BIG TEAMS PLAYING
Local Football Fans Can Get
Line on Eastern and
Western Football.
CHICAGO EXPECTS TO WIN.

Local football fans are watching
with interest the outcome of three of
the most important games of the sea-
son being played this afternoon. These
are the Yale-Princeton game, the Chi
cago-Cornell game and the Michigan
Pennsylvania game. Chicago and
Michigan will each play on their home
grounds and by the way they play
the dope artists will be able to get a
good line of comparison on eastern
and western football.
Football students here think Chica-
go will be able to defeat Cornell han
Oily, as the Ithaca team is far from
being the best in the history of that
institution. However, it is quite
probable that Pennsylvania will take
the measure of the Yost eleven as
Penn has splendid team this year,
while Michigan has only a moderately
good one.
1t is hard for the local enthusiasts
to get a good line on the Yale-Prince-
ton teams. Both are in good condi-
ton and have been indulging in fast
practice all week Last Saturday
Dartmouth defeated Princeton 10 to 6.
On the same day Brown played Yale
a 10 to 10 tie. Judging from these
scores, both teams are weaker this
year than usual, but apparently even
ly matched. However. it is difficult
to judge the abilities of the two elev-
ems by last Saturdays scores because
since that time both OF them have
been shaken up and reorganized.

STRAIN TOO MUCH
FOR SEC. METCALF
Head of Naval Department
Hands Resignation to
Roosevelt.
SUCCESSOR TO BE CHOSEN.
TRUMAN n. NEWBURY OF MICH
GAN, METCALF'S ASSISTANT,
FORMERLY DETROIT BUSINESS
MAN TO GET PLACE.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 14.-Secre-
tary Of the Navy Victor H. Metcalf,
rendered his resignation to the presi-
dent to take effect December 1, be-
cause of ill health.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Truman II. Newbury will be named as
Mr.. Metcalf's successor
For more than a year the fact that
Mr.. Metcalf has suffered serious ILL
ness has been well known at the navy
department. Formerly Of vigorous
health. his friends expected that he
would be able to regain his strength,
but constantly recurring illness has
convinced him that the only course
for him to pursue is to sever his con-
nection with active work.
Mr.. Metcalf has suffered from a ner-
vous breakdown that has rendered it
impossible for him to remain at his
desk for any length of time and the
chronic nature of his trouble has
caused him to abandon hope of recov-
cry while burdened with the cares of
office.
On April Is last he went to Califor
mia to review the Atlantic battleship
fleet. He took a long vacation, hoping
to be permane ntly benefited thereby,
returning here September 1.
Upon his resumption of official duty
his illness promptly required and he
frankly told the president that he
could not remain in the cabinet.
Mr.. Metcalf is thoroughly versed in
naval matters, having served on the
house committee on naval affairs
while in congress. His first appoint
ment under this administration was
as secretary of commerce and labor,
which he relinquished in order to &C.
cept the duties of secretary of the
navy, on December II. 1906.
Mr.. Newbury has never filled any
important public office prior to his ap-
pointment as assistant secretary of
the navy, November 1, 1905. prior to
that time he was in business in De-
troit, Mich.

DIAPER GREAT TACKLE.
Pennsyivania's lineman One of the
Greatest on Gridiron.

In Dexter Draper the Pennsylvania
eleven has one of the greatest tackles
the cridiron ever saw. Last year Wal
ter Camp said he was the best left
tackle in the country and selected him
for his All American team. Early in
the season Draper declared he would
not play football this year owing to
his scholastic duties. and this an
nouncement coupled with the loss of
Pauxtis caused considerable gloom in
Penn circles
But Draper was finally dragged out
and made his debut in PENNSYLVANIA

Stanford University to Helm Snort.

Stanford University to Help Sport.
Leland Stanford. Jr, university Of
California has applied for membership
In the Pacific Coast association of the
Amateur Athletic union. The matter
was debated at some length at a meet
Ing OF the athletic committee at Stan
ford, and members were delegated to
see what advantage. if any, it would be
to Stanford to join the Amateur Ath-
lettc union. 1t was decided that it
would help the Amateur Athletic union
to maintain sport on a clean basis on
the coast and also would bring STAN
ford into closer touch with outside
athletic interests. The general advan-
tage to the university was great
enough to induce the athletic associa-
ton to ask for membership.
This is matter that James E. SuIli-
van, president of the Amateur Ath-
ietic union. has been anxious that the
colleges should take up. He believes
that by taking membership the col
ieges would have a chance to argue
against the things some persons say
the Amateur Athletic union is unfair
In doing in the way of disqualifying
college men for their competition with
unsanctioned teams and the like. They
would thus obtain a voice In the gov
eminent of the Amateur Athletic union
and would have an opportunity to de-
bate these points, which at this time
