The choice lies between McCormlck, Uartwell and Rhode.

"Vance C. McCormlck, last year's captain, bas been effective because ne is always pleasant and tells the players just the right thing to da He is the greatest Interferer Yale ever bad and has been the prime factor in developing this point of Yale's play this year. McCormlck made a star record at Andover academy before coming to Yale. On entering here he captained bis freshman football and baseball class teams and next year played fullback on the varsity eleven. Upon his election the captaincy last year he moved up to quarterback and brought out a championship team.

During the two years he played on the Yale eleven it was not scored against "Josh" Uartwell graduated from Yale in 1888, but made a great reputation as a postgraduate. Not till bis senior year in college' did his career promise anything brilliant athletically. Then be was a substitute on the 'varsity eight and at the last moment was calied upon to take the place ot Capt. Stevenson In ths boat which ieft Harvard lengths behind and established Yale's and an American record for a four-mile race, The next year be made a successful end rush on "Pa" Corbln's football team, which finished the season without being scored against and made 60S points. He played end rush the next year, and in 18U2 was called upon to accept the captaincy of the 'varsity crew.

His eight won from Harvard by 13 lengths, and Uartwell graduated with one of the most glorious athletic records ever made by a Yale man. He is one of the most patrloilc alumni of Yale, and bas made Innumerable sacrifices for ner sake His scholarship is, with one or two exceptions, the highest of any student who ever graduated from the Yale medical school.

A football team advances the ball In two different ways. Either it is kicked or carried forward by a run. A kick explains itself. Kuns are made either by individual players, who are assisted by the Interference of the rest of their side, or by the whole side advancing together. Individual runners are most frequently the backs, who are specially trained for that purpose, less frequently linemen, when tackles and ends, and least frequently linemen when guards.

The center rusher can only run with the ball by obtaining It on a fluke after it has been put In play, as his own function Is to snap It back. Now runs with the bull are necessarily made either through openings in the line or around the ends, and all runners, backs or linemen attack the opposing rush line and trv to break throiizli holes made bv their over not getting the extra two points. 1 The Great Championship Football They went back to mldfield with more confidence than they could use, but what they lime Next Thursday.

To do this It was necessary to caucol two games, one with P. A. on Thanksgiving day, and another with State College on December 2. Lehlgh'B team has performed splendidly this year, and it is a pity it will not be seen hero. Casper W.

Whitney has this to say of the eleven: "Never In Lehigh's football history has her claims for membership in the football association been so worthy of consideration. She has always turned out good elevens and her progress has really been consistent, but tills year, with the excellent coaching of Uartwei last year as a starter, and the finishing work of Graves this year, Lehigh has played good football, the best she has ever shown. She won from Cornell, West Point and Annapolis, but what is more to her credit she scored on Princeton and University of Pennsylvania. If there Is to be an association it looks as if Lehigh and Cornell should be taken in, although Cornell's location makes her membership almost impracticable. As soon as Manager Barbour, of the A.

C. received the telegraph announcing that Lehigh would not be here next Thursday he began hustling for another strong team to take its place. He wired State college and Lafayette without having much hope of being able to secure one of the big attractions, but just before yesterday's game with Geneva he received a message from State college accepting his proposition. He was well satisfied with the result, for State college has many friends at this end of the state, and the game Is sure to be a lively one. The college team Is a strong one and P.

A. C. will have to play hard to make a good showing, but the teams are better matched than Lehigh and P. A. O.

would have been. As tho gamo at P. A. C. park will be the only one in this vicinity on Thanksgiving day, It is likely to be witnessed by a record-breaking crowd.

Manager Barbour has not decided upon tho makeup of his team, and will not until the men show up for practice on Monday. State College will likely line up as follows: Harris, loft end; Dunsmore, loft tackle; Fisher, left guard; Hoskins, center; Dowler, right guard; W. Dunsmore, right tackle: White, right end; McCaskey, quarterback; Atherton, left half back: Haley, right halfback; Stewart, fullback. Hundreds will go to the for the sole purpose of witnessing tho play of Fisher, State College's big guard. Ho much has been written about his work this year that tho local experts will not lose the opportunity of seeing it for themselves.

