MORALS OF PLAYERS
 ABOVE APPROACH

Within the last quarter of a century we have had six major league wars, with all of the personal and general demoralization inevitable to war, and with contract-breaking galore, and yet not. one player has been suspected, to say nothing of being charged with; or convicted of, crooked work upon the field; and there are still in harness to- day players and urnpires who were contract-breakers in 1901-02, against whose personal integrity there has never been uttered the slightest breath of suspicion, says Sporting Life.
 The ball player has his faults, due to temperament, rearing, and environ- ment; but in the practice of his pro- fession he is absolutely honest, is all ways eager to win, and, as a rule gives the best there is in him for his c1ub-n fact, elseWise, his fellows would not tolerate him.
 Individually the players compare favorab1y with the nagnates in man nera, morals, and in the exercise of the civic and domestic virtues, hough they may be lacking somewhat in the superficial social graces; while collec- lively, the players compare favorably with any similar body of men in any calling, the percentage of crime, mis- demeanor and immortality among the 500 ball players in active service year after year, being much less.

New York, Nov. M.-Fsordham was forced once mere to bow to Villanova at football yesterday afternoon, the Pennsylvania nosing out the Maroon by a score of ' to 6.

ANNEX WIN FROM CLEES
 IN HOT CAME

New Haven, Nov. 27.-The Wash ington Glees met defeat at the hands of the Annex eleven in their annual football sIzirnlish at Yale field yester- day afternoon. Fourteen to nothing was the Annex's margin of success. There was plenty of action and G1ee club sympathizers had the satisfaction of seeing their team hold an a1l-star cast to a comparatively low score.
 : Contrary to expectations, the game was played before one of the largest crowds in years. Although the offi- cia1 attendance was not announced, a fair estimate could be set at 5000.
 The Annex, under Coach Edd1e Green, the former Pennsylvania star showed themselves to- be good stu= dents of the game. Ghee the Dart mouth star, yesterday proved himself to be just what the experts have said of him.
 His splendid openf1e1d runs aided materially in the Glees' downfall, he standing head and shoulders above. his teammates. His run of 45 yards that paved the way for a touchdown was the 'bests play of the game. Red .Louden, at end; Ostregon. at tackle, and Sullivan, in the back1e1d, did all that was to be expected of them. HThey were all college players. Moshier and Lavery of Bridgeport played well for the Glees.

MILLIKEN
 STAR AGAINST
 YOST PLAYERS
(By wagner.)

egsHs (E5y w aSnef.)
 If Yale wants to beat Harvard next year Coach HinckeY had better keep eye on M1IiIken,5 the Freshman back field star who played with the Yale Second team against the Remington Yosts yesterday. Mil1iken is the fast test proposition seen. around these parts in a long time. As ful1back on the Yale eleven he toreu through the heavy Yost line for big gains and on the defense he was a, kiIljoy to Yost hopes About eight out of every ten tackles were made by Mil1iken. The crowd became aware of Milliken's ability and he was repeatedly cheered for his good plays. Yosts won 13 to o.
 Milliken, who is a Massachusetts boy, played at one time on the Holy Cross eleven. He entered Yale this year and at once made the Freshman team. Against the Harvard Freshmen he made two touchdowns and aided in the Yale victory. Recently he fell behind in his studies and is on proba- ton at present. He is working hard, however, and hopes to regain his standing so he can get on the varsity next year.
 The Yale boys gave the Yosts a busy afternoon and if they had been able to get going in the first part of the game the result might have been different. The team. was made up of Yale sub sfitutes chosen by Std Coe, the assist ant trainer. . Of course they had no team play but individually they were good Conine a Stratford boy, did well at qi1arterback. McNei1, the cen ter, was also star.

