CARPENTER UNDER SUSPICION
North Cardinals Halfback Charged
With Professionalism.


UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. Va. Octo-
ber ga letter has been received here
stating that Hunter Carpenter. the famous
halfback, received board, tuition, railroad
expenses and money for his athletic serv-
ices at North Carolina last year. This,
while not proven by an affidavit, Is gener-
ally believed to be true, and if true, shows
Carpenter to be a professional athlete and
thereby debarred from the contest next
Saturday A recent issue of Clifton Forge
paper, his home town, printed notice that
Carpenter had lett for Blacksburg, where
he would stay until the close of the foot
ball season
rumor is to the effect that he would
either have to be taken out of the contest
or else the management would cancel the
game, but the board will say nothing in re-
gard to the matter, this report cannot be
verified. That definite steps in regard to
Carpenter have been taken in some direc
ton is well known throughout the college,
and the entire student body is much excited
over the matter.
An almost unanimous opinion is that the
game should be played in any event and
to Virginia only in that it tends to produce
purity in athletics. The Virginia manage
ment has mailed to the manager of the V.
p is team q statement sworn to by the
president of the university, the manager of
the team, his assistant. each member of the
foot ball squad and the president and adj
visory board of the general athletic asso-
squad is a bona fide student of this insti-
tuition. V. p. l. has been requested to re-
turn similar afiidavits from her team and

HOPELESS ALL THE TIME.
Could Do Nothing
Against Chicago.

EVANSTON, Ill.,, October 2S.-Chicago
University overwhelmed Northwestern Uni
versity on Northwestern Field this after
noon, scoring 81 points and guarding the
maroon goal line SO well that it never was
in the slightest danger. Three touchdowns
were made In the first half, on two of
which Parry kicked goal. Two more touch
downs without goal were made in the
second half, while Rekersall got in his
usual drop-kick, an easy one from the If
teen-yard line.
On q dry, fast field the Chicago backs
showed to much greater advantage than
they did in the game with Wisconsin
week ago. and although Chicago used moth
ing but the simplest plays. not once trying
a trick play during the game, they ploughed
through the opposing line for long gains.
Outweighed fifteen pounds to the man, it
was a hopeless fight for Northwestern from
the start, and only twice in the game did
they get the ball downs, although REX
eTsali was forced to punt once or twice.
Chicago early in the game developed the
weak spot in the Northwestern line, left
tackle and end. and that part of the North
western line was pounded hard throughout,
the light Northwestern forwards being ap-
parently unable to stop the plunges of Bez-
dek. Boone and De Tray.
Capt. Catlin of Chicago did spectacular
work on offense, once skirting Northwest
erns right end for thirty-three yards, and
soon afterward for eighteen yards, while
Parry, catching the ball on a kickoff, tore
through the whole Northwestern eleven,
shaking off two tacklers and running sew
enty yards before downed
Contrary to expectations. Chicago did not
use RekersaIl the offensive except for
punting. With the game with Michigan on
Thanksgiving day in mind, Chlcago's speedy
quarterback was guarded carefully. and
no chances of his injury were taken, the
three backs and Capt. Catlin being used
almost altogether in advancing the ball.
For Northwestern, the work of Quarter
back Johnson. the former Carliels Indian
player, was easily the best. His return of
punts and his hard, sure tackling undoubt-
edly saved Northwestern from a still
greater defeat.
Little fumbling was done by either team.
but many penalties were inflicted for Off
side play, Chicago losing thirty yards In
this way, while Northwestern suffered pen
alties of thirty-five yards

PITCHER CORBETT'S
SLOW BALL

'It was funny way l discovered a slow
calling the old days when he was the pre-
mier pitcher of the National League.
When l broke into the game with Balti-
moro had good, fast ball and my curve
was as good as anybodys. In fact. think
l had little better curve than most pitch
ers, and I used to depend on my fast ball
and curves to win games. l would shoot a
curve at the batter which he would break
mis- bat reaching for. and then would push
up fast close to the latter which
would drive him away from the plate BY
mixing them up 1 used to manage to hold
my own. l had seen pitchers manipulate a
slow ball successfully and l experimental
with it some in practice, but | never had
the nerve to throw one at a batter in
game until l pitched at Pittsburg one day.
Fred Clarke, who is still with the same
club, was up. | think he must have fouled
off dozen balls. 1t was hot day and
close game and was sweating like a steer.
| had tried everything l knew on Clarke. l
had fed him all the curves l had and put
up fast balls for him to hit at and he
fouled them all. I didn't know what to do.
Then the thought struck me to try slow
ball. l didn't know much about it, but said
to myself that he can't no more than knock
it out of tie lot. SO I'll let her flicker
wound up and let her go. 1t was such a
surprise to Clarke, who had never seen me
work a slow ball before. that he went at 1t
like an amateur and hit it right into my
hands 1t was an easy out and we won the
game.
But for Clarke fouling off all those balls
| might never have developed the slow ball
which is a dandy and which has helped
many a pitcher out of a hole So you see
We sometimes sort of stumble onto things
In base ball.

