but the New Haven eleven counted without it's host when it passed over one man-John/ R. Dewitt, captain of the Tiger eleven and playing right guard. Through his individual ability, stamp ing him probably the greatest individual gridiron hero of the season, he turned seeming defeat into glorious victory over old Nassau, the first victory over old Ell for the Tigers since '99, when Poe won the game for the Tigers by kick ing field goal from the same spot De- witt kicked his Dewitt has been foot ball player ever since he grew large enough to play the game. In his high school and academy days he played the game, and at Lawrenceville academy, where he prepared for Princeton, he was captain of the team. He entered Prince ton in 1900 and played guard a part of the season on the eleven, but was in- jured early and retired. Since that time he has been one of the regulars, playing right tackle in 1901, but returning to the guard position in 1902. He proved the mainstay of the Tigers. Last fall he was unanimously elected captain of the eleven. He is 8 giant in physique, standing six feet one inch tall and weighing 195 pounds. He is 22 years old. Even though the new rules had not favored the development of the kick ing game, Dewitt has been recognized as one of the best drop kickers in the coun- try It was through his ability in this department of the game that he was able to wrest victory from the Blues. Princeton's victory places the Tigers at the head of the list of football elevens in the country. Yale is put out of the running by this defeat and Harvard was beaten by a secondary team like Dartmouth With the Yale game Prince ton closed it's season. The Tigers played a wonderful game all season and had not been scored on by any of their op- ponents until Hogan made touchdown for Yale. Dewitt's aggregation has not been a great scoring machine and has made lower scores against some of the secondary teams than Harvard and Yale made against the institutions, but the Tigers have been consistent at all times. playing steadily, with the one purpose in view of beating Yale.

BASKETBALL.
American League Is Thing of the
 Past

Past. ...
 The Connecticut basketball league is a thing of the past; the sport could not be made to pay in this state, and as a consequence the league is dis banded. This decision was reached at a meeting of the directors of the four remaining teams in the league, which was held at the Garde hotel yesterday afternoon. The teams represented were New Haven, New Britain, Meri- den and Bridgeport. The meeting was a short one, the directors feeling that there was no use maintaining the sport when the public took so little in terest in it. Plans were discussed to have the league continued with two games played each week, but it was thought this would not be any more successful than the present plan.
 One of the best and most exciting basketball games of the season was played ill the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium on Saturday night. The opposing teams were the Business Men and the Moni- tors. The play was fast and snappy. Both teams wanted the game and wanted 1t badly. Nip and tuck the struggle continued from the beginning to the end. Brilliant individual work and clever team work kept the enthust- asm of the spectators on edge. The game Ragged not for & moment. Owing to it's fastness there was some rough ness; but this only increased the inter est and excitement. No matter what supreme effort either team would make 1latyx pebitor. When the game was over it was seen that the Business Men had won by one point, 1T to 16 The large number of spectators voted 1t the best game of the season. The lineup and summar follow:
 Monitors Business Men. Selby Capt .. center ... W. Curtis A. Nichols .. forward r. J. Curtis Johnson !. ;. :, forward. .AIarggraff (Capt) Hayes ....... guard ..... Mangeno Spiers, F. Nichols. guard :. .Sanderson

A LARGE ATTENDANCE.
New York Club Makes Fine Showing r Oh E'Ladies' Day."

On ''LadAes Day"
 NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-EIsur thousand members of the fair sex temporarily took possession of the handsome home of the New York Athletic club upon the occasion Of the fifty-second ''ladies' day" of the organization. From noon till night they trooped from top to bot tom of the clubhouse.
 For the first time in the history of the present edifice the programme pre- sented was essentially of a sporting nature, the athletic and aquatic events standing out prominently, leaving the musicale a side issue.
 In the natatorium the clubs big team or swimming experts gave proof posi- tive of their speed in sprint, hurdle and relay races of both scratch and handicap nature.
 The race for members sons aroused a deal of interest and developed some clever work by the youngsters. Four heats and final were. necessary, the race ultimately being won by P. II. Hoffman, who had eighteen seconds handicap. B. l.. r. Burnham was sec ond and H. Boker third. #
 In the hundred yard invitation handi- cap the spectators were treated to surprise by one of the junior members, c. w Daniels, who in the final gained the lead at fifty yards and held it to the end, winning somewhat easily from G. W. Van Cleaf, who conceded him one second start. The rather ludicrous hurdle race was taken by J. A. Buddy, who beat L. De B. Hand ley and E. E. Wenck in decisive fash ion

 for long winter discussions to settle. The lines of comparison between Min nesota and Michigan are furnished by the game in which they met at Minneap- oils and in comparative scores as fur nished by Wisconsin. The game at Minneapolis resulted in tie, 6 to 6. Against Wisconsin Michigan made IS points, scoring one touchdwon and two field goals while Minnesota made 17 points on three touchdowns, from two of which goals were kicked. The fact that Chicago, which defeated Wisconsin l5 to on three field goals, was defeated by Michigan 28 to 0, furnishes another chance for speculation. Coach Williams, of Minnesota, maintains that in the game at Minneapolis his team gained more ground than Michigan, and thatt three touchdowns, against Wisconsin show more strength than Michigan's one touchdown and two field goals He says: "So far as comparisons go, it seems to me that three touchdowns against Wisconsin on Wisconsin's own field certainly entities Minnesota to be placed above Michigan, as they only made one touchdown and two goals from the field on their own grounds at Ann Arbor against Wisconsin" Coach Yost, on the other hand, says that the long trip fof the Michigan team to Min neapolis and the early date should be considered in connection with the Min neapolis tie. He thinks that the Michi- gan team did not show its true strength until the Thanksgiving day struggle with Chicago.
 'fThe whole seasons work should be considered in deciding the ranking of the teams" says Yost, "and it strikes me that Michigan's showing is fully as good as that of Minnesota. The fact that Minnesota met Wisconsin after the Badgers had been through three hard games should not be overlooked, and the point that Chicago, which won from Wisconsin by within two points of Min nesota's score, has been defeated by us 28 to 0 is significant"

JOHN F. SCOTT
DIED WEDNESDAY

John F. Scott, whose desperate con-
dition was reported in yesterdays Ad-
yertiser, uied at 5 o'clock the same
morning, at his home in Prospect
street. =,
Mr.. Scott was widely known as an
educator and he was popular in social
circles. Many years ago he taught
the public school at Waimea, Kauai,
and later was principal of the school
at waianae, Oahu. He succeeded the
late w. Jas. Smith as secretary of the
Board of Education, and in following
regimes served as an inspector and
again as a teacher.
Four years ago Mr.. Scott sustained
stroke of paralysis and was near
deaths door then, but rallied and took
a prolonged vacation in the United
States. He had lighter attack after
returning home and recovered so far
as to be able to take daily walks out
doors. Only a few days ago he was
taking such exercise. Then the final
stroke came and speedily brought the
afflicted man to his end.
Mr.. Scott was about fifty years of
age, an American citizen born, and
leaves a wife to mourn his loss. The
funeral will take place from Harmony
hall, under the auspices of Harmony
Lodge, I. o. o. F., at $3.50 p. m. today
