When the Occidental and Pomona
football teams clash at Claremont to-
day the conference championship,
barring another tie, will be settled.
Both teams are in first class condi-
tion and eager Tor the fray. The
OXys put in the entire afternoon yes
terday bucKing the scrubs, punting and
practcing signals. Coach b. Ii. ~or-
ton, when questioned as TO his opinion
of the probable outcome of the pend
ing contest, showed that he held the
ability OF the SageDrushers in high
esteem.
I'VE expect a hard game, and don't
think for minute that we underesti-
mate Pomona's strength. We will be
there to win. The work OF the team
has been very unsatisfactory this week,
too much individualism having spoiled
the team work. am satisfied, however,
that when the last half is over, Po-
mona will know that Occidental has
been on the field" said GoTton.
Captain Collins of the Presbyterians
is confident that when the referee blows
the last whistle, the Sagebrush colors
will be trailing in the dust. With the
exception of Thompson, who has bad
shoulder, which, it is expected will not
interfere with his playing, all the play
johnson will relieve Baer at quarter
in the second half.
Pomona in Form
The Congregationalist student body
are confident that when today's game
is history the eagle of victory will be
perched upon their banners. Their
gridiron gladiators have been trained
to the minute and Coach Stanton
shares with Gorton the feeling of re-
spect for the merits of the opposing
team. Captain Fuller, who will gradu-
ate this year. intends to make a des-
perate effort to further glorify his
name in today's contest, this being his
last opportunity to fight in football
togs for his college. Kepner, who
plays the left tackle, is showing Won
derful form and will undoubtedly rival
the reputation of his big brother, who
is assisting Coach Stanton. Shut is
reported to be in much better condition

MINOR LEAGUES MAY
LACK STAR PLAYERS
Options Obtained on Almost Every
High Class Player-More Than
$4,000 Spent by Ger
tain Clubs

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Because Of
activity of the major
league ball clubs in drafting untried
players for next season it is reported
that if these clubs retain all the men
they have purchased there would be a
serious dearth OF competent talent in
the minor leagues.
The scouts" employed by the Ameri-
can and National league clubs have
obtained options on the services OF
every high class player in
every minor league club, some of the
big league clubs having as many as
hfty-dve men to try out in the early
practice next spring.
Never before has there been such
keen rivalry for high class baseball
talent, and the effect will be shown
in the amounts spent by the big league
clubs for new men.
Before this season it was believed
that q magnate who spent as much as
900 for untried players was rash,
but this year several of the clubs have
exceeded $4,000.

BOSTON, Nov. 19.-Football fever Is
epidemic in Boston tonight. The game
between Harvard and Yale-the climax
of the season-to be played In the Har-
ward stadium tomorrow, was almost the
sole topic of conversation in hotels,
clubs and cafes and on the streets.
The demand for seats has caused
fabulous prices to prevail Seldom in
the forty years history of football have
the teams Of the two universities met
upon such equal terms. Yale was
slight favorite in the betting tonight,
but orders have been scaled consider
ably from the to 3 of two weeks ago,
and tonight the price was 10 TO y
with few bets at even money.
The supply of tickets has been linn
tied to $4,000, the seating capacity of
the stadium. Ticket-holders, with Few
exceptions, are either alumni or mem
bers of families of alumni.
So strict have been the rules govern
ing the issue of tickets that the crowd
will be a more thoroughly college one
than ever before.
Teams Resting
The two teams are storing up energy
a few miles away In the quiet nooks
of Auburndale and Medheld. Reports
from the two camps tonight were op-
timistic. The injured list had been
nearly WlpeO out SllCG lllS iieAAd hoAAAS'
of last Saturday. Captain Fish of
Harvard, who received an injury to
his chest, was reported in good condi-
ton, and an undoubted participant in
the opening scrimmage, If not in the
entire game.
1t is confidently expected that with
two unusually developed, carefully
trained teams, the game tomorrow
would demonstrate, as never before,
the possibilities of American football.
Each team is expected to uncover
spectacular plays. with the old-fash-
ioned line plunging frequently varied
with well-executed forward passes and
on-side kicks.
Both elevens have able kickers, but
in this branch of the game Yale is
acknowledged to be superior to Har-
ward, as Coy can probably outklek
Ninot. The Blue ends, Fitzpatrick and
Savage, are faster than l.. L. Smith

one of the Yale backs, is regarded as

is held to be a more consistent gamer
than any Yale back.

