the Harvard coaches would allow little
rough play on the hard ground in

When the locals&> faced Hartford
High on November 4, lack of practice
Icaused many to be sanguine over the
prospects of victory, but the%>athor-
ough manner in which the boys pol
Ished off their rivals increased the
hopes for the championship I'M
mediately the work of getting the
team in shape for tomorrow's game
WAS started, and Coach Brown has
spent considerable time in drilling the
Boys against some of the flaws that
were noticeable 80 on that occasion In
last Saturdays game with Enfield
High, a complete reversal of the team
work was noticeable, and although
Ehe upstate boys were a very weak
opponent, the home lads showed that
the teachings of the coach are being
Rdhered to closely.
The varied difference in the en-
counters of the locals and the Elm
city eleven against Hartford, has
caused some to fear that Captain
Connolly and his pets are in for a
hard battle tomorrow. It is true that
the locals score was far in the rear
of that rolled up by Captain Rice's
boys against the Capitol city team,
but to those who witnessed the game
from this city in New Haven last Sat
urday, saw many occasions where the
element Of luck favored the victors.
The home team will be outweighed
at least three to four pounds to the
man but the speed and intricate
plays dof New Britain is expected to
! pffsetAthis- disadvantage. Coach Brown
was one Of the spectators at the Hart
ford-New Haven game, and he is very
confident of the ability of his charges
TO romp home victorious by at least
two touchdowns. In discussing the
merits of both teams at the close OF
last Saturdays game, Coach George
Brickley Of Hartford gave as his
opinion that New Britain should wiz
by score of 80 to O.
There will be several changes in the
makeup of the team from that which
started Hartford game, Johnny Bar
ton whose worg has been bright fea
ture for several weeks has clinchet
quarterback question. Robb the hero
of Hartford game will be found a
eullback supplanting Dixon who ha
been shifted to the line. The com
p1ete lineup is as follows: Ends
Hubbard and Woodward; tackles
Dixon and Johnson; guards, William
and Peterson; Quarterback, Barton
halfbacks, Captain Connolly and Nc
Christy; fullback, Robb. In the even
of the game being a kicking contest
Dyson will probably be called upo1
for drop kicking, Robb will handl
the punting while Bradley will q

PLAYERS PREPARE
FOR STRIKE CALL
Fraternity Plans to Tie Up Base
ball il Requests Are Refused

New York, Nov. 17.-Trouble be-
tween baseball players and club
owners may be the aftermath Of tire
refusal of the minor league delegates
now in New Orleans to give the
Players Fraternity requests any con-
sideration. While President F'ultz Of
the fraternity would talk only indi-
rectly on the National Associations
rundown, it is known that the fra
ternity already has considered it's y It
action.
1t also is known that there have
been several recent conferences
among players prominent on ~~1e
board of directors of the fraternity
and they are solid behind Fultz. A
campaign of retaliation already has
! been mapped out and a strike among
the leading major and minor league
players next spring is q strong posi-
bility
F'ultz said yesterday that the fra
| ternity expected the National Asso-
citation to reject it's demands afteI
noting interviews granted by members
of the National Commissioners
Johnson and August HERMANN the
past fortnight. '.st
1--WE did not think the National AS
account" said Fultz yesterday. 1--WE
knew if the association would do any,
thing it must come from the powers
above. For that reason a copy of our
requests also was sent to the National
Commission"
F'ultz Spars for Time. @.

about it officially and have a little
time to think it over before I commit
myself on our future course" said
Fultz. "It doesn't do to jump to con.
clusions." ~.
1t has been argued that with the
elimination of the Federal league the
fraternity has lost it's power, but
Fultz has q bigger hold on the players
, than ever before. They have banded
themselves together more firmly than
before the Fed war to guard against
any big fcuts in the new contracts,
Fultz has a written agreement in his
office from every member of the fra
; ternity in which the player has agreed
not to enter into any contract for 1917
until such time as the consent of the
fraternity officers had been obtained,
: With the exception of about twenty
} five players who still hold ironclad
contracts for 1917 all the major league
players will be called upon to sign
new contracts shortly. Lawyers fol
the big leagues are now drawing UP
new contracts and it has been re-
ported the new documents will be

q that organized baseball is contem-
plating such contracts
Contracts Not Equitable

YALE TEAM chosen
TO BATTLE TIGER
Vance Mccormick on Hand to
Watch Eli Work

New Haven, Nov. 17.-Yale's team
as it will face Princeton tom orrow
practically was decided upon yester-
day afternoon when the coaches sent
the pick Of the varsity squad through
a long signal drill. The team doubt
less will face the Tigers in this or
der:
Left end, Moseley; left tackle,
Gates; left guard, Black; center, CAL
lahan; right guard, Fox; right tackle,
Baldridge; right end, Comerford;
quarterback, Smith, left halfback,
Neville; right halfback, LeGore; full
back, Jacques.
Following the signal drill the team
practiced giving protection for it's
drop lickers and also practiced break
ing through on kicks. There was no
scrimmage, and as there was none to-
day the scrimmaging this week used
up just twenty minutes. Braden and
I,eGore did the drop kicking yester-
day and Braden got over many a goal
from points inside of the 40 yard line.
LeGore was not in good condition yes
terday.
Vance G. Mccormick, .Yale's captain
in 1892 and one of the best backs Yale
ever had, and who during the recent
campaign was democratic national
chairman, was in the bowl yesterday
in the capacity of a Yale coch. He
gave it as his opinion that the Yale
team is a very good one, and he ex-
poets something in the returns from
Princeton next Saturday afternoon.
The Yale team will leave for New
York this evening at 6:51.
Princeton, N. j., Nov. 17.-Con-
trary to the general expectation
Coach Rush did not scrimmage the
Tiger eleven yesterday afternoon. 1t
generally was thought that Rush
would take advantage of the fact that
the game with Yale was still two days
off to run his team through the last
practice scrimmage Of the year. In
stead, however, he contented himself
with drilling the team in the new
plays he has taught them since the
Harvard contest and after he and Ed
die Hart had run the eleven up and
down the field for a little more than
an hour he sent the players to the
field house. The scrubs received a
good deal of the coachs attention aft
er the varsity had left the field. There
was u scrimmage between the second
and third teams until dark
Dave" Tibbott again made his ap-
pearance in uniform and spent the
greater part of the afternoon at drop
every angle of the field. He had most
success from the 20 yard line. Above
this distance he was a trihe erratic.
