FOOTBALE AT HARV4RD,
Radical Changes to be Made in the Coach
 ing Corps.

ing Corps.
 Cambridge, Mass, Sept 16-There will be a decided change in the organi- zation of the football coaching corps at Harvard this fall, as well as a wide departure from former methods of de- veloping the eleven. Last spring it was announced that the destinies of Har- ward on the gridiron would be dele gated to the three men who had charge in 1S94-W. A. Brooks, L. E. Deland and R. E. Emmons-with Deland as head coach. Since that time Captain Cabot has evidently changed his mind, for now comes the surprising news that w. Cameron Forbes '92 will be head coach, with the above-named trio simply an advisory board. Forbes is the son of Colonel w. H. Forbes of Mill ton, and is we'll known polo player and yachtsman. He never played on the Varsity eleven while in college, but was prominent on his class eleven. He coached the '9S and '99 freshman teams with marked success.
 His particular province this fall will be the development of team play. but he will take active charge on the field next Monday. MT. Forbes and Captain Cabot are close friends and have been planning their campaign all summer. It will be their aim to avoid the errors of previous years.
 This year the first eleven will be selected as early as possible and the disastrous policy employed last fall of playing four elevens most of the sea- son will be abandoned.

of Games This Season.
 A league of basket ball teams of the city, known as thesNew Haven league has been formed afitI will play a series of games the coming season in the old Qutnnipiac rink sS The following tSams are in the league: Victors Eity Guard), New Haven (st. PatricH's T. A. and B.), Young Mems Athletic club est. Igna- tius' T. A. and B. ,5Railroad, Franklin and Nonpareil.
 It is probable that one or two more teams will be addedAto the league. The first game of the Se4 son will be played on November , betEeen the New Ha- vens and NonpareilS The other games of the series have ndt been arranged as yet.
 The Victors, the team of the City Guards, have been reorganized as fol- lows: William Sypher, left guard and captain; Fraser, right guard; Doolittle, center; Michael, right forward; Druehl, left forward.
 There is some doubt as to the other military companies having basket ball teams this year, as the results last year were not entirely satisfactory, the riv- airy aroused being so strong as to cause some ill-feeling between some of the companies.

Given by the Monitor Club.

Sports from Connecticut and representatives of the sporting element of New York and Massachu- setts were in attendance and it is esti- mated that over 5000 people witnessed the bouts. The affair was pulled off without the least disturbance and gave general satisfaction, barring the Mur- phy-Lane bout, which was scheduled for twenty rounds, but in which Lane quit in the eleventh round.
 Charley White was referee. Dennis ORe1lly master of ceremonies and Steve Farrel, the noted sprinter. timer.
 Though not scheduled as the star bout, the rounds between Sammy Mev- CTS of Waterbury and Austin Rice of New London proved to the attraction of the night, The limit number of rounds were pulled off to a draw, but it was apparent that each lad was working for decision.
 Rlce's tactics were to land on the stomach, playing for the wind. while. Meyers hoped to get a knockout on Rice's jaw. The ten rounds were hard fought and very clever, and the referee justly declared it draw.
 The opening preliminary between Lew Meyers of Waterbury and Jack McKeck of New York, ten rounds at 112 pounds for decision, but was declar- ed draw, though there was a diver sity of opinion among the spectators as both men did some fast and clever work.

ATTEMPTED TO KILL DIAZ
PRESIDENT OF THE MEXICAN RE.
 PUBLIC HAS 4 MARROW ESCAPE.

An Aged Man Made n Pluppe nit H,,r 1 With Dagger-President Was Un-
 scathed-Attempted Assassination Took 1 Place During the Celebration of the Re. public's Natal Day.
 New York, Sept. 16.-A special dis patch to the New York Evening Post | from the City of Mexico says: An attack | was made shortly after 10 a. m. to-day
 on President Diaz as he was proceeding
 from the palace to the Alameda to dis tribute medals to the survivors of the war. The city is in fever of excite ment, and the stories generally are con- Hlctlng. The most reliable version is that as the president was entering on foot the Alameda or Central park of the city, middle aged man armed with long pointed dagger jumped forward rom the crowd and made an attempt
 10 stab the president. He was at once seized by the presidents suite and the police and handcuffed. Then, by side street to avoid publicity, he was taken under strong guard to the Fourth WI f'S~ASS oteaLiOlI. 1Il0 duIHOrItleS
 have so far refused to make a state- ment
 The president was walking, as is his custom, on independence day and was between Minister Mena of communica- tions and General Berriozal, minister or war. General Mena grappled with the Would- be assassin, who was at once dlsarmed and handed over to the police. The excitement among the foreign col- onles Is intense. As this dispatch is being sent 25,000 troops are n1archfnr past the president, who Is surrounded by his cabinet and unmoved by the at- tept, and the people are hurrahing for Mexico and General Diaz The presi- dent escaped entirely uninjured.
 To-day is the national holiday of the country, being the anniversary of the declaration of independence and the streets are thronged with people. The attack on the president was just before the great military parade started. The assailant is middle-aged man with long, dark hair and a prominent nose. He looks something like an Italian. The attack may be the result of the recent propaganda here against all Iorms of anarchists. One Jose Ventre from Spain has just been expelled from the country and sailed two days ago on the Ward line steamer for New York.
 Another version is that the man was simply presenting a petition. This is not believed. The ceremonies of the morning were not interfered with and the parade started on time and was re- viewed by the president, as planned. at the national palace. The prisoner gave the name of Arroyo
