The tickets to this game are 50 cents. "Pat" Garvin, one of last year's stars and- one of the big factors on this year's eleven, started the season at his old position, left halfback, but owing to ills ability in running a team. Coach Gard later shifted him to quarter. Garvin runs the team with precision, is quick at discovering the opponent's weakness, and is especially clever at the art of out-guessing the opposing team. He Is without doubt the best quarterback In handling kicks and running back punts that the high school has ever had.

"Well, if I had been here." said Mr. Rollo, "I would have thrown him back for a loss.

I would bave smeared him in bis tracks." "What do you mean by that kind of talkT" asked Mrs. Hollo. "I cannot understand any such lingo as that." "Why, mamma," said Little Itollo, "don't you know? In a football game, if a player runs with the ball and the opposing players tackle him and push him back, he ia thrown back for a loss." "Is that so?" asked Mrs. Rollo, "and when and where did you pick up ao much information about the game. If you paid more attention to your studies and less to baseball and football, you would get into the high school quicker.

I hope I am not going to hear football talk for the next month or ao, for I heard enough baseball gossip during the summer and fall. Perhaps It is all right for your father and Uncle George to fool away their time that way when they are at the club, but the supper table is no place for such discussions." "What do you want to have us talk about," said Mr. Rollo. "the latest thing in doylies or the winter models for dolmans or how old a woman must be before she can wear a skirt of bom bazine? Better hunt up some old numbers of Godey'a Lady Book and I will read up on the old junk that Interests you." "Now, Godfrey," aaid Mrs. Rollo, "Just use a little sense for once.

But you know I don't want to have you talk about those things, but I don't care to listen to nothing but baseball and football and I don't think it Is good for Little Rollo to pay so much attention to sports. It was all right for him to go to the games during vacations, but I don't want to have him grow up to be a ninny. Football will not get him anything. He must have some profession." "Great scissors to grind!" exclaimed Mr. Rollo, "what do you Intend to do, make a lawyer or a sawbones out of him? Fine stuff to have a Dr.

"I thought you went over to Princeton," said Mrs. Rollo. "Did you go to the theater instead of going to the football game?" "Why, no." said Mr.

Rollo. "We went to the football game and then we went to the theater, or did we go to the theater first, George?" "You must have been in fine shape," said Mrs. Rollo, "if you don't know which place you went to first." "Of course we went to the football game first," said Uncle George, "and as we missed the early train in the evening, we thought we might as well kill time by taking in Gaby. She wears some beautiful dresses and nightgowns." "For Heaven's sake," said Mrs. Rollo, "what kind of a play is it? Tour story Interests me strangely." "Well, it was mostly in French," said Uncle George, "so we didn't understand much about it, but you don't have to understand French to appreciate the handsome dresses and nightgown." "Where did you stop the night before the gamer" asked Mrs.

Rollo. "I did not see your names in the paper as registered in any hotel." "Well, It was like this," said Uncle George. "We were at the Hotel Aberdeen with the Harvard squad and we heard so much Harvard talk during the night that we imagined we were Harvard men and registered from Cambridge." "Great!" said Mrs. Rollo. "The next time I go down I will imagine I am a cup of tea and register from China." NEW START FOR AMATEURS.

It is quite evident that the women of Windsor are not greatly Interested in the woman's suffrage movement as they are planning for work along other lines for this winter.

There was not a sufficient number of old-time high school players at Elizabeth Park yesterday afternoon to make It Interesting for the high school eleven, so Coach Gard filled out the scrub team with some of the ubs. In fact Charley Klersted was the only representative of the alumni present. The scrubs put up a good stiff defense but the regular never theless ploughed through them at will. Coach Gard gave the squad a tough drilling In signals, paying spe cial attention to the substitutes whom he expects to play against New Britain. Manager Lewis wishes to have It CLAIM FOR BACK SALARIES.

Holyoke and Northampton Player Want Money. New Haven, Nov. 7. It is appar ent that some disposition will be made by the members of the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues of the claim of the Holyoke and Northampton players against the Connecticut League for back salaries due. The association will hold Its annual meeting In San Antonio, November 13 to 18, and John H.

