Dunn Leading In Race For Fullback
New Britain Boy Does Best Work in Listless Practice
 at Yale Field N

New Haven, Nov. 1.-The presence of the largest coaching staff of the season yesterday failed to swing the Yale eleven into its stride. The plays attempted did not go we'll at any stage of the practice. The first round was against the freshmen and the eTsecond against the scrubs. z The varsity. pass ed the goal lnen twice against the freshmen, but could not penetrate the scrubs line. A fifteen minute period was played against each. Punting practice then was started, but 1t was so cold that the coaches soon stopped it. i7F
 Dunn was again at fullback, and made the only long run of the after- noon, scoring after 40-yard run. The , other touchdown was made by Snel- don, who succeeded Avery at left end: Ayery's return to left end and that or Bomeisler to right probably estap- fishes these two players, who, with z out doubt, will be the final choices TOT end
 While the coaches have not made a decision in the case of Dunn, his work yesterday strengthened the lm- pression that he is in the lead for the race for fullback.
 The coaches are trying to focus the attack instead of scattering it, and the Tigers are likely to find themselves faced with a whirlwind sequence of big plays here Saturday..
 Orders have been given for the final strenuous drill of the season. The coaches will try to run the eleven on the high gear today and to exhibit itH greatest scoring power.

NO MANAGER CHOSEN
 FOR CINCINNATI TEAM Garry Hermann Denies Reports About Various Stars Signed
 For Position

Garry Hermann is evidently be- coming alarmed at the number o1 managers Dame Rumor has selected to lead the Reds next season. If he had to pay salaries to all of them work on his new ball park would have to be suspended for lack or funds. The Cincinnati club has therefore issued the following state ment:
 ''The Cincinnati Baseball Club dis claims responsibility for any Of the many published reports regarding the selection of a successor to Man ager Griffith. No effort has been made to secure by purchase or in a trade the release of a National or American League player with view of making him the leader of the 1912 Reds, Nnor are negotiations pending with a minor league manager for the position.
 Assurance is extended to the base ball public that official announce ment will be issued through the press

SIGNALS STOLEN IT'S TOO LAUGH,
 "CONNIE" MACK
Peerless Leader of World Champions Tells How Athletics Got to
 "Matty"

Connie Mack, manager of the two times worlds champions, ridicules the story, so consistently repeated, that the Athletics stole the Giants signals large measure responsible for their victory. He says it is beyond human possibility for any club to do it.. He admits, though, that there are two or three players on his team who can tell. after careful study, just about what an opposing pitcher is to deliver, and that in practice they impart the knowledge to the batters, who know then about what to look for from every pitcher.
 He says that it was because his men studied every movement of Christy Mathewson of the New Yorks in the first and second games that they found him so easy the third time he faced them. A few striking remarks of the Philadelphia leader follow: A
 "It is absolutely impossible for a man on the coaching line to detect the sign for a certain kind of ball given by the pitcher or catcher and at the same instant get word to the bats man in time to wise him up. I know that we have received credit for do- ing this lightning trick, but we are not entitled to it, for we know it can't be done. If we attempted any such scheme the chances are we would con- fuse our batSmen so that they couldn'e hit at all. The batsman cannot watch the coacher, the pitcher and the base runner at the same time, so that anybody can see how utterly absurd the statement is.
 "The first time we faced Mathew son in the recent worlds series he puzzled us because we couldn't solve his methods. We began to hit him the second time he pitched against us because we had a fair line on what he intended to serve. When we tack led him the third time we had his number. We didn't steal his signs, for we weren't foolish enough to try. But we knew how he delivered diff ferent balls, and as he had been pitch ing that way for years, he couldn't change his tactics.
 "Matty didn't use his 1fadeaway' more because we knew just how he de- hvered it and we wouldn't hit at 1t. We outguessed him when he used his curve ball for the same reason. Our men studied Matty until they were able to know what to expect and the rest was easy. If the Giants had made similar study of our pitchers they would have hit with better re- suits, but as they weren't up to date in that respect they proved easy marks The Giants didn't try to steal our signs because they know 1t couldn't be done"

Tigers Big Slump
 : Before Yale Game
Princeton Coaches Disheartened by Poor Showing of Eleven
 in Practice
tspecia1 from United Press, !,

