EXODUS OF RUNNERS TO
WINTER TRACKS IS ON

The exodus of horsemen and horses
from Utah is now at its height, the close
of the Ogden meeting sending the stables
to the winter tracks. From Ogden the
hOrsemen about equally divided between
Oakland, JuareZ and Jacksonville, the
Oakland and JuareZ meetings receiving
the larger cOnsignments.
Under the weather conditions the close
of the racing was not as suspicious as it
might have been. and it is not expected
that the ponies will be run in Utah later
than October in the future.
Within "a few days all of the Ogden
horses which are to race this winter will
have gone, although many will winter
in Utah-some by the wish of the owner
and some, it must be said, by order of
the feedmaE. incidentally. there is some
pretty well bred horseflesh at Ogden that
can be purchased cheap. Attracted by
the empty pockets of the owners. there
are several Spectators at work. and they
are taking up some of the good ones.
Shipped to the winter tracks, a sale
brings a nice profit in the majority of
cases.
OF the officials at ogden, W. NJ. Muir
ray, manager, goes to the Florida meet
ing where he is TO act as paddock judge
and timer Judge Blum also goes to
Jacksonville, although in no official ca
pacity. Associate Judge Earl McQuaid
has a flatteTing offer from the Oakland
association and will probably make for
the California track

ually developing into a tangible form
The teams are practicing daily for series
which will begin Immediately after the

will be made by the coaches to get the

team of last year; Richardson, of the
university team of last year; Homestead

Will challenge for race for the Amer

made this statement just before sailing
for Europe today on the steamer LUST
tania
Sir Thomas has been here for several
weeks to learn the attitude Of the mem
bers of the New York Yacht club on the
question of modification of the rules gov
erning the Americas cup. What assur-
ance, II any, he received, is not known
Before sailing, Sir Thomas said:
L viii challenge for a race in 1911 I
am sure the New York Yacht club will
give the question fun consideration. /
believe they are just as anxious as any
BODY Tor a race. | would have chal-
lenged for race next summer had It
been possible to get boat ready in time
If the New York yachtsmen insist
upon challenge under the present rules
governing international cup races. /
would stand no chance to win and that
would not be sport. 1 shall issue my
challenge with the largest type of boat
to conform, if possible, with their ideas"
Members of the New York Yacht club
said today that until Sir Thomas chal-
lenSe had been formally laid before them
no definite statement could be made re-
garding its acceptance. Leading mem
bers of the club held the opinion that the
old racing rules should govern conbats

MEMORABLE STRUGGLE
PROMISED SATURDAY
Harvard Seats Sold Weeks in
Advance; Bulldog Slight
Favorite.

New York. Nov. I7.-Arrangements have
been perfected for the big game of
the regular football season in the east
the Yale-Harvard game to be played at
Cambridge on Saturday. Not in recent
years has there been an athletic contest
in which greater interest has been shown.
Tickets for all of the 1900 seats in the
Harvard stadium have been issued, and
requests for 12.Gc0 more have been re-
fused because Of insufficient seating ca
pacity. All of the seats have been dis
tributed through the alumni of both uni
Versties
Yale is ruling a slight favorite in the
New York clubs. because of the remark
able showing il has made this season and
because of the general opinion that the
team this year is the fastest and strong
est Yale has developed in many years.
Indications now are that all of Yales
best players. including Captain Coy, who
was believed to have been injured, will be
in the game Saturday.
The team will go TO Cambridge tomOr
row, and will have the exclusive use of
the stadium for practice. while Harvard
viii send its team to Dedham for final
training.

ing overtime, getting in shape to give the
Salt Lake High a severe drubbing on
Thanksgiving day. 1t is generally con-
ceded that Captain Douglass viii not be
in the game any more this season. His
knee, although not troubling him greatly,
is in such shape that another game this
year will probably leave him a cripple
and it is thought that Coach Brown will
not sacrifice the man for a game
The rest of the team realize the extent
of the loss of 'Squaw," and they are
working all the harder. The game the
east benchers put up last week was
surprise to Granite and also to some of
the local sports. and if they progress as
rapidly this next week as they did last
week, Salt Lake will not have a ghost of
a show.
Reports from Salt Lake say that al
though that team defeated PaysOn by an
overwhelming score, they are not allow

trick here. They are not giving any al

FINAL GAME OF HIGH
SCHOOL SERIES A TIE
Seniors and Juniors Offer Fierce Bat
tie on Campus-Each Fail
at Goal.

The game. between the seniors and
Juniors of the Salt Lake High school yes
terday afternoon on the Salt Lake High
school football campus marked the end
of the class football series. The final
score was TO T.
The game was by far the fiercest and
most hotly contested battle of the class
team play, both sides earning their points
through the hardest kind of work. Al
though the seniors have cinched the
championship, owing to the fact that the
freshmen defeated the juniors the third
year men have the satisfaction of know
ing that they can play ball with the
champs, and claim that they lost to the
freshmen because they were overconfi-
dent.
After ten minutes of even play Harris
recovered the ball for the seniors in the
center of the field During the next five
minutes the seniors played the juniors
off their feet. placing the ball on the
S-yard line. On the third down Francis
was pushed over for touchdown. Score
to in favor of the seniors. The seniors
lost their trial for a goal by touching the
ball to the ground before the proper time.
during the remainder of time both sides
secured a safety. The first half ended
with the bah in possession of the seniors
on the junior S5-yard line.
Both teams came back stronger in the
second half with hOnors about even for
the first ten minutes of play, when a long
run by Parker and successful forward
pass from Wilson 20 ROmney placed the
pail on the senior 3-yard line. Twice the
line held, but on the third Gould car
ried ii over. The score was tied and the
supporters of the junior team were wild
with excitement.
There We're but three minutes left to
play and the juniors by kicking the goal
would be victorious; but Romney for the
first time this year missed the bar by
several inches and the score stood Z to Z.
During the remaining two minutes the
seniors rushed the pigslxin down the fielH
for large gains and it appeared that they
would score, but the call of time put an
end to the struggle when the ball was on
the junior 20-yard line

JOHNSON AND LANGFORD
NOT LIKELY TO MEET

Chicago Nov. 17.-Jack johnson is not
likely to box Sam Langford in a real
fight for the championship of the world
before he takes on Jim Jeffries in the
battle that everybody is looking forward
to. The big colored fighter intimated as
much before he left Sunday night for
Indianapolis to fill a weeks engagement
there.
The intimation has come from the Pa
cific coast, as well as from Jim Coffroth.
the Colma promoter. that such a bout
would fit in nicely during the winters
schedule at the Mission street arena. and
il was expected that COffroth would en-
deavor to fix up the etails while in the
east waiting for the time to open the
bid for the Jeffres-Johnson match.
1T is not at all likely that I will box
sam Langford before I battle Jim JEFF
fries, Johnson told a party of friends
just before leaving for the Indiana me-
tropols.
The public does not demand such a
match, especially after the miserable
showing Ketchel a middleweight, made
with me. Why, then, should I seek il
when l can do a lot better upon the road
with a theatrical show
