FOOTBALL GOSSIP.

The Yale team will go to Auburn dale Thursday afternoon.
 Yale gained 90 yards in running back punts, in the first half of the Princeton game.
 One misplay or little bad tuck is likely to be sufficient to de tide the Harvard game.
 Yale is said by many to have the most powerful scoring machine it has had under the new rules.
 If Lafayette beats Lehigh Saturday 1t will have to be given high place in the ranking of the teams.
 Both Harvard and Yale are strong on the penalty game. Harvard was penalized so yards Saturday and Yale 135 yards.
 Goebel of the Yale eleven led in losing weight in the Princeton game. He was II pounds lighter at the end of the game.
 Frank Hinkey, who saw Yale for the first time in action on Saturday, is not satisfied that the Blue has the greatest team ever.
 Mckay played for Harvard Satur- day as if he had been in the game every minute of the season. He should be at his best against Yale.
 Captain Coy played through the Yale Princeton game and lost ten pounds. Cooney and Fitzpatrick lost nine each and Lilley lost eight.
 The Navy was scored against Sal urday by Western Reserve Jn an old fashioned criss- -cross. a play that has not been popular for at least ten years.
 Harvard. and Yale stand in a class of their-own making. None Of the coi- leges in the east, with the exception of Lafayette. has done such consistent work all season.
 Had they beaten Yale Saturday the Tigers would have elected their 1910 captain after the game. As they were beaten, the captain will not oe chosen for a week or so.
 Reggie Brown was at New Haven Saturday for Harvard, with Harry Kersburg. Brown has not missed a Yale game this fall and has nOS seen Harvard play at all.
 Captain Miller of Pennsylvania. who looked like an all-American quarter, last week, had it put all over him both in generalship and all-ar round work by Wasmund, the Michigan quarter.
 Seventeen was a lucky number of points Saturday. Yale beat Princeton F to O. Brown defeated Vermont F to 0, as did Williams Amherst. An napolis beat Western Reserve T. to s.
 Former Coach O'Connor's statement that Harvard was better team against Dartmouth Saturday than it was a year ago should be a source of considerable satisfaction to- the Crimson coaches.
 Pennsy probably will be willing to keep Michigan on it's schedule another year At last Yost has made good against a big eastern college team. Chicago howtver, could only hold Cor nell to 6 to 6 score.
 Those who see the Yale Harvard game will have treat in the competi- tion between Coy and Minot. It may be that the Harvard fullback will show the Yale star something. Minot inn proves every day. When he kicks he steps forward three or four yards, coolly, and invariably boots the ball straight ahead, high in the air, and from 37 to yards. His ends can run ahead without bothering to see where the ball is going. His kicks are the cleanest seen in Cambridge in some years.

o'RoURkE GETS FINES REDUCED
Sherwood, O'DeII, Miller and Vale Are Helped by Bridgeport Magnate.

The fines imposed on Dutch Sher- wood, Cy Miller, Al O'Dell and Bill Yale by the national commission for playing in Bridgeport against inde- pendent clubs when ordered not to do so have been reduced to $10 from $200, through influence exerted by Manager James H. O'Rourke of Bridgeport, who has returned from the meeting of the National Association of Baseball Clubs. held at Memphis, Tenn. The players were each fined $50 for each of the four games they played against the Yosts and West Ends. Manager O'Rourke says that the incident may serve as a warning to the players, and that if the offense is repeated they will be fined the full amount.
 Manager O'Rourke also reports that Al O'Dell, who jumped the Bridgeport club four years ago to play with the Lancaster team of the then outlaw Tri-S State league, has been reinstated into the ranks of organized baseball. This action was taken at the request of Manager Connie Mack of the Phila- delphia Americans. It is understood that O'Dell will remain with the Read ing team this year. Philadelphia does rot need him at present, though they have drafted him.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
PRICE MOVEMENT CONFUSED.
Effect of Excitement Over Reported
 Copper Consolidation.

New York Nov. 16.-The confusion in the movement of prices in today 8 stock market was due principally to the effects of yesterdays excitement over the reported copper consolidation. The positiveness of yesterdays asser- tions on that subject forced some rec ognition on the part of those con- cerned in the negotiations and led to more candid admissions of the actual status of the affair. From these it ap- peared that the definite accomplish ment of the plans in view is not to be looked for until. a considerable time has elapsed-perhaps many months. That actual consultations are intended was admitted although important excep- tions amongst the important copper producers were mentioned. This un- certain state of the project threw some hesitation into the speculative move nents based on it. The matter had not lost its force entirely, however, and was still an influence in the mar ket for the metal. Prices there ad- vanced again and there was an in- creased demand from those consuming interests which feared the effects of the growing friendliness manifest amongst the producing interests. Amangamated Copper itself seemed to be pressed consistently on the market anu Ihe ODStdcleS IL encountered LO any further advance at last nights final price took the edge of it's effect on the rest of the list Some of the other stocks concerned in the combination made further advances and there were new points of strength in the stock market to keep up the variety Call loans ruled below five per cent. and reflected an easing tendency. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $5,316,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

HEN HOBBS HOPES
 . TO HOLD HARVARD CAPTAIN.
Fish Had the Best of It Year Ago Both Working Hard for this Years Struggle.

Henry Hobbs. Yale. left tackle. age 22, weight 206. height feet II inches. Hamilton Fish, Harvard, right tack le, aged Fl. weight 200, height 6 feet inches.
 Ham Fish, the Harvard captain, ago with his opponent, Hen Hobbs of Yale. when they met in the big Har- vard- Yale game at New Haven.
 Fish plays right tackle and Hobbs left, and while 1t was a fine battle that the two put up, Fish proved more ag- gressive and faster and played the bet ter Of the two Hobbs found his oppo- nent as slippery as an eel on the of fense and on the defense a regular stone wall. They are due to meet again in the game in the Stadium on Novem- Der 20, and each will take up the fight where he left it off year ago. Both have had one more year of experience, but as to weight and height there will be little difference than when they last met.
 Hobbs will have 1t on the Crimson leader by six pounds in weight, but when it comes to height Fish will tow CT above his opponent by four inches.
 The Yale mar has improved greatly over his form of year ago, however, if reports coming from New Haven are to be relied upon. He is faster on his feet, and under constant coaching has learned a number of tricks in opening up holes and in getting under a play directed towards him when on the de- fense.
 He is more than anxious to show up the Harvard captain this year and is training as he never did before in or der to be able to hold him.
 Hobbs is an old Andover player, and as freshman played at Daramouth. from which college he went to Yale. The Yale coaches are laying all kinds of stress on his ability to hold Fish, whom they regard as the most danger ous man in the Harvard line.
 Fish is the keystone of the Harvard team. The games have showed that without him the Crimson line is only half as strong. He has more experi- ence than any other player on the team to judge what plays are the most advantageous for Harvard. Fish has learned this in four years of play ing on the varsity.
