Sailor Jack is preparing To take a

the sailor in a talk yesterday.
Negotiations have been I'm progress
for some time toward bringing these
two grapplers together, but Miller Is
something of the same chip that VOL
CAST is; and in the qjasition ofdictatcr
wants to make all sorts of require
ments, both reasonable and unreason-
able. It's a nice place to be in-this
championship pew, whore the holder
can look down in disdain and dictate.
Wolsast and Miller play it well.
Jack Is willing to meet Miller just
as soon as satisfactory articles can
be arranged. i've seen him wrestle,

He's a good little mat man, but it's

Jordan Is the man Sailor Jack de-

good chance for the Chicago club to
pull off a record stunt-get Sailor Jack
and Miller together. II wouldn't be a
Dad match and, really. Duluth should

PENNSY CLAIMS
SECOND PLACE
ON STRENGTHS OF ASSERTIONS
MADE BY Pennsylvania
PLAYERS MICH. SHOULD
HAVE TITLE.

Philadelphia, Dec. With the play
ing OF the Cornell game last week the
/ University OF Pennsylvania football
team ended on of it's most remarkable
! seasons in recent years. on the
strength Of their performances the
| Quakers do not claim any champion
snip, but they do think that they de-
serve To be ranked next to Harvard.
Some of the enthusiasts even think
that they could beat the Crimson. but
they are all willing TO conclude that
Harvard's record for the season is
the better one.
The Quakers' season was married by
defeat in the very first match with
I.Ursinus, whose team won s To ; and
o 90 tie score with Michigan. Every
other game on the schedule was won
by a substantial margin.
The success of the Quaker eleven
was due in a large measure TO the
good work Of the back field. OF this
quartet. Mercer proved to be by far
the best man. lie was purely a Penn
cyivania product. Before coming to
Pennsylvania ne had never played
football. He played but three games
on his freshman team last year and
this fan did not report until the season
was under way Not only did he prove
to be the best ground gamer, but he
was by far the best defensive back on
the squad and likewise a good kicker
He is now being spoken OF for the
captaincy, and although he would be
only junior next fan, he is the most
popular man for the place
OF this years team Pennsylvania
loses five veterans. They are Marks
at left end. Capt. Cozens at center,
Sommer and RamsdeH at halfbacks
and scott at quarterback.
The Quakers authorities are not
worried about next years material.
for not only do they possess a first
class nucleus, but i'm addition of the
freshman stars will make this n first
class team. The most valuable of the
freshmen are Quarterback Minds,
Halfbacks Kings and Barry. Fullback
Barr; Crawford, tackle. and Mar
shall, an end. These six men are now
OF almost varsity calibre, and with
Mercer at fullback, should make a
powerful team. Another element of
strength viii be Hutchinson, last
years star fullback. on account of
scholastic difficulties he did not play
this year. He expects to continue his
work and if he keeps up n his studies
is sure TO win place in the back field.
The Quakers have done nothing
about next years coaches or sched-
ule. The chances are that the teams
played viii be much the same as here
tofore, with the possible exception
that date may be given TO Dart

either of opposing Michigan's return to

The Maroon director points out that
it was at the instance of Chicago that
Michigan was given additional time to
adopt the conference rules If the VOL

had been of a friendly nature. Mr.
Stage resents the interference that
Chicago i'm any way is seeking to die

standing is due TO mistaken reports Of

AMERICAN FOOTBALL TOO
STRENUOUS FOR ENGLISH

London. Dec. English footballers
were impressed by the strenuousness
of American football as played by
teams from the battleships Idaho and
Vermont at Crystal Palace but they
do not advocate its adoption here.
The Times expert says: american
football is really an amalgam of our
two games, developed on logical lines
into a pastime which. though slow and
laborious, has many interesting points.
and is as n drastic test Of strength
and courage. II is a direct descendant
of the football Of our ancestors, of
which stubbes said in 1888: Il pro-
test unto you il may be called a friend
lie Sindle Of fyghte rather than play or
recreation: a bloody and numbering
practice than a fellowly sport or pas
time"
The Sportsman reporter says: "The
missionary work Of the sailor teams
was greatly appreciated. If the enthus-
iastic applause OF the crowd is a cri-
terion, but whether the display is like
ly to affect our national affection for
Rugby is doubtful. The American
game seems to possess al the defects
which those who clGmor for a more
open game urge against Rugby. with
cut some of the latter's virtues"
The Football Expert says, on the
other hand: american football is en-
tirely different from Rugby and as
ISOLATION in every way. one thing is
very certain, the game is one for men.

Hopkins Furniture Company

pioyed the most capable men 10
be had The idea of the Hopkins
Furniture Company In showing the
prospective buyer just what he would
get for his money was carried OUT
by MIR. Hopkins, and the value Of every
article offered was fully demonstrated.
This is what the Southern Furni-
ture journal says about the award:
The Hopkins Furniture Company Of
Richmond, Va, have the great honor
Of producing the az that was voted
the first prize among the large news
paper ads, and it was awarded the
$50 cash prize. The ad is certainly
credit to this enterprising firm. 1t
is excellent In almost every particular.
1t is strongly and convincingiy writ
ten, well displayed, well illustrated
and fairly well balanced. Its one best
feature is that it lis calculated to pro-
duce results and sell goods.
The man who produced this ad OF
the Hopkins Furniture Company did
not attempt TO do anything clever or
catchy or erotchety in writing or lay
ing out the ad. he simply buckied
right down TO business and TO fami-
liarizing the buying public with the
goods he wished 10 sell by illustrating
them, giving a description of them
and by quoting their real value and
the sale price. He, also gives a reason
for the sale and why II is possible,
but he does not go into this matter
as fully as he should. People gen.
orally want TO know the why" OF
almost everything and If you can give
them strong, convincing reason why
YOU are having sale and tell them
how it Is possible for you to make big
reductions In prices II goes great
way in obtaining their confidence and
securing their patronage.

FAVOR NEW ROUTE
FOR O00LEY SEWER
Subcommittee Will Recommend
That Offer of Major Dooley
Be Accepted. .

Ii has been all but definitely settled
that when the subcommittee on sew
ers meets Monday night IL will rec
ommend that the Dooley sewer in
Clay Ward will be laid along Virginia
avenue, instead of along the old route
through Major Dooley's Maymont pro-
perty.
This action has been decided upon,
following the taking OF estimates as
TO cost by City Engineer Boiling The
latter says the new route can be fol-
lowed at much less cost than the old
one. The new route will he almost
straight. 1t is true that In follow
ing It the contractors will have to
blast through granite in several places
but Mr.. Boiling has taken soundings
and says he has reckoned the cost of
this blasting in his estimates.
The matter of laying the sewer is
not yet before the new Council, ana
the subcommittee is meeting merely
to draw up a recommendation to be
presented to the regular Committee
on Streets when that body meets Wed
nesday night. The Street COMMITTEES
then will probably draw up a resolu-
ton which Will be presented at an
early meeting of the Common Coun-
Gil. Should the new route be fol-
lowed. the city will receive $4,000
from Major Dooley. who has offered
that sum In payment for immunity
to his property.
Bids for the work were made be-
fore the old Council committee BY
several contractors, but these will
probably have to be renewed. AT pres

highest bidder has price almost
double that of the lowest The lat