Far- rell, president of the national board and secretary of the association, is preparing a program of business to be taken up by the moguls at this business session. Last night Mike Doherty of this city, who was manager of the Holyoke baseball club at the time the club was dropped from the state league, and the men let out without paying them their back salaries due. received a telegram from Secretary Farrell asking for a list of the players who were with the Holyoke team and the amount of their claims. Secretary carrell also asked where Bill Luhy, who was manager of the Northampton club, could he located. The secretary wants to tuke to the meeting a list of claims from the Individual members of the Holyoke and XNortnampton baseball clubs, and It looks now as If the association may force the state league dlrectorti to pay the players the amount of salary due.

Mike Koherty Bent in his claim to Secretary Farrell some time ago and received a ruling from the national commission. He thought the matter was dead until yesterday when he received the telegram from Secretary Farrell. Several of the ball players who were turned down by the state league directors about the middle of the season, haven't played organized ball since and are patiently waiting for the league to settle the bill.

H-ooking For Good Drop-Kicker and Quarterback. XO OXE AS GOOD AS GARDIXER AT TACKLE. (Special to The Courant) Carcihridge, Not. 7. With Uie undefeated Carlisle Indians Invading- the Stadium next Saturday and with ereral of the Crimson e.even put out of commission from the Princeton game, Coarh J'ercy Hauehton this afternoon began the discouraging task of reconstructing the Harvard footbail tam.

Harvard's chances to zwore a victory over Ya: were great-y shattered by the injuries sustained at I'rlnreton. Gardiner, with a broken arm, is of course hopelessly lost to ths squad. Potter and Campbell were all several battered and bruised, and Gardner, after just recovering from a wrenched ankle, was given a shaking-up that apparently jarred all the football instinct out of him. In the face of these misfortunes the Crimson coaches are now put to ths extremity of shaping the tPim for Its Immediate games. Instead of polishing it oft preparatory to the annual Eli encounter.

Several shifts in th Harvard lineup for next Saturday must inevitably appear. Keyes or Jenckes may flil Gardiner's plane at tackle, or else Captain Fisher wilt be moved out and the newer men played at guard. It will be almost Impossible to And a substitute of equal strength with Gardiner, for ia ths last two games he has displayed form that predicted Ail-Amerlran aeieetlon. Htorer's mediocre work at center Saturday may cause another change. It ia admitted, however, that Storer was under a great handicap in playing against the beat Tiger lineman, Buthe.nthal, As Feiton was sunt to the sidelines with injuries again It is quite certain that will now get first call on right end, especially so as his spectacular work at Princeton stamped him as varsity caliber.

A solution for the quarterback position Is the biggest problem which fares the Harvard eoac-hes. 1'otter is admittedly the man for the Job, but Injuries In two games have practically incapacitated him, Gardner is lacking In coolness and generalship, although continued experience may bring Improvement. Freed iy made a favorable howlng In the fourth quarter against ths Tigers, and many think that In case Bob Potter Is unable to play he will be chosen to run the Crimson against Carlls e. He ran the backs at signal work until dark last evening. The pace was slow as the men were still sore and stiff.

No heavy work was Indulged In by any of the squad. Another difficulty which weakens Harvard for the coming games is the absence of a good kicker to do the booting when Potter and Feiton are out fthe game. Wendell, Pierce and Froth Ingham all had a try at It Saturday but they were consistently out-distanced by the Princeton kicker, Ie-TVitt. Frothlngham is a fair drop kicker, but the most accurate man in this line is WUholland, who is otherwise far from being up to standard and consequently weak ns the team whenever he is put in. Haughton is far from acknowledging defeat by Yale as yet, however.

ith a reconstructed line and some special formations which are tu be whipped into shape this week th team Is expected to make a good showing against the Indians, and barring further accidents the next thre weeks will se continued development looking forward to the game with Yale. Several important changes In the lineup of Harvard's varsity football eleven were noted when the team was put through scrimmage today. Captain Bob Fisher was moved from right guard to right tackle, to fill the gap left by me iujury in si naiuraay to Tudor Gardiner. Captain Fisher's place was taken by Keays. Willetts was tried out at fullback with Huntington.

