been doing its part to arouse the
team. Every undergraduate has been
wearing a red and blue badge with the
words, Boost the Team! Beat Cor

The entire undergraduate body will
meet the team returning from the
country tomorrow and escort e to
the training house. There is not much
betting on the game tonight. What
little money is being wagered is at
odds of to on Cornell to win. The
Quakers think they have a chance, but
Cornell, OF account Of its great rec

Columbia Team to Fight for
a Clean Slate of Season
on South Field with
Wesleyan Team.

Football will bid long farewell to
its short-lived glory this afternoon. To
be sure, there remains the struggle be-
tween the Army and Navy elevens to
be fought on the Polo Grounds on Sat
urday. but to all intents and purposes
the sport of the gridiron will run its
course to-day.
It will be day of Thanksgiving for
the football enthusiasts. Three col
lege games will be played on local
fields.
Columbia will clash with Wesleyan
on South Field this afternoon and VIII
fight to make its record for the sea-
son an unbroken string Of victories.
With four triumphs already won, the
Blue and White is prepared for the
hardest game on its schedule and IS
fully confident that it will defeat the
team from Connecticut.
Turkey and the Thanksgiving feast
as counter attraction TO the game
have been recognized by the Columbia
authorities. and il was decided by them
Yesterday TO postpone the start of the
game from o'clock to 2:30. This
shift. they feel, will make it possible
for all who want to celebrate the holt
day with the family dinner at midday
to have plenty of opportunity TO finish
their feast before going 70 the game.
Wesleyan with powerful eleven,
which has been defeated only by Am
herst and Trinity, is respected by the
Columbia team. The Connecticut
eleven. however, will be minus the SER

Middletown, Conn, Nov 24.-Wes-
leyan finished its last practice of the
season and the last before the Column

the exception of Deetjen, are all in

that Wesleyan will be without this star

While neither is as good as Deetjen

winning this game with Columbia
Wesleyan will have had one of the
most successful seasons in years. and
all are looked for TO give the best in
themselves from start until finish.
So far Wesleyan has won six games
and lost two, Amherst and Trinity
being the colleges to defeat he Mid

especially "loose" ball, which brought
about long gains by Dunn and Yule in

New York University's football sea-
son will be brought TO close by the
battle with the Rutgers team on Ohio
Field to-day. In the final workout of
the year yesterday Tom Reilly ran the
varsity through a long signal drill.
The team from the banks of the
Raritan is powerful and aggressive
and should be able to take the measure
of the lighter Violet eleven. New York
University will depend largely on end
runs and forward passes TO advance
the ball Particular attention was paid
to this method of attack yesterday. All
the players, with the exception Of
Erwig, are in good condition.
The probable lineup follows:
Waldman, left end; Williams, left
tackle; Jordan, left guard; La Monica,
centre; Doggett, right guard Somers,
right tackle; Egan. right end; Manley,
quarterback; Cam, left halfback;
Draper, right halfback, and Bernstein,
fulback.
But the interest is not all local. The
Carlisle Indians will meet the sturdy
Brown eleven at Providence this morn
ing, the mighty Syracuse team will
tackle Montana at Missolua, Mont, and
Washington and Jefferson will take the
field against Lehigh.
The championship of Pennsylvania
will be settled when Glenn Warmers
Pittsburgh eleven faces the powerful
Penn State team. Both are well rated
and Pittsburgh has not been defeated

BROWN ELEVEN
ON TOES FOR THE
CARLISLE GAME
Only Two Regulars To Be
Out of the Lineup in
Tilt with Indians.
By BRIGGS


Providence, Nov. 24.-The Brown
football team, in the best possible trim
and ready to bring in decisive vic
tory, meets the Carlisle Indians on
Andrews Field in the last home game
of the season tomorrow morning. Last
year Brown defeated the Indians by a
score of 90 to IA, and tomorrow the
home eleven looks for a larger score.
The showing of the Carlisle team has
been none too good this season. but 1t
is understood that it will make a SUI
preme effort tomorrow to wipe out
last years defeat and incidentally to
raise its seasons record.
Maxwell and Brace will be the only
Brown regulars who will not get into
the game. The big guard has broken
nose, souvenir he received in the
Harvard game, while Brace is out be-
cause of the injury to his knee sus-
tanned early in the season.
Ormsby and Butner, the left ends,
are both back in the game. The num-
Der of cripples this season has been
remarkably small.
In the backfield Purdy will start at
quarter, and will probably play the
greater part of the game, although
Jimmy Murph: will probably get a
chance some time during the contest.
Captain Andrews, Pollard and Saxton
will compose the rest of the first
string backfeld. The coaches to-day
contented themselves with q signal
practice for the members of the squad,
and two teams, made up of men who
have good chance of getting into the
game, were put through the various
formations. Murphy ran the sub team
and Purdy the varsity.
The teams will line up as follows:
