GEORGETOWN PREPARING FOR
FALL AND SPRING TRACK MEETS
Captain of Team Soon to Be Elected and Things Are Ex

Georgetown is to make great efforts this
on the same plane as of yore, when it
was represented by Duffy, Bernie We

OF course it does not expect TO do this
in a single season, but it does expect
to get crowd out before the winter IS
over that will make other colleges sit
up and take notice.
Manager Cochran is at present in full
charge of the department. A captain
will be elected within a fortnight and then
the real work will begin. The manager
has. been on the job ever since school
started, and has already formulated his
plans. SO that the captain, will only have
the duty of developing tie candidates.
The indoor meet Will be held in March,
about two weeks later than last year.
AS is the custom. all the big colleges Will
be invited to send representatives, and 1t
is expected that most of them w. IL accept.
1t is also the intention of those in charge
to get some of the Olympic stars to COM
pete.
In addition to this meet another one
will be held in the late spring on the
outdoor track. Every fall this has been
doomed and usually 1t has fallen through.
Whether the event will come off this year
or not is of course not certain, but 1t
looks as though it will be pushed by the
MANAGEMENT, since arrangements have al
Rady been made for putting the track in
condition. A deep narrowing will be
given it Immediately after the foot bali

when w. T. Overton ran a mile and

track record of LBS 20 was equaled by
Eyebright.
Interest conferred principally in the

Captain and Quarterback OF Princeton Eleven.
The anti-clmaX of the intercollegiate
foot ball season will be reached next
Saturday in three games which will
make or mar the season of 1898 for at
least six big teams. The teams which
will be brought together are Yale and
Princeton at Princeton. Pennsylvania and
Michigan at Ann Arbor and Chicago and
Cornell at Chicago. These three contests
are in each case the first of two games
which each of the parties, with the ex-
ception of Chicago. are playing for
championship donors. There will be
other big battles, it is true notably the
Harvard dartmouth game but the three
mentioned are the ones on which all eyes
will be focused.
OF the three. there is no doubt that the
battle between Yale and Princeton will
be watched the most keenly. AT this
writing Yale is heavy favorite and Is
certain to remain SO until the day of the
game. Although the Princeton coaches
may be satisfied with the work of their
team. it has been most disappointing
to the Tigers rooters and is responsible
for the fact that those who are willing
to wager money on foot ball results have
very little which says the Tigers have
anything like an even chance. Barring
yesterdays game the Tigers have been
played to 90 score three times this fall.
and altogether their record has not been
such as to inspire confidence. The three
teams which thus Inundated Princeton
were Lafayette, Syracuse and West
Point. In each case comparative scores
give Yale much the better of the argu-
ment. Syracuse and West Point were the
only teams played by both Yale and
Princeton. and whereas the Tigers could
not score at all against either the Ellis
secured a touchdown in each instance.
Coach Roper Optimistic.
Now the reports are coming from Tiger
town to the effect that Coach Roper is
entirely satisfied with the record of his
team to date and that the three score
less games were all a part of a cam
paign of deception which the Tigers are
operating to fool Yale. There may be
an element of truth in this, but certainly
not much. for any coach knows that there
is nothing which buoys up team so
much as the knowledge of its ability to
score, particularly at critical moments.
This the Tigers have not demonstrated
that they can do, and 1t is sure to prove
q handicap to them.
Comparing the men of the two elevens,
man for man. Yale again looks like the
winner The Ellis have an experienced
back field, fair ends and a magnificent
line. while Princeton has no more than
three men who can lay claim to stellar
rank In weight Yale has much the bet
ter Of the argument, while in speed her
men should hold their own with Prince
ton. Dillon. the Tiger qua rterhacl and
captain Is the only man at Princeton
as anything extraordinary but this year
he has been lamentably out of condition, |
and in fact has rot been a.1ie 10 par
ticipate in more than half Of the games.

DISTRICT DUCKPIN LEAGUE

At the rate the boys are going so early
in the season high scores and averages
of past years will be smashed before the
season is half over. Hard luck Spar
roughs! In their schedule match against
Belmonts for Tuesday night but four of
their men showed up. A postponement
could not be arranged, so they lost three
games. In this match Michaud of the
Belmonts rolled a remark able set-111-13O-
123. 364. Garrisons are still on top in the
league standing. ten games won, five lost
Garrisons also have high game, 557, while
Royals have high set 1866. Three teams
are tie for second place and four teams
are tie for third place. The hoodoo which
hung over the Runners for the past
three weeks has not left them, they losing
two games to the Royals this week. Res
olutes took three games from Arlingtons
and jumped from last place to tie for
third. Sparrough's rolling four men against
five and losing three games to Belmonts,
went into ninth place. with Arlingtons
having strong hold on last place, win
ming four games and losing eleven.
HONOR ROLL FOR WEEK.

