That the Baseball Players Fraternity

a revision Of the "injury clause" in

public to-day by President David L..

"Mr. Johnson is reported TO have said
in a recent interview that the frater-

League clubs Of suspending injured
players without pay. Either Mr.. John

right to 30 misuse players If they saw

moved.
"Mr. johnson made a somewhat heat

and said he had demanded of us the

has made no such demand. Mr.. Herr

HARVARD FINDS
MURRAY A STAR
AT QUARTERBACK
Showing Against Virginia Booms
His StOck-WiIlcox Proves
Valuable
By BRIGGS

Boston, Nov. 5.-The Harvard foot
ball team came through the Virginia
game without serious mishap, and to-
morrow will settle down to work again
for Princeton. The regular rush line
showed a lot of power and cohesion
while it played against the Virginians,
and the first set of backs. Bond. Minot
and Hitchcock, were handled splendid
ly by Murray, whose stock as quarter
back is booming high.
Snow, who has been at right guard
lately, was hurt Saturday. Clark, the
regular man, was on the left wing in
Dadmun's place. where he has been
during the Harvard leaders absence
from scrimmage play. Whether Clark
will remain at left guard and Dadmun,
when he returns this week, will go to
the right wing is matter only for
conjecture.
Sweetser and Wheeler both played
great football at the tackles against
the Southerners, and IL they keep in
shape Gamer will not get back into the
game, except as substitute, for some
time yet. Bonds work after long
absence was encouraging, while Minot,
although his kicking was only fair, did
some good all-round work.
Willcox's open field speed was tho
prettiest seen at Cambridge in years,
and while he will not be one OF the
men to start either OF the big games
he surely has developed into valuable
man.
TEACHERS defence while he was in
the game was splendid, and he and
Casey seem sure Of their places. To
pick the other back, now that Horween
is temporarily out of the running. will
be one of the hardest tasks the coaches
will have this week

The next two positions went to George
Williams. a clubmate, and Eddie Far

The latter held the lead up to the first

Of the Washington and New York con-

herein prescribed, the club may de-
duct from the amount then due, or TO
become due under this contract, such

MOORE'S RETURN
TO TIGER ELEVEN
PLEASES COACHES
Only Three More Scrimmages
Will Be Held Before the
Harvard Game

Princeton, n. j., Nov. with only
about three more scrimmages before
the Harvard game, Princeton's hardest
practice for the year is over. Unless
some one is hurt in one OF those work
outs, the Nassau team will face Har-
ward with only one varsity man, Eber-
stadt, unable to play. He is recover
ing from his injury and may be able to
appear against Yale.
Bucknell did not prove so strong an
opponent as might have been wished
for just before the big games, but Coach
Rush was better satisfied with Prince
tons play than in the Dartmouth gam"
a week ago. Moore's return to the line
up has caused n general sigh of salts
faction among the coaching stat. lie
Is one Of the fastest men playing foot
ball in the East, and his speed is ex-
pccted TO count against Harvard and
Yale.
Captain Hogg and Mclean, who had
rest last week, should be in better
shape now. Neither of them was in
jured, but they took day or two of to
keep from going stale. No Princeton
injuries were incurred in the Buckneli
game, although several OF the Lewis
burg players were laid out
Ames, varsity quarterback, who was
out all last week. has recovered, and
will be on the field tomorrow. Eddy
seems almost certain TO start as pilot
against Harvard, but Ames will play
good part of the game, and Comey may
get chance, 100.
The team will probably start for
Cambridge on Friday, stopping of
somewhere on the way for n practice.
With Eddy to run the team and run
back punts, briggs and Tibbott to kick,
and these three, with Moore, to do the
ground gaining, the Tiger backfield
looks stronger than at any time this
season.
