NEW, CENTER FOR HARVARD PICKED BY COACH AAuGhT0N

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 17.-Har-
 vard's\ football prospects Nfor the last
 six weeks of the season seemed more hopeful yesterday afternoon. when
 there was a wholesale return of crip-
 ples to Soldiers Field. With the ex-
 ception of Thatcher, one of the Var sity backs, who did not report at all, all five of the Varsity regulars who could not play againSt North Carolina
 were on the field.
 They were not in playing clothes. but the coaches believe that by the end of
 the week they will have practically their full force working again and will
 be able to do considerable hard play ing in preparation for Cornell on Oct. 28. Sweetser and Gamer, two of the tackles, were out, and the latter was able to get into the lineup for the long signal drill, and both will be able to scrimage later. Dick Harte was al- lowed the day off since he is very much on edge. Except for knee in
 juries to Snow and Lowell, however, Harvard did not suffer in Saturdays game.
 Percy Haughtop, who saw his first game of the season oh Saturday,
 worked with the first team, which was composed of c. Coolidge and Ph1nney, ends; Batchelder and Gamer. tackles; Dadmun and Day, guards, Thorndike, center; Robinson, quarter, and Hor- ween, Hitchcock, and Casey in the back field. Leo Leary put in his time with the
 ends, while Haughton\ directed the
 team work and all of the other assist ant coaches worked on individual players. The placing of Thorndike at centre is possibly a step toward the
 final lineup, since the coaches have not been satisfied either with the work
 of Harris or Sagar. Thorndfke is
 green, but he's strong and aggressive.

A Deadly Weapon.

7 There is a horriAle weapon favored by certain of the hill tribes in the Ghauts of western Asia, which con- sists of four sharp, curved blades hid den under the fingers and securely held in place by rings passing over two of them. With such . contrivance Shi- vajL the Maratha hero. is credited with having disembows4ed his Mo hammedan overlord when -mak1ng a pretense of rendering him his humble submission.

well as that of Thursdays sad and sodden windup, tells the painful truth more forcibly than word picture could. If the strength of the rival leagues is to be measured by the class of their champions, then the Tener ring will need a whole lot of new material to place it on a par with that bossed by Big Ban. Brooklyn made a miserable showing in the series just closed; a miserable showing because of the fact that it refused to fight when behind. This striking difference was manifested from beginning to end in the 1916 blue ribbon event.

DOC CRANOALL OF
 GIANTS FAME HAS HAD FINE CAREER

Otis Cranda11, long the champion pinch pitcher of the big show, will Celebrate his\ \twenty-eighth birthday to-day. "Old Doc" started the 1916 season with the St. Louis Americans, as a relic of the Feds, but he couldn't pass muster with Fielder Jones and last June he was shipped off to the Oakland club of the Coast league. Crandall was born in Indiana, and started his professional career with Cedar Rapids. Ia., ten years ago. Me- Graw got him in 1908, and with the Giants he became famous by giving first aid to faltering twirlers. Otis spent practically all his time "warm- ing up" and was always ready to go in when McGraw sent out the s. O. s. Otis did very we'll with the St. Louis Feds last year, winning twenty-one tc fifteen lost.
 Kid Mccoy, the old time middle weight champion, is fqfty-three years old today. The Kids ling career ex- tended over nearly a score of years but apparently he hasn't got all the fight out of his system yet. When Uncle Sam called for men to protect the Mexican border Norman Selby- to give him his real name-was among the first to respond to the summons. Failing to get any action in Texas, the Kid is now threatening to cross the pond and lick the Ger man army. The Kid has always been fellow who was willing to try any, thing once, and, between fights, he has followed about every known pro- fession and business, and invented a few new lines.
