running than line plung.ng. 'ihe open
fleid running of all iheae proved a b.g
factor in tha Harvard, Dartmouth and
Yale games.
In tha matter of defense the Princeton
backs lack the atrcngth displayed by tho
New Hevenltes. Ilellly, Anderson, Fiee
man. Camp and Spalding are ail corking
. defensive backs. Keilly perhaps la the
greatest defensive back In the country.
Vaughan'a work In the Harvard anu
Dartmouth games In backing up his line
called much pralae from the PrtncUo.i
coaches, but DeVYItt, Bawyor and Pen
dleton all showed a tendency to bo
"sucked In" by tha opposing backs, es
pecially on the delayed passes aa worked
on them by tha big Dartmouth team.
Several Good Klckere.

man In tha east, and his splrwia are haru

didn't give this young man much of k
tumble, but once he waa put In aa a reg
ular, his hoists saved Tha 'ilgera in botn
the Harvard and Dartmouth games,
Baker, Pendleton and Chryatla have
proven corking gaud field goal kiokers.
For Tale Captain Howa and Walter
Camp, jr., have been called on to upnoiu
thla department of the game and have
made good. Hows la a very eonaialetu
kicker, who la good for forty or forty'
five yards at any time. He can g.su
hold his own with any man In the eaei
at drop kicking.
Camp can get better distance than his
captain, but la not anywhere near as ac
curate or ao fast lit getting the ball off.
It he could only overcome his fault to
rush mattera he would be even belter
than DeWItt and Howe.
Both Tale and Princeton have shown
crack ends. It la a tossup which has
the better wing men. In Domclsler Tale
lias an end that haa displayed wonderfu
form In all departments. He weighs lot
pounds, la over six feet tall and haa a
whirl of speed In getting down the grid
Iron , under ho! its. Avery, his running
male, while nor equal to Bomelsler, la
above the average. He has one fault
that needs correcting badly; be doesn't
follow the ball aa well as ends should.
On the defense at times he haa allowed
the man 'with the ball to get outside of
fclm, tea .
Avery has another fault, also, and that
Is his eagerness to got In and smash the
play berore It hss fairly atarted. This
has proven very costly at times this fan.
But It shows that he has the fighting
spirit and he can be schooled.
Dunlap, the Tigers' wing man, aluo hat
the same fault. lie la a hard man to
circle, but he la ever-nnxloua at times.
Opposite Dunlap, Princeton has White,
whose great work In the Harvard and
Dartmouth contests has practically as
sured him of a position on Walter Camp's
All-American team. This player follows
the ball at all times, as an end should,
and baa been boxed but few times this
season. He Is an eleven-second man and
covers bis kicker's hoists perfectly.
Llae Meat Gao4, Too.
While comparing the Yale and Prince
ton men behind Ibe Hue It might be well
to apeak of their beat forwards. Cap
tain Hart of the Tigers has developed
Into the beat . tackle In the country.
Coach Hopcr should have placed him In
the line long before this season. While
he was a good back, he was not playing
hla proper position. Tackle Is his right
berth.
Harvard, Dartmouth and Yale all f ound
him the hardest playing tackle they
faced all year. He Is a fast, sure and
hard churgcr and raised havoo with the
opposition in the three big battles. The
big captain's ability to check his man
on punts and then get down the field la
remarkable.
In Bcully, Yale has a bear tackle, also.
Paul was the alar of the New lUven
oumoinauon last fall, but lie lias not
come up to the same form this season.
Hcully, however, has shown big Improve
ment. He Is a player of the same style
s Hart He is a charger who la Maying
Just as hard at the final whittle as he .a
ai tne opening of the first period. He
possesses one aaaet that no other tackle
In the east can boast of. That la
ability to charge an opponent and, going
through, pick out a man In the secondary
tieteiuMi.
At guards and center Yale has shout
me most iinuneu trio in the country n
MeDevltt, Francis and Ketehum. Francis
Is a charger who never falls to let into
the opponent's territory. He Is juUk to

as tho culling up of the game Into four

game as a whole this season, as the
coaches and men had been given a full

witness a further advance along the line
of scientific foot ball.
One thing to be noted with pleasure Is
the rise of the smaller colleges In the foot

BAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25. Agitation
against the boxing game haa arisen In
Australia. Parenthetically, It might , be
explained, there is always a demonstra
tion of some sort from the opponents of
pugilism when tfhythtng prelentioua lu
the way of a ling event looms up at the
Antipodes.
The trouble blows away, aa a rule, like
the sinuho of a wood fire, and It may be
that the present disturbance la merely a
tanuoJ whiff of remonstrance at what
someone haa dubbed "the sport of men."
In the present caue the affected area is
Wider than usual. The opening gun was
fired In the city of Melbourne when Ivev.
C. tipuir. pastor of a Baptist church,
approached Dr. Wright, primate of Aus
tralia, "with a view of lnstltutmg a move
ment for the auppresaloa of prise fighting

In denuding hla position. Rev. Mr. 6purr
said:
"My prime object is to brlug pressure

to preventing the I.ght between Johnson
and McVea, which la to take place at the
Madlum, l.uchcuiter s Bay, and In fact,
to place an cmoaigo on all boxing con-

Mack Has System
: in Using Boxmen
.PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25,-Most man.
agers work their pitchers In turn, but
Connie Mack of the champion White
Elephants duean't. Mack's system is to
select the pitchers who are the moat sue
cessrul against certain clubs. With the
advent of Harry Davis as manager of the
(.'leveiaml .Blues it Is believed that the
Cleveland team next year will undergo i
change In 1U system of utilising box
men. Both McOulre and Stovail, former
Blue leaders, If their slabmen were in
form, worked them every fifth day, but
since Davis Is a graduate of the Mack
school it is thought that the new leader
will pattern his methods after Mack's.
Connie switched his pitchers so that each
man did his best work against three or
four clubs.
Oy Morgan was saved for the Naps,
Washington and St. Louis. He started
thirty gsmes and twenty of them weie
against these cluba. The task for Plank
was to beat Boston. Of the twenty-eight
names ho twirled even were against the
i ted rtox, who found it hard to beat
nouthpaws. He waa also saved fur tit.

hssfbark for Yale, and young Baker held
down a similar Job for Princeton. It was
thirty years before, on November II,
1SS1, when the fathers of these youths
fought for the Tlg.-r and Bulldog respec
tively in one of the most memorable bat
tles of all. It wound up with honors)
even, neither side being able to score,
which waa due In large measure to the
work of Camp and Baker for their le
spective teams. Each of the younger
generation a week ago showed himself to
be "a chip off the old block" and the
Jolly thing about It was that their vener
able "daddUa" were up there In the
stands, with the rooting contingents of
their alma malers, "howling their heads
off" at the vallnnt efforts yf their
progeny.
What we regard as the most commend
able exhibition of true sportsmanship
that has ever come under our observa
tion la seen In an article that appeared
In the "Dally Prlncetonlan." official or
gan of the undergraduate bfdy of the
Tiger university, In the Issue lmmdlately
after the Princeton-Dartmouth game. It
will bo recalled that Princeton won the
game on a drop-kick that struck the
ground and then bounded over the goal.
It snys:
"With all due credit to the Princeton
team, we cannot say that we deserved to
win. Although Dartmouth was not better
enough to warrant their winning, they
certainly did not deserve to have the
game go against them. And when defeat
waa administered by means of a play
that waa little short of weird, it eeema al
most ; the height of injustice. Anyone
who witnessed the game could not fall
to have been Impressed by the sports
manlike attitude with which Dartmouth
accepted the. ruling of the officials and
with It a defeat which they had no reason
to expect."
The Princeton student who wrote that
exhibits Just auch sportsmanship aa did
the Dartmouth team. More power to him
and we wish there were more like him.

