I'm the World of Sport

first Saturday in November would be
the date.
This invasion promised by Michi-
gan will mean a test Of conference
strength in its own stronghold, and it
will mean hat the Big Nine will be
forced to look to it's ammunition if it
expects to combat the visiting forcces.
This will bring more weight to bear
upon the outside colleges knocking for
admission and will be one of the more,
important questions discussed by the
faculty representatives Of the Big
Nine in their annual meeting Satur,
day night. {
Two Schools Want In.
The University of Nebraska and,
Notre Dame university are each seek
ing a berth in the conference and rep
resentatives Of these institutions will
be at the meeting. Nebraska and No,
ire Dame are strong c~ontenders in ev-,
cry line of sport, particularly SO ON
the grtdiron, n there are many who
are championing their cause. The
University of Missouri and Marquette
university alumni are quietly testing
the possibility of their schools being,
linked with the conference and repre-
sentatives Of these institutions also
are expected al the meeting.
Missouri a been one of the
strongest c~ontenders on the cinder'
path. in the west for several years. In
1911 the Missouri team took down first
honors in the Big Nine track meet
and in other years the "show me-,
athletes have had to be reckoned with,
at all stages. Missouri now belongs,
to the Missouri valley conference.

Thu Monkev's Limitations,

The recent death Of George Mans
bridge, head keeper Of the apes and
monkeys at the London zoo, has led to
the publication Of his views regarding
our nearest animal kin-obviously the
views of an expert, Is he had spent
thirty-four years with the zoo O
keys. Mansbridge was more or less
we'll known to scientists through his
association with the late Professor
Romanes during the iatter's efforts to
get some new light on the mental
equipment Of the apes. They succeeded
in teaching one of Mansbridges charges
to count UP to five, without the use Of
any trick. sign. They also educated
the same animal so that h could tell
the difference between white and any
other color, but beyond this distinction
her color sense did not go. Mans
bridge taught his apes many simple
tricks. One of the most striking Of
these was the feeding Of one orang by
another. Although these animals r
very greedy, one Of them when handed
a cup of milk and a spoon, and told to
feed his sister, would do so until the
keeper gave him permission to help
himself. Mansbridge a unusually
successful in handling his monkeys,
and could do very much as he liked
with the younger ones. He believed,
however, that as they grew older their
nature changed and they became
treacherous and dangerous. He had
comparatively little control of his
grown-up apes, and admitted his fear
of the two large orangs in the zoo.

WOLVERINES WANT
Big EASTERN GAME

Ann Arbor, . Mich, Dec. 5.-That
Michtgan's athletic authorities Will
make a determined effort to stage
games in 1914 with one or two of the
big eastern football teams not hither-
to opponents of the Wolverines, is the
sentiment expressed on the Ann Arbor
campus since the return of Athletic
Director p. G. Bartelme from the east,
where he is known to have held infor-
NAL conferences with the officials of
several of the eastern schools. Bartelme
has as yet refused to make any posi-
tive statement as to what are his in
tentions, stating merely that the &
tiations has as yet reached no adj
Vanced stage
Michigan will have room for two
games with eastern universities next
fall, If suitable arrangements can be
made. Dartmouth is considered by the
student body as the most desirable OPP
ponent for the Wolverines.
Carlisle and Penn-State have also
been prominently mentioned as posi-
b~ilities, while in some quarters it has
been reported that the Army might
meet the Wolverines at West Point.
The friendly attitude of the Army ath-
letic officials toward Coach Yost has
given added color to these reports.

PENNSYLVANIA IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Dec. 5.-What is termed
the most successful football season of
the western intercollegiate conference
from the standpoint of the brand of
game displayed and also financially,
has proved a great attraction to OUT
side universities and now the Big
Nine has the chance of a century, says
a local university booster, to put oYer
a master stroke, take in several instr
buttons that are clamoring for en-
trance and get complete control Of
collegiate athletics in the central west!
AT present there are four leading uni-
versities that are willing to abide by
the stringent rules Of the conference
and are seeking admittance. ,
That the Big Nine will need more
power is certain, for reports from
Michigan have it that the Wolverines
since refusing to ask for another
pchance, are determined to begin war
and to fire the first gun next season..
by playing n of their biggest games
in Chicago. Although no publicity has
been given to such plans as yet, alum-,
nj of Michigan here have made it

The Hartford and Island baseball
teams played at the local ball park
last Saturday and the game resulted
in score OF 10 3 in favor of the
Hartford boys. II was a shut-out
game until the last inning, when
the visiting team scored their three
points.
Richard, pitching for Hartford,
was in great form and struck out 1
men during the contest. The Is
land boys couldn't locate his balls.
Thorpe, the home catcher, also was
in fine fettle. He made several
splendid and telling throws to sec
ond base.
Messrs. Lloyd and Lloyd, brothers.
pitcher and catcher for the visiting
team, did good work, but our home
boys met them at every point. They
finally took their fast pitcher out
of the box and put in Mr.. Shack
lett, but this did not materially
change the trend OF the game to-
wards final defeat. The Island
boys were pretty fair batters, but
made some very wild throws, and
seemed not to know what to do with
the ball at times when it hit the
ground.
The Hartford boys babe only two
errors in the whole game and ev-
cry fellow seemed to be in the prop
er place for the most effective work.
1t was fine game and highly en-
joyed by the large crowd present.
The lineup was as follows:

There seems TO be misunder-
standing between the Police Judge
and the City Council of Hartford in

is attached TO most OF the INSIDE

II is customary when a man is con-
victed and gets sentence OF fine
and Imprisonment TO have work"
clause attached TO his sentence,
which means that he is to be put

Dor.
A case Of this character came up
here Saturday which has caused
considerable comment. Two young
