"Bob" Folncll'a fishllng team Is at the
turning point of th season. A lctory
ocr Dartmouth's cleen this nftcrnoon will
mean that tho season probably will be
closed In a blazo of glory, as neither Cor
nell nor West Virginia Weslejan has shown
enough to warrant tho prediction that they
will trouble the Redmond Blue, while Michi
gan may or may not bo strong, ns the
teams beaten by the Wolverines, for the
moat part, hnvo been of unknown quantity,
barring Syracuse, which has been tho great
est disappointment of tho season.
Today's game will start at 2 p. m.
Folwell's team Is In better shape than
two weeks ago, when Warner's wonderful
Pitt eloven beat It, but tho Red and Blue
will not meet such a powerful opponent this
afternoon. Little can bo gained by a com
parison of the scores mads by the two
teams, an there Is no direct way of finding
out tho relative strength unless It Is on
the form shown by Penn against Pitt,
Syracuse against Dartmouth ond Pitt
against Syracuse.
Penn nppears to have a shade tho best
of It, In drawing a comparison by these
results, but as the games were played over
a stretch of threo weeks, condition may
have a lot to do with tho form shovn by
all of tho teams. It Is certain that Penn
Is In better shape and It playing better
football than at any time this season, whll
Dartmouth Is not as strong nor In as good
physical condition as when It met Prince
ton. It Is said that Dartmouth has perfected
Interference like that of Pittsburgh. It

the big Green team, as Cavanaugh always

PLANS TO ADJUST
EIGHT-HOUR ISSUE
President's Mind Busy Even
as He Rests After Hard
Campaign
TWO-WEEK REST URGED
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. Nov. 11
President Wilson, glad that the election Is
oter, today took the first thorough rest he
hai had since tho opening of the campaign
Ho drove through tho hills and planned to
seo a part at leaBt of the football game this
afternoon between Williams and tho State
Agricultural College.
The President leaves at 5:25 on his re
turn Journey to RhlneclInT, N. Y., where he
boards the Mayflower for a crutse down the
rher to New York. Ho expects to go
athoro Sunday for church and an automo
bile rldo, and will leavo that afternoon for
"Washington by train," arriving about -
o'clock.
FRIENDS URGE REST
T)ie President's friends are strongly urg
ing him to take an extended cruise on the
Mayflower or go away somewhere for a
two weeks' rest before taking up his ofn
cliil duties again and launching his con.
templated program In Congress. They say
the strain of the campaign has prevented
him from getting the real rest he needed
at Shadow Lawn
The President Is delighted In the hope
of haWng a working majority In both houses
of Congress and Is already planning legis
lation. First of all will probably come
completion of tho program set forth to set
tle the threatened railroad strike of tho
autmn. Immediate action will bo urged on
this In his first message to Congress.
President Wilson made his first public ut
terances since his re-election hero yesterday
A little speech mado to a crowd of citizens
and college students who had gathered
at the home of Francis Bones Sayre, his
son-in-law, to welcome him to Williams
town contained no trace of exultation or
of assured lctory. Later In the eenlng
he talked in a similar eln to a big crowd
which paraded the streets with a band and
torches to celebrate his triumph Tho note
which ran through both was one of relief
that with the campaign oer tho nation
could settle down In a common spirit of
patriotism, devoid of partisanship, to con
sfler the problems before It.

Charles 12ans Hughes Ami tho Republican
managers la expected soon, according to the
late doxelnpmcnta In tho political situation.
This acknowledgment probably will bo In
tho form of a telegram of congratulation
from the defented Republican candldato to

It Is said that Frank H Hitchcock nnd
Cloorgo W Tcrklns already have advised
Mr Hughes to concede tho election Wil

opposed such action and has Induced Mr.
Hughes to wait.
There may be no content of the result

With tho President's popular, majority

So far Mr. Hughes has 243 electoral -votes

cording to the estimates now nt hand.
LARQnST TOTAL VOTE
The candidates together polled n total of
lJi.llCTi-oiMtb6larcesttrVrer-T?'
corded In nny election In this country. The
welling of the vote this yenr was caused
by two things:
Tho vote of ths women and the keen
national Interest In tho Issues.
It Is estimated that the President re
ceived approximately S.553,000 of the popu
lar vote. Mr. Hughes got about 8.160.000
The President polled about 2,270.000 more
votes on Tuesday than ho did four years
ago Mr. Hughes received more votes than
Mr. Taft nnd Colonel Roosevelt combined
In 1912.
Keen Interest centers on tho possibilities
In Minnesota nnd New Hampshire. DIs

was considered strongly probable that the

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.f Nov, 1 J. Until
the official canvass of the vote In all coun
ties In California has been completed, the
Republican leaders In the State will not
abandon hopo that Charles Kvans Hughes
may receive at least some of California's
thirteen electoral votes.
In the face of returns from all but a
few scattering and remote precincts which
gave President Wilson a lead of about four
thousand, Chester H. Rowell, Republican
State charman, and his associates made
this statement today. They said that, while
they did not deny the general accuracy of
the unofficial counts, the Importance of Cali
fornia In determining the whole national
election made It the part of wisdom to
withhold final judgment, -
Meantime a political tempest lias been
stirred up In California Republican circles
by the loss of the State to the Democrats.
Chairman Howell, In a statement published
today, declared that JIughes was defeated
because he had failed to convince a large
minority of the Progressives that he was
the man who should lead them.

FOR WAR SECRETARY
Report That National Chairman
Will Succeed Newton D.
Baker
NEW YORK, Nov, 11. Political gossip
has It pretty well settled that Vance C. Mc
Cormick, Democratic national chairman. Is
to bo tAken Into President Wilson's Cabinet
as Secretary of War to succeed Newton D.
Baker, whose resignation has been rumored.
When this subject was broached to Mr,
McCormick he followed the usual custom
of successful campaign managers and vigor
ously denied that he had any Intention or
knowledge of becoming one of Mr,vWllson's
official family. He utoutly Insisted that ho
Intended to return to Harrlsburg to look
after the management of his newspaper.
Tho President thinks very highly of Mr.
McCormlck'a ability as an executive, as
was evinced when Mr, Wilson forced the
Democratlo convention In St. Louis last
June to accept him as the national chair
man. The closest personal relations exist
between the two, and the President's Im
plicit reliance on the Judgment of the Penn
sylvania editor during the campaign Is
cited as proof that he will ask Mr. McCor
mick to become one of his official advisers.
