Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-09-28

The big college football teams got
into action on Saturday. and there
wasn't a surprise on the gridiron
All the big boys won and their op-
ponents failed to score. Tho Prince
ton-Rutgers game was the best Of
the lot. and il required much effort
on the part of the Tigers to over
come the little fellows by a II to o
score. Princeton, however. showed
some interesting football, and she
gives promise of being heard from
in no uncertain way this season. She
has perfected the forward pass and
she is playing the wide-open game,
and she is a most proficient student
from all appearances. 1t looks as if
Princeton will ask odds of no one
this year.
Harvard is still the same formid-
able eleven as last year, and it. viii
be the Crimson team that Princeton
and Yale will have to beat. Her vic
tory over Bates was well done, and
she is sticking to the old style method
of play. This will be interesting
when the clash comes with Princeton
and with Yale, both of which are
playing open football. Harvard is
believer OF the kicking game and the
rushing game, and 1t will be worth
the while to follow her closely. 1t
may be that she will be able to beat
the open game of Princeton and Yale,
and if so, then the forward pass will
have to be dropped for the Crimson
style of play.

Willie Hoppe, the worlds champion,
hasn't any fear of the outcome of his
6, O0O-point match with Melbourne In
man, the English billiard expert
Hoppe is playing better today than
at any time in his career and he feels
confident of success. The match is
wide interest and will be
played in three serles-one in Canada,
one in Chicago and one in New York
The New York series opens tonight,
and Hoppe is naturally the favorite

The International League season is
over and everybody seems to be glad
Of it. The Newark fans are particu-
larly happy, for they were given
shabby treatment this year. Next
season things may be different, and
they will have to be different. If the
Feds come into the fold Charley Eb-
bets will do well TO sell his interests
here. His Brooklyn methods will not
be tolerated any more II the Feds
are to remain outside the fold they
could do worse than place a team in
this city. There are thousands OF
fans around here who would
support any kind of ball team, but
there are more thousands who would
go the limit to support ball team
that didn't have any Brooklyn strings
to 1t. s

The American League pennant has
been decided and the Athletics are
the winners. They will now have
their troubles in the worlds series
with the Boston Braves. AS far as
popularity goes, George Stallings will
be big favorite, but the Mackmen
will have the call in the betting. The
odds are now to 5, and it is surpris-
ing the following that Boston has.
The Athletics appear to be the goods, !
but they will have to beat the Braves
before some of the fans will believe it.

Champion Kramer showed us a new
one yesterday, and he beat Alfred
Goullet in hollow fashion. Kramer in
,identally figures that as far as speed
goes, Goullet is about as good as he
Is, so ii behooved the champion to
overcome his opponent in another
way Kramer did it. Instead OF using |
