BY WILLIAM PEET,

The biggest football day Of the season
is scheduled for this afternoon, when
the gridircn championship of the East
may be decided.
Georgetown. printing for Virginia,
meets a so-called weak team in Wesleyan,
w. Va: Catholic University tackles Villa
Nova, and NJ. A. c. plays its old rival,
st. Johns.
Local interest will equally be centered
on the gridiron in Philadelphia and
Princeton, where four of the leading
college teams in the country clash.
Harvard and Princeton meet in Prince
ton, and Dartmouth and Pennsy lock
horns in the Quaker City. If the Tigers
beat Harvard and Penn slips a defeat
to Dartmouth, the football situation in
the East, as regards deciding a football
championship. VIII be in fine muddle.
Buth games promise much in the way
of football OF course, it is but natural
that the majority Of interest should CEN
ter in the clash between the Crimson and
the Orange and Black, for if there is any
Eastern team which has a chance to take
Harvard's measure, Princeton is that
eleven.
Harvard and Dartmouth have been
working along the same lines thus far,
neither team has been defeated, and IL
would be grand mix-up If both should
happen TO pump INTO an overthrow.
Yale meets Brown in New Haven. and
after what happened last Saturday the
bull dog is slated to come back, and
should be strong enough TO return a win
neE.
At Annapolis, the Navy meets BucknelI.
the only team which holds a win over
the University of Pittsburgh, the last
named credited with 4 drawn battle
against the Middies early in the season
BuckneH had little trouble beating the
Navy last season, and the Pennsylvan-
iaus are said TO be unusually strong this
year. Many Washington fans plan to
take the trip to Annapolis to witness this
game.
The Ardmore Boxing Club officials an
nounced last night that Tommy Lowe
and Young Britt would be the main at
traction on Thanksgiving night. with sew
eral classy preliminaries
1t Is understood that this club will hold
a meeting previous to the Thanksgiving
card, but the Lowe-Britt scrap should
be well worth the price OF admission.
Players of the so-caIled Giants and
White Sox teams, which are making the
trip about the world. do not have the
opportunity for umpire-berating which
s4IS -oAo anu BAOOdOlg pldyeTS l0efn-
selves considered would be theirs Just
because the regular baseball seasons
are over. When the teams played at
Marlin, the Giants training quarters,
Young Buck" Weaver considered that
Arbiter KLEIN was making his decisions
with an eye to the popularity of the
Giants at this town.
Rushing at KLEIN, Weaver confided his
belief. Klein Immediately followed
Weaver as the latter started back to
his position and informed him that un-
less he choked of his talk and stopped
trying 20 impersonate an umpire batter,
he would be put out of the game for
the balance Of the trip.
Weaver told his fellow-players Of this
when he returned to the bench and a
little laugh started at Klem's expense.
1t didn't thrive into a hearty laugh,
however, for Callahan promptly in
formed the players that KLEIN could
make good his threat if he liked, by
wiring the National Commission, which |
could suspend any player making the !
trip.
