THE CRIDIRON
FOR
 THE FRAY
All Waterburys Will Train Hard For the Game With the Ac0rns Next Sunday in Bridgeport.

Every effort is being made to get special train from this city for Bridge port on Sunday, when the All-Water- burys go down there to have the first meeting with the Acorns of that city. The management will know by Friday evening just how the matter stands as regards the train. The All-Waterburys themselves will probably go down on the morning train and stop in Strat- ford and from there will take the troll ley cars to the field in the afternoon. All the members of the team are in excellent condition with the exception of Quarterback Sheehan, who is trou- bled with sore knee, but it is be- lieved he will be in prime shape by Sunday. The team will practice to- night, Friday night and Sunday morn- ing. George Waite of Naugatuck will act as timekeeper and the Yale off cials will be chosen by Dick Howell, sporting editor of the Bridgeport Sun- day Herald, and Harry Cross, sporting editor of the Waterbury American. That big crowd will want to attend this first game is very evident for it is the talk of the whole city, and if Waterbury can come back with the first victory the players can own Wa terbury.

THE GRIpIRoN sPRINrERs.


 Different footing and heavier attire make sprinting on the gridiron much harder than on the clnder path, but now and then there is a player whom football togs do not slow up to any ap- preciable extent. Eckersall, the streak of lightning who plays quarterback for the University of Chicago, Is a ten second man on the track, and to his opponents on the football field he new CT seems any slower than that. Foot ball clothing does not check his speed much, and 1t would be interesting to know in just what time he could do a hundred yards on the gridiron and iu gridiron regalia. Harold Weekes, the old Columbia halfback. was one of those men who apparently was as fast on the gridiron as on the track. He was good for 10 Is seconds on the track and was 90 strong that the addi- tional weight of football clothing both- cred him but little. He was as fast on the football field as some men who could have beaten him in a sprint. and once he got to an end clear 1t was all of unless the player In the back field headed him of. which was not easy. because he was an adept with the straight arm and went by with such a rush.
 RulOn-Nfiller of Princeton. who on account of fll health retired from the pursuit of the plgskin for a year. Is a ten second man. but has not made the sensational runs In football that men who are a shade slower have done. There was Metcalfe of Yale. who was as fast as anybody on the Eridiron or diamond. but was not known as a sprinter on the track Football t0g- Eery did not bother him. and he could he depended on to keep ahead Of any pursuer and maybe open ID a gap.

THE DIAMOND.
BITS OF INTERESTING
 BASE BALL NEWS

The big college football teams are now supposed to be close to the form expected of them fort their final and most important games and there is no gainsaying the fact that Yale goes to the post as favorlte. The work of the Ellis against West Point Saturday was enough to give Yale students the hope that Sheslin's eleven would not be scored on this season. But in the games to come Yale will need to put forth her best and the question now is whether the new trainer, John Mack, can have the men fit.
 Thus far Mack's werk with the New Haven athletes has shown that he possesses great ability. None of the men have gone out of condition and where any stars have been kept out of the game the reason has been in accidents. Mack took up hard task when he succeeded Mike Murphy. the Idol of Yale men. He has had wide experience as a trainer and If he can keep up his work with Yale for the rest of the football season. he will have gained renown for himself
 In this connection there is bit of unwritten history concerning Murphy's reasons for leaving Yale. All sorts of rumors have been circulated as to the salary which Pennsy will pay him and 1t may be set down as fact that he has a 1O-year contract calling for an annual stipend of S7,5O0 or total of S75.O00. The authority for this state nlent is a letter from Murphy himself to q friend in this state.

time to avoid interference with the fair catch. Gates, the other Yale end, is a sprinter, too. He is best known as hurdler on the track, but can do 1925 seconds. Castleman. the Colgate halfback, who is a 10 1-5 man, has shown this season that he is propor- tionately just as fleet on the gridiron. Forbes, the Yale tackle, although close to POO pounds, is good for 10 1-5 sec onds on the track, and Stangland, the former Columbia captain and guard was a 10 2-5 man. One of the fieetest ends that ever played football was Palmer of Princeton. who was down the field like the wind and was sure tackler in addition. The punter could not send the ball too far for him. and there was little running the ball back when he and Poe were playing the ends for Princeton.

Terry McGoveru.
VIII the Noted FeatherqOeight Again Climb to Pugiiistie
 Hetghts?