platers, while the third is virtually a
repeater. Roy 4. may be a contender
in this race, with Raleigh and Charley
Paine fighting ii out in the fifth. Bar
ney Oldield, who was never known to
win without two figures opposite his
name on the slate, has a brace of good
ones to outrun in Madeline Musgrave
and Nagazam.
For Juarez the outlook is indeed
rosy. Colonel Winn yesterday an
nounced that the meeting would open
on the first, but at present there are
not enough stalls to accommodate the
horses. A first class grand stand is
being built along the same lines of
the Santa Anita plant and will seat
about 5000 persons. Paddock, stables
and betting ring also are the best
that money can build. Cars are now
running from El Paso to the track,
which is about two miles distant.
Horses are arriving daily. and with
the large number of racing persons
already on the ground a great meet
ing is looked forward to.
w. H. Gleason, than whom there are
few better known or liked turf men in
the west, died yesterday at El Paso.
Gleason, prominently identified with
the Salt Lake meeting, had promised
to lend all of his energies and abilities
toward making the Juarez track a
success from the first.
From the present outlook the Occi-
dentals will give the Los Angeles team
a real battle Sunday afternoon at
Chutes park. Dillon swears that a
colored nine shall never take the
measure of his Seraphs. Black merely
grins and hints of surprises to await
a certain baseball captain of local re-
nown.
While the majority Of the horsemen
who have been racing at ogden WILL
in all likelihood, ship to Oakland for
the winter of racing there, which opens
today, at least three of them will ship
direct to Juarez, Mexico. l. F. Jean
nette, owner Of Charlie Doherty, con-
sistent runner at Buena Vista. Salt
Lake, leaves soon. He will include in
his shipment besides Charlie Doherty
the string of horses belonging to II.
Wilson, which includes Ethel Day
Wander, Rose Daily. Alice Collins and
one other, and probably will take along
Lukeramus, whom Mr.. Jeanette claims
to be a coming 2-year-old. These
horses will be trained by Mr.. Jeanette
and run by him.

NEW YORK SCHOOLS
ABOLISH FOOTBALL
Too Many Players Injured on Gridiron
to Suit MISUNDERSTANDING May
Be Hard Blow to the
Game

NEW YORK, Nov 19.-Football has
been banished from the New York pub
lie schools by the board of supervisors
because of the many accidents in
which bones were broken and pupils
were otherwise injured.
Revision Of the rules has failed to
eliminate the danger Of the sport, and
the supervisors decided that the game
should be abolished.
AS the New York schools constitute
the largest single body of football
players. the blow to the game is con-
sidered severe and may have an effect
throughout the country.
1t is understood that the supervisors
corresponded with school directors in
other cities and that the action taken
is the result of a series of conferences
and may extend to other school
systems.

viii Be Hung Up for
Contest

NEW YORK. Nov. 19.-American
sporting men are greatly interested in
a report from Paris that Joe Jeanette
and Sam McVey have been matched to
fight thirty rounds there on December
II. The battle, which is the talk of
Paris. is expected to draw a great
crowd. The promoters have hung up
a $500 purse, of which the winner will
receive $500.
Jeanette and McVey, both colored,
met in Paris in a grueling mill last
winter, and in the forty-ninth round
McVey's seconds threw up the sponge,
as the Californian was severely pun
ished. But prior to that Jeanette
was knocked down more than a dozen
times and was on the verge of going to
sleep on several occasions when his re-
markable recuperative powers enabled
him to continue.

Gets Many Pointers on High
Schools Play

U. S. c. Props, 6; Pasadena High, 6
The atmosphere of the University of
Southern California seems to be breed
ing the tie football score fever these
days, for the academy teams of the
Methodist and Pasadena high schools
battled to 6 to tie on Bovard field
before a crowd which, in size, did lit
tie credit to the spirit of either institu-
tion. Both teams were in good con-
dition and played snappy ball for the
greater part of the game, the only
flaws being an occasional tumble.
The game was to have been played
this afternoon instead of yesterday, but
at the last minute Pasadena had the
date changed in order that they might
play without the knowledge of the
Throop Polytechnic coaches, as the
high school boys meet the machinists
next week and did not want them to
become acquainted with their style OF
play. The latter plans miscarrled,
however, for before the game had
progressed far Coach Spires of Throop
was on the grandstand, notebook and
pencil in hand.
Fifteen-Minute Halves
Owing to the late hour when the
that the halves should run only fif-
teen minutes. The academy kicked off
to Pasadena. The latter made the re-
quired distance once and were then
forced to kick. The academy repeated
the same process and all through the
half the two teams struggled near the
center of the field, neither having any
great advantage over the other. No
scoring was done in this period. In
the second the play livened up a lit
tie and each team managed to work a
little closer to the others goal line.
About five minutes after play began
the Methodists pushed the ball down
the field to their own thirty-yard line.
Here they lost 1t and the high school
team prepared for a double pass play.
The first pass worked to perfection.
but when the player carrying the bali
attempted to make the second pass he
threw it directly into the arms of
Right End Hummell who sprinted to
the goal line, making the first score
for the academy. A few minutes after
this the Pasadena team scored on a
forward pass, which according to the
referee was executed in the correct
way, but which looked unfair from the
side lines. Right Half Seafert had
the ball carrying 1t through center. He
cleared the line, but was tackled by
Don Wallace. AS he went down he
passed the ball to Loughery, who ran
for a touchdown. The Methodists pro-
tested that Seafert had passed the ball
after he was downed, but Referee
Rhinehart decided against them, the

Too Fine a Game to Abolish, Says

that it should be modified to some

end 1 think the colleges and uniyer-

situation carefully with the members
