SPALDrXG'S IMPORTANT OPINION.
He Thinks Tbtn Will Be a Twelve-Clnb League
Before the Trouble Is Ended.
rCrECIAI, TTXrORASIS TO TOT OISrATCH.I
Jew York, Not. 24. Thursday after
noon at Manhattan field the "Varsity foot
hill elevens of Yale and Princeton -Rill
play the final game of the season for the
inter-collegiate football championship. In
the matter of public interest this is the
mot important game of the sca'on. If it is
a favorable flay, the crowd of spectators
h ill probably number 40,000, the largest
that has ever witnessed a football match in
llu: country. The gionnds will be opened
at 10:30 a. m. and the game will begin at 2
r. M. Xo matter which side wins, the
struggle lor the championship promises to
be a hard one. Last year it was a one-sided
content. Princeton worked developing a
team nntil she turned out the champions of
1S89 and then fell flat Lat year she bad
no material in college to work into a strong
eleven, and was swamped by Yale as a re
sult. The Stronger Team.
Of the two college, Princeton and Har
vard, Princeton has always been the
Mroncer opponent of Yale, on account of
her knowledge of the game, and with good
material at hand this year there is no
reasonable ground for supposing that
Princeton will not give Yale a hard game
Thursday. Of the Princeton team Warner,
the captain, is a Lawrenceville graduate.
This i his third year at Princeton. Ilcfore
entering college AVarreu had established
his reputation on his preparatorv school
team, of Inch he was captain. Idt year
he was on the sick list nearly all the season,
but played in the Yale game. He was not
in form, however, and did not distinguish
n-tnself. After lliggs resigned the cap
taincy of the eleven". AVarrcn was chosen.
Warren plavs on the right end.
Xext to Warren plays Harold, the right
t.-.ckler. Harold is a" powerful man. He
iiIjj ed for three years on the Franklit. and
Marshall team, and nas consideied one of
their bet men. He entered Princeton this
year to take a graduate course in electrical
engineering. Kicgs, at right guard, is the
giant of the rush line. He is the
Mainstay of the Team,
and the man on whom Captain Warren most
relies to break Yale's rushes. Ilicis is of a
football family. Tho or three elder broth
ers have Graduated from Princeton, and
were prominent football plavers. Riggs
has played right guard on the 'Varsity
oleen since he entered college in 1SSS. He
is not only a plucky man, but he is a tricky
man, and fevr can get the best of him.
Symmes, the center rusher of the term,
is a" powerful looking fellow. His broad
bick and shoulders, his big bend, and his
expansive smile make him one of the most
interesting men on the team. Wheeler,
left guard, is one of the most powerful men
on the rush line. He is considered to be as
strong as Kiggs and weighs 183 pounds,
and, with the exception of Symmes is the
hea iest man in the team. Princeton has
two crack men in Hollv and Vincent at left
tackle and left end respectively. Holly is
not oer heavy, but is very strong. Vin
cent, left end, is a good man for the posi
tion. He is a sure tackier, very active,
and is never hurt.
Behind the Line.
Behind the line Princeton is strong.
With King at quarter back, Flint and Poe
for hall backs and Homaus at full back, the
ball ought to be advanced more times than
it is forced bacK by Yale. King is a
"headv" player. He is cool and lollows
the ball cloely. Flint and Poe are ground-
gamers, and Homans is a good kicker.
Princeton also has a good line of subs, a
fact which speaks well for the future of her
same.
Yale will probably put the same familiar
men in the field that played against Har
vard at Springfield last Saturday. So much
has been said about those players that it is
unnecessary to tell of their football records.
Yale is playing a fine game, and against it
will be pitted new material which has been
developed as well as time would allow.
Princeton is playing a better team game
than Harvard, although Harvard has bet
ter material. There will be no such
wretched fumbling on the part of Prince
ton, from all indications, as marked
Harvard's play against Yale; so it seems as
though Princeton oucht to make at least as
good a fight as did Harvard, and will, in all
probability, meet Yale's supeib play with a
ttcady, careful game that will make Prince
ton's supporters look for great things next
3 ear.
