OPPOSES FORWARD PASS.
Hogan, ex-YaIe Star, Discusses the
 Trouble With Present Football.

The question as to a revision of the football rules is rapidly getting down to an argument as to whether the game is too open or too close. A general sentiment among those who have been shocked by fatal accidents this year seems to be that the play should be made still looser, while another ele ment deploring such occurrences just as much, thinks that certain features of the new and open game have been largely responsible. This latter ele- ment, which has as one of it's chief opponents Jim Hogan, Yale's star tackle in 1904, is opposed to the for ward pass and the neutral zone be- tween the scrimmage lines. He is not convinced, generally speaking, that the 10 yard rule is necessary, but is not so bitter against that phase of the new rules. Bill Edwards of Princeton is in full agreement with Hogan in this matter.
 Here is the trouble" says Hogan. You have your tackle, for instance, with a play coming at him. He has to dive into it, as he always did, to break it up, but now he has to go in with his head up, locking for a forward pass. He had to dive in in the old days, too, but he knew what he was going to find on the other side of the line, after he had broken through, and he could charge low. This condition is simply intensified by the neutral zone. The offense has too much of a chance to gather power before it hits the line. The men are playing in looser fashion. and lots of these accidents to backs and necks come from just such crash

BRIDGEPORT A 100000.
Springfield Man Says That Burg Is the One Perpetual Frost of the Connecti- cut League.

The sporting writer on the Spring field News relieves his feelings and expresses his own and the opinions of many others concerning Jim O'Rourke's near baseball team, in this wise:
 Like the poor. the Bridgeport base ball club is always with us. For the good of the circuit, or otherwise, changes of cities are constantly being made We are in Norwich today; to- morrow we are in Worcester and then we find ourselves next day back in Norwich. We forsake Meriden and give Waterbury it's conge, and soon afterward take them both back to our hearts again, only to later on give Meriden another swift kick where it will do the most good. But, to again lapse into the metaphorical, Bridge port remains a regular Tennyson brooks-it goes on forever What mat ters it if every other club drops pot of money whenever it goes to that alert sporting hamlet? What boots it to the other managers to cry out against O'Rourke and his opera bouffe baseball town? Of what avail to roast the defunct burg to turn every time league meeting Is held? O'Rourke is the. Connecticut league, and as long as he wants that bum town. Bridgeport. saddled upon the circuit, just so long will it remain hoodoo to the organization"

DAVIS TENNIS TROPHY.
Mclaughlin and Long Representing America in AustraIia-Match Begins Today.

Sydney, N. s. w, Nov. 26.-AH eyes in the lawn tennis world will be cen tered here, where the matches will be played in the international tournament fo' the Davis trophy. The series is to continue three days, with two single matches tomorrow, the one doubles en- gagement of the event Monday, and the remaining pair of singles contests on Tuesday. Americas representatives are the two youthful Californians who distinguished themselves so famousiy in the course of their triumphal trip across the continent during the sum- mer with three others of the Pacific coast tennis contingent-Maurice E. Mclaughlin and Melville H. Long, both of the University of California. Nor man F. Brookes and A. F. Wilding will probably bear the brunt of the attack for the Australasians, if they do not assume the entire burden of the cups defense.

KENNEDY LOOKS
 FOR GREAT CREW.
Present Eli Oarsmen Surpass Prede- cessors in Workmanship and Form.

The faH training of the Yale crew ends this week. More rowing has been done this fall than ever before to bring out new material. That the effort was very successful is shown by an interview with John Kennedy, Yale's coach, who said:
 After our defeat last June and the loss of many good men by graduation, the outlook at the opening of the fall practise was anything but promising. Since then, however, the work of the squad has given great encouragement. The past few months have dem- onstrated, above all. that we have a good rowing crew, which, in water manship and form, surpasses any of its predecessors.
 "A prophecy of victory at New Lon- don next spring would be rendered Sn- certain by the fact that Harvard has much well-tried material, which gives promise of a phenomenal crew. It is certain, however, that they will not excel Yale in skill or watermanship. Strength alone can defeat us.
 "The stroke problem, which has so long been unsettled, is now shaping it. self satisfactorily. According to pres ent indications there will be at leest two good strokes available next spring."

ing plays against a loose and broken line. when the men do not have an opportunity to find themselves before they are in the thick of the play"
 Tt isn't only the line men who are affected by the forward pass says Mir. Edwards. Men who are catching the ball are of necessity in a dangerous position. The end or tackle who is to take the pass has to go down the field. turn quickly for the throw, and,- after catching the ball, turn again to go down the field. He is almost invari- ably tackled as soon as he has re- ceived the pass, and. being brought down without chance to save him self in his fall, the chance of injury is considerable. The play cost Yale the use of fine end in the Princeton game, when Vaughan's knee was so badly wrenched that he could not play against Harvard"

ROLLING FOR PLEAsuREq
Murphy Can't See It in Nado's Burg Would Go Across in Neutral Terri tory.

When Charles L. Nado's position in the duckpin game, as reported in The Bulletin, was called to the attention of Allie Murphy on Friday, the Norwich roller simply smiled. ~'1t seems I have started something" said Murphy. When heard of that Danielson mans record I thought had found an oppo- nent who would be a worthy contest ant for a series of games, and accord ingly issued challenge. The under current of sarcasm in MT. Nado's reply seems hardly called for. But why does he invite anyone to roll on the Dan ielson alleys. if he rolls only for pleas ure? If rolling for pleasure is his game, why not choose alleys that are in fit condition, such as Moosup We can compare records on neutral ground and by competitive rolling"

Philadelphia, Nov. 26.-The Philadel- phia National league baseball club was sold today to a syndicate, of which Horace s. Fogel of this city is the head. The price paid by teh new own CTS is said to have been $350,000.
 The deal was consummateu late to- day in the office of Clarence Wolf, one of the owners of the Philadelphia club. As soon as the papers transferring the stock to the new owners had been signed. the representatives of the sym dicate roceeded to Camden, N. J., and organized by electing Horace s. Fogel, president; William Conway, secretary, and Frank s. Elliott, treasurer. These gentlemen, with John A. Schwartz and board of directors. This step was made necessary because the club is incor- porated in New Jersey.
 Charles W. Murphy, president of the Chicagd club of the National league, represented his organization at the con- ference to see that the provisions of the National league constitution were properly observed. The fact that MT. Murphy was present caused a rumor to be circulated that he would be finan- cially interested in the new manage ment. but this MT. Murphy subsequent ly denied.
 The Philadelphia club was formerly owned by Clarence Wolf, a banker; James P. McNichol, a prominent Phil adelphia politician, and the late Israel w. Durham, also political leader.
 The new owners are well known in this city. President Fogel has been identified with several Philadelphia newspapers as @ sporting writer and at different times managed the 1n- dianapoIis and New York National league clubs; William Conway was formerly president of the Philadelphia Builders exchange; Frank s. Elliott is a lawyer; John A Schfartz a silk man. ufacturer, and Thomas Curley is 8 law yer and prominent politician of Cam den.
 William J. Shettsline, who was sec retary of the old organization, will probably act as business manager of the new syndicate.
 Kling Denies Runnor of Managership.
 Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 26.-"T know nothing of any deal by which I am to become manager Of the Philadelphia National league baseball club" said John Kling today when informed that the Philadelphia club has been sold today and that he had been mentioned as the probable manager for the new owners.
