Big Race Today.
BURMAN IN FAST PRACTICE

Indianapolis. Ind, May 29.--By
negotiating the speedway here today
In 1:42 fiat in the preliminary
trials for the races on Memorial Day
Jack" Tower, driving Mason car
won first honors to date in all the
tests. His average speed was SSis
miles per hour.
Aside from Towers sensational
burst the enthusiasm of the day
centered about the fast practice of
Burman in the Keeton, Guyot in the
Sunbeam, and the clocklke precision
of the Stutz cars in practice. All
three Stutz have qualified and their
practice spins indicate that they arc
in prime condition for the long
grind. Barring accidents the Stutz
team is bound to prove factor in
the race.
Picking the winners at this time
from the probable twenty-nine
starters is like guessing which day
in leap year February will be
hottest. In the streets and in the
hotels one hears all kinds OF con-
ectures, but little betting is being
done. The odds favor the Stutz and
Mercer teams.

bad shape tonight, condition due
to the short time permitted the
Isotta team for tuning UP the cars.

OF seevral cars the preliminary tests
were not concluded today, and
eleven cars must yet go through the
ordeal OF demonstrating speed
capacity of rs miles an hour.
Teddy" Tetzlaff may not drive.
Ills place in the Isotta is likely to
be filled by Hughey Hughes. This
is not certain tonight, but is more
than a conjecture.
Grant, twice winner of the Van
derbilt Cup with an Alec, is likely
to be an important factor in the
race with his Isotta, providing he
gets 1t running up to its known
standard. Grant Is the best judge
of pace in the game, and he indi-
Gates it in practice. His car does
not vary more than fraction of a
second from one-fifty fiat, which Is
an average pace of over eighty-one
miles an hour.
The Case team performed salts
factorily today w. Endicott aver
aged better than eighty-five miles

other case drivers showed well in
practice. The Case team is consist

leffelfinger Rips Up Yale to
Show How 'SS Team Played

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. ID
wo thousand Yale students saw the
ale regulars play a Princeton dunn
" yesterday afternoon and saw the
Utter score once. The dummy" was
)r. BILLY" Bulls team, which he
as coached in the Princeton forma-
ions for nearly a month. The single
touchdown was tailed on a long for
vard pass from Mitchell to Aims
5orth, a forward pass that was COM
,leted In spite of the efforts of the
ale regulars. The Yale team sub
iequently played the second team, on
which,. they scored a touchdown.
During an extended drill in indi-
yidual wor's following the scrimmage,
FUDGE Heffelfinger, of the football
cam of 1883, took off his coat and
vent after the Yale line just TO show
hem what may happen in the Prince
on game Saturday. While Heffel-
niger tore through the line with
apparent ease others of the 1888 team
looked on and laughed. Although
in occasional outing in the Minne-
3ota woods, where he has large in
eerests, is the only training Heifel-
lnger has had since he was gradu-
tied from college, in 1889, not one of
he Yale linemen. not excepting Cap
ain Ketcham, who has twice won
the ll-American place at guard