YALE IS PLAYED
TO A STANDST|LL
Brown for the Second Time
Holds Old Eli to a Tie Score.
CareIeSsneSs Loses
Game.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, November T.
For the second time in the history Of the
foot ball relations between the UNIVERSE
ties Brown played a tie game with Yale
today, the score being 10 to TO- The
to 6. The visitors outplayed Yale in
practically every department of the game,
except that of kicking, and but for care
lessness in catching punt out from Yale
goal line in the seond half and for hold
ing in the line just before the close of
the contest would undoubtedly have won
the game.
Browns first score came quickly after
the opening Of the first half Hobbs
kicked off for Yale, Brown rushed 1t down
to the 4O-yard line, Mckay and Mayhem
Carried 1t 20 yards more, Sprackling
pa~Sed It forward to Dennie and the lat
ter carried it over for touchdown. Nc
Kay failed to kick goal.
Goal From Field.
Five minutes later, after Brides and Coy
had rushed the ball down to Browns
oO-yard line and Brown had held Yale for
second down. Coy kicked his first goal
from the field much to the surpr Sc Of
every one.
In the second half johnson replaced
Murphy at quarterback on the Yale
eleven. Following the kickoff, runs by
Coy brought the ball back to the center
of the field and then Yale scored on a
forward pass, the first from Philbin to
Logan for twenty yards and the second
from Johnson TO Haines. who took the
ball over the line. Hobbs kicked the goal
Two minutes later Dennie intercepted a
forward pass from Philbin to Haines, ran
10 yards and crossed Yales goal line.
There was no goal kicked. as when the
BAH was punted leisurely out to Sprack-
ling he allowed 1t to just touch the
ground. In the last minute of play Nc
Kay ran 40 yards for a touchdown, but it
was not allowed, as there had been hold
ing In the line. The lineup:

East VS.. West.

The critic has. very little to guide him
in balancing the chances of Pennsylvania
and Michigan. This Is strictly an inter
sectional fight between the east and
west. The teams have had no common
opponents. and there is absolutely no
method of making comparison of
scores. Last year 1t was pretty generally
the impression that Michigan would win
in view of the slaughter Pennsylvania
suffered at the hands of the Carlisle In
dians and the creditable game Michi' an
had been putting up throughout the sea-
son. Yet the Quakers rallied enough
strength to once more stop the Yost
scoring machine.
This year both elevens are supremacy

Hard Game for Nebraska.

OMAHA. Neb.. November 7.-Nebraska
University won from Iowa Agricultural
College today by score of % to II. The
game was replete with open formation
plays. forward passes and spectacular
runs. 81 Lambert, for Ames. and Cook,
for Nebraska, each made runs OF nearly
so yards. Lambert caught punt on
Nebraskas 4S-yard line and ran back
with 1t for a touchdown.
On line plays Nebraska had much the
better of 1t. Cooks run of forty eight
yards, just as the game was closing,
being the feature.

Northwestern Lacks Practice.

CHICAGO, November Lack of ex-
perience in intercollegiate foot ball was
in greater part responsible for the defeat
of Northwestern by Purdue today, the In
dianans winning by score of Is to 10.
Individually the Northwestern players
displayed ability, but their concerted
plays were SLOW and inaccurate. Purdue
being upon the ball many times before
the play was well started. The kicking
of kittleman, Holloway and Ruffner was
spectacular and Manley played an ex-
cellent game at left half.

This is certain to prove a strong handi.
cap to him, for unless he can enter the
Yale game absolutely sound the chances

ond half so ferocious is Yale's play. In
Tibbot. Read and McCrohan Princeton
has a good trio of backs. but Yale has
two sets of backs who are fully as good,
taken as q whole, while Cow the Eli full
back can hardly be duplicated at Prince
ton. even with two men.
Princeton Outclassed.
If Princeton does not win there will be
much wailing and gnashing of teeth in
Tigertown, and almost certainly an over
hauling of the present coaching system
Since 1876 when Yale and Princeton
started their annual series, Yale has won
twenty one times and Princeton only STEW
en-. Four games have resulted in ties. Last
year was the first time in the long series
of games that Yale had been able to
win from Princeton four successive times
1t used to be said that no class ever
graduated from Princeton without having
seen at least one victory over Yale. But
last years sensational 12-1O game which
Yale won destroyed even this precedent.

New Charter not Adopted.

At the election held Monday
for the pursose of either accept
ing or rejecting the new charter
law passed by last legislature,
the result was that the old char
ter will still remain in force, the
new one failing to carry by a
vote of 90 to 80. There were
one hundred votes cast, one hav-
ing been thrown out.
1t is our opinion that the rea-
son for such a strenuous opposi-
ton to the new law was that
it was not thoroughly under
stood by all the voters.
