HOGAN FOR CAPTAIN.

New Haven, Nov 16.-Yale's foot ball warriors had very quiet Sab- bath. The entire campus was as hushed as death. There are a few Princeton enthusiasts still in town and they haven't tired of celebrating. Yale feels terribly sore in mind and body over the defeat of Saturday. Mike Murphy said last night: "There is nothing to say. It is only babies that take a chance to squeal when they are beaten. The time to talk about such things is next year. The men are all sore, as is only natural after a cham pionship game" Bloomer is the worst injured of the varsity squad. He sprained his right foot and there was doubt expressed last night whether he would be able to play in the Harvard game next Saturday. His battered shoulder is all right. Not man was free from some sign of the battering they went through Saturday when the varsity squad went to the training table for supper last night. Captain Rafferty, who was out of his mind during part of the game was not at supper with the rest of the squad. Hogan, Mitchell and Metcalf were also absent. It was stated last night that the next captain of the Yale team would be Jim Hogan. Hl.

\ PRINCETON Is HAPPY.

Princeton. N. J., Nov 16.-Nearly all of the Orange and Black football team returned to Princeton yesterday and with the exception of Kafer, who has a severely wrenched shoulder, all the men are in good shape. The superb physical condition of the men in the game on Saturday was a very import ant factor in achieving victory for Princeton and has brought out good deal of merfted praise for Trainer Robinson. That his methods are su- perior to those of Mike Murphy is cas- fly seen by comparing the fitness of the two elevens and their powers of endurance Yale went to pieces tow
 ard the last of the game, while tho Ti- gers put up about as strong a game then as at any time in the contest. There is no doubt that Jim Robinson can be the Orange and Black trainer just as long as he cares to hold the place. The election of. football cap tain for next year will probably be held this week. The choice will be made from Kafer, Short or Foulke All three men have done fine work this season. Although Foulke was unable to enter the Yale game on Saturday on account of in- julies 1t is nevertheless believed that this will not make any difference in Foulke's chances for the captaincy and 1t is thought by many here that he will lead the Tiger forces next fall.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
South Norwalk. tomorrow night.

South Norwalk tomorrow night.
 The Washington Hills and the Mat itatucks will play the preliminary tatucks will play the preliminary game tomorrow night.
 Some of the local players say they received a pretty rough deal down in New Haven Saturday night. They do not kick very much about it, however, but will await the appearance of New Haven in this city to square up at counts. u-
 The strong South Norwalk team will make its first appearance in this city tomorrow evening and good game can be expected. The Waterbury team is out to win all the games this week and the players will make a big hus- tie to do the trick.
 Some team ought to get in front of Meriden and stop her, or she will be running wild after few more wins. 1t must be strange thing for Meri- den to make a runaway race for the pennant, but there will come a fall some day and perhaps Waterbury will be the one to do 1t.
 With Billy Reed and "Kid' Abadie, two of the crack members of the champion Twenty-third street. New York team, in the game of basketball at Foot Guard hall tomorrow night, Hartford will present a strong lineup against the New Haven Blues. Reed and Abadie are declared to be two of the fastest basketball men in the country, and with Tim Koran, Billy Oakes George Dorman and John Shee- han, Manager Jennings has apparently rounded up a crack. quintet to repre- sent the city in the American associa- ton. AS the people of Hartford be- come more familiar with, the game, the attendance is increasing, and the sport bids fair to become popular winter pastime. A new score board will be used at the gome for the 6rst time. Hartford Courant.

THE pUG1L1srs.
Jack o'Brien's Reception Across the
 ,., Water.

