bia looks to be quite as clever and
speedy a quarter as Rockwell of Yale,
and Metcalf Yale's famous end run
ner, is perhaps equalled by Metzenthin
of Columbia.
Princeton will line up against Cornell
this year confident of winning, The
Tigers are much better in both defence
and offence than they were last year,
and play faster and surer game. 1t
was De Wits great drop-kicking abil
ity thar enabled the Tigers to beat the
Ithacans 10 to 0 last year.
The Tigers need not rely entirely
upon De Witt to win for them in the
coming battle. The Tigers showed in
the contests with Brown University
Bucknell and the Indians that they
were strong on rushing the ball, and
that their comparatively light line
could put up a first-class defence. Cor
nell could only defeat Bucknell by a
score of to 0. Against the same team
the Tigers easily rolled up a total of II
points, and but for the fumbling of the
center men the score would have beea
considerably larger. The Comedians
say that the scores against Bucknell
cannot be fairly compared, as Cornell
played Bucknen during heavy rain
storm that drenched the players to the
skin.

The Princeton coaches, however, are
sure that they can hammer Short and
Waller into fairly good center men be-
fore next Saturday.
The Harvard team has shown such
| great Improvement during the past
week that the adherents Of the crimson
are almost cheerful over the outlook for
! the Pennsylvania and Yale games. In
| view of the fact that the Yale team IS
| evidently not as strong as the one that
so easily walloped the crimson last fall
the Cambridge students are beginning
to feel that they have just a chance of
getting the best of the Ellis on Nov. q.
The fact that the game will take place
| at Cambridge is another source of en-
enlargement to the followers of the
| crimson.
The Cambridge coaches are looking
! forward to the game with Pennsylva-
mia, on Nov. Z, with just as much con-
Germ as to the contest with Yale. In

fact, Harvard would take a defeat at
the hands of the Quakers much more
to heart than one by Yale. The stu
dents of Cambridge are somewhat
used to having Yale beat them, and
they rather expect it anyway. A
victory by Pennsylvania, however,
would make them feel that they are
pretty small potatoes in the football
world this year, despite the fact that
the Quakers are acknowledged to have
one of the strongest elevens that ever
represented the Red and Blue. Penn
sylvania will tackle Bucknell next Sat-
urday and the result of the contest
should show how the team of old
Penn compares with that of Princeton,
which easily defeated Bucknell last
Wednesday. There is little doubt that
the Philadelphia students will do quite
as well as the Tigers against this
heavy team.
Pennsylvania is not only confident of
whipping Harvard, but also looks for
ward to a certain victory over Cornell.
The main fault of the Quakers is a
tendency to tumble at critical times,
and the slowness of the backs in get
ting under way. If they rectify these
faults, they viii line up against Cor
nell and Harvard with a very fair
chance of success.

That it is the motto of the latter day

Uating from the asylum to a position as
bicycle messenger boy in Atlanta, and
thence to the cycle track in 1891. He
made his way slowly in the field. but
three years ago came into prominence
as a pace follower and was soon earn
ing competence.
Major Taylor's father was an ash
man in Indianapolis, living at Slago.
Taylor was a. hanger-on and errand
boy around the cycling stores of In
dianaopls until Majon Munger made
him cook and boy OF all work In the
famous bachelor quarters conducted by
him at Indianapolis Taylor followed
Munger. and, entering a six-day race
in 1896, made such a start in cycle rae
ing that the rest came easy
Kramer when a school boy in New
Jersey developed in ability on the wheel
which caused Mr.. Burnett, his fathers
partner, to start his gradual develop
ment as a cycle rider. Amateur cham
pion one year, and then two, he en-
tered the professional field, to lose the
championship the first year to Taylor;
but, becoming champion the following
year. he has won the honor for three
years steadily.
Kramer is the first rider since the
days of Eddie Bald, and the second
rider in cycling history, to win the
championship for three successive
years. Cooper is also in automoSiling.
None of the champions before Coopers
time proved able to hold their earn

to be tried and the chances are that
the county chaingang will be very
much augmented from the criminals
of this term of court The case that
Is attracting the most interest is that
of the young white man charged with
assault on little negro girl. He has
been in Jail over a year.
The fight between the school men of
the county and the public road people
over the felony conVicts is warming up,
and just what the grand jury will rec
ommend on that line is now problem
atical. The school people say that it
will be a great injustice to the school
teachers to reduce the school fund to
the amount of the convict hire. 1T
simply makes the teachers pay for
working the roads, because every dol
lar taken from the fund is out of their
pockets, and theirs alone. There is
talk of the grand jury recommending
that the felony convicts be gotten from
the state, but that the couny make
good the shortage in the school fund.
That is one way out of the difficulty.

Several fast quarters were spun out

five of these exciting contests will be
pulled off during the meeting.
The idea has prevailed that the fair
here would not be as largely attended
as was expected, and there has been
"a uoticeaHe tagging local interest,
but reports from surrounding districts
bring the information that a large
number of visitors will attend the fair
attracted largely by the races. In
every locality of the state and among
all classes horse racing is the chief
attraction among all the sports, and
the announcement that Savannah was
to have g. race meet that would be
equal to any held in the country will
draw hundreds and thousands of Wis
itors.
More Horses To-day.
Four carloads of runners were
shipped from Atlanta yesterday morn
ing and are expected to arrive here to-
day some time. In the lot which will
arrive to-day are some of the runners
that came down to Atlanta from La
tonia, but arrived too late to enter in
any of the events there.
Keen rivalry exists between the
horsemen that will attend the meet
here, engendered by races in Atlanta,
and it is probable that more than one
match race will result, in addition to
the regular events on the card Match
races are always interesting, and it is
in these that the public gets a run for
its money.
The wiring for lighting purposes at
4 the grounds has been completed,
which leaves nothing to be done now
but the arrival and placing of the ex-
hibits and midway shows.
