POLITICS AND INTRIGUE BLAMED FOR
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA FAILURE;
SMITH BLAMED FOR HARVARD BREACH
Tex Ramsdell Case Cited as an
Instance of Situation at
the University.

University of Pennsylvania men who
live in this city are ~disgusted with the
showing maee by the Rcd and Blue
eleven this season. Mott of the. blame
1t to politics and intrigue in the coach
ing department.
Tex Ramsdell played a star game for
Penn all last season. but when the Cor
nell game came around Mercer was
given the opportunity to distinguish
himself at every try, while Ramsdell
did the bulk of the interference. Rams
dell, it was thought, should have been
captain, but Mercer, on the strength of
his playing in the fnal game, was
elected. Ramsdell, who had earned the
intercollegiate for Penn on the track,
was also snubbed when Minds. vastly
inferior in every way, was elected. He
is now coaching the University o : Pitts
burg team and made a success this sea-
son.
Andy Smith, according to a Newark
grad of the U. of p, IS behind the whole
trouble. Smith will surely be deposed,
and it is the hope Penn men that
relations with Harvard will be resumed,
for 1t wac thr ugh Smith thr they
were disrupte
smith played for three years on Penn
State. The fourth veal he cam down
and Joined the Z. of P. and PLAYED
Harvard. After the game the Crimson
claimed that he was a professional and
broke off football rela: 1ns with Penn.
Smith does not know football said
one Penn man. 1.-Two yea. : ago In mid
season he changed the entire working
system after the Carlisle game. He
adopted the Indians systems of forna-
tons and plays e. tirely and almost dis
rupted the team" There is talk of a
game between Pennsylvania and
Princeton next year, but it is hardly
likely that it will materialize. Prince
ton, since taking on Howard. has an
excellently balanced schedule, and a.
game with the u. of P. would mean
mat her season would either have to be
extended or some important game
played before the Tigers had developed
properly. They met lass about fourteen
years ago in football.

CORNELL COACHES SHOW
PLAYERS THEIR FAULTS
BY USE OF THE CAMERA.

ITHACA, N. Y, Nov. 25.--The Cor
nell football squad was shown some of
the misplays and faults 1t perpetrated
in the game with Chicago last week at
a st%ereopticon exhibition given for
players and coaches only in a big lee
ture room in a building on the campus
last evening.
The pictures were taken by Fl. J..
Westwood. a Cornell alumnus interest
ed in football, and they proved that
the camera can be Utmost as valuable
in coaching a football team as 1t is In
the hands of Charles e. Courtney In
training the varsity crew. About 200
slides were shown. and they gave in
detail some of the errors in form and
m%isplays and faults which the Cornell
team was guilty of in Chicago.
Coach Reed is OF the impression hat
such pictures show to the men in a
much more forceful way what the
coaches may try Intellectually to put
into words.

sailed over the roof. The nearby neigh

when the Tigers went out to the

NAyYSSPTAIN, y N
MAKING TOUthDOWNS TIA SEASON
AMONG COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYERS
Pendleton Leads Frances of
Yale in Goal from Touch-
down Kicking.

A glance over the batting averages"
of football after a fortnight's lapse
shows interesting changes. The touch
down, goal from touchdown and field
goal columns have all been shaken up
by the play of recent matches.
In the race of the touchdown-makers,
Dalton, the big Navy back, has passed
the Harvard ~canonbaIl that goes under
the name of Wendell. Pendleton, the
Princeton goal-from-touchdown kick
er, is but two points ahead of Francis,
of Yale, with Englehorn, the Dart
mouth man, trailing. Also Butler is
at the top of the field goal division,
sharing the upper berth with Howe, of
Yale.
This leading of the touchdown-mak-
ers column by Dalton and Wendell re-
fleets the styles of their teams. Ten
times has Dalton carried the ball on
the plunge across the last line, but
once less has Wendell been called upon
to make the play. Furthermore, the
table shows that the Harvard and Navy
backs nearest to these men made but
two touchdowns apiece. All of which
indicates that the Navy feeds Dalton
and Harvard Wendell.
Going down the line, it is seen that
Princeton, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania
and Yale have played no favorites, so
to speak. For instance, three Prince
ton backs-Sawyer, Baker and Pen
dleton-have each made approximately
the same number of touchdowns. Saw
yer and Baker have made the play six
times and Pendleton five, Yale's heav-
lest scorers, Howe and Camp. have
each made three touchdowns. So have
Mercer and Barr, of Pennsylvania. The
Dartmouth backs, Hogsett, Barends
and Morey, have turned in five, three
and three apiece. Nor has Cornell any
big scorer of the Dalton or Wendell
type. Fritz, the end who recovered
Munk's blocked kick against Michigan,
has three touchdowns opposite his
name and Whyte two.
Getting down int the class of one
scorers, it's surprising to find the
number of well-known players who
have made but one touchdown. Here
is found Dewitt, maker of the luke
drop kick that beat Dartmouth; Young,
of Pennsylvania; O'Connor and But
Ter, OF Cornell; Daley and Llewellyn, of
Dartmouth; Dunn, of Yale; Dean, Of
the Army. and Rodes, of the Navy.