LOOKS FOR A
THIRD LEAGUE

PHILADELPHIA, October 2S.-Benjamin
Shibe. president of the Athletic base ball
club. believes that there may be third
major league next season.
This has been one of the most prosperous
years in the history of base ball." said Mr.
Shibe, 'and the rivalry that has been
worked up between the two big leagues has
done it all. l think that almost every club
In each of the big leagues has made money
this year. The minor leagues have also
shared in the prosperity. and do not know
of any league that was forced to quit i'm
mediately after July 4, as has been such
common occurrence in former years.
Take Providence and Baltimore in the
east. Both cities are hungry for higher
class of ball than they have been having
Then there is Wilmington, Del. 1t Is CON
sdered one of the best base ball towns in
the country. Richmond. Va. or perhaps
Worcester. Mass, would do for fourth city
in the east.
'In the west Louisville, Indianapolis and
Buffalo are anxious to have major league
ball. With Columbus or Toledo as a fourth
city q very compact circuit could be rounded
out"
Mr.. Shibes suggestion may be realized.
There is at present a movement under way,
headed by George Tebeau Of Louisville to
organize a league of national proportions
including the best cities in the Eastern and
Western leagues.

up in the following statement:
II saw game of foot ball last Saturday

Is simply another evidence that the brutal
instincts in man and woman will crop out.
Early in the contest one of the captains
was carried off the field insensible, and the
game went on This is sport.
There was not a boy in the game who
did not run the risk of receiving an injury
that would send him through life a hope
less cripple. Now, this may be sport. but
does 1t pay to take the chances?
Should ain alleged sport that neeessitates
taking such chances receive sanction and
encouragement of sane and sensible people ?
Possibly so. | desire to register my opin-
ion. however, that dog lighting, cock fight
ing and bull lighting are Sabbath school
games in comparison with modern foot

America Going to the Front.

In connection with automobile racing
there is peculiar situation that many cf
those Interested in the sport do not UNDER

race France announced that she would not
compete in another Vanderbilt cup race.
HoI in another contest for the Gordoa-
Bennett cup. Evidently she figured that
ii would be better to rest on her laursls
than risk them In future contests against
countries that were making giant strides
i'll the construction of racing cars. An Ell
fort was made to change the deed of gilt
Of the international cup so that future coa-
tests for 1t would be limited TO touring
cars. At this move Germany and Italy
raised shout, and tie LATTER wanted %

race.
Then France tried to decry future road
racing In America, and intimated that IL
she won the Vanderbilt cup 1t would he

Ii be put up as a touring trophy.
Now that the cup goes TO France. and
that country does not wish to promote a

country is beginning to make great head
way in the racing game.
For many months France has argued
that II was unfair to give IL only the same
representa- tion in the International races
that was accorded other countries. and the
Automobile Club of France has been anx-
ious to replace all other events with a
grand priX In which France could have
about three times as many cars any
other country. She claims this would be
just, on account OF her greater number OF
manufacturers, giving never thought ie
the fact that this country makes mere

Jiu Jitsu to Be Used

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. October 2S.-Jiu
jitsu has been introduced into the practice
on the Yale foot ball team. Coach Frank
Hinkey has inaugurated it and. while the
system is to be used only at certain stages
of the game, it is believed that several
movements of the japanese wrestling art
will be found most useful in tackling and
in defensive work.
One stunt, In particular, which Is to be
put in use is Il peculiar movement of the
shoulder In tackling a man from behind, and
which scarcely ever fails to send him over
on his back.
Another innovation in the practice this
week was made. Instead of tackling the
usual dummy live players were used for
this purpose. One man. generally one of
the heaviest. was selected, and the entire
team, one at a time, would rush upon him
and tackle him. 1t was not the greatest
sport in the world for the tackles.

Increase Power and Decrease Weight.

To show how automobiles are being inn
proved, both in construction and by increas-
ms the power, it is worth noting that
where year or two ago it was considered
good practice to have one horse power for
each 100 pounds of weight. a leading Amer
ican manufacturer now supplies one horse
power for every fifty-four pounds in weight.
This plan Is followed out in the new model
f'ope-Toledo and shows how much has been
accomplished by increasing the strength
and durability without the sacrifice of
strength.
Experience and deep study of the subject
that to attempt TO make car strong by
merely increasing the size and consequently
the weight of the parts, not only does not
constitute strength but Is actually a source
Of weakness, for 1t is claimed the larger
