Alderman Plotke, OF Chicago, author OF
the thcatrc-hat ordinance, will intro
duce, at special meeting OF the City
Council, called for Tomorrow, measure
to prohibit the playing of football any
where within the limits OF Chicago.
Princeton still remains the only one Of
the big college teams that has not been
scored against this season. Tie Tigers
have played ten games with an average
of thirtyfour points per game.
There will be IL game OF foot ball for
blood this afternoon at Riverview
grounds when the Independence and
Ariel teams line up. This game is for
the l35 pound championship of Della
ware, and all who want to see a good
game should turn out and give them
helping hand.
| would like to state that the Ariel
Football team has not defeated the Kill
lickinick this year, as it was a picked
team of the Adonis and Ariel. If it had
not been for Furguson they would not
have scored They want to bar us as
they are afraid to play us with their
team, as they are easy, and we will com
pei them to play us return game, land if
they don't they are eleven big towards.
Signed, MANAGER.
The practice yesterday was again
hard and fast. Before the re-
gular lineup the team spent several
minutes in signal practice. Great
pains were taken to have every man in
every play, and special attention was
given to fast work. No one was per-
mitted to loaf for an instant, and the
team went up and down the field several
times at a rapid rate. This sort Of work
is very hard on the mems wind, but it is
of great benefit to the team in more ways
than one.
The Varsity lined up against the scrub
and played two halves-one of twenty
five, the other Of twenty minutes. The
men were all in their regular places, and
the play was hard and fast. In the first
half the Varsity scored three touch
downs, and in the second one.
Betting has already commenced
on the Yalc-Princeton game. So
confident are the sons OF Eli
over the great showing made by Yale
against the Chicago Athletic Club that
$500 was sent here yesterday to be posted
for betting. ii Yale is confident Prince
ton is more so for the half thousand was
snapped up by eager undergraduates with
IN alacrity that left no doubt as to the
faith Princeton men have in the ability
Of the Tigers to defeat their old oppon-
ents.
With the big game with Yale day
nearer Harvard sentiment has come to
view the chances of success as about
even. Scarcely Harvard man can be
found to offer any odds, and two orthree
OF the coaches, who have been with the
eleven all the season, are willing to give
even money and even money only. The
reason for the slump in Crimson hopes
comes from the fact that news of the
work of the men is only obtained by
hearsay. Then again there have come
stories of how much better Yale is play
ing.
A Western Athlete, who has seen the
Yale practice during the last week, de-
clared to your correspondent that the
Ellis were picking up more quickly than
he had ever seen team do before. Still,
it is extremely doubtfol whether all the
brace in the world will overcome Ya!e's
weak defence.
The Hinsdale High School foot ball
eleven, of Iinsdalc, n. H., claims the
premium chrysanthemum on heavy
weight centre rush in Robert W. Blanch-
ard This young Hercules weighs 40
pounds, is feet inches tall, and is now
in his seventeenth year.
irresponsible persons have been spread
ing report to the effect that the Yale
players will deliberately attempt to edo
up" Cabot, Dibblcc and one or two other
Harvard players when the game begins
on Saturday. How anybody can put
faith in such yarns is beyond comprrhen-
sion.
Taking the game with the Carlisle
Indians as Il criterion many followers of
the Pennsylvania eleven believe that the
Quakcrs were slightly overturned and
that they may not be in their best trim
when they meet Harvard ut Philadelphia
y week from Saturday. Trainer Mike
however, says that his men
have not reached their best yet, for, he
,rgucs, they are beng trained and have
been all along, for the game with Har- ,
ward. Coach Woodruff also declares that
the team has not been ovcrtraincd, and
points to the fact that the Indians were .
