Penn And Cornell
 To Meet Thursday

Franklin Field, Philadelphia, will be for the next few days not only the center of football interest because of the Pennsylvania-Co Cornell game, but it will also be the center of society.
 The Thanksgiving day game has come to be for Philadelphia what the November horse show is to New York, and all those who aspire to be consid- cred in society will be in attendance next Thursday, when Penn and Cor nell meet for the last game of the season.
 The coming game promises rare sport because of the fact that the teams seem most evenly matched, and because each has a star likely to turn the tide of victory his way.
 For Pennsylvania, Mercer is the bright luminary, and his work will at tract thousands to the game. Cornell will depend on Butler, their phenom- enal drop kicker and punter, to keep the Red and Blue away from their goal line and to score the needful points for victory.
 With 27,000 seats for this game and such a big interest in the match, it is almost aSsurety that the coming game will see the biggest crowd in attend ance that has ever entered Franklin Field.

Coaches Demand
 Change In Rules
Haughton, Roper and Sanford
 Disguised With Present Regu- latiOns Which Prevent Scoring

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 27-Head Coaches Percy D. Haughton, of liar ward, and William Roper, of Prince ton, with Yale's famous line coach, G. Foster Sanford, are disgusted with the existing football rules. / Coach Sanford stated:
 T advocate a committee on rules not to exceed five men, who owe no pecuniary allegiance to any univer- sity, and who shall take their posi- tions with the full Knowledge and determination to do what's right without regard to uneducated public opinion or faculty whims. I think that when the rules committee first began to rule they made a vital error with talk of unnecessary roughness. The game today is as rough as ever, with the chances for severe injury much favoring the present game.''
 Cough Haughton has this to say:
 College professors and an unedu- cated football public demanded q revision of the rules, and football progressive got its most serious set back. I prefer the old game. This new game isn't logical, and I don't like it. It is, however, better than no game at all. Saturdays contest was the best illustration I have seen of where the rules have, ruined foot ball."

Frank Chance May
 Play Next Season

Los Angeles. Nov. 27-Manager Frank Chance of the Chicago Cubs. who is seeking rest at his California orange grove at Glendora during the off baseball season. said yesterday that he thought the Cubs would have a much better team than was the case during the past season. The peerless leader, who is trying to forget all things baseballistic. however consent ed to say few words regarding his plans for 1912.
 Judging from Chances remarks it is quite evident that the manager in- tends to get back into the game next season. When the Cubs great first baseman turned his sack over to the keeping of the youngster, Vic Safer. early last year it was stated that he intended to keep out of the game for good. Chance was not in the best of health during the 1911 campaign, but he says he feels better now than he has for several years. By April, 1912. he thinks he will be in fit shape to warrant his returning to active duty. Said Chance:

When the shining credit to his Palestine ancestry, Abe Attell, reach- es the natural downfall that comes to every champion sooner or later. there pion to wear the mantle of the great. Considerable conjecture arises among those interested in the manly art as to the identity of the future title holder. Several cities present. com tenders flor the title, but Cleveland seems to have the logical successor to Attell in the nimble, speedy, cap- able Johnny Kilbane.
 He met Tommy O'Toole in Phila- delphia more than a year ago, and decision after the six-round conflict ended. Since that time Johnny has galloped to the fore with racehorse bounds. Always clever chap, light ming fast on his pins and agile with his dukes Kilbane seems to have developed the ability to punch like a
 Since his bout with O'Toole, John ny has gone ahead and left trail of victims along his highway of suc- cess, Jack White, the capable Chi cago lightweight, went down before the boy in a twe1ve-rOund contest for points. He went along without a single setback until he met Joe Riv- CTS at Vernon, Cal, May 6. of this year. The Mexican beat the Nap lander.
 Kflbane came back, however, with a vengeance. He polished off Jimmy Walsh and the tough Patsy Kline, and was again in line to battle with Rivers. Kilbane fought a splendid fight on this occasion and won by a knockout after one of the fastest fights seen in the Vernon arena. To sdd extra luster to his performances, KiIbane was given the decision over Frankie Conley in a twenty-round argument. i
 Under these circumstances and conditions it looks as if the Cleve- land chap were the logical candidate to succeed to the crown and posi- ton now held by Attell, when Able goes the usual route-his finish,

BoIneisIer Doomed
 For Yale Captain
Election For Next Years Foot ball Team Between Him and Walter Camp, Jr.