Practice today was of a simple order. A blackboard talk preceded a light acrimmage. The squad was then taken to the baseball cage where several trick plays were practiced. One of the Harvard coaches said today that It Is the intention of Head Coach Haughton to start a second team In the game with the CarliNle Indians next Saturday. First string players will be called upon if necessary.

SHEVLIN, HUMAN DYNAMO, QUICKENS TEAM TO LIFE Ilia Touch of Magic Gingers I Yale Squad. (Special to The Courant.) New Haven, Nov. 7. Tom Ehevlln, Yale's valiant ex-cap-tain and coach, has come out of the West to make a compact fighting machine out of the Ell eleven. Once the "human dynamo" of the gridiron himself, he stepped off the Limited express today Just In time to speed up the present Yale team at Its afternoon practice.

Brisk and breezy he drilled the players and his touch of magic seemed Just the inspiration needed to quicken the team to new life. Several of his formations were given the players for signal work and will be taught later. lie watched the scrimmaging and expressed himself pleased with the outlook. "We have three weeks more, too," he commented, "and a lot can be done In three weeks." Behind closed gates the varsity were driven through half an hour's practice which yielded three touchdowns and three Foals from the field. Next to the arrival of Tom Shevlln the most cheering event of the day was the return of Jim Scully.

He reported In splendid trim after his outing of five days in the country, donned his uniform and got Into a little scrimmaging during the afternoon.

U. HARTPORD COLLEGIANS PLAY NEW YORKERS TO A TIE. Costly Fumbling Proves Undoing of Fast Local Team. NEW YORK FAILS TO WORK CEL. EBKATED FORWARD PASS.

(Special to The Courant) New York, Nov Although Trinity outplayed New Tork University throughout the game on Ohio Field today, the Hartford players could not score on the locals, and after our penous ot nard football, the game ended In a tie. 0 to 0. Trinity's costly fumbling when she had the bail near the N. Y. U.

goal line cost her dearly and except for this, the Hartford men bhowed better footbail by far. Twice Trinity threatened the opponents" line, once In the second period, and again In the third, but lost ths ball first on a fumble, and then or downs. One of the features of th game was the Trinity defense for the famous New Zork forward pass, which New York worked so successfully against Yale last Saturday. New York did not work the forward pass once, while on th other hand. Trinity managed to complete several good forward passes, the best of them being one froi Cook to Captain Howell for a gain ol thirty yards.

New York's heavy line was too much for the light Trinity team, and most of their gains In the line were mad through t. Howell and John Moore, left tackle and left guard. Another thina that prevented Trinity from shininl was the fact that Cumfort of New Vora made his punts very high anX alwayi for short distances, usually for about fifteen yards. Collett and Cook ol Trinity were always surrounded by op. ponents when they received these kicks, and it was impossible for them to make any of their celebrated gains through an open field.

Hudson played a star game for Trinity. His backing up ol tne line when his team was on the defense was perfect, lie showed great judgment in inlertering for the oilier backs, and carried the ball well, botn on end runs and in line plunging, in the latter especially, he drew gasps from the spectators. Ahem at left end played hia position In his usual star style. Only one gain was made around him, and his all-round work and following of the ball were of star order. Buck Moore and Henneyberger of New York were the bright Ugnts on their team.

Moore was responsible foi must of New York's gains, and seemed to be tireless in carrying the ball. Trinity was represented by a large rooting section of students and alumni, and compared favorably with the large New York section in supporting their team. Between the halves, the New York students hud a snake-dance and sing before the grandstand, In front of the largest crowd of tne season on the home field. Neither Bide had the advantage In the tlrst period, which was featured by a 20-yard run by Muore of New York around the Trinity left end on a fake kick Captain Howell ripped on! a long end run lor twenty-elgiit yards, and Hudson made twenty on another. Only once during the second period did tne play get into Trinity territory, and tnat was when rionney-berger recovered one of Cumforts punts on the Trinity 40-yard line.

