YALE's TWO FAMOUS TEAMS.
Gurdon Browns Could Have Beaten McCIung's-But McCIung Should Have Scored Against Browns.

Whenever a group of old football players is gathered together there are sure to crop up "reminiscences of old days, former players and earlier teams, and with this review of the past comes discussion as to what was really the strongest team that ever lined up on the field. For a long time at New Haven the belief prevailed that Lee McClungss team was the best that Yale ever produced, but the advent of Cor don Browns eleven with it's powerful tackle back formation first began to shake the confidence of the older team.
 Just after Browns season closed there was a disposition wherever Yale men met to make this an issue, and the younger contingent stood firmly for the opinion that Gordon Browns mem could have beaten McClung's. Naturally it was a point that could never be settled, but it is safe to say that while the individual brilliansy and beyond that the individual inde- pendence and football initiative of the men comprising -McClung's team stand probably unequalled, the style of team play perfected by Gordon Browns men in attack could not have been met suc- cessfully by any team, even one like McClung's, unless that team had had an opportunity of practicing against the tackles back play, and that, too, for. g. considerable period of time.
 Hence it is certain as anything can be in football way that Browns team would have been able to carry the ball against McClung's for very considerable and ofte-repeated gains which would have resulted in scoring. In return McClung's team would have pretty certainly scored on Browns through the use of their favorite 20-30 play. with McClung carrying the ball. This player was unmatched by anyone, and in the Princeton game the year before he had actually averaged, in a succession of some seven or eight plays, 19 and a fraction yards to the run Walter Camp in Outing.

TY COBB NO HUNTER.
Hans Wagner Back in Disgust from Visit to Home of the Georgia Peach.

Hans Wagner and Ty Cobb have de- cided not to be chums, at least not un- til the hunting season is over. Hans says Ty don't know what good hunt ing is and that he can prove it. Tvs side of the case has not been heard by the people of Pittsburg, but it is felt that the end is not yet.
 It appears that during the last worlds champion season Wagner and Cobb got very chummy. Ty told Hans that down in Georgia there was much game, and he invited Hans to come to Georgia and fetch his dogs. There was much correspondence, and finally Hans appears to have slipped off to Georgia last Wednesday. Late Saturday he reached home again, full of disgust.
 ''Yes, went to Macon and we looked about some for game. I could have had a crack at a ground squir- rel or two and possibly a barnyard chicken. but as for hunting Georgia won't do. MT. Cobb is one of the most genial men ever met, but there are two things we will never agree on. game and baseball.
 Why, tarnation take it all" thun- dered Wagner, "I have lost four whole days of real hunting on tha "trip south. No more of it for Hans. The south Is all right and Cobb's all right, only I wish he had not told me about that swell hunting in Georgia. I'm losing fs tn in everyone"

 President W. J. Tracy of the Con necticut league states, according to the Waterbury Republican, that the for mer Springfield owner was incorrect in his statement that the Waterbury owner had not paid his league dues. According to MT. Tracy. these dues are paid, and were paid before MT. Durant introduced the motion at the recent meeting to give James H. O'Rour4e salary of $500. Speaking of the case. MT. Tracy said: "O'NeiPs effort to buy the Waterbury club dates from last winter, when he went to Waterbury and made his first offer. At the recent league meeting MT. O'Neil was present and when told that W. w.. Hanna of New Britain was ready to make out a check for s3,OO0 for the team for M. J. Finn of Little Rock he stated that he would raise that figure to $3,250 and directed me to make such an offer to MT. Durant I did so and received word that he would not sell and furthermore that he had turned down an offer of $4,000 for the franchise. At the Springfield meeting MT. Durant stated that the club was S2,700 behind at the beginning of the season, but that he had settled all claims out of the seasons profits"
 President Tracy said that he knew of no new developments regarding the sale of the New Britain club aside of the fact that Connie Macks brother was anxious to buy out Hanna's inter- est, or any other franchise in the league. Mack was a bidder for the Bridgeport franchise, -but received no more encouragement than others who have tried to buy out Uncle Jeems The umpfres will not be selected un- til next March, according to the presi- dent

college at Cornell is very busy de- pertinent and there is so keen de- mand for places in it, out of all pre- portion to the actual capacity of the school that delinquents of any kind are dealt with summarily. In the case of Talbot it appears to be chiefly hard luck He failed to report to make up his condition, seemingly because he didn't get the notification in time.
 The college authorities. however, wouldn't let him make it up when he did return to Ithaca in time for the opening of the academic year, and as an irate ex-Cornellian put 1t, Just threw away six points in the intercol- legiate games" The departure of Tal- bot took away the two other men re- maining in college who scored in the intercollegiate games in the field events. Cook made 1-2 points in the meet, in the broad jump and pole vault. However, Cornell still has Percy Tay- Tor, the American record holder for two miles. Taylor has bad ankle and wasn't able to run in the cross country championship at Brookiine.
 A brief glance over CornelIs list of champions serves to show that the Ithacans have had very hard luck in trying to keep the track athletes in residence. For instance, Dave Munson, who won the intercollegiate mile run in 1904 and 1905, left college before the beginning of his senior year, presum- ably because he wanted to finish up his work to become a doctor, and entered the University of Buffalo. Later he came to New York and entered the New York Law school Another crack distance man of about that time was Warren Ellis Schutt, the Rhodes schol- ar. Schutt was the two mile intercol- legiate champion of 1903 and 1904. Schutt's class at Cornell was 1905, but he won that Rhodes scholarship and did not compete in his senior year, going to Oxford instead

DONALD RECALLS LINEUP
 WITH BEMuS PIERCE.
Harvard Man Roushsd It, But Indian
 Got Even.

