FORDHAM LOSES
 ID GE0RGET0WN IN THRILLING GAME

New York, Nov. 8-With the same men in it's lineup that defeated Dart mouth two weeks ago, Georgetown came up to Fordham Field yesterday and won the Catholic college cham pionship of the East by 13 to Vlc- tory over the lighter Fordham eleven. Although baffled in their ambition to avenge their defeat of last year, the Bronxites put up @ sturdy tlgnt, and expert observers rate them as the best aggregation that has sported the Maroon since 1909. It was the first setback for the local men this year.
 The Southerners scored their vic tory before the biggest crowd that ever assembled at Fordham Field. Over 10000 students, alumni, and rooters of both sexes completely sur rounded the field in a cheering mass that gradually grew more solemn as Georgetown went into the lead in the last half.
 Fordham played the best game it has shown this season, and for the first half had the visitors completely baked in all their trick plays. Time and again the Blue and Gray runners tried out the Indian tactics of their coach. Exedine, the old Carlisle star, but the local linemen were on the job. Even when the hopes of the Fordham- ties were almost blasted, late ill the second period, with the ball on their yard line, they held for downs, Dempsey kicking out of danger to midfield.
 Treanor, the 150 pound Fordham centre, starred on the line, leaving the game only when he could barely stand. Lowe at tackle and the Ma room ends were also outplaying their rivals, but the Southerners found a hole at left tackle and directed their g ttentions there all through the last rart of the contest.
 The Fordham back field did excel l,Et work. Erwig's open field runs Dempsey's punts, and McNamara's headwork being of a high grade, but the Southerners held the locals safe at the crucial moments. George towns backs, especially Gilroy and McQuade, broke away for many tell ing gains that eventually speIie vic- tory

MINOR LEAGUERS
 EXPECT TO MAKE REFORMS IN GAME

New York, Nov. 8.-Bent on doing several things to the national agree ment, primed with suggestions or many sorts, broken in pocketbook put not in spirit, the minor league base ball magnates of the country begin to- day to step into the limelight. They are on their way to New Orleans, where a week from yesterday they will open their annual meeting.
 The minor leagues have been in a bad way for long time, and many a bush town mogul has been spending his nights without sleep trying to fig ure out a plan whereby baseball can be made to pay in the smaller cities of the country. Nearly every one Of them has planned some sort of a sug- gestion and the air at New Orleans IS going to be full of them.
 New York is entertaining it's share of the minor magnates today, several going there to take a steamship for the Louisiana city. Jimmy McGill, owner of the Indianapolis American association club, and his manager, Jack Hendricks, spent election day in Nef York, and became members of a party which sailed today.
 Ed. G. Barrow, president of the In- ternationa1 league, will make the trip down the coast, and Governor John K. Tener is expected to be aboard.
 Redistricting plans are part of the rumor flying about regarding pos sible reorganization of the small cir cults. These congratulations as planned call for splits in present cir cults that are almost unbelievable. Drastic measures will be suggested and there are some magnates who be- lieve at least a part of them will be adopted
 The minors feel they haven't been getting good treatment and they want some changes in the national agree ment Also, Dave F'ultz has a bone to pick with the magnates, and some new demands already in possession of the national board for submission at the New Orleans meeting
 Some of the minors want represent ation on the national commission.

BROWN HOPEFUL OF OF BEATING YALE
 AGAIN ON SATURDAY

Providence, R. T., Nov. 8-Brown started practice in earnest yesterday in preparation for it's game with Yale at New Haven on Saturday. In all, 36 men reported at the field, and all but two got into togs and took part in the snappy signal practice and short scrinlmage which took place
 The men came in for a good deal of criticism on account of their rather listless game against the Vermonters on Saturday, and as a result coIu- p.ete reversal of form was evidenced The men went at the hard, uninterest- ing work of running through signals with si spirit which bodes well for the teams chances next Saturday, and in the succeeding games, and the work tomorrow and the rest of the week will be of a still more serious nature.
 As far as injuries are concerned, the team has probably never been any better off than at the present time With the exception of Ray Ward, the varsity tackle. who will probably be unable to get into the game until early next week or the latter part of the present week, the squad is in splendid condition.
 
 or the whack on the head he received m the rough Rutgers contest. Purdy too, is in fine shape, and with Jimmie Murphy as an able substitute, the quarterback position seems well taken care of for the next few games. Cap tain Farnum, Wade and Marshall all CT whom have not been in the best Of shape lately, have been taken in hand by Trainer Huggins and are now we'll conditioned for the hard contests on the horizon.
 The whole squad realized the seri- ousness of the task which confronts them in the last three games on their schedule with such opponents as Yale Harvard and Colgate. in the order named Yale is, of course, the object of the weeks work and every man on the Brown squad has visions of repeating the victory of last year.

New Haven, Nov. 8.-For 20 minutes the Yale varsity rammed the scrub rush line yesterday with old-fashioned straight football, sending three touch downs over the line, each of the three members of the pony backfield, Ne vile, Carey and Stewart scoring once With, the exception of a 50-yard run by Quarterback Smith, all the ground gaining was limited to between and 10 yards.
 Right Tackle Galt has developed jaun'dice and will be unable to line up Saturday against Brown. Center Rush Callahan was given his position yes- terday, Hutchinson coming from fuH- back to center. The combination was not a success and today another can didate will be tried at guard, Calla- han will return to center and Hutch inson to the backfeld.

NEWARK ANXIOUS TO
 GET DAVE SHEAN FOR
 LEADER OF BALL CLUB

Newark, Nov. 8.-In looking about for a pilot to guide the Newark Iii gers the owners of the club have thrown the searchlight upon Provi- dence. In the Rhode Island city the searching discovered Davie Shean, the very man wanted. Davie is the prop erty of the Providence Grays, but might welcome a chance to make a change in case his release could be secured.
 Before official announcement of the retirement of Fred Penney was made known by President James Price, it was rumored that the local club want ed young player-manager and one who had had experience in handling players. Shean is able to fill the bill.

BETTING ON HARVARD.

The betting in New York favors Harvard to beat Princeton at Cam bridge next Saturday. At the begin ming of the season Princeton was re- garded as likely to, beat both Yale and the Crimson but the Tigers have not shown much in recent games. The skill of Coach Haughton is the princi- pal reason why Harvard is favored.
 We'll posted sportsmen say Haugh- ton has taught his men an attack which will be good enough to score. It is not figured that Princeton has the punch The Tigers are expected to depend on a kicking game, relying on a tumble or some other break or luck to give them a chance for victory. Although Harvard's material is not up to the usual standard, criticis are sure the Crimson boys will know more football than their opponents. The betting before the game is likely to be 10 to 6 on Harvard.
 George Brickley. brother of Charley Brickley of Harvard fame, is likely to enter Springfield Y. M. c. A. college. He attended Trinity college last year and several colleges protested him on the ground that he had played pro- fessional baseball. He was not alolw- ed to play football this season. Brick ley is a star in both football and base ball.
 Coach Dobie of the Washington State University eleven, one of the strongest teams in the country doesn't nlince any words when asked for his opinion. When somebody wanted to know why he assigned Murphy, tackle, to call the signals Dobie re- piled, "He has the brains and the oth- CTS haven't"
 The Brown eleven has scored 21O points this season but the trouble is that the Providence collegians have played no really strong teams except Rutgers It is a hard proposition to meet Yale and Harvard on succeeding Saturdays as Brown must do.
 Manager Leavy of the Blue Ribbon basketball team expects to have Beck man in the lineup when the. locals play Patterson in the second Inter State league contest here next Tues day. The Ribbons go to Stamford Saturday night.

 The two big elevens of Harvard and Princeton are ready for their annual battle on the gridiron at the Stadium here Nov. II. This will be the first big clash among the big eastern teams, and the eyes of the football fans are centefed on the outcome. Picking a winner is a hard proposi- ton at this time, as the elevens are so evenly matched Some weeks ago Princeton was ruling favorite, but since Harvard took Cornell into camp and showed such brilliant football without revealing her real strength the experts have some doubt as to whether Princeton will defeat the Crimson.

Question Of Owning Street Railway
System Discussed.

System Discussed.
At the meeting Of the Board OF
City Commissioners last night, con
siderable special business was dis
posed of, aside from the regular rou-
tine work required of the board.
A petition was presented by prop
erty owners on C street, southeast,
asking that proper resolutions be
drawn and passed by the board to
pave that portion of c street south
east from Anderson street to First
avenue.
The regular monthly bills against
the city were audited and allowed.
Thomas Norman and John f. Eas-
ley appeared before the board and
offered the street ra.i'cay property,
recently purchased by Mr.. Easley,
provided the city would vote the nee
essary bonds to put the property in
operation.
The matter was taken under ad-
visement and viii be acted upon with
in the next few days. There is a
growing sentiment that the city
should own this property, and it is
believed there would be little opposi-
ton to voting The necessary bonds
for this purpose at this time. The
general public desires very much to
have the line in operation, and be-
fore they would consent to its re-
moval, it is believed they would be
willing to vote the necessary bonds
TO put it in operation.
The question will be settled, one
way or the other, within few days,