New York could not gain, however, and kicked to Collett on the 25-yard line. A forward pass. Cook to Howell, was worth thirty yards, and Cook made an on-side kick, which was recovered by Elirte of New Y'ork on his own 5-yard line. New York was thrown back for a loss of four yards, putting the hall almost on her goal line. Ellife kicked out from behind the line, but Collett fumbled the ball, which was recovered by Vesley of New York.

New York failed to gain again, and kicked out to Collett on the 16-yard line. Hudson fumbled and Mackay of New York recovered the ball. The half ended with the ball at this point. Trinity's best chance for a score came In the third period. The ball see-sawed In the middle of the field for a few minutes, and then lawlor of Trinity recovered one of Cook best onBide kicks on the New York 8-yard line.

Trinity was penalized fifteen yards for pushing. Ahern made five yards and Hudson ten. Howeli went around end for four yards, and New York got the ball on downs. Cum-fort punted out again, and Trinity got the bail on New York's 15-yard line. Collett made five yards and Hudson three, but New York held, and got the ball on downs.

The ball was Trinity on New York's 40-yard line at the end of the period. Trinity had a chance to try a kick from placement In this period, and Cook gave the signal for the play, but after a conference, It was decided to rush the ball, spoiling Trinity best chance to WTrinIty did not use a substitute throughout the game, while New ork used several.

Xew York, Nov. 7.

The shades of the old Dutch burghers of seventeenth century Near Amsterdam are due to be called back to the Battery again by the clashing of ninepins. New York city is going to have a real bowling green once more. The revival of "the ancient game of bowls" is going to be due to the activity of Park Commissioner Stover, and the green 1 going to be hard by where the old Dutch founders of this rolled their bowls, smoked their long-stemmed pipes and quaffed their beer. Mr. Stover isn't going to have the fountain now decorating the actual site of the I old bowling green torn away and the new green put right on top of the old.

He Is going to set aside a portion of the athletic Be that Is to be laid out in Battery Park for that purpose. There Is to be a green 120 feet square, upon which the citizens of New York may roll their lignum vltae balls under the open skies Instead of under a roof, and In the open air Instead of in an atmosphere of tobacco smoke But Just now Mr. Ktover Is In a quandary as to exactly what sort of a game he must revive to be historically correct. The Dutchmen were the first to play the game here, but Mr. Stover says that he has It on very good authority that the name Bowling i.reen was not applied to the locality until 1732.

in English times. And the Dutch and English games are very different. The Dutchmen rolled at ninepins, while the Eng ishmen rolled at a "Jack" or center pin. To be absolutely sure or get ling It right, Mr. Stnver says, he Is going to provide for the rejuvenating of both games.

The ground that is to be laid out Is to be absolutely sclentldc." said Mr. Stover. "The bed on which the bowling turf is to be set must be prepared first with broken stone, then with ashes, and then with the snll on which the grass Is set. A gutter must be run round the whole green, then. This green will be so big that thera will bo room for both forms of the game.

I am consulting eminent historical authorities to find out which game really was m.i mayea on Manhattan Island. Edwin A. Abbey, In his stained glass window which Is In the Bowling Green building, represents the Dutchmen as rolling at ninepins. A very reliable authority Informs me. however, that the name of Bowling Green was given to that bit of sward In 1732.

which was. If I mistake not, the birth year of Washington. To be sure to get things right it would probably bs best to revive both games." The bowling green Is to be constructed within the circle of a running track which Is to measure one-ninth of a mile. Besides the running track and the bowling green the athletic field Is to include an outdoor gymnasium undor the elevated structure The layout Is to be made on one of the grass plots near the Barge office. Mr mover ssys that he has the money necessary to do the work and that he will proceed td make the change right away In speaklng of the revival of bowling on the green Mr.

Stover seemed to be slightly uncertain as to what the cost of the whole athletic field would be. "I am told on very competent authority." he said that a bowling green can be constructed for from I1.J00 to 11,800. That will make a green that will last." Mr. mover did not allow the history of of nln'P'ns to cause him to fear that his green might be Injurious to the mora of the youth of Manhattan. Both the Dutch and Kngllsh games have been IL X'.
