PROMOTERS GREEN AND DWYER
TALK OF PROPOSED RAIL WAYS.

Charles Green. a real estate man, who is
the acknowledged promoter of the Broad
way and Laclede avenue elevated railroad
bill. has been identified with the promotion
of local transportation facilities for thirty
years, and his connection with ST. Louis
street railroads ceased only three years ago
when the final consolidation of surface
roads was effected.
At various times he has been connected
with elevated railroad schemes. In regard
to the bill introduced at his request yester-
day by Councilman Horton. when seen last
night at his home, No 1741 Longfellow bou-
levard. he admitted that he had evolved the
plan and was interested in its success.
Engineers have gone over the proposed
routes" said he. and pronounced them
feasible. 1t is proposed to first construct
the line to Forest Park, tapping the Worlds
Fair site; then to build along Broadway,
though work would be in progress on both
lines a the same time.
Our plan has no connection with that
of Messrs. Erd and Dwyer. nor was there
any intention to get our bill before the
Council as soon as or before the other.
CAPITAL IS SECURED
FROM EASTERN INVESTORS.
"Our capital will be furnished from the
East altogether. Four men only are inter
ested thus far. L am unable to give their
names at present, but can say tnat three
are New Workers, and that the other is
from Philadelphia. One of them ranks
among the three or four richest men in
the United States, and the four are able to
supply all the money necessary to put
through all that the bill asks.
I'm the event that the franchise is grant
ed, work will be commenced as soon as
possible. There is no franchise specula-
ton connected with the scheme. 1t is to
stand on its merits.
1.-The plan is an old one which I have
been endeavoring to shape out for some
time. Every detail has been carefully ccl-
sidered. Recently an engineer, representing
the -four Eastern men l have mentioned, was
in the city. He went over the proposed
routes. made notes, and, returning to New
York, made a favorable report.
Il do not see that obstacles exist to cb-
tanning right-of-way for an elevated rail-
road along streets at present occupied by
Transit Company tracks Their franchise
provides for surface lines alone.

CORNELL FEELS SURE OF VICTORY

Carlisle Indians and Princeton put a damper on

will beat Pennsy'' by large score next Thursday.
Much surprise has been occasioned by the light
practice which has been held on the OF one OF
Cornells most important annual contests. Not one
day IN the last week has the full eleven been
the field to take part in a scrimmage. This was to
be expected for a day after the Lafayette game.

coaches policy is the right Their theory seems

HARVARD BLAMES COACHING SYSTEM.
COMPLAINT OF FARLEY'S METHODS FOL-
LOWS THE DEFEAT
RI TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

Cambridge. Mass, Nov 2S.-Harvard's defeated
football eleven arrived IN Cambridge from New
Haven at 9 o'clock this morning to meet with
silence the sympathetc handshakes Of their
friends All OF the men out Of the contest in
fairly good shape. A Marshall has bruised face
the result Of HIS experiences against Glass: Mills
has a lane ankle and Bowditch is not quite the
jolly fellow that he before that last daz-
ing blow IN the second half. With these exceptions
the players stood the gruelling struggle exception
ally we'll.
Harvard. OF course. is plunged into the deepest
gloom and detection. The Harvard Union to-day
forsaken the grave The training table
was discontinued. not a football player showing up
during the entire day. Students stayed In their
rooms, and there. for another time. went over tho
sorrowful story OF tho game.
Harvard's players, without exception. agree that
Yale won the game fairly and sQuarely on her
merits. 1t was case OF tho better team coming
out ahead. they all say. I'VE simply couldn't stop
them" one OF the Crimson boys admitted That's
the whole story
Probably the happiest man In Cambridge to-
day If II is possible for any one here TO be happy
when Harvard loses. IS ''Scotty'' MacMasters. the
veteran trainer. He certainly cannot be blamed IN
better condition than any Crimson eleven had ever
been before, and the team lost simply because II
could not play football so well Yale. That the
failed In this respect IS due evidently 10 the
lack OF proper coaching. Harvard had weight, ex
pounos hesVttr 70 me man IMAM 1aIe s. and with
nucleus or hve men at the seasons start there
eleven
Little is said about the coaching system bpt
many men, especially those who have lost heavily
the team, feel that things were not carried on
the way they should have been. Harvard men feel
moro and mora each year that they have a right
to know the strength of the team thew are sIID-
porting; and this is one Of the things denied them
this fall Farley believed in secret practice-n
concealing the real condition of things and de-
ceiving even Harvard men concerning the real
progress OF their team. For this reason he kept
the interchange of Barnard and Marshall for two
weeks a secret, and announced publicly that he
would depend upon simple straight formations
Captain Herman said after the contest that Har-
ward had many trick plays up her sleeve which
she did not get n chance to work Men whose
names were not found in the daily lineup came out
each afternoon from behind the big fence on Sol
diers Field perspring and grimy and other things
of a mysterious nature were done
