 Puzz'eS Coaches
BIG CONTEST BETWEEN CAMr , SPALDING AND DUNN fOn POSITION IN PRINCE
 TON GAME.

New Haven, Nov. 16-The parado1 or having secret practice in an open lot was handed to the Yale football team yesterday afternoon. The coaches were informed by the managers Of Yale Field that the turf on the var sity gridiron was in such condition that to play on it would make trIu, ,;th bic for the game on saturday "itn Princeton. The varsity kickers were invited to leave it and remove thelr formations to the freshmen field over by the St. Lawrence cemetery. 1ne varsity gallantly shifted ana LOOK along a dozen pickets to watch loa spies who might be hiding behind the cemetery monuments taking notes on 1he Eli plays. Apparently the scouts who are bent on penetrating the se- crets of the Yale closed season hao re- ceived no inkling of the proposeu change of gridirons, for they olo not appear. h,
 The change was made necessary oy +he heavy rain which had softened the turf on the regular field:
 Two changes were made by the var sity. Red" Gallauer, the former end, was tried at right tackle, and Jesse Spaulding went back into the game at halfback GaIlauer started the year at end, and he and Bomeisler were nicked as the final selections. Two of Gallauer'S fingers were broken, ana he retired for six weeks. Since his re- turn he has been too slow for end, but Tom Shevlin Is delighted With ms tackle play.
 Toms word is pretty close to the Yale football law and gospel this faii, and Gallauer is likely to be used Tn part of the big games. Charley Paul, the regular right tackle, reported III citizens clothes with a black eye, the result of a bump received in practlce Tuesday.
 The coaches admit they are slightly in the air over the selection or the backfield. Camp, Spalding and Dunn have the call by slight maJority' but all three are criticised as Iauity' Spalding for his ragged play since ms return, Camp because his line forcing is noor. and Dunn because Philbin and Anderson are called better line borers. Some of the coaches want Camp re- served and a heavier plunger used to start the game. Reilly is strongly urged for the place. Coaches who favor this change argue that Camp IS needed for his distance bunting. and that it is better to keep a hammer and tongs halfback peppering the Princeton line and have Camp to boot the ball hard in the second half af- ter Yale may have obtained a winning lead
 Dunn holds fullback because he never fumbles, while Anderson and Phjlbin are chronic offenders, although both hit the line harder than Dunn does Head Coach Field insists that the backfield will not be picked till Friday.

Mike DonIin Will
 Make Cuban Journey
Former Giant to Wear New York Uniform During Trip
 of McGr avs Men

Mike Donlin. the former thespian and idol of New York fandorn, is once more back with his old love. The hard-swatting outfielder. who is sem fenced to serve indefinitely in the pastures of the lowly Boston Rustlers will enjoy himself until Christmas in a Giant uniform. Mike Is going to Cuba with the Giants to play an out field part and terrorize the duslzy is- flanders with his big stick.
 McGraw welcomed the chance to draft Mike into his little band, as Devore and Becker were his only reg ular gardeners who left yesterday af- ternoon for Jacksonville, Fla The easy manner with which the Cubans have cleaned up on the Phillies has New York somewhat worried. The addition of Donlin assures the Nation al league champions a competent, hard-hitting trio of outer defense men.
 Before going to Cuba, the Giants will play series of games in Jack sonville, Miami and Key West. The first game in Cuba is set for Nov. %, few hours after the arrival of the champions

Penn Team Goes
 To Meet Michigan

Philadelphia, Nov. 16-The Univer- sity of Pennsylvania football eleven received its final grooming for the Michigan game when Coach Smith put the men through their last hard practice yesterday on Franklin Field. The coaches all donned moleskin trou- sers and their prized jerseys of other days, and while their wind held out they gave the varsity men some of the most strenuous moments of their lives.
 George Brooks spent long time with the drop kickers and punters. He has improved Thayer wonderfully within the last three weeks, the result being shown yesterday when Thayer averaged between sixty and seventy yards on his kicks. His drop kicking he having little difficulty in sending the ball between the uprights from the B and 40 yard lines.
 Nolan was used in scrimmage for the first time this week. It was thought that he would not be avail able for the Michigan game, but Mike Murphy again demonstrated his worth to the Quaker eleven by whipping the heavy lineman into shape in such a short time.
 The lnemen were driven to their limit by Gus Ziegler, Buck Wharton, LamSon and PlekarSkf. These coach- es lined the men up in the centre of the field and oh the kickoff ran down the field, urging upon the players the necessity of speed.
 After the excellent work of the var sity a practice on Monday a slight reaction set in yesterday and the showing against Mike Murphy's team was not as good as the day before.
 With the prospects of a trip to Michigan before them the scfub play ers who will be sent out by the stu dents as a mark of appreciation for their services to the team this fall, played better than they knew how and for while completely outclassed the first eleven.
 At dinner last night Mike Murphy gave the boys a talk that they will remember for long time He has in- stalled a great deal of confidence into the team.
 The following men left here at 10 o'clock this morning for Ann Arbor: Mercer, Kennedy, Minds. Barr. Thay- CT Keogh, Harrington, Hill, Marshall, Chandler. Spruance, Jourdet, Mattson, Bell. Wolferth, Morris, Findeisen. Keliher, Nolan. Fisher, Young, Me- Call. Greene, Dillon and Crawford

