A NOVEL

Harvard has crossed in with a
novel. IL not a logical, explanation Of
the defeat by Carlisle on Saturday. It
fe offered by the college newspaper,
which avs that lack of voice in the
Harvard crimson cheering section
caused the teams downfall, and which
volunteers the information that more
and better concerted yelling will mean
victory.
This recalls the interesting forecast
Of st. Louis baseball affairs. that was
printed by a Mound City newspaper
last sprir in which 1t was set forth
that Wallace's infeld had never had
any one who would make a noise, and
was going to be improved by the addi-
ton of an incessant anc indefatigable
conversationalist. in Jimmie Austin.
His chatter. 1t was predicted. meant
much for the team. Jimmie talked
as per specification. and also played
some ball. But his team was eighth.
Harvard will have to have more than
loud noises on the bleachers to assure
her victory over Yale, or even Dart

HAML|NE TAKE
THE FOURTH GAME
Methodists Meet Manchester
on Saturday-Both Are
Prepared

st. Paul. Mimi. Nov. 17.-Hamline
football artists have been busy this
week in spite OF the fact that snow
has covered Norton field. Every day
has seen the o II lodging about
among the snow banks. making the
daily workout appear more like a snow
fight than a gridiron battle. None Of
Baird's men received serious injuries
In the game with Carleton and the
red and gray machine should go to the
Mac game next Saturday in better con-
dttion than at any previous time this
season. But few new plays were given
the men this week for use Saturday,
for Baird believes that he has enough
variety of plays and will merely keep
ent repertoire Of attack in the best
possible shape.
Macs Fail to Show Glass.
Despite the fact that Manchester has
not shown as much class as the rest
OF the colleges of the state this fall,
no chances will be taken by the Meth
ocist coach in preparing his men for
the annual battle with the Presbyte-
rlans. The Mac r~ooters. faculty and
players have not given up hope of
winning Saturday, and the Hamline
be won by the hardest kind Of q fight
the fact that snow has covered Shaw
neld for nearly a week will make the
open game a great uncertainty in Sat-
urday's game, and the Methodists are
OF the opinion that this will be more
OF a detriment to them than to the
Mac team.
The Hanlinites have completely
recovered from the Disappointment Of
their defeat at the hands Of Carleton
last week and look upon the coming
game as q chance to recover lost lau-
rels. The Hamline goal line has not
peer crossed as yet by an opponent,
Carleton's points having been made by
place kicking. This fact is a matter
of pride to the supporters of the team,
and 1t Is hoped that the goal line can
be kept sacred Saturday so as to make
q complete record for the entire sea-
son..
Second Team t Play.
The Mac game Saturday will be pre-
coded by q contest between the second
teams of Hamline and Macalester.
Last week the red and gray scrubs
played a hard fought tie with the
Carleton reserves. Two weeks ago the
Mac scrubs tied the same team, and
consequently the preliminary game
ought to be a warm one.
IN the last three years since Macal-
ester resumed the gridiron sport. hav-
ing been tabooed at the PRESBYTERIAN
college for several years, Hamiin has
trimmd them steadily. Manchester has
not been able to register q score

MONA WILL START
+ ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
Milwaukee Middleweight Is
Out For Championship
Title

Milwaukee. Nov. 17.-In the opinion
OF Wild Bob Moha and his handler.
Tommy Larkin, Billy Papke. the Ke-
vance star. no longer may be consid-
cred a factor among the middle
weights. Moha has reached this con
cluston as the result of the battle he
had with Papke at Boston.
Mona has returned to Milwaukee to
complete plans for an active campaign
present season. Naturally, he is elat-
ed at his victory over the admitted
champion, but the Milwaukee cave
man does not propose to rest his title
claims upon that Boston conquest en-
tirely. He purposes going out after
all championship aspirants and giving
them all a chance to joust with him
for the crown.
In all probability Frank Klaus of
Pittsburg. will be the first opponent
of Mocha. A club at New Orleans is
as q few details concerning the
poundage and purse are agreed upon,
1t Is probable that the bout will be
closed.
In discussing his bout with Papke,
Mona holds that he was no respon-
sible for the fact that the fight wa
more OF q wrestling match than a box
ing contest. Papke was to blame for
this. declares the Bohemian. because
Papke refused absolutely to make a
real fight Of 1t.
Says Papke Is at Fault.
"Papke was the offender in all the
rough work. and the Boston papers
will bear me out in this" says Moha.
Billy butted me continually. and the
referee warned him early in the fight
that he would have to box cleaner or
he would be disqualified.
Now that I have disposed of Papke.
l am willing to meet any of the other
boys who feel that they have a claim
to h championship. I have been ac-
cused of running out Of a match with
KLAUS. but that is not so. I did not
take that match because my hands
we're not in shape. and then i had this
match with Papke in sight. I figured
out that a meeting with Papke was
more important than a match with
Klaus. so l devoted myself strictly to
preparing for the Papke encounter.
1T Is my intention now to &c after
the championship. because I want to
clinch my right to 1t beyond question.
I will. take on Klaus before any club
that offers satisfactory terms, and
when I get through with him I will
meet Hugo Kelly. Harry Lewis, Eddie
McGoorty, Jack Dillon, or any other
man the promoters care to pit me
against. They can't come too fast
