FINAL WORK FOR BIG GAME.
Yale and Harvard Ready for Satur-
davis Gridiron Battle.

With the time honored war dance around
a bonfire composed of discarded parts OIL
uniforms and armor kindled on the srld-
iron. the Yale foot ball eleven took it's final
practice before the Harvard game yester-
day afternoon on Yale Field.
Led by Captain Rafferty,. twenty-one
seniors of the scrub Joined hands and
danced in a circle, singing Here's to Good
Old Yale" They also cheered for Field
Coach G. B. Chadwick, Trainer Michael Z.
Murphy. Captain Rafferty, and for Yale
In the dance were only three regular play
ers, Rafferty,. Mitchell and Metcalf, the
only ones who from present Indications Will
not return next year.
The public. including the university stu
dents, was kept outside the gates for an
hour and a half while four elevens were
sent through signal drill on the formations.
There was no lineup scrimmage work.
Considerable drill was given all of the
backs in catching the ball and running back
puI1tS.
1t was learned that fumbling again
too FREQUENT to reaSSure the coaches that
detriment to Yale's play on Saturday
Shevln'S looks indicate that he is out of
condition. His usual healthy glow is lack
ing and he could run only with painful eff
forts. The other men look much improved
but all of them still have serious bruises
and weak spots.
Harvard took its last hard practice yes
terday on the home grounds in preparation
for the big struggle with Yale next Satur-
day. Light work will be in order. and every
attempt is to be made to keep the men in
the best mental and physical condition pos
sible until it is time for the eleven to jog
to the field on Saturday afternoon
Captain Marshall announced yesterday
that the lineup against Yale would in all
proba ability be the same as against the
Quakers. This means that Clothier will be
kept at left end and Mills will not be put in
the position, as was rumored.
Yesterday one change was made of some
significance. when Burgess. who has been
playing at right end, was shifted to the left
side and played substitute to Clothier. The
latter's work was SO weak in the Pennsyl-
vania and Dartmouth games that the col
lege has little confidence in him. and con-
tends that as strong player as Mills, who
played in the place last fall, should not be
kept on the side lines as a substitute to
SchoelkOpf at full.
Neither Meier, LIE Moyne nor Bowditch
got into the scrimmage. but it was stated
by "Scotty" MacMasters that Meier would
unquestionably be able to get into the game
Saturday.

Il was never arrested before. but I stole
because 1 was hungry and hadn't had any
thing to eat for two days." was the state
ment made by Windsor Ballou, seventy
three years old. when he was arraigned in
the United States branch of the Police
Court today on a charge of theft
The defendant. Judge Scott was informed.

AS 18th street northwest. yesterday after

That lady invited him into the kitchen.
where she gave him meal. After the
visitor left Mrs. Tassin discovered that
her pocket book. containing 81 cents. which
was on table in the dining room when
Ballou called. was missing. The matter
was reported to the police and Ballou was
arrested later in the day by Policemen
Mullen and Lee.
The defendant told the court that his
home was at Albany. N. Y, and that he
left there several weeks ago. Agent Mas
sic of the Prisoners Aid Society interested
himself in the man am promised to send
him to Albany. He was released on his
personal bonds.

WITH THE WHISPERS.
New Whist Club Merged With Chess

The meeting held on the 18th instant for
the purpose of organizing whist club for
men was well attended, and the interest
displayed proved to be greater than was

