FAILURE SEASON FOR
 CARLISLE INDIANS
Redskins Are Lost in the New Styi,
 of Play.

Regardless of what the Carlisle In- dians may do during the next three weeks. the present season must rank as one of the greateaE football failures at Carlisle since the Indians attained any prominence as a "big'' eleven. Three games remain on the Carlisle schedule, and from the recent work of the Redskins only one is likely to be added to the winning side of the Indians record. Dickinson has been the most scored upon team of any prominence in the east this season and should be easy for Glenn Warmers team. but the Indians, who would not outplay or score against Holy Cross last Saturday, have httde hope for victory over Notre Dame next Satur day or Brown on Thanksgiving day. A victory over either would upset the dope on relative strength, as figured from last weeks games.
 Memory fails to recall any Carlisle eleven that was such stranger to victory or to opponents goal lines as the Indians of today. Five straight de- feats and one scoreless tie is the record of the Redskins since they scored their last vtctory-against West Virginia Wesleyan on Sept. 26. This victory was by the narrow margin of one touchdown, just as the victory over Lebanon Valley Q week ago be- fore. so those two games fail to add any glory to Carlisle, even though they resulted in victories. The Indians have now played five games without SCOT ing a touchdown, and in their eight games they have crossed the oppo- nents' goal line only three times. Al
 together their record for nine games is six touchdowns for a total of 45 pOinIS-an average of five points per game. In the old days Carlisle scored as many points in any one of their early games as they have scored this season in all nine contests. The op- position has not been so much stronger as might be imagined from this lack of scoring. The attack of the Indians has been so much weaker.
 When the open style of game was first coming into its own the Indians were notable for their ability at the new game. Today, when all the teams are going in strongly for the open style the Redskins are lost.

NEW MEN FOR GIANTS.
Princeton Third Stacker Latest Acqui-
 siEion by MeGraw.

The New York Giants have procured the most costly collection of players that a major league club has drawn in mary a day, through the secret draft B. Foster said Tuesday that, at the regular draft price, the New York club had drawn players whose cost, if pur- chased. would amount to more than $40, 900. The highest price paid for any of them was $2,500.
 The richest prize the Giants drew was Ralph Stroud, the former Detroit pitcher, who was drafted from the Sacramento club. Late last season Manager McGraw wanted to get Stroud to strengthen his pitching staff, but the Coast club wanted $10,000, an offer McGraw turned down. Arthur Kores. the third baseman from Port land, who was one of the hardest hitters on the Coast, is another val uable player. and last season the Portland club refused an offer of 1000 for him. John B. Adams, the catcher drafted from the New Orleans club, is valued at $5.000.
 There are several other players the Giants have landed for whom large sums were offered last season. Among these are Alvah Gipe, a left handed pitcher, from Seattle, Wash. He is a six footer and weighs about 200 pounds. Gipe pitched great ball last season. and Scout Dick Kinsela last year tried to buy him, but the offer was turned down,
 On the recommendation of Bill Clarke, the Princeton baseball coach, the Giants have signed Bob Reed, the Tiger third baseInan. Reed was out of the gams last spring because of a broken ankle, but Clarke says that he is in good shape now and is the best third 6aseZnan that has been at Princeton in many years.
 Manager McGraw promises a real pitching sensation in 2. new Indian picther, named Homer O. Glass Mo Graw discovered him more than a year ago, but was not able to land him because the redman was serving with the United States marines in Washington. D. C. His term of ser vice has expired and he has put his name to a Giant contract.
 Glass was star football and base ball player at Carlisle before he en- listed in the marines. He has been

Scull is another drafted pitcher from Middletown, N. r.. while Fred Cook, right handed pitcher, was obtained from Columbus, Ohio. Another pitching star obtained by Scout Kinsella is Alois Kirmeyer, a pitcher from the Decatur CIll) club.
 This collection of drafted players. together with the players purchased at the end of last season. gives the Giants the biggest squad of players ever carried by major league club. Manager McGraw will take the record collection to Marlin late in February. Some changes are promised in the makeup of the Giants and there will be several new faces on the club when the next season begins.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-The Federal league will be organized on a major league basis and will continue as sucn deal may be made with organized baseball, according to a statement made tonight by President James 4.