HIJiKEY, OF TALB. From New York a stream of blue poured north coldly; from Boston a flood of tiery crimson and the two were bound to meet In collision. Should the cold blue extinguish the red, or should the lava-llko current consume the At Springfield they were masked and piled like pyramids one opposite the other, like avalanches ready to swoop down, when at 2:10 p. u. the Yalo eleven In white vests and breeches, with blue sleeves and stockinss, bounded into the trysting place from the northwest corner and commenced to gambol and rull and tumble over the ball for warming exercise, like young bear cubs playing with a skull, Shortly afterward the llarvards trotted Into the arena In crimson sleeves and stockings and with yellow canvas vest and breeches like sailors' oil skins.

The Yale pyramid that banked the west side of the field Huttored their colors but not too demonstratively: the Harvard siuo was quivering with emotion that could not remain silent. Harvard was confident of wlnnlun the day and from the first was most demonstrative and continued so till the end of the Urst half. Harvard had the ball to begin with, a good omen, and made such good use of it that one down after another tt.ey drove It down to (he 10-yard line with great gallantry. They seemed bound to score when their triumphant progress was arrested. Yalo got the ball on downs and Butterwnrth's putit aent It back to starting point, where another close quarter stiuciilo commenced.

All through the first half Harvard worked the flying wedce with remarkable success, and their scoring was only prevented by Butter-worth's punting. At the end of the first half the Harvard partisans were wild with enthusiasm and hope, for no score was all they asked. But when Yale came to the center at the beginning of the second half with the ball, the condition seemed changed. Yale staked everything on her irresistible center rush, which nothing In this country seems able to withstand. It crushed through all opposition and in 10 minutes the touchdown was followed by a kick over, and the fate of the dav was decided.

Whenever Harvard got the hall In the end half the Hying wedge, which had been effective In the tirst half, was futile. It wentup against a solid wall that was impregnable. A couple of good dashes to right and left and one timely punt kept the score down to 6, hut Harvard could not win. It looked as if Yale had designed only to keeo Harvard from scoring in the first half to measure Harvard's strength and watch her tactics, reservinn her own strength for the last half, and thero it was developed to an astonishing degree. To-night Boston is In sackcloth and ashes and New York is no doubt In a state of jubilation, for it should be understood New York is the great backer of Yale as Boston Is of Harvard.

Last year Harvard and Boston were doubtful This year they were conhdentof success, for which reason Boston refuses to be comforted. New York is again on top and will probably jibe at Philadelphia Thanksgiving night as she does at Boston to-night, for Philadelphia is a Princeton stronghold, even more, perhaps, than she is the citadel of theU.P. s. Vale lias always been famous for its musical talent, and while waiting for the team to make Its appearance the songsters tuned up in grrat style. The new song, "Uown With Hip Crimson Forever," to the tune of "Marching Through Georgia" was the featured the day, and as everyone knew the melody of the refrain it swelled out in a grand chorus all the way down the field.

They had a good chaiice to do this when Gov. AJcKinley. of Uhlo, came in with Mrs Mckinley. The crowd got up on the benches Htid waved hats and flags as the famous major passed down the line of Harvard benches to the seats reserved fur him next to Massachusetts' governor. He was accompanied by ex-Lieut.

-Gov. Haile, and Lieut -Gov Wolcott, of Ya'e's turn came when ex-tiov. Morgan G. Eulkeley and the present Gov. Morris, of Connecticut, came and were escorted to scuts of honor on the Vale side of the field.

