BROOKLYN FANS INDIFFERENT
 OVER ATHLETIC SERIES
Superbas Do Not Think the Project
 Sounds Good.

Connie Mack fain would have his Athletics travel with the Brooklyn Su- perbas this spring, playing exhibition dates in training. The project does not sound good. The Athletics were joke last year in the American Lea que, and the Superbas were dismal affairs in the Worlds Series. If those two teams went gal1ivanting around the country they would hardly prove thrilling attraction that would cause the Standing room only' signs to be- come faded from constant exposure to the weather, writes Tom Rice in the Brooklyn Eagle.
 If the SuDerbas were continually to beat the Athletics in the exhibitions, the fans would remark that nothing else could be expected when major league champions were playing the worst major leage team in history On the other hand, if the Athletics with new blood. added, should throw the years experience behind them and hooks. into the Superbas, the latter would be made to look ridiculous and the effect would last all season. It would be as disastrous as the seven straight defeats the Chicago Cubs suffered at the hands of the Phillies in Florida last spring and that was disastrous.
 The Superbas playing such a tour ing exhibition with the Athletics would be a case of the National League falling into an American League trap. On its past petform- ances in the Worlds Series, particular ly the last series, the American League has gained enormous prestige at the expense of it's older rival. A continuation of the Superbas and the Athletics might add to that pres tibe, and further lower public opinion of the National League.
 Such a schedule between the Super bas and Athletics would be exactly on a par with Jess Willard fightin Jack Dil19n. If Jess beat Jack he would get no credit whatever, while if Jack 1 beat Jess, the heavyweight champion would become the laughing stock of l the country and would have to seek 1 a lodge in some vast wilderness.

(special to The Bulletin.)


 Hamilton, N. Y.. Nov. 28.-Adverse weather conditions forced the Colgate football management to move it's train ing camp to Mansfield, Mass, on Sun day last The Thanksgiving day en- counter with Brown is a radical de- parture from Colgate's usual custom of closing the season with the annual game at Syracuse. generally played on the second Saturday of November.
 Squad in Fine Condition.
 All the members of the Colgate squad are in good condition, and doubtless will line up against Brown as they have in other important games of the season. In Frye, end, and Watkins, back, the Maroon has two dependable substitutes wko vii. give a good ac count of themselves if called on to work Thursday. The records of the two teams, Colgate with one defeat and Brown as yet unbeaten, assures a battle royal. and with both teams in excellent physical condition the hetter team should come through the victor.

DARCY HAS FIGHTER
 TO BEAT WILLARD.
Thinks Jim Tracy Can Wrest Laureis
 From the Champion.

Pugilism's outstanding feature is the over estimate placed by noted boxers on the ability ot other fighters. That a man of undolbted skill who has captured a title and who has been through all the mazes of the game cannot properly guage the merits of another boxer is astonishing. Yet it is proved true by several of the most prominent boxers In the world. Per sonal friendship may account for some of the complimentary opinions, but not all or them.
 Tommy Ryan, one of the best mid dleweights of all time, declared that Hugo Kelly, boxer of mediocre skill, would succeed tp the title of the class, but Kelly never got anywhere near the championship. Kelly, how ever, was troubled with his shoul- ders, which may be the reason.
 Joe Cans. the old master, picked George MeTnsic, a second rAter, as successor to the title. Memsic failed Jim Jeffries selected Marvin Hart as the next heavyweight champion, but Tommy Burns upset that prediction

MAY ASK FOR REST
 BETWEEN BIG GAMES.
Vale Now in Position to Enjoy Ad- vantage Which Has Aided Harvard.

Several points which demand atten- ton are included among the aftermath of the Yale Harvard game. First of all, it would seem that Yale is now in a position to seek some relief from the triangular ara ngement with Princeton and Harvard by which the Crimson has the advantage of two weeks rest between the games against Nassau~and the Ellis, says the New YorE Post
 Harvard has enjoyed this fortnight iy period of recuperation for several years, and despite the outcome of Saturdays contest, there is small doubt that an eleven which enjoys a two weeks interval between her championship games is more than likely to hold a decided edge on the team that plays q big game on one Saturday and follows it with another seven days la1er. The feeling> that the present order was not to be broken until one of the two universities which have suffered from the handi- the victor's throne is not a tribute to the good understanding and spirit of fairness among the three universities. It might occur to the man in the street that Yale, for example, need not have awaited a triumph over Harvard to request, or demand, more equable treatment concerning the arrangement of games. But, since the Blue has waited, the time has now come for her to speak with no uncertain voice, de- manding that to which in all fairness she is entitled. Yale can do even more; she can bring about an entire readjustment of this triangular game question, thereby obviating for all time the flaw which has always narred the otherwise perfect sportsmanship existing among the three contra cting universities.

FRED D. POLLARD
 IS A STAR PLAYER.
Negro Made Football Eleven First
 Season Gut.