Tommy West, the Louisville light weight who recently returned from England, is anxfos to get into action and is desirous of meeting "Kid' Mo Fadden in a limited-round bout be- fore one of the Boston clubs. West is under the management of Thomas A. Fullane, who also looks after the interests of Tommy Gilfeather and George Fields.
 Charley Lampey of Canning Town, who is heralded by English sportsmen as the coming bantam champion of England, got another chance the oth- CT night to show what material he is made of. He met George Dixon in a six-round bout. The scrap was at catchweights. Lampey hustled the ex-champion all through the bout, and Dixon was apparently satisfied when the referee decided the mill draw.
 Clarence Forbes. brother of the for mer bantamweight champion, Harry Forbes, and "Kid'' Herman, both of Chicago, and Billy Stiff and "Dia- mond Dick" the stock yards champion will be the principals in double put gilistic bill of fare to be served to its patrons by the Watita club of Chicago tonight. Forbes and Herman are to weigh in at 12S pounds, while Stft and the stock yards man will meet at catch weights, both sealing 1n the neichborhood of 15S pounds. This IS a rattling good card and some lively boxing may be expected.
 The night before Jack O'Brienb of Philadelphia left England for America his British friends gave him farewell dinner. The affair was private ana was a success. Tn the course of a speech O'Brien said that he was sorry to leave as he had received such fine treatment, but assured his hearers that he would return to England in the near future. "L am going to try to get on q fight with Tommy Ryan or Bob Fitzsimmons," he said. If l succeed. and whether win or lose will probably come back and spend the remainder of my days in this country. I'm sorry that you haven't many good fellows here in my class, but I suppose one will come along some day who will take my laurels." {"
 The principal item of importance anent the doings of the American pu- gilists abroad, is the news of the de- feat of George Justice, the fourth ward, New York fighter, who went to England several months ago. Justice, although clever boxer, was not re- garded as in championship line here, but since he went to the other side his success at his adopted profession has been wonderful. He has engaged in dozen battles, winning nearly every one, and many predicted that he woul l win the lightweight title of England before he returned home. Justice met Spike Robson of South Shields on Oc- tober 31, at New Castle in a twenty round mill at 133 pounds. The bout went the limit. and Robson was de- clared the winner.

 By an ingenious device a visible and ocular demonstration can be given of the fact that nerve has the power to convey 8 message of sensitiveness 1t at any intervening part of the nerve @ galvanometer be attached, and the end of the nerve be pinched or other wise irrttated, then immediately the needle of the galvanometer will be de- hected--thus showing that the irrita- tion of the nerve causes current like that of electricity to be sent along it. It is upon this fact (now well known to scientists) that Prof. Bose bases his investigations,
 He starts" as explained by A. Sa- rath Kumar Ghosh, in an article on life In Metsls," which he contributes to Pearson,s, from that known fact namely, that a galvanometer can re- veal the sensitiveness of animal mat ter to external irritation--and makes a series of experiments on bars of diff ferent metals, to ascertain if they, also, will respond to similar irritation, and if that response can be made vis- ibly manifest in like manner by means of the galvanometer. The results he obtains are startling.
 The first result is that all metals show visible signs of sensitiveness un- der irritation, such as twisting or tap- ping, exactly In the same manner as animal muscles and nerves do---the greater the irritation, the greater the visible signs of sensitiveness. Nay, more; every single peculiarity in the irritability of animal matter is exact ly reproduced in the case Of 1netal.'s

 manner in which the ball shall be put in play, the new rules distinctly state that the ball must be touched by center man before 1t can go into play, otherwise it must be returned to the referee and thrown up second time On free throws tor fouls, it has been customary for a member of the team which has the free throw to stand underneath or at one side of the basket, while his team-mate throws the ball, hitting the rim of the basket and having the ball carom off into the players hands underneath the basket. and in many cases the player has been successful in scoring goal in this manner. Tn order to prevent such tricks the rules for 1908 cover this point, and the latter part of section 13, rule x., says: The ball shall not be thrown to another player; an honest attempt must be made to cage it; if the ball Is caromed to another player and he succeeds in throwing a goal it shall not be counted. Whether the goal is made or missed the ball shall be thrown up at the center. The referee makes the decision on this rule. Beyond the above changes the rules are practically the same as last year. There are few minor changes, but nothing that will cause change in the game in any way. George T. Hep bron, secreary of the National Amateur Athletic union basket ball committee, is one of the committee which drew up the new rules.

THE JUDGES SMILE.
Saved Young Lawyer Who Had Stage Fright on First Appearance Be-
 fore Court of Appeals.

A noted justice of the New York court of appeals recently addressed the, students of law at Columbia. Among other personal "reminiscences the justice told them of his first case. The New York World tells the story:
 remember. said he, the first case argued before the court of appeals. That is a great time in a young law yers career. I worked on that tirst case with great energy. Night and day l labored, and the night before the trial I walked up and down in the old Delavan house, making my speech over and over again. The next morn ing. weak from the strain, entered the courtroom all but worn out. Above me on the bench sat seven judges. All around were lawyers. Then I experi- enced what might be termed stage fright, and could not utter word.
 Justice Church suddenly raised his head, smiled and, looking at me with his great, kind eyes, said: "Now sir. will you state your. case?"
 That kindness saved me. But did not say what I intended. Instead of the hours address. I said: Your honors, the point is this," and then | went on with my case. In 15 minutes l had ended, and had won.
 For IT years that act on the part of Justice Church has been in my memory, and | try to emulate him. Whenever young lawyer comes Into the court of appeals I look up from my paper and smile encouragement.
