope works out by Itself. The
seniors on the elovon are Oennert, tho thoroughly capable' and aggressive center;
Captain Hogg and. Nou'rae, trt guards; McLean and Latrobe, tho tackles; Hlghloy,
e of the ends; Eddy and Ames, quarterbacks, both of whom havo Improved .won
derfully this year and each haa a chanco lo direct the team in tho big games;
Moore, Drlggs, TIbbott, Allan Brown nnd Ebrstadt. threo of whom aro certain to
start in the backfleld. This irieans that all . the voteruns will be wiped out and
Speedy Rush will be forced to build his team anew next year. And new. teams
Mom make much of a showing their first tlmo out.
As can easily be seen, Princeton will fight hard to beat Dartmouth, and the
noma mane the siege of Verdun look like a quiet family squabble. .

Kumars are plentiful these days. Tho latest is that Max Carey, the brilliant
Pittsburgh outfielder, would be traded to the Phillies because he is tred of play.
tag wHh the Pirates. There Is Just as much chance of the Phillies getting Carey
twr from Pittsburgh as there is of Moran trading Alexander the Great for him.
kioran has no eutfWder he Could trade for Carey who would be acceptable to
the Pittsburgh Club if decided to part with the speed merchant, and It Is likely
DreyfUM will Insist upon getting three or four regulars if Max is to be traded.
NVape would blame Dreyfuss for asking a record price or three stars for Carey,
a there are few better outfielders In the game, But Just remember, Pitts

NATIONAL BODY
WOULD BE UPLIFT
FOR BOXING HERE
Game Abroad Makes Great
Progress by Method of
Regulating Sport
WOULD RULE CHAMPIONS
One of the chief advantages of a national
association In control of boxing Is the au
thority such an organization would have
over the champions of the different elapses.
Under tho rules as enforced In England
by tho National Sporting Club, of London,
the French Federation of Boxing, of Paris,
and the Australian Boxing Association, of
Australia, champions must defend their
titles once every six months or forfeit to
bona fide challengers.
These foreign boxing associations also set
the welghtB at which the championship
bouts In the various classes (.hall be con
tested, and also make tho rules under which
the bouts are fought.
As the weights In tho three countries
named are uniform and the rules practically
the same, there Is uniformity, and interna
tional matches are easy to arrange. Tlie
weights as ofllclally adopted nnd strictly
enforced In England, France and Australia
are: Flyweight, 112 pounds; bantam, 118;
feather. 126; light, 135; welter, U7; mid
dle, ICO, and all above heavy.
The result of this uniform enforcement of
weights and rules makes the arrangement
of championship matches easy and insures
their smooth conduct
In America, where there Is no national
body In control of foxing, no scale of
weights and no uplform rules, there Is a
condition of the greatest confusion. Cham
plontr refuse to box unless they receive ex
travagant purses, and some of them refuse
to box at all unless they are assured of an
easy mark who will make no resistance or
attack. One tltleholder who won on a fluke
has steadfastly refused to meet challengers
except in ten-round no-declslon bouts in his
homo town.
While tho State boxing associations havo
dono a good work In ridding tho game of
many evils, still a State commission haa no
Jurisdiction over national championships,
cannot compel a national champion to box
and has no authority to set weltats that
would bo observed In bouts for national
titles.
For some peculiar reason a majority of
promoters and managers are bitterly op
posed to n national association, and seem
to prefer to drift along in the present slip
shod and unsatisfactory manner.

M'SWEENEY'S SEASIDE TRAPS
CALLED 'HELL-HOLES,' BUT
GOLFERS LIKE THE LAY-OUT
COUNTRY CLUD OF ATT.ANTIO CfTV.
NOIITHKIUI.D. U. J., Oct. 27. Night
mares dreamt on a restless couch, then
dynamited Into tha golf course hero; per
fect visions of an Inspired golf expert;
'hell-holes" not fit for mortal man ; the best
pitting of any golf courso in the section
these aro a. few of tho expressions of
opinion by the eighty golfers fortunate
enough to survlvo the qualifying round In
the fall tourney today on the trapping
of tho Country Club courso.
A good golf trap, according to tho
ancient reckoning, is one at which there
are the most hollers. If a chairman of a
courso blows out a trap and It Is Im
mediately condemned by all the members,
said chairman knows his pit has been
hnpplly placed and seeks to plant more of
the same.
This has always been so.
If It proves anything, the Northfleld
pits are the works of a genius, no less.
Author's Speech
Henry McSweeney has plotted the trap
ping, and the huge field in tho tourney Is
divided. Half praises him without end for
the excellence Of his handiwork; tho other
halt would bring the heavens to witness
that tha traps and those alone have cost
them their chance at tho laurels.
Greensman McSweeney has this to say:
"For tho man 'on the course there is
little trouble. The pits have been placed
to catch the poor shots, and they are so
built that a golfer has got to lose a shot
when he gots in. If ho tries to get dls
tanco from a trap It Is going to cost him
several Btrokos. I have placod traps for
the short player, tho medium player and
the long player. Traps near the pins are
playable, but through the green they post
a stroke In most coses."
This latter thought Is the reason C. O.
Waldo, winner of the Apowamls ancient
and honorable tourney, among others, called
the traps "hell-holes."
Uncle Ilcrb? Present!
Herbert Newton, Frankford, who says he
has not mlBsed a single tournament this
year, asserts McSweeney saw him play last
year and then put traps where all Newton's
shots went. He said he found many of his
old haunts, and there each tlmo was a trap
where last year was none.
J. Haines Llpplncott, Atlantic City veter-

an, was tho only golfer out of the Immense
gathering that did not get Into a single
pit or trap yesterday.
He feels that the trapping Is Ideal.
Fred Sherman, starter, was In his ele
ment yesterday, shouting cheery greetings
nnd Joshing every goiter that stepped on
tho first tee. He warned every ono about
the traps and laughed gleefully when he
saw McSweeney playing out of one of his
own Inventions, up to his waist In the trap.
"Every time McSweeney has a nightmare
ho turns It into a trap for our course,"
asserted Sherman.
uut most of the Joshing seemed to be
really adm.ratlon for tho construction, and
the judgment was general that the traps
had been placed with almost uncanny ex-pertness.-

BOB GARDNER, twice amateur golf
champion, Is a sportsman of such rare
attainments that wo are glad to show
further proof of his versatility In a com
munication Just received from Prof. Wil
liam Lyon Phelps, of Yale University.
"As an undergraduate at Yale, Bob Gard.
tier showed something- more than versatll
lly. He showed distinction In every branch
of activity wherein he competed. In his
frtthman .year he won a place on the Uni
versity Glee CIpb, was captain of tho fresh
man track team, became national amateur
irclf champion, and attained so high a rank
In scholarship that he was Included In the
small group that led the whole class for
general excellence In studies. Later on In
the course he was chairman of the Junior
promenade committee, leader of the Univer
sity Glee Club, captain of the university
track team, maintaining all the time a high
rank of scholarship.
"He never drank or smoked and always
seemed t6 be In perfect physical condition,
with the unruffled good nature that has
been such a help to him In golf contests.
That he Is a natural-born golfer Is proved
by the fact that In his senior year, after