tackle. In the scrimmage which followed
Western in some unaccountable manner
lost the ball. and Cunningham seeing an
opportunity grabbed 1t and raced down the
field for touchdown. There was great
deal of kickingi Over this play. Captain
Church declaring that the referee had
blown the whistles and that the ball was
dead. The claim, however was not allowed
and Cunningham proceeded to try for
goal which he failed to make Score:
Western, @: Central 5.
Kipp kicked to- the fve-yard line, and
Talent advanced it fifteen yards before
Snow downed him Then Church gained
the line for four more. One of the Indian
tricks was tried by Western, and Morse was
pulled through the line by Church and Tai
lent for eight yards. Harrington tried a
cross-buck at the line, and made five yards.
and then Morse and Rittenhouse carried it
five yards furtherstC entrafs line held pretty
well in the next two plays and Western
had one yard to gain on the last down. In
stead of kicking. Morse was sent through
right tackle, and he made two yards Then
Church and Fletcher added four yards
EACH which Rittenhouse increased to seven
by again breaking through right tackle.
Talent was sent through the line for two
yards. but was hurt in the mix-up, and
gave way to Rayennell who added an addi-
tional ten yards on a line play 1t was evil
dent that CentralS line was weakening and
western took advantage of it and sent her
backs through for successive gains until
the ball rested on the Central five-yard line
when the whistle blew for the end of the
game.
For Central Cox, Kipp, Kelly and Snow
did the bulk of the work, but the team as
1t played yesterday was no match in any
particular for the boys who PLAYED for
Western.

WINTER GOLF.
Temporary Greens to Be Used in This
Vicinity Until Next Season.

After next week golfers VINO desire u
continue in form during the winter sea-
son will be obliged to play on FLORIDA INKS.
as the active season in this vicinity VIII
practically close with the Thanksgiving fix
lures All of the local courses, however,
will remain open all winter.
Temporary greens Will be used lnStead VI
the regular summer greens in order TO give
the members the advantage of enjoying
the favorite sport when the weather per-
mitS
The Chevy Chase, Columbia and Wash
fneton clubs courses remain good the en-
tire year and it is only heavy fall OF
snow which puts the links out of commits
sion in the winter and it seldom lasts more
than a week or ten days at time.
The regular set events do not often oc-
cur during the winter months. owing to the
unsettled condition of the weather, put
sy,eepstake handicaps are liable TO pc play
ed almost any Saturday, while during the
week there is preliminary play and private
matches almost every fine day
All the local courses are now In excel
lent condition, and the club members nave
been taking advantage of the mild weather,
as they seem to rather prefer the exercise
and enjoyment of social play to the excite
ment and annoyance or tournament play,
and it is not common occurrence TO see L
course overcrowded with players In prac-
tice and social matches when there is no
regular competition of any description being
held In fact, the American golfers are
beginning to ENJOY the game as IL Is piaseo
abroad.
The green committee OF the Chevy Chase
Club has modified the program for the wo-
mans handicap match, to be played next
Monday The change in the program is
that women may play eighteen holes either
in the morning or afternoon The score COR
the first eighteen holes played will be the
one the committee will consider in deter
mining the winners.
Much activity is still shown by the cluos
in the vicinity of Boston. The Myopia
Hunt Club. at Hamilton. which has one of
the finest eIghteen-hole courses in the coun-
try and the one most admired by the Ok
ford and Cambridge teams of golfers, keeps
its course open all the year round, and the
greens on the course are left uncovered
until snow flies in earnest
The regular devotees of the sport can I've
seen on the course each day while it re-
mains in a playable condition. The forma-
ton of the Massachusetts, Golf Association
last spring seemed to put new life in the
golfers of the east. and all the leading
clubs of that organization have regular
scheduled club events up to and including
Thanksgiving day. when over twenty clubs
will hold club competitions.
Next season H. Chandler Egan will be
captain of the Harvard team. and his en-

Refused 100000 for a Horse.

Barney Schneider. master of Woodlands.
near st. Louis, one of the most celebrated
breeding farms in the western country. has
refused an offer of 100000 for imp. Sain.
his chief stallion. The offer was made by
Capt. Sam Brown. the well-known Pitts
burg turfman, who owns a farm In Ken
lucky.
Capt. Brown recently started negotiations
for the purchase of the great English stall
lion. Ard Patrick, but the animals sale to
the Russian government nipped the deal in
the bud. Capt. Brown then sought out
Barney Schneider and made a cash offer of
$780, 900 for imp. Sain, but Barney refused
even to consider 1t. Since then he has had
the stallion insured for $50 900, the premium
Oh which is $50 per month. Imp. SaIn is
recognized as one of the greatest stations
in America. He has sired a majority of the
racers in the Schneider string.
