FIVE ELEVENSJNBEFEAIED Harvard Has Most Serious Test on Hand To-day in Michigan—Easy Games Scheduled ify .lsionatrii Press. New York, 0?t. 31. —Mid-seasou in college football find five of the leading teams in the east undefeated —Prince- ton, Harvard, West Point. Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania State. Of these Har vard 's eleven has on its hands to-day the most serious task, since it faces Michigan, while the other four are playing teams looked upon as being not so formidable. The Crimson's game witli the Westerners—their first meet ing since 1895 —is one of the season's best gridiron attractions and is the third clash between tast and West this fall. In four games between Harvard and Michigan dating back to 1881 Michi gan has lost each by a shut out score. Of the undefeated leading eastern elevens Princeton plays Williams: West Point meets Villa Nova: Pittsburgh plavs Dickinson, and Pennsylvania State plays Lafayette. These opponets of to-day did not meet last year. The only member of the so-called Bij Pive to play to-day against au eleven which won from it in 1913 is Vale.- which meets Colgate. The blue team hopes to reverse last season's six to sixteen score. Pennsylvania and Cornell will play teams from which they expect to win without great effort. Pennsylvania meets Swarthmore and Cornell has a weaker opponent in Holy Cross, which has not scored a point against an* team this year. Two other important contests on the schedule are Syracuse \ *. Carlisle, ami Dartmouth vs. Amherst. Syracuse on its re ord is favored over the Indians.

Two Tutors of the Calibre of Percy D. Haughton and Fielding H. Yost * Have Not Been Opposed in Foot ball in Many Years New York. Oct. 31.—When the Har- ( vard and Michigan football teams meet j [ in the stadium at Cambridge this aft-1 ernoon the contest will be as much a: battle between coaches as elevens. On j the Michigan side of the field the west j ern gridiron contingent will lie in charge of Fielding H. Yost while on 1 1 the Crimson bench Pery D. Haughton ! | will direct the Harvard campaign. Two| I coaches of greater fame have not been i ! opposed in football in many years and j the struggle between the machines de veloped and taught by these past mas ters of gridiron strategy is expected to be one of the classics of the autumn ! sport. Although differing widely in person ality and methods Haughton and Y'ost ( year in and year out achieve wonders with th e material that reports for foot ball at the two great universities i which they represent. Haughton is a | coach who talks little, thinks deeply i and is tireless in action. Once the I early season preliminaries are complet- I ed Haughton rules the squad with an ; iron han 1. He plays no favorites und his instructions are sharp and to the point. He demands explicit obedience' and expects immediate improvement in : play once a fault either individual or 1 I of the team as a whole, has been point-i | ed out and the proper method of play | explained. j Harvard's head coach is a keen stu-j ! dent of football and knows the game both ancient and modern 111 every ! phase. He is an autocrat on the fivld, j inclined to be sharp and caustic in his instructions and remarks and a coach who believes in hard practice and plen-j j ty of it for both the Varsity and sec-! ! ond string players. He is quick to de ! ! teet ability in a candidate and is al ways looking far ahead, planning his system and plays to fit the type of; i team material at his disposal. Huugh-j ton is inclined to be conservative in his methods of attack although he can and occasionally does devise startling' and unusual plays which completely up < set the opposing team because of their 1 , striking novelty and the cleverness with ! which they are developed from ordi-| 1 nary formations. Yost might be aptly termed a foot ball fanatic. Like Haughton, he was 14 , player and a brilliant oue in his un dergraduate days but has never ceased to absorb and keep up with the rapidly changing game. In face many of the plays and rules now part of the aunual autumn college sport are directly trace able to the Michigan coach. On the field he is much more active and dem onstrative than Haughton. He keeps up a running tire of comment and | criticism and frequently jumps into line or backtield in order to personally j illustrate just how the play he is aim -1 ing at should be made. Speed and dash is almost a mania with Yost and his ) constantly repeated phrase "Hurry up! | Hurry up!" has caused it to be tacke 1 j on to his name in the west until the j general follower of football believes j that he was baptized " Hurry ITp Y'ost." | Tlie mentor of the Ann Arbor foot ' ball teams is particularly famous for j the brilliant, daring and unusual plays 1 j and football strategy which h? works ! ! out with the aid 0! his Michigan elev ens. While he knows and teaehos all ' the fundamentals of the game and the i ordinary running and plunging attack Mtimoniilt on tile. Give AGE ind FUl^ [ Dr. F. Harvey Roof. Dept. 1193.