THE ASSOCIATION GAMES.
Some Exciting Contests Expected Among
tho Teams of the Local T.eagne.
The interest in the affairs of the Western
Pennsylvania Football League has been at
a very low ebb since the disastrous meeting
of that organization a little over t wo w eeks
ago. Harmony being once more restored,
however, the enthusiasm is again being re
vived, and, with the commencement of the
holiday contests to-morrow, the League
looks like taking a new lease of life.
The games scheduled for Thanksgiving
Day are as follows: Pittsburg versus
Bloomfield, at Recreation Park; Xcw Cas
tle versus McDonald, at Xew Castle, and
McKeesport versus Homestead, at MeKees
port. The game between the two local
clubs is expected to be a very
close affair. In their first game, the Bloom
fields claimed they lost the game through
the bad decisions of the referee. Good care
should, therefore, be exercised in appoint
ing a man for the position who will give
satisfaction to both teams. The most im
portant meeting to-morrow will undoubt
edly be that between the New Castle and
McDonald teams. The Xew Castles have
now got a good hold on first position, and
will try their utmost to win to-morrow's
game, as the McDonalds are the only team
who have beaten them this season. The
first game between the Homesteads and Mc
Keesports resulted in a tie, but the Home
stead team have been showing such excel
lent form since that time that they ought to
about have the best of to-morrow's argu
ment. The game at Recreation Park to-morrow
will commence at 2:30. The Pittsburg team
is expected to be as follows: Goal, Ben
Poole; backs, T. Powell and W. Powell;
halfbacks, .T. Attwell, C. Childs and J.
Smith; forwards, Matthews, Laogford,
Wardle, O'Brien and Waldron.
PEIKCET0K AT PBACTICE,
The OraDce and Black Flayers Have Some
Very Good Kxcrclse.
Pkisceton, Xov. 24. In spite of the
down-ponring rain and strong wind abont
600 students attended the practice yester
day. There was also a spinkling of ladies,
the eleven lined up at 1:10 and plaved 40
minutes. Poe opened up with a gain of 30 j
yards, and Flint on the fourth play made a
touchdown. TTime, 6 minutes. Homans
made a brilliant run of 30 yards. Then
Flint twice and Harold once gained 10
yards, and HoL'v rushed the ball across for
another touchdown. Flint again gained
25 yards. King, on a trick, gained 15 yards,
crossing the line, but he went out of bounds.
Flint again made a touchdown. The fourth
touchdown was made by Flint.
Homans showed great improvement in
punting. The eleven was slow in getting
on the ball after the Scrub had lost it. The
interference was excellent. Bergen in kick
ing and Small in running did good work on
the Scrub. George, '89, was here to co-ch
Symmes. The other coachers were Poe,
Speir, '87, and Thomas, '90. There was a
hard rain during most of the practice. The
eleven Is in good physical condition. The
practice was strong.
BIG ODDS OR YALE.
Fire to Three on the Bines Find
Few
Takers at New Haven.
New Havejt, Nov. 24. Special The
Yale football team made its last appearance
to-day on the Yale field. Shortly after 2
o'clock the members of the team and subs,
headed by Captain McClung, left the fence
and on an easy trot ran to the field, where
half an hour's work in practicing signals
was indulged in. After the work the men
ran back to the campus and each in turn
trotted off toward his room. They ap
peared in the best of spirits and wholly re
covered from, the hard battle with Harvard
last Saturday! They met at supper to-night
as usual. With the morning's breakfast and
a dinner at 12:30 the training for this year
will have come to an end. At 1:30 the team
will leave for 'New York and will be quar
tered at the Filth Avenue Hotel.
Since the last Saturday's game Heffelfin
ger, McClung, Welles, Bliss and McCor
mick hae carried bruises and sprains, but
to-dar they seem to have entirely recovered,
and, like the rest of the team, are as fresh
as they were a week ago. To some people
they seem in better condition, for they have
done no hard work during the past week,
except that in the game with Harvard last
Saturdav. .Recitations in all of the depart
ments of the University will close at 1:30 P.