umpires in the National League, and
for years a resident of Newark, de-
MED today that he knew anything
about the arn- It's orig1n-that he
was to come to the Eastern League
next year with William Zimmerman az
a member of President Ed. Barrow's
umpire staff.
There are certain interests in the
National League which are opposed to
tombstone and have been out to get
his scalp in an underhand way. john
stone is In New York today to consult
with President Tom Lynch, of the ma
tional League, but is not the least wor-
ried about holding his job should he
desire to remain in the National
League. He has powerful backing n
q spotless reputation and is too game
to quit under fire.
Should he desire, tombstone declares
that he can quit at any time and have
a good job open for him. He states
that he has had offers of scout for
different clubs, as well as umpire in
a number of leagues. The contract
signed by an umpire binds him to SER
vice in that league as long as that
league requires him, but the league
cannot dispose of him the same as .
club sells or trades a player unless tho
umpire Is willing TO submit to the
deal. The National League cannot.
therefore, send tombstone to the East
ern League against his Will.
Enemies of tombstone have been try
ing for some time to injure his reputa-
ton by circulating stories against his
character, believing that they can get
him to quit in that amer. John
stone is recognized as an honest and
fearless arbitrator, and aside from a
certain club has no enemies In the
National League.

CASE MAY BE THROWN
OUT OF THE COURTS.

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 35.-Trial of
the quo warranto proceedings brought
by the State of Virginia for revocation
of the charter of the Jamestown Jockey
Club was begun here yesterday. A de-

which, If sustained, would throw the
whole action out of court. The point
is made that the jamestown Jockey
Club was not authorized in It's charter
to conduct or permit bookmaking or
gambling in any form; that its charter
could only be revoked for violation or
misuse of rights given.

Ward Miller was the leading second
story man in the Eastern League last
year. He stole sixty-three bases.
Bill Louden stole fifty-two bases and
batted 1903. 1t was the first time in
his career as an Eastern Lacquer that
Bill hit better than 800.
Big Bill Abstein, who ca%ptained the
Shelters last season, is playing full
in ST. Louis, his home town.
1t is said on good authority that big
money was made by several Eastern
League clubs during the recent sea-
son. The Toronto Club, for instance,
cleared a profit of $4,000, The ,Roches-
ter and Baltimore clubs also did re-
markably well, chiefly for the reason
that their teams played winning ball
and drew paying crowds at home and
abroad.
Writing for Sporting Life, A. r.
Crafty, of Pittsburg, says:
zone winter topic in local headquar-
tiers will be Dan Moeller's chances of
succeeding at Washington. Pittsburg
held onto this man in sheer despera-
ton in hopes that he would get going
and show league form. Hopeless case,
he was reluctantly released. Moeller
shines like a blue gem in the minors.
There are others. Griffith and Danny
will have a time hitting it just right"
Speaking of Street, the young out
fielder purchased from the Kalamazoo
Club by the three-ply~ champions of the
Eastern League, Manager Jawn Gan
eel says.
Everybody in Michigan speaks well
of him. He is looked upon as a faster
runner than Tooley, who graduated
from the same league, and is a wise
youngster. Anyway, he hit 1870 in the
Michigan League, and that ought to be
good enough to deserve consideration
in this league"