Gilmore declared that n member of the organization had any intention of selling out to the detri- .ment of the Federals.
 There will be no deal with organized baseball which calls for the elimina- tion of the Federal league" said Gil- more. Our organization might con sent to the transferring of one or two franchises, but the Federal league in name and in standing must continue ''

The frame of an automobile IS necessary in the general design of the car in order to carry all the parts above the main car springs, such as engine, transmission, body, steering device, etc, as one unit. All parts be- low the main car springs are geneT- ally termed "unsprung weight and 1t would be correct to call all parts above the car springs the sprung weight of the car.
 The automobile frame carries the load of the different parts and is sub jected to stresses from this load and from the load arising due to the uT- evenness of the road over which the car may travel.
 All the blows must be transmitted through this frame. If one wheel drops into d hole, the frame is sub jected to a twist.
 Experience is probably the best teacher as regards the design and ma terial to be used in an automobile frame, as the loading is so varied that it is difficult to figure it out mathe- matically without making so many as sumptions that the results will he questionable.
 Two materials are in general used for pleasure car frameS-thc stamped steel channel section with several cross members framed up in the same way and riveted to the two main frames forming a stiff, rigid unit, or a wood frame, preferably of second growth ash and laminated.
 In the wood frame method but one rigid cross member is used. and that on the rear end of the sill, and then q platform or floor boards are fastened across the top of the still running half way up the length of the frame.
 Entirely different results are ob- tained from the use of the two kinds of frames. The wood frame is dis tinctly flexible. and when one wheel of the car drops into a hole, neither the frame nor the car is racked. The steel sill is distinctly rigid and tends to re- sist any such distortion-
 Another distinction between the re- suits obtained from the two is in shock absorption. Wood is the best known shock absorption material. 1t is used in all such places as hamme 4 handles, vibratory machines, and places where alternating stresses CT sharp vibrations cause severe repe- titive stresses Steel. on the other hand. is one Of the best transmitters of vibration. All blows, single or re- petitive in type. which are given the automobile, are transmitted by the steel frame to the body of the car while ir the case of the wood frame they are to a very large extent ab- sorbed.
 Because the wood frame does not transmit, but rather absorbs vibration and blows, it is not subject to fatigue frame, transmitting vibration and blows, is all the time undergoing repe- titive stresses which in time cause

BULLDOG 10 TO
 FAVoRITE OVER TIGER.
Vale outciasses Princeton in Both Line
 and Backfield.

Already odds of 10 to on Yale to beat Princeton in the Palmer stadium
 next Saturday are on tap. The sharps figure that Hinkey'S team will win by a
 comfortable margin. Those who have seen both teams play believe that Yale will outclass the Tigers both in the backfield and in the rush line. Unless Princeton suddenly improves, Yale'S generalship and aggressiveness will carry the day. Hinkey has developed the passing game to such an extent that it looks as if the Jerseymen will find it impossible to break it up. In attack Yale has shown more spectac- ular plays than any other eastern team. The rush line. however, is a doubtful proposition, and Hinkey will probably experiment with it up to the last mo- ment. The Princeton game will en- able the Yale coach to find out the weak spots so that he can patch them up in time for the clash with Harvard.

PRINCETON VARSITY
 ROLLED UP BIG SCORE
Tigers Had Stiff Scrimmaae with
 Scrubs-Score 21 to O.

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 1.-The Princeton team had its last hard work out this afternoon in the new stadium in preparation for the Yale game next Saturday. The practice was characterized by a splendid spirit among the players, which brought re- suits, the varsity rolling up a score of 21 to 0 against the scrub eleven in a 50 minute scrimmage. There were frequent substitutions in the ranks of the regulars and one of the substi- tutes, Rahill, an end, scored a touch down after intercepting a lateral pass and running for forty yards. The other two tallies were due to the fine tackle and line plays of F. Trenk- mann and Dickernann. Tibbott fea- tured with a 25 yard run.
 There was a noticeable improvement in the team work. and the same reg ulation of keeping the graduate coach es on the sides. which was inaugurated yesterday, was in force again today.

These are days of thrilling adven- lures and experiences for American representatives in Europe" said Har- vey R. Stewart, foreign representa- tive of an American Motor Car Com pany upon his arrival in New York the other day
 The sea is well patroIIed by British cruisers" said MT. Stewart, and our trip over was without incl dent, although there was an atmos- phere of suppressed excitement that kept the passengers keyed up.
 The great war has affected the production of British made automo- piles but slightly, but that fact will have no bearing on the greater Op portunities for American export that struggle. While the factories are run ming overtime there they are produc- ing cars for government service.
 The French factories are all closed, not from want of money, but from lack of labor. Every able bodied man from twenty-one to fifty years of age is at the front. The factory or ganization will be so badly demo-al- ized at the close of the war that it wiil require months, if not years. for plants to return to full production. There should be a big demand for trucks and delivery vans and auto mobiles of low and medium price.
 This fact should give American al makers their opportunity for the cars now in the army will be short lived owing to the fact that factories are not in position to furnish damaged parts. and few cars used by the armies can ever be returned to tEe owners. European countries, with the exception of Great Britain, are and will be at the close of the war prac- ucally without automobiles. There should be therefore, a great market for American cars"
