The Tale team of 1919 will be men- - r.ed In the football books as a de- - Wed team. It will also be remem- - red as a powerful team and a fight- - 4f team, and must therefore bo classed V u in 'unlucky' team. In tho Princeton. ai Harvard games of 1919 there Is ttthlag about which any Yale man put, present or future need ever feel uhimtd. Again, let us quit the arena strthtag; there will be other years.\ Tim Callahan, the Yale captain, In an Stirvltw this evening, said that his Ha lost the Harvard game because of tables and lack of confldenco that fol- - 'I don't want to bo quoted as saying kltre was anything wrong with the Si tit -- HI xKctchtag system as put Into effect by s(BDr. Sharpe,\ he said. \It does not look (AriU for the team to rap coaches; that \ flr,t thlnK everybody does after i'slVi Tale defeat xtt to- H :il 3 Famblea Lost Game. The reason we lost the trams was largely on account of our fumbles and tfcl lack of confldenco they caused. Wlea we carried the ball to Harvard's rai yard line we did not try a play itbssgh centre, as has been commonly ;tid. but between guard and tackle. It '4 ridiculous also to say that Yale lost tame she stuck to old style football. Ktrfard did the same thing. Princeton the only big team that used open JT extensively.

In case massed Or I of formations don't work ODen nlay can resorted to. Prlncetpn stuck to the a variety. There were a lot of ru- - sors around before and after the game. vte was that Harvard had found out d the Yale signals before the game. Ills Is ridiculous, as most of the others m.

They do not want b forget this season's football record : r want to know hy Yale did not W4ce a victorious team. Those who Bow football put It squvely up to the aching.

With the full regtmont of cadets In the stands singing Navy \defies\ to the accompani- ment ofhe military academy band, the Army eleven resumed Its gridiron prao-- tlco this afternoon. There was no letup to the rought work. The big team got twenty minutes of heavy scrimmaging with the scrubs. There were two touchdowns, Schabacker getting one and Dodd tho other. Dodd was In for McQuarrle at naunac wneu the last touchdown was made. The scrubs pounded the weak spot in the varsity line, where Vogel Is ploying, and got through on several occasions, but the varsity's secondary defence, with Gregory starring, stopped tho runners effectively. Once the second team carried the ball on lino bucking plays to the varsity's 15 yard llns, only to lose It on downs. Bowman, for the scrubs, essayed a place kick Inside the 20 yard mark, but the big guard on the left aide of the line, broke through and blocked the try.

NAVY HOLDS FINAL SCRIMMAGE DRILL Confidence in Annapolis Team Grows as Date for Army Game Draws Near. Sptctal DnpateS to Tns Bus. Annapolis, Md., Nov. J4. Interest In the Army-Nav- y football game on the Polo Grounds next Saturday excludes at- tention of everything else In the Naval Academy. The Interest Is more Intense than usual owing to the lapse of two years. There haa. been an unmistakable growth of confidence In tho Navy team during the last few days, and It is be- lieved that Its chances of victory are at least even. Though practice has been as light as possible. It Is understood that tho team Is getting Into Its best form. The last scrimmage of the season was held this afternoon, the rest of the prac- tice being limited to signals, formation drills and work of that character. Kehler, Clark and Cruise certainly will start In the Navy, back field against the Army, and It looks as if watters has a slight edge over Benolt for the other place. Watters, Layter, Rawllngs and Haase are high up on the list of substitutes. Dobte will have four men specially trained for each back Held position and not fewer than three for each other po- sition. The team will have Its last pract- ice) here on Thanksgiving morning and will leave for New York 'Over the Penn- sylvania Railroad at S '.40 o'clock In the afternoon. It Is booked to arrive In New York shortly after 8 and the mem- bers will go at once to the Hotel Com- modore, which will be