Sf. to-morrow, and many students expect to
take the 1:30 train on which the team go to
New York. Others will not go until later,
atd manr will wait until the early Thursday
trains. The betting on ihe game is very
quiet. Students and sporting men offer 5 to
3 on Yale, but find few takers.
PLAYED A GOOD GAM2.
The Holy Ghost College Hots Beaten by the
t'nlverslty Second Kleven.
There was really an exciting game of
Rugby football yesterday on the grounds of
the Holy Ghost College, between the teams
of that institution and the second eleven of
the Western University. The weather was
not very favorable but the playing was
good.
The result was 4 to 0, in favor of the
University boys, although that score was
doubled by the college players. The for
mer made a touch down by one of their
backs getting around the end. Quinn, the
right tackle, and Carey, the fullback, both
slipping down.
Subsequently one of the college team
players got the ball after it had been fum
bled by the University fullback and made a
touch down. The referee decided against
the score, claiming that the ball had not
been in play. The decision, although com
plained of, was accepted and the Holy
Ghost bovs were beaten in an excellent
game. They are a creditable team and have
done well so far this season.
To-morrow morning the college team will
play the High School eleven on the East
End grounds.
Some Big Friz -s.

team left Philadelphia this afternoon for
New York, where they will play the Wes
leyan boys on the Manhattan Athletic Clnb

ME. JANSSEN'S PLAN.
His New Amateur Athletic Scheme.
Looks Like Being a Success.
CLUBS NOTIFY THEIR APPROVAL.
The East' End Gymnastic Club Members
Have an Interesting Entertainment,
GENERAL 6P0BTING NEWS OP THE DAT
rsrECIAL TKLKGKAK TO THE TJtSPATCH.l
New York, Nov. 24. Fred Janssen's
scheme of a league of athletic clubs appears
to be making good headway. As a matter
of fact, the only opposition to the plan has
come from a few men who are prominently
identified with the Amateur Athletic
Union. However, nearly every large ath
letic club in the country have announced
their hearty approval of the scheme. Mr.
Janssen has a letter book full of communi
cations from prominent athletic clubs,
stating that the idea met with favor, or had
decided to join.
On July 29 the S,taten Island Athletic
Club passed a resolution appointing E'. W.
Janssen, J. G. Cole and, H. Woodruff a
committee to organize an Athletic Club
League.
Oil October 2 a notice was received from
Secretary W. T. Wallace that at a meeting
of the Athletic Club of the Schuylkill Navy
they had decided to join the movement
Howard Perrv, Secretary of the Colum
bia Athletic Club, of Washington, on Octo
ber 16 notified Mr. Janssen that that club
had decided to join the new league. The
Olympic Athletic Club, of San Francisco,
also notified Mr. Janssen on November 11
that ihey could be included in the move
ment. Among other clubs that have de
cided to join are the Athemeum Club, of
Toronto; Crescent Athletic Clnb, of Brook
lyn; Pastime Athletic Club, of St. Louis,
and the Providence Athletic Club.
The Detroit Athletic Club, through their
President, F. K. Stearns, and ex-President
F. W. Eddy, have expressed approval, also
the Manhattan A. C.
Mr. Janssen is in daily receipt of com
mendatory letters, and the outlook is de
cidedly favorable for the success of the
plan. The drift of sentiment of those who
favor the plan is that the present unsatis
factory condition of A. A. U. affairs makes
a change of some sort very desirable.
THE TWJELVE-CLUB SCHEME.
J. W. Spalding Thinks That Plan Will Be
the End of the Trouble.
New York, Nov. 24. Special "Do
you think the plan for a 12-club League
will eventually succeed?" was yesterday
asked of J. W. Spalding by a reporter.
"While I am unable to make an authori
tative -statement," he replied, "yet I am
confident a League with 12 clubs will be the
outcome of the present negotiations. Only
two cities are now opposed to it, Philadel
phia and Chicago, and I do not think the
Philadelphia Association clnb managers are
so violently antagonistic as is generally sup
posed. Boston is openly in favor of the
plan. Philadelphia is leaning that way, but
the Chicago Association club magnates still
hold their heads very high. The idea, how
eve is steadily gaining ground and will be
put into execution before spring.
