Thatcher, who has charge of the dis tribution of the tickets for the Yale Princeton game. said last might that there were 5000 seats for this game and that there would be some tickets left for public sale after all student ind graduate applications for tickets had been filled.

THE GRlDlRON
DARTMOUTH
 THE SURPRISE
Must Now Be Reckoned as One of Big Six Tickets For Harvard Princeton and Yale Games on Sale.

There will have to be some recon struction in the ''Bix Sicks,' as some body has .facetiously dubbed them four of the members having shown signs of indisposition last Saturday. If the Dartmouth eleven keeps up it's pace. Indeed, Dartmouth is more en- titled to place in big six company right now than one or two of it's pres ent members 4 victory over Harvard last year and victory over Princeton this year is great work for minor a team, Ralph Glaze of Dartmouth is one of the seasons best ends, and
 Eddie Herr is star in his position of right halfback. It must be pleasing to
 Dartmouth men to know that their team is coached by Dartmouth man.
 F. c. Folsom, who succeeded McCor-
 mack as coach at Dartmouth, was in the class of '95 at Dartmouth. He has been coach for the last three years and therefore has fine record. When he came to Dartmouth he did not know the shape of football and had no idea of playing.
 He was ''discoyered' by fellow student who engaged in an impromptu wrestling bout with him. The fellow student was a football player, but he
 was put on his back with ease by the Maine farmer" He reported the oc- currence to the football authorities who at once dragged Folsom out tO play. Hence. all the coach knows about football he learned at Dart mouth. Folsom played end on the Dartmouth varsity team for two years, and after leaving college coached the University of Colorado eleven. His home is in Colorado, where he practices law. He was a good base ball player, as many football men are, and 1t was he who unearthed Soka lexis. the Indian. who played base ball at Holy Cross, later with the Cleye- land National league team, and still later with Waterbury. Mentally, Fol som is described as one of those men who, when they set about doing a thing, stick everlastingly to it. Physi- cally he was very quick and very strong. He says that he cannot shake of the athletic habit acquired at col lege, and every winter goes into the gymnasium to keep up his physical tone.
 One nf Folsom's assistants this year is Witham, the former quarterback placed on several all American teams. From last years team Dartmouth lost both guards, the center, one end and part 6f the back field. This, together with the fact that the line material was light at the beginning of the sea- son. shows what Dartmouth had to overcome.

THE DIAMOND.
LOCAL PEOPLE
 MUST CONTROL
Waterbury Must Be Repre- sented by Local Capital in the State League--New Haven is For Sale.

There is but one thing more to be done and then Waterbury will be as- sured position in the Connecticut league for the coming season and per haps for many seasons to come. All
 indications now point to Attorney II.
 K. Durant as the next manager of the
 Waterbury team, and that team back ed by local capital, headed by George Strobel. That one thing to be done is the affixing of signature to the Mer- iden franchise. While the plans for the new field are all ready for the springing, the local interested parties do not wish to say anything until tue league managers say that they are. en- titled to seats in the. .directorate of the leagues1 It must. DS understood rfeht at the outset, however, that the local interested parties do not believe the franchise of the Meriden team Is worth the paper it is written on. True. that franchise, If 1t is not used in Meriden, must be transferred to some other city and just at the present time there Is no other city that can make good, out side of Waterbury. The local people do not mean, however, to let the Meri- den stockholders down without cent and to that end they have received from the Waterbury people an offer of
 I,000 for the players of the Meriden team. They feel that after they have paid over this sum they are entitled to the franchise. and the league direc- tors undoubtedly should feel the same way. Waterbury will have to spend $4,0OO or $500 right at the start off to get grounds and everything else ia condition. for 1t is proposed to have n field That will be second to none in the state. While at one time 1t looked as though outside people. could come in here and get grounds and run a team successfully. 1t appears now from what has developed that the only successful way to accomplish the objects desired by the league as a whole is for local capitalists and local managers to con- trol the matter. There Is plenty of money behind the local people. there is also a wealth of experience in slpxt. ing matters. and what is more. tue sport loving people of this city want the local men to control 1t.

Hoppe's ChaHenge.
"Sfudent" Slosson Won't Msel the Young Billiard
 Phenomenon.

Willie Hoppe has withdrawn his cer- tiled check for $500 deposited with a New York billiard table company as a forfeit in support of his challenge to George Slosson for billiard match at 18.2 balk line and has turned his at tention to players now in Paris in the expectation that his def has excited the attention of some expert over there who may accept
 The Paris representative of the bil- Hard company cabled over for a copy of the challenge, which has been sent, ! together with Blossoms declination to accept, and 1t is thought that one of the stars now in Paris may wish to play the boy wonder. While he did not make an open challenge, Hoppe is willing to play any one, Champion Vignaux in particular.
 Slosson insists that his refusal to ac- cept at this time was largely due to the hope that leading players now in Paris and in America might shortly meet here in big international tour nament, of which there is very strong possibility, in view of the prob able closing of the Paris academies, which would cause players to come over here. In this case Slosson claims that match game now would dull in- terest in the tourney. If the tourna- ment is held Slosson says he will bet Hoppe to a standstill on individual re- suits and averages. ....
 rnsHoppe's challenge has placed him prominently before the public as can didate for championship honors. and the youth is likely to be big favorite in any contest in which he may enter as a competitor.
 When "Student'' Slosson was seen re- gently he declared that he had no in- tention of playing Hoppe or paying any attention to his challenge, which is for 1900 or 2,500 points at eighteen inch balk line, with two counts in balk.
 Slosson declared that he was ready to enter Into tournament with Schae- fer, Sutton, Cure, Morningstar, Wig naux or any of the leading Frenchmen. He would make a match with any of them singly, but that Hoppe must make his mark in tournament first.
 The prospect of such tournament as slosson outlined is promising for the

SOME PRETTY PLAYS.

And still wide flung plays go on di. minishing the frequency of straight driving through the line. Cross bucks and straight bucks are being relieved by dashes which take in more ground before they reach tbe line from wbich the ball was snapped back. Recent games have seen considerable running of line men from their positions in the line by ends, tackles and guards. See how Shevlin and the Indians worked them last Saturday. The quarterback run, which necessitates a Journey of five yards outward, has netted several long runs recently. and also a yaria- tion of 1t in which the halfback carries the ball on direct pass from the cer, ter instead of the quarterback. Thess are all pretty plays and pleasing to the spectator, who sees what's going on Football coaches do not mind specta- tors knowing whats going on. but are not anxious for the other side to know it. The Harvard split off from the tandem is pretty maneuyer, but it is difficult to see where the ball is.

PRINCETON MUST WORK.

Princeton. Nov 1.-The Tigers had a long, hard practice yesterday. The players were in a somewhat battered condition after the hard game with Dartmouth on Saturday, and several of the regular varsity were not fn the line. After the bad showing of the Orange and Black team in Saturdays game, Princeton realizes that some radical improvement must be made in the team soon if a respectable showing Is going to be made in the two games remaining on the schedule. With shis ia view the coaches will give the tenn a thorough driIl every day during the remaining lime. and great effort will be made to blot out the gross careless ness In play which Saturdays game showed up co prominently.
