The story goes that in GAINESVILLE, Wis,
four nights ago Bob was feeling unusu-
ally frisky. He is a rough boxer at all
times, but he was rOugher then than
ordinarily. He landed a solid punch that
hurt his sparTfng partner and Kenny got

an army of yelling youngsters was there

and the only question is how big the

Only light practice was given the
team Tuesday evening. They did not

boys nave a choice lot OF new plays up

been acquiring them all season, but
have never been so hard pressed yet
that they have had to resort to them.
The men are in the pink of condition.
Their careful training has had its eff

NO TEAM IS CHAMPION.
Harvard, Princeton and Yale Appear
of About Equal Strength

New York Nov .29.-Cornen has beat
en- Princeton and Yale has lost to Col
umbia, Pennsylvania tied Chicago and
Lafayette was victor over COrnell;Y Yale
tied Harvard, and, to add to the list,
Princeton has triumphed over Yale
The season will end next Thursday.
Already the talk has begun as to the
eastern championship, and Princeton is
urging its claim because it won from
Yale and Yale tied Harvard which
beat Pennsylvania. AS a matter Of
fact the championship appears to be in
a hopeless muddle that will be all the
more complicated if Pennsylvania de-
feats Cornell Thursday. AS it stands,
Princeton has been defeated, and no
team in that condition can have an IN
disputed right to first hOnOrs. of
course it beat Yale. which now has two
defeats and one tie game to it's credit
not a very creditable record for 4
frst-class tean-but could the Tigers
win from Harvard? Cornell if it had
beaten Lafayette and should end the
season by a victory at Philadelphia,
would have the best claim to the east
ern championship. Lafayette has won
from Pennsylvania and defeated Cor
nell, but the former looked very like
an accident, and the latter was only
by a goal kick after a touchdown
against crippled team, so that the
record of the eastern team does not
seem to entitle it to first place. even
though its record has been of the best.
AS it stands Harvard is the only IN
beaten team.

PENN TEAMS LAST CHANCE.
Victory Over Cornell Will Partly Off
set the Season's Defeats.

Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-The PennsyI-
Vania football team witnessed the
Princeton Yale game. The PennsyIva-
MIA team is unanimous in the belief
that Princeton won a weII-earned vic
tory.
But one chance now remains for the
Pennsylvania team to redeem itself
The Cornell game, which now assumes
all the effects of a championship con-
test, since Cornell has defeated Prince
ton, will be played on Thursday. Both
teams have been working hard, and the
final contest promises to be a close
one.
The changes in the lineup seem to
satisfy Coach Woodruff for the present
and the physical condition of the men
IS all that could be expected after the
long, hard schedule passed through.
The present combination of players
seems to work together to better ad-
vantage than any former lineup, al
though it may be changed at any time
Outland, Wallace and Potter are the
only sure men who are not in cOndi-
ton. Gardeners play the past week at
half back has been the revelation of
the season, and he will be found in this
position on Thursday.

It has been officially stated that General

man if he could direct an army corps of
80 900 British troops. while the great MARI