"Yes, a 12-club League is entirely prac
ticable. The arguments that there will be
too many tail-enders will not da When
the Association tried the 12-clnb plan some
years ago, nearly all the cities in the circuit
were weak, for the reason that at the time
the Association added to their not power
ful circuit, four shaky ball towns. At the
present time the circuit would be composed
of the best places now occupied by League
and Association clubs, and would be very
strong. There would be ten very good
cities and two average ones. The ten
strong points would be New York, Brook
lyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland and
St. Louis. The avdrage towns would be
Washington and Louisville.
"If there is an impression that anybody
is to be unfairly treated, it should be dis
pelled. So far as the League is concerned,
everything will be done on a basis of fair
ness. No clnb will be 'thrown down,' the
sole object being to put the game on a
foundation where it will prosper. The
present condition of affairs is very hurtful
to the sport, and all who have its interests
at heart should strive to improve it."
PI WAS A SUCCESS.
The East End Gyms Have Some Good Ath
letic Performances- and Contests.
The athletic and musical entertainment at
the East End Gymnastic Club last evening
was one of the most successful that has been
held in this locality for a long time. The
gymnasium building was crowded, and a
large number of ladies were presen:.
The principal features of the programme
were the boxing and wrestling. In the
middle-weight class the .Martin brothers
gave a fair exhibition, although they have
much to learn. John Stancliff gave a
splendid exhibition of ball striking, and in
a setto with H. Herbert showed that ho is
a good boxer. Stancliff and Herbert are
heavy-weights, and they were cheered.
They really did well, and with a little more
study Stancliff can become a thoroughly
good man with the gloves.
Coates and Garrison had an exciting
wrestling contest, and they wrestled so long
without a fall that Referee Goodwyn called
the contest a draw. The audience yelled
for a finish and when the wrestlers resumed
Coates threw his man by a neat flying fall.
M. Dn Barry won the"high kick by clear
ing 8 feet 24 inches. W. C. Adams gave a
performance on the slack wire and the mem
bers of the club gave exhibitions of horizon
tal bar exercise.
And Another Record Gone,
Stockton, Nov. 24. Another record was
broken to-day by Sidney, a yearling filly
Frou Frou, who was driven by Millard
Sanders in 2:20. beating Bell Bird's time
one-quarter of a second. Her quarters
were: :37, 1:14, 1:51, 2:26. She finished
the last quarter in 35 seconds. A month
ago Frou Frou made her first record 2:41,
and Sanders has been keeping her coming
along faster at every meeting. Fausta, a
yearling filly bv Sidney, paced a mile in
2:24J, beating his world's record of 2:23)4
made here Saturday. She was well rated
by Sanders, going to the half in 1:13) and
finishing the last quarter in 35 seconds.
Expect a Tough Fight.
New Haven, Nov. 4. Yale will do no
more work on the field before she meets
Princeton Thursday. Yesterday afternoon
the team ran several miles, and enjoyed a
bath after it was over. All the men are in
prime condition, and apparently none the
worse for their conflict with Harvard.
Princeton is acknowledged as a foe worthy
of Yale's metal, and it will not be wtih ab
solute confidence that they enter the strug
gle. The team said her supporters expect
to win, but they have doubts enough not to
care to wager more than 4 to 3. They find
some takers for small sums.
--
To-JJight's Swimming Race.
Fose and McEwen will swim their sec
ond race, at the Natatorium this evening,
the distance being one mile. As Monday's
contest was such an exciting affair there is
sure to be a good attendance this evening.
It is safe to say that $300 or 5400 have been
bet on to-night's contest, and both swim
mers are very confident of victory. it is
difficult to tell who the winner will be.

The indications are that Clifton will open
its crates very soon. There has been a finan

direction, and it is accentuated by tho fact
that carpenters and painters are now busily

pretty little track. It is very doubtful lr
