Just then a number of policemen

CHAPTER III.
A Vital Shock For Reginald.


THE home in which Allan Rut-
ledge lived was in an impos-
ing building in one of the best
residential districts In Bron-
son. Reginald rang the bell and was
greeted by the minister himself, who
was evidently awaiting him. and who
warmly welcomed him.
"This Is my young son, Abraham"
said the minister, introducing Regi-
maid to young boy of about three
years Of age. HE is a little fellow,
but he is called after a great man. He
is a namesake Of Abraham Lincoln"
Reginald noticed Allan Rntledge re.
garding his little son with tear moist
ened eyes.
"My hope and prayer for my boy"
he said earnestly in answer to the
others look, ''is that he will be worthy
to bear the name of Abraham Lin

HE will be a noble man assuredly If
he acquires a character like the noble
Lincoln" responded Reginald, becom-

They were interrupted by lady en-

REMOVED FROM
 CHAMPIONSHIP HoNORS.
Syracuse Broke Up an Otherwise
 Most Splendid Record.

While the defeat of Princeton had no bearing on the struggle for the so- called eastern championships the over throw of Colgate by Syracuse remoV- ed a most important contender and left the field occupied solely by Cor nell and Pittsburg. The victory of the Orange by such a one sided score was a big surprise Colgate had a splen- did record up to Saturday, and while Syracuse was admitted to be a team of unusual power and ability, close or even a no-score tie was generally looked for.
 By winning from the strong Wash ington and Lee eleven, which had not lost a game in two years.Corncll dem onstrated that its rise to the topmost pinnacle of gridiron fame is based on the firmest kind of all around foot ball ability. When the Ithaca com bination awoke to find itself slipping behind, 1t uncovered a brand of all most irresistible football, in which a perfect attack and defense. ided by several long runs, carried Cornell away from her plucky rival.
 The victory of Harvard over Brown furnished no further line on the Grim sons chances against Yale, since first string substitutes were used almost exclusively. Coach Haughton and sev- eral of the leading varsity players did scout duty at the e-Princeton game and only two regulars were in

PRINCETON MUST PLAY
 SOCCER GAMES AGAIN
In Order to Claim Championship
 Played Ineligible Men.

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 19.-Because three men, ineligible, according to Princeton rules, played against liar ward and Cornell, the Princeton SOC cer team will not be allowed to claim the championship until these two games are re-played. Announcement to this effect was made here today by Dean McClenehan, chairman of the faculty committee on sports. Let ters have been sent to Harvard and Codneu asking them to re-pIay the games. Cornell fixed November 29.
 Princeton won both games and then, with the three ineligibles out, tied Yale. and defeated Columbia, this giving her a chance for the champion ship. The three men were Bird, liar ris and Ross, all forwards. The cause or their ineligibility was scholastic. They were not removed at the start or the season because the manager of the team was ignorant of the rule that requires him to submit a list of his candidates to the faculty committee.

RULKELEY HIGH PLAYS
 AT ACADEMY TODAY.
Both Teams Confident of Victory-N.
 E. A. Will Use New Formations.

If the weatherman permits, the zenith of eastern Connecticut high school football will be reached this af- ternoon, when the Bulkeley High school of New London and the Nor wich Free Academy of this city clash on the campus. These two teams have long been keen rivals both on the gridiron and diamond, and once before this season they met at New London and the Academy emerged unscarred with a clean-cut victory dangling at their sides. but today's struggle, ac- cording to driftings from down the an- cient Thames, state that a complete reversal of things will take place.
 In contradiction of the Whalers' boasts. it is claimed here that the New Londoners may consider themselves lucky if they reach striking distance for a field goal over the Red and White crossbars, as Coach Overbagh, awake to the occasion, has equipped his men with new formations that are both deceptive and effective when worked right.

JACK DILLON PICKED
 AS HEAVYWEIGHT CONTENDER
Regarded by Critics As One of the Most Formidable Fighting Ma chimes.