New York head- quarters. - The Polo Grounds will be used for practice the next day Others with the football party will be Lieutenant-Command- Richardson, Boynton and Wright, Ensign Bill Ingram, Whelchel, Duller and Scaffe. Instructor Wilson, all as- sistant coaches and trainers and the main body of midshipmen will leave for New York In four sections at S o'clock Saturday morning. GLENN WARNER PEEVED. i Hot Satisfied With Wcfrioat Pit Panthers. . Pitt sail Rfl, Pa., Nov. 24. Ths Pitt Panthers did pot Impress Olenn Warner very much on Saturday against the Car- negie Tech, and he didn't mince words y when he lined them1 up against the Bcrubs at Forbes Field this after-l.oo- n preparatory to ths annual Thanks giving contest with Penn State. The Pitt students are almost In a panic at the way the boys from Centre County have been looming up this year and aro begging the Panthers to get Into the right spirit for their topnotch game of tho season. Walter Steffens, coach of ths Carnegie Tech, upset the dope on Saturday when ho made Warner Fend In his' first team after the Interval Instead of resting them up for the game against Penn State. s rv . . STUDENTS CHEER AT CORNELL PRACTICE Biff' Bed Eleven Is Beady for Pennsylvania Hasbrook to Play. Ithaca, Nov. 24. Although the Cor nell football team has travelled a rough road this season, there was nothing of discouragement In the eleven's final workout on Schoelkepf Field this after- noon. The 2,000 undergraduates who gathered In the centra stands to give the squad a big send off demonstration ace confident that Shlverlck will lead a fighting Cornell eleven out Onto Franklin Field Thursday afternoon to give Pennsylvania battle In the an- nual Thanksgiving Day classic. As \the squad starts Its Journey to Quakertown afternoon at an hour when the undergraduates could not get away from classes, all the stu- dents trooped into .the stands y. For half an hour they made the air ring with their raucous yells and peppy songs. The team's practice to-d- was ont of the lightest character, consistent with the coaches' policy of giving the players a good rest before sending them Into their Important games. The men are close to being on edge and they all looked fit as they ran through the 'short signal drill. With Rush's announcement 'that Has- brook would play left halfback only ono position remains In doubt. That if right tackle. Rush will sand either Sut- ton or Knauss to that post, depending upon which of the two men seems to be In the better shape. Both have been laid up with Injuries and only recently have bv.cn reported as fit for the fray. Sut- ton has played right tackle all season, but Knauss played a whale of a gaim the only time he was In the varsity lineup. Hasbrook fills In the place at1 left back, left vacant by the loss ofDavles. The latter was so badly hurt in the Penn State game that he has not been able to play since. This will be lias-brook- 's' first appearance as a regular. Had McKentle, first substitute back, been In shape to play he might have) had the preference for the Job because he has had more experience Has- brook. McKenzle, however. Is out of the game .with an Injur'. Hasbrook' Is something of an uncertain quantity, lacking In football experience, but shows occasional flashes of dazzling speed and daring play. MAY KEEP DR. SUTHERLAND. Lafayette Coach Likely to Get Ftro Vear Contract. Spidal DttpaJch to Tub Sex. ' Eastok, Pa.. Nov. 24. Dr. \Jock\ Sutherland, the former University of Pittsburg star linesman and coach of this season's Lafayette College eleven, will hold a conference with the athletlo committee of the Lafayette board of trustees In reference to ac cepting a position as coach of the Maroon ana white squad. Sutherland and his assistant, Fred \Pud\ Seldel, came here with a one year contract The success of the team Is directly due to the coaching of Sutherland and Seldel. It Is rumored around tho college that Suthnrland and Seldel will be offered a five year contract In ac- cord with the college tradition there was DO ceieurtbuuH iu-u- jr uidi uiu victory. ma K. OF C.

