for cheering at the Yale game is being
organized. It is intended to equip nearly
5000 rooters for the crimson with this
weapon.
DAILY. who plays rush on the Clinton
polo team, was one Of Albert Cham
pion's crew of pacemakers during the
cycling season. Daily was steersman
for several Of the pace followers during
the season.
Trick plays are being practiced by
University Of Pennsylvania In hopes
of scoring against Harvard Saturday
Harvard is a 2 to / favorite In the
betting and odds of to 10 are offered
that University of Pennsylvania will
not score.
Worcester High School team needs
practice, but there doesn't seem to be
any anxiety on the part OF several OF
the players to get 1t. Yesterday there
was not a full eleven Of regulars on
the field and the practice wasn't es-
pecially spirited.
Tom johnson, a Worcester boy and
member Of the Yale varsity crew, is
doing some splendid work for the col
lege team In lineups against the regu-
lars at New Haven. Johnson has been
used at guard and centre and has
shown strength In both.
TO win against the Academy or
even make a showing that will reflect
credit on Worcester High, Coach De-
laneys men should not neglect prac-
tice. With the Academy game less than
two weeks away, the High School lads
forget that practice is necessary.
John l.. Sullivan is trying to get
into the theatrical business again.
few days ago John i. opened negotia-
lions with some theatrical promoters
with a view to putting an Uncle Toms
Cabin company on the road. The vet
eran wants to appear as the slave
owner.
Michael ]. Thompson, a former
Holy Cross boy, who is now graduate
manager Of athletics at Georgetown, is
in demand as a football official
throughout the South. Thompson is
one OF the officials at all the games in
which Annapolis figures, but may be
forced out when the annual game with
West Point is played.
The Jenkins Mcleod wrestling match
at Cleveland tonight Is attracting as
much attention as the Jeffries-R Rubin
fight. The sports Of the Middle West
are focking to Cleveland in hundreds,
and thousands OF dollars will be
wagered Jenkins has the advantage
by about ten pounds in weight, but the
Scotchman is remarkably fast.
Western sporting men are said to
have a heap Of money to bet on w. Fl.
Rothwell young Corbett) when he
meets Terry McGovern at Hartford.
Thanksgiving day. Young Corbett is
a gamey lad, but he insisted on a fat
guarantee before he would consent to
go into the ring with Terry, and it's
a cinch that there will not be very
stiff side bet
Irving Waldron Of Southbridge is
said to have jumped the American
League for the Philadelphia Nationals.
Waldron was with Milwaukee and
washington last year. The Boston Ma
tional League club wanted him, but
Philadelphia got the little Southbridge
whirlwind 1t is tit for tat with the
club having swiped Deiehanty and
other stars.
Mike Murphy, the Yale trainer,
says Of Harvard: II look for fully as
hard a game with Harvard as with
Princeton. I think that Harvard is
going to fool us. take no stock in the
rumors about there being lot Of Grip
pies at Cambridge. In my opinion, the
Crimson will be wonderfully strong
when 1t meets Yale this season" Mike
probably made that statement because
he couldn't be expected 70 make any
other, but there are scores who be-
lieve that Harvard has as good as an
even chance Of winning.
