HARVARD cRIPPLEs 0. X.
Eleven in Fine Shape for West Point
Game - O'FIaherty Develops Drop
Kick

The Harvard team will leave Cam
bridge for the West Point game about
l o'clock Friday afternoon and will
spend Friday and Saturday nights in
New York. The freshman team Will
play at Princeton Saturday with the
Princeton freshmen and will leave
Boston on the same train with the
varsity.
Nearly all Harvard's cripples are in
shape again and taking part in secret
practice in preparation for the AIRY
game. Mckay and Browne are the
only ones still on the injured list and
the former will be in shape before the
end of the week. Perry Smith was in
the scrimmage again Wednesday for
the first time since he was injured. In
the tussle l.. Wilmington was kicked
in the side, but is expected to be Q. X.
for West Point. O'Flaherty's drop
kicking is becoming a feature of the
team play. Out of four tries in the
last practice ne kicked three goals
from the drop kick formation. He is
showing life and snap and the team is
expected to run smoothly under him in
Saturdays game.

MARoUARD THE FREAK.
Believes He's Cold Weather Pitcher
McGraw May Whip Him Into Shape.

AIarquard. the angular young man
from northern Ohio. who pitched for
the Giants this year is a queer young
ster. He has whims. One of them is
that he is a much better cold weather
pitcher than a warm weather despot
of the box. Perhaps the notion would
never have entered his Uranium if he
hadn't tumbled to the earth one day in
Louisville when the sun was scorch-
ing the corn in the Indiana river bot
toms. Having fixed the idea in his
head that the warm weather is against
him. he seemed to fret in July. Re
Gently he has shown tendency to star
well, but after he has left the starting
line he wabbles, and as a result the
manager of the team is compelled to
keep a close eye on him to know when
it is time to give him rest.
When Marquard pitched for Indian
apolis last year he occasionally had

was discussing his work the other day
gave it as his opinion that Marduard.
like almost all left handlers, had run
into a streak when his effectiveness
had depa' ted ,nporarilS.
"The only LETT handler whom l nave
seen for years" said he who has been
uniformly good is Wiltse. We all know
Wiltse cannot stand too much hard
work but take his pitching. year in
and year out. since he has been with
the New York team. and it's pretty
hard to find more than a half dozen
real bad games against him. BY that
mean games where he has been wild
and has hurt his. own chances by CIV
! ing bases on balls. OF course, all pitch

WATCH THE DROP KICKER.
College EIevens Looking for Men
Clever in Bootinq the Ball.

The fellow who can kick a goal from
the field is sure to be an important in
dividual in the football games that are
vet to come, the big games of the
year. The drop kicker has been prom
inent already and has won few games
that would have been either defeats or
ties at the best for his team, observes
a Springfield exchange. Almost every
college eleven has one fellow who has
been doing skilful bOoting in practice,
and the results of the careful prepare =
ton in drop kicking will soon be seen.
Harvard, judging by O'F1aherty's
work in practice, has a big asset in
the kicking line and the Crimson should
highly prize the accurate kicker after
that 4 to win at New Haven last
year Ted Coy and DAILY are two
men who have shown skill in bootins
over the bars so far for Yale, Coy
kicking two in the Colgate game.
Princeton has Cunningham. one of the
most important characters of the year
so far in the kicking line He has four
goals to his credit and two of them
have pulled the Tigers out of extremely
threatening holes. Pennsylvania has a
good kicker in Thayer. now substitute
quarterback. Dartmouth has Sher-
win. its big tackle. and Tobin, guard,
to fall back upon when other means
fail Lafayette has McCaa, and Penn
sylvana State has Vorhis, one Of the
best in the business at kicking goals
from. the field.
Dean. the West Point halfback. is
another clever man at clearing the
bars from difficult angles, and in Hau-
ser the Carlisle Indians have q man
that they can match with any of the
fasteners. Hauser has been doing
great things in practice. and is said to
be one of the surest kickers that ever
attended Carlisle. The Indians are al
ways good in drop kicking and may
have one or two more fellows to rely
on who will receive lots of newspaper
notice. Madden, whose goal from the
field last year Won for Amherst against
Williams, is again in the lineup after a
long absence. Michigan has Allerdice
an expert kicker. who ranks at the top
of the heap in the middle west The
drop kicker is man to watch from
now on. for he is bound to show his
work in the big contests.