New Haven, Nov. 27-Most of the members of the Yale football team who held Harvard to a no score tie in Cambridge Saturday came drifting back to New Haven today, apparently down-hearted at the outcome of the game. but the undergraduate body is perfectly satisfied with the outcome, for Wendell had been 8 great bugaboo, and though the students wouldn't ad- init it they were afraid of being de- feated.
 Of the varsity eleven this year Yale loses by graduation Capt. Howe. Quar- terback Scully, Paul and Perry, tac- kles; McDevitt and Francis guards; Lores, substitute guard; Tomlinson. substitute tackle, and Freeman and Reilly, substitute halfbacks.
 There are left as a nucleus of next years team Bomeisler, whose shoulder was broken in the Harvard game; Spalding, Philbin, Camp and probably Anderson.
 Of the men left those who will be seniors next year. and therefore by the unwritten Yale law, eligible for cap taincy are Philbin, Camp, SpalGing, Bomeisler and Gallauer. But the conn petition for the position will simmer down to Camp and Bomeisler The election will not be held for several days in order that all the men who have the privilege of voting will have a chance to make up their minds re- garding the relative merits of the two.
 Camp is the son of Walter Camp. the Yale graduate adviser and the father of football at Yale.
 Bomeisler comes from Brooklyn. He is member of Delta Kappa Epsilon.
 It is probable that Capt. Howe will be head coach for next year and that he will have charge of the Yale Y. M. c. A. work. While his team was in no way a championship team, Yale looks upon him as one of her greatest captains, who has the ability of in- spiring the men beyond any man since Jim Hogan.

Ya'e And Harvard
 Tie Game Thrilled
 Enormous Throng
Neither Team Had Power to Produce Touchdown and
 Punting Duel Resulted
RY Wagner.l

Although Yale was the favorite in the betting the Ellis were unable to come through Saturday and the best they could do was a scoreless tie with Harvard. A crowd of 40,000 saw the contest at the Harvard stadium ana shivered in the biting wind. The re- suit had no bearing upon the cham pionship because Princeton had al- ready been awarded premier honors but nevertheless the Blue and Crim- son had their own little grudge to settle.
 On the afternoons play the teams appeared evenly matched. Neither had the punch that produces touch- down but both were strong on the de- fense. The kicking of Felton, the Harvard star, was feature. This left footed punter undoubtedly saved the day for the crimson by his lofty spirals that often went over the heads of the Yale backs. Camp and Howe also punted well for Yale.
 It is four years since Yale has made @ a touchdown against Harvard and ten years since the Crimson had crossed the Eli goal line.
 The result was practically an even break, the "Boston Globe" statistics showing that Yale gained IA yards and four first downs by rushing while Harvard gained 122 yards and four
 
 for distance of 557 yards. Harvard fifteen for 527 yards. Yale four for ward passes with no gains. Harvard six and forty-eight yards gained.
 The plan (and the executionl by both teams was to kick as much as possi- ble, hoping for a nisplay near the others goal line which would give pos session of the ball within scoring dis tance. The kicking was accomplished with the aid and interference of the wind. the ball was misjudged and fumbled by both sides and Yale made an attempt to score by drop kick and Harvard three. but all failed. Harr ward also tried to duplicate her Prince ton touchdown by a forward pass near Yale's goal line, but it was neatly in- tercepted by Spalding.
 In addition, attempts were made to advance the ball by rushing with in- different success with a few eXcep- tioAs. Philbin made forty yards, through the center, the longest run of the game, passing the entire liar, ward eleven except Potter, Howe made two good end runs. Smith made the longest run for Harvard on a double pass around the opposite end and Wendell made shorter gains.

