~ Telesraph to nc Tribune.

Mlddletown, Conn, Oct I3.-With the
best eleven she has had on the gridiron
since 1905, Wesleyan undergraduates and
the alumni In New York City are ex'
pecting TO see their team give New York
University a hard tussle In the game IN
that city on Saturday. The gruelling con-
test In defeating Brown al Providence
on Saturday left the team battered and
bruised but day or two of light work
will work wonders.
The team which will face New York
University this week will DO practically
the same az the one which lined up
against New York last fall. The team is
better, however. for the score made
against Yale and the good work since
have put confidence into the men.
Jake High is teaching his team the for
ward pass from A TO z, and the result
will be seen in the remaining games on
the schedule Captain Bacon's long runs
in several OF the games thus far mark
him Az one of the star quarterbacks of
the East. Unless injured. he should
prove factor In scoring for Wesleyan
in every game which remains on the
schedule Bucls is being used as his I'M

AUTOS DRIVE OUT RUNNERS
Columbia Gross Country Team
Changes Training Ground.

Columbia's 'cross-country runners have
found that lodging automobiles on River
side Drive is not conducive to good train
ing, and therefore they will run over the
hill-and-dale course In Van Cortlandt
Park, beginning tomorrow.
For the last seven years practically all
Of the 'cross-country work at Columbia
has been done on Riverside Drive and
adjacent streets on Morn'ngside Heights.
Traffic in that part Of the city has be-
come so great, however, that the athletes
are In danger every time they go on the
road. and for this reason Bernie Wefers,
the coach, has decided to move the base
of operations to Van Cortlandt Park.
The new course Is six miles in length,
and follows in general way the course
over which it was proposed y hold the
intercollegiate 'cross-country 40.

THAT man Wagner is a wonder, and he
is New York boy, too" was a remark
overheard as / left the Polo Grounds on
Friday. Yes. Wagner boasts this city as
his home, and in that game In which the
Giants tasted defeat he was more than a
wonder Three Of his plays were almost
uncanny, and richly does he deserve the
name Of being the best shortstop in the
American League. In my opinion another
Wagner-Captain HonUs. OF the Pirates
Is his only rival for the place in baseball.
Red" Murray and Josh Devore are
back once more in the good graces of the
fans" Fame is tieeting, but mistakes
are forgiven and forgotten ever quicker.
1t strikes me that Charley Herzog has
been the backbone Of both the attack and
the defence Of the Giants One must
needs admire player Of his courage and
aggressiveness. TO say nothing of his skill.
Turning from baseball for a moment, I
must say Just one word in memory OF
Tommy Comet, who for many years held
the worlds amateur one-mile record at
4l5 80. Every lover OF track athletics
will mourn his death. He was a great
runner and good fellow. HERBERT.

Harvard can boast Of Captain Wendell
who is ranked as one OF the best hack,
who ever wore Crimson Jersey, together
with Brickley and Hardwlck. OF las
years freshman team, who have indicated
by their work this year that they are well
qualified for both offensive and defensive
play. Brickley is one OF the best all
around athletes in the country. and IN
football he combines weight and speed in
running with rare skill at punting and
drop kicking. Harvard is also after
capable quarterback, but Gardner Is
pretty we'll up to the standard, and IN
this respect the Crimson appears to BE-
better off than Yale and Princeton at this
