ON THE GRIDIR0N


tice is being held every night this
week and the players are indulging in
hard work. Since Monday night the
team has had the benefit of the coach
ing of Mr. McCabe of Holyoke. who
played center on the Holy Cross col
lege team last year.
The st Thomas Cadets football
team will be minus the services of one
of their best players in their game
with the Co A football team on
Thanksgiving day for the Champion
ship of the city. 'sWhite" Reilly,
a part of the thumb of his left hand
cut off this morning shortly after 5
o'clock while cutting off cars in the
freight yard of the Naugatuck divis-
ion of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad. The injury, which
was a very painful one was dressed
by DR. Crane. It will keep Reilly out
of the game and the Cadets can i'll af-
ford to lose such a good player.
Captain Francis Hoffman of the st
Thomas Cadets football team thinks
that an injustice has been done him by
"a published interview with a local
football manager, which has appeared
in a local paper. In the course of the
interview the manager stated that.
Hoffman was playing with the Co A
football team for just what he could
get out of it. The captain of the Ca
diets denies this statement and says
that he never received cent of money
for playing with the Co A or any 9TH
er football team. He played with
the Go A team against the Naugatucks
just for the sport of it. He didn't
get a cent for his services.
The Merrimac football team will
play the strong Torrington 7. A. b
team at the Driving park on Sunday
afternoon at 3 o'clock. This will be
good game to see. Both teams have
been playing fine game this season
and are now in good condition. That
Torrington has good aggregation of
football players has been shown by
the fact that the Naugatucks, who de
feated the Co A team by a score of
l2-5, was unable to defeat them. They
played two games with the Rubber
City boys and no score was made by
either team in either game. ANY
body who has seen the Merrimacs
play this season knows that thew have
lot of fast players. The season is
drawing to an end and football en-
thusiasts will have but one or two
more opportunities of witnessing such
an interesting contest on the gridiron
this season as the above game prom
ises to be.
New Haven, Nov 2O.-What little
betting there was here last niahf On
the football game was. 5 to 3 on Yale.
One who is near to the Yale football
management said last night that Yale
ought to put up a stronger game
against Harvard than she did against
Princeton, for the team was in better.
condition than week ago. He looked
for score of Is to O, certainly u to
~. Charles Gould, captain of last
years Yale team, said Yale should win
IS to o.
Last night there was only one office
opened here where spectators made
their headquarters. The head of the
establishment said he had $50 tickets
for the game that he bought from stu
dents for from So to So. He was ask
ing $40 a ticket and there were some
purchasers. The Yale football man
agement adopted new plan this year
to head off ticket speculation as much
as possible. On the front of every
| ticket sold has been written the name
of the applicant for the ticket If any
/ of these tickets reaches the specula-
tors. the football officials, by the aid
of a detective system, ascertains the
4 name written on the tickets. In case
tickets are found in the hands of the
spectators names of the men to whom
they belonged will be entered on the
4 homogeneous books and these men
win be debafred from applying fol
tickets in the future, both before and
after graduating. The Yale Daily
News yesterday made strong appeal
/ to the students not to let their tickets
get into the hands of the spectators
There is big howl in the town from
! Yale men against the charges which
the local hackmen will make for carry
/ ing people to the game. The price is
now S25. Never before in the history
/ of the New York and New Haven road
lit was stated at the New Haven termi
nal to-day. has there been as many
! special trains run here in day to Q
/ football game, at least, as will be the
case on Saturday. AT last accounts
twenty-three special trains had beer
provided for, and the returns have moi
all come in yet.
i Syracuse, N. z, Nov 20.-No one
here thinks that Ned Glass, the Yale
guard, ever received money for playing
football. While he was member OF
the Syracuse university team the only
other team of prominence in the city
was the Syracuse Athletic association
team, and no member of that organiza
ton ever received cent for his ser
vices. What is more important, Glas:
. was not a member of that team. The
other teams in Syracuse at that time
were the High School team, the Forty
first Separate company team and thu
Danforth Athletic team. Careful in
vestigation shows that Glass never
played on any of these teams.
After the football season CLOSED
some of the university men organized
under. the name of the Orange A. G
and played Watertown. Glass was ad
Ivertised to play, but did not, anothe
man using his name and playing Thi
was done for purposes of advertising
Syracuse university authorities are ia
miliar with every stage of Glass's ca
IreeT and will stand by him to the last