Anion aa to Kalr
eaa. NEW YORK, Nov. 2S. With the receipt
of the program of rules which are to
govern the Olympic sports at Stockholm.
Sweden, next year, the fact which imme
diately confronts the close observer of
such regulations Is that they appear par
ticularly restrictive and not at all founded
on the lines whereby "past performances"
have been made the Incentive for dupli
cation or betterment.
James E. Sullivan, rccretary of the
American Olympic committee, recently
received from KilMlan Hellstrom, secre
tary of the Swedish Olympic committee,
a list of what la called the final program
of rules, which the executive committee
of the American Olympic committee will
make careful Inquiry Into, aa there are
many parts which seem to require ex
planation and interpretation.
It Is conceded that It will be absolutely
necessary ;to have many of the rules
more clearly defined before the American
team sails. '
That American athletes will be ham
pered to no Inconsiderable tlf-gree by the
proposed Ideas In relation to the starting
of foot races, the conditions governing
the weight throwing, shot putting, and
Jumping is the Idea of all who ore
closely identified with track and field
sports, and who feel that the rules In re
lation to these games ore at direct vari
ance with common athletic custom and
opposed to the rules which hold In this
country, which were thought to be gen
erally employed."
In regard to the starting, after stating
that the start would be effected. by the
report of a pistol shot, 'the rule says
that no competitor shall touch the ground
in front of the scratch line with . any
part of his body, with- no mention made
as to penalty for false breaks. i '
Local devotees assert that If there Is
to be no penalty when a runner attempts
to anticipate the "gun," a premium Is
put on foot-racing unsporUmanshlp, with
the result that the luckiest and most
audacious violator of rules will profit.
This Is a rule which obtains In England,
but, strangely enough, only In scratch
and championship contests, penalties be
ing Imposed In handicap contests only.
The walkers will be subject to disquali
fication without any previous caution
aa to falrnefcs, which eeems another arbi
trary rule, and opposed to all other ays
terns, which provide for two cautions,
and then disqualification for the third
offense in the case of unfair walking.
In the running high Jump a competitor
may start at any height after five feet,
three Inches, but, havlnjr started, he
must continue at every height selected
by the Judges. This differs somewhat
from moat other rules in that a man in
this country can Daaa anv h.ih, v.
,ir
chooses, but can not, having failed, go
oacK to tne height passed.
Indoor Champions
to Be Considered
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-That there mnv
be'a great deal of opposition by the col
leges to the system of choosing repre
sentatives for the Olympic games Is ap
parent by the announcement bv tht
American Athletic union that winners ol
the Indoor titles will be given great con
federation In the selection of the team
which will represent America at Stock
holm next summer. While some of the
athletes In the eastern and possibly the
middle western Institutions will be rep

college track stars will be so anxious to
get home for their short vacation that
they will not be able to compete, v
There are some colleges in the west
that have good candidates for positions
on the team, and naturally these are anx

possible, and thus add more glory to the

The cold weather flae is an
to Catarrh sufferers. These persons know that with the return of
Winter the disease will be more intense and their suffering greatly
increased. During the warm season the symptoms of Catarrh may
have been milder because some of the impurities in the blood were
constantly passing out of the system through the perspiration. At
that time the pores were open and it was nature's favored opportunity
to rid the system of as great amount as possible of all germs, impurities
and morbid matters. Cold weather returning, partially closes the
pores and checks perspiration, then as a natural result Catarrh
grows worse.
Every symptom of Catarrh indicates impure blood. First there is
irritated and inflamed mucous membranes of the head, nose and throat,
from which there is a constant discharge of watery matter. This
comes from inflammation of those members, and is caused by catarrhal
matters in the circulation. Nature intends that these mucous surfaces
shall all be nourished by the blood, and as long as the circulation is
pure, this necessary work is satisfactorily performed, but catarrhal
impurities deposited into these delicate parts sets up inflammation, and
the discharge is a natural result. When this secretion begins to dry il
grows thicker and becomes sticky, then it adheres to the throat and
upper back portion of the mouth, causing an annoying straining and
coughing to loosen it. Other ordinary symptoms of Catarrh are

trace of foreign matter or catarrhal impurity. In other words S. S. S.
cures Catarrh by purifying the blood so that the mucous surfaces and
linings of the body are supplied with healthy blood instead of being
constantly diseased from the absorption of catarrhal impurities. Then
the inflamed membranes heal, the discharge is checked, head noises
cease, the stomach is benefited, the throat is cleared up, and every mis
erable symptom of Catarrh is corrected. There is but one way to
cure Catarrh purify the blood, and S. S. S. is the best of all blood
purifiers. Write for our special book on Catarrh, and learn of what
we consider the only safe and certain way to be cured. No charge for
