It is the rankest nonsense for The

has nothing to do with this business.
The public has everything to do with

they refuse arbitration and cast con-

FreIoht Accident, Decrease,

The use Of the huge new locomo-

against which the Brotherhoods of

enormous increase in wages, protest
so vigorously, seems to have resulted
in a rapid decrease in accidents to

Nav Shift Slliverick.

Ithaca, N. Y, Nov. 22.-With every
regular in the lineup for the first time
in over a week the Cornell varsity got
down to hard practice for the Penn
game yesterday afternoon. The
coaches plan to clean UP all but the
finishing touches this week. A good
deal of time was spent in trying out
new plays, particularly forward
passes, against the scrubs in the
dummy scrimmage held in the base
ball cage.
Shiverick, who resumed the quar-
terback position, uncovered a number
Of swiftly tossed forwards for good
gains. Before the team went into the
cage Shiverick also gave a splendid
exhibition of punting. Reports were
current yesterday that DR.. Sharpe
proposed to shift Shiverick to left
halfback and let Speed run the team
at quarterback.

BETTING EVEN MONEY.
Professional Bettors Quoting $3.50 on
Harvard-Yale Battle.

Professional bettors quoted even
money on the Harvard Yale game
yesterday and 10 to 6 on the Army
against the Navy. 1t is possible that
Harvard will be a slight favorite in
the odds before the rival varsity
elevens begin operations in the Bowl.
Yale's victory over Princeton has
doomed the stock Of the Blue team,
but it is figured that Harvard will
play stronger football against the
Blue than against the Tigers. Har-
wards ability to conceal the ball when
rushing is a most important point. If
Yale can break up this puzzling attack
it is figured that Haughton's eleven
will strike a snag. Physical endur-
ance also will be a big factor in the
result. Fierce football by Yale is a
foregone conclusion. Harvard must
play with wonderful fortitude, there
fore, to offset the powerful aggressive
ness Of Tad Jones pupils. Briefly,
Harvard must outgame Yale.

The merry procession that the Live

YALE ADOPTS COURSE
,Heusatonict DalSea Course lis Taken
Over for Permanent Home for the
University Boat Club. f.

New Haven, Nov. 22.-Yale has
finally decided to adopt the two mile
stretch on the Housatonic lake, Just
above Derby, as its permanent row.
ing course. The decision was reached
following a conference between AS
sistant Coach Abbott of the Yale uni
versity Boat club,V. B. Clarke,
city engineer of Derby and John J.
Mahoney of the Housatonic Park and
Boating company. Mr.. Abbott visited
the lake Monday afternoon and gave
the engineer authority to have s&he
course in shape for rowing by next
spring.
r. THE decision to make the Housa-
tonic Yale's permanent home course
in place of New Haven harbor was
arrived at by the rowing committee
after witnessing the race of the var
sitv crews and looking over the many
advantages of the lake one week ago
last Saturday. Mr. Abbott said yes
terday that the rowing committee had
given him full power to do everything
necessary in preparing the course on
the lake for the permanent use of the
navy for both practice and racing,
without regard to price.
1T is understood that the university
already has an option on the land just
south of the Van Deusen boat house,
where the permanent quarters will be
erected. During the brief period of
practice here this fall, the crews used
the pavilion of the Housatonic Park
and Boating company as temporary
quarters.
Engineer V. B. Clarke was given in
structions by Mr.. Abbott to lay out
a, two miles course on the lake, the
start to be near the Derby Country
club house This new course will be
a. little distance further south than
the one which was used this fall, as
the finish will be about 600 feet above
the dam instead of at the Housatonic
pavilion. This is planned in order to
have the finishing line directly in
front of the proposed new boat house.

Last Year and This Year.

Last year Harvard beat Princeton
by points, Yale beat Princeton by
6 points, Harvard beat Yale IL points
This year Harvard beat Princeton
by points, Yale beat Princeton by
10 points. If Harvard should beat Yale
by a decisive margin again it can be
written down that Princeton can't
play against Yale and that Yale, in
turn, can't play her game against
Harvard.
A turn for which the present
schedule arrangement may be largely
esponsible-where Princeton is forced
to meet Yale without rest, after facing
Harvard, and where Yale, without rest
from Princeton, is forced against Hair
ward.

Pitt or Brown.

The two strongest elevens in the
Eastern range undoubtedly are Pitt
and Brown. One might easily
imagine Pitt beating Yale and Har-
ward by big scores, just as Brown did,
but the Army hardly looks that
strong. Although with Oliphant and
Vidal West Point has two men at
least who can raise an unlimited
amount of Cain.
AS between Pitt and Brown there is
no choice that we care to make Brown,
by beating Yale 81 to and by trim
ming Harvard FL to, 0, has accom-
plished a trife more in a schedule way
than Pitt has. :..&..j -, "

is not to be overlooked. Both have

RECORD PRICES At
OLD GLORY SALE
Billings Paid S25,125 for Thirty
two Weanlings and GeldinsS

New York, Nov. IA record price
was paid for a consignment of wean-
lings yesterday afternoon at the Old
Glory horse sale in Madison Square
Garden. Thirty-two "babies" be-
longing to G. K. G. Billings, noted ann
ateur sportsman, brought $21, 375, and
his five-year- gelding Ben Billings
sold for $1,000, making the total of
$25,125 for his consignment, for an
average of $3.50.
Never before were such prices
brought for q large consignment of
weanlings. With the exception of
three of them all are by The Har-
vester, Mr.. Billings most famous
stallion. They were a likely looking
lot and spirited bidding came with the
appearance of each before the auc-
| tioneer. Of the lot a bay filly named
Harvest Dawn was top prize. She
went to w. J. Thubron of Pittsburgh
| for $1,000 She is out of Lucille Bin
| gen by the noted stillion Bingen, and
while being inspected by the big
group Of horsemen showed the frisk-
mess of a two-year-old thoroughbred.
Harvest Pride, another bay filly by
The Harvester, brought $1,000. A. HI.
| Cosden of this city getting him at this
price after much spirited bidding. Mr..
| Cosden also purchased Harvest. Mem
| cries for $1,000.
David Tod of Youngstown, Ohio,
paid $1,150 for roam colt by The
Harvester named Harvest Silver, and
$1,000 for a brown filly named Har-
vest Stream.
Ben Billings, which was sold to
Fred Jamison of Arden, Pa, has a
record of 2:O7, and many harness
horsemen said he is a two minute
gelding. He is by Bingen, dam Lou
Dillon by Sidney Dillon.
Several Canadian horsemen made
purchases, but they bought the very
cheapest at the sale. j. Ardemen of
Quebec got Kabola, a good looking
brown mare for $65; J. B. Boalnette
of Quebec paid $3.50 for Imogene Con-
stantine, seven-year-old brown
mare, and O. Turnear also of Que
bee, bought Tregantic Girl, a six-year-
old mare, for $3.50. N

Tad Jones Arrives.

Regardless of the Harvard ale
affair a few days further on, Tad
Jones has already arrived.
With only fair material, harrassed all
year by the toughest possible fate,
Jones has put forward a machine
capable of beating Lehigh, w. & j.,
Colgate and Princeton, with only one
defeat against his men all year.
This record, considering Yale's
heavy casualty list, is a brilliant one,
and it isn't likely to be married by
Harvard this week, even though Har-
ward WINS BY which we mean there
will be no SO to 0 nor Al to rout
this coming Saturday, nor anything
remotely resembling the same.
