 Ryan, who came to Harvard two years ago from Notrc Dame, where he played end, was brought to the var sity from the scrubs yesterday. He has been playing fine football all 1all but yesterday his work was orllnant enough to earn promotion.

Cornell Lineup Changed.

Ithaca, Nov. 3.-When the Cornell varsity trots on the field against the Carnegie Tech team on Saturday there will be several radical changes in the lineup. Most of the varsity linemen are laid up with injuries and prob ably will not even appear on the field in their togs. The new lineup which probably will start the Carnegie game played good practice tilt with the scrubs in a hard scrimmage yester- day.
 Zander and Ryerson played the end, Sutton and Dixon, tackles; Tilley and Bard, guards, and Brown, center. Speed will run the team from quarter back, Shiverick playing at left halfback, if at all, with Benedict and Hocman the first cal! for the halves and Capt Mueller at fullback. This team scored two hard earned touch- downs on the seconds this afternoon.
 Miller and Anderson, the regular guards until yesterday, have not been showing the form required of them by the coaches, partly due to min or injuries. Gillies and Jewett, the regu- lar tackles, are laid up with leg in- juries and Carey has an injured eye from the Harvard game. The coaches look for this new team to put up a good game against the Pitts burgh eleven

Should the game develop into kick ing contest it is prcsoable that Dyson will get a chance, his ability to drop the pigskin over the bar inside the thirty-yard line gives him a fair chance. Another change may be made by switching Williams to the backfield and placing Dixon in the line. The chubby boy should fit we'll in the line should the change be necessary The bunting and kickoff will fall to Brad lcy's lot. Hubbard is also somewhat Of a booter and he may also be given 6 trial at scoring some points by the over-the-b bar method. Considerable attention was given the kickers at last nights practice, one of the most de- tectable weaknesses being displayed by Rosenberg who has a tendency to fondle the ball too much before placing it on the ground for place. nlent kicks.

MAKEUP OF YALE
 ELEVEN UNCERTAIN
Right Guard and Left HalfbaCk
 Positions Uncertain

New Haven, Nov. 3.-The makeup or the Yale team for the game with Colgate still is uncertain The po- Sltlons Of right guard and left half pack are doubtful For the past three weeks Hutchinson, the full pack, has been playing center, but yesterday Vorys, who was injured some time ago, was in the lineup, and the chances are that he will start the game on Saturday.
 Hutchinson played fullback for the scrubs yesterday. Graham and Zen ner each are making a strong bid for Galt's place at right guard while Neville and Waite are running neck and neck in the race for Bingham's place at left halfback.
 Tad Jones will not announce the lineup until just before the game Saturday. The varsity made two touchdowns yesterday against the scrubs.
 Judge HefInger, who was ex- pected' to arrive from St. Paul to as- sist in coaching, did not get here yes- terday. He is one of Ya1e's greatest former guards and his arrival to as- sist in settling the guard competition is regarded as most opportune He is sure to be on hand today.

less coach, Floyd Brown, the boys have conditioned themselves in a wonderful manner during the past week, and their friends need enter tain no fears for them tomorrow Hartford is bound to put up a stiff battle tomorrow, memories of past defeats grating on their minds yet. The Capitol City team has not ac- complished anything of favorable mention so far this season, having lost repeatedly, their only victory coming last Saturday at hands of Torrington, and as very good line has been secured on their work by local scouts, it is the prediction of Physical Director Moorehead that a victory of two touchdowns will not be asking too much of the boys to- morrow.
 The eleven which the locals will start the game with is practically a green one, there being but Captain Connolly, Hubbard, Bradley and Dix on who have had past experience as regular men but with this as a nucleus the work of pounding out team

Colgate Coaches Worried.

Hamilton, N. Y, Nov. 3.-With Spencer and Hubbell still on the hos pital list, the former in such a con- dition that he will be unable to start the game Colgate's chances for a third victory over Yale are far from promising. Gillo did not take part in the signal drill yesterday after noon. He still carries a bad limp, and it is very doubtful if either he or Hubbell, the mainstay in the kicking line, will be in condition to start against Yale

The ends although small make LID this deficit by their speed.

 Director Moorehead said today that the probable lineup of the team at the opening of the game would be as follows: Ends Hubbard and Wood- ford: tackles, Johnson and Robb:

Annex Again Tumble Downward When Wanderers Win Deciding Game of Match-RangerS Win.

The Annex bowling quintet went down to another defeat last evening at the Aetna alleys at the hands of the Wanderers, who forced the erst- while champs of the league to take the short end of three frame series. The losers succeeded in capturing the first game of the match but after that it was all the Wanderers way. Larson and Screen turned in scores of over 300, which was of much as- sistance to the winners.
 The Rangers had a comparatively easy time with the Pastimes, winning all three games in decisive fashion. Clancey featured for the Rangers while if any ribbons were to be dis tributed among the losers, Thornton earned one by his fairly good work. The scores are as follows:

BOSTON SALE HELD
 UP BY BAN JOHNSON
Ratification by League Needed Be-
 fore Deal Is Completed

Boston, Nov. 3.-Until it is ratified by the several American league owners the deal which is to give the Red Sox to Harry H. Frazee. Hugh Ward and Lawrence Weber of this city cannot be closed. This informa- ton was sent out by B. B. Johnson, president of the league, who stated that he had received information of the sale from Joseph J. Lannin, former owner, but was not in position 10 say it would be accepted until he had heard from the owners.
 Frazee refuses to be alarmed about the slow action of the league owners and is going ahead with his plans Of taking over the business of the club. Undoubtedly he will become presi- dent just as soon as the final papers are signed. As yet there only exists an agreement whereby bannin promises to sell to Frazee, Ward and Weber his holdings in Boston for $625,OO0. Although it was not an-1 rounced, only a small amount Of money has changed hands as yet, the balance to be paid when the trans action is satisfactory to all concerned. Announcements yesterday that G.. M. Anderson was one of the local sym dicate which purchased the club was denied by Frazee, who said that he had received te1egrams from numer- ous sources in which many persons asked for a chance to buy a share or | two of the stock, but would deny this i opportunity to all. Frazee is certain l that he and his associates can swing 1 he deal without outside help. 4
 Cor~,.max. Te Frazee has not heard from Bill Carrigan and does not not know 1 whether or not the manager will agree to sign for the job next season The new owners are working on the as- sumption that they can convince. Car rigan his services are needed and they are not in the field for other men. A new business manager also must he appointed. Frazee said he turned
 oyer the clubs winter business to the
 cffice force in charge at Fenway Park
 and would look to them to handle the
 clubs affairs at least until after the American league meeting in Decenl-
 Der.
 The new owners were reticent about
 giving out any information, insisting
 that they were under obligations to
 give Boston first choice on any de-
 cisions. Frazee probably will return to Boston in the near future to get tho clubs affairs in shape. ,as