Especial from United Pfes9.)
 Princeton, Nov. i15-With only few days left before the great Yale game. the Tigers have begun their annual slump and coaches and players are almost disheartened. The varsity was shot all to pieces, yesterday, by the scrubs, who made runs and kicks as they pleased. The result was that today's scrimmage practicing was the hardest the coaches have forced on the first string men since before the Harvard game.
 The Tiger line showed material weakness and there was a glaring lack of interference. On several oc- casions the man carrying the ball was left absolutely uncovered and at the mercy of the scrub tacklers. This condition aroused the ire of the coach es and every time a varsity runner was thrown for a loss because of lack of interference there was an impro- vised war dance by Roper and his as- sociates.
 Dewitt was the exception to the rule, his line playing being as good as ever, while he got away his punts in scrimmage in wonderful style. : Bakers dropkicking may startle the natives of New Haven, next Sat- urday. v

PROFESSIONALISM CHARGED AGAINST
 UNIVERSITY ELEVEN
fspecial from United Press.

Minneapolis, Nov. 15-Threatening to cancel the game, Saturday, with the University of Wisconsin, at Madison, and discontinuing all future games with that team, Coach Williams and Minnesota football fans are angry to- day over the protest filed by the Uni- versity of Wisconsin against Captain Pickering of the Gophers. Reports say that protests today will also be filed against Rosenwald and Stevens, of the Gopher team, for professional ism.
 Coach Williams claims. the filth hour" action of Wisconsin is unfair as the last conference decided that all protests should be made at least two weeks before game
 The eligibility board will make it's decision today on Pickering's case, and perhaps on that of the other two play CTS.

HARRY FORBES DEFEATS
 LITTLE CHARLEY GOLDMAN

In a fast and artistic boxing bout of ten rounds at the Royale A. C., Brooklyn, last night, Harry Forbes of Chicago, the formers bantamweight champion of the world, defeated Char ley Goldman by outpointing the Brooklynite. 1t was a snappy, sting ing session of milling, but while Forbes hit Goldman hard and often the latter was there at the last gong. Forbe showed all of his old-tirne clev- erness.
 Forbes tied Goldman into knots with fast punches in the first round. When not jabbing Goldman's face with a straight left he was ripping over hard right hooks to the body. At close quarters he used right uppercut to Goldmans chinH Goldman's blows cir cled around Forbes body.

FINAL GRANGE MADE IN
 'HARVARD'S ERRATIC LINE
St0rer Moved From Center to Tackle ard Parmenter
 Goes to Center
Especial from United Press.)

Cambridge, Nov. 15.--Between 25,- 900 and 35,000 seats had been sold up to today for the HafvardDart- mouth game, Saturday, at the Stadium. And from reports emanat- ing from the Green and Crimson camps the game will be as interesting to the spectator as was that with the Indians here, last Saturday.
 Coach Eaughton has made what he says will be the last shift of players. this season, in sending Storer from center to right tackle. Storer's great defensive and offensive game, Satur- day, decided Haughton to try the change and his work, the past two days, in practice, has shown him to be the man to take the injured Gardiner's place. Parmenter, who was a rival for Storer's center post, held down that place.
 It is very unlikely that either Eel ton, left end, or Potter, quarter, will be used sagainst Dartmouth. They may be held for the Yale game.

 Cambridge, Nov 1.-The fall la- crosse season which is just closing at Harvard University augurs most en- couragingly for the spring champion ship next year. The whole history of lacrosse at Cambridge since 1877 offers no brighter prospects for a successful team. Sixty-seven men have been out every day since college opened.

MAKES LICENSE.
DODGERS PAY

The appointment of Alexander
Shorkees by Commissioner Petit
as license inspector evidently was
none too soon. Shorkees has dis
covered that dozens of those who
should have been paying licenses
were not doing it. Even some
theaters were behind over 80
days, and lot of expressmen were
escaping.
The new inspector is now going
after the delinquents.
He even got outside of his ter
ritory and forced about so food
dealers to come In and settle. The
food dealers have been having a
picnic. Only few paid the IL
cense. The pure food inspector
has been threatening them for
months, but never took any action.
SO the dealers did not pay.
From present indications the
appointment of Shorkees will add
a lot of revenue to the city. Just
why these licenses have not been
collected in the past does not ap-
pear.
