SAYS FRANCHISE
RIGHT SHOULD BE
VESTED in CITY

General Manager Ballentyne of the
Honolulu Rapid Transit & Land Com
pany took a shot at Governor Pink
ham before the board of supervisors
last night and following his impromp-
tn remarks Supervisor Single arose
and said he thought it best for the
supervisors to memorabilia Congress
to take away the territory's control
over the street car company and vest
it with the city officials.
The question of the width of the new
parking on Kalakaua avenue was be-
ing debated by the supervisors, and
Hellinger and others on the board
urged that some steps be taken to
compel the street car company to lay
its tracks in the center of this park
ing, or at least in the center of the
road Mr.. Ballentyne couldn't see the
benefits to the company from such a
change and intimated as much, at
which Supervisor Hollinger arose and
fiayed the street car company. He
said that If he owned property and
the car tracks ran right alongside his
curb he would tie his one boss shay
right on the car tracks and defy the
car company to make him move it.
I'VE had intended to double-track
King street from the present end of
the double tracking near Alapai street
clear out to the end of the paving"
Mr.. Ballentyne announced. and we
were going to put the tracks in the
center of the street We also had
plans for improvements costing from
$3.50, 900 to 100000 or 100000. The
legislature granted our company an
extension of franchise, but due to the
efforts of the governor, Congress
failed to ratify the extension; and OF
course we are not going to spend
money with our franchise in an I'M
certain state.
The Rapid Transit Company has
decided not to make material improve
ments of any kind until such time as
we get an extension of our franchises =
Whereupon Supervisor Single arose
and said he guessed" it was up to
the board to memorabilia Congress to
vest the powers now held by the gov
erncr and the legislature in the board
of supervisors so that the city could
have full power to deal with the street
car company.

Purchasing Agent Bolts Tells
Supervisors Whitehouse
Buys Without Orders

Those who journeyed to the city
hall last night in hopes of hearing
and seeing lively argument over the
proposed rules of procedure for the
board of supervisors met with disap-
pointment. Mayor Lane kept his pro-
mise and introduced his proposed
rules, but Supervisor Logan moved
that reading of them be postponed I'M
til next Thursdays meeting
The members of the board uttered
a chorus of signs of relief when Lo-
gan made the proposal. and seven
hands in the air signified their willing
ness to postpone the debates until
next week When the vote was over,
several gallery gods got out Of
their seats and left the building.
City Purchasing Agent Bolts pre-
scented a report to show that City En-
gineer Whitehouse has not lived up
to the terms Of his promise to the
board that he would discontinue buy
ing supplies for his department with
out orders from the purchasing de-
partment. Bolts cited the instance of

NAVY SHOWS BETTER FORM.
Scrubs Hold Regulars for a While,
But Are Soon Routed.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, November s.-F'or
twenty minutes the regular team at the
Naval Academy was played to stand
still by the scrubs yesterday afternoon,
while the regiment of midshipmen as
sembled in the stand exhorted the play
ers to greater effort Then the team sud
denly began to show more dash and car
ried the ball from its own 4o-ysrd line to
the 20-yard line of the scrubs. and one of
the best forward pass plays Of the sea-
son, from Miles to BIodgett, carried the
bali across the goal line.
There was still more enthusiasm in the
stand when Westphal caught the kick
off on his own 10-yard line, and ran
so yards. scattering opponents right
and left in his course. WestphaI. Davis
and Miles continued to carry the ball
until it was on the scrubs 15-yard line.
but a forward pass play at this point
was unsuccessful. Little Orr the fast
fourth-class man, was at quarter, with
Capt. Miles at full. Martin and Westphal
started at haIfback and Davis took Mar
tins place for about half the scrimmage
Ericsson and Henefee did good work in
the scrub backfeld. Every member Of
the Navy contingent sees the contest with
the Army looming large, and the midship-
men are occupying the stands at every
practice, and are doing all they can to
enthuse spirit into the players.

TOM SHEVLIN AT YALE,
inexperienced Coaches Blamed for
Poor Showing of Els.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, November s.
Tom Shevlin reached New Haven at
noon yesterday and was generally re-
garded at yesterday afternoons prac-
tice of the team as the real head of
the Yale foot ball organization for the
remainder of the season. When asked
whether Shevlin was in control Nelson
Talbot, spokesman for the Hinkey
Capt. Wilson also declined to give a
questioned he good naturedly said: Il
don't know what they do call me.
You'll have to ask the powers that be.
l am here to help coach"
Capt. Wilson made no statement
concerning the coaching muddle un-
til last night, when he said that Yaie's
poor showing this fall has been due to
the fact that the coaching has been
done by men without experience IN
winning elevens. and he asserted that
Hinkey had been RELOCATED from the
position of head coach to membership
IN a coaching board. His statement fol-
lows:
THE foot ball situation up to the
present time has been that the team
has lost confidence and lacks knowl-
edge of elementary foot ball. This
has been due in a large part to the
fact that experienced and older men
who have played in former champion
ship teams have not been assisting IN
the coaching. They have been now
called back, both by Coach Hinkey
and myself They will take charge of
the team. In effect the change is a
return to the old Yale method of
board of coaches taking the respons-
gle coach. Mr.. Hinkey will be one of
this board"

