Polly Matthews, who has been on
the injured list since the Chester
game, will not be able to play tomor-
row against Brown Prep" on account
OF parental objection.
The upheaval IN the plans Of Coach

ton to the backfeld. that Wilson will
go from guard 10 tackle and Ashen-

SEW YORK, Nov. 27.--When the

Stems behind closed doors at the Wal
dorf. it was expected that a definite
decision on the charges ON which
Horace Fogel. Of Philadelphia was on
trial, would be reached today. While
it was believed certain that Fogel
would be expelled as an individual

Volved. it is claimed that every mag
nate expects charges viii be brought
against him by President Lynch. And
he may go the way Of Fogel II the
test votes taken TO date are any cri-
terion.
The lineup to date shows only two
clubs back Of Fogel, Chicago and
Philadelphia, and it was declared
about the corridors OF the Waldorf
that " Murphy is TO come up on

When the sessions were resumed
today, W S. Forman, sporting editor
of the Chicago newspaper that pub

Fogel against President Lynch and
his umpires was still on the stand.
He was further examined regarding
his sworn statement that Charles

Fogel had sent Il to Murphy who had
read and approved Il before turning
II over for publication.
Forman, according TO J. Conway
Toole, OF New York, attorney for
President Lynch. intended to show
absolutely that there had been a d.
rect connection between Fogel and
Murphy at all times in an attempt TO
discredit Lynch.
Murphy himself was quoted today
as declaring that Forman was mot
on the level" with his charges. Ac-
cording to the story. the Chicago
president said;
This is a lot OF rubbish. Why.
hardly know this man Forman. but
I can guess that his paper is sore
because We let Frank Chance go. His
paper thinks that by pounding me

fans. but il will find that II is mis-
taken. AS matter OF fact, the sug-
gcstion that charges will be brought

Despite Murphy's statement, how
ever. 1T was expected Lynch would
bring charges some time between

the team off its stride and had a big
effect on the late games of the sched-
ule. These unfortunate occurrences un-
doubleday had their effect i'm weaken
ing the team, but hardly enough to
account for such a failure as the Ellis
made in their big games.
Names in Hall of Fame.
The season added several names
that will live long in the annals of
the game, but none stands out more
prominently than that of Charley
Brickley, the great kicking half
back of the Harvard team. Brickley
was an unknown in the football world
putil the Amherst game-the fourth
on the Harvard schedule-that the
Everett boy began to show the Won
derful scoring ability that he possess
SEQ. From that time until the season
closed Briekley was Harvard hero,
adding goal after goal with his Won
derful toe, and finishing up the sea-
son in a blaze of glory against Yale.
Brickley demonstrated conclusively
that he was no false alarm. He was
not drop-kicker only, he was a
high-class football player in every
respect capable of holding a place on
Harvard's great back field, even with
out his drop-kicking. and there is
little doubt that he will be an almost
unanimous selection in the numerous
mythical all-American elevens that
will soon break into print.

Five others were more or less injured

Owing to the wrong initials, which

He received a letter from Harry

visiting Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Phelps
ut Piedmont. Mr.. Phelps is managing
partner in the firm of Taft & Penney.

the aunt of Miss Barraclough, report
ed as probably fatally injured.
Further, the writer stated that 1is
wife, Mrs. Madge Lewis, was leaving
for the East with their son Donald, be
for the end of the month, to place

facts Mr.. Single believes that the

secretary Fishers inquiry into the
complaints made BY Delegate Kuhio
against Governor Frear was turned
this morning with almost dramatic
suddennese and effect into state
ment BY Mr.. Fisher as to his own
policy with regard to the Governor Of
this Territory That policy, as he de-
clared II off-hand but with consider
able vigor, is OF recognizing the Gov
ernor's administration, Of consulting
him with regard to political appoint
ments. and Of cooperating with him.
Moreover the Secretary Of the Inte-
rior took the occasion to assert with
even more vigor, his big voice booming
out into the Senate chamber with un-
mistakable emphasis that so far as
he II aware, the national administra-
ton has neYer failed to support Gov
ernor Frear.
This sudden turn to a rather un-
eventful hearing came toward the end
Of the morning. Attorney G. w. Ash
ford. whose illness last Saturday pre-
vented him from appearing for the
Delegate, had made lengthy state
ment on setting forth the Delegates
attitude. Then Mr. Fisher called upon
''Mr. Carter Both the Ex-Governor
and A. w. Carter. who is member
Of the land board, were present, and
George r. was the one to answer the
call It appeared q little later that
Mr.. Fisher might have meant the Par
ker ranch manager. rs he was under
the impression that George r. was q
member of the land board, but, at any
rate, George r. helped furnish the
fireworks.
Mr.. Carter did 1t by starting off
with his own reasons for not support
ing Governor Freaf for reappointment,
and began his reasons with the ale
cation that Governor Frear has not
received the support of the national
administration and is not close enough
In touch with washington" He took
the ground taken in that famous In.
terview some time ago in which he
declared that Frear's reappointment
would be a tactical mistake.
He had gone only a short distance
fn this direction, however, when Mr..
Fisher, interrupting, declared that he
didn't know of any such lack OF sup
HOlI ohO luOfC Cu6uCO O Aobto nv -
questions and rejoinders as to what
Mr.. Carter meant by lack of support
and how far Governor Frear is TO be
consulted on judicial appointments,
etc. Mr. Fisher said he didn't think
Frear would have anything to do with
judicial appointments. Then the dis
cussion turned upon the policies sof
Territorial and national administra-
tiuns and their relations. Finally,
without much light having been shed
vpon the subject but with Mr.. Carter
quite sure that Governor Frear had
not received proper support from the
administration, Mr.. Fisher turned his
Queries upon land matters.
Mr.. Ashford's talk took up most of
the morning.
