PENN'S BACKFlELD NOT
 SHOWING EXPECTED FORM
Capt. Mercer and Minds Must Im- prove to Beat Penn State
 SaturdaY

Pennsylvania must develop that final
 punch if Penn State is to be defeated or even held to a low score. Big
 Bdll HoIlenbach was an interested
 spectator of last Saturdays match
 with Lafayette, and the above is his
 opinion. HoIlenbach, though the
 coach of State, one of Penn's rivals,
 is an intensely patriotic Pennsylva-
 ndan. and when he saw the Penn elev-
 ly held by the Lafayette men in the shadows of their goal posts, he stated
 that the men tackled that final drive or punch which every successful foot bali eleven must have Without it, a good eleven becomes mediocre one, and that is what Penn's team is to-day.
 Despite the defeat on Saturday, the Penn eleven showed distinct i'm prove1nent over the worl1 of the pre- ceding week Lafayette had one of East and they were in the best or condition. They outplayed the Penn linemen, and the latter must be inn proved if Penn is to win any more games this season. State, Michigan, Carlisle and Cornell are four strong teams and with such a. quartet to face the outlook is none too prom ising for a. victory over any of them.
 Mercer, Minds, Harrington and Mar shall seemed names to couture with three weeks ago, but a. doubt is form ing in many minds about their real ability. Though the line ahead of them is not up to Penn's standard it is argued that they cannot be the very strong combination they are supposed to be if they fail to make good so ire when scores are necessary.
 In all three of the last games these backs have failed to carry out the rep utation they have of great running and plunging backs when they have got ten the ball down to their opponents l 10-yard mark. This failure cost Penn the Swarthmore and last Saturday the | Lafayette game. Coach Smith will pay most attention to the line, but he I must also change the back field if they | cannot produce the goods when called on

Connie used to handle him much the same way when he had him at Phil adelphia later on. Last winter Gan tillon followed much the same lines, only on a larger scale. Ruibe pitched great ball for Minneapolis last sum mer so Joe invited him to spend the winter with him on his farm at lick fr m, Ky. WaddeH accepted, and all fall, winter and spring he either fish ed or hunted wild turkeys and other game. As a result he was in pretty fair shape when the season started, all though he is not a youth any more.
 Few know about Rube's early life. Many long years ago the great south paw was working in a tavern at Ken osha, Wis. He was some pitcher then, although not as notorious as later on. There always has been bitter rivalry between Kenosha and Racine, two neighboring Wisconsin cities One day a ball game was arranged between the towns and excitement was keen. Rube had shown such form working on the town lots that he was selected to pitch for Kenosha.

PRINCETON WORKS

 CRIMSON.

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 30-A forty i've minute scrimmage against Coach Herr1ngs eleven was the strenuous
 work for the Tiger varsity yesterday
 afternoon, although they were on the
 field but two hours and a quarter. The preliminary work was entirely taken up with individual coaching by the large army of coaches that was on the field. Waller and De Witt spent a long time in bunting, their long spira1s av- eraging up we'll Some of the kicks sailed for fifty or f1fty-five yards.
 In the melee with Herrings cubs the regulars pushed over only one touch down, but their work on the whole was creditable. The tally came on slzin tackle play, with Waller carry ing the ball for thirty yards. The line was charging low and fercely and showed the results of the coaching. tfBush'' Dunlap at right end played game that was by far the best that any of the Orange and Black forwards have put up. The coaches are watch ing the wing men closely and seem to be getting results.
 ''Eddie'' Trenkman, captain of last years freshmen eleven, was back on the field after being laid off on ac- count of an injury. He was in part of the scrimmage and seemed to add greatly to the life of that side of the line. De Wdtt was not in the scrim- mage. nor did he take part in the sig nal drill, devoting all the time that he was on the field to kicking.

