FOOT BALL NOTES.

The Rev. DR.. Cutten. the old Yale
center now q minister In Columbus. Is
assisting the coaches at Ohio State Uni
versity
The Cornell training table started with
but ten players on the list. According to
the plans of the coaches. additions will
be made very slowly.
Hutchinson, the Penn fullback, is rated
as the find Of the season down in Phila-
delphia His work has stamped him as a
worthy successor to Bill Hollenbach.
Tom Barry, the Brockton boy who is
coaching at Northwestern University, dis
located his elbow In a recent scrimmage
practice. Barry is the fOSmer Brown half
back.
Anderson, who is to try for one Of the
tackle positions at Annapolis. is south
paw pitcher of the middies' base ball
team. He has shown considerable
strength on defense.
Yale's fumbling against Holy Cross was
serious, but fault that crops out every
year on practically every big eleven. 1t
has never lasted throughout year at
Yale.
Lubo, the former Carlisle star, is coach
ing the All-Syracuse eleven, which Is COM
posed of many former college stars. The
schedule includes games with number
of strong teams in New York state.
Yale coaches are thinking seriously of
playing John r. Fitzpatrick back of the
line. He is absolutely sure in his han
ding Of the bali, and. though big, might
make a capable quarter.
Capt AL Miller of the Quakers is play
ing poor game at quarter, and the good
work of Thayer in that position may
mean a shift for Miller to one Of the
wings. Few more daring runners in a
broken field was ever seen than Miller
last year. and he should make a success
of receiving the forward pass.
The fight for quarter at Yale is waxing
warmer and warmer with the days.
Johnson's field goal may mean rise in
his stock. AL Sharpe was the last real
good kicker at New Haven until Coy
showed up, and If the big Eli captain
has to remain out of the game 1t will be
we'll to have a couple of capable substi-
tufes. DAILY and Johnson are doing the
right kind Of work.
Bill Hollenbach, Pennsylvania great
captain of last year, is foot ball editor of
a Philadelphia paper, and he says that
Princeton should have a wonderful eleven
this year. Friendship between the Tigers
and the Quakers is becoming more and
more noticeable each season, and 1t would
not be strange to see these old rivals get
together before long. Harvard and Pennsy
and Brown and Dartmouth are other
foes who should meet annually.
Crowley, last years end on the Har-
ward varsity, picked by many for an all
America eleven, Is back at college and
buckling right down to work with a ven
geance. Crowley will play with the sec
ond eleven for the practice and the
coaching, and next year hopes to be a
candidate for his old place on the varsity
team. Coming out to play with the scrub
shows the proper spirit and Crowley Is
to be commended.

took the ball at the kickoff. but was un-
able to take it far into scrub territory.
Tydeman and Smith were both absent
from the lineup and Virgins and Hoff-
fulback was in the scrimmage for the
first time, and kept the scrub line busy
with his heavy plunging.
The varsity line. Monk and O'Connor
at guards, Weeks and O'Rourke at
tackles, Seagraves at center and Uhl and
Teagle at the ends, played all around their
opponents, byt failed to open holes for
the backs when most needed.
Wood ran the varsity well and got away
with one or two good forward passes.
Baker also handled the forward pass to
advantage when he went in, but is still
somewhat hesitant in giving his plays.
Robb broke through the varsity line sew
eral times, but did not gain in the open.
Bunny Larkin appeared at the field today
and took up his work with the ends in
tackling and blocking.
The squad was called off the field dur
ing the funeral of DR.. Charles P. Beaman.

nell teams.
Quakers at Secret Practice.
PHILADELPHIA, October s.-Pennsyl-
vania's head coach, A. L. Smith. ordered
the gates closed to all visitors at Frank
lin Field yesterday afternoon. and di-
vided his squad into two elevens. Smith
is taking time by the forelock and pre-
pairing his team for the battle with the
Indians. Pike was tried eat end, but was
relieved by Large, who seems to have
first call. Irwin and Marks are still In
poor condition. and did not take part in
the scrimmage. A stif signal drill follow
ed the hard work and five new plays were
taught to the varsity, which will be saved
until the battle with the Indians.
No Scoring at West Point.
WEST POINT. n. Y, October S.-The
Army foot ball team had a short lineup
yesterday. and neither side was able to
score, although the varsity, with Chris
tian and Macdonald carrying the bali,
made long gains. Christian. who is play
ing while Chamberlin is out with bad
shoulder. Is looming up. and developing
into a line hitter of ability.
Hyatts was not out. and Reyes ran the
team at quarterback. When on the So
yard mark he attempted q drop kick,
which the scrub blocked. McCOach in
jured his knee again, and may be out of
the game for some time. Beach has been
shifted from center to right end, and the
move looks like a good one. as Arnold Is
showing ability in putting the ball in
play. Devere was back again at left
guard and played most Of the game.

MORE HARNESS RECORDS.
Penisa Maid and Maggie Winder
Set Up New Figures.

LEXINGTON, KY. October S.-The
classic Pennsylvania stake, for 212 class
trotters, was the feature event Of the
trots yesterday. and the event was wit
messed by the biggest crowd that has been
present at the local association in the
past fifteen years. Penisa Maid was by
far the best of the field of six that start
ed in the race, and she took the event in
straight heats from Bob Douglas, Marie
n. and Paderewski. In the first heat Pen
isa Maid lowered the record for the race
one-half second, the best previous time
being 2O4k, made by Tiverton in 1904.
Still another worlds record was broken
Yesterday when Maggie Winder paced the
third heat of the thyee-year-old division
Of the Kentucky Futurty in 2,O6A, the
best previous time being 2.O619, made by
the same filly at Columbus two weeks
ago. She was so far ahead Of both COM
petitors that it was not necessary for

WHAT GREELY SAYS.
Most Extraordinary Feat in Polar
Exploration.

The most ext aordinary feat III
Polar exploration wos the appraise-
ment of DR.. Cooks exploit by Gen.
Adolphus w. Greeiy, the commander
of the Lady Franklin Bay inter-
national Polar expedition from the
United States in 1884, when inform
ed Wednesday night of the cable
gram announcing the Brooklyn
mans success, at Conway Sentre,
N. H. Gen. Greedy further said:
"Dr. Cooks achievement, reported
by the colonial office of the Danish
Government, must be viewed as the
most extraordinary feat in Polar
exploration. He was practically
without. had previously been
considered to be an indispensable
equipment for extensive Polar trav-
ell. He could have performed his
work only by extraordinary endur-
ance. aided by fortuitous conditions
in the Arctic Ocean.
The attainment Of the North
Geographical Pole by an American Is
an accomplishment that merits the
highest possible acknowledgement
and consideration by the American
people. AS one who once beat the
record, offer my heartiest congrat-
ulations"
Gen. Greely's party reached a
point S3,24.0O degrees from the
Pole, thus proceeding farther toward
that much-sought for point than had
previously been attained. That ex-
pedition was a trying one for those
concerned. Before they reached this
country again their numbers had
been reduced by death to seven. At
Cape Sabine the survivors were res
cued by relief expedition under
Commodore, now Rear Admiral,
Winfield S. Schley, retired, president
of the Arctic Club.
