After the-reversals Yale and Har- yard received on the gridiron Satur- day the football situation is more of a scramble than ever. F ale was very confident of downing Washington & Jefferson as a result of the previous victory over Notre Dame. Those who saw the game realize though, that Yale had no excuse to offer for the team was clearly outplayed by the speedy eleven from Wash1ngtons Pa
 Nothing finer has been seen at Tale field in years than the work of the Washington Jefferson ha1fbacks SpiegeI and Fleming. Spiegel is Sre- noSEned as a sprinter, quality which heSexhi bited to good advantage when he circled the Yale ends. He aI- ways got a quick start and the way he squirn1ed and twisted through the Yale defense was a treat to everybody but the partisans of Hi.
 F1erning, while not, such 3 showy player. was very effective. He was particularly good on defense. He al- so saved the day fore11is college when heEcaug9t a forward pass at the ex- treme corner of the field in the last period and stepped over the line for a touchdown. Some of his companions were so overcome with delight that they kissed Fleming.
 The Yale team appeared to be at q loss when it's Rugby passing failed to work The forward passes also went wrong and the game showed that the eleven has been depending too much upon, this style of play. Neither Le- Gore nor Knowles played up to form in thesback field but Wilson was good while he was in the pastime.
 Harvard showed it's fighting quali- ties by getting 8 tie with Penn Stats after the minor co1Iegfans lede by. i 8 to until three minutes of the end of the game. The Crimson uncovered a trick play which resulted in a 45 yard run and g, touchdown. Harvard used not feel discouraged at the result. Neither Mahan, sPennock, Logan, Trumbu11 nor Hardwick were in the battle therefore it is difficult to get line on the real strength of the Crimson.
 By defeating Dartmouth, Princeton indicated that it still has the habit of playing a. fine defensive game and taking advantage of the enemy's mis- takes. Two Dartmouth fumb1es were responsible for Princeton touch downs, proving that follow the ba1l'' is still the cry with the Tigers.
 Syracuse surprised everybody by giving Michigan a severe trouncing. Coach Yost Of Michigan is, said to have predicted defeat previous to the game Michigan looked very weak on defense and did not carry the ball near enough to the Syracuse goal to give it's dropkfcker. splawn, a chance to shine.
 Pennsylvania gave it's followers re- newed hope by beating Carlisle to O.. Other teams have beaten the Indians

MINOR LEAGUES READY TO
 FLOP TO FEDERAL OUTLAWS
Southern Association and Four Others Will Go Unless Peace Is
 Made

Kavanaugh's circuit is ready to flop to the Feds. tn fact, it is said that Gilmore has for the last two months held an option on an agreement with the Southern association whereby that league would become the big farm of the Feds. Gilmore and his associates are awaiting the issue of their scrap with O. B. before clinching the bar gain, which would entail an expendi- ture of at least $200,ooO.
 The Pacific Coast league got its pro motion through a threat to leave the ranks Of Organized Baseball, and now the Southern association holds the whip hand even stronger. And 1t might be mentioned that the Pacific Coast men are right on the fence too. There has been open talk of dissension in the ranks and a willingness to htarken to the Federal siren and it's attendant shekels.
 As for the Northwestern league, 1t has been known for some time that Fielder Jones, who was it's president until he resigned lately to take hold of the St. Louis Federal club, put that organization into the Fed side of the baseball war array long ago.

 President O'Rourke of the Eastern association said there was nothing to the wild report from New Haven that the New Britain franchise would be transferred to Lighthouse Point. This would require the unanimous consent of the league clubs and as New Haven is opposed to having another club within it's territory there is no chance of such a transfer" said the presi- dent. 2

CLAIM RUSSELL FORD
 HAS GORKsCREW CURVE

Russell Ford, pitcher of the Buffalo Feds, has conquered all the laws of physics, according to John M. Ward.
 oFNord has corkscrew curve said Mir Ward T know, because I've seen it. The ball as he delivers it. by this new method takes not one but six or seven distinct curves before it reaches the plate. Ford worked on this ball for months before he perfected it. He can control it pretty well now. but the chief difficulty is to find a man to catch this puzzHng delivery.
 s"The corkscrew curve Is a. splitter and is pitched without any spin what soever F'ord's theory is that the seams of the ball give it the curve from side to side Ford has used the corkscrew in just one game, and then he allowed his opponents just five hits in 15 innings

 The other bat is five inches shorter. It is much thicker, and is taped for the whole length of the handle. This bat Is not labelled, but 1t belonged to Walter MaranviIlea It was this stick which drove out those timely singles which twice figured in the defeat of the Athletics.

.REM-YOSTS
 HARD PRESSED
 BY HUMPHREYS
Bty Wiagner.)

The Rer1ingt gton- YOsts will never win the state football title unless they show better form than in yesterdays game against the Humphreys of New Haven. The locals were clearly out played in Che first period and although they braced in the second half they did not emerge from the contest with any great amount of glory. The Hum phreys, although a lighter team, had better attack and were also strong on the defense
 The visitors opened up a line Of for ward passes and trick plays that fooled the Yosts completely at times. The Yost secondary defense was par ticu1arly weak in blocking passes. Ir stopping efforts to pierce the line the local boys were generally good. Capt. Mccormack and Abbott were particu- l lar1y strong at this and when Ffanae gan was put into the game he gave | evidence Of his usual skill at breaking up plays.
 It was on the attack that the Yosts look weak. They had no offense swor- thy Of the name. They made few tspasmodic advances and just before the close of the game were going well but on the whole this department look ed lamentably weak.
 Every game shows more clearly what strength Eddie Reilly gave to the | team Without him at quarterback there is no life to the boys. F. Casey was not a success at quarterback in the first haM but Larkin did much bet ter in the second.
 Silva had an off day at end. He was frequently circled on fake kick plays. Fitzpatrick did better on the other end. Seeley could not produce much speed probably because of several weeks ab- i sence from the game. The best gains were made. by Capt. Mccormack and Flick. In the early part of the game the Yosts, made their old mistake of trying to run with the ball when deep | in their own territory. This only wore out the men and gained nothing. The Humphreys had several good chances to score. Tn the first half they advanced the ball by forward passes and end runs to within five yards of the goal line where they were i held for downs.

0AkLANDS. IN TIE
 WITH WILLIAMS

The OakIands and Williams A. c. battIed to 9 scoreless. tie yesterday afternoon at NeWaelds Park before 700 rabid football fans. The teams were evenly matched but the visitors out played the locals in the first half by a big margin. This may be attributed to the absence of Capt Kuba, the star ful1back Of the Oaklands; who was out of the game in the first half on ac- count of recent illness. Griffin was the real hero for the locals. Were it not for his spectacular playing and breaking up formation. plays the Williams would have piled UP a large score: He broke tflro1i gh lfe line re- peatedIy and threw his opponents back. for big losses. w.. Hickey played marred the waoe contest by his con tinua1 kicking and at times wanted to resort to hstic encounters.
 The Williams gave one of the pret- tiest. and most brilliant exhibitions of formation plays ever witnessed on the local gridiron. The work of Reilly at fullback. especially his bunting, some of his spIrals going for 50 yards and Gainor at quarterback for the visitors deserve special mention.
 Fl. Delorme who replaced J. De- 1orme in the last quarter tore off a few long end runs at times lodging half the Williams aggregation. Will Hams, the former Holy Cross star guard for the locals in the first half and showed up very well. Kuba play second half making some long end runs The line up of both teams:
