SEWANEE TEAM REACHES CITY FOR BATTLE TODAY;
COACHES OF BOTH ELEVENS EXPECT BITTER STRUGGLE
"SEWANEE EXPECTS HARD
GAME BUT SHOULD WIN"
Harris

"Sewanee expects a hard game
stated Coach Harris Cope when asked
his opinion of today's battle last
night, 'but think we should win. l
do not predict victory Much will
depend upon conditions yet to be de-
termined, but l think that the Tigers
as a team have an edge. Alabama
will meet much different team from
that which faced Tech last Saturday
The men are in better condition after
weeks rest and are determined to
give a good account of themselves
today. The boys have wholesome
respect for the strength of the Grim
son this year, but are confident of
victory"

Odds With Harvard

Much persuasion is necessary to secure
these slight concessions in odds, for Har-
ward, despite her splendid football record
during recent years, has suffered many
and surprising reverses at the hands of
the Tiger. Since the series began way
back In 1877, Princeton has won 13 of the
II games played. For years the Crimson
has not won a game in Princeton, and 1t
is upon this peculiar fact that the Tiger
cohorts are banking, since on the seasons
playing the Cambridge eleven appears
more formidable aggregation than the one
led by Captain Baker.
Judging from the play during the pre-
lminary period of the season, the Har-
ward line Is stronger both on offense
and defense than that of Princeton. The
I1ardwicl and Logan, is q better all
round combination than the Tigers quar-
tct consisting of the two Bakers, Click
and STREET. Princeton has no field goal
kicker of the caliber of Brickley and
'fIobey' Bakers broken field runs should
he duplicated by Eddie Mahan. The line
plunging of STREET. Is not likely to be
cqualled by any of the Harvard trio Of
backs since the Tiger fullback appears
to be of the penetrating type of Hart and
Wendell, and the Crimson has not been
of filing the latters place in this re-
spect.
The probable lineup of the two teams
with the physical statistics of players
follows:

Atlanta. November 5.-Eootbau in

interesting, will stage only few games
that may be regarded as having di-
rect bearing upon the :. l. A. A. cham

The clash between Auburn and Geor-

most important of southern gridiron
battles. Making a slow and discourage

shown decided Improvement which Is
largely attributed to the coaching OF
Lieutenant DeVore. former Army star.
who recently volunteered to assist IN
training the Tech squad. Those who
nave watched the Yellow Jackets of late
say that the defeat last Saturday Of
Sewanee was directly due to DeVore's
work.
Auburn Strong
Auburn, as in years past, is regarded
as one of the strongest eleVens in the
! south. This season tine Alabama squad
has defeated Louisiana State university
and Clemson without suffering the loss
of first strong man and they viii face
| Tech in perfect condition. Auburn won
from Clemson 20 to 0. while Georgia
was able to win last Thursday from the
| Tigers by the close score of S to Il.
| This would appear to indicate that Au

so far displayed by the Red and Black.

HARVARD CRIMSON
ENTER BATTLE WITH
PRINCETON TIGERS
FAV0R|TES TO WIN
Big Eastern Elevens Primed
for Struggle for Gridiron
Supremacy Princeton
i'm ThrOes of Ante
game Enthusiasm.

Princeton, N. j., November THE
first of the triangular series of foot
ball games between Harvard, Yale
and Princeton will be played on Uni
versity field here tomorrow afternoon,
when the elevens of Harvard and
Princeton meet in their annual grid
iron battle.
rms contest, the eighteenth between the
teams of the two institutions since the in
PRODUCTION of intercollegiate football as
a varsity sport, is expected to produce
play of high type. Both elevens are near
ing the climax of their respective seasons
and should display par gridiron form.
The game also possesses possibilities when
considered in connection with the eastern
championship struggle. Harvard faces the
Tigers with a record unmarried by de-
ieat. Princeton, although defeated by
Dartmouth, can still complicate the stu
alton by either tying or defeating the
Crimson.
A Football Classic
These conditions. augmented by the fact
that the game is the final one of the home
season and ranks as one of the football
classics of the year, has created unusual
interest In the lair of the Tiger. Jungle
town, as Princeton is frequently termed
IN song and cheer, is in the throes of
ante-game enthusiasm tonight. The
Orange and Black of .'Old Nassau and
the Crimson of Harvard flutter from hun
dreds of windows, and the wise shopkeep-
er, playing no favorites, has decorated
every available point of vantage under
his Jurisdiction with the colors of the
competing colleges, hoping thereby to reap
financial benefits from home and invad-
ing clans. Classmen and alumni of both
institutions are recording In song and
story the prowess of their teams and in
honor of the occasion Princeton has yelled
her academic solemnity for the coming
"A hours.
In these scenes of celebrating the squads
of players representing the rival univer-
stiles have no part Quartered near the
scene of tomorrow's battle, they are rest
ing in preparation for the call to the
turfed area, where they are soon to match
football skill, tactics and endurance.
Neither coaches nor captains care to fore
dergraduate supporters Of the elevens are
not so conservative. Loyal expression of
opinions lead TO arguments, and contro-
Versy to wagering. and tonight there is
many little envelope tucked away in
townfolk safes. which records the fact
that Harvard adherents are giving slight
odds on the Crimson to triumph over the

