FOOT BALL NOTES.

Coach Nielsen, who saw the Lehigh-
Lafayette game Saturday. says that the
stories that have been coming down here
about the light Lehigh team are all bosh
According to the Georgetown coach it
made the Lafayette bunch look small.
Nielsen stated that the northerners' back
field is heavy and strong. and fairly
fast, one that with little bit better sys-
tenn Of offensive play would tear up any
teams defense. He also said that 1t Is
an exceptionally strong defensive team.
which is especially discouraging in view
of the fact that his team has taken a
decided slump in that department. He
believes that he will have a fair chance
to win, provided his team spruces UP and
plays the game 1t is capable of playing
and such as it has shown that it can
play.
While great interest is being conferred
in the Pennsylvania-Corne game to be
played Thursday, few people realize the
one-sidedness Of the contests between the
two schools. Only once in the last sew
enteen years has the Ithaca aggregation
been returned the victor over the
Quakers, and that was in 1901. when
Penn was smothered by score of "a to
8. Since 1893, when Penn won. 80 to
team, one has gone to Cornell and the
other was tie. The tie game was play
ed in 1906, neither team being able to
score 1t would seem that it Is about
time for a win for the New Workers and
1t would be i'm accordance with the other
surprises of the season to have them get
away with the Quakers.
Ill-luck seems to be hanging on the
heels of the Georgetown team. First it
was Dunn, then Walsh and now it is

Costello who is injured. The quarterback
wrenched a cord i'm his leg yesterday In
practice, and it Is DOUBTFUL II he Will be
in condition to play against Lehigh.
If Dunn and Walsh start the game Tor
Georgetown against Lehigh 1t is hard to
see wherein the Hilltoppers will, not have
put up sterling exhibitions before they
were forced TO retire to the side lines on
account of injuries and in good condition
will add much strength to the backfield.
Walsh has shown his worth time and
again and Dunn showed Saturday that
: equal as line plunger is not on the
Hilltop, when he went into the game
against V. NJ. L. without having practiced
for two weeks and tore up the institute
boys line for gains ranging from to
L. yards They are both fairly fast ana
add weight back of the line and a little
extra weight back there will not be amiss
against such an aggregation as will rep
resent Lehigh.
The only basis of comparison between
the Army and Navy teams this year is
the game each played against Lehigh, the
sailors rolling up two more points against
1t than the soldiers. With the exception
OF the Nayy-Rutgers contest both eleyens
nave been playing consistently good foot
balI. In direct contrast to the majority
or the games played heretofore the one
Saturday should develop something that
looks like real foot ball. Two weeks be-
fore the contest the two teams have
always gone into secret training. but if
anything was learned during the period

TENER NO MAGNATE.
Rumor That He Owned Boston Club
Dies a-Borning.


PHILADELPHIA. November 22.-Ru-
mors which made Governor-elect Of
Pennsylvania John n. Tener a base ball
magnate have died a-borning. Stories
from Boston Saturday had it that the
successor to Gov. Stuart was interested
in the Boston Does and that he really
owned the controlling interest in the club.
But yesterday the governor-elect denied
the report, and said:
Il don't own any stock in any base ball
club. nor have 1 ever done so in the
Boston club" said Mr.. Tener. II have
heard rumors to that effect, but paid no
attention to them.
Il was at one time many years ago
interested in the Pittsburg holdings, but
have not been since then nor am / today
connected financially with any club-not
even one dollars worth"
Asked as to whether he could explain
the association of his name with that of
the new syndicate owning the Boston
club. the goyernor-elect said that unless
il was some one having a similar name
ne knew nothing of it.
It is understood that although the
Doveys were practical owners or the
Boston base ball outfit, the controlling in
terest was in charge of a syndicate back
ed by Harris 4 Davis, the amusement
promoters of Pittsburg.
In last years list Harris is said to have
been down for 400 shares Of stock, Davis
a smaller number and a man named
Tener for IOO This probably gave rise
to the rumor.
The man named Tener mentioned as
holding 100 shares may have been George
w Tener, brother of John X. Tener.

CORNELL OFF FOR GAME.
Torchlight Parade as Eleven Leaves
for Atlantic City.

ITHACA, \. Y, November 22.-Ihe
Cornell undergraduates gave the menu
bers of the foot ball squad rousing
send off when the team left last evening
for Atlantic City. where the remaining
few days before the Pennsylvania game
Thanksgiving day will be spent. A pa
rade of more than 1900 men, each with
red and white blazing torches, halted at
the railroad station. and systematic
cheering for the team and individual
players ceased only when Reed, the head
coach rose to address the crowd.
In substance Reed expressed the APP
probation of the men and the coaching
staff for the concession made by the
faculty in permitting leaves of absence
to be granted sufficiently early to allow
him to take the players to Atlantic CITY
few days before the game He added /:
while the men are in splendid condi-
ton and at present none appear stale,
the few days on the shore will give them
a. change and do them Il lot of good.
Further than that, there will be nothing
to worry them, such as the natural talk
and speculation which is the all-impor-
tant topic in Ithaca before Thanksgiving
day.''
Work on the field yesterday afternoon
was fast and hard. as Reed expressed
his desire to give the line men one more
fight. Some OF the substitutes We're in
the line to start, but were replaced by
the regulars at once. Butler and Nichols
were the only varsity backs. as Hutchin-
son feared to risk possible injuries to
Robb and Wilson. Passes and punting
formed the basis of the play. At the
start Butler introduced a new forma-
ton, and its successful execution Melted
80 yards fer the varsity in two plays.

