FOOTBALL CHAT.

| A prominent Harvard alumnus, who
watches football closely, is quoted as
| saying: IL think Harvard would agree
| to change the date for the Springfield
game IL 1t would help solve the Yale
Princeton trouble Yesterday Mr..
George Adee, Yale's leading football
light in this city, distinctly said that
Harvard had twice declined to change
the date of the Springfield game. Yale
asked her to do SO last December. and
again last May. AS Harvard has no
game scheduled from Nov. 10 unrl s she
plays Yale, Nov; -, ana ana as ds sne' TOO. mas aS
THANKSGIVING Day, with Pennsylvania at
Philadelphia. it IS hard to understand
her declination to accede to Yale's re-
quest
MIR. Adee said further that he was
opposed to Yale playing Princeton on
Thanksgiving Day. He does not think
holiday 1t has become too much of
public spectacle already, he thinks, and
should be decided at some sequestered
spot like Springfield. as the Iale-Har"
ward game.
From talks with prominent alumni of
al Saf intend a shf to v'S hans " e on he
question of having the le-Princeton
game played after Thanksgiving Day.
They have all received the b cue rd from
the attitude of Hinkey and Gable, they
agree to say AYE" to all the pettifog
cling the Yale politicians may do.
The mooted return to Yale of Murphy,
| last years left-tackle, Will cheer the
hearts of the Blues, for Murray, the
present occupant of that position, offered
almost no resistance to the assaults of
the Draper boys of Williams in Wednes-
| days game.
Murphy, however; while a veteran and
teaches implicit obedience to. the despot-
ism of its athletic captains, IL not likely
to stand up in the line as meek target
for Capt. Hinkey's kicks. Commenting
spatch from New Haven says: Capt.
Hinkey has kicked players before. but
has in f most seard sas
Jams game. When asked why he did
not play Beard answered that he felt
sore 1t is a question whether his body
or feelings were meant" .Hinkey has
in the meantime been coaching the men
in muckerish fashion. yesterday shout
face fac Lee ee" you can't spoil it,"
Capt. Trenchard said TO an Evening
World man the other day at the train
given good trial at quarter. For me,
Il was like learning the game al over
again to play in that position" Morse.
like capt. nlpe, VI ftnnSylNh-
MIA, will make heavy quarter back, but
both seem more useful from their very
weight at half, whence they hit the line
with a terrible impact
II chunky black-maned Rosengarten
can only keep himself from severe in
jures he. is likely to do as good work
behind the line as Dewitt. OF Yale.
Dewitt bowls his opponents over more
ruthlessly when careening down the
field, but he does not buck the line any
harder.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
Princeton men do not like the rules, az
changed by the Committee of experts
last Spring, and it's a mighty good as
: sumption that the Tigers will continue
to play that clever combination of the
close and open game that won them 9
notable victory last year. OF course
opening plays will have to be different
but, generally, there will be few new
