Neither Pennsylvania nor Cornell can by
any possible chance be reckoned with In the
theoretic decision OF the best team Of the
year. and the Army and Navy have already
been defeated so frequently as to place
them markedly In q lower than the first
class. despite the fact that their contest viii
be one Of the most interesting OF the year
from a spectacular standpoint.
To Yale on her showing must be conceded
first position. While in some departments OF
play her standard was below Harvard's on
Saturday. sti her resourcefulness and abil-
ity to rise to the occasion entitle her mark
edly to the first position. Harvard was beat
en- and Princeton was not, which would en-
title the Tigers to consideration above the
Crimson In the final reckoning of relative
values.
Beyond the ranking of these three teams
It Is useless to pursue the question Of posi-
ton further. Both Pennsylvania and Cor

mighty effective foot ball at times Dart

ELIOT ON ATHLETICS.
He Says It Will Do No Harm to Break
With Yale.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November %
President Charles w. Eliot of Harvard Uni
versity when interviewed regarding the
rumored break with Yale in athletic rela-
tons said:
''It would do this university no harm to
break athletic relations with Yale. or with
any other university, for that matter. As an
example the University of Wisconsin dis
continued athletic relations this year with
four of it's largest and strongest rivals, but
still Wisconsin continues to prosper in ath-
letics and in every other way as much as
ever.

that there were few injuries. l must say,
however. that foot ball has been greatly

whole season of foot ball and then draw my
conclusions"

RECENT FIELD
TRIALS At LAUREL
By James Watson.

The field trials of the Maryland and Dis
trict of Columbia Field Trials Club were
held at Laurel. Md. and proved a success
full gathering of genuine sportsmen. These
local associations should be studded all
over the country. for If they were they
would prove the greatest incentive to the
proper enforcement of the protective game
laws. Without the work of the local club
of Laurel in stocking a section of that
country and securing the cooperation of
the farmers these trial scould not have
been held. To take dogs out into an I'M
stocked country in any tolerably well-set-
tied section and run trials is an impossi-
bility. and II these clubs were formed by
sportsmen of all large towns they would
see to 1t that they had game upon which
the dogs could be tested. This would
call for leasing farmer lands for this
shooting privilege. and it Is to the farmers

Any person going through the closely cul-

quantity of game to be seen about the
fields, and it is simply protection that
does 1t. though, doubtless the game birds

Value of a Game Preserve.

We are having very stringent game laws
passed in various states. and there Is moth
ing that is likely to prove more advan-
tageous to the man with. the gun than
what can be accomplished by sensible
use of the income. which can be gained
from that very much maligned tax i'm
posed upon non-residents. New Jersey has
such a tax. but the results obtained in
that state do not begin to compare with
what is accomplished in Illinois.
When the Jaw was proposed In that state
there was the usual outcry about inter-
fering with vested and other rights, but
the proposers succeeded In convincing the
legislators that they meant good for all.
and they got law passed which put q
heavy tax upon all sportsmen from other
states and a moderate one upon the men
of Illinois. with the special privilege to
farmers and their sons of no license SO
long as they shot only on their own lands.
It seems impossible to believe the state
ment, but money talks. and the. commits

ceipt OF no less sum than $169. 500 for
gun licenses In 1908. He did not know
what to do with such an amount. but con-
cluded that the men who paid for shooting
he purchased large quantities of quail, up
to the thousands. and distributed them
throughout the state. Then he bought a
farm and made a game preserve Of 1t. and
there he Is rearing game birds Of many
foreign and native varieties. which will
be distributed in favorable localities.
The possibilities based upon such q plan
as that are immense. for who would not
willingly take an overnight trip to ILL
nois on one of the western flyers for a
week Of good shooting and gladly pay the
required license.
But why have to 20 Illinois and pass
through states that could just as well
have the income that Illinois does If the
sport was to be had? Sportsmen are will
what they want and there are sections
in all of our states where all that Illinois
is doing could just as easily be accom-
plished. Our farmers are liberal-minded
men, willing to adopt all feasible plans
for adding to their income. and a combina-
ton of farmers who saw to the proper
preservation of game and winter protec-
shooting rights to gentlemen who want
sport within reasonable distance of their
homes.
A visit to such a place as AlIamuchy. In
Warren county. N. j.. will show what
game preservation will do. for there the
English pheasants run about the fields at

Fishers Islands is another preserve, but

The Philadelphia Show.

The entry list at Philadelphia is an ex-
eellent one even If it does drop short of
the coveted four-point mark for champion
honors. The requisite number for that rec
ord has only been reached on one occasion.
and that with but five or six dogs as a
margin. The hall was then inconveniently
crowded. as space is somewhat limited for
a very large show. and 1t is not numbers
alone that make successful dog show
nowadays. 1t was pointed out at the time
the list of judges was announced that
Philadelphia had endangered the record
total Of a year ago by securing many of
the leading exhibitors to act in giving
awards in the breeds they were specially
connected with. and as they could not also
show and judge the entry might be reduced.
That perhaps affected the total, but there
is possibly another reason. and that is the
large number of shows held this fall which
have sifted out from competition many
dogs which their owners would have shown
had they not already found out that their
chances were not very great for success
at such show as that to be held at the
Horticultural Hall this week. To my mind
that is the true reason. and we can there
fore accept 1t as a fact that the plumber
of high-class dogs will be well above the
average that competition will be keener
and that fewer dogs will be passed out
without a mark of some kind.

Aftermath of the Benning special is to the

A winters rest may enable him to win more

heroic training measures at times for horses

he could hardly hobble. His trainer took
him to the old track at Horse Haven and
sent him twelve miles at little over half

Great Races Carded This Week.

Judged by the carded events for this-the

ming racegoers have royal sport in store
evry day of the series. 1t is long-distance
week at the track, and the races are over
a route such as the Dixie, Cup and three

enthusiasm.
Racegoers everywhere enthuse over long
races in much more earnest fashion than
the ordinary overnight sprints. which are
SO largely decided by the starts But in
races at a distance a horse can overcome
the handicap of poor sendoff and prove
contender in most instances. -. .. H.
