game OF the season. and while the Itha-
cans expect defeat. the resumption OF
athletic relations with the Green is well
coined cordially and the Ithacans hope
to make a showing which will demon
strate that they have recovered from
the early season slump.
Cornelrs chances in this game. as
well as In the games with Michigan

be improved considerably II Captain
Butler regains his full strength and can
go on the field In fine physical condi-

Doom Says He Cannot Use
Them With His
Phillies.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.-'I haven't
out in a claim for Roger Bresnahan or
Frank Chance" says Charley Dooin,
manager OF the Phillies. and further
more | shall not. / do not think that
Chance ever will play again. and. there
fore, he would be OF no use to us.
Bresnahan would be OF little use either
unless he went through a rigid training
course. I would like to have another
t,rst- class catcher. and the Bresnahan
OF past days would be received with
open arms by me. but ] think Roger
OF the present day will not don the
mask again.
"Bresnahan has taken on SO much
extra weight during the time he has
been manager of St. Louis that he Is
Tar from being the great catcher today
that he was when he first Joined the
Cardinals. Despite all the talk that Ia
going about. II Is not likely that Chance
or Bresnahan ever Will play again
They may make desirable managers for
some clubs, and there are several Ma
tionai League clubs that could use
them"
Doom would like to land two first
class pitchers and a good catcher. He
mas several pitchers who are OF high
class yaMher, but he has some also
who are wo .thless or nearly so. They
have been OF little benefit to his team
II the auburn topped manager can gel

Neither Is Represented by
Eleven Equal to Other
Great Teams.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Though no championship will be de-
termined by the result Of Saturdays
clash between Pennsylvania and Mich
igan, the eyes of the whole football
world will. never the less. be directed
toward It. These old foes, who have
fought such wonderful gridiron battles
In tho, past. are certain to do their
best when arrayed against each other.
Neither, Is represented. by a ,flrst-class
eleven, bot they are evenly matched.
Back In 1893. Michigan played its first
game With the Red and blue. The West
had had some great elevens for Few
years before that, and for few more
East about them, and that year four
intersectional contests were played.
The crack Wisconsin eleven. after
travelling half way across the continent,
held Yale to n single touchdown, les
Ing to 0. However. that was hardly

no-score tie with Harvard.

Pennsylvania played two battles with
Western teams, defeating Michigan II
to 10. and holding Chicago's crack
eleven to a 8 to tie score. Then came
a long wait. but In 1906 the Maize and
Blue mingled once more with the Red
and Blue. Michigan might have made
far better showing than 1t did that
year, losing II 90. but for an injury
to Captain Curtiss a few days before
the big contest However, the wonderful
ly constructed attack OF the Wolverines
brought praise from every critic in the
land. and there was great interest In
the game the following year.

WALTER CAMP QUITS

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Nov. 6.-Walter
Camp, jr, son OF Yale's great football
authority, has broken training on the
advice of physicians, and may never
play again. He Is suffering from neuritis
and cannot stand the rigors of the hard
training necessary to success on the

best halfbacks at Yale, and his loss Is
sure to be felt.

Lefty" Flynn how to buck the line

benefit much from Coy's coaching. Coy
is In business In Chattanooga, Tenn
and is spending his vacation here.
A long. hard scrimmage featured the
work OF Yale's varsity squad yesterday,
with Nate Wheeler driving the strong
scrub eleven like a wild man. However.

little impression upon the varsity line.