Sltet, Al«*ys RcJUbif SOL* BY DRUGGISTS EVEBYWMLRI these are but the ground work. Yost rises far above the ordinary football plane. Given the proper material with which to work he builds up a series of skillfully conceived plays which be cause of their originality cause conster nation among opponents and frequently the game officials. Y'ost, however, is a keen student of the rules and seldom springs a play which a careful reading of the regulations will not prove to be legitimate. Off the field Haughton and Yost are as unlike one another as they are when in action. Haughton seldom talks foot ball while Y'ost will spend hours dis cussing the game in all its phases, il lustrating particular plays with what ever objects are handy. He can play a game with eleven chairs or salt cel lars, using a hall or a table as the case may be and never fails to keep his audi ence spellbound as he shifts his team with lightning rapidity. Both coaches are comparatively wealthy and men of business affairs and interests during the months when the football is dead. They coach more for the love of sport than because of the financial returns al though both receive large salaries for their three months' work each fall. While the average spectator at to-day's game will not see it, there will be a great battle of wits and strategy at Cambridge this afternoon and football experts from all parts of the country will be present to see the outcome. Norman Brookes and Anthony P. AAfilding, the Australasian winners of the Davis Tennis Cup, are advocating; changed in both the England tennis \ championship regulations and the Pa- 1 vis cup rules as well. In each case the famous racquet experts' suggestions are sportsmanlike and made with the idea of improving the game and creating greater interest in the sport. Wilding I and Brookes both state that they be lieve that the English singles cham pionship holder should play through succeeding title tournaments instead of standing out and meeting the winner at the end of the tourev as is the case at present. Since Brookes holds the honor at this time his advocating of a change in the rules to conform with the American plan carries unusual weight. His suggestions regarding future Da vis iup plfln are even more radical and coming from a player of his age are stripped of any personal advantage since the plan would favor youth far I more than a man averaging on forty, j Brookes wants the cup holding coun try to take part in each competition from the start, and further, all the matches in the different rounds to be' : played on the same ground. Another' important proposal that is put forward! ■is that the tournament should take \ place in a different country each year! irrespective of which nation holds'the 1 cup. America, the British Isles and! Canada, Norman Brookes suggests, should visit Australia in November,! 19 la, anil even if the Australasians' successfully defended the trophv the ; next competition would take place in' [either England, Canada or America. j At the annual meeting of the frail-: [chise owners of the Texas Baseball j league to be held at Dallas, tomorrow' a proposition to reduce the league from ail eight to a six-club circuit will be considered. Several of the league inag nates are sui.l to favor such a move but no forecast on the majority vote is J possible. The 191} season was un- I profitable ,n several cities and it is the idea ol' those advocating a reduction; m the circuit that (lie lapse of the game at one oi two point* for a season or more will ultimately improve the | professional baseball situation in Tex-! | as. English followers of athletics are us ing a comparison of tile times and dis-1 tanees in the United States, and Eng-! lish track and Held championship games jot' 1911 to prove that the British atli iete is regaining his former standard | of performance. Out of thirteen events | m which :i comparison is possible ten of the English figures are better than j that ol the American records. In two .events, however, American athletes hung up the winning figures and con tinental entrants were responsible for others. Seveial major league clubs have been invite.i t'i .10 ihe i spring training at lexas mineral nrings resorts in 1915, ■\ axahachie has been recommended for 011 e of the St. Louis clubs.

PLAYERS ARK OVERPAID Federal League Agent Admits Johnson Is Demanding High Salary St. Louis, Oct. 31.—Gossip continues ; that Walter Johnson, the fast pitcher jof the Washington Americans, will pit h tor the St. Louis Federals next I season, but Fielder Jones, manager of I the St. Ijouis team, would not admit ! yesterday that Johnson had signed a | contract. | Jones returned to St. Louis yester- I day from a three-day trip. He denied | that he has seen Johnson, but indicated i ae was after him. Jones was quoted in a local paper yesterday afternoon as follows: 1 cannot sav if Johnson will be obtained by the St. Louis club. He "ants a lot of money to come here. Even if we met the salary he was paid this season by the Washington club it wolud be a good sum. Personally I am not in favor of huge salaries for ball players. They are overpaid now. "Of course, Johnson is a great pitch er. He is worth anything he is able | to get.''
