"My fellow countrymcn:
MANY circumstances have recently

our great government the embodi-
ment

 Robinson was in charge of the team. and had the regular backs, Thatcher, Horween, and Casey, this being the combination that will be groomed to start the game against Al Sharpe's Comedians. With the ex- ception of Half Back Bond. Haughton will have the services Of all his best material and while some of the stars will be held back on Saturday, all can be used if necessary. The Grim son will work lot on offense this week, intending to put on a much more varied attack than was used against Cornell year ago.
 The defense will also be built, the scouts having kept close track of Cor nelps advancement this fall It is ex- pected that because of the poor work the Ithaca end rushes have been do- ing this season that Harvard will open it's play more than in any pre- vious game.
 The rush line candidates were join ed by two good men, Parker, one of the freshmen line mer sast fall, will be tried at tackle, and Lancaster, from the second team, is a good guard. He was the most active line man on the second team last fall. These two players have been with the troops in Texas and have returned in prime condition to play football.

living down the evils created by the Federal league. In the two years fight against the Feds club owners went far out of bounds in money mat ters, They were forced to create a false standard of values. They not only paid enormous salaries, but they paid too high prices for players, and the whole scheme will have to be ad justed before the game gets back to a normal setting.
 Most of the big contracts which were signed in the Federal league days expire this year and next. Most of them were for three years. It is certain they will never be renewed for anything near the present figures. One club has already planned to make a cut of 30 per cent. in war time con- taracts,a while others will make similar reductions, no doubt.
 There are a few ball players who are worth $10.000 or $15, ,OO0 a year, but you can count them on the fingers of your two hands. To be worth that much a player must have a strong enough personality to be a drawing card at the gate in addition to being a good player.

PLAYERS WILL
GET SALARY CUTS.
Club Owners Set on Reducing Salaries
 Before Next Year.

No one likes to be under fire, but some of the far-seeing baseball men are frank enough to admit that the criticism of certain features Of the recent worlds championship games, while rather severe, will help to bring about some much needed baseball re- forms.
 For one thing, it is almost certain now that there will be a general cut ting down of salaries this winter. The mercenary spirit the players showed in the worlds Series when they made thinly yelled charges that the na- tional commission and the club own CTS were not giving them a square deal on the ticket sale, served to crystalize sentiment for a reduction all along the line. It will be hard blow for the athletes, but it was sure to come.
 As one club owner put it recently: 'The ball players are letting money madness carry them away. Of course, they are in the game for money, but there was a time when they appeared to make it a secondary consideration and showed some love for the sport itself
 'But big purses and big money in every department of the game have tended to ruin the spirit of the play some of the club owners. It has simply got to be stopped"
 Everyone wants to see the players get their share. The players in the worlds series probably thought they had a just complaint, but they chose a bad time to make a complaint on money matters, when every move of the series was being closely watched Their charges left a bad odor to the series.
 But the incident merely served to crystalize sentiment. The club own CTS have been set on reducing sal aries. They merely wanted an excuse, and the worlds series incident suf- feed to put the plan in motion
 As a matter of fact, baseball is in a condition that frequently exists in the stock market, it's values are high ly inflated. Particularly the salary lists are too big, for while one or two clubs in each league can make money, the others must go on losing from year to year. The magnates must squeeze some of the water out of their stocks, as it were.
 Baseball for the past year has been

Cridiron Sport Gaining in Favor
Elimination of Mass Play Makes Football More Popular Than Ever-Record Crowds Expected at Big Games This Year Open Game Has Made Big Hit With Lovers of Foot ball.

Intercollegiate football will involve a greater number of players and will draw larger crowds this fall than ever before. The popularity of the grid iron sport has been growing steadily since the rule makers eliminated brutality until the present interest exceeds the fondest hopes of the men who have helped to save the game. It is estimated that more than 2O.- 900 young men are members of col out the United States. More than B9 colleges and probably 1000 schools are playing the game in cities and towns from the Atlantic to the Pacific. At least 5000 games are scheduled, including the battles be- that more than 5000, 900 persons will attend as spectators.
 Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Pennsylvania, and the universities in Chicago and other Western cities will enjoy enormous prorits. Harvard, for example. will take in nearly $200,000 for the games played in the Cambridge Stadium. Harvard's strug gle with Cornell a week from Satur- day will probably draw $60,000. while $80,000 will be paid to see the Grim sons game with the Princeton Tigers. Bowl on November 25, is expected to attract 70,000 persons at $2 each, this gate money to be equally divided. Yale will play to at least $70,000 at Princeton on November IS. while the receipts at the Polo grounds in New York, when the Army and Navy clash there on November 25 will reach $50, 900, exclusive of 30,000 seats which will be distributed by the rival academies.
 Football in the schools has been rapidly developed. The players are not compelled to stand the rigorous

training methods that prevail in col leges. hence they are able to go through the campaign comparatively free from serious injuries. The youngsters are well coached by paid instructors 50 that when they enter college they have an excellent idea of the intricaoies of the game. It is their ambition to shine as varsity men and naturally n majority of them are eager to become students at the 'big'' institutions. AS a result some of the scholastic elevens com prise players of unusual quality who are bound to become famous on col lege gridirons. Varsity coaches this year say that the freshmen who have just left the scholastic ranks possess more than ordinary football ability, which means that the big elevens will have many valuable recruits next year.
 Hostility to the gridiron game has been greatly diminished. Brute strength, which was an important factor in former years, has given way to speed and quick thinking. The open game, produced largely by the forward pass, has become immensely popular. Punting and drop kicking are features that are doubly import ant in obtaining results. When tls mass plays were abolished, football started to regain lost favor and the end is not yet.

The Harvard football eleven is working earnestly for the Cornell game Saturday. Coach Haughton, who saw many encouraging points in the match against Massachusetts State College Saturday, spent the earlier part of the afternoon outlining the teams offensice work for the coming of the Ithacans, and then took the squad to the field, where practically all the work was on signals.
 The squad is now in better physical trim than it has been for some time. while both Clark and Gamer were pretty much banged up in Saturdays game both were on the field but their places on the Harvard forward line
