HARVARD CAPTAIN
 HURT IN PRACTICE
But Storer Expects to Line Up Against Princeton in Battle Saturday.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 6-The Harvard squad had it's last strenuous workout for the Princeton game be- hind closed gates yesterday afternoon. All the regulars were in the line-up for the first time in two weeks, with the exception of Trumbul1. It was only a short time before another crfp- pie was added to the hospital list.
 This was no other than Captain Storer. He sustained a bruised leg, which will undoubtedly keep him out of the game until Saturday, but with a certainty of being at end when the Crimson warriors meet the Jungle town aggregation, unless something unforeseen develops.
 Mahan was in his accustomed posi- ton at halfback. getting accustomed. to the plays the Crimson have been practicing, and which he has missed. The team devoted it's time exclu- sively to Tiger formations and plays. The scrub team yesterday consisted of coaches and substitutes, and every thing they know about the Princeton formations was tried on the varsity team for over a half hour
 The back field men on the varsity were then sent out to try out their drop kicking propensities, Brickley booting five over the posts out of seven chances, Mahan making four in the same number of attempts.

 IN BILLIARD GAME
Champion Takes First Honors From Carney in Match to De- eide Title.

Nursing along the end rail of his memory of the not altogether pleas ant recollection of how Benny Allen of Kansas City bereft him of his pocket billiard cham pionship, Alfred De Gro, the Cuban cue wizard, walked into Doyle's Academy, New York, last night determined that Joseph Carney of California should" not snatch the last title in his possession-the three cushion championship. And after De Orc had won the first block of the match by 50 to 37, the onlookers con- ceded that Carney would have to play much better during the remaining two nights if he expected to take the championship West.
 De Orc, while not playing up to his best form, outc1assed Carney last night, and beat him handi1y. The champion excel1ed in fnesse, and would have made a much better score but for the fact that he made a num- Der of eye-1ash misses we'll planned and beautiful executed shots.
 Carney also suffered in this respect, but not to the extent that De Gro did.
 De ORo made the high run of the game. four, which did not arouse the envy of George W. Moore, the official scorer, who ran Is in a match game in Doyle's not so very long ago.

MANY BADLY HURT
 TN FOOTBALL RECENTLY

Football exacted a heavy toll last Saturday in the various games play ed throughout the country, how great no one knows until the full reports have been gathered and tabuIated. Soon after the games in this section of the country, there came the re- port of a broken jaw for Cornish of Yale, a dislocated shoulder for Mo Laugh1in of Colgate, a bruised side for Trumbull of Harvard, and brok- en arm for Rider of Amherst. Last night came more serious reports.
 George Gay of Blackinton ,who was injured in a football game at Phoe- nixvilIe, Pa, between 8 Pottsdam eleven and the Union club, is in such a critical condition that physicians hold out little hope for his recov- cry. In the third period of the game Gay. who was playing fullback, was tackled and thrown heavily, fracturing his spine. Gay was formerly a star on the Ursfnus team He had played on the Union club two seasons, and was coaching the team this year.
 Three dskun fractures, the result of a football game, were found on Will. year old newsboy. Physicians said he had apparently been kicked in the head. The boy who is son of Mrs. Agnes IT. Mccartney. played on a school team Saturday. In the third period he was found injured at the bottom of a scrimmage pile but fin ished the game, and afterwards was on the streets as usual selling papers Then his head began to feel queer, and he collapsed He is not expected to recover.

MATTY POUNDED
 BY CHICAGO TEAM
Texas Crowd Jeers Giants For
 Making Joke of Game.

Ell PaSo, Tex, Nov. 6-Chicago beat New York in a hurrah game here yes terday. The New York division of the world tourists were trimmed 10 to q. A clear day and an aviator who flew over the field during the first inning greeted the players After the fifth in ming both teams loafed along, pulling all kinds of plays for the entertain ment of a crowd which filled Wash ington Park and overflowed the field.
 The aerop1ane was driven on to the field during the first inning by Eugene Wagner Sam Crawford of the SOx climbed in when he volp1aned down and took a ride with him. Mathew son started the battery work for Me Graw's men, but lasted only one in ming. as the Sox got to him for three hits and three runs. Hearne went in to relieve Big Six and pitched a fair game against Jim Scott, who is faV- orite here.
 Afagee played a great game in left field for the Giants. Fred Merkle made two three-baggers. Meyers was in poor condition and he made sew era1 weak throws to second, due to his injured hand. Thorpe made two hits and drew a base on balls in three times up Meyers drew three safe hits, a two-bagger in the ninth SCOT ing two runs for the Giants.
 The day was ideal and the crowd one of the largest ever seen at ball game here. However, the ragged work of the Giants disp1eased the crowd and many times they were urged to play ball and cut out the comedy.

BLUNDERED
 IN LODGING MORRIS

To all appearances Gunboat smith is making the mistake of his career in allowing Jess Willard to take his place against Carl Morris in the next big heavyweight match to be decided in New York Smith has not lacked critics to find fault with him even though he has always been willing to meet all corners and so far with great success He cannot afford to change his system now.
 The sudden collapse of Luther Mo Cartys championship rretentions, fol- lowing his refusal to meet Bombard1er Wells. ought to be a warning to smith. To avoid Morris now would be just as harmful as to meet him and lose. How ever. Dec g. which is the next open date at the Garden, is some time off vet and it may be that Gunboat will help fill 1t after all
 It is one of the stock tricks in ad- vertising a match to create the inn pression that one of the principals fears the other. Perhaps Smith has some such idea in mind. Certainly if the men had been matched immediate ly following their disappointing affair at the Garden they would not have drawn enough to make it worth while. But now that Smith has shown marked diff1dence, whether assumed or real. a return match would be viewed with considerable interest.
 IOf course such tactics verge on the shady and are not to be encoura ged. If the men meet again there will be just as much danger of another dis appointment as there was in the first affair. Instead of a return match the dispute should be settled by the Box ing Commission. The result of the re-

HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE
 DECIDED IN DECEMBER

It looks as if there will be a real battle for the white heavy weight championship during December, the contestants being Arthur PeIkey, the Canadian, and Gunboat Smith, the California heavy weight. The scene of battle will in all probability be Jimmy Coffroth's arena in San Fran cisco. The match, is pending, but from information at hand it will be closed all night. Tommy Burns, who is managing Pelkey, is in Canada at present and is negotiating with Cof- froth regarding the bout. ttPeIkey is the heavy weight champion at pres ent,'' writes Burns. "and the chances are that he will meet Gunboat Smith at Frisco in a title match in Decem- Der. Luther McCarty was recogniz- ed as the white champion before his unfortunate match at Calgary, but the fact that Pe1key won makes him champion without question. Coffroth has been very fair in his dealings with
 me and it is almost certain the match will go through. It will be a real title match, for both boys are recog- nized among the best of the heav- ies. And you can bet I am sure, or at least feel that way, that Pe1key will trim Smith, as he is a big man, weighing 205 pounds in shape and very fast on his feet. He is also as game as they make them. I will bet every dollar I have that Pelkey will beat him, and he will also beat Jack John son if they come together. I would not make the bluff if did not believe that he would make good against either man. I know he will give the fans a surprise when they see him in action Some of the busy onAR on the coast tried to slip something over on ree when I was out west, endeavor- ing to steal Pelkey away from me, but it did not work. I have had offers for Pelkey from abroad, but prefer to have him meet Smith in this country. and if we make good it is time to think of going over to England, France and Australia. We are not side-step- ping any of the heavy weights nor are we trying to avoid MT Johnson. He is one man we would be most pleased to tackle"

Yet the policy an nounced by Capt. Denegre and his rowing committee three weeks ago was that of continuing the Engl1sn stroke for another season.
 The next move in the situation is awaited with keen interest. The row ing committee and navy officials are obviously in an embarrassing situation and fears have been felt in some quar- ters that their resignations would pc submitted
 The silence of the News on the ques- tion since it's broadside of criticism at the existing situation has puzzled most of the undergraduates and has led TO the belief that that newspaper does not intend to push the mattel till actlon IS taken by the officials of the navy
 In the meantime the fall work or the crew is being wound up with the coaching directed along the lines of the English stroke. More than two months rowing has been taken by the crew squad under instruction based upon the English stroke.
 The invitation of the undergraduates, expressed lavishIy through the News, to change tn stroke, engage an expe- rienced professional and place him in charge of the rowing for a term of years, cannot be accepted without an entire overturning of the present sys- tenn. and the task imposed on the var sity oarsmen of learning new stroke

backde1d.
 For the first time during the pres ent week scrimmage was held against the freshmen, who were beaten by two touchdowns to nothing and who were completely out-classed, not be- ing able even to advance with the bal! when it was repeatedly given them. The first touchdown of the varsity was the result of a 25-yard run by Wilson, who received a forward pass on the 15-yard line and ran over with the pigskin. From this time on, old fashioned football prevailed, Knowles taking the ball over for the second time on run around right end.
 Ketcham still played right end and will probably continue there, oppos- ing Captain Storer of Harvard, in two weeks at Cambridge. He is fast in getting down unGer pI4ntA and is surer than the other end possibilities in the matter of forward passes. The backfeld of Ainsworth, Knowles and Dunn will probably take the field this Saturday against Brown, although Knowles is the only one who has his place with certainty.

Yielding to the popular demand liar ward and Princeton football players will wear numbers on their backs in the big game Saturday. For some time the public which supports football has clamored for a chance to identify the players. The average person who at tends two or three games a season has no way of picking out the players When man makes a long run or a fine tackle the spectator likes to know who he is. Hitherto the colleges have objected on the ground that numbers would commercialize the sport. The English polo players who visited this country last summer wore numbers and did not think it destroyed their standing as amateurs. Harvard and Princeton by adopting a popular policy have taken a step in the right direc- ton.
