DEATH OF w. H. ELLIOTT

We were all inexpress;bly shocked
to hear that "Gramp" Elliott had
quietly passed away at $50 A. M,
Monday, at the home of his daugh-
ter-in-law. Mrs. Mary Elliott. He
had been confined to his room about
week and seemed. ON Saturday and
Sunday, to be gaining. A sudden
turn for the worse Sunday night
resulted in his death as above stated.
Funeral services were held at the
home of Mrs. Elliott. Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock, conducted by the
G,and Army Of the Republic and by
Rev. Horton. MIR. Elliott was an
old s.,ttler here and a man of wide
acquaintance and will be much miss
ed by all
A full account of his life will be

TOMMY MURPHY WINS
 FROM PHIL BLOOM


 Tommy Murphy beat Phil Bloom in their ten-round engagement in the Postman A C. in Brooklyn last night, but Tornu1y will not go around brag- zing about the victory. He had all he could do to score the decision by the smallest kind of 8 margin, and it was very apparent that his recent encoun- ter with Packey Mcfarland in no way improved the aggressive qualities Of Jim Buckleys lightweight. N
 In the first stages of the bout Mur- 71hy absolutely failed to shine and had to take the gaff from the youngster. who hit the cleaner blows and beat the veteran to the punch. Not until the fifth round did Tommy get going, and therefore until the tenth he held the upper hand, but never by more than a shade At the end Bloom was avery bit as fresh as his opponent, and in the final session Tommy was held to an even break Murphy weigh ed 13ss4 pounds and Bloom 13s.
 Despite his greater experience, Mur- .pzny failed to show the ring general ship one would look for from "a boxer who has been fighting before the pub lie for the last ten years. It was not until the seventh session that he ar rived at the conclusion that he could not beat Bloom through his favorite method of working for the head and using the short inside upper cut that has ever been Tommy's chief stock in trade

WILSON TO PLAY
 AT QUARTERBACK
Nate Wheeler Will Be First Substitute Against Brown
 Eleven.


 The continuance of Alec Wilson as quarterback of the Yale team now seems positive, at least until after the Brown game. At Yale field yesterday afternoon he again displayed his abil- ity to run the team fast and sure. Wheeler, however, is being retained as the first substitute for this posi- tion. Dunn continued to play full back in place of Wilson. Until re- gently he was not eligible, but now he is considered a first string man, having had probably more experi- ence on in the game than any other man tn tine team with the single ex- ceptiop of Captain Ketchum.
 The varsity made two touch downs against the scrubs in fifteen minutes The first was made when Knowles, after the ball had been brought down Ketcham kicked the goal. The second score was secured by a long line plunge by Dunn.
 Over twenty coaches were at the field, among whom were Carl Fland- CTS. Clint Roraback, W. H. Corbin, B. Chamberlin, Guy Hutchinson, Frank Hlnkey and Des Bull
 The Brown team, which the Ellis meet this Saturday, has been put through a gruelling drill all week and there has seldom been more hope on ssthe HIP that Yale would be defeat ed in their annual contest. The de- feat of the Bulldog at the hands of Colgate last week has encouraged the Brown rooters and about 200 of the college will march into New Haven tomorrow with confidence as to a fav- orable outcome.

 Gene McCann has a hard life. The New London manager has received a cablegram from Owner Plant order ing him to represent the Planters at the minor league convention in Columbus, O., next week. That means Gene will travel at the expense of his million aIre boss. It's a nice trip at this time of year. President O'Rourfxe, who goes to represent the Eastern association, will leave Monday and McCann may go on the same train. Great prepara- lions have been made for the enter tainment of the visitors.

ONLY FIVE TEAMS
 IN AMERICAN POLO
 LEAGUE AT START


 Springfield, Nov. With very little chance for a successful season by vir- tue of the fact that it is impossible to place roller polo clubs in New burgh and Poughkeepsie, the Ameri- can Roller Polo League after an all- day session at the Cooley House de- cided to go ahead with a 6ve-club cir cult and take their chances, though they gave out that they were sanguine of two teams <and the uncertainty of finding another city immediately to give them at least s1x-c1ub league
 The polo magnates went into session early in the afternoon and it was Il o'clock last night before they adjourn ed the meeting and announced their intention of continuing the project. It appeared as if they were unwilling to admit that there was a possible chance that they were beaten and that the interest in polo in New York states had died out, though everything indicated tf1at-on the surface.
 The. five teams to start the league next Monday night are Albany, Schen- ectadys Providence, Fall River and New Bedford. It was asserted that there are two applications for a sixth franchise in the league, but the meet ing would not announce the names of the cities seeking to join. It was said that they still had hopes of entering Worcester with a club, despite the fact that one hall demanded $500 cash down for one months rental and the other hall they feared to take because of a labor union ban upon it. The game had to be abandoned as far as New burgh and Poughkeepsie were concern ed as it was, impossible to secure a hall in either place in which to play.

The manager of the All-Waterbury team which will oppose the Reming- ton-Posts at Yost field Sunday, sends the Farmer sporting department the following information about the Brass City squad:
 strongest lineup possible for the game with the Yost team for they realize what they are up against. The lineup will include mostly ex-college stars such as Jimmy Noonan at half back who has had the coaching of Mike Thompson while playing with Washington college and with the East ern college of Manassas, Virginia.
 Walter Legge will be remembered as one of the stars of Villanova and gained considerable Knowledge of the game from Fred Crolius. Mccormick of the Yost team was also a member of the same team. Legge also played

ALL-STAR CARLISLE
 TEAM SELECTED HERE

Carlisle. Pa. Nov. Es-As a football innovation the all time selections made 5v competent authorities are becoming popular and vrtthai interesting Coach Glenn g. Warner Of the Carlisle Indian School having been asked to name an all time Carlisle team made the fol- lowing selections: Ends. Albert 4stxen- dine. Edward Rodgerss tackles, Martin Wheelock, Emil Wausekas guards. Be- znfs Pierce, Charles Dillon; centre Will liam Carlow; Quarterbacks Jas John son; halfbacks. James Thorpe, Joseph Guyon. frllback, Peter Houser-
 A local authority on football hearing the selection gave the opinion that such an eleven could probably not only walk away with any football team mat ever played but was stronger by far than any all time selection from any ether college
 Warner hesitatAd much in making the selection and said that there were many other fine Indian players who could give his selections a close chase. Tn estimating qualifications Warner gave preference to uniform heady play.

HARVARD HOPEFUL
 OF WINNING GAME.
Big Mass Meeting Cheers Grim son Team Leaving For
 Princeton.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 7-The liar yard squad had it's last workout yes terday before the Princeton game on Saturday.
 Bradlee and Mahan both practiced in the back field. It is likely. that Mahan will start the game, to be re- go well with him. He has regained his health and strength since leaving the indrmary and ought to come through all right. If he is right he will be great help to the Crimson in every department of the game.
 Trumbull will undoubtedly be kept out of the game and Soucy will start in his place. The latter is a good man and has improved wonderfully during the last two weeks. In case Soucy is hurt, Captain Storer will be shifted to centre and Hardwick to end
 The team as a whole is full of fight and determined to defeat Princeton, a stunt which Harvard has not been able to do at Tigertown. It will be a desperate battle and the Harvard team will stick to the end, whether it is winning or losing. That much is ab- so1utely sure
 The whole squad left Friday for New York. leaving for Princeton next morning.
 A rousing mass meeting was held in the Harvard Union to give the team a sendom. The speakers were Presi- dent Lowell, of Harvard; ex-Captain Fisher, '72, and Captain Storer of the team The fellows who are to play against the. Tigers Saturday were on the platform and were wildly receiv- ed. Songs and cheers were practiced for Saturday by the enthusiastic un- dergraduates who damned the hall to overf1owing.