BULkELEY GETS DECISION
FROM PA CORBIN.
Referee Vose Erred-Gave Academy
an !lie1al Touchdown.

Referee Nose. whom Bulk2ley secur-
ed from New Haven for the Academy
game last Saturday, has spoiled him
self for future usefulness with the New
London boys. They have found out
that he was wrong in allowing the
Academy a touchdown in the second
half on which the Academy made the
points that tied the game.
The ball was punted by the Academy
and rolled behind the Buckley goal
line. where Gallivan fell on it, claim-
ing Il touchdown. which Rcferee Nose
allowed. although Buckley kicked at
the time. One of the Bulkeley coaches
wrote to Pa Corbin. the old Yale star,
explaining the play and asking for a
decision. Corbin says the ball was
dead which it undoubtedly was, ac-
cording to the rules. and should nave
been brought out and put in play on
the % yard line.
This interiects a new element INTO
this tumultuOus contest. and provides
for even moro intense rivalry to dem
onstrate which is the better team when
they meet again. Bulkeley may say
they would have won the game if this
touchdown had not been allowed; to
which the Academy may respond that
Buckley never would have got their
first touchdown if il hadn't been for
the whistle mixup which allowed the
Buckley runner to trot down the field
unmolested to touchdown. SO there
YOU are. These two ifs leave it still a

INCREASING DULLNEss
In Stock specuIation-Oay's Business
on Diminished Scale.

New York. Oct. 2S.-Growing dull
ness in tine speculation in stocks was
more noticeable today than the tone
of the market which was shifting and
uncertain. Conditions favored values,
and this induced some covering of out
standing short contracts, left open since
the recent period of pressure on the
market There was little beyond that,
and the days business both in stocks
and bonds was on a diminished scale.
Thsre was the usual preponderance of
dealings in United States Steel, and
there was a conspicuous diversion of
such activity as there was into low
priced stocks. This was partly due
to causes individual to the stocks af-
fected and partly to an argument ad-
vanced by the professional element that
the smaller money requirements Of a
speculation in the low priced stocks
would serve to recommend them dur
ing q period of straitened money
merket. Some of the selling of the
high priced railroad stocks seemed to
be due to this argument A growing
spirit of caution was manifest in the
speculation. Bankers were inclined to
express more confidence that danger OF
money stringency before thefend Of the
year has been averted, The opinion
was heard, nevertheless. in stock mar
ket circles than any attempt to revive
an active speculation at the present
time would be frowned upon by the
larger financial powers and the largest
holders of loanable apital. The sup

Call loans were made pretty steadily

that a further recession would follow

BRoOKLYN's NEW LEADER.
Bad Bill Dahlen-First Time He Has
Tried Managers Role.

President Charles Ebbets Of the
Brooklyn baseball club has signed Bill
Dahlen, the former Giant and erst-
while Boston player, to manage the
Superbas for the season of 1910. The
salary is not stated, but it is believed
to be a good sum.
This deal is the result of long con-
sideration on the part of the Brook
Ign over. Ever since 1t became evil

Minnesota Chicago Game on Saturday
Ghost Ball by Electric Light
Vaughn a Demon HaIfback.

The Minnesota Chicago game this
week should go a long way toward de-
Gliding the championship of the middle
west. Chicago, following Pennsylva-
MAS plan, is sending out tear-stained
stories. Coach Stage says: The line
up does not look the same two days in
succession, and just now | am far from
having my mind made up as to more
than half the men who will be in the
first selection" He win have his men
predicting two hours a night this week

Vaughn, the Notre Dame fullback, is
the equal of any fullback who ever
played in the west, according to Wal
ter Eckersall. The latter says: This
player is a veritable demon in hitting
the line and holds his feet in manner
which allows his teammates to pull
and push him along for several extra
yards In addition to being a great
line plunger h is fast and lends valu-
able aid to the runners in the interfer-
ence. He is one of the few players
seen in the west this season who leaves
his feet to take off a man in the
open"

Lack of interest in the football team