Knockout Brown To Fight Hogan Friday Slam Bang Battle Expected in New York When Slug
 gers Meet

Unless "One Round" Hogan lets up in his slam-bang tactics he will need a couple of fresh sparring partners to help him prepare himself for his ten-round return engagement with K o. Brown at the Madison A. C.. ing camp at Allenhurst, N. Y., yes- terday found two crippled persons, who complained to Hogan's manager, Gil Boag, that unless he boosted their salaries they would quit on the spot rather than have their faces mauled by the stinging wallops delivered by the little Frisco terror
 Boag advised Hogan to give the boys a chance to catch their breath and to take things bit easier all around. The human punching bags received couple of dollars extra as
 Hogan is within two pounds of the required weight, 135 pounds at 6 o'clock. He feels confident he will even up matters with the blond Dutchman, and has advised his friends to bet all they own on his chances.
 I'm going to beat Brown as sure as you're alive" declared Hogan. 1T never felt better in my life, and if I should be beaten it's back to the land of sweet things for me. The weight suits me great and I will be very strong when I get in the ring
 Danny Morgan, who talks for Brown. isn't saying a lot. Hogan will be a good workout for my boy, like Bedell was last week. he leis- urely commented last night. ''I'm af- ter Wolgast That's all that is wor- rying me. Brown is getting in shape at the Boys club It'll be a great fight must say that"
 The winner of Friday nights en- will hn a fnho6 n f1phf Champion Wolgast before Jim Golf froths club in San Francisco early in January. Boag received a wire from Coffroth yesterday to that effect.

RODGERS TO FLY IN CASTS.
Aviator May be Strapped to Biplane New Explanation For His
 Fall.

Los Angeles, Nov. 16-Aviator c. F. Rodgers is planning to complete the ocean to ocean flight, which was so nearly ended when he fell near Comp ton, early next week.
 Rodgers is suffering from severe sprains in both ankles, and it will be necessary for him to be strapped in his machine with his feet in plaster casts if the flight is made.
 Plaster casts won't bother me- said Rodgers. "I can fly with feet amputated if necessary, and I'm going to touch the Pacific with my skids if it kills me-
 It will take the staff of mechanics at least five days to repair the broken parts and tune up the biplane. Then Rodgers will be ready to fly over the remaining seven miles to Long Beach
 Pasedena, Nov 16-"Ethereal asphy- xia or aerial somnipathy' is what Calbraith P. Rodgers, transcontinental aviator, declares attacked him when he fell near Compton last Sunday. Rodgers asserts that this is what caused the deaths of many other avia- tors
 ''It turks in the pockets of the upper air strata'' he said, tand creeps ir- resistibly upon the senses of an avia- tor, lulling him into dreamy uncon- sciousness.
 T believe this same thing to have caused the deaths of Arch Hoxsey, Ralph Johnstone, Eugene Ely, and a number of others who have fallen to their death by losing control of their craft.''
 Rodgers was at an altitude of a thousand feet, he says, when he felt sleepy sensation creeping over him and realized his peril. When about 100 feet from the ground he went to sleep. Rodgers mind was a blank for thirty hours. It is not the rari- fled atmosphere, declares Rodgers. It is a dreamy sleepiness entirely differ ent that overcomes aviators There was no stifling or choking, or pain of the ear drums. The air had a pecu- liar odor. like crloroform or ether. Tn proof that it was not the rarified air or weak heart he points to the fact that he lost consciousness only 100 feet up.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
MILFORD, Del, September IA
Burglars invaded Milford last night,
but were routed by Policeman Trice
after they had robbed one place Pur-
suing the intrduders, Trice fired four
shots at them. but they escaped.
There were three men in the burg
lsrizing expedition. and they were
discovered by Watchman J. Frank
Trice as they were robbing the cloth
ing and notion store of Derrickson
and Van Kirk, on Walnut street.
They broke the plate glass display
window, the noise of which attracted
attention, and they grabbed two suits
Of clothing and some other articles
from the window and fed.
Trice heard them and started IN
pursuit. He got close enough to see
that they were white men and thinks
he could recognize them If he ever
saw them again. Chasing after the
thieves, Trice fred four shots from
his revolver, but they kept on their
way into the country.
At the farm of Daniel Griffith, three
miles west Of Milford. they broke into
the stable and stole the four-year-old
colt and carriage of Harrison Grif-

crop Although considerable sugar is
raised in this country, there is not
enough TO meet the demand Of the

siderable speculation in sugar owing
TO its scarcity, and II is being bought

One grocer said that sugar was az

remember that twenty-five years ago
sugar was ten and twelve cents a

why the present price seemed so stii
