Back to Elementary Football
at Carlisle Indians Practise

CARLISLE, Pa, Oct. THE Car
Isle Indians last evening reversed
to elementary principles in their foot
ball practise, not so much because
Coach Warner did not think that his
men were in fine physical fettle, but
more because he did not want any
backsliding among his veterans and
the boys who have just returned to
school need the hardening processes.
Tackling at topnotch speed was a
feature and considerable time was
devoted to falling on the ball. A few
new plays were added for possible
use in the Cornell or Pittsburgh
games and thorough drill in signals
was given the redskins on the north
gridiron away from the mass of can
didates and spectators.

CORNELIUS MACK
That Is All Athletic Leader
Would Say Before Leaving
Quaker Town.
PHILLY SEATS SOLD OUT

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7.-"We're
right; that's ALL" was the laconic
comment with which Connie Mack,
manager of the Philadelphia Ameri-
can League baseball team, dismissed
those who sought to interview him
as he prepared to leave with the
members of his team for New York
The Athletics manager declined to
tell which battery he has selected to
start the series against the New York
team. Members of the team were
also uncommunicative, but every one
seemed confident of success.
Early in the day Mack said: IT am
confident that the Athletics will be
worlds champions before the week is
out. I expect the series to be close
and hard fought, with the Athletics
on the winning end. l expect to
work Bender, Plank and Shawkey,
but may switch at any moment.
Everything depends upon the pitch
ers themselves. I have no fears for
the rest of the team"
Reserved seats for the games to be
played here were disposed CT before

Coaches Devote Time to
Lectures for West Pointers

WEST POINT. Oct. There was
no gridiron work for the Army squad
yesterday afternoon. instead after
drill the men were taken to the
gymnasium. where the coaches gave
an hours talk and blackboard
demonstration. The Army team
came out of its game with Stevens
in good condition. The coaches are
satisfied with the showing made, but
realize that there are faults which
must be corrected.
Not the least of these is the fumbling
that was evident at times on Satur-
day. Dodgson, Hobbs and Hooker
all had trouble holding the pigskin
when tackled. The line showed up
splendidly, even with McEwan, the
pivotal man, out, Waddell playing a
great game at centre in his place.

Logan, at Quarterback, Makes
Good Impression at Harvard

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 1.-The
weakness at quarterback developed
in the two games played by the
Harvard football team this season
is the principal source of uncertainty
to Crimson coaches. Logan, a sub
stitute of last year and a second
string man of this season, ran the
eleven yesterday and his work i'm
pressed the coaches favorably, some
of them said, after the secret prac-
tise.
The work of the team yesterday
was light. Examination of the men
following the game with Bates on
Saturday showed another of the
Crimson ends to be injured, O'Brien.
"a first-string man, having suffered
an injury to his knee which will keep
him out of the game several days.
Coolidge went to his place.

Penn Faces Loss of Two Star
Veterans in Wilson and Avery

PHILADELPHIA Oct. 1.-THE Uni
versity of Pennsylvania football
team suffered a loss yesterday when
it was announced that Harry Will
son, veteran tackle on the Red and
Blue eleven last year, would not
come out for the team this season.
Wilson is a senior In the medical
school, and, despite the appeals of
Captain Young and Head Coach
Brooke, he has decided not to go in
for athletics this fall, but devote all
his time to his studies.
The Quakers may also lose Avery,
halfback of the varsity eleven, as a
result of an injury to his shoulder,
received in Saturdays game with
Lafayette. DR.. Hancock, trainer of
the team, believing Avery to have a
broken collarbone, had an X-ray pho
tograph taken of the shoulder yester-
day.

may be unable to play against West
fU5rnt on Saturday. He was severely
injured in the Union game last Sat
urday, when his teammates won by
80 to 6 score. Toohey has been the
point about which much of the Rut-
gers offense has been built. On the
defense he is a team in himself.
Rutgers, despite the Ia to 8 defeat
at the hands of Princeton, has been
confidently expecting a victory over
or tie with the Army, but with
Toohey out the chances for holding
the strong cadets seem lessened by
half.

Formation Practise.
YALE CHANGES TACTICS

Secret practise was the order of
The day at Princeton yesterday. The
Tigertown coaches devoted nearly an
hour to drills behind closed gates.
The Yale football colors are working
hard to offset the impression made
by Maine on Saturday. The Bull
dogs failure to swamp its minor
rival was one of the real upsets of
the gridiron season. Harvard is try
ing out several aspirants at quarter
back, Logan appearing the most
promising. Penn suffered a loss
when Wilson. a veteran star tackle,
refused to try for the team. In prac-
tise with the line buclxing machine at
Cornell. the second string men proved
better than the varsity. Only a short
scrimmage was given the middies,
while at West Point the blackboard
psurped the place of the gridiron.
Another Tiger Shift.
PRINCETON, Oct $50 far as
the Tiger varsity was concerned yes
terday was one of rest for them.
The coaches shut the gates to the
public, took the first eleven on the
field and sent. them through forty
five minutes of stiff signal work, but
ulu mOI let them TOUCH the SCrlIH-
mage. The second and third elevens
went through three-quarters of an
hour of scrimmage.
Another shift was recorded in the
varsity makeup, Phillips and Bellin,
the tackles. being taken out of the
Jline-up and given some individual
work against each other at charg-
hing. ED" Shea, who has been out
&2f the game for two weeks, reported
yesterday again and replaced Brown
at right end. Captain Baker took
his place at left half again, while
Semmens returned to centre.

"Horny.Headed Romanry.

How a prominent Missouri farmer
was scratched" by the tillers of the
soil in his race for governor of Mis-
souri,, shortly after the war, is told
by one who was there and knew how
it all happened.
"This man." said the narrator the
other day, was one of the most prom
inent farmers and cattle raisers in
the state. I shall not use his name.
He was running on the 'greenback'
ticket. Some place he had heard the
humble agrculturists referred to as
horny-handed yeomanry.'
"This phrase was just to his liking,
and he thought it would please the
farmers to be referred to as horny
handed yeomanry.' And it might
have done SO had he not somewhat
twisted the appellotion in his attempt
to use it.
"'There are no grander set of men
in this great state of ours he said
at his first big meeting of farmers
than you horny-headed romanry.'
But that was too much for the farm
ers. The candidate was scatched."-

keen delight we took in constituting

fifty scholars, or possibly seventy-five;
and among them was group of eight

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

The country is congratulatlng tie
U. S. Senate for having passed with
the requisite two thirds majority, the
resolution introduced by Senator
Works of Calf, providing that Pres.
idents shall serve for six years, and
forever thereafter be eligible for that
Office. If president Taft had gone
into the White House under such a
law knowing that one term wonld be
all that he could get, the Republican
party would not now be endeavoring
to reunite the scattered fragments
from the wreck of once great organ
isation. There would not have, been
any Taft and Teddy fight. and the
republicans would have nominated
some such man as Hadley of Mo-,
Deneen of Illinois or ex Governor
Charles Hughes of New York, and
would have elected him without doubt.
1t Is very likely that every state in the
union will ratify this amendment to
the Constitution as soon when it is
submitted to them.
