son in victorious style at -Newfield

they will meet the Plainield Elks'
nine, in the deciding game Of a series.
A series Of three games was origin
ally planned for, but In view Of the
fact that the first game resulted in
a tie score, it has been arranged to
play one deciding game.
The local nine are bent upon cop

constant and hard practice, have at

stated here, that in order to take the
measure of the visiting club, IT will
be necessary for the locals to display

Their record this season is most

Morris Working
Hard For Jim Flynn
Oklahoma Wonder Boxes
Three Big Men in After
noon Without Effort

These are strenuous days in the
training camp of Carl Morris at Allen
hurst, N. ]. His fight with Jim
Flynn at Madison Square Garden Will
take place one week from today, and
from now until the time he enters
the ring he will devote every hour to
getting himself into proper shape.
Joe Jeanette evidently suffers no
i'll effects from his match with Sam
Langford, for Joe was on the job yes
terday at Allenhurst with Morris. He
will remain there in charge of the
white hope and will box him six
rounds daily. That Morris is a glut-
ton for work was proved yesterday,
when after going six rounds with
Jeanette he. went six rounds with AL
Benedict and six more with big
Syrian from Boston whom Jeanette
recently discovered. This Syrian is
as big as Morris and gives the giant
a good workout. Jeanette went to
Oklahoma and spent two months with
Morris and has worked with him since
his arrival in the East, and he has
wonderfully improved the white hope.
Jim Flynn is not idle. He is at
Johnson's roadhouse working like a
Trojan. The reports that come from
Morris camp do not bother him; he
is the most cocksure fighter in the
business. In his opinion he will du-
plicate with Morris what he did with
Al Kaufman-win by knockout.

PENN CONFIDENT or
HAVING GREAT ELEVEN
ON COLLEGE GRIDIROa

Philadelphia, Sept. S.-The Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania will begin foot
ball a week from to-day. At that
time all the squad will gather at
Franklin Field, reporting to Capt LIE
Roy Mercer and Coach A. G. Smith.
An attempt will be made to get out
the full strength of the university, for
the first game will come ten days la
ter. That game is with Gettysburg
on Sept. %, and remembering last
years miserable opening, when the
varsity was defeated by little Ursinus,
Capt. Mercer and Coach Smith will
take, no chances.
Pennsylvania faces a serious prob
lem this fall, for seven of last years
regulars have been lost by graduation.
Of the team which started the Michi-
gan and Cornell championship games
the following are missing: Capt. Co.
zens, the All-American centre; VOL
ferth and Kramer, guards; Marks at
end; Scott, quarterback, and Rams
dell and Sommer. halfbacks. This
leaves for nucleus this fall only
Capt. Mercer, fullback; Jourdet. at end,
and Rodgers and Morris tackles.
The salvation of the team is likely
to be found in the members of last
years freshman eleven. Ever since
the new rules came into existence
Pennsvlvania's coaches have relied
upon a backfeld of speedy men. Last
year this quartette contained Rams
dell, the American and English cham
pion Splinter and Mercer, who in foot
ball toys, was almost as fast. Quar-
terback Scott was likewise a fast
man.
If the members of last years fresh
man team make good in the manner
predicted they will furnish three spec
dy men to take the places of the vet
Grams who have been lost. Chester
Minds a brother of Jack Minds, one
of the best fullbacks Pennsylvania
ever had, will be relied upon to take
the place of Scott at quarter back.
He has lots of speed and weighs close
to 175 pounds. In addition he has
proved himself a good field general
For the other two positions Barr, who
played fullback, and Marshall, end,
look promising. Barr weighs $50 Tbs.
possesses plenty of speed and is
good kicker. Marshall is the best
sprinter in the university, but since
the new rules have eliminated much
of the danger in the game Mike Muir
phys objections to letting the sprint
er play football have been overcome
Marshall possesses real football in
stinct, and although he has been an
end heretofore he is likely to get
trial in the backfeld. where his
speed can be better utilized.
Pennsylvania most serious prob
lem will be as heretofore, the develop
ment of first-class line. Last years
forwards were light and nearly every
team Pennsylvania met gained
ground there. The hardest place to
fill will be that of centre vacated by
Cozens. The latter was the same type
of man as Torrcy of, the 1904 and 1905
teams. His understudy last year
was Miller, but he will have to i'm
prove so per cent to take Cozens
place. Patterson and Murphy would
be two f1rst-class men for guards if
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-09-08