May Not Take On
 Michigan Again
Penn Students Sore at YOst's Men and Want to Play Williams or Dart
 mouth Instead

The first definite step on the part of the student body of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania is resentment of the attitude of the Michigan Univer- sity students in publishing an article in their official paper reflecting on the recent Penn Michigan game, was taken Saturday, when an answer to tho charges appeared in the issue of the Pennsyivanian.
 The college students were indig- .nant when accounts which emanated from Michigan were published in the Eastern newspapers. The fact that these accounts were given official sanction, owing to their appearance in the Michigan Daily, has added coals to the fire, and the action on the part of some "hot-headed stu promise of editorial sanction, has been discussed pro and con in the clubhouses, fraternity houses and athletic quarters at the University of Pennsylvania.
 The students have answered Mich dgan through their daily publication, the Pennsylvanian. The editorial, in which they make it clear that g. re- traction on the part of the Western college officials should be forthcom- ing. is as follows:-a
 '1f the article in the Michigan Daily represents undergraduate senti- ment at Ann Arbor we would consid CT it for the best interests of both Institutions to sever athletic relations at once. Pennsylvania does not care to meet in friendly rivalry any school that seizes upon such incidents to stir up trouble with insinuations of the kind that appear above"
 Penn's football mentors and spon son seem to realize that the Red and Blue schedule is a pretty weak prop osition as far as bringing financial return is concerned. For that reason the authorities will endeavor to ar range games with Dartmouth and Williams, and shake couple of the weaker institutions off the slate. An other reason for this is plain. Penn gets no opportunity now to compare her eleven with those of other east ern colleges, as none of the big teams which are scheduled with Harvard, Yale and Princeton are also on the Red and Blue schedule, A game against Dartmouth, for instance, would tell the relative merits of Penn and Princeton and Harvard, using a numerical standard for comparison, as the Green would play all three.

ORIOLES SAY PiQU0TS
 DIDN'T WIN ON THE LEVEL

Here is a communication from the Orioles regarding the Oriole and Pe- quot IT,, game. Sunday we, the Orioles, played a game with the Pe- quot Jrs. at Hairs lot for the 75 and 80 pound championship. In the first period Dunn Of the Orioles got away for a touchdown. making the score 5 to o. The ball was kicked off by the Orioles, one of the PeQuots received the ball and went around the crowd for touchdown.
 Then the TammanyS and Lakeviews took the field and our game was play ed across the street. This is the ar gument. The Pequots had the ball in the center of the field when they fum- bled. An Oriole seized the oval but the referee was not looking and then one of the PeQuots stole the leather. There was big argument and while the Orioles were talking the PeQuots lined up and sent the ball over for a touchdown. None of the Orioles at tempted to stop them and the referee, being Pequot, let it go. The Orioles would not stand for this and left the field.
 Now if the Pequots wish to claim the championship, don't be called crabs all your lives but make up and give the Orioles another game. This little note is signed "A PLAYER.

ASTFALK LICENSE WAS
SMOOTH TRICK."-KLING
But 1t Got the Commissioners
Votes, Anyway.

ELIZABETH. May 24.-Peter NJ.
King. president of the Board of Ex-
else, took occasion at last nights meet
ing to reply to criticisms of the board
by a local paper and declared that the
criticisms were unfair and unjust. The
paper, he said, had not told of the good
things the board had done.
Mr.. King made a speech when
the application of Nathaniel H. Astfalk
for ar I'M and tavern license came up.
In connection with this application
Mr.. King stated that "a smooth trick
had been played on us by some of the
brewers or their representatives" when
Nathaniel Astfalk. jr., applied for and
was granted a license to keep a saloon
in East Grand street, a short distance
from his fathers, which had been
closed. Mr.. King said he understood
that it was the father who was apply
ing for a license at the time. He, with
the other commissioners, voted for the
license last night, however.
