T0DAY'S FOOT BALL

BIG BATTLES IN THE WEST

The Harvard-Yale game today brings
the foot ball season to a climax There
are important games on for next week,
notably the Penn-Cornell and ArmyNavy
contests, but todayss game attracts the
biggest crowd if not the most attention. a
week ago it didn't look as if the Harvard
Yale game would create the anticpatory
stir that Harvard-Yale games usually do
but Yales brace and unexpected victory
usual white heat point. Harvard and
Yale more than the present day foot ball
is what draws the crowd 1t is safe to
say that were the same quality of foot
ball played between two colleges of lesser
fame 1t wouldn't draw half as many peo-
put up a poor quality of foot ball and yet
draw, because they are who they are. In
short. foot ball as now played isn't such
an attractive fame that the populace falls
all over itself going to the sport for its
OWL sake.
outside of the game at New Haven the
schedule for today is comparatively short.
The season is over for good many
teams There are games the list. how
ever which are likely to prove pretty
warm. at least warm enough to give the
probable victor good practice.

BY j. ED GRILLO.

James X. McAlGer, manager of the Ma
tionals, arrived in the city this morning
preparatory to starting south in search
of a training camp for his team. Nc
Aleer expects to leave here tomorrow
night for some point in Georgia yet to
be selected. 1t is not unlikely that he
will stop off at Memphis to look at the
grounds there. II would rather have
good ball ground than the best climate
In the world said he. There is nothing
better to get a team in shape than a
good ground. and that is what 1 shall
look for when I go SOUTH
The Washington club is probably the
only one of the major league clubs which
has not signed player for next season.
1t would seem that the local management
does not fear the Fletcher third league
McAleer. in speaking of the signing of
his players, said: Il shall not send out
contract until about the first of the
year There is no need for rushing about
signing the players. They will all be sat
isfed to come back-Of that / am sure.
/ do not fear Fletcher's scheme in the
least. l don't believe Fletcher could buy
a cigar. let alone put up all the money
he talks about to start his third league.
Our players will not balk on their con-
tracts. They will all be treated properly

by the club, and that. as a rule, is all
that ball players ask.
McAleer has heard some very fiatter-
from Danville. If Busscy is just half
as good as the reports l received make
him he will be a great man for us. But.
of course, always hear favorable
things about our ball players before We
see them in action so l will not pass
Judgment until / have had a look"
Notwithstanding the fact that Owner
Hedges OF the Browns has announced
that he will trade eight of his players,
McAleer does not think there is much
chance of his getting any of them.
when Hedges talks trade for any of his
players he will want Walter Johnson in
exchange, and of course that is out of
the question. III admit that he has sew
eral players that / would like to have, but
1 don't want to give better than an even
break. l see but little change Of doing
anything with Hedges for he usually
wants barrel of apples for an orange
We are open to make trades and / hope
to pull off one two when We all get
together at the league meeting, but if we
fail in this we won't have any kick COM
ing, as ] am perfectly willing to stand
pat, for I believe that we have picked up
some likely youngsters. If we have We
can fill out the holes in the team and
have a winner.
1t is doubtful if President Moves will be
able to accompany McAleer south to
search for training grounds.

Eastern won three championship games,
but unfortunately the disarmament of the
Western team made II necessary to throw
out the one game i'm which it figured.
Central will be officially declared the
champions at the next meeting of the
board of faculty athletic advisers, which
will probably be held next week.
Not in many a day has Eastern made
SO creditable a showing i'm champion
ship race. No one at present connected
with the school can remember the day
when Capital Hill athletic team pressed
the leaders to such an extent The
student body as well as the alumni asso-
citation appreciate the strength of the
team, and promise to reward the players
for their efforts. Coach DonneHy lis
naturally looked upon as the Individual
directly responsible for the showing of
the team. his efficient coaching resulting
in the most successful season Eastern has
enjoyed in many years
DOnnelley, who starred as collegiate
player not so many years ago. assumed
charge of the squad when It was doped
out as the weakest in the high schools,
and by consistent work gradually de-
veloped an eleven out Of supposedly
green material that will go down I'm his
tory as one of the strongest and fastest
teams that ever represented the Capital
Hill institution.
Much credit is also due Coach Hecox
of Technical for his untirng efforts i'm
developing winner for the school that
through his efficient tutorage has car
ried off three successive championships.
Realizing from the start that only an un-
usual brand of good fortune would give
him another championship team, he has
worked increasingly to develop squad
that would at least force the winner to
the limit to win This he accomplished
in spite Of the many handicaps under
which he has labored, but only after
hard fight I'm which he was admirably
supported by his understudies.
Yesterdays game brought out more
new foot ball. than any other game
played during the series. Eastern. i'm par
ticular, continually used freak forma-
tions, with varied success. Both teams
tried the forward pass and the Capital
Hill team gained territoy through the
use OF the play on two distinct occasions.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOT BALL.

The high school foot ball season was
auspiciously concluded at American
League Park Yesterday afternoon with
one of the most interesting games Of the
schedule, in which Technical and East
ern elevens played to standstill, neither
team scoring.
A victory for either team would have
given it second place, and to this fact
the closeness of the battle is largely re-
sponsible. Eastern fought bitterly to de-
feat it's opponents-a feat heretofore un-
accomplished in the history of the school
and but few will deny that it barely
missed its purpose. The Capitol Hill
boys outplayed Tech from start to finish,
and several times worked the ball within
striking distance Of the goal line, only to
lose it through the stubborn defense
maintained by the Blacksmiths when de-
feat stared them in the face.
Tech IabOred under severe hand1-
, cap, playing without the services OF sew
eral of it's most formidable players.
Coach HecoX was forced to use green
men in several positions, and, consider
ing this fact. his team made an excellent
showing. pitted against a combination
that has been admitted to be the fastest
in the high schools.
With but few sminutes remaining for
within the 5-yard line, where they lost
it on downs. Unfortunately the team
was without the services of a competent
placement kicker, for several times
1t attempted the play when within the
25-yard line. but without success. Once
Parker booted the pigskin for the neces-
sary distance, but the wind carried it to
the side.
Capt. Few was always i'm the limelight
for Tech and his playing was one of the
features of the contest. He continued. his
excellent puntinS that WAS largely re-
sponsible for the good showing his
team made against Central and proved
the only consistent ground gamer in the
Technical backfieid. Several times he got
away for substantial gains, and but for
the sure tackling of Capt. Parker of the
Eastern team would have probably
scored. On the defense he was equally
strong. breaking through the Eastern de-
Tense on several occasions, and downing
the runner in his tracks.
Capt. Parker and Weaver at fullback
played best for Eastern. The former,
playing at quarterback, ran his team in

will have a big job on his hands TO

will come a Encouragement that will be
necessary to get all of the teams within

terial will come into the league in their
places.