Almost as soon a the ball as put in play Brewer had yards, and the Crimson thousands went wild. The ball was quickly passed to Waters who made one yard through Beard. Adee was hit'on the head In tuefccriminage, and the game was, therefore, delayed for a few moments. Harvard then tried the flying wedge and made two yard mure through Beard. Waters carrying the ball.

Again Harvard tried the same trick, and Wnghtiugton was downed in his tracks. Harvard then tried a flying wedce, but failing to gain her distance the ball went to Yale on four downs. Yale immediately kicked lhe ball, taking advantage of the strong wind. It went on a bound to Waters, who fumbled it. Harvard at once tried a ma- pn Beard, but did not gain an inch.

'J lie game had not progressed 10 minutes from th call of play In he first barf wnen it became apparent to the close observer that Vale had the game if she only played her best football The Hying plays of the crimson team were stopped with alarming Wi-ularity by the Vale forwards. Tue play oi the Harvard team was glow in lhe extreme, and when their tricks Jailed tboy seemed to lose heart But the Due defensive play of the Yale team did not last loiK. When the half was over ttieir olavlng bei-iime l'zgy, and thK addedUo a few fumble by Adee and ibe Yale basks, gave the hrfrvHiii men courage. Then their tricky fling play worked much better, the backs Almost a paradox Tiiouoii Instances be tew, That the football loss was crimson, While tho winners wore quite blue. President Yocno will make out tho league schedule on last year' lines.

Thb Washington club bus exchanged Outfielder Hoy for Pitcher MtVe Sullivan, of Cluclunutl. Emslie, Lynch and McQuado are three likely to be called to the league staff of baseball umpires Dave Foutz says tho abolition or modification of the bunt will usher in far more scientific place batting. Davk Foutz will succeed Dan Brouthers at first base for Brooklyn. Big Dan may be found with Louisville. According to an Omaha paper "White Wings" Tebeau Is figuring on playing with Washington next season.

Budu Doble says tho winnings of his stable this season amount to 850, 522. 33. Not a very bud showing for trotters It Is within the range ot possibilities that Boston may exchange Pitcher Stlvetta for Catcher Morgan Murphy, or Cincinnati. Tub New York club may try to secure Burkett, of Cleveland, and of the same club, has asked Ward to get his release. Manager Bancroft has given up the six-day pedestrian match at Cincinnati on account of his Inability to secure a building to hold the event in.

A meeting of the wheeling clubs of New York, Brooklyn and Now Jersey will soon bo called by the" Kings couuty wheelmen, for the purpose of organizing a road record association, the object being to give authenticity to records. Mouoan Muupuy Is one of many catchers who advocate a rule requiring umpires to stand behind the plate all the tlmo. The claim is made that while they aro behind the pitcher they cannot tell a light foul tip from a strike and vice versa. Second Baseman Hai.lman, of Philadelphia, has publicly stated that ho doesn't want to play In tho Quaker city any longer, but wants to locate in Pittsburg. It is among the probabilities that Haliman and Bier-bauer may be exchanged.

The news is from the cast, but there is a valuable western "tip" embraced In the same. Dauvray Ward started on her the-utricul career as "Little Noll, the California Diamond." It was, therefore, quite appropriate that she should become in lato years "the lieroino of the diamond" by marrying John M.

Ward, tho chief of tho brotherhood. The New York Sjiord'ng Lift says: "Ex-President Nimick, of Pittsburg, was In New York during the league meeting and dropped in at the Fifth Avenue hotel to renew old friendships When asked whether lie would like to bo in the swim a.

New York came within 15 minutes of getting Gilbert, the springtield third baseman Just after President Uyrnehad handed Nick Young a check for $500 for Gilbert's release Manager Ward came up with asimilarcheck, but Young said Brooklyn was entitled to the player's services. ANXtors "Does Pittsburg Phil ever lose?" Certuinly.

Ho backed Para-sang last Wednesday, both ways, but the filly was among the "not heard ofs." "Phil's" winnings in certain sporting columns are regularly phenomenal, llu losses are seldom mentioned.