CORNELL HAS HARD TASK IN
 BEATING PENN

Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 27.-F'or just five minutes in the third period Pennsy1vania's football team enjoyed the sensation of holding the lead over the Cornell eleven in their twenty sec ond annual meeting at Franklin Field yesterday afternoon. However, Penn sy's triumph was short lived. for the sIthacan attack was not to be denied, and Cornell once more forged to the front before the quarter was over. The Big Red team finally won by A to 12.
 If experts needed any further proof that Charlie Barrett, the Cornell quar- terback was entitled to selection on the All-Eastern team they got it a-pIenty. Barrett played a remark able game and accounted for seven teen points. In the third period he ran fifty-five yards through the entire Pennsylvania team for a touchdown. It was one of the prettiest dashes seen here in many a day. O'Hearn and Shelton, the Cornell ends, also played a fine game. Schu1er, Collyer, and Phillippf did we'll in the backfield. while Cool was a tower of strength at centre.
 Mike Avery, who has risen to near 1y9 every Emergency this season and place in the backfield figured largely in Pennsy1vania's scoring. Shortly after the opening of the third period, when he was sent in for Tucker, he shot a. forward pass to Merritt, who sprawled over the line for a, touch down. Pennsylvania then worked the pigskin to CorneHs 11-yafd mark. Avery made another perfect toss to Rooms, who dashed over the line for the second touchdown,
 The Pennsy stands, which until this time had got no opportunity to let loose, now resounded with the cheers for the Quaker eleven. Having risen from certain defeat to a lead of two points over its old rival, PennsyIya- mia fought all the harder, but Cor nell, too. rallied and again went to the fore when Barrett made his great dash after catching punt on his own 45-yard line.

LANGFORD VICTOR ] IN UPHILL FIGHT

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 27-Asking no quarter and giving none, handi- capped by "a lame ankle and shoul- dering a storm of foul fighting, Sam Langford, the "old black watchman' of the heavyweight division, knocked out Harry Wills in the fourteenth round.
 It was one of the most desperate ring encounters of Langford's long and remarkable career. Twice Sam was knocked down in the very first round. And again in the second he was sent crashing to the canvas. So groggy that he could not locate his own cor ner, Langford then began an uphill fight against a young giant who had every natural advantage, and in the end the veteran outgamed, outgener- alled and outfought his man.
 Two left-hand blows to the chin end ed Wills. Early in the fourteenth Sam caught his. man with a left swing. Wills staggered back. An other left to the jaw and all was over.

GAL DWELL TO MACK MEN FOR
 TWO PLAYERS

New. York, Nov. 27.-The recent visit of President Ban Johnson to Phila- delphia will probably result in a trade Aoe1ween the Yankees and the Athlet- dcs. if the plan suggested by the American leader undertakes. As it is almost certain that Ray Caldwell win return to the ranks of the Yan- kees, an effort will be- made to trade him to Connie Mack's team in trade for Rube Oldring, the veteran out fielder, and Catcher Jack Lapp.
 Although Caldwell f1irted with the ssF'eds'' last season after he left the Yankees. and took advance money, it is known that he did not sign a con- tract with the independent league, all though he promised to play with the Bunalo club of the new league next season. Caldwell has never submit ted to the rules of discipline of the local club, but as he is a valuable pitcher, the American league is anx- 1ous to keep him and put him under Connie Mack's care.
 OIdring is one of the players Mack wants to get rid of in the renovation of the old worlds Champions, along with Bender, Plank. and Coombs. It Is stated that there was a lack of har- mony in the Athletics last season be- tween the young and old players, and Mack has confided to his friends that he would bring about harmony on his club even if he had to get a team of 7aielh school players Mack has no further use for I.app because he wants yollnber men of Schang's type on his club

BIG BAn QUIET FOR
 COACH HAUGHTON

Boston, Nov. 27-A monster compli- mentary banquet for the champion ship Harvard varsity football team and Coach Percy D. Haughton, which all the undergraduates at Cambridge may attend, is being planned by the students, and if the faculty of liar yard sanctions the proposal the tri- bute to the team and it's coaches will take place soon in one of the Boston hotels.
 The Harvard Crimson launched the idea in it's editorial columns, when it urged that a real dinner, which all the students of Harvard might attend be given to the team and coaches this year instead of a smaller banquet like this that ave been rendered win ming Harvard elevens in the past. Tn e record of this years combination, par ticularly against Yale, is such as to Justify a celebration on a higher plane than any that has been given before, it is argued.
 The Harvard Crimson says of Cap tain Charley Brickley's 1914 team :: When atn eleven representing the un- iversity triumphs over Yale by a score so decisive and memorable as 36 to O., it deserves a more public and general tribute than the usual dinner, given by the Harvard club to the players and coaches at which only limited number of guests can be present
 f"The team belongs to the univer- sity, and, a result of it's work at New Haven, the university belongs to the team, so both should celebrate the splendid season and its brilliant fina1e.''