The Sporting Forecast

vance should win. is the opinion of
Coach Harris Cope. Both are cor
rect. Sewanee has an edge, so far
as team strength Is concerned;
chances are even when present condi-
tions are considered. 1t will be bat
tie of nerve, a contest of superior
spirit, and victory will rest with the
eleven which, through these superior
assets, deserves to win.
While Birmingham enthusiasts hold
the Sewanee-Alabama battle in the
forefront of gridiron interest, 1t is
probable that the south as a whole
looks rather to the outcome of the
Auburn-Tech struggle. Alabama and
Sewanee will furnish a real exhibi
ton of sport, but little of interest
depends upon the outcome. In At
lanta it is different. One contender
which has hitherto conquered all ri
walls must lower its colors. Upon its
result may rest the S. l. A. A. title.
Both elevens are heavily backed by
their supporters to win, and a battle
royal is expected. Other than to state
that both aggregations are powerful
1t is impossible to get line upon the
relative strength of the two elevens
Both have had comparatively little
trouble III delSduiS al oPPoiiSheo ehuS
far this season. Techs overwhelm-
ing victory over Sewanee has boosted
her stock considerably and many are
picking the Georgia team to win.

FRANK CASE IS
LOSING Interest

Atlanta, Oct 23.-With all the biz

of dramatic public interest that mark
ed the original trial of Leo M. Frank
for the murder of Mary Phagan, the
state and defense are today contend
ing in the motion for new trial.
The state is today centering its
fight on the effort to show that it was
right in introducing the special evil
dence of Conley as to Franks inner
ent immortality, and the judge was
right in admitting it and permitting 1t
to remain a part of the record.
Solicitor Hugh Dorsey is making a
stubborn, unimpassioned fight in the
face of effort after effort on the part
of Luther Rosser to force the young
solicitor to use his temper.
Rosser has attacked Dorsey num-
Der of times in his arguments, while
Dorsey confines himself to the argu-
ment of the questions involved.
The public, so far as can be judged.
is watching the argument problematcal

NEW YORK MINING
 ENGINEER ARRIVES

H. R. Plate, New York mining engineer arrived in Juneau on the Princess Sophia at one o'clock this morning. He is associated with F. P Webb the Juneau mining man and will likely remain here all summer looking the country over.
 This is not Mir. Plates first visit to the north. He was in Nome during the palmy days of 1900. He went to Cobalt when that camp was young and became quite familiar with it's possibilities. Mir. Plate thinks that the fact that Col. Jackling has be. come interested in the Juneau section is having a very good effect in the matter of enticing capital out this way.

RICH 'MINER-LAWYER
 KNOWN HERE

James E. Britt, who convinced a Post-Intelligencer reporter that he cleaned up $6O,OOO in Alaska in three years and was given an interview that was reproduced by The Empire yes terday, is known in Juneau, Ketchi- kan and other Alaska points-but not as the wealthy,yo lawyer-miner that he described himself to be to the Seattle newspaper man. In fact, it has been hinted about Juneau, that he left this town under circumstances that would preclude the probability of return visit being one of an eX- clusively social nature. He told the people here yarns about vast accounts in the Seattle banks, but so far as known no one has ever succeeded in getting coin on a Seattle check from him. He attempted to claim kinship with William Britt, Juneau's popular druggist, William is wise in his day and generation, and said him nay, nay.
 It is not known just how this man reached Ketchikan, but from there and Prince Rupert he worked Capt. Mar tin Rooli, of the halibut schooner Sum- ner up to the point that he though he was giving passage to New York magazine writer when he agreed to take him to Puget Sound and give him a frst.hand intimacy with the hali- but fisheries. Capt. Roof was pleased to lend him $15 ito send telegrams to his New York banker" upon their arrival at Seattle. Later, when the "magazine-writer-lawyer-miner" had exhausted the loan, and confessed that he had been permitting his wits to serve him in getting transportation, Capt. Roof loaned him s1 to pay for a room. The Mcfarland, from whence had issued the P.-I. interview, had unhospitably locked the door on the belongings of the "magazine-writ- er-lawyer-miner.
 It is said that Britt's wits were ex- perienced before he ran across the sturdy Norwegian navigator at Ketchi- kan from much use in Ruby and Fairbanks before he reached the coast on his journnye back to those famil- far Broadway haunts.
