WATERBURY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY,
giving. The New York title will be decided next Thursday.


 decided next Thursday.
 Kemp, member of one of the class teams at Annapolis, played so well against the varsity the other day that he may be called upon to fill a posi-. ton with the regulars. Right tackle is position which is still unsettled and it may fall to him.
 Cornell students are so certain of victory over Pennsylvania Thanks giving day that they have had four immense sectiols of the bleachers re- served for them, which will accom- modate 1000. There will be plenty of Cornell coin also on hand to back the Ithacans to the limit.
 Kern and Mountforda re alternat- ing at quarterback for the West Point regulars. Carey, who gave promise of developing into first string man has been shifted over to the scrubs. Both Mountford and Kern are being drilled in drop kicking and have shown considerable booting ability.
 Lange, who started out ill brilliant fashion at quarterback for the Navy, is losing the confidence of the coaches because of his constant fumbling. Ma son, a new man. is getting a chance at the job and besides being Lange's equal in running the team he has not shown any signs of the fumbling weakness.
 Coach ''Hurry-up' Yost, of Michi- gan would be called poor loser" in the east and his career would be short lived. He started cry of "robber" as soon as Penn defeated his charges and isn't through making excuses yet Michigan wants another game with the Quakers next year but is go- ing about it ill any way but the right one.
 The practice of giving players an evening chalk talk on the probable plays of their opponents and how they best may be met, which was in augurated by Coach Glenn Warmer Of the Indians, is being taken up by other coaches. The Lehigh team is now attending regular night school sessions, where Coach Dickson eX- plains matters on a blackboard.
 Two bones in Mount Peasants left hand are broken, but he insists that if it is tightly bandaged he can play against Chicago. He has demonstrat- ed to Coach Glenn Warner of the h. dians that he can pass the ball ac- curately with his right hand, but Warner fears that he would miss punts if put in the game and thereby give the Windy City aggregation op- portunity to secure the ball and score.
 To assist in abolishing professional ism in southern colleges rule may he adopted this winter the same as is in vogue in eastern institutions, which prohibits first year students from be- ing members of any varsity teams. Every fall, 1t is charged, number of young men enter southern colleges for the sole purpose of playing foot ball and are paid for their services. After the season closes they drop out of the school as mysteriously as they came.
 Pennsy coaches are worrying over defence for the forward pass, which play Cornell has mastered to a re- markable degree. In practice the other day the Quaker varsity was twice scored upon by the freshmen by use of the forward pass,and the first team seemed utterly poweress to solve it. Ithaca reports are to the ef- feet that the Cornell players are now cultivating half dozen new and pug zling formations for the play and it is likely to have an important part in the big Turkey day game.
 It is said that the reason Captain Lubo of the Indians was put out of the Pennsylvania game by Umpire "Bilr' Edwards was that he used a word which that official considered q criticism of his efficiency. Lubo de- clares that he never loved an umpire more than Edwards and that his out burst was due to Quaker swinging his closed hand in such a manner that Lubo felt his nose protrudinS through the back of his skull. Car lisle's leader is a Mission Indian and can speak Missionese, but his pro- gress in recherche English has reached that stage usual to foreigners who quickly acquire certain Americanisms.
