SCANDAL OVER
 ARMY-NAvY GAME
MANY TICKETS IN HANDS OF REGULATORS SOLDaAT
 HIGH PRICES.

PhiIadelphia. Now 3e.<- Because of a scandal connected with the sale of Army Navy football tickets. different arrangements may be made next year for handling the pastehoards-s Of ficials of the two institutions are in dignant because tickets are being hawked for sale at high prices by speculators.
 The seating capacity of Franklin Field, where the game will be play ed, has been increased several thou sand, making the scarcity of tickets less marked than. in former years. The last available ticket was disposed of by the university authorities yes terday, but spectators last night lined Broad street, offering to buy or sell the coveted pasteboards. The prices demanded ranged from $S to s15 ticket, according to the loca- ton.
 Capt. Philip Matthews of the Army Athletic Association and other offic- CTS made an investigation. but failed to find any of the arnny's allotment in the hands of spectators. He de- clares that most of those offered for sale are part of the FPennsyivania all lotnent. The University of Pennsyl- vania authorities admit that some of those allotted to holders of athletic association books have been, offered publicly for sale, and are preparing a list of those found guilty of selling their tickets. The list will be sub n1ittec to the University's committee for action.

CARLISLE ENDS
 SEASON IN SHAPE
IN SPITE OF HARD SCHEDULE
 INDIANS HAVE NO BAD INJURIES.

Carlisle. Pa. Nov. 3O-So wonderful has been the physical condition of the Carlisle Indian football players dur ing the season just closed that, with the exception of class of injuries classed minor, not a single man of this wonderful aggregation of football stars is out of condition A sliced nose, bruised ankle tendons and a cou- pie of painful Charley Horses are the only outward or serious evidences that the heaviest football schedule in the country has just been successfully con- cluded by the players, who returned here this morning from the overwhelm- ing defeat of Brown University.
 Thorpe, hailed as the gres test foot ball player of all time,r laughed gent ly at the suggestion that he must be Jagged out by his wonderful work, and said:
 ''Oh, I have a few bruises, but they don't amount to anything.'
 Thorpe and We1ch are planning to take a rest for few days hunting bear in Oklahoma. It is thought here that. outside of Thorpe's a1l--Anerican selection, Welch, quarteroack; Bersie, centre; Guyon, tackle; Arcass, half back; and Powell, fullbacS, all have good a1l-American chances.

ANOTHER BRICKLEY
 STARS AT FOOTBALL
GEORGE, YOUNGER BROTHER OF, HARVARD WONDER, CRACK HALFBACK AT
 PREP. SCHOOL.

Boston, Nov. 30-The work of George Brick1ey the Harvard stars brother, in the Everett-Oak Park game today for the national prep school foot ball championship will be watched with interest George Brickley is one of the stars of the Everett team and is slated for Harvard after he is graduated.
 Details of the game between Oak Park and Lake Forest Academy, whereby the former proved conclusive Iy that Lake Forest had no substan- tiaI claim upon the interseholastic championship of the middle West, showed that Everett must prepare to meet line which, while not heavy, is exceedingly gfasts also one that is well backed up by a speedy backheId group. Lake Forest was beaten by 40 to O, yet it showed that Oak Park is not invuInerab1e by marching fifty wards down the field on series of rushes, involving nothing but old fashioned football.
 It is question. therefore if Oak Park can hope to slave off the strong rushes of such sterling backs as Sweet land and George Brickley of Everett, especially with 9 set of forwards like that on the Everett team.
 Sweetland- and Brick1ey- gave a fine exhibition Of their rushing power last Saturday against Somervi1ie High, starring in the first half and Brickley toward the end of the game. Sweetland is. off like a flash in his dashes through the line. He hits the line low and so hard that even after being tackled he generally manages to make three to ten yards before being speedy in getting under way, but once he gets up speed there are few boys in. the school ranks who are harder to down. He uees the straight arm 70 to shake off. two or three tacklere be- fore coming to earth

PEHH MAY GIVE UP
 ROWING NEXT. SEASON
Lack of Success Has Soured Grads on
 Aquatic Sports

Philadelphia Nov. 30.-R- F., Lam berton of Penn. a candidate for the athletic committee there, declares:
 ''It would be far better for our pres tige and for our pocketbool1s if row ing were dropped entirely, and there has been much talk over these lines of late. Rowing is sure to be abo1- ished at Penn if the slump continues much longer, and it is to save this grand sport. in which Penn at one time was supreme, that I am advo- eating radical changes
 Rowing at Penn for years has been under the control of a little coterie of men, They have in times past given generously of their time and money and have done good service for Penn But of late years they have got out of, touch with the undergraduates and, have fallen into a hopeless rut. The result is that rowing at Penn is dy-' ing of dry rot.''

 Ray Keating. the local boy who is now with the New York Americans, is loud in his praises of Jake BouItes- the third baseman Bridgeport secured from Lowell in exchange for Oi1tf1cIder Howard Baker. Kea ting played against Boultes in the New England last season and knows the player well ''Boultes can hit 'em hard says Heating, "and he is there in fielding, too. He covers a lot of ground and throws the ball to first like a bullet I can't understand why Lowell let him go, unless he was in bad. with the fans He is a St Louis boy Er1J three yeafs.'' ft