GRADS TEAR UP TIGERS.
Foot Ball Coaches Show Weaknesses
in Princeton's Defense,

PRINCETON, N J., November 3.-Jim
Mccormick, who graduated from Prince
ton with the class of 1908, is still a
good halfback, and Ham Andrews is
not slow at running a ball up the field
from fake kick formation. Bluethen
thai, one of the best centers in col
legiate foot ball when he finished
Princeton undergraduate life, still
knows something of the game. and Rip
Shenk Is almost as good as when he
won all-American honors a few years
ago.
All this came out in the course of
yesterday afternoons practice. Per-
suaded that the scrub eleven was not
strong enough to do the varsity much
good. SPEEDY Rush assembled an all
star eleven from his assistant coaches
and sent 1t against his regulars. Blue
thenthal was at center. Shenk appeared
at guard, Andrews acted as quarter
back and Mccormick was at ha1fback.
Yates. the ineligible. was at tackle. and
the remainder of the team was made up
of substitutes.
This combination took the ball
against the varsity on their own ten
yard line. and they started up the field.
The Princeton regulars f1gurattvely
stood on their heads during the greater
part of their time. Jim Mccormick
waded through holes IN the line, An
drews flashed around end on fake kick
formations. and Jack Eddy, one of the
subs" in the all-star backfeld. helped
to gain some ground. The interference
afforded the coaches on their runs was
of the prettiest sort imaginable. Nc
Cormick starring In this, his special
forte. and the regular line was very
weak. The all-stars crossed the goal,
and then started back. Rush stopped
the play just as the makeshift team
was about to score again.
The play brought out the weakness of
the varsity on defense to an alarming
manner, and Rush was happy over the
success of his plan to show the regu-
lars their true standing. The absence
of Gennert, Nourse and Mclean ac-
counted to some extent for the weak
ness, but even the SUBS" were thought
stronger than they really proved. The
emphasis that has been placed on the
offensive for the last two weeks is
probably responsible to a certain ex-
tent, and the coaches count on the ex-
pertinent of the afternoon to make the
regulars get down to more serious work
in all departments. The showing of the
ends was bitter disappointment, how
ever.

Veteran Outfelder Announces Re

PHILADELPHIA, November Sit
was announced yesterday afternoon at
the Athletics headquarters that RUDE
Oldring would not be with the Mack
men next year. In the future he will
devote his time to the development of a
large farming property he purchased
two years ago at Shiloh, N J. The re-
tirement of Oldring will be somewhat
of a surprise to the fans, who believe
that several years of big league ball
remain for him.
Manager Mack of the Athletics yes
terday said that he had received notice
from Oldring Of his intention to quit
the game, and that was all he knew
about the matter. Reports have been
in circulation that Mack. after the close
of the last season, intended TO trade his
popular left fielder to some other team.
and that because he was not satisfied
with the deal Oldring had kicked out
of harness.
This, however, Mack denied, and added
that he had no intention of disposing
of Oldring, and that If the retirement
Is really to take place, it is entirely
on Oldring's volition. Manager Mack
stated specifically that he had not sign
ed Oldring to a contract for next year.

Georgetown can boast a foot ball
team of substantial power and keen
resourcefulness. 1t came up from Wash
!, ington yesterday and defeated Ford
ham on Fordham Field by a score of
33 to Z, and earned thereby. through
the elimination process, the champion
ship of the Catholic colleges.
1.-THE game was full of brilliant runs
and daring forward passes, so that the
goodly crowd of about 1000 persons en-
joyed plenty of thrills, but from first
OF last Georgetown stood out like such
a giant of the gridiron that feeling
of hopelessness soon settled over the
F'ordham supporters, which took much
of the joy out of the afternoon"
In this way New Yorw foot ball
writer opened his story of the game
between Georgetown and Fordham yes
terday at New York. The two para
graphs tell the tale of the victory of
the Blue and Gray over it's old-time
rival. Fordham hardly had a chance
to win at any time, even before the
game began. and it was not thought
that the local eleven would take the
big end of the score so decisively.
Georgetown played remarkable foot
ball, according to reports, giving an
exhibition which entities 1t to the finest
kind of recognition.
Georsetown's play yesterday en-
bodied everything OF real worth. it's
line plunging. fakes and forward
passes being worked with the same IA
clllty- Georgetown Is given credit for
having played remarkable game in
every respect. it having been one of the
finest exhibitions any Blue and Gray
eleven has ever put up. according to
opinions of those that watched the
contest.
Georgetown has no game this coming
saturday, and will begin to prime i'm
med,a tely for the battle with the North
Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical
College. November Is. The North Caro-
INA eleven. while not showing up very
strong early in the year, gave evidence
last week against the Navy that it pos
sesses sufficient power to warrant a
prediction that mighty hard close
contest will be played when the two
teams face With A. and NJ. and George
Navy to its credit, there seems every
reason to believe that the largest crowd