Probably no football player is causing more discussion today than Fred D. Pollard, Browns sensational halfback. Because af his brilliant play in both the Yale and Harvard games on successive Saturdays, Brown de- feated two of the casts biggest col leges. There are critics who discuss the clever negro from an adverse standpoint, but any man who can get out there on the Sridiron and pull off the stunts that Pollard has shown in the last two weeks must nave few good points. Yale players think so, and the chances are that Harvard figures it the same way. s~
 This marvel of the football world entered the Providence institution Of learning unheralded, unsung and un- known. Reporting fo- football prac- tice few days after he had matricu- lated, he attracted the attention of the coaches, but even Ned Robinson, who has about as keen 8 nose for promis- ing material as any general in the game, did not dream that in the dusky athlete he was to develop one of the sensations of the season.
 For several days Pollard went
 through the routine drill with the
 scrub talent, but, as modest today as
 he was then, he never put his best foot forward until given a chance to
 play halfback with the second team. in a game With Worcester academy at
 Worcester. The things he did to the
 academy boys are stiIi remembered
 wildly.
 The next day Pollard was taken in
 tow by Coach Robinson and given a
 place on the varsity training table. Winning a steady berth at halfback on the first eleven was about the easi- est thing Pollard has ever done. In
 less than a week he had the job .clinched and he has been a regular
 ever since. 'i.s,E7
 Pollard is rated the greatest half back ever turned out at Brown and so
 brilliant is his work on offense that the critics often lose sight of his
 greatness on defense, a department in which he stands without a peer in the opinion of the Brown coaching staff. In addition to being a football celeb rity, Pollard holds high rank as a l hurdler and at present is the custo- dian of the New England Amateur seconds for the 60 yard hurdles in- l doors. He has topped the barriers in 1 the 225 yard run in 25 seconds. Pollard is not as brilliant in the | class rooms as he is on the athletic field, but he is plugser. and a con cellent in chemistry, a study in which l he stands unusually high, and above l the average in biological courses, for Pollard is laying the foundation at Brown for medical work and after his 1 four years there will enter either liar | yard or Columbia Medical school. Pollard is a gentleman of color but l he is also a gentleman in all that the term implies. Modest and unassum- i ing. he always shrini1s from the spot 1 light at aiI athletic demonstrations and that is one of the principal req sons why Pollard is a real hero at Providence.

Indifference changed to delight when the many advantages of the lake were thorities are gloating over their find. Considerable credit for this is due to Frank H. Gates of Ansonia who as representative of the Board of Trade, the city of Derby and the Shelton Chamber of Commerce, work, ed persistently. and as the result shows, successfully to open the eyes of Yale rowing authorities to the excellen course they might have at their disposal for the asking.
 From all sides now in Yale rowing circles comes enthusiastic praise of the course Before he salied last We'd nesday for England, where he will spend the winter Coach Guy Nicha1ls called the course on the Housatonic as the best in America Yale's row ing committee apparently coincides ln this conviction. Assistant Coach Abbott said that it would be impossi- ble to improve on the course. He said that Princeton and Cornell were re- iuctant to accept the course for the triangular regatta with Yale. Re- gardless of this fact Yale will adopt the lake for permanent course. It IS pTODdbl6 LIldL IH0 ODJeCt1OnS OI Princeton and Cornell will vanish when their representatives view it. The chief reasons these two universi~ ties are not ready to accept Yale's course seems to be that they live the idea of having the regatta on home waters. Formerly Yale had no hofne course available for big races and therefore had always to be the wis., itor. Yet she might have at any time since the electric cars and automo- J. piles made the question of travel a simple one.

POLLARD PRAISED
 BY SPRAckLlNG.
Former Brown Star Thinks Negro
 Good for AdI-American Eleven.

If Fred Pollard fails to make the Al-American team this year." said Earl Sprackling,. himself an All American quarterback a few years ago, "then it will be because the experts are all color blind" which sums the situation in regard to Brown univer- sity's star halfbach up neatly and completely.
 Brown, under the direction of Fred Robinson, Earl Sprackling and Buck Whittemore, is moulding into shape what the students and alumni of rhe Providence institution believe to be the best football eleven in her history.
 She is moulding the eleven for an onslaught on Harvard on Saturday that is hoped will result in victory and the eastern ampionship. Fred Pollard is the star of the Brown eleven. Pollard is a Chicago negro.
 That is why the words of Spra cklins are so nointed. Of all the backs in the east this year, only Oliphant of the Army has a more formidab1e rec ord than Pollard. Will he gain All American honors?o
 Fred Pollard is not a big man, as many have pictured him. In fact, he is just five feet six inches tall and weighs 1855 pounds. He is an ebony skinned Eddie Casey.
 He is just Casey's size and weight
 He plays much the same kind of a game as the Harvard star, too. If anything. he is a little faster than Eddie.
 Brown is as proud of Fred Pollard as she is of her unbeaten record Ike | is well-mannered young boy, and a great football player.
 Pollard comes from the Lane Tech nicaI High school of Chicago. He is | just 21 years old sTIa hopes to study medicine at Harvard when he gradu- ates from Brown Ills brother, Leslie Pollard, played at Dartmouth few years ago..
 The young negro is working his way l through Brown. He runs a tailoring | shop in his room and has several other negro students iE his employ.

