Principal and Coach Believe Thi'
Years Eleven Would Defeat
Many Teams Represent
ing Minor Colleges.

When the final ranking Of scholastic
football elevens in New York Is made
at the end of this rapidly waning sea-
son. the team Of Hamilton Institute will
hold a place of prominence. Hamilton
is out with challenge to play the win
ner of the public high schools cham
pionship in greater New York for the
scholastic title, and, judged on results
achieved on the field, has more than an
even chance to win.
A talk with DR.. n. A. Shaw, principal
of Hamilton Institute. would convince
any one that the team could not only
walk roughshod over school elevens
but would do well against the majority
Of the minor colleges. Indeed, II IL
could be arranged, DR.. Shaw said, he
Would gladly allow his boys to tackle
their big brothers Of the colleges on
the gridiron. George " Bonhag, ath-
letic adviser Of the school, and Al
Neary, Rochester, IA, the head coach,
share the confidence Of DR.. Shaw.
The feeling of confidence in team
which DR.. Shaw declares TO be the pest
in the history of the school is not
without good and sufficient grounds
Half dozen games have been played,
and of these three were won IN most
convincing style and one resulted IN a
tie. while two were lost. Cullum HAIL.
of West Point, and Paving Schooi &C
counted for the defeats.
The defeat at the hands OF Pawllng
WIS really a result OF the game with
Cullum Hall. The Hamilton lads, just
eleven of them, plunged into the game
With the future army officers and
nlayed them off their feet IN the hrst
half In the second half West Point
hurried I'D reinforcements IN fresh sub
stitutes. and made three touchdowns on
the tired Hamilton team. This game
was gruelling, and Hamilton returned
home bruised and battered. That did
not prevent them meeting Pawling. In
no condition to play their best, the
Hamilton boys were beaten.
Those beatings did not crush the
spirit of the team, and il rallied and
defeated Rutgers Prep, which had been
unbeaten in two seasons. The New
Rochelle High School team was showed
under by score OF SO to 0, and Kings
ley School, unbeaten since 1912, was
rushed off its feet and trounced by a
score Of Il TO o. Poly Prep is next on
the schedule, and the season will close
with the game against the Columbia
freshmen on November "a.
Hamilton is blessed with a wealth OF
material this season. Twenty-fo2i
boys are on the squad, averaging l5s
pounds. Every practice is little less
than a game, for the men are evenly
matched and there is bitter hght
on for every place. 1t 70 Just TN

Football at Columbia
Satisfactory, Says Head

tain restrictions that were stated. The
purpose OF these restrictions WAS to
make II certain that the lesson of the
last ten years SHOULD not be lost. and
that football, in common with all other
branches OF athletics, should be made
subordinate and kept subordinate To
the academic work Of the university.
Through the provision that practice
periods and methods Of training must
have the authorization of the depart
ment of physical education there WAS
established direct relationship be-
tween this form Of sport and the pro-
visions which the university makes for
the care of the health and the develop
ment OF the strength of the students.
The plan as proposed is now in opera
ton. Il has bean received with great
satisfaction, both by the students and
by the alumni. and,it is entirely salts
factory 70 the faculties. IL has met
with general approval on the part OF
the public. There is every reason to
hope, therefore, that the students Of
Columbia College may in the future
find themselves In better position than
ever before to participate in athletic
sports and in intercollegiate contests
and with the whole body of university
opinion in sympathy with them. be-
cause the abuses and dangers Of an
older day have been removed and their
recurrence avoided
DR.. Butler makes Il plain that in 1908
there was absolute unanimity Of opinion

faculty committee, the university coun-
Gil and himself. Tie applies "A quota

THE most important footbsll-gsmee,

their own good, they stood grouped by

BILLIARD CLASH
BEGINS TONIGHT
Slosson Considered Dark
Horse in 1872 Handicap
Tournament.

BEAT the champion" has long been
the slogan in sport. Billiard enthusi-
asts long for a Frank Ives or "Wiz-
ard" Schaefer to stop Willie Hopes
bslkline reign; not because the balk-
line champion is unpopular, but be-
cause his winning habit has become
monotonous.
So Hoppe was invited TO enter an
1872 handicap tournament, leaving the
marks TO be settled by consensus OF
opinion. and readily agreed. The re-
suit will be fought out this week in
the New York Theatre Concert Hall.
Some seventy prominent players and
others identified with billiards through
out the country submitted what they
considered suitable odds. All placed
Home on the 500 mark at scratch.
Then came wide variance OF figures
for the other five entrants. Averaged
up. they approximated the following
list. which was adopted: George SUIT
ton. 400; George Slosson, 375; Koji
Yamada, 375; Joseph Mayer, 325, and
Welker Cochran. 300.
At these odds every match should
furnish a nip-andtuck struggle with
any one Of the six having look-in for
first place. Breaks in luck may cut
some figure in individual games, but in
the long run the odds are generally
satisfactory to both the players them
selves and to close students of the diff
cult sport.
George Slosson is considered the
dark horse Of the tournament He has
been out Of active competition for some
time, but his old mastery has returned
with practice. and an average Of 80 was
rolled up in one practice match.
Hoppe and Yamada will open the
tournament tonight. Cochran and
Mayer play tomorrow afternoon and
Sutton meets Slosson tomorrow night.
Two games will then be played daily,
except Sunday, until the final, a week
from Tuesday night. First prize will
be $1,000, and the other prizes are
graded down to $500 for the player who
finishes last
