Dave FuItz's Success in College.
When Dave Fultz was playing ball a
few years ago, he was visited by a brother,
who adored his big, handsome ball-playing
brother, and who was forever telling about
some instance that had occurred when
Dave was still cleaning knowledge from
school books.

PENN AND
ITHACANS
ARE NEXT
Cornell FavOrite in Thurs
days Game, but Quakers
Pat Up Bold Front.

Philadelphia will be the seat OF war For
the two remaining big football games this
season. With Pennsylvania and Cornell
meeting on Thanksgiving Day and the
army and navy on Saturday on Franklin
Field. there promises TO be seen there two
of the most interesting games Of the
season. Cornell is the slight ~favorite for
the THANKSGIVING Day game on account
of her victory over Princeton and PENIS
defeat at the hands Of the Indians, while
the army is slightly favored over tbs
navy, although no adequate means OF
comparison between the two teame Ia at
hand.
In the Thanksgiving Day game ths
teams that meet ought to class very high
Cornell has had this year exceptional
material, most of II veteran, from which
opinion of those who have seen her work
is that there is a great deal of offensive
power IN the Ithacan eleven aud strong
defensive possibilities. In none of her
games, however. has all been gotten out
Of the team that was in II. Pennsylvania
had a lot of excellent material as we'll
and in the recent games has been pro-
crossing steadily. There is little TO choose
as to material. Pennsylvania has d bit
the better OF football knowledge and Cor
nell the slightly better record,
Cornell has a well-rounded aggregation,
strong in both Undertaking and end
running, and Is equipped with a fairly
good auxiliary game both as to forward
passing and outside kicks. Her kicking
is strong and well followed, but her catch
ing is hardly as good. Her backs run
kicks back pretty well when they catch
the ball safely.
Pennsylvania is particularly strong in
line plunging and fair in running the ends,
especially on fake formations. Her kick
ing Is exceptional. and her following Of the
ball good. Her catching and running back
is also strong. The auxiliary game, for
ward passing, and onside kicking has not
been so good as CornelPs. The accidents
incidental TO the game are not unlikely to
turn the tide one way or the other. Cor
nell Is favorite in the betting by about
8 to 4.
In the West Point-Annapolis game the
elevens are not nearly SO well advanced
Both teams have strong lines, and are not
so strong in the backheld. Both are IN
certain and liable TO make Misunderstanding
mistakes in critical periods. Almost any
result would not be a surprise in conse-
quence.
West Point has some power in straight
line bucking when 1t comes TO a drive, but
as a rule directs attack outside of tackle,
mostly from fake formations. She uses
the forward pass very freely, especially
the long pass, which varied with her kckl
Ing game, runs and passes from kick for
nations might be made very effective were
It more accurate. She uses short passes as
well, but there is no certainty about any
of her play. 1t is built very largely around
Beavers, and he is about the most uncer-
tain player who ever stepped on a field.

under Forbes's tutelage he could never do

GAME
ENDS IN WRANGLE.

Six minutes before time was up the
basketball game between the st. Michaels
and Acmes, at Harmonic Hall, last night,
ended in a dispute The score at the time
Of the row was Is to IL In favor of the st.
Michaels. The cause of the trouble was
the rough work of a couple of the players,
and the enthusiasm excited some of the
spectators so much that they had to take
part in 1t. Right from the beginning it
was give and take. both sides being guilty
of trough house, The score was close
throughout, due to the tactics of the play
ers. The spectators seemed TO like this
kind Of horse play, but probably had
enough of 1t last night to last for the rest
of the season. The score at the end of the
first half was 10 to 8 In st. Michael's
favor. The game as a whole was good for
the ones who like that kind of a game,
but 1t would be profitable to both the
players and spectators, who wish to see a
good and clean game, if they would only
cut the trough house" out.
Dominicans Won Easily.
The Dominican basketball players upheld
their reputation of being unbeatable on
their court by defeating the Garnets. Of
Newark, last night, by a score of "A to
Is, at Dominican Han. The visitors were
Manager Keenan's proteges. The game
was full Of amusing tricks which players
on both sides pulled off without catching
the referees eye. Much enthusiasm was
aroused by the brisk playing. and the
numerous mixups between the players
served as a stimulus to the sport. The
game last night was marked by clever
playing. Both teams refrained from rough
tactics. and by doing this a better and
cleaner game was the result. Both sides
were clever at team work and their pass
Ing was good, while the shooting was pro-
nounced by all to be decidedly high class.
The opening period was speedy. The fast
footwork of the players was the most con-
spicuous feature. The visitors worked
hard to defeat the "Doms,.' but all their
efforts only vent to make the home
artists display their worth and earn every
point they secured by the hardest kind OF
work.
The second half was practically the same
as the first so far as playing was con-
cerned Each five tried hard TO beat the
other. but the Dominicans proved to be
the better five. Harry Henninger and
Baynes, as usual. were the stars of the
game. The All-Americans, who were
booked for last night, failed to appear.
Following is the lineup:

INDIANS ARE HOME.
Red Men Elect waseuka Captain for
Next Years Team.

CARLISLE, Pa, Nov. 26.-The Carlisle
Indian football squad arrived home from
its Western trlumphs yesterday afternoon,
having completed the most successful sea
son of football ever played by a repre-
sentative Carlisle team. An unexpected
feature of the return trip was the election
on the train yesterday morning of Emil
Waseuka, an Oklahoma Indian, who has
played left Tickle with Carlisle for two
ears football captain for the ensuing
year. Waseuka has finished playing his
second year at Carlisle, and is not only
popular with his fellow-players and well
liked by every one at Carlisle, but is a
young man of high intelligence, and IS the
making Of one of the best captains Carlisle
has had.
Waseuka is a Cheyenne Indian, weighs
about 100 pounds and is 8 feet s inches tall.
He has a remarkably genial disposition,
which accounts to some extent for his
popularity. His talents are not confined
to football. as he is one of the best base
ball eatchers that has ever worn a mask
here. The physical condition of the In
dians upon returning yesterday, after the
most strenuous football schedule ever
played by any eleven, was remarkably
gratifying to the Carlisle School officials
and Coach Warner. Mount Peasants
hand is improving, Gardeners jaw Is get
ting in shape and the few ankle sprains
to be found among the Carlisle lads are
improving rapidly.
The local admirers of the Indians feel
that If ever in the history of football
positions on the All-American team were
earned that four or five of the Indians
have the highest football tribute coming
to them. Both Mount Pleasant and Houser
by all-around generalship and great va
riety of marvellous performances nave
earned the highest honors. and Carlisle's
ends. tackles. guards and centre deserve
the greatest credit.

TAD JONES PRAYED.
Yale Quarterback Tells How He Pre-
pared to Meet Harvard Team.


NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 26.-Tad
Jones. the Yale quarterback, says that
prayer played a part in the Yale-Harvard
game Saturday. He was stale before the
game, not having recovered from the Yale
Princeton game of the previous week, and
he said to his fellow-Yale players at the
banquet given to the team after the Har-
ward game Saturday night; -.
Saturday morning l had no strength. /
went to my room and prayed for it, and
when / came down ready for the game,
my strength had returned, and / was
ready to play hard" Jones's running of
the eleven was largely responsible for
Yale's victory. He is Yale's baseball cap
tain and is secretary Of the Young Mems
Christian Association Of the Sheffield Scien-
tifc School, as well as president of the
senior class. Alonzo Stage, Yale's greatest
pitcher, now coach at Chicago. was also
secretary of the Yale Young Mems Chris
tian Association, and used to say that be-
fore pitching every game he went to his
room to pray.