A slight change was made in the
varsity lineup yesterday. Pendleton

Harvard develops her football stars
this year at a cost Of $1,000 each.
Football, like everything else, has In
creased in cost, and the appearance or
eleven well conditioned, thoroughly
coached players on the field against
Princeton and Yale for the champion
shin will represent an outlay or mere
than S35. 900. Football championships
come high In price, and to retain her
title the Crimson has employed the
best coaches obtainable at fat 5ala-
ries.
The entire coaching staff this season
costs about $4,000, and to this must
be added the heavy expenses OF
eauipping and training big squad OF
players, the hire of special trains and
many other items of cost. 1t Is ng-
ured that each one of the thirty play
ers comprising the present Harvard
SQUAD cost the athletic association
ri 600 for his coaching and training,
and this In q season that lasts only
about nine weeks.
Harvard, with her big outlay of
money. isn't a bit more extravaganza
than other leading colleges. Yale,
Princeton, Cornell, Penn and Dart
mouth annually spend fortunes on
their teams, but the Crimson's list OF
expenses, showing the costliness of
the strenuous gridiron game, is very
interesting.
At the start OF the playing season
more than one hundred youngsters
came out for practise at Cambridge
Every one had to be equipped with
uniforms shoes and Jerseys. Grad
ually the weaker men were weeded
out. and a regular squad of about
| thirty established. At this time the
training table. with it's specially pre-
pared food and private chef, was or
| dered for the thirty fortunate players.
and the cost to Harvard Is reckoned
almost entirely on the money that has
been spent on these youngsters for
their coaching and training that John
| Harvard trusts will be successful In
the two big battles with Princeton
and Yale.
The greatest item of expense, how
ever, is the coaching STAFF. Head
Coach Percy Haughton. chief engi-
neer Of the Crimson machine, draws
down q salary of $500 a year, which
| means about nine weeks of work
hfIaughton's contract under which he
is now employed calls for $4,000 for
/ a term of three years. An additional
sum Of 10000 for the same period has
| been guaranteed by prominent
alumni. which brings his total re-
enumeration to about S. 400 q season.

Tigers Roll Up I7-7 Score
Against Scrubs in Practise

PRINCETON, Nov. 10. - Keene
Fitzpatrick said yesterday that the
tiger football team was in such good
physical condition as to require an
hours scrimmage to keep 1t from
;oing stale by Saturday So the
coaches lined their regulars up in full
game against the Yale" scrub
,leven. The final score was IL to Z
n the varsity's favor.
Click ran the regulars from quar-
erback through signal drill prelim-
nary to scrimmage at even faster
lip than he did Tuesday, to the sat
sfaction of the coaches, who them
ELVES have been surprised at the
ringer displayed by the players dur
ug the week. 1t was commonly
bought that the hard gaff of the
Harvard game would have an effect
IN the eleven lasting several days,
)ut this has been entirely exploded.
s. Baker occupied the much mooted
,osition of right end during most of
he scrimmage, and Gillespie substi-
uted for him toward the end. This
: the only berth on the varsity
hich is still in doubt. There is
trong opinion in Tigertown that
.amberton will have the final call

COSTS HARVARD $1,000 A MAN TO
DEVELOP ITS CHAMPIONSHIP SQUAD

The celebrated coach is on the field
about two and half hours daily for
five days. Roughly estimated, his
daily income from football amounts
to $780, Drawing the scales little
finer, Haughton receives about two
and q half cents every second for
teaching the Harvard players the
proper knack of mauling their oppo-
nents on the gridiron.
Coach Haughton watches each
game from the sidelines. many times
giving orders to his charges, but this
time is not included in the fore
going computations.
approximately, the entire Harvard
coaching staff costs nearly $4,000
year. Leo Leary, first assistant
coach, who drills the ends, pockets
annually the tidy sum of $4,000 for
his labors. The remaining coaches,
Lothrop. Wilmington, Bob Fisher,
Derry Parmenter, Dick Wiggles-
worth. Bob Guild and the other
coaches, who come to Cambridge for
weeks at time during the playing
season, receive moderate sums for
their services.
Paul Wilmington, who is assistant
graduate manager of the Harvard
Athletic Association, Is an amateur
oarsman, and for this reason he does
not receive any income other than his
regular salary for coaching.

Harry M. Palmer, who was allowed
forty points, by the score of 200 to 10
in the second game of the annual
amateur handicap 1872 balk-line bill
lizard tournament, played at Crane
parlors. in South Broad street, last
night. =,
Both players were slightly off form
in their first game of the season,
owing to their oVer-anxiety to DO
their best, which caused several easy
misses. The contest, however, was
interesting from a spectators point
of view, as the competition was close
throughout.
Himmelberger ran up a high run
of "a, the best in the tourney to date,
and came back with runs of II and 3.
His average was 2 2473. Palmer's
high marks were 10, IL and Z, with an
average of 63-72.
The match tonight will bring to-
gether G. w. Burberry, with handi-
cap of thirty points, and c. w Head
ley, whose allowance is also thirty
points. Much interest is being shown
as to this game, as both players are
keen rivals,
