When she was through giving the
sprinters a few pointers, and you
know Robby knows sprinting because
he was good one in his day, he
rushed to the jumping pits and went
over the bar at 5 feet inches, just
to start the thing. He went through
the various motions, and the jumpers

IT had to laugh when I saw Robby

Single Stick Work
Makes Hit at Y. M. G. A.


Any day at the Y M c. A gym
nasium groups of boys and men may
be seen drilling with the single stick.
Since the Introduction of this sport by
Robert Grasson, it has become very
popular. It's usefulness as defen-
slve weapon is appreciated by the boys
and they are working hard to perfect
themselves in the art. With a stout
cane, used in the way the boys are
taught, several opponents may be held
in check. The principal movements
are soon learned. Single stick work
has been given in all classes.
After developing a little ability in
single. stick work the desire is kindled
for more advanced work with the foil

NO CRITICISM OF
HARVARD SYSTEM
MADE BY BROWN

Providence, r. l.. Nov. 1S-The en-
tire Brown varsity squad of sixty-two
players left this city early this morn
ing for Boston. A lunch was served
at the Hotel Lennox and the players
took automobiles to Cambridge.
where the annual Harvard game will
be played at 2 o'clock.
Brown football officials are dis
pleased at the criticism aimed at Har-
ward for the announcement made that
certain substitutes would be In the
Harvard lineup.
Coach Robinson said yesterday: 1t
is none of Browns business whom
Harvard plays. We respect the right
of the Harvard coaches to send
whomever they please against US, and
the Brown players at least know that
they will face real eleven. Any
man who makes the Harvard football
squad is a real player and we'll we
know it, SO far as the Brown attn
letic association is concerned there
has been absolutely no criticism, and
I am very sure that none of this talk
emanate from this college,"

MULTIPLE KICK is
GRANTED APPROVAL
BY WALTER CAMP

New Haven, Nov. 18-The use Of
the multiple kick" by the Rutgers
fgootball eleven in it's recent game
with Brown has raised a question on
which the football rules committee
may be asked to pass before the finml
games of the season. Many Of the ex-
perts believe that the multiple kick
violates the spirit of the football rules,
and some of them say that it is speci-
fically prