Yesterdays foot ball games show the
big college teams to be developing fast.
Each OF the big elevens which played
than at this time last season. and this
holds true in the case Of Yale, even
though it failed to beat Wesleyan to
within point Of what 1t did last fall.
Up at Ithaca the supporters OF the Cor
nell team are elated over the showing OF
that eleven yesterday. While it was not
record-breaking score that was run
up against Allegeny College by Cornell.
and while the team was not finished in
its play, 1t is certain that the most
powerful nucleus for an eleven was
shown that has been seen wearing the
maroon in many a day. Cornell stands
better chance to beat Pennsylvania
this year than it has in a long while.
Yale beat Wesleyan only by a 2i-to-0
score. which is one point less than 1t
trounced the Middletown team last sea-
son, but 1T must be remembered that
Wesleyan put a veteran eleven against
Yale, one which has had more practice
and conditioning than has Yale this fall.
And, again, Yale showed signs OF having
chance to develop a much more pow
erful backfleld than that which repre-
scented it in 1910 Besides that. instead
of depending on the old style of play al
most entirely this season. 1t was evident
that Yale is going right into develop
the new game to Its fullest extent. all
Of which will be time gained when 1t
meets Harvard and Princeton.
That Georgetown is not going to have
as easy a time when it meets Lehigh
this season as it did last year is GER
tain from the manner In which Lehigh
trounced that Lebanon team yesterday.
The Indians. having the best team that
has worn their colors In year, were able
to whip the same eleven by only 90
too score. and vet Lehigh comes across
in a game with the same aggregation
and ran up "A points to 0. Resulting
scores show that the Lehigh team this
season is not far behind Carlisle in play
ing strength.
As for Carlisle, plenty OF evidence
was afforded in the way 1t rolled up tnir-
ty-two points on the Muhlenburg Col
lege team that 1t will give Georgetown
even more trouble than was at first
thought. The Indians played yesterday
on a slippery field and fumbles were
made, continually. At that, with a
slippery ball and on a rain soaked
field, the Indian game was featured by
it's open work and running plays
What the Indians will do on a dry field
against Georgetown Is a question. At
any rate, it is certain that Georgetown
will have its hands full to make good
showing against them.
Dartmouth failed to make the show
ing against Norwich that was expect
ed. it being scored on for the second
time on it's own field in seven years.

BIG ELEVENS ARE DEVELOP
INTO FORMIDABLE MACHINES
Yale, Carlisle, Cornell and Lehigh Show
Superior Strength Over Last Years
Product Morris May Leave Tech.

The Technical High team showed up
much stronger yesterday than was ex-
pected. when II held the Maryland Ag-
gtes to lone touchdown. The re-
sultinR score was entirely unexpected
as II was thought that the Farmers
had the strongest eleven this year that
has. represented them since 1905. The
game failed to show much in any way
except that the Tech team is a much
stronger aggregation than 1t was
given credit for being and that 1t will
give Central more OF a battle for high
school honors than II was at first
thought possible. The game showed
that unless Tech has unlooked-for
hump themselves considerably II they
expect to send the Richmond College
outfit down before them Saturday.

White this year has a team which would
DO credit to many of the smaller colleges
and that 1t should win from a team OF

no surprise.
As matters stand now it seems as
though Central will walk away with the
nigh school title unless some
one Of the other teams should show
strength that is not now expected in any
OF them. Tech looked good yesterday

ers mighty hard battle for the scho.
lastic honor, provided it improves In its
coming games to such an extent that Its
defense will develop sufficiently to hold
the Central backs in check. :,
Tech may suffer a loss in it's backfield
that will almost preclude It's maging the
showing that would have been possible
otherwise. 1t Is more than probable that
Morris the man who has done such great
work in the backf1eld for. the manual
trainers. will leave the school and enter
Georgetown. Morris at present Is ineligi-
BILE to represent the high school team In
the big series and unless he gets off his
conditions this week he Will not be eligi-
BILE to play at all this year and there Is
a strong rumor afloat that he will leave
Tech. II he does not get right in his
studies II is almost certain that he will
enter the Blue and Gray institution.
Hard scrimmages are featuring the
daily practice of almost every one of the
local teams. The practice In the elemen-
tary parts of the game Is being applied
in the real work Of the lines against one
another. The men are falling on the ball
now when it is fumbled. the backs are
carrying the balls In reality and the line
men are putting into effect the charging
and blocking tactics they have been
taught for the past two or three weeks
ual men attain in putting into actual use
the many elemental drills they have had
so far this fall is the criterion that will
tell Just how successful the various elev-
ems will be in their championship games
this fall.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

