DRAW this game the award champtun will at Not In a $60 Ruasfan Mink Lined black Kersey cloth shell $2050 ern universities None of the east ern institutions with the exception of Pennsylvania cared to schedule games with Michigan and the alli ance between these two was re garded as a life saver for both Pennsylvania in the east has found just as much difficulty in schedul ing games with such institutions Yale and Princeton as Michigan has among the west 9 or that reason both Michigan and Pennsylvania are very dependent upon each oth is notnlng less than sui cidal for either to stir up animosi ty at this time The same combination of alert ness and speed enabled White and Dunlap to score the winning touch down against Yale It was White who broke through and captured the loose ball and Dunlap who shouldered Howe out of the way and permitted the Tiger end to complete his C5 yard run for the score An analysis of both the Harvard Princeton and Yale Princeton games therefore shows that It was individual speed and alertness coupled with the lack of these on the part of op ponents that allowed the Tigers to win It looks as though Coach Roper came to the sensible conclusion early In the season that no two evenly matched teams could expect to advance the ball consistently un der the new rules It was his con tention that the team which had the best defense abd was the keen est to follow the ball would be re turned the victor The result proved the soundness of his Judg ment It Is high time therefore for football critics to stop their attempt to belittle championship and to give them full credit for what they have accom plished The Cornell PeBnslyvenla Game There Is less to choose between Cornell and Pennsylvania this year than for a good many seasons It will be a game between two de feated teams Pennsylvania having lost four times and Qornell twice In the matter of weight and ex perience the two teams are even ly matched On the basis of comparative scores Cornell certainly has the bet ter of the argument The two teams have played two common opponents Tennslyvania State col lege and Michigan State college won from Cornell by the score of 5 0 but fairly overwhelmed Pennsyl vania by the score of 22 6 Cor record is further enhanced by the fact that the Ithacans beat Michigan 6 0 whereas the Wolver ines defeated Tennslyvanla 11 9 But the fact cf the matter is that few persons pay much attention to the value of comparative scores when considering the outcome of this annual Thanksgiving day game This is due to the fict that there have been so many Cornell elevens heralded as world beaters who have Detroit ur Roh? actory and Salesrooms 192 Ra i Becent Baseball League Meetings jurnish Much Timber for the Jokers Cbiciso November Hu orou incident

American Association Pacific Coast and Eastern league from their AA claaslneatijn 'probably one of the best things that happened was during the sec nnd day session On this afternoon Wheeling delegates passed around large bunches of stogies roily a foot long Wheeling wasking the convention for next rear and gave these West Virginia tntars as little mementoes Of course every delegate present "lit and started to enjoy the fragrant weed Among the number was Al Dugdale magnate from Seattle Wash Mr Dugdale is no lorlng chicken weighing in the neighborhood of 300 pounds He really was the largest delegate nresent and got as much enjoy ment out of the sessions as any body else Incidentally he mixed In the discussion quite frequently In summarizing the reasons why Princeton won the football cham pionship there are three things which stand out emphatically irst of all Princeton was thoroughly coached in the rudiments of the game The men knew how to tackle how to handle kicks perfectly anu could not bo fooled by their op attack No higher testi mony can be given to their splen did handling of the ball than what hpv did In th Yale eftine Thit was played on a Held covered with water and with a water soaked ball rom first to last the game was a punting duel yet so cleanly did Princeton handle the ball that there was not a single fumble of punts The second element In Prince favor was the Individual speed and alertness of her players There were two men on the Tiger eleven who showed In brilliant fashion They were White and Pendleton White in particular proved his right to be ranked with the famous Poes and Dewitt in football history It was White who scooped up a ball after Hollister's kick had been blocked in the Har are! game and ran 95 yards for what proved to be the winning touch down AVhat made his work the more creditable was the fact that a few minutes before Harvard had had precisely the same opportunity but was unable to take advantage Of it Huntington back had picked attempt had been blocked held of 65 yards ilthnnirh hud over