New York, Nov. 10.-New York fans

odd time OF election day for announcing

No one doubts for a moment that Nc
Graw IS preparing to set off a blast that

deal more than the trades announced by
Manager Griffith, of the Yankees. Every
fan in the city has been guessing the
probable men who viii be asked to walk

Gam, Bad Man Dahlen. the overworked
and banged-up BOwerman. Silent Tay-
lor. and Iron Man McGinnity seem to be
the popular selections for the plank and
some fans think that all OF these men
will not answer the Giants roll call next

one Of the greatest shakeups on record
in the big leagues.

Philadelphia, Nov 1O-Coach Fielding
H Yost, the famous football tactician
who put Michigan on the gridiron mat saw
the Penn-State game yesterday and made
this statement regarding the Penn team
and the prospects for next SATURDAYS
game
"Penn's team is far better than I ex-
pected. So much better. in fact. that I
do not think a team in the country
could have beaten the Quakers the wav
they played Saturday. Penn Is well round
ed, strong in all points, and in Hollen-
back and Draper. has two phenomenal
players. The Red and Blue outclassed
State.
"Our severe rules eliminating training
tables limiting US to five games. and bar
ring freshmen entirely. not permitting
them 10 play any match games as a
freshman eleven, have put US under so
severe a handicap that I think Penn will
win But, Of course, We will fight the

WEST BADEN FOR CUP.
Champions VIII Begin Training at
the Indiana Resort

Chicago. Nov. f0.-President Murphy. of
the Cubs. returned yesterday from his
old home, Wilmington. Ohio. where he
spent his vacation OF ten days. A stack
OF letters from minor league magnates
asking for spring training dates with the
worlds champions awaited him. Definite
answers could not be given all the ap-
plicants for games. as the practice trip
hasn't been all mapped out yet The
only part Of the spring junket settled is
ten days stay at West Baden. The
world-beaters will go South after that
but just what places will be visited has
not yet been determined.
Among those who wrote for games was
Magnate Frank Tsbell. Of the Wichita
Kans) club. "Izzy" wants TO try out
his Western Association team against
Chances men. President Murphy wrote
the former White Sox star that in case
one division Of his team got as far West
as Wichita stop would be made there

enthused Georgetown TO such an extent
that for the first time this fall followers
OF the local university feel that their
favOrisvS iii have an even chance for
victory in the big game with Virginia
next Saturday
Before last Saturday IL appeared as
though the Blue and Gray was doomed 70
one Of the worst trouncings ever expert
enced at the hands of Virginia, but
against the Tar Heels the Georgetown
team showed such a marked Improvement
that there is a feeling now that the
eleven can be counted upon 20 make Il
creditable showing against the Char
lOttesyille team.
Georgetown's work against Carolina
was not perfect. and had Virginia, IN
stead Of Carolina. been on the schedule
Georgetown would probably have met the
same defeat But the thing that brought
joy 10 the supporters Of the nome team
was that the article OF football played by
Georgetown was a decided Improvement
over anything that had been offered al
any other time this season. and that if
the good work continues in practice this
week fur viii fly at Georgetown field next
Saturday.
Defense Looked Good.
The Carolina game demonstrated that
Georgetown has defense that is fairly
reliable. but the offense did not show
enough consistency to warrant the belief
that II Will rip up Virginia unless II is
greatly strengthened. Georgetown's light
forwards could make little headway IN
opening holes in the heavy Chapel Hin
line. so little success attended straight
plunges On end runs the locals had bet
3 ter success, and several times swept out
side Of tackle for substantial gains. The
short forward pass was used p-ith fair
success.
At punting Eddie Thompson had an ad-
vantage over his rivals and the result
was that Georgetown gained on most
or the exchanges. but much OF the dis
.tance gained by the actual kick was lost
Dy the failure TO cover the kicks properly.
Must Stop Honnker.
Next Saturday Georgetown will face In
Honaker one Of the most sensational
open field runners in the South. and one
OF the biggest problems viii be to stop
this speedy player after he has caught
punts- In order to do this the George
town ends will have to be down the
heid last. for slowness viii be as fatal
as last year, when Hammond Johnson
and Randolph tore of long runs after
being allowed 70 get under way.
georgetown is determined 10 make the
most OF the few remaining days OF prac-
uce, so while Virginia is behind closed
gates at Charlottesville most of the
work AT Georgetown field will be secret