Two weeks ago It seemed that the Gil
ants best chance to beat the Athletics
was with Marquard pitching. but since
that time the mainstay of the National
League leaders pitching staff seems to
have developed that inconsistent form
for which most left-handed pitchers are
noted.
Marquard is not pitching the kind OF
ball now that he was earlier in the cam
paign. and there is every indication In
his work to show that he is badly in need
Of a rest.
With Marquard an uncertain PROPOSE
ton, it will again be up to the great
Mathewson to stand the brunt of the
battle for the worlds title. Six years
ago he won it from the Athletics but
it is not to be expected that he Is as
good nav as he was then. Time must
have made some inroads on his stamina.
Muen will Of course depend on the out
come of the first game Mathewson pitch
es. If he goes well he will be sure to
be sent back after day or so Of rest
forced to call on some of his other
pitchers to help him out OF the others
Ames is the most likely. notWithstand-
ing the fact that he is rather unsteady
not be at all surprising il Marquard were
not used at all against the Athletics, for
that young mans work has caused his
teammates to lose confidence in him-a
condition under which few pitchers can
win.
It is estimated that the Polo Grounds
will be able to accommodate about $1,000
people during the worlds series games,
and. as the prices OF admission will be
capn 80 oh~,,t hno
1t can be figured that the receipts for
each game played there will be. in the
neighborhood Of $4,000. Indications are
that the players end of the gate re-
the comparison in the receipts of New
York and Philadelphia will prove most
interesting.
That the public wants something be-
sides straight-away base ball, be the
the fact that the Detroit team, though
virtually out of the pennant race for
more than month. has proven much
better drawing card this season than the
Athletics. The credit for this unusual
condition belongs to Cobb and Jennings.
This pair furnishes the attraction-the
one by reason of his wonderful playing.
the other because of his antics on the
coaching lines. II the books of the De-
troit club were laid open it would prob
ably be- found that that club. has played
to more people this year than ever be-
fore, so that even though the pennant
was lost Detroit seems to have players
who give a better entertainment from
the public standpoint than do any Of the
other teams.
If Ty Cobb leads the American League
batsmen this year-and the chances are
that he WILT will be the fifth consecu-
tive time that he has carried off the bat
ting honors. But Cobb's achievements
are really no greater than those of Joe
Jackson. who, though he is seeing his
first year in fast company. has proven
himself a worthy rival of the champion
batter.
Figuring that Jackson will improve.
which he should, Cobb is apt to find in
him an even more formidable rival next
season than he has been this. Jackson S
showing has been most remarkable. 1t

him. 1t is evident. however. that Cash
| ion needs experience. He still does not
get all the stuff he should out Of his long
arms. and lack Of control and inability
| to watch the bases also handicap him.
According to Detroit players yesterday
was the first time in weeks that Cobb has
pulled the ball into right field. He has
been hitting a good deal into left of late.
but Yesterday two OF his drives were into
right. He got four hits in as many
times at bat. and barring one which he
beat out every one of them was a hard
drive.
Jim Delehanty appears to be in much
better condition now than he was earlier
in the season. He played splendid
game at second yesterday and got two
clean hits and was robbed Of another
by Conroy who leaped in the air in the
ninth and pulled down a hard line drive
with his gloved hand
Del Gainor made his debut on the local
grounds. He handles himself we'll
around the bag. but got only one hit in
five trips to the plate.
To see Jennings on \he coaching lines
no one would suspect that his team was
out of the pennant race. He hustled just
as hard as when he was fighting to hold
the lead. Jennings figures on making
, several changes in his team before next
season. He Is particularly anxious to
strengthen his pitching staff. which has
not been as strong as it should be. and
to whose failing he attributes his defeat
more than anything else. He has quite a
corps of young pitchers coming In the
spring and he hopes to pick up one or
two consistent winners out OF the bunch.
While our pitching has not heen strong
this year, l believe that our failure to be
able to sacrifice has cost more games
than anything we have failed to do said
he. II can look back and count ever so
many games which we lost because we
could not move up base runners. This
was especially true against the New York
team. Had we been able to move our
base runners up we would have Won the
majority of the games from the High
landers and that would have made quite
difference in our standing
Ty Cobb thinks the Athletics will win
the worlds series. 1T will. of course be
largely matter of pitching. but the
Athletics are a great hitting team, and
they will get enough runs to turn the
trick. That is the way it looks to me.
though l must confess that I have not
good line on the Giants.
The Nationals scored two runs in the
opening inning on Coyington on hits by
Milan, Schaefer and Elberfeld and the
latters steal. The Tigers got one In the
second on a pass to Drake, his steal and
Moriartys single. They tied it up In
the third on pass to Bush, Cobb's single
and Walkers error. They forged to the
front in the sixth on Crawfords single
and Delehanty's double. and in the
seventh hits by Bush. Cobb, Crawford,
Delehanty and Drake gave them four
runs and the game. The score:
