Respectfully yours,

The most interesting football game of the season will be played to-mor- row at o'clock at the Y NJ. c. A. field, where the Waterbury and Hill house High schools will contest in game of football which will decide which team will meet the winner of the New Britain Nj eriden contest in the final game for the Yale cup and the championship of the Connecticut Interscholastic27 lea que. This game means much to Hillhouse. They have already won the cup and if they can this year the cup, will be theirs for ever. Consequently they will line up their strongest eleven against the focal boys. They desire very much to wipe out the ignonimious defeat ad- ministered to them by the local ele- ven last year. They have been indulg ing in the hardest of practice the last week under the bfst coaching. They are confident of irolling up several score against the locals. They will be accompanied to this city by about one hundred footers. 'gOn the other hand, the local eleven is, in the best of con dition.

 Boston, Nov 2.-Coach Woodruff of | the Pennsylvania eleven took occasion to deny a story that McCracken is at present in the sixth year of his inter- collegiate career. He characterized the statement as being entirely false. and without foundation. and declared that the statement that McCracl1en had competed at the Cooper Memor- ial college in Kansas was false.

The reply he had seen Harvard took every possible means that was right to find out about the famous foot ball players standing, which was perfectly proper. The diff ference over McCracken. said Wood ruff, is not a matter of fundamentals, but merely question of the interpre- tation of a rule, which in itself is not a definition. i .4A sA.sst N .}4sr Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov 2.-The Uni versity of Michigan was enshrouded in gloom last night as a result of injury to Center Wilson in practicing with the scrubs on Regents field yesterday afternoon. Wilson's right shoulder was badly wrenched and several liga- ments torn loose. so that the prospects are that he will be unable to play again this season. That is the state ment of the physicians after a hurried examination, but hope is not aban- doned that he will sufficiently recover to be of service in the Thanksgiving day game with Chicago.
