THEIR FINISHING TOUCHES.

The Princeton Football Players Getting
Their Final Lessons Before Going to
Meet Yale on Thursday-The Boys Are
Not Very Hopeful About the Big Event.
PRINCETON, Nov. 2l.-ISpecial. I-only two
days remain in which to give the Princeton
eleven the finishing touches and unity the
playing strength OF the team before the great
battle of Thanksgiving Day. Monday and
Tuesday will therefore be the two most i'm
portant practice days of the year, and
Wednesday will be spent in rest. Duncan
Edwards, Tracy Harris and Peter Poe, who
have been coaching since the beginning OF
this week, VIII remain here un til the eleven
starts on their eventful journey to New
York. On Monday and Tuesday they will
devote most of their time to rubbing off the
rough corners and polishing up the line
points which they have been rubbing on SO
assiduously during the last five days.
On the whole. the work of the team dur
ing the season has been far from salts
factory. The vigor, snap and dash SO char
acteristic of Princeton teams in the past,
have not been feature of this seasons
work, except when Moffst, Harris, Edwards
or Poe was here. OF these coaches Moftat
and Edwards have been a power on the
team. Both have combined head work and
real life in their work of coaching. Poe, too,
has exerted wonderfully y awakening power
over the players. But these men have been
here very little, and they might have ar
time the team would be without single
coach. Suddenly three four, five or six
would appear, and sometimes the thing was
overdone. There have been instances in
which a player has had adv ce during the
game from three coaches, and in each case
an entirely different method was advocated.
The result was, in the words of the player
himself, Il did not know what to do"
When the team was left to itself the play
was eXecrably slow, ragged, and suggestive
of "prepn school work. There did not seem
to be anybody capable of infusing life and
spirit into the players. Each man, with one
or two exceptions, did very much as he
pleased. The team, therefore, did not i'm
prove as it would had it been better han
led
1t was not until a few days ago that the
team began to play an inspiring. .soul-stirring
game, and keep to it. About a month ago
Aleck Moffat introduced some new STYLES of
play and aroused the men to a sense of the
importance OF time and work. For a couple
of days the practice games were all that
could be desired, but when Moffat was not
there the team again fell back into the pit Of
lethargy. Still, the team is no mean one.
The last weeks practice. together with the
valuable coaching of Edwards, have worked
wonders. Improvement has been very
rapid, d,and game is being played that would
do credit to any Princeton team. One or
two men who thought they had a "cinch"
on the team, were convinced in a practical
way Of the error of their ideas. Edwards
was quick to see that everyone was not do
ing his best. A change was made.

SOME LOCAL OPINIONS
What Pittsburg Patrons Think About the
Game at SprincfieId Yesterday

What Pittsburg Patrons Think About the
Game at Springfield Yesterday.
Never in the history of this city has there
been as much interest centered in a football
game as there was here last evening regard
ing the Yale and Harvard game. For hours
the telephone of The DIsP4ToH Office was
kept busy by citizens wanting to know the
result of the game. The sporting editors
room was crowded all night by football ELL
thusiasts, and altogether it is safe to say that
no sporting event has caused more interest
here. This means: What will the interest in
the Yale-Princeton game be?
The general opinion of local enthusiasts
was to the effect that Yale was sure to win,
as it has the best football team in the coun-
try. o. d. Thompson said:
81 would have been surprised if the Yales
hadn't won, but mad thought they would
have made q bigger score. Harvard has
good team or they could not have kept the
Yale team down to ten points. The game
was evidently a great one."
Phil Lloyd, Vice President of the Allie
gheny Athletic Association, said: "The Yale
team are better lot than the team of
Harvard, but depend upon it, the Harvard's
ten points. The result means that Yale will
defeat Princeton
Warman McClintock expressed the opin-
ion that Harvard must have a good team to
make the game so close as it was.
The Cleveland players expressed opinions
similar to. the above: in short, the general
local opinion is that Harvard is stronger
than was anticipated, and that Yale is sure
to defeat Princeton next Thursday.

LONDON, Nov. 21.-[Copyright Mi
chael j. Kelly, the eminent ball player of
Boston, who, with his wife and his father-in-
law, John Headifen, of Hyde Park, New
York, is doing Europe, left London to-day
for Paris. Mr.. Kelly has been only few
days in town, but his departure is source
of regret to those expatriated Americans
who daily congregate in the Victoria Hotel
smoking room, which, as popular rendez-
vous, might correspond with the, Hoffman
House bar if they knew how to mix drinks
in the London institution.
Mr.. Kelly's advent in the smoking room
during the week has been the signal for
every self-respecting American to gather
about the celebrated catcher. and listen to
the tale of the days adventures, for Mr.
Kelly has a keen appreciation of the
humors arising out of the different condi-
tions that exist in the two countries,
and facility and vigor in
expressing himself that is both interesting
and instructive. Any conscientious phil
ologist would have walked miles to the
the Savoy Hotel this morning to have been

8 odd pounds for five days accommodation

THE AMATEUR BOXERS.

They Are Not willing to Be Pounded For q
Trophy.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2l.-Amateur boxing is
doomed.
The persons interested in this line of
sport have tried hard to uphold it, but in
vain. They find that the young men who
pick up the art of self defense are not the
class who will go up and be pounded for
trophy; cash is what they want.
A better illustration of the evils arising
from the pernicious practice of employing
amateurs to spar at amateur boxing tourna-
ments would be harder to find than that
presented at the preliminaries of the Long
Island Athletic League last night. The pro-
gramme contained the names Of from Is to
25 boxers, OF more or less repute, in each
class. When the bouts We're announced,
however, the number who had weighed in
averaged three to a class, and these were
not the stars of the amateur ring. Every
one knew that there was not a cent in cir
cuIation for the championships, and one
pugilistic youth summed up the whole sit
uation by saying: "Do yer tink we're going
to scrap for tin badge that yer can t hock?"
President Peverelly worked hard to make
the championships a success, but he has
found out that great mary of the amateur
boxers are out for the cash. Glory has
ceased to have any charms for them. The
New York Athletic Club has also realized
the same thing, and amateur boxing is about
over,

versity Boys, but Dispute Follows.
The concluding game of the intercollegiate
series was played yesterday at East Liberty
Park between the Geneva College and the
Western University teams. The game was
stubbornly contested from start to finish.
Geneva, who had the heaviest rush line de-
pended entirely on her bucking. Sterrett
did fine work for Geneva in this line. The
University boys made all their gains on
their round-the-end runs. Griggs and Gill
did good work. In the first half peculiar
dispute arose. Geneva had the ball and
punted. Steele returned the punt and the
ball passed over the line. University
downed it there and claimed q touchdown.
Geneva claimed that the man who put the
ball down was of side. The umpire would
not render a decision not having seen the
man, and so the referee could not decide
the point. No further scoring was done in
the first half In the second half Geneva
scored in 20 minutes by good bucking by
Sterrett. A goal was kicked. The Uni
versity took the ball, and by fine interfering
and round the end play scored another
touchdown. No goal was kicked. No fur
ther scoring was done The result of the
game is yet in doubt, but the matter will be
decided this week. The teams lined up as
follows.