Pendleton the Tiger back was so fast that he caught him Inside of 30 yards and prevented what look ed a sure touchdown When It came turn to pick up a loose ball and make a touchdown he had no such start as Huntington but his teammates gave him splendid protection and then his own natural speed enablea him to outdistance all the Crimson tacklers There may be some luck In this but a fairer estimate of White was an It Is nia men ever made any protest over decisions of the officials that their action in this case has at tracted a great deal of attention Their protest was very similar to a vigorous objection which Michigan made to the decision of the ref eree in the Penn MIchlgan game of 1907 in which the othcial disal lowed a touchdown which Michi gan scored on a very Intricate for ward pass Coach Yost claimed and apparently with good reason that the pass was entirely legal but had been disallowed because It was so complicated that the of ficial was unable to size It up promptly The second disagreeable feature of the Penn MIchlgan game was the attack upon the athletic prac tices of Pennsylvania by the Mich igan Daily undergrad uate newspaper This publication after the game which apparently was played in the friendliest spir it raked up a statement of some sporting writer referring to a for mer game and has made accusa tions concerning the lack of sportsmanship on the part ot Pennsylvania for which there does not seem to be any ground what soever The charges contained in the editorial were branded as false by Coach Yost and other Michigan officials Pennsylvania men paid absolutely no attention to the pub lication although they regretted it It will be very bad policy for either Pennsylvania or Michigan to allow any friction to disturb their present relations Neither institution can forget that it Is In a peculiar position as regards the rest of the intercollegiate When the University of

Ithacans Have But Once Defeated the Quakers and Appear to Have Good Chance to Turn the Trick Thanksgiving! xnnaaelpnia Pa November With the playing of the Army Navy and Yale Harvard games yesterday there remains but one important In tercollegiate contest of ths sea son That is the battle scheduled to take place on Thanksgiving day Detween the University of Pennsyl vania and Cornell In spite of the ract that the result of will have no bearing on of the intercollegiate ship the game itself tract unusuni utfantmn good many years have Cornell and ennsyivania been so evenly match ed nor had more at stake It is true that Pennslyvania has lost four Important games and that Cor nell has been beaten twice but 1 notwithstanding this there is a big ger demand tor seats than ever be lore There is not likely to be a seri ous dispute over right to be ranked as the intercollegiate champion for tne year It is true that the Tigers were favored with most unusual run of luck that ever followed any big college team but the fact still remains that Princeton was the best coached team in the east It was their knowledge of rudimentary football their clean tackling and the won derful alertness with whic they followed the ball that made it pos sible for them to defeat both Har vard and ale Of course it was pure luck that enabled the Tigers to defeat Dartmouth by the queer est drop kick that football records Unfortunately ior Princeton there has been a disposition on the part ot a good many critics to belittle her victories over Harvard and Yale The trouble is that most critics judge a team solely by its offense Offensively Princeton was probably weaker than either Har vard or Yale but it must not be forgotten that they had everything besides the attack which entered into producing victories Against Harvard Princeton was able to make less than live first downs against Yale the Tigers did not once get a first down Harvard gained three times as much ground as Princeton and Yale nearly five times as much Yet Princeton had something which both Yale anu Harvard lacked and which enabled the Tigers to come out victorious The writer saw the Harvard Princeton and Yale Princeton games Huntington then his own natural speed enablea There may be some luck wnuld be that he end of All American caliber Action Attracts Attention so seldom that Pennsylva ever made any protest subsequently made a pitiable show ing on ranklin field that even Cornell men are inclined to hold back On the contrary it has al ways been that no matter how poorly Pennsylvania may have played in the early or middle part of the season the Quakers always are' able to rally to defeat Cornell Only once since 1693 when the first game was played has Cornell de feated Pennsylvania That was tn 1901 when the Ithacans won first by the score of 24 to 6 This how ever was about the poorest team that Pennsylvania ever sent on the gridiron