PLAN 1915 LESLEY
CUP MATCHES TO BE
MORE INTERESTING
Representatives at Dinner in
New York Decide to Have
Four Picked Men From
Each State.

There is a possibility that the tristate
matches for the Robert w. Lesley Cup
will be far more interesting another year
IL the plans talked over at the dinner to
the contestants from Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania by the Metropolitan Golf
Association at Baltusrol are put into
effect.
The plan is to have four men selected
from each district preferably those who
have played in past Lesley Cup matches,
in addition to the ten regulars. 1t has
been the custom for the team holding the
cup to lay idle the first day, meeting the
winners on the second day in the de-
cisive match for the trophy. Under the
new plan the four extra men from each
district will form team of their own
and play a sociable match with the cup
holders the first day.

Cridiron News
Football Players Enter Upon
Another Hard Week of
Training in Preparation for
Big Games Next Saturday.
BY EDWARD R. BUSHNELL

Whether or not Pennsylvania will have
a football team OF championship proper
tIons OF one of only mediocre strength
was not disclosed by Saturdays game
against Gettysburg. That 14-O victory was
won by comfortable margin, and pretty
accurately gauges the comparative
strength of the two teams. At the same
time, when We remember the defenseless-
ness OF Gettysburg last year and the
smashing victory which the Quakcrs Won
then by the score of $50. two facts stand
forth with great clearness. One is that
this years Gettysburg team knew more
football than its predecessor ana likewise
that it displayed a better fighting quail
ity. A second fact not to be overlooked
is that this years Quaker team is not
nearly so far advanced in its attacking
power as was the 1913 eleven in its first
game.
Virtually all of the faults evident in the
work Of the Rod and Blue were due to
lack of practice, an entirely new back
field and lack of unity between the back
field and the line, These weaknesses
we're to be expected and won't cause the
coaches undue alarm. In fact, 40
score FOR the first game is much more
desirable than one Of $50 proportions.
Nothing retards the progress of a team
more than overconhdence, and big pre-
Nm.uory scores invariably contribute to
that The Quakers still have plenty of
time to get in shape for their big games,
and the schedule has been so graduated
that each Saturday brings tougher op-
ponent to Franklin Field
Harvard overwhelmed Bates by the
score OF a to 0. and If the Crimson
Veterans had been kept in the game they
could probably have scored nearly 40
points. At is was, nearly three elevens

We note that III another column of this

the second thing.

ANOTHER TOY DOG
SHOW TO BE HELD
BY FANCIERS HERE
For a Very Worthy Cause,
as 1t Is to Be for Benefit of
Red Cross Society, No
vember II.

The Toy Dog Fanciers of America win
hold another show November IA. This
exhibition will be for the benefit of the
Red Cross Society. This event should
draw one of the largest entries in "toys'
that this town has ever seen. A big list
of valuable specials should also help to
draw entries.
1t was decided at a meeting of the fam
oiers to have this shown an open one
for all dogs of the toy variety so, with
oil the other inducements offered to
bring out the exhibitors, an entry list of
at least 200 dogs will likely result.
Judges were also named follows:
M. Dunlevy, Of Meadowbrook, Pa, to
pass on Pomeranians; Mrs. Benjamin II.
Throop, of Scranton, Pa, Maltese tor.
riers; Miss May Henderson. Of New York
city, all toy spaniels ana toy poodlcs;
Miss Stovell, of this city, Peliingese and

the amateur champion of the United

way to treat him would be to leave him
