COUNTRY AIR FOR YALE.
Foot Ball Squad Will Make Extend
ed Stay on Farmington Hills.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, November s.
All the Yale players who were sent into
the Brown game Saturday for an ew-
tended stay passed yesterday in the
dormitory and on the grounds of the
farmlngton Country Club house, where
they were taken Saturday evening. The
bracins air of the Pennington hills and
the complete change from the campus
and the gridiron showed it's effects on
the Eli warriors. Some of them re-
turned to this city last night, and the
last of the squad will be here today
Although Yale sent ten reserves into
the game, there were no injuries ex-
cept a dislocated thumb, sustained by
Nal Scovil. He retired to the sideIines,
where the thumb was set. He returned
to the play, but was compelled to again
soon retire.
Yale will resume the weeks practice
today. with no backfeld changes de-
cided upon, but with vigorous attempts
on the part of the backfield coaches to
improve the technique of the novices
Bingham and Van Nostrand
Jim Higginbotham will rejoin the
eleven today, but the end rush play of
Buck" Church Saturday indicated that
he is Il factor in the final selection of
left end. Moseley. who was hurt two
weeks ago, now is ready to play again
This position probably will be the last
to be settled in the Yale lineup Carl
Wiedeman, on the other end, is a fix
ture.

LITTLE WORSE FOR WEAR.
Harvard Foot Ballers Return With
Scalp of the Tigers.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November s.
The Harvard foot ballers are back,
but little the worse for wear, after
the grand victory over Princeton. The
players were a pretty sore lot and will
be given today off in order to rest up.
Dick f1arte, varsity right end, who
was mussed up in the Pennsylvania
State game, was again hurt Saturday,
but will be back in practice by We'd
nesday. Dummy Watson, who so ably
and was one of the most important
factors in the Crimsons triumph, also
will lay off, and may probably not be
seen again in action until the game
with Yale. Robinson has been showing
lots of stuff in practice and may, be
allotted the task of generating the
team next Saturday against Brown.
Dick King, whose 20-yard run Satur-
day lined the Harvard pocketbooks
with numerous greenbacks, will take
the rest cure, but is expected to be
ready by Wednesday.
In the past two or three years Coach
Haughton has seen fit to view the
Brown game a sort of A trial horse
for his substitute players, and this
fall probably will be no exception. eX-
cept that one or two of the backs and
couple of linemen will be on hand to
help out the substitutes.
The team that started at Princeton
will, with one or two changes, be the
same outfit that will face Yale here
next week.

note of warning when the squad re-

morning. though all We're naturally
pleased at Cornelfs impressive victory
over Michigan.
Head Coach Sharpe said he did not
think that Cornell played as well
against Michigan as last years team,
which won by 26 to 13. 1t seemed to
him that Cornell did not play her best
form, that the men let down a little
after they found that the opposition
was not as strong as expected. He did
not make this statement in the nature
of a criticism. but as an impartial judg-
ment. The hint was ventured that the
coaches would expect better play. more

There were a few bruises reported at
training table, but no serious injuries,
and the squad as whole is in the

CHICAGO. November S.-Foot ball
critics pointed with pride today to their
predictions. as practically every game
in this territory Saturday resulted as
forecast. Perhaps the overwhelming
score rolled up by Cornell against
Michigan overtopped estimates. but
there had been little doubt before the
game that Cornell was far the better
team.
Reports from Ann Arbor rank Bar
rett as one of the best quarters Of the
country and those who saw the game
declare the remainder of the team af-
forded him worthy support. Special
praise was bestowed on shiverick, Col

TRAVERS AND HUNTER
WIN F0URSOME MATCH
Amateur and Professional Defeat
Marston and Low, 3 Up, in
Hard Golf Battle.

NEW YORK, November s.-Jerome
Travers, amateur, and David Hunter,
professional, yesterday beat Maxwell
Marston, amateur. and George Low,
professional, up at 36 holes in four
ball match over the Baltusrol links.
There was special interest in the af-
fair, for it is likely to prove the last
public appearance for months of the
two best known amateurs in the metro
polian district. Travers, despite a few
skips. played a fine, consistent game.
Hunter was so off his brassie play that
he used irons throughout.
Marston was variable, usually being
wild as a hawk. Low played poorly in
the morning, but after luncheon was
quite another person.
Oswald Kirkby, amateur, was to have
played, but Hunter took his place.
