ELEVENTH REVIVAL OF DAVIS CUP MATCH TO BE
 PLAYED THIS WEEK

The last three days of this week will witness another contest for the Davis international Challenge Cup, to be played on the courts of Melbourne, Australia. with the Australian stars defending the trophy against the challengers from the British Isles This will be the eleventh challenge trophy, which was offered by Dwight L. Davis, an American, in 1900. The first contest was played Aug. S-10, at Longwood, near Boston. The Arneri- can team, composed of Davis, Ward and Whitman, defeated the British invaders, Gore, Black and Barrett by thre matches to nothing. Two years later the British tennis authorities selected another team, com posed of R. F. and H. L. Doherty and J. Pim. The second match was held in New York. and America, represented by Whitman, Larned, Davis and Ward, land, with R. F. and H. L. Doherty, defeated A. D. and G. l.. Wrenn and w. A. Larned, representing America, by four matches to one, and the cup crossed the Atlantic. The 1904 con test was held at Wimbledon, Eng land, between English and Belgian teams. The Belgian players had won the right to challenge by defeating France. R. F. and H. L. Doherty and of England against w. Lemaire and F. de Borman, winning by five match es to nothing. Australia entered the lists a few years later and the cup went to the antipodes. England and America competed for the right to challenge, the latter winning. Beais c. Wright and F. B. Alexander went

BARNARD COACH SAYS GREAT PUNT1NG HELPED DEFEAT
 YALE ELEVEN.

Cambridge. Mass, Nov. 25--Coach Percy D. Haughton. in a statement yesterday. contributed Harvard's vic tory over Yale solely to the grand bunting of Fre1ton and the general alI- around excellence of the remainder of the team
 The majority of the players arrived home well and happy. Bob Storer. who made the Crimson's first touch down against Yale in eleven y ears, is the only man with a troublesome in- jury. His knee is badly wrenched, and water on the knee is fear ed. He is at his home in Boston. The others are stiff and sore.
 Harvard's prospects for next sea son are rather promising. Captain wendell Parmenter, Gardner and Fe1ton are the only members of the eleven who graduate Bradlee, who has substituted for Wendell all Fall with great success, and Wigglesworth, substitute centre, are the only men of the nine substitutes who made their letters Saturday, who return next year.
 NBrsckley. T4ardwick, ,Pennock, Trunl- bull and O'Brien made the coveted seF7s- for the first time Saturday, and WigglesWorth, BradIee, Graustein. Lingard, Bradley, HoIlister, T. Froth- ingham, Lawson and Driscoll also earned their initials; five of the nine being practically gifted with them, because of the one-sided score and three years of faithful service.
 Storer and Hitchcock, both juniors and tackles, are the foremost candi- dates for the Captaincy.

DETROIT OWNER
 R0ASTS PLAYERS
OPPOSES PLAN TO PAY THEM DURING SOUTHERN TRAIN
 ING TRIP.

Detroit. Nov 25-Presfdent Frank J. Navin Of the Detroit Tigers said yes- terday he would be pleased if the base ball players attempted to make good Dn the demand proposed by their new Fraternity for salary during the spring training trips.
 Navir thinks it would result in unit ed action by the magnates of both leagues to discontinue the trips, and thus save the two major leagues ap- prOxImate1y $1O0.O00 a year.
 In the early days of baseball there were no spring trips. Navin said. yet the players reported in condition. They either kept in condition all win ter by various activities or they took off their superhuol1s flesh by gymna- sfum work.

 For my part. r believe that spring training trips are of little value, any men sa can % get in In condition in the North if necessary. It was thought once that the spring trip was a good ehance to get a line on the young sters.
 nHowever, we have come to the conclusion that 1t is better to have. the youngsters report in the fall. We certainly can see better what they gan do when. they are in their best conditions in the fall than when they are getting hardened in the spring. go 1t seems unfair that the play CTS should even mention getting pay for the spring trips
 The fact that Donie Bush did not report until the opening of the sea- son last spring and was in as good condition as the men who went South has 6 good deal to do with strength ening Nav1n's opinion.

ELI TEAM DID
 NOT FIND ITSELF
YALE NEWS SAYS NEW RULES
 HAVE NOT BEEN GRAsPED.

The Yale News editorially says this morning about the YaIe-Harvard foot ball game Saturday:
 'sTae crushing defeat suffered by the university eleven at the hands of liar ward brought to a gloomy climax a succession of three depressing foot ball seasons which have terminated with no reasonable grounds for con tentment. The team started well on saturday, and for the first ten minutes Of play looked to be a rejuvenated eleven, but the elementary Weaknesses. so glaringly present all season, .caus- ed it's early dennoralization, from which it was never able to emerge un-f til just before the end, when a well, driven. consistent attack was only in- terrupted on the visitors seven yard line
 tsThe toffense was not strong or yer sat1le enough--nor has it shown at any time sufficient scoring a:biIity-to retrieve successfully after costly mis- takes-which Harvard concerted into scores. There was conclusive evil dence that a Yale team has not yet found itself under the new rules with the result that advantages have not been taken of the possibilities afford ed by the changes.
 @sOnce thrown in the rt1t, the rush strong enough to give the team any great confidence in overcoming an op- poner ts lead. A splendid defensive line and exhibition of brilliant indi- yidua1 work in three or four positions were the redeeming features of YaIe,s ragged game.
 For Harvard's decisive victory we have nothing but praise. The Crimson met us with an effective, resoareefulT eleven, whose title to the champion ship cannot be questioned nor is it narred by any semblance of hulke.
 For Captain Spa1ding we have the deepest admiration He kept his men fighting until they left the field and his aggressive leadership has made us glad that he was at the 1ead-even of a. losing team,

 Several of the Yale players yester- day went to their homes to remain till after Thanksgiving but most remain attend the breaking of training ban uuet last night. and cuts on the faces of Gallauer and Phnbin and a slight knee wrench of Boneisler are the only injuries sustained.
 The question of a. change in the coaching system that will insure a res eral years was warmly commended. Under the constitution adopted by Yale's new Athletic committee, which took charge of the management of Yale sports this fall, the power of ordering the change rests with that committee. A majority of it's mem bers are undergraduates, but the mat ter will be discussed and voted upon at an early date.
 With Talbot, Ketchann, Pendleton, Warren. Avery. Wheeler. Flynn, Cor neil Arnold; Purnpelly, Markle s and and with several strong players from the freshman class. the outlook is by no means slim. The twenty-two play CTS who won their insignia by playing against Harvard or Princeton wiI1 meet next week and will probably elect Henry Ketcham captain.
 Yale will realize about SSO, ,OO0 from the past season-$34, GOO from Satur- days game, BPS GOO from the Princeton game, s10,0O0 from the Brown contest and about $8 1000 from the others Next year the presence of the new sta dium for the Yale-Princeton match and the fact that the YaIe-Harvard game will be played in Cambridge will probably bring the receipts of the season up to fully $1G0, ,0O0-
 If the present coaching system is maintained at Yale, Capt. Ketcham will probably choose Capt. Spalding as his head coach, with Philbin and Cooney as his assistants.e

NELSON IN FINE SHAPE
 F03 BOUT WITH GROSS
Has Many Good Offers If He Beats
 Leach Thanksgiving.

Battling Nelson declared yesterday that he is entirely satisfied with his condition for his ten-round bout with Leach Cross at the Forty-fourIh Street Sporting Club, New, York. on Thanksgiving afternoon. The Dane rested all day, giving his right ear, which was bruised by his sparring partner a chance to heal. Nelson weighed 137 pounds after a short walk through Central Park. In the afternoon he entertained Bantam Champion Johnny Coulon, who is really a protege of Nelson's, and tgse two talked over Nefson's ring plans for the fight with Cross.
 Nelson also took other fight offers under consideration. all of them be- ing conditional on defeating Cross In the event of winning Thanksgiving afternoon Nelson will immediately be matched to meet K. O. Brown at the same club eight days later.
 The Dane worked at Cooper's gym nasium this afternoon. Young Cor beff. his old opponent and the referee for the Cross bout, being scheduled to visit the gymnasium to hold con- ference with Nelson regarding the g-r1Ies. Nelson is insistent on Cross bandaging his hands in the ring, and if Is understood Corbett has agreed fo enforce the demand

 Now that the Yale-Harvard battle is over the Eli football authorities are trying to figure where they stand rnent Saturday The Harvard team was the best all around aggregation Of recent years The players were fast followed the ball very closely and ap- peared to be sure of themselves ev- cry minute. They constantly encour- aged each other and on the defense were always shouting directions to break up the Yale plays. Upon the other hand Ya1e,s showing was a sor- ry one. The men did not seem to know what they were supposed to do Much has been written about the fumbling of punts- That was one glaring weakness displayed by the Wheeler alone The local boy did his share of the fumb1ing but Flynn and Cornell who afterward tried the job, were no better. The situation can be realized at once when it is said that until the fourth period only one punt was caught c1ean1y by Yale man. Dyer clutched one firmly after he had given the signal for fair catch and the throng was so astonished that Dyer was given a big cheer.

TICKET DEPART TMENT BUSY AT YALE ON EVIDENCE FOR
 RLACKLISTING STUDENTS

New Haven. NoV. s25.-It will take 8 day or two of thorough investigat- ing to determine who the fifty or more students and graduates are who have speculated in tickets for the Ya1e-Harvard game. The evidence of twenty or more detectives employed by the Yale ticket department, and the Harvard authorities, has been turned in to the offices, and there will be trouble in finding out to whom the tickets were given, as every seat and it's purchaser is recorded.
 But there is a bare possibility in some cases that speculation on the part of the students was not de1ib- crate. They may have lost their tickets, and may not have reported the loss, and the same may have reached the hands of speculators. In that case the students holding tick cts will not be blacklisted.
 EVerard Thompson said last night that he was confident that as much if not more speculating was done by graduates who were able to get two tickets as by undergraduates.
 There is no doubt that specula ting was heavier on the Harvard end than here, for Harvard tickets were easier to get. This year, too, number of single tickets were on the market, and much specu1ating was done with