PRAISE FOR YALE TEAM.
Gordon Brown Says He Never Saw
Pluckier Eleven.

NEW HAVEN, November ce.-Often-
times il is something that is apparent
~ small and Insignificant that gives the
most pleasure. What pleased Capt.
Fred Daily most after his eleven had
fought the Harvard team to stand
still was the following note. which he
found dropped through II slot in his
door Immediately after the game:
Dear Fred: My heartiest congratula-
tlons. You have captained the pluckiest
Yale team that ever played foot ball.
Sorry j cannot stay in New Haven to-
night to join you in celebration. In
haste, +. GORDON BROW y.
The little note will be treasured by
Capt Daily as priceless possession.
Coming as il did from the captain of
what is generally conceded To be Yale's
greatest eleven, il meant something.

Barney Oldfield. the automobile champion,
at Sheepshead Bay track, New York, three
weeks ago, is the statement made today

Mr.. Houseman said:
Two hours after the race 1 visited

ness / found him in state of nervous
collapse. his whole body shaking like an
aspen leaf blown by breeze. He could
not talk intelligently on the matter l was

field had crowded him several times dur
ing the race and that he had three mar
row escapes from crashing into the fence.
He complained bitterly of the chances he
had to talk while battling with Barney
on the turns and seemed to think that
Oldfield had tried to run him into the
fence.
Jack said he had been warned that Old
field had boosted that he would cause
him to be impaled with fence rail and
that OidfieId made no attempt to get away
from him on the turns, but Kept cutting

PENN IN LAST SCRIMMAGE.
Ramsdell in Fine Condition for the
Cornell Game.

PHILADELPHIA. November. o.
Pennsylvania final foot ball scrimmage
OF the year yesterday afternoon TOOK
big load off the minds of the coaches.
The practice was one Of the snappiest OF
the season. All the plays were re-
hearsed in splendid fashion and every
regular was in his place.
Mike Murphy was as good as his word
in having Ramsdell in good condition,
and the great sprinting back was In tip
top FORM The coaches were much wor-
ried about Ramsdell as late as last Sat
urday. and some fear was expressed that
re might not he able to play against
Cornell With Ramsdell in condition
the Quakers are assured of a fast pow
erful backfield.
The practice consisted of a long signal
drill and a scrimmage with the strong
est scrub team that could be got together.
The varsity had no trouble Whatever IN
smashing through the scrub for big gains.
All the plays that are to be used against
Cornell were reho arsed and they went OIL
without a hitch. 1t is evident that Penn
sylvania does not intend to try many
new-fangled plays. but will rely for the
most part on speed and the kicking of
Scott. :.
The team will go to Wayne today,
where the Michigan eleven trained ana
where Cornell usually puts on the finish
ing touches. The QuakerS will remain in
the suburbs until the morning of the
game. Smith. the head coach, said last
night that there would be no more
.scrimmage work and that cross-country
walks and signal drills would keep the
men on edge
The Pennsylvania management Is de-
termined that there shall be no repetition
of last years conditions. when the game
had to be played on Il gridirOn two inches
deep in mud and water and covered over
with ice. The gridiron was covered last
night with straw and will be kept 50
until the morning of the game. As both
PENNSYLVANIA and Cornell are relying OH
their speed to win this game every
effort will be made to keep the field dry.

A. A. u. PRESIDENT
No Opposition to His Election
at Annual Meeting--Records
Passed Upon.

NEW YORK, November oo-Peace was
the watchword at the annual meeting OF
the National Amateur Athletic Union in
the Hotel Aston yesterday, when nearly
two score DELEGATES from all sections OF
the country convened in executive ses-
sion, Everett G.. Brown of Chicago was
reelected president without any show of
opposition; James T.. Sullivan retained
his secretary-treasurership while all tne
other business, of amending rules ana
passing upon records. among other things,
was disposed of without a hitch.
With a few exceptions the various
claims for new athletic records which
first came up for consideration were
granted. Those that were held over con-
Cerned performances that had not been

Included in the list that was issued. they

had been held and circulars sent out III
all parts of the country during the year,
and everywhere the committee reported
that the feeling prevailed that the remedy
rested in the controlling of the embryo
schooboy athletes by the Amateur Ath-
letic Union. The committees view, in
part, was:
THE Amateur Athletic Union has from
the time of it's organization realized that
its ultimate strength would come from
encouraging physical education in the
public schools. the establishment of play
grounds and public gymnasia and the or
ganiZation of athletics among the school
boys of the country. The suggestion Is
made that in small communities the play
ground boys. church boys ard school, ooys
should be organized in city group, and
this group join the local district assO-
citation OF the Amateur Athletic Union.
thus making ii possible for the boys to
compete among themselves without sane
ton or individual registration. but under
the control OF the officers of their or
ganization. who are responsible to the
district association of the Amateur Ath-
Ietic Union. Boys and young men not
SO organized can only be controlled by
requiring registration directly with the

there will be an interesting discussion as
to whether that team or Georgetown
should have championship honors. One
thing that will count heavily in George
towns favor is the difficult schedule which
it undertook 1T the beginning OF the sea-
son on the strength OF losing team the
previous year. Even though the game
with Lehigh is lost which il is not 10y
any means, the year Will have been a
very successful one for the Blue and
Gray. While the game with a. & Nj.
