 The Elm Athletic club football team reorganized last night and put in an hour and a half of hard practice, af- ter which they elected Martin McDon- aid captain and James A. White manager They have games sched- uled with most of the crack teams of the state, and issue a challenge to any football team in Connecticut, the St Thomas Cadets and Co A pre- ferred. The Films are strengthened this season by the addition of several new men, among whom are Jack Woodruff of the crack Lawrence, Mass, team, and McNally, a former tackle on the Windsor High school. The Films are fortunate in having one of the foremost football coaches. in. inc country in Jack Ivan, who played Dn the champion Y. M, c. A. team and who explained the Villanova college team for three seasons. MT Egan, having graduated from Villanova last spring, intends staying in Waterbury This season, and expects to develop a strong team in the Elms, as his know ledge and experience in football and other athletic work has placed him high in authority upon this subject; he was appointed head coach and di- rector of athletics while at Villanova last season.

 Football is the all expressing topic at Holy Cross at present, and the sue cess of the 1902 team is being eagerly anticipated by students, coaches and players. There has been nothing ob- streperous in the method in which the coaches have gone about getting a good eleven and consequently little so far has been heard from the wearers of the purple. Expectations are bright for a successful season, however, and there are keen hopes that when Thanksgiving day comes H. o. will have won a great majority of it's sched- tiled games.
 Several of last years star players have graduated and though there is no dearth of new material, it is going to be task to whip it into suitable form. This is. especially true as regards the dine, and last years heavyweights promise to be succeeded by lighter ma ferial. The backs and ends are all these again and have already demon Strated their fitness.
 The team has been particularly un- III lnO uuIQO0E OI dCC1QGQIS that some of the fastest men have suf. fered- Carney. one of the tackles, is suffering from blood-poiSoning: Bald win, captain has a sprained ankiEA and 1segan, a back. has broken leg. But with endorsements of high school players, new men from Mt St Mary's college, Boston college, St Francis Xavier's college, New 1ork: St Jos. eph's college, Philadelphia, and mum Der of preparatory schools, in addition to last years subs, it is thought by Head Coach Connor of Harvard's '97 team that an eleven as strong as 1901,s will represent Holy Cross on the field.
 Work has been progressing on the new field since June and is may be possible to use it for N&otbaH during the latter part of the season. It will be one of the largest and most up to date fields among the eastern colleges when completed

 Ithaca, Oct 7.-It was a day or sur prises and sweeping changes on tn, Cornell gridiron yesterday, and, judg ing from the coaches attitude, n, man on the eleven can feel sure of hi position. Following a forty minut exercise, in which the varsity wer kept in one spot on defence while tn big scrub backs. changed now an' then by the addition of new one hammered the line, came the snappi est lineup of the year.
