Trinity Wins From
 N. Y, University

Entering the game with the expec- tation of scoring at least five or six touchdowns. the Trinity football team was lucky to come through with to Q victory over the New York Univer- sity eleven at Ohio Field, New York. yesterday afternoon The showing of the Violet was most gratifying to it's adherents. who saw their eleven hold the Hartford men almost to even break and give an exhibition that was worthy of the best combination that ever represented the institution.
 After the mediocre game the Violet had been putting up all season there was little hope among N. Y. U. men that their eleven would emerge with less than about forty points cha1ked up against it In view of the fact that 3EuhIen burg taIlied hfty-four points and Williams got twenty-four on N r. U-, Trinity, stronger than either, was regarded as absolutely too az greSsive for Jake Highs men. Not so long ago Trinity held the Colgate team that defeated Yale by 16 to 6, to a to 70 score.

Baker Gets AS Yard Goal in
 Drill For Harvard Game

Princeton, N J., Nov 5-A pro longed practice in every department of the game was the Tiger schedule for yesterday. A 45-minute scrimmage was held, in which the varsity work was very satisfactory. The scrubs were given permanent possession of the ball and used the Harvard plays, which they had been practising all week.
 The varsity showed up well against these formations, although Tippots, an ineligible freshman, who played in Ma hans position on the scrub '<Harvard'' team, broke away once for a, 40-yard run from the middle of the field. The varsity held fast on their 10-yard line. broke up an attempted forward pass over the goal line and held the scrubs without score
 The fracas with the scrubs was fol- lowed by another scrimmage for thirty minutes with the freshmen eleven, which ended in IS to victory for the varsity. "Hobey'' Baker made the first score on a. placement kick from the 45-yard line. A few minutes later he ran around right end for a touch down Law made the second touch down on a, twenty-yard run. Phillips was back in the game and showed no Ill effects from his long rest

contests, which inaugurated the foot ball madness among American col leges, was the first distinctive grid iron coz 2 ever adopted on this side. of the Atlantic. Football had been play ed in the United States and Canada long before it was taken up by the institutions of learning, but the Eng fish rules were enforced in real games, while in the cruder contests that went by the name of football there were no rules at all, the sole aim being to get the ball between the goals of the enemy, any sort of play that could possibly effect that object being per nissib1e.
 Under the pioneer American col Iege code each team had twenty-five players Other rules were:
 The grounds must be 36O feet in length and 225 feet in width, and the goals must be set a distance of eight paces from each other.
 There must be four judges and two referees.
 The team winning the first toss IS to have the choice of position. while the winner of the second toss has the first kick-off.
 There must be no throwing or run ming with the ball, and such consu- tutes a foul, when the ball must be thrown perpendfcularly in the air by the guilty team.
 There must be no holding of the ball nor free kicks.
 When a ball passes beyond the limit of the field by the side of the goal it shall be kicked on from the boundary by the side having that goal.
 When the ball passes beyond the limit at the side of the field it shall be kicked on horizontally to the boundary by the side which kicked it out.
 There shall be no holding or trip ping of players.

AT END
 FOR YALE ELEVEN
Coaches Make Another Change In Lineup To Prepare For
 Princeton

Captain Ketcham of the Yale elev- en, who has been playing such star game in the center of the Bulldogs line all year, was moved to right end in yesterdays practice at Yale field. Having been the mainstay of the now to apply his speed and weight to getting down under punts and in tercepting end runs.
 It was the first time he had been at the field since the Colgate game last Saturday, after which he was ut terIy fatigued and taking the advice of the coaches, retired from the active contest for a. few days. In .his place at right guard is Way, who played well at that position in the beginning of the season.
 The other shift of yesterdays drill was the placing of Wilson at quarter back. Although 1t is understood that Wheeler will be the varsity selection for the position, still wilson will be trained further in the work with which he began the year. But, although he will receive instruction in the duties of his new position, Wilson will con tinue to play in the games at full back where his interference is re- quired Tn this way the team will never find itself without a competent quarterback, the coaches having learn ed a lesson by the injury to Cornish, who was thought to be invincible.
 With Ketcham, Avery played end, but it is possible that he may give way to Brann or perhaps Carter, who ed center with Way and Cooney on each side of him. Talbot and War ren were at the tackle positions. The mid-backdeld was composed of Aims worth and Knowles, with Dunn at fulIback.

LEACH CROSS'S BODY
 NOT THAT OF FIGHTER

When Leach Cross climbs through the ropes with Willie Fsitchie at the Garden, New York, next Monday night it will be the supreme moment of the gle looking Hebrew has seen three lightweight champions pass since he first donned the rnitts. During that time he has been boxing steadily, and yet he is now at the height of his form While the two former cham pions now living are battered wrecks Cross is better than ever And yet he has been as active as they.
 During his long career Cross has met most of the best men of his class, with the exception of the champions. No title holder until Ritchie's time has thought fit to grant Cross a match. In fact there never was a demand for Cross to figure in titular battle un- til recently. For years he was looked upon merely as New York second rater. His fame was strictly local. But now at this late date he has be- come known all over the country as one of the leading contenders for the title.
 Few boxers have reached the zenith of their careers after taking part in as many bouts as Cross has. With him his turning point may be still some distance off. Certainly, he shows no signs of being near the time when his powers will begin to wane.
 What adds to the mystery is the fact that physically Cross is far from rug ged, as far as appearances go. His long, thin neck looks out of place in a fighting man and his lean body and attenuated features appear more like those of a victim of the white plague than those of a robust athlete.
 If Cross were a clever boxer his power to last might be more easily ex- pIained, but he is far from being g. glove scientist Frequently he has been compelled to suffer severe pun ishment During the days of his mo- vftiate he was knocked out more than once, and as rule he was well beat en up before he won.

DANIELS HIT MOST
 BY PITCHED BALLS

When Frank Farrell sent Bert Dan iels to Baltimore as part payment for Fritz Maieel he removed from the American League the player who was cleverest at reaching first base by be- ing hit by pitched balls. The former Yankee drew seventeen casualty passes last season, being winged three times in one game played with the Senator8s On this occasion Daniels probably seS a major league record, for while it has happened before that a player has been hit three times in a game no one remembers when a. player was hit three times in a game by three differ ent pitchers, as was Daniels The men who winged him were Ga1lia, Engel and Hughes.
 Next to Daniels the man who re- ceived the greatest number of Red Cross passes were Larry Lajoie of the Maps He was hit by pitched balls fifteen times, the wound he received from Keifer of the Yankees putting him on the hospital list for a month The player most seriously crippled by being hit by a pitched ball was Catcher Sam Agnew of the Browns Joe Ensei Of the Nationals beaned him on July 18th and Agnew was unable to play again for six weeks

The Commission was on its way to San Diego to awsrd the contract for the New Mexico building for which the New Mexico Legislature appropriated $20, ,OOO and which is to house exhibits valued at $100, 900 as far as value can be placed upon such priceless displays as that which will be made by the School of American Archaeology and which will include the greatest collection of prehistoric and eth nological relics ever sent to an ex- position. How New Mexico men of wealth view the proposition may be gauged from the fact that, one citizen, Frank Springer of Las Vegas, a scientist of world wide fame, has given $1O, 900 for mural paintings to adorn the great audito- rum which with a roof garden a patio, cloisters, and campaniels Is to be feature of the structure.