Teams representing the pick of the athletes among the various coutitlts of the Knights of Columbus throughout the East will compete In the Medley Belay race, one of the feature events of the meet ef Long Island Chapter, K. of C, In the Thirteenth Regiment Armory, Brooklyn, on December 6. Fred Dawson Soarcliing Squad for Man Who Can Got Off Long Kicks. Fred Dawsoi opened up the short period remaining for practice beforo the Brown game on Thanksgiving with a light workout on South Field yesterday afternoon. Four of the regulars failed to put In an appearance on the field. They will be on hand for the last hard scrimmage of. the year this afternoon. Realizing the crying need forb punter that exists on Marnlncalde Heights Daw son Is frantically searching his squad for a man who will fill tho bill. Yester- day Scovll, tho taokle, received Instruc tions In getting oft long boots in me facs of an advancing line. Johnny Klennlnger, centre, has shown himself to be a dependable punter In practtj-- games. Ho was not used last Saturday because ho was In no shape to play. Farrell also has shown marked ability In the kicking end of the game and may do some of the punting against Brown. Sam Welnstetn again appeared on the field early and practised sending the leather over the cross bar from the field. Sam's drop kicking was a dismal failure against Wealeyan and he Is working hard to remedy his fault In this line of play. Wesley, whose leg has been caus- ing him much trouble, also got off sev- eral long boots. For the brief period that he playtd against the Violet last Saturday he far excelled Eccles In the booting, and wonder was expressed when Dawson removed him from tho contest. Dawson again declared yesterday that there was Just a possibility that Qui- sle, the veteran quarterback, might break Into the lineup .on Thursday. Quigley has been out df the contest since early In the season and appeared In tho Stevens game for only a few minutes. An Infection developed on his leg after the contest and he has not been seen on the gridiron since. Colum- bia's stock will rise several points If Quigley appears on the field Thursday. Klennlnger decided to tako another day's rest yesterday. Tho plucky cen- tre rose from a sick bed last Saturday to play, but was In the game only a short time. Farrell twisted his hip Saturday and will appear on the field this afternoon. Forysthe spent the day doctoring up his ''charley horse,\ and Mossczenskl was kept from the workout on account ,of classes. Dawson sent the varsity through a short, light scrimmage against the scrubs, taking care that no Injuries' resulted from the practice. Bcclea was again at quarterback, but It would not be sur- prising to see Sam Welnsteln replace Eccles at the quarterback position against Brown. Scott and Johnstone at the halfback position and ADDelbaum rounded out the outer works. Modarelll and Scovll wero again at ths tackles, and two substitutes, Stockham-me- r and Korn, replaced Hlnsch and Forsythe at the guard positions. Ken- nedy and Welnsteln, the regular ends, were' again on the wings. Signal practice and running through formations took up most of the time of the team which was not devoted to the scrimmage. Dawson stated after the practice that there was little chance of Charlie Shaw getting Into the line. Shaw's leg Is still In a cast and seems to be little better. Dawson will order tho last hard work- out before the Brown game this aftern- oon.- WILLIAMS WANTS BROOKS AS COACH New York Man Placed the Teem on High Plane. Williams men are loud In the praise of the work of Joe Brooks of New York, coach of the Purple football eleven which ended the season ten days ago with an overwhelming victory over Am- herst Every effort will be made to re- tain his services another year. It Is generally expected that he will return although It may be a few months be- fore a definite announcement is made. Barring the 0 to Is disaster In the Wesleyan game, Williams defeated all the minor college olevens that It met In ddltlon, the Purple held Cornell 0 to 3, which at the time It happened looked tf be a greater feat than It now teems to be. Williams men think that Brooks has found a winning system and that the system will Improve as the years go, by. They have visions of see- ing the Purple attain heights that never before were reached. I Prospects for another fine eleven at Williams are most encouraging Be- sides Capt Boynton, regulars wfio will return comprise the rest of the back-flel- d Hlbbard Burger Beckett, La-se- ll, Fargo, Codding and