showed themselves to be the best mold
ed team that has ever sported the
Crimson colors. In open style football.
as well as the old-time line-smashins
game, they exceIled. Brickley and Fell
ton, who took care of the kicking game
for them, are without doubt two OF the
greatest toe artists that the game has
ever known. On defense the forwards
in the first line OF defense had the
knack of getting the charge on the OPP
ponent, and then OF carrying the first
effort through by a mighty second ef-
fort which accounts to a great extent
for the many gains made by the back
field men through opposing lines.
The second line Of defense displayed
the ability of Immediately diagnosing
the other teams offense and then get

he had crossed the line OF scrimmage-

ed victory over the big Dartmouth elev-
ems and of their desperate battle with
Yale, are given the second position.
The Tigers had a fast but rather light
squad of players. They displayed an Of
Tense early in the season that led many
critics to believe that they would repeat
the performance OF last year ana sue
coed in defeating Harvard and Yale.
This failure can be traceable to the fact
that most all of the Tiger town men
were lacking in experience.
The rating OF the other teams is n
very difficult proposition. nevertheless,
II Carlisle were placed first, with Yale,
Penn State, Annapolis Swarthmore.
Colgate, Georgetown. Army, Pennsyl-
vania, and Cornell following. I believe
that it would be the proper rating.
Speaking OF Costello. Thorpe says at
quarter back very few men are quail
fed. In fact. this season has not deveI-
oped any men that could compare with
Fred Smith, Phil King, of Princeton, or
any Of the other old-timers. Costello OF
Georgetown, a man that is very little
heard of in this section OF the country,
is given the preference over Miller, of
Penn State, and Bacon, of Wesleyan
Costello is a past master at every re-
quirement Of the game. He covered
punts in the back field as no other man
has this season. He is a drop kicker
and punter of great ability; in open
field playing he has shown wonderful
ability.

MACKMEN ENJOYED
THEIR CUBAN TRIP
Eddie Collins Says Plank, Coombs,
and Bender Were Marvels
on the Slab.

Philadelphia, Dec 3-After the Ath-
letics returned to Philadelphia from their
Cuban trip they scattered to all quar-
tiers of the globe. and while each and
every member of the team enjoyed the
trip, they were glad to set foot on Uncle
Sans domains
Eddie Collins, the peerless second base
man, at his home in Lansdowne, related
his experiences Of the Cuban invasion.
The Athletics looked better in Cuba
than they have since they played the
Chicago Cubs" ne said. Il never saw
the fellows in such form. Every man
ment and still they played ball that
made the eyes OF the natives bulge with
establishment. Frank Baker hit one on
the nose in a game against Havana; II
few from the bat like a streak OF loose
white wash. The last l saw OF II, II
was turning into a star in the sky.
THE climate was not so bad. in fact, I
liked 1t, but. OF course. 1t must be fright
full there in the summer time. Their
ball teams are good, for the short time
they have been playing. but they could
not hold their own in either the Ameri-
can or National League. The best team
Is the Almendares; they won two games
the only games We lost on the island.
They have two OF the Cincinnati team
there, both Cubans, Marsans, an outfield-
er, and Almedia, a shOrtstop.
The Athletics played twelve games
and won ten OF them; that speaks well
for the team. The diamonds are not up
to the American standard. They are
sandy and uneven. A hard hit grounder
may come bobbing to you and just as
you reach to clutch IL, II will fly over
your head or hit you in the face. Both
Barry and I got some ugly whacks from
these grounders. The Cubans thought
they had the best ball clubs In the
world until we went down there, and
then they began to realize that Uncle
Sam had a few teams that overmatched
them.
II want to say a word about our three
pitchers, Eddie Plank, Jack Coombs. and
Chief Bender. They had more than
they have ever shown. and they used II
when II was needed. Jack Coombs
pitched a no-hit, no-run game against
Havana. and but one man got to first
base. He got there through an error.
The Cubans did not know what to make
OF the way Jack shot that pill over the
plate His old injury has healed and II
will never bother him again, think"

TO CAPTAIN YALE
Crack Center Rush Will Lead Ellis
Next Season-Wil Announce
Plans Later.

New Haven, Conn. Dec. 3.-Yale's
football captain for next season will be
Henry Holman Ketcham, OF Brooklyn.
He was chosen this evening in the
trophy room of the university gymna-
stun by the twenty-three members of
the Yale team who faced either Har-
ward or Princeton. There was not an
absentee Of the number entitled to vote.
and il was the largest body which ever
baIlotted for an Eli captain. Some
votes, 1t is understood, were cast for
Ban Avery, who played right end all
the season, but Ketchams choice was
formally announced as unanimous.
Captain Spalding, of the 1872 team,
presided and thanked the players for
their efforts. and the players were his
guests at the University Club after the
election. KetchRm stated that he was
not ready to announce any plans for
next season.
Ketcham has played center rush for
two seasons, and was the logical choice
for the captaIncy.
