Among those who have been men

Of Philadelphia Judging from the line
Of talk that the New York pugilIsts
handed over the long distance telephone
TO Manager Al I1eTfOrd or the Eureka

Crowhurst and Michigan, who referee

Harvard Rebels
At Poor Showing
On the Gridiron
Student Body Will Take a
Hand Says Cor
respondent.

According 20 a letter 10 a Washington
man from an influential Harvard grad
uate. there will be something doing at
Cambridge after the Yale game. The
graduates have been disguised beyond
all limits by the miserable showing this
year. and intend to start demOnstra-
ton, which, it is hoped. win result in
either abolishing football altogether or
in a total change in the present coaching
system.
They want an efficient head coach en-
gagged, one who has actually played
the game himself, not a man like
Joshua Crane, who was never more than
a good scrub; who never played in a
big game in all his college career. They
want to see the game improved mater
tally and commercially; they want TO
see a man directing affairs who can de-
velop team work. and also football in
stinct, both Of which are sadly lacking
in this years team.
The Carlisle game was a great disap-
pointment. but as the Indians have at
all times put an excellent team on the
field. the defeat administered 10 the
Crimson was considered as a piece Of
football luck much to be regretted, but
not al all disgrace, In that game the
salient faults OF the Harvard team
almost absolute lack OF interference and
other team work-were sad sights. but
il was felt that the team might still
come around.
When Dartmouth also defeated the
Crimson, however, and by such a long
score as y to 0, the old guard immedi-
ately took notice. Harvard had an ex-
cellent bunch Of individual players. but
they seemed demoralized By their In
ability TO play as a machine
After the Yale game the graduates
intend 20 take hand and hope 10 place
the Crimson football policy OF an even
footing with the other colleges.

GEORGETOWN WON'T
STAND BY TEAM

There was nothing new today up 10
noon in the matter OF a Thanksgiving
football game between Georgetown and
George Washington Universities.
At the special meeting of the executive
council of the Georgetown Athletic As
ISOLATION yesterday afternoon It was
voted to repudiate the compromise made
by Manager Fitzgerald with George
Washington University. George Wash
ington then came back with an offer to
play the game for charity. but that at
tracted little attention.
The public is about tired Of the dis
cussion, and If the game were played
IL would probably arouse little en-
thusiasm compared with what would
have been the case had Georgetown nos
tried TO get an extra share or the gate
receipts.

Fight Alike.

Both Mel and Moran are spIend.dly
matched physically. They arc as alike
as pair of shaWl-necked game ROSTERS
and they are also like game ROSTERS
in their methods OF fighting. It hap
pens in the majority Of ring events that
contestants of Numerically opposite
styles are brought together, and. for
this reason. the battle sometimes wages
unequaIly until a lucky punch or the
effects OF repeated punches ends IL. IN
the case OF frankie and owen scoring
should begin and comparisons be order
from the moment the starting bell rings.
This evening at s o'clock Mel and
Moran will weigh IN at the Willis on Ell
lis street. In order TO conform with the
articles, and save his forfeit, each boy
will have TO weigh 10 pounds or less at
that hour. AS both have been well
under the mark for several days there
IL no chance OF a hitter or a penalty on
the score OF overweight.
Mel vii be seconded by Tim McGrath
Johnnie Jones. and Johnnie FTayne.

CHICAGO. Nov. 22.-Hope is today
surging through the breasts OF the
Maroon rooters. Coach Stage an

night that Chicago IS sure to win the
football game from the Carlisle Indians.
What Stage says is taken as the gospel
truth by the Maroon rooters. Hence
their elation.

AARAION CAPTAIN
OF EMERSON SQUAD
Eleven Candidates Out
for '07 Relay
Team.

Marnion. who was captain Of last
years track squad at Emerson Insd-
tute, has re-entersd that school this
year and was reelected captain and
manager Of the 'O7 track team last even
ing
1t vas reported that Marnion was to
enter Central, but the rumor was un-
founded. The Emerson captain ran on
last years relay team, when 1t met
Georgetown and Preston School, and
was over a lap ahead of his nearest
competitor when he was fouled by Il
Georgetown man. and was so badly hurt
that he was unable TO take any part in
athletics for several months.
Marmion's return has caused Consid-
cradle elation among Emerson support
ers on account of his baseball ability,
as well as because of his record on the
track He was easily the star OF last
years baseball team, of which he was
captain.
Relay Candidates Out.
Eleven men reported yesterday for the
relay team among whom are ali OF last
years runners, with the exception OF
Prouty. Marmion and Baker viii prob
ably make the team, but they viii be
given close run by AmbTustin, one of
last years subs.
It has been definitely decided that En-
ersOn will enter the Georgetown, George
Washington, and fntersCholasUc indoor
meets, and will also send a relay team
TO several Of the spring meets in this
vicinity. An invitation TO send team
TO the Tome games has been received
and will probably be accepted.

BOSTON, Nov. 22.-Even the appar-

Especial Correspondence
Philadelphia, Sept II.
With remarkable earnestness and en-
thusiasm for an off year the Republi-
cans OF Pennsylvania are pushing their
campaign for the election of John o.
Sheath as state treasurer in every
county in the state.
The demand from the voters to hear
Mr. Sheath is unprecedented under the
circumstances. Two weeks before the
time for which his canvass was sched-
uled TO be opened. he has had tokeep
upon the go responding to calls to adj
dress meetings, to attend county fairs,
~ - take part in gatherings OF
CT other bodies OF citizens
IF the gyAnd old commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
MIR. Sheath does rot claim to be an
orator. He is a plain. matter of fact
business man: an honest sincere, un-
sophisticated man of the people. Wber-
ever he has spoken he has made friends
and wherever his pledges 10 conduct
the O.lce of state treasurer in accord
ance with the promises made at the
outset Of his campaign are heard, they
are believed
He has made votes wherever he has
gone, whether he spoke to his old
neighbors of Berks county, or to the
sturdy Republicans of the adjoining
county of Lehigh, where he addressed
several thousands at the Republican
county meeting at Emaus, or to the
great assem- mblage in Northampton that
Cheered him to the echo at the county
meeting at Bethlehem, or at the Elks'
clam bake in Allegheny county, where
fully 10000 citizens gave him q tre-
mendous ovation, or at the meeting
last week in the Kensington district OF
Philadelphia where 5000 employees of
the ship yards in that section saluted
him as former apprentice boy work
ing in oyeralls in Baldwins locomc-
handsome majority for him on elec-
ton day-it was the same story.
Sheatz--the Man Of the Hour.
The man OF the hour--a man to
meet every requirement OF faithful,
honest, economical administration OF
the Office of state treasurer.
Colonel Wesley r. Andrews, chair
man OF the Republican state commit
tee, who is working night and day to
keep up with his correspondence with
Republicans in every county in the
state who are enlisted for MIR. Sheatz's
campaign, is looking forward to great
results as the outcome of the activity
OF the members of the State League
OF Republican Clubs, Of which Mr.
Sheath is vice president.
After addressing the club mems

to the Hanover fair in Susquehanna
| county on Thursday of next week, and

address meeting in Wilkes-Darre,
