Although every endeavor has been
made to have them do SO, the football
teams OF West Chester and Phoenixville,
between which there has been bitter
rivalry for years, will not meet this sea-
son. Phoenixville offered West Chester
but fifteen per cent. of the gate receipts
to play there and refused to arrange a re-
turn game. To this the team here would
not agree, and offered to play two games,
one in each town, without any guarantee
or for half the gate receipts Phoenix
vile refused, and referred the manage
ment to her former offer, refusing any
thing more reasonable As West Chester
will not agree to this the games will not
take place.

That Grant Cadwalader, Yale's big
guard, did not suffer fracture in his
accident, Monday, is now stated by Drs.
McCosh and McBurney, of New York
city. Cadwalader has just returned

examined by these specialists under the
Y rays. They declare that the ligaments
were badly strained, and that the bone
may be splintered, but that there is no
fracture. This being the case, Cadwala-
der will be wearing Yale uniform again
within two weeks.
One of the funniest incidents of the

IN evidence to prove such to be the case.
lust what good it would have done
Pennsylvania to have known Lafayette's
signals these excited Eastonians fail to
Explain. Lafayette had the ball very
eldom, and when she got it she was
,lad to kick SOFAS to get it out of danger
oefore losing il, on fumble-which she
lid more than once. Lafayette was SO
low in starting her plays, and Captain
usually whispered to Quarter
Jack Best before the signal was given,
nd when the latter looked around to see
where the man stood he was to pass the
all to, that the wide-awake Pennsylva-
ians could tell, without even listening
, any signals, nearly every time which
the opposing players was going to take
