Now the excitement will be for Yale and
Princeton. They meet on the Manhattan
Field, New York City and what game it
will be Yale is confident in regard to the
result Of the game. Princeton will try TO
profit by Harvard's experience on Satur-
day and will not expect the three half
backs TO win the game.
Homan's kick is more feared by Yale
men than Trafford's Yale is really
afraid of him. Princeton has done splen-
did work in training. In the language of
the day, She isn't saying much but is
saving wood" McClung, the great, the
wonderful McClung, is keeping very quiet,
and only says that Yale will be on deck TO
make the fight of her life.

The National Club of London is con-
HueuL lHdJ III blt purse LOT

| has captured the coveted prize, and that
| England will be the scene of the set-to be-

| different color. But now, as in days gone

| until Jackson's name is attached to the
| document the club cannot feel certain that
| the big match is theirs The California
| Athletic Club has offered purse q s12,-

| way To England TO meet Slavin when he
can get an offer of purse larger py 5000

| Still, jackson has no great love for the Cali

President Phelps does not intend to let
the league get the start of him by nego-
tiating with the several clubs and trying
To make deals with them on the ground
that the other clubs are disloyal. Yester-
day he sent letters to the club members of
the association, cautioning them to place
no confidence in the deal attempted by the
league. He writes
~ have learned that the plan hit upon
is to create among you a lack of confidence
in one another, thus accomplishing dis
ruption in your membership. Efforts have
been made To induce Messrs. Wagners,
Prince and Hart, Mr.. Won der Abe, Mr.
Williams and others TO believe their asso-
citation unworthy of their confidence
Il have within the past few DAYS re-
ceived the personal assurance of the Wag-
| ners, Mr.. Prince, Mr.. Hart, Mr. Williams
and Mr.. Won der Abe that under no cir
| cumstance can they be induced to enter
| into any alliance or compact which is not
| approved by the association. You have
no war to make upon any other associa-
tion or league. You would, you should,
quietly pursue the plans we have agreed
upon"
J. w. Spaulding feels confident that
| next summer the League will consist of
| twelve clubs. According to Mr.. Spaul-
| ding the ten cities in view are: Boston,
New York. Chicago, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
st. Louis and Brooklyn. The other two
cities have not as yet been decided upon.
Mr.. Spaulding further declares: "If
| there is an impression that anybody is TO
| be unfairly treated, il should be dispelled.
So far as the League is concerned, every
| thing will be done on "a basis of fairness.
| No club will be thrown down. the sole
| object being 10 put the game on n founda-
| tion where it will prosper. The present
cOnultlOn OF aUalfs ~ very nuTtluI 10 the