A lot of good football stories have been going the rounds lately. and some of them old ones, but none better than the one "Barkie" Donald, now a lawyer in Boston, and a member of the Har- yard advisory football committee, tells of on himself in a game that Harvard played against the Carlisle Indians in 1896.
 It was the first time Harvard and Carlisle had Smet-Harvard winning to 0-and Donald played tackle against Bemus Pierce, probably the finest specimen of physical development the Indians ever had, as well as a won- derful player.
 Donald. none too gentle player, for he had to fight every day against Bert Waters, then coach, knew how to also, when charging had to do a little execution with his elbows and the open hand, just as the play was coming on. He was playing legitimately under the old game. He roughed it with the big Indian and caught him hard several times. But finally Bemus Pierce had something to say.
 MT: Donald" he said. quietly, "you have been hitting me, and If you, do it again I shall hit you" But Donald did not heed the warning. and in the next play he bowled at Bemus harder than ever for extra measure. Still the big Indian did not retaliate at that time.
 But on the next play-well '1 thought was hit by a sledge hammer in the next scrfmmage," said Donald after the game. T remember charging, but that was all. I was down and out, but when came to I somehow wobbled to my feet and went back against the Indian. I was SO dazed I could just see the big fellow moving about. and as we spared off for the next play he said in matter of fact tone:
 "Mr. Donald-You hit me one, two, three times. hit you only once-we are square"
 And you bet we were square" Don aid always adds as he tells the story.

New York. Dec. 9.-A st ries of spills tonight robbed Rutt anal Clark and Root and Fogler of two hard earned laps and slowed down the pace of the six day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden. Under the rule lap four fifths won goes for nauasht in spill; l it must be full lap ID count. But l there is always a chance for a dis tanced tail ender to rob the leaders by deliberate fall and there were cries tonight of rfakir' when the tumbles happened too opportune1y to please the crowd.
 At 10 o'clock the sprinters had ap- parently given up in despair trying to gain distance and the. score stood at 1S31.3 miles for the leaders as against 182S.3 "a year ago.
 At 10.30 there was a bad collision directly in front of tae judges stand. Pye, Walthour and West all went down the head and had seiteral of his teeth knocked out, but plue:lSily got up again and rushed into the race. Clark Gets Racf, a Lost Lap Five minutes later Clark, of the re- constructed team of Clark and Rutt, shot out from the bunch in a furious sprint which lasted six minutes. When the riders strung out again it was found that the ju dges had awarded Clark and Rutt tbs lap they lost as penalty for combiHg.
 Hardly had the riders rested from the last sprint whtsn, another team, this time Stein and HI H. made a dash for lost lap, which they got.
 Sprint after sprint followed. The audience was just settling back into its seats when Root and Fogler started away at breakn eek speed. Relieving each other alternately, they kept up their gait for seventeen minutes, but were unable to draw away from the leaders.
 In the scran ible, however, Lawson and Demara dropped back to second division, Anderso and Vanoni lost an other lap, Cam eron and Frebs two laps and the Georjyet brothers almost fell out of sight. During the sprint Fogler drank champagne, but Root took no stimulant.
 Krebs tired and was Tapped repeat edly, despite the efforts of his partner to regain the distance. The record for the corresponding hour made year ago was 1SS b.7.
 Two o'cloc k score:
 Rutt and Clark, Hill and Stein, Root and Fogler, Walthour and Collins, Halstead an d Lawrence, Pye and Hehir 1906.1.
 Lawson and Demara, Mftten and West 1906.
 Andersorl and Vanoni 1905.e
 Georget and Georget 1905.7.

CORNELL LOSES STAR ATHLETES
Talbot and Cook Barred by Scholar ship RequirementszHard Luck With Ithacan Track Men.

The loss of Lee Talbot, the intercol- legiate hammer throwing champion, to Cornell brings to mind the fact that Cornell has had more athletic stars who have not been able to finish out their courses of study. than almost any other college Each year at Cornell is likely to see some star come up and the following season he is as likely as not to lose his Scholarship standing and to go to another college. For in- stance, Cornell has lost this year both Talbot. and E. T. Cook, the latter track captain-elect, following the intercells- giate games in Cambridge
 The trouble with Talbot was that he had not satisfied a condition which he encountered drly in his course in the college of agriculture That particular
