GALA DAY ON BRooKLYNs sPEEDwAY-IN-
DOOR SEASON TO BEGIN-NoTEs AND
COMMENT FROM EVERYWHERE

BFooklyn's cosmopolitan Speedway never pre-
sented a uvelier aspect than It did yesterday af-
ternoon. Spectators lined both sides Of the
Parkway for az least two miles, and the num-
her Of Wheelmen drivers and automobile people
seen during the afternoon was probably greater
than on any previous day in long time. There
were a few runaways. but no serious accidents.
A horse attached 10 light wagon ran away
in front OF Minden's about o'clock but sue
ceeded only in demolishiag the wagon and par

ex -pugilist was one Of the spectacular features
OF the moving picture, and the thicknecked eN-
sailor enjoyed the notoriety equally as much as
the other pugilistic poser, James J. Corbett.
would have done. Sharkey drives little yellow
trotter, and he does it in manner TO attract all
possible attention. Sharkey drove up and down
the Speedway yesterday with chip upon his
shoulder, and his challenge for brushes was ac-
oepted several times The result always
the same, for. not unlike his way in his pu-
gilstic career. he was invariably beaten. Shar-
key drives IN a Wild Western fashion duplicated
by nobody else on the Speedway. When coming
down the road al any speed. one and sometimes
both arms are high above his head He yells
and swings the reins in frantic fashion, and
more than one onlooker has compared the gen.
eral spectacle with that of an animated gorilla.
The farmers turn and stare, and even the city
folk smirk, and Sharkey has accomplished his
object.

those who saw Harvard play Pennsylvania a
fortnight before the Yale game could not see
that the Crimson had the slightest possibility
Of success. Yet Harvard showed Yale under

surance at present is that the material at Cam
bridge while not equal TO that of 1901 is still
quite respectable. Yale is more afraid of Prince

show whether this view is justified or not

Poor Columbia has gone badly to pieces from
a most promising beginning Even Pennsylva-
mia has been able to take her measure and to
take it thoroughly. Pennsylvania has improved
peTceptibly since the time when she was beaten
by Brown. but she is far from being in a posi-
ton TO claim much class. and she will almost
surely be defeated by Harvard next Saturday

1t is learned that the Yale coaches think the
line will be positively the strongest In Yale foot
bali history, and they are not worrying about
the backheld. for they think that the next two
weeks will mould II into a fast and powerful
combination There is no Perry Hale for full
back. but Bowman and Farmer are good steady
ground gamers. and Ward is one Of the best
hafhacks Yale has had in years. Metcalf at
quarter is as yet slow in getting the plays run
on, but he catches punts surely, and is nearly
as clever as De Saulles al getting through a
broken field. All last week the coaches ham
merec the team hard, and it is possible that
tht IT showing in Saturdays game suffered from
this heavy work. For several days more this
hard drill Will continue. Then Holt Kinney
Hogan and Shevlin, at least who seems to be
thoroughly tired out will be given several days
Of almost complete rest before the Prince+on

A careful analysis of Princeton's game against
Cornell on Saturday gives little ground for the
belief that. unless she shows great improve
rnent, she will be able to cope with Yale on No
vembeT 10. There is even room for Doubt
whether she would have beaten Cornell without
the aid Of De Witt. This big guard not only
dropped two goals from the field. which ac-
counted for all the points scored, but the way
In which he outpunted Brewster made it poss
bic for Princeton to advance the ball so far that
goals from the field became practicable. The
only other means by which Princeton got within
striking distance of Cornels goal was Foulkes

verbal that elevens are frequently entirely

the final fortnight, but Yale'S material seems

IL is not easy TO see how the New-Jersey coaches

IL may be taken for granted that De Witt will

game. II will be fast and furious line battering

equal TO the Gordon Brown aggregation the
Tigers cannot hope to win.