Has Terry McGovern "come back?' Will he once more wear championship laurels? These are questions fight fol lowers everywhere are now asking.
 McGovern did the sensational in knocking out Tommy Murphy before two minutes of the first round had elapsed in their bout at the National A. c. in Philadelphia. recently. This was no small feat. Murphy had never before been knocked out, and all his work had been of high grade. In vari- ous bouts he had been pitted against pretty nearly every good boy of his weight and, save when Abe Attell out pointed him, had never failed to emerge a winner.
 The stories about McGovern's condi- tion had shaken the confidence of even the men who have backed him through thick and thin. The betting on the re- suit showed Murphy at least an even choice. But in the actual going Tom my's science was nothing beside Ter rvs hitting power.
 Even had not McGovern put home that one fatal blow so early in tho fight he would in all likelihood have landed Murphy before the limit
 At his best McGovern shared with Young Corbett the distinction of pos sessing the hardest punch of any little man in the ring. Apparently he still bae it If ha fo oil rf0ht sr, offar ra spects, if be can keep cool and stand fair amount of grueling, he must still be reckoned with. It must be remem- bered that Young Corbett is the only man who ever dropped the Brooklyn boy. It would be an astonishing feat if Terry should come back and go once more into the championship. Experts are not lacking who think this within the possibilities.
 Because McGovern knocked out Mur- phy it will not do to jump to the con clusion that the Terror will now go down the line and vanquish everybody in the roped arena. True, his perform ance against the featherweight was excellent and shows that McGovern has much of the speed and vigor that made him so feared a few years ago. One thing has been demonstrated in. this case. No man who lacks a knock out punch can hope to Le.s him. With e light hitter in front of linn McGovern will sail In and assimils;e iabs and sIaps as a duck shakes water from its back. And Terry will keep on going

O Brien and Fitzsimmons Are Willing and They Meet Soon BowKer Post. uones Fight With Attell.

It looks now as if Bob Fitzsimmons is sincere in his intention to fight Jack O'Brien of Philadelphia, for yesterday the lanky Cornishman authorized George Considine to arrange match for him. Considine wired O'Brien, who is at present In San Francisco, that Fitz would meet the Quaker in twen- ty-round bout before any of the Sai Francisco clubs, and got reply from OBrien that everything was all right
 Fitz wants to fight within six weeks from date. He declares that the win her must be recognized as the heavy weight champion of the world" FitZ declared that as Jeffries is the only man who ever whipped him he is en- titled to be classed as the champion now that the boilermaker has retired.
 Fitzsimmons has closed his season as the star in his play, "A Fight for Love-" and from now on will deFe himself to training. He looks very we'll at present, and judging from his appearance it will not take him long to get into first class trim. Leo Fried man, Fftz's manager, who is in New York, will start for the Pacific coast in a few days to select training quar- ters for the auburn haired boxer. Fitz may do his work at Harbin Springs if everything is satisfactory.
 If I beat O'Brien." said Fitzsim- mons yesterday, T will issue chal- lenge to meet any heavyweight in the world, not even barring Jeffries. I will go after Marvin Hart, of course, but it is doubtful if the latter will give me a chance because so far he has re- peatedly ignored me. I gave him every opportunity for fight but it seemed as if there was nothing doing. I'm glad to leave the stage and get back to the ring, where I belong Maybe when I get through with some of these fellows they won't think Pm So very old"

 A Father Complains to President
 Butler of COIumbia.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 2.--A letter ad- dressed to President Butler of Colum- bia university from the father of one of Columbia's football men has just been made public at the university. It says:
 T wish to call your attention to the following; My son, Fred H. Duden, a senior in the School of Mines, has to finish his studies and be graduated this year. He has lost one year at the university by being unable to pass his examinations because of playing foot ball and had to take the same courses over again.
 "I have now telegram addressed by Coach Morley to my son, Report at Columbia oval at 9 a. m. for football practice How can my son study when he has to be at 9 in the morning at football practice and again at practice after o'clock in the afternoon until late?
 T appeal to you to find some ways and means to get him off the football team so that he has the necessary time to study, attend to the lectures and by so doing graduate in his final examlna- tons." To this letter the university authori- ties made the following reply:
 When the standing of a scholar is uniformly good 1t is impossible for the university to take action in such cases. If parent desires that his son shall not pursue football he must persuade him through other means"
 It was said at the Columbia foot ball headquarters that Duden would continue to play throughout the sea- snn

 When Terry made his appearance in the ring to meet Murphy he was a tri- he nervous and fidgety, but as soon as the bout started he was all right. Nearly all ln the house were glad to see the little fellow display his old time fighting qualities. McGovern and Nelson will probably meet before next spring. Sam Harris, who brought Ter " to the front, was at the ringside, and after the bout he said that Terry would make things warm for any one near his class.

ONE MORE FAKE.

Northampton. Nov 2.-The much t0uted wrestling match at Sherwin s hall last night between Young Null doom of New York city and Young Roeber of Boston was one of the worst of the manu barefaced fakes which have been perpetrated upon the long-suffering sporting public of this city. Muldoon although in the city up to within a few hours before the match. did not appear and many of the spectators are wondering whether or not they saw Young Roeber.
 Mike Willard of Springfield was given the decision over a wrestler who went on under the name of Young Reober, but the latter is said to weigh only 1SS pounds. while last nights wrestler in the main bout would tip the scales at nearer 1S5 pounds. Roe Der contracted tO throw Willard in 30 minutes and not only failed to do %. but was saveSi from defeat only bv the fact that rolling falls did not count. Willard scored neat yelling fall after 2S minutes work. and although out weighed by a score or more of pounds gave a very clever exhibition through cut.

Filero is in the pink of condition and is expected by his supporters to win.
