Graw The leader of the Giants has
deferred his vacation trip in order to
appear at the inquiry. which will be
conducted in this city on Decem-

.McGraw is prepared to give excel
lent reasons why he left the bench
on October 8. declaring that some of
the Giants had disobeyed his oredrs.
He will make II clear that. In his
opinion. his players were not actu-
sted by dishonest motives, but simply
refused to play the game up to the
required standard.
MeGraw, according to his closest
friends, will offer in evidence a bum
die OF letters and kilograms received
by him for a week or ten DAYS be-
fore the final series with the Brook
lyns. in which It was pointed out that
unless the Giants won four straight
games, the honesty OF the sport
would be placed in Jeopardy.
He Urged Them On.
McGraw will testify that before the
game Of October 3 he addressed the
Giants In the clubroom at Ebbets
Field and urged them to play their
best. He offered to give each mem
Der OF the team a suit of clothes and
an overcoat. together with a cash

Also to prove that he personally did

and to absolve his men of the charge

on his original statement that the team

he did not care to be party to what

the air that made overcoats mighty
comfortable. gave Cambridge q double
dose of mixed weather today as this
town awaited the beginning OF the an
nual gridiron clash between Harvard
and Princeton.
Borne up by the knowledge that not
once has the Tiger goal felt the weight
of an alien foot this year and by the
more important fact that Princeton Is
represented by the best team to inhabit
old Nassau In years, Princeton students
and alumni are covering bets with reck-
less abandon.
Odds OF 10 to I and 10 to s on Harvard
were being offered and eagerly grabbed
up by the student contingent. Prince
ton is being given more than the GUS
tomary look-in against mighty John
Harvard. The Crimson is being made
the favorite largely because OF Percy
Haughton. The team which bowed be-
fore Tufts has been coming fast.
Going back into scores and COMPARE
sons. there Is little to give either team.
unless one leans to Harvard because of
Haughton. And this offset by the fact
that Princeton was able to put over a
victory on Tufts. whereas that little
school not only sent Harvard tumbling
early in the season. but scored full
sized touchdown.
Big three football games have a
habit of upsetting the dope bucket and
smearing the contents all over the
place. But this Is at least one time
when there is very little dope to spread
around.