their football ability were equal to
their weight. Both were tried last
year and discarded, but may have
improved sufficiently to fill the po-
sitions this year.
Rodgers and Morris will have first
call upon the tackle positions. Neith-
err is heavy, but they are of the ac-
tive type. with a keen scent for the
ball. Crawford. a big fellow from
the freshman team, will have to be
considered at some point in the line.
He will be the best drop and place
kicker the Red and Blue has had in
years if he lives up to his freshman
reputation. In nearly every game he
played last year he kicked one Or more
field goals. The coaches hope to de-
velop him so that he will have a per-
manent place on the team.
Jourdet can hardly be improved
upon at one end, and if Marshall does
not go into the backf1eld he will be a
fixture On the other wing. Last year
Spruance was tried at end, but prov
ed too light and inexperienced. There
are a number of other men from the
1910 freshman and substitute li~ts who
will get a thorough test here

Yale Has Bunch
Of Football Stars
Blue Material Looks Good With
McDevitt, Scully, PAUL. and
Brooks as Backbone of Line

While Yale technically loses more
men than Princeton, the Ellis are max
ing no complaints on the score of lost
from the Yale ranks Captain Daily at
halfback, Fitzpatrick at one end, Nor
ris at center and Field at fullback.
This is one more than Princeton misses
and they are probably more ex-
perienced players. But Yale had an
unusually good freshman eleven last
fall and there are number of men
from that team who are expected to
create lots of trouble for the veterans
Of last years team the following
are once more eligible: Scully and
PAUL., tackles; McDevitt and Fuller,
guards; Brooks. at one end; Captain
Howe at quarterback and Kister at
fullback
1t is virtually certain that Yale will
ago. Coach Coy assumed most of the
blame for the coaching policy, which
was largely at fault. 1t was unfor-
tunate for Coy that his brilliant career
on the girdiron should have been
eclipsed by his failure as coach. His
persistence in clinging to old-fash-
toned football when the needs of the
new game apparently demanded rad1-
cal Innovations was undoubtedly re-
sponsible for most Of Yale's troubles.
In fact, it was not until the over
whelming defeat at the hands of
Brown that Coy stepped aside for Tom
Shevlin, who brought with him the
tackles Shift play which H. l. Will
liams developed at the University of
Minnesota.
This play is likely to be a subject
of much discussion this fall 1t was
brand new in the East when Shevlin
taught it to Yale. Princeton was
totally unprepared for it, and it gained
much more ground against the Tigers
than it would if they had had an OPP
portunity to prepare a defense for it.
Harvard had the advantage of having
seen it in the Princeton game and ex--
perienced little difficulty in stopping
it. From remarks made by Yale men
it is evident that the Ellis think it still
has great possibilities. At any rate
they have let. it be known that they
will take it up with the start of the
season to see of what developments it
ia canahle

What's coming off here, anyway?
| The game was played over on every
corner last night. Everybody was on
| hand with the big hammer. Many
declared it was a frame up and 9TH
ers thought it was just plain dumb
playing. When Bridgeport beat Wa
| terbury Monday afternoon a number
| of wise boys shouted that the game
was fixed SO it looks asaif you can't
| please the fans anyway. Perhaps if
| they played a tie game it might please
them.
Be that as it may, as Shakespeare
says, you have to give Harvey Rus
sell a boost, In addition to catching
great game, Russell was on hand
| with the timely hit that tied the score
in the eighth. He caught the only
est, the leading base stealer of the
league, was nailed in the fifth, and
Swander in the ninth.
Benny Kauff is the deerfoot kid.
He stole second in the second round
and set the crowd wild when he pill
fered third in the eighth. He got
such lead that Flai1erty didn't have
a chance to get him. Benny also
connected for one of Bridgeport's
three hits.
Chief Miller always plays great ball
here. If the former Waterbury first
sacker didn't make a hit in a month
he'd be sure and spill the swat at
Newfield.
Battling Zeller is the luckiest man
in the world. If safe fell out of a
fourth story window and Zeller hap
pened to be on the sidewalk below
he'd be sure to have a mattress on
his head.