For the last seven or eight years the people Of East Bridgeport have watched with pride the football play ing of the LAkeviews. Their record for this long time taken on the whole has not been far from perfect. Last September this team was represent ed by a good bunch of young men but for some reason or other they did not stick
 We'll, when the Lakevfew Jrs., found that their elder brothers were not go- ing to play they set out to keep the the teams, but after playing gameNs two of which resulted in defeats VIZ found that we could not show the class that a team bearing the name Lakeview Jrs., should show. So ra:th- view we thought the best thing to do was to- disband. Now we want it un- derstood that we did not disband be- cause we were defeated twice but the reason is we want to help our elder members to organize team to keep the name and colors Of the Lakeviews where they have stood for the past seven years.
 Hoping this will satisfy the teams that were in our weight and also hop ing to see the LakeviewS playing their usual good game before long. As this will probably be our last item this season we want to thank your paper fer this and past favors. We remain, stephen McMahony, manager, Joseph sichilling. captain of Lakeview Jrs. A. c.

If Ray Collins, the Boston Red Sox pitcher, had not known the people, his dignity might have been offended when he paid his last visit home up in Yer mont One of the old inhabitants up there who used to get to Boston once in a while and see the old Boston Ma tiona1s play, still thinks that the Ma tional League is the only big league and that all the others, including the American organization. are minors.
 The old gentleman in question got to talking base ball with Ray.
 Getting along pretty we'll this sea- son? ?' he asked.
 Pretty we'll" replied Ray.
 Hitting you very hard?' came the next question.
 'No," remarked the Red Sox south paw. I'm winning most of my games and holding the other fellows to but few runs.''
 That's the stuff,'' remarked the old timer. Keep it up and some day one of them scouts for the National Lea g1pe will come round and offer you a good job on one of their tea11g. Of course, it is hard getting in with such company and 8 fellow has to be a mighty good ball player.

The Terre Haute club of the Central league wants to sell few players to the Bridgeport club. Secretary Reddy of the Mechanics has received a letter from Terre Haute offering InfleIdec Nee, Catcher Hargrove and Pitchers Patterson, Jones and Cantwel1. The latter is the only one of the lot who has a good record. He was with the Cincinnati team and Is said to be a heady pitcher. It is not the policy of the Class B leagues to buy broken down players from other leagues. The managers would rather pick up their own youngsters and train them. So Terre Haute can't unload any gold bricks here.

YANKEES MIGHT
 USE POLO GROUNDS
RUMoR AGAIN CROPS UP THAT AMERICANS WILL PLAY ON
 GIANTS FTEID.

There was a persistent rumor in baseball circles last night that the Grounds, New York, next year. This story has been printed several times recently, with more or less emphasis, but in every case President Frank Ear reH denied that he had made any such arrangements with John T. Brush, owner of the Giants.
 Only g. week ago Farrell said he had not talked to Brush about the proposition, but since that time, Far rell and Brush have come to terms.
 Whether the arrangement will be permanent could not be learned. At any rate, it is known that Farre1Ps lease on the grounds at 166th street, and Broadway will expire soon % and that it cannot be renewed for 8 long term of years.
 At present Farrell is having built at Kingsbrfdge a new park, but the work is slow and it Is certain it can not be finished by the time the sea- son opens next April.
 Farrell encountered many difficu1- ties in acquiring title to the Kings bridge property, and it is the belief of baseball men that his ultimate ob- ject is to build a stadium there for not eclipse the huge plant built by Brush on the Polo Grounds.
 As it is impossible. 1however. for Farrell to finish his stadium in less than a year, it is thought that he has, arranged with Brush to occupy the home of the Giants in 1913 at least.
 If this arrangement should turn out to be beneficial, 1t is said, that it may be continued indefinitely, and the Kingsbridge project may be aban- doned.
 Before Farrell could negotiate with Brush for the use of the Polo Grounds it was necessary for the owner of the New York Americans to obtain the consent of the American League
 It is believed this consent has been obtained or at least that Farrell has the annual meeting of the American League in December. This statement also applies to Brush and the National leag11e. it is said
