GENERAL SPORTING NEW A new end showed up at the Yale prac tice yesterday afternoon at New Haver Cc.nn.. in the person of 'Benham, a frest man, whose work was of a first-class ordei Benham has been playing irregularly as sub on the freshman team, but was give a chance Saturday against the Worceste High School. His work was so excellen that he was called out by McBride for tr.al yesterday, and he carried off the hor ors of the hard two halves that wer played. Benham is evidently a coming end He is very small, smaller than Wear, bu he Is quick as lightning and a sure tackler just such another man as Palmer of Prince ton. He slid around between the 'varsitQ backs like an eel and nailed his man most every time.

He was In every play an was complimented on the field by th, coaches. The 'varsity lined up yesterday as in th beginning of the Columbia game, but minu: Sheldon and Stillman. Bloomer played It the latter's place and Richardson in Shel don's. Sharpe and Cook, who have been re garded all along as sure half backs, up so poorly in Saturday's game that the! e.me near being disciplined for a week They were given a curtain lecture and sen into the game, and both men worked hard Sharpe gained more ground yesterday thai thus far this season. Cook made a thirty yard run around right end for a touchdown and Sharpe made another touchdown on li plunges.

Harvard May Break With Pen'nsy. Harvgrd's last week of practice befor the game with the University of Pennsyl vania began yesterday on the Cambridg, oval with a game between the 'varsity the scrub, in which the former scored touchdowns. Ellis was not out. His ankle is improv Ing, however, and his leg was taken ou o' splints yesterday. Kendall is still laid ui from the effects of the Indian game, Kernan is out of condition and did no dress for practice.

Sawin, whose knee ha driven him to crutches for the past tw4 weeks, was out yesterday, looking well, bu took part only in signal practice. "I have nothing to say," replied Prof Ira N. Hollis, chairman of Harvard's ath letic committee, when asked If he had sen a letter of mild protest to Pennsylvanh against the playing of McCracken, Penn sylvania's big full back, in the game be tween Harvard and the red and blue Satur day. Although it was learned from sources authority that Harvard's athletic commit tee has sent such a letter, and that Penn sylvania's answer to it has been received it is understood that Harvard sent a re ply to Pennsylvania's letter, and althougl no official Information will be given out, be cause such action would be deemed discour teous before Pennsylvania receives the re ply, a shrewd guess would not go far -wrons in concluding that Harvard has sent a fina note to Pennsylvania, still further enforcinj Its objections to McCracken's playing it Saturday's game. If McCracken is played ir Saturday's game, despite Harvard's protest it may lead to a disruption In athleti( relations between the two universities.

Standing by MeCsacken. The University of Pennsylvania foot bal committee held a special meeting yester. day to consider the protest made by Har. vard against J. C.

McCracken, the red ani blue's crack player. taking part in nexi Saturday's game. The Harvard foot bal authorities claim that this is McCrack.n' lifth year on the Pennsylvania team in thal he played for a short time in the Franklir and Marshall game in 1896, thus violating the four years' rule. 'Ihe Pennsylvania authorities declined tc say what action they took at the meeting except to say that a reply to the protest has been sent to Cambridge. One of 1h( members; of the committee said that Pennsylvania can find no reason why McCrack.

should not play next Saturday. and thai nnsylvania will probably insist that he shall line up for the contest. The commit. te refused' to give out the correspondence. Tigers Hard at Work.

After the Tigers had been put through a sprinting exercise by Trainer "Jim" Robinson on the Princeton oval yesterday, the 'varsity team was put through fast signal practice, including formations for end runs center plays and drop kicking. Then tht serub team and the freshman eleven werE lined up for a lively game. The pace set by the scrub was fast and furious, but the freshmen played a steady, game, and held the scrub team down to two touchdowns and a goal frorr field. Humbird made a sensational run of nearly 100) yards. The students are beginning to expect Hvmbird to score at least one touchdowr a day by a sensational run.

He hurdlet over tackles while they are in an almost upright position, and seems able to make track tIme on a broken field. Munroe, the 300-pound center rush of the freshmeri ieam, despite his tremendous bulk, Is learn. log the game. Georgetown to Play Richmond College. The Georgetown University foot ball eleven will meet the strong eleven of Richmond College on Georgetown Field tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.

This game marks the real opening of Georgetown'i foot ball campaign. One or two gamet will follow each week until the close aj the foot ball season, Since the game wit. the r.aval cadets the Georgetown boyt have been compelled to rely upon the scrubs for practice games on account of t.e cancellation of games by out-of-town op. ponents. Coach Bull, however, Is perfectly satisfied with the progress made by hit men.since the Annapolis game expects them to make a much stronger fight tomorrow than was put up against the naval cadets, All of the regular men are now in good shape.

Boulay was In the game yesterday for the first time since the game with the naval cadets, in which he was disabled. The team will probably line' up tomorrow wIth Mackay, center; Kerna and Boulay, guards; Lynch and Russell, tackles; Hirst and Finnegan, ends; Buck' ley, quarter back; Devlin, full back andl captain; Barry and Seitz, half backs. Coacli Bull and Acting Captain Devlin journeyedl up to the Pennsglvania-Chicago game at Pht'iladelphia on Saturday last. Tnat DJevlIn picked up a point or two was evidenced by the manner in which he worked hit men yesterday afternoon against what wat probably the strongest scrub team yet lin-d up against the 'varsity eleven. The enthusiasm of the students is gradually lielng aroused and the work of the men it being watched with increasing interest from day to day.

The Richmond College eleven, who are to be Georgetown's opponents tomorrow, have played several hard games this year, and proved themselves a strong team. They are being coached by "Ed" Kenna, Georgetown's ('rack full back of two years ago. He has his men playing a fast game, and promises to give his old alma mater a hard fight, The game will be called at 4 o'clock. Olympias Defeat Gonsaga. The Olympia Athletic Club foot bail eleven defeated the Gonzaga College eleven yesterday afternoon, at Lincoln Park, by the score of 6 to 0.

Two weeks ago the collegians captured a game over this team, and yesterday's victory for the Olymplas rnakes the record a tie. The Gonzaga boys were doing unusually well yesterday until Half Back Giancy, a brilliant player, was injured and had to retire from the game, I His substitute, Huck, is a clever player, -but not in the same class with Glancy, and a result the college boys lout heart and went to pieces.
