tai in rolling up the big scores against all
opponents. HarVard's contention that by
+ playing McCracken the four-year rule will
be violated, appears to be drawing the
line pretty fine. But at that 1t Will be of
interest 10 see what action Pennsylvania
takes. Unable to arrange games with Iale
and Princeton, the (luakerS have depended
upon Harvard for their only really big
game OF the year. If Harvard stands
firm, therefore, it is believed that Pennsyl-
vania, rather than sever relations with
Cambridge, viii accede to the demand and
viii substitute some other player. Before
that action is taken. however, the Penn
Sylva1iia authorities will probably makeAa
supreme effort 10 fix the matter up so that
McCracken viii be allowed TO play AT
Philadelphia it was said that the Quakers
felt somewhat piqued because the protest
was not filed by Harvard several weeks
ago, so that Woodruff could have had
plenty of time to develop an able substi-
tute full back. McCracken originally
played right guard, and, with Hare, proved
a tower Of strength in the guards back

by every critic who saw his work. AT full
back he has turned out to be, next TO
Hare, the best ground-sainer of the Penn

would not be at ali surprising if either
Harvard or Princeton should file one
against Sheldon, of Yale. Though he has
not played four years on the Varsity, he
was not in college al all last year, and
the statement is made that he simply re-
turned 10 pay football. Sheldon has had
his expenses paid by the New York "A. c.,
at Travers Island, but under the rules

Coach Sanford expressed the belief that
the Columbia Varsity Will make the
Princeton Tigers play one of their hardest
games Of the year on election day. He
began preparing the men for that con-
test as soon as they got their football
toys on. No game VII be played by
Columbia until that day SO that all or
the players will have ample time to get
over their bruises The system of play
That worked so successfully against Yale
will be perfected SO that when ithe eleven
lines up against Princeton 1t VIII be IN
the best poss BILE trim. Having resained
a feeling of confidence, the Columbia play
ers are anxious to make such showing
on election day that there will be no
doubt about their ability The Prince
ton eleven is not nearly so heavy as
Yale and for that reason the Columbia
men believe they will have a much better
chance to show Their worth. The Yale
game was still the topic of discussion at
that Captain Morley wanted TO limit the
playing time to twenty-,ninute halves, but
Yale insisted upon thirty and twenty-five
minute periods. If Captain Morley had
been able to carry his point, Columbia
men believe that Yale would have had
very narrow escape from another defeat
While Weel1es and Morley were lionized
by the students, Jack Wright, Sykes.
Austin, Wolff and, in fact, all of the
players came in for their share Of APP

guard at the last moment and faced the
Yale captain. Brown, was especially COM
plimented for his pluck. Though compare

remarkable fortitude. Beardsley was for

six feet tall and weighs $50 pounds, be-

Weekes would be a valuable addition to
Harvard, Yale, Princeton or Pennsylvania.