Joslyn. The varsity next year also will get help from the strong freshman team of the present season and from a batch of second string men. Williams already Is looking ahead to a banner year on the gridiron In 1930 and the impression prevails that a much harder schedule will be played. The showing of the team this year Justifies this desire to attempt a harder schedule, but It will mean the sacri- fice of several home games for the Purplo, since big teams, If they are to be met at all, demand that Williams leave home to play them. STEVENS TO DISBANti AT STAG. Football Squad Will Celebrate Hnoeessfnl Season. The undefeated football team of Stevens Tech disbanded yesterday after- noon, but the season will not be offl- - noon, but the season will not be officially closed until after the usual annual foot- ball smoker, which will be held after the Thanksgiving holidays and at which time the letter \8\ will bo awarded to about twenty of the men who havo played In five out of the seven games this season. Because of the successful season this year the smoker will be made a larger affair than at any tlmo before. A stag dinner will be run oft In conjunction with the affair at wnlcn the members of the team will be the guests of tho student body and tho alumni. Plans aro under way to ac- commodate about a thousand grade and undaraTads. Tho blowout wilt probably bs held In one of the spacious buildings built by the navy during tne war on tne college grounds and N recently taken over by the Institute. It Is also planned, In'vlew of the un- usual success attending the team this year, to organize an alumni athletic as- sociation which will lend new life to Stevens athletics In tho future. STANFORD TO PLAY HEBE. Btamford High School's football team, champions of Connecticut will make Its first appearance In this city next Satur- day afternoon when it clashes with Erasmus Hall's' eleven at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn. These teams met last year at Stamford with the Connecticut cloven winning the contest by to 0. The Buff and Blue has made a creditable showing this season and should prove a worthy opponent for the visiting team. Copyright, 1919, tij tho Bun PrinUnp and, PvtyitMng AttodoHon. By DANIEL. of what may happen in the outside) worm there always IRRESPECTIVE championship to boNllsposed of among Harvard. Yale and Prlncetpn. In tho days of old tho national title was at stake In tho 1 Three series, but times havo changed It must bo said, for the hotter. This season the three, In so far tut sectional- - honors are concerned, find themselves Ineligible for rating even among tho first four In the East But among Big Threo men, and outsiders who sUll adhere religiously to the traditional, there Is violent debate regardlnir the disposition of the Harvard-Yole-Prlncet- championship. Harvard tied Princeton at 10 to 10. Then Princeton defeated Yale by 13 to 6 and Harvard won over the Ells by 10 to 3. In consequenco Harvard claims the title, and o does Princeton. To whom should It go, it go it should to either? While we recognize that we are treading on, aangerous grounu, miu indulsrinir In th almost fnrhldden nastlme of deciding the relative merits Of ar two elevens through our impressions iiuii in ucuiiunig mat X 1 ill LC kUU 1 DHUMCU W -.- ..ww w We give no consideration to the fact that Princeton scored three points moru against Yale than did Harvard. The entry of that argument would entail the consideration of the equajly Incontrovertible evidence that Yale was able to score three points more against the Tiger than It did against the Crimson. We believe that Princeton. Is entitled to the laurels becauso it played two such splendid gomes against Harvard and Yale on successive Satur r days. This - consideration ... has been years ana we are ttlad to be able to hrmg It into piay to neip uio \. Only those on the inside know what it means to he forced to play two major contests, with only sis days Intervening hetween them. For some reason or other Harvard, year after year, is permitted to retain the luxury of an easy Saturday between the Princeton and Yale games. Yale, like Princeton, must fight Its big battles on successive Saturdays, but Yale enters tho series n week later than does Princoton and has the benefit of the oxtra six days of preparation. Tale Had flrtotcst line, Princeton Greatest Backs. As we look back at thf Big Throe games and marshal thegood qualities of the teams, we find that Yale had tho best line, with Princeton second: that Princeton had the greatest