and marked the overthrow of Woodruff as a coach Cornell next nearest effort to a victory was in 1906 when the score was 0 0 But even this was a moral victory for Pennsylvania because after the Ithacans had rushed the ball in side of five yard line in the last two minutes of the game the Quakers put op such a tremendous defense that they held Cornell at bay seven times There have been a good many years in which Cornell came down to ranklin ield with what looked co be a better team than Pennsyl vania possessed but either over confidence or an almost superhuman rally on the part of Pennsylvania sent them back defeated or that reason not many Cornell men are now willing to wager their monej on the ability of their team to de feat the Quaxers until the deed has been accomplished more than once The result of the series to date follows: Aftermath of eiiB MlchigaB Game One or two rather unpleasant de velopments followed the game be tween Pennsylvania and Michigan One was the criticism which the Pennsylvania coaches made of the decisions of Referee Pendleton who disallowed one of the Quaker touch downs and on another decision to Michigan indirectly enabling the Wolverines to score their winning touchdown attack upon Referee Pendleton was based upon the allegation that in both of the cases in which he ruled against them he was not following the ball and was not In a position to make a fair decision UNIV PENNSYLVANIA CORNELL of Pa 50 Cornell

is of Such Importance in Playing the Hot Cor ner BY A SANBORN Th third Job baa bn made both easier and harder by the evolution of baseball In the iaet dozen years Today It requires less physical courage and mure sped than in the oluen days There is less danger that the third base legs will be cut out from under him by red hot grounders or low liners than there used to be when more than half the batsmen dug their spikes into the din and luua a whuie arm swing with the full length of their bats Napoleon Lajoie is one ot tne few remaining batsmen ot the old school Any time be comes to bat the third baseman must play deep in self defense tor Dajule can pun almost any kind ot uelivery rasi or slow down that third base line like a shot provided he times ths delivery correctly There used to be lots ot batsinn like Lajoie 15 years ago but as the pitchers learned to these sluggers by change ot pace and other de vices most ot them had to change their style ot swinging or drop out of fast company Lajoie and a tew others who had the batting in stinct born in them stuck to the lull swing and also to the game Risk of Broken Bones The old style third baseman's chief requisites were the courage to risk a broken finger or a smash ed hand and a strong throwing arm which would enable him to shoot a ball from behind third bas across the diamond ahead ot a run ner It wae almost always neces sary for him to play deep In order to get In front of anything that was not hit straight at him and he had no time to tne rail Instead It was necessary often to stab at It on three quarter bounds or any other way that It happened to come to him This increased the risk to his fingers and shins With the steadily increasing num ber ot batsmen who up" or shortened their swings at the ball by using shorter bats and grasping them several Inches from the end the number of hard hits sent to the third baseman gradually decreased More players learned to chop slow bounders or lay down bunts to ward third and the guardian of that corner had to play nearer the plate In order to cope with this new system It also became necessary to have third basemen who were faster on their feet than the klThere was a time when a 200 pounder who war moderately quick on hie feet and had nerve and a atout wing could shine at third base That time baa passed The Job now requires a man who can come in fast on bunts If necessary and his nerve and throwing arm need not be as strong as in the days when the majority of hi work had to be done from behind third base Instead of In front of it Instinct and

Reach Third Base irst The greater part of the third basaman'a work has to do with the batsman He has less to do with base runners than an other man on tbs infield Until a runner reaches third the baseman there does not have to hold the runner close to the bag Not nearly as many runners reaoh thirt and stop there as there are runners who reach first sod second bases and have to be held up It is when a runner gets to the third corner that the third real troubles commence bnt In the average game that does not happen in every inaing in the majority of Innings somebody gets as tar ha first anyway There is room only to hint at tho finer points of third base play ia which only experience makes a man an adept Ho must know how to much a runner as well as the second baseman or shortstop can
