RAIN FOR THE BIC FOOTBALL GAMES
Same Prediction For Both New Haven and Boston Yale Slight Favorite Over Princeton n Harvard is Choice Over Dartmouth in Spectacular Game With Bulkeley

New Haven, Nov. 17.-The annual settlement of the football differences between Yale and Princeton will take place tomorrow on Yale field. Nearly 35,o00 spectators will enjoy the contest even if the weather mans prediction tonight of rain for tomorrow afternoon is fulfilled.
 Odds Slightly Favor Yale.
 Yale certainly rules the ,favorite in what little betting was done in and about the clubs and hotels, though the odds were narrow. It was pointed out that every football expert in the east had picked the Blue to triumph over the Orange and Black It was ad- ciared a fortnight and a week ago that Harvard and Dartmouth would twist the Tigers tail. only to see both teams return to New England with de- feat written across their canvas backs. Yet these experts declared the Yale offense this year has shown more yer satility and ground gaining power than has been developed at Princeton while the defense has been unusually strong especially in the last two games.
 Princeton's Aegressiveness Feared.
 On the other hand, it was remeber- ed that Princeton's aggressfvenesS, which has always been strong fac tor was the winning card in the game this year with Harvard.
 Two Most Expert Teams.
 Something approaching the highest development of modern football by the most expert teams on the gridiron, is looked for in tornorrow's contest with much kicking, many variations of the running game, forward passes, onside kicks and good geneI alship.
 Princeton Not Defeated Yet.
 Princeton comes to Yale field this year if not with an uncrossed goal line yet with 2 record unmarred by defeat, though two of the games resulted in ties. On the other hand, Yale had felt the sting of defeat at West Point, though under conditions which were Tot regarded as a good test. Through the operation of the aviation law, the crowd on Yale field will not be threat ened by aeroplanes as was the case at Princeton.
 The announced makeup of the two teams tomorrow will be:
 Yale-Avery le, Sculiy It, Francis lg, Ketcham c, McDevitt rg. Paul. Tt, Bomeisler re. Howe Qb. Camp ltb, Spa1ding rtb, Dunn fb.
 Princeton-White le, Hart It, Wilson lg, Bluethenthal e, Duff rg, Phillips Tt, Dunlay re. Pendleton qb, Baker ltb, Dewitt rtb. Vaughn rb.

AL--AMERIcA NINE.
Best Men from Both Leagues Picked
 by Baseball Magazine.

Food for the be seball fans is fur nished in the December issue of the Baseball Magazine ny the selection of an All-America baseball nine. picking the stars of each league to make up the top line team ofsthe national game.
 For the infield and outfeld the choice is as follows:
 First base, Chase. New York Ameri- cans; second base. Collins, Phliadel- rhia Americans; shortstop, Wagner Pittsburg Nationals; third base, Ba- ker, Philadelphia Americans; left field, Clarke, Pittsturg Nationals; center 6eId, Coob, Detroit Americans; right field, Jackson, Cleveland Americans.
 For the batteries the following are the choice:
 Catchers-Bresnahan, St. Louis Ma -ionals: Dooin, Philadelphia Nation Thomas, Philadelphia Americans.
 Pitchers-Mathewso New York Nationals; Johnson. Washington Am ericans; AIez snder, Philadelphia Ma tionals; Gregg, Cleveland Americans; Rucker. Brooklyn Nationals; Walsh, Chicago Americans
 In the catching department. Bres- nahan, Doom and Meyers in the Ma tioral league cannot be overlooked, team They .Jtclassed in general eff fectiveness any of the catchers in the American league. In fact, the only catcher in the American league who
 
 these sterling backstops is Thomas of the Athletics
 The pitching department presents 9 problem of difficulty in that, by limit ing it to an even half-dozen, several brilliant twirIers must of necessity be crowded out. Mathewson is sure of a place, so also are Johnson nd Walsh of the American league. We would, however value the all round work of Alexander as superior to that of Mar quard in general effectiveness. Mar quard, when right. is unsurpassed, but he is still rather cratic. Alexander is, on the whole. to be preferred. So, also, in our opfnion,- is Fucker of Brooklyn. With a team like the Giants behind him. we believe that Fuckers record would suffer in com parison with none. Gregg of Cleve- land has established too good a record to be neglected
 Our selection may be criticised verely in that we have made place for none of the three marvellous pitch CTS on the Athletic team They are all good-superlatively good-so also is MarQuard, but for all-round value to their teams and real excellence of record, although there is little to choose between them and those we lave mentioned. we must, nevertheless give q slight preference to the six pitchers of our choice

RAIN IN NE WHAvEN.
Muddy, Slippery Field for Yale- Princeton Match.