backfleld, with Harvard second that Prince- ton showed the best developed attack, tho best ability to follow the ball, the Greatest versatility and tho best ability to sustain a drive through the medium of the team as a whole, rather than star. We also find that Princeton developed tne tnreat to mo nignesi degree, that It was best equipped in ie kicking game, and that it got the most out of Its material. It was one of tho scrappiest teams yet brought out at Nassau. Harvard was second in getting the best out of the forces avallableT Yale, with the best material of the three, was a poor last Princeton led In strategy, stratagems, smoothness and \mental cohesion,\ if we may use that term. Princeton was tho most clever of the three. Harvard developed a. lot of nnllah nnd Ynla was rimed vital punch because It had not the mental means. This Is not to be taken as a statement to tho effect that Yale had a dumb team. Harvard had tho best generalship,' with Princeton second and Yale nowhere. Princeton was ths best handler of the ball, with Harvard second and Yale again nowhere. Princeton was the revelation of the Big Three4 and we are glad to be able to say, for the first time since 1911, that the Orange and Black Is in tho ascendant. Stalenet It the Worst Enemy of the Successful Eleven. Tho biggest enemy of the successful football team Is staleness. Stalo-ne- ss brings about tho defeat of a team like Syracuse by an eleven of the calibre of Indiana. The first cousin of Staleness Is Overconfldence, and some- times, as seems to have been tho case with Syracuse, they go hand In hand. Staleness has been moro common ever since the advent of the newer football than it was In the days of the straight game, for after all, staleness Is a mental rather than a physical condition, and a development whiohaccentuates the fact that the mind Is master of the body. The newer game requires quick thinking, nimbleness of brain, close study. None but the player realizes what It means to master a reportoire of plays such as the RvJrers and Northwestern teams, for Instance, flashed last Saturday a repertoire replete with forward passes, shifts and double The team attains Its top form gradually and reaches a point which marks the realization of the greatest results Is then that tho coach, and the trainer uf schedule enters the discussion more strongly than ever. There must bo great care to prevent a letdown. Sometimes this Is accomplished, as It was at Princeton before the Yale came, bv rest for soma of the men and only light work for the others. Some teams Syracuse. we Imagine Is one of them; will go stale If permitted to Indulge In ease, and must be kept1 at tho top pitch of 'physical and mental excitement. In discussing the Syracuse defeat and the general question of staleness a friend of ours who Is a close student of tho game said last night, \Old football reminds me of the plodding wrestler; new football of the clever boxer. A wrestler can go .along taking part In a bout In a different town almost ever) night. He never seems to go stale. His work is purely physical. He rarely Is forced to think. The boxer must work with care If he hopes to avoid going stale, and even then, In spite of his care, he very often will find himself In the throes of that condition. Usually he will find that he has gone stale when he enters an Important bout He will find that he cannot move about with hla accustomed agility, that he cannot Judge time and dis- tance with his wonted prectseness. He is stale, and will wonder, for only the day before he had felt that he was m the best of condition.\ The comparison is an apt one and tho condition explained well. Stale- ness Is not confined to human beings. It will attack a horse, but In his physical, will not come from behind to to those are affected pass that to the professors. Columbia Hopes Tho other day we discussed the Columbia's \con- fronted realization staleness doubtedly In spite fighting touchdowns wus announced that It for trouble.

The first vnrslty, making Itself comfortable In Its new home, ran through a stiff drill, after which considerable time was spent In running down the field under punts and break- ing through tho second vanity line to block punts. drill Is expected to develop speed In the players that they can through the Cornell line and blo2k some of Shoverlck's spirals. Folwell said yesterday that two positions In the one In the backfleld were open to competition. Jim Ncylon. the Brook- lyn Is expected to start over Die- ter and Alex Wray, to one of the coaches.