Both Eievens on Edge for Today's
 Game.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2e.--The Cornell and University of Pennsylvania fcot- ball squads held their final practice drills today in preparation eor.tomor- rows contest cn~ Franklin field. The lthacans were drilled for three hours at Atlantic City, where they will re- main until tomorrow morning. Penn sylvania worked out on the lawn of the, WEite Marsh Country, club get ting valuable training in handling the wet and soggy ball on the rain soaked turf. Rain fell here all day and was still falling tonight, promising a wet gridiron tomorrow.
 The teams are expected to line up with the same players as opposed Michigan in their respective games with that institution. and as each was victorious against the Wolverines, a close contest is anticipated More than 50.e00 applications for seats were received, nearly twice the capacity. of the field.

The All-Collegians will have their final practice this morning on Laurel Hill park, when Manager Coyle will run his team through a brief rehearsal of signals. Iu an eleventh-hour switch Frank MurIha of Trinity, who has been playing class football all fall and who was former N. F. A. gridiron star, has replaced Gebrath at end. Gill; hooley, also from the Capital City, who played sensational game last Thanksgiving against the Academy, will undoubtedly be in the backheld for the fray and arc now awaiting in hopes that Jupiter Pluvius forgets to call today. In an event of a slippery field, Manager Coyie realizes the fact that the schbolboys will have the slight advantage, while on the other hand, if the field is dry, he is confi- dent that his running mates will sneak away the baco,; with hands tied.
 Manager Coyle and Captain Robin son, after dellberating over the punt ing question, have selected Eddie Mur- ray. the dashing Trinity hahback, to do the honors.. Murray punts on the average 20 yards and has gained fame by his wonderful drop kicking ability. Murray as well a.s being a long dis tance punter sends his punts soaring in the air, enabling his ends to get down, and with such ends as Murtha and Coyle chasing them, the Academy boys have got to go some to get away.
 Coach Mckay drilled the Academy in their final practice Wednesday af- ternoon ond is confident that they will pull through with the big end of the score, although Coach Mckay. realizes that his team is going up, against a hot proposition and a team that will fight to the last. Coach Mckay did not give out an official lineup We'd nesday, as he was undecided on one position, but it is thought that the lineup will be the same as in previous games.

VALE ADOPTS DERBY COURSE.
University Boat Club Takes Over Housatonic Lake as Permanent Course.

Yale has finally decided to adopt the two mile stretch on the Housa- tonic lake. just above Derby, as it's permanent rowing course. The de- ference between Assistant Coach Ab- bolt of the Yale University Boat club, V. B. Clarke. city engineer of Derby, and John J. Mahoney Of the Housatonic Park and Boating com pany MT. Abbott visited the lake glneer authority to have the course in shape for rowing by next spring.
 The decision to make the Housa- tonic Yale's permanent home course 1n place of New Haven harbor was arrived at by the rowing committee after witnessing the race of the var sity crews and looking over the many advantages of the lake one week. ago. last Saturday. MT. 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.
 It is understood that the uni-
 versity 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 It
 for the boat house than the one that
 1t IS said. has been practically decid-
 ed upon. It is right on the trolley
 line. but still there is plenty of room between Housatonic avenue and the
 river bank for a good sized building,
 and enough space for parking auto mobiles. The front of the building would look out upon the lake. SThe water at this point is deep enough to allow the float to be anchored very
 near the shore and it would be but a short distance from the boathouse down an inclined way to the float.
 Engineer V. B. Clarke was given instructions by MT. Abbott to lay out a two mile course on the lake, the start to be near the Derby Country little distance further south than the one which was used this fall. as the finish will be about 600 feet above l the dam instead of at the Housatontc l pavilion. This is planned in order to have the finishing line directly in The engineer is to stake the course i at each quarter mile, placing the stakes along the banks in conspicuous places. He is also to lay out three
 lanes for as many crews during a
 race. As there are two curves of
 and turning in opposite directions, there will be no appreciable adyant- age of position to any one shell dur ing a race. MT. Clarke expects to do the necessary surveying for lay- ing out the course on the ice this
 winter, as it will be much easier to get his measurements and angles when the lake is frozen over.
 When first suggested, the course
 above the dam on the Housatonic was looked upon with slxepticism and | laughed at by the rowing authori- | ties of Yale, but now, in the same circles, there is not a single objection
 offered to the new WAREHOUSES. Last