 In figuring out who the logical con- championship battle with Jess Will lard happens to be at this time, one of the leading sport writers of the country picks Jack Dillon as the man,
 cently defeated Jim Coffey Says this authority on the boxing game:
 = The furor occasioned by Frank Mo-
 rams victory over Jim Coffey has
 abated, and the boxing enthusiasts,
 who in the beginning proclaimed the
 Pittsburgh warrior the logical candi-
 date for match with Jess Willard
 are wondering if some one has not
 been overlooked in the excitement.

 the best men in his classes with uni

 To-day Dillon is regarded by critics
 as one of the most formidable fighting

 lows. Willard whipped Johnson, and

New York, Nov. 19-While the Har- vard-Yale contest overShadoWs all other football games to be played on eastern gridirons tomorrow, there are several other struggles which VIII VI have an important bearing upon the final alignment of the elevens for the season of 1915. General, interest will be focused upon the outcome of the annual meeting of the Blue and Grim son, but the Dartmouth Syracuse, and the contests in which the. service teams compete will all be followed with more than usual keenness. There will be missing from the weekly Hne- up, however, several of the larger in stitutions, for Princeton has complet- Pennsylvania. are resting for their Thanksgiving Day game which will close the season for both teams.
 Harvard the Favorite.
 Based upon. the theory and science of modern football, Harvard ' should be and is favored to defeat Yale, but that the game will follow these lines is not at all certain since gridiron form has received far more than the usual number of jolts. and upsets this fall.
 Football is, in the last analysis, a team game where the perfect cooper ation of eleven. players on 7offense and defense should outweigh the efforts or an equal number of athletes who fail to work with the same harmony and cohesion during the contest. It some times happens, however, that the strength and individual ability Of men forming such combination is SO great that it will conquer perfect machine moulded from mediocre material. es- pecially if the breaks in the game fa- vor the stronger but cruder' playing eleven. This was demonstrated in the victory over Princeton. ae

The Cambridge team has been care fully trained and brought forward es- pecially for the Yale team. whereas Princeton appeared to reach her best form at least two weeks before the Blue was met.
 How Teams Showed With Princeton.
 Eliminating all consideration of tha games that preceded the triangular contest between Yale, Princeton and Harvard, 1t will be found that Har ward defeated Princeton as the result of a perfectly engineered team touch down and one field goal by Mahan against two by Tibbott. Yale also conquered the Tiger as the result of two field goals by Guernsey and a touchdown made after Way had pick line trough an absolutely clear field. In this game Yale was not strong enough to prevent Princeton from making a team touchdown and bare ly escaped at least one other.
 Yale Will Find Few Weak Spots.
 It seems unlikely that Harvard will display the weak spots in generalship and strategy of which Princeton was guilty at critical points in last Sat- urday's game, or that Yale will find the breaks of the play falling so steadi- ly in her favor. Under such circum- stances, the Ellis will have to depend upon either powerful efforts or strong team play. to overcome the Crimson machine. While the Harvard eleven of this year is not on a par with that of 1914, 1t is still far from weak. The squad contains a number of excellent players and Coach Haughton has welded it into combination physical ly perfect and thoroughly prepared, from football standpoint, for the gruelling game expected.
 Yale Has Made Remarkable Strides. |, Yale, since her string of defeats at the hands of Washington and Jeffer- son, Colgate and Brown, has made re- mapkable strides under the coaching Of. Tom Shevlin and others. It was the development of a powerful fighting spirit and unusual keenness in follow ins, the ball rather than any advance n.ent in team work either in attack or

 In the other important contests the competing elevens played according to form Pennsylvania and Michigan battled to a scoreless time in which the Wolverines showed fine football knowledge, but lack of strength to score with it, while the Quakers had power and drive which went for naught, owing to poor genralship and scoring strategy.