The Yankees again will train In Jack- sonville, Fla next spring. That Is, pro- vided there aro any Yankees to train or an American League race to train for. According to Harry Sparrow, 'the Yan- kee business manager, the club has de- cided to exercise jts option on South Side Park,.acro8sghe river from Jacksonville wher9 u tramed la,t sprjnp. . . j... . . been AttD W U tSltlUt 1111 IliM aennitelv!ahlindon.d The San Fran cisco club of the Coast League recently Invited tho Yanks to train with them at Fresno, Cal., but when the Yankees asked for a full sized guarantee San Francisco lost Interest. Miller Hugglns, manager of the Yan- kees, was well satisfied with tho Jack- sonville weather last spring, and re- -' sards the Florida town as good as any In which he ever has trained a ball club. Some of the New York players com- plained about the wind in Jacksonville, but one will encounter wind In all parts of the South, as well as In the North In March and early April. Although the Cincinnati Reds got bad weather at Waxahachlc, Tex., last spring and won the world's champion- ship, they have decided to shift to Flor- ida in 1920. Carry Herrmann, president of the Reds, announced yesterday that-h- would send his team to Miami next spring. To riny Ileda In Florida. Sparrow said yesterday that n spring series between the Yankees and Reds In Florida probably would bo played. If tho clubs meet ono series will bo played In Miami and another In Jacksonville. As the Red Sox Intend to go back to Tampa next spring it Is likely that the world's. champions of 1919 will meet. the world's champions of 1918, with the famous Ruth getting his chanco at 's famous pitching staff. It Is practically certain that the Brooklyn team also wilt return 'to Jack- sonville next season and that the Dod- gers will meet the Yankees In tho usual spring series. There will be two Kellys with ths Giants at McQrawB training camp next season. Just where that will be hasn't been decided yet Ren Kelly, a younger brother .of George Kelly, will be tried out by McQraw. Llko George Kelly, Ren attracted at- tention while playing high school ball In San Francisco. In recent years bo has played semi-pr- o ball around the Golden Gato. Ho Is an lnflelder nnd pitcher, and has turned down several offers to play with Pacific coast teams. If he can land with a major league team he would not bo averse to stick- ing In the baseball business. IleraoR la In Toivn. Charley Hcrzog, former Giant captain and now a member of the Cubs, Is in town for the Army-Nav- y game. \ He vis-Ite- d tho Giants' ofllco and told quite on amusing littlo yarn on Frank Baker, New York's star home run walloper, who has to be coaxed to play In New York for something like 110,000 a year. When Baker left last fall he Issued hi.i usual proclamation of retirement But while \Bake\ can sIord to turn down thousands, he doesn't overlook the small sized notes. \Herzy\ managed a team which did a little barnstorming In Maryland last fall, and Baker played third bnso for him. But tho receipts weren't very big. In one game Baker got only $10 as his share and another yielded him only IS. Once tho gate was so small that Charley was unable to declaro any dividends at all. But that was the last straw for Baker. He retired from the barnstorm- ing trip. Duffy Lewis, another Yank, who has announced his retirement, Is having hla troubles with the housing problem out In California. Duffy wants to start In the lire ousiness in I' rrano out can i get any t place to \house\ his store. However, he hopes to get Into a new building which will be finished next month. If Duffy ' can't find a place perhaps ho will have to play ball another year. HOSPITAL LIST AT VILLANOVA. . Several Players Serloualy Hurt la Catholic Game. Special Deipatch to Tns Sex. Viixanova, Pa., Nov. 24.

Cronln and Cullom havo minor In juries, which will not keep them out of the final game of the season with the New York State Aggtan at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, on Thanksgiving Day. This is expected to bo an interesting struggle, and Reap, the coach, la hard at work grooming his team for the contest. It Is probable that several new faces will appear In the line to take the places of the Injured men. Amby Brennan and Waltor Guy, two Juniors whoso scholns-- e tic work kept them too busy at the beginning of the season, have answered Reap's call for help, and will probably bo used to bolster up the line. Brennan and Guy wero regulars on the 1917 team and returned from the service In October. In addition Pickett, Hcnnenberger, and possibly Joe McDermott, will also be available for the line, along with Kerns, Casey, Lcnthnn, Belz apd Kenny. Mc- Carthy's Injuries.