New Haven, Nov. 1.-The rain which the followers of the game feared would reach here before conclusions had been reached tomorrow afternoon, set in shortly before eleven o'clock to- night At first there was a slight snow squall which turned into a drizzle and rain. not heavy. but which promises to become harder as the night ad- vances. Yale field is of course covered with straw, put on at the conclusion Of to6ay's practice, but it will be of little protection if the rain is a hard one and the chances of a muddy, slip pery field are good. The streets were lively with undergraduates and ad- herents of both colleges al levening until the rain began to fall, which put a damper on proceedings.
 Captain Hart, just before the Prince ton men were put to bed in Bridgeport, said all the players were in tfptop con- dition and confident of victory tomor- row.

ACADEMY GRIDIRoN SET
 FOR SPECTACULAR CONTEST.
N. F. A. Football Eleven Out to Dedi- cate Campus by Downing BuIkeIey.

1 With a light signal drill for the Academy football squad on Friday aff- ernoon as the final preparation for meeting Bulkeley this afternoon on the sat pretty we'll satisfied with the way the team has absorbed the instruction that has been handed to its this week, and evidently strong in the belief that eleven than they were two weeks ago, if they are again to register more points than the Academy.
 From alf the indications, the To sal football stage is set for one of the most spectacular contests in years when the two teams come together this afternoon For the first time this sea- son, the Academy can play on its own Campus, and what more fitting than ,o dedicate the reopening of the campus to the grid1ron sport by strewing the field with the dismembered portions ..f it's traditional rival football team ''Bulkeley must be beaten" is the Academy slogan, and not in any half hearted way, but with a thoroughnsss and finality that will leave no grounds for argument as to which is the better team.
 Bulkeley's elation over the Il to 5 score over the crippled Academy team two weeks ago has been Tobasco sauce to the Academy team and it's support squad from down the river somathing real in the come back line. Now inst Walter Camp has been heard fir m with the decision that the Academy should have been allowed a iothe- touchdown in the Bulkeley game. there is little to show where BulkeIey has anything much to boast of in the supe- riority of their team in that game, and what Coaches Leonard, BunneI end Captain Gebrath. with Arthur F. Rob- inson as an auxiliary director. have put into the Academy team in the past week, makes the boys look like win ners today.
 Confident of winning, Bullxeley is coming up with its school baaa and 8 cheering squad under Cheer Leader Bixler. To meet them at their twn game here, the Academy has hired Tubbs' band of fourteen pieces 10 be on hand at the gridiron. while there arc other surprises in the cheriug line tc be sprung. The Bulkeley rooters are expected to arrive here by the trolley at 2.45.
 Captain Gebrath is still on the injur- ed list and will be unable to play but his place at end is we'll filled by Boyd. In every other position the regulars are in shape to go in and play the game of their lives. The following will be the Academy lineup:
 Croher and Boyd, ends; Elliott and Bliss. tackles; Herbert and Kinney, guards: Jackson center; Robinson. quarterback; Swan and Mccormick, halfbacks: Coughlin. fullba ok.
 Bulkeley Is understood to have been working ot new plays in the past week and Captain Costello will be able 10 put his srongest lineup in the field.

Hogan sests Knockout.

New York, Nov. 17=One Round Hogan easily had the better of seven of the ten rounds in a bout with Knockout Brown at the Madison Attn letic club tonight. It is the second time Hogan has been credited with a victory over Brown.
 Although at the pevious bout there was some division of opinion as to whether the New York man was really beaten, the Californian certainly gain- ed the popular decision tonight. II was fast bout from beginning to end and Brown many times evidenced great stamina
 Hogan began to worst Brown in the third round when he landed left up- percut on his right eye. He followed this up in the fourth with another left uppercut and left hook. Thereafter Browns eye was practically closed.

Harvard Looks setter.

Considered as a whole, in view of the coming game with Dartmouth, Harvard presents the more powerful combination. Its plays are more fin ished. its team work more in union, and it's offensive game more tile, pert Notwithstanding Dartmouth has more than a fighting chance. Her strong ends, good bunting and sharp defence will. stem Harvard's attack time and again. Her keen following of the ball will give the Green the opportunities to take advantage of the turns of fortune if such events oc- cur. And then there are, besides that. other advantage of good team. Dartmouth is not the favorite"
