Tigers Worked Hard.

Princeton, N. J.. Nov. IA hard
 v orkout was in order for all the
 anem bers of the Tiger squad yester-
 day, and it was almost entirely dark Hwhen Coach Rush called a halt and fsent the players to the showers. For
 nearly three hours the varsity was sent through a long practice, which &included dummy scrlmmage, signal practice, and, then scrimmage. Four teams were used, and practically every candidate had an opportunity to show his worth at some time dur ling the practice.
 Several of the Tigers have not yet recovered from the bruises which Ithey received on Saturday, and sev Ieral new men were in the first team lineup as a, result. Ames was not out on the field today, as he is still suffer ling from the results of the contest, and Jack Eddy, although he was out on the field. was not allowed to take any part in active work Captain Hogg also had a rest, and viewed the york of his teammates from the side- lines None of the players is suffer ing any serious effects from the game against the Hanoverians, and the en- tire squad should be in condition by tomorrow or next day
 With the exception of Cyril Haas, who is now coming out in uniform there are no men who are suffering from injuries of a serious nature. Billy Moore, who was kept out of the game for over two weeks. was able to go into the Dartmouth game for few minutes, and is now taking his share of the daily hard workouts. He was on the field yesterday. but was kept On the second team most of the time. I,atrobe, who has been out of condi- tion for a number of days, is also rounding into shape, but he will find 2 harder struggle on his hands to get back his old berth at tackle.

New Haven, Nov. 1.-Harvey $. Reed, of Mercersburg, was elected captain of the Yale freshman cross country team yesterday afternoon. Reed is one of the fastest men on the, squad and probably one of the speeoiest in the whole university with the exception of Captain Johnny Ov- erton He will have a little more to do this year than previous freshman captains provided the wishes of Ov- erton are carried out and the yearl- ings actually hold their meet with Princeton.

WakefuI Watching.

These are serious and thoughtful days upon the campuses that surround Princeton and Yale.
 For some time the rumor has been prevalent that Houghton and Harvard this season were in the blighting throes of an off-year with no great hope of emerging this placid autumn.
 But it appears, according to the tes- tjmony offered from Ithaca, that the humor was grossly exaggerated.
 If Harvard is indulging in an off year, the word Off doesn't mean what Cornell thinks it does.
 So it happens in the wake of this Cornell affair both Princeton and Yale are taking very little stock in the alleged Crimson slump. In place of looking for fairly easy picking, they arc beginning to wonder if there is any chance at all of getting safely by.

Chicago Nov. 1.-B. B. Johnson, president of the American league, yesterday disputed the charge by David L. Fultz, president of the Base tall Players fraternity, that ball players in the American league were rot paid while apacitated through injuries received while playing. The charge was made by MT. Fultz re- gently in his demands for new con- ditions made on the National Com mission. Johnson today telegraphed F'ultz to produce the contracts or re- tract the charges.

Important Announcement
 Made to Smokers
High Quality of San Felice Cigars Maintained. Now Sell at SC Straight.


 Maintained. Now Sell at SC Straight. Owing to the greatly increased cost Of quality tobaccos in fact every thing pertaining to high grade cigars, rhe makers of the San Felice cigar, The Deisel- Wemmer company, have advanced the selling price to the Jobbers and Dealers. and henceforth this cigar will positively be sold to the consumer at cents straight in- stead of six for a quarter as pre- Iiously.
 The SAN FELICE is national in it's scope and character, having justly at talned this eminence through it's un- excelled excellence. To maintain this Unequaled standard Of duality. the advance in question is absolutely un- avoidable. The generous support of all men using quality cigars is earn estly desired.

The Annual Stymie.

The Annual Stym1e. The Tiger is a regal beast; The Bulldogs grip is fixed as Fate; Each yearns now for a noble feast With Haughton brought in on the
 plate, But as each saunters forth to bag The juicy prize amid the fray, The shadow of a Crimson flag Still falls across their right of way. The Bulldogs appetite is keen, Tie Tiger, too, is poised to strike; But something seems to come be-
 tween Their reeking fangs and what they
 like; Each creeps out from his chosen lair With head erect, in kingly pride And then-a shot rings on the air As Houghton bags another hide. Year after year the Blue guard swings Across the field to the attack; Year after year the war cry rings Above the Orange and Black; Alas! It is cruel world, A bitter one and unrefned; For each finds when the charge is
 hurled That Haughton has the highway
 mined.

One of the Best.

There is very little doubt now that Haughton, within another two weeks, will have machine about as power- full as any he has sent to battle. He hasn't a great line, but he has good one, and with Robinson, Casey, Hor- ween, Bond, Flower and Hitchcock he las a rare wealth of backfeld ma terial to carry on a hardy and pro-
 longed attack. Haughton has better backf1eld material than Princeton, be-
 yond a debate, and a greater quantity than Yale, despite the worth of Le

 Three hundred yards they may wal

 And I'll not admit defeat;
 But when putt after putt begins to fall Ny goat begins to bleat.
 Keeping a Haughtonized baseball team out of the pennant is one job. Iveeping a Haughtonized football team away from the top is another assign ment.
 Yale has stuck by her system or not dropping any eleven that was Vlc- torious the season before. Tad Jones has done this much, anyway-he has given Yale a chance to frame new schedule next fall if Yale should care to switch.
