YANKEE CHAMPION
AND AUSTRALIAN
IN BEST RACES
Kramer and Clarke Are Put ON
Scratch in Two Events
at Vel0drome.

The Handicapped for the Velodrome
cycle races tomorrow afternoon has
placed Frank Kramer and Jackie
Clarke together on scratch in the one
mile professional handicap, and also
stationed them alongside of each other
for the start of the flve-mile open, SO
tina both these races will be a duel be-
tween these rivals of the board saucer,
and some great racing is looked for.
However, these two will not have 1t all
to themselves, for there are thirty other
professional riders, including the pick
of the Eastern and Western contin-
gents. who will take part.
The one-mile handicap will be a par
ticularly hard-fought affair, for the
men out on the forward marks have
been treated literally as to their al
lowance. and as they are going great
guns nowadays, they will compel the
scratch men TO hustle. There is also a
one-mile invitation race for the pro-
f~essionals.
The feature event for the amateurs
will be an unknown distance race. These
affairs always prove interesting be-
cause of the uncertainty as to when
the finish will come. The amateurs will
also be seen in one of those short two
third mile handicaps, which means a
scramble all the way. Then there will
be q one-mile novice to top off the pro-
gram.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Oct. 17.-Al-
though q bit early yet to show any
development of the finer football due
to the local system of nursing" Yale
gives promise of turning out the speed
lest team in her history under the
new rules. Practically a veteran team,
the 1907 freshmen nave contributed can
didates that are making last seasons
regulars Guido themselves to hold their
positions.
With the eligibility of Hobbs and An
druss. the former a Dartmouth star
of a few years ago, the Blue has its
best line of years. Blddle has been a
revelation in the games so far of the
possibilities of a comparatively light
but faster centre. Cooney, a previ-
Gus centre and 1907 guard. was tried
at tackle in the Syracuse game and as
a result was moved back to guard,
Goebel going to tackle. The latter is
tried and true at guard and will likely
play that position for his third sea-
son, Cooney going to the second string
Cooney is playing faster that ever,
and the strength of the line can be
gagged when a man of his calibre Is
forced to the scrubs.
On the end Yale is fortunate. Kill
patrick, an old Andover man, is being
used there, but is equally good as a
quarterback. He's heavy, but fast; In
fact, he's a track man good for III sec

arm and a ten-cent head" You'll have
to use your muscles, to be sure, and
you'll have to be in good condition to
finish the fifteen miles. but you'll never
win this or any other race unless you
bring into play the brain that has been
given YOU to help out your muscles and
sinews.
Use your head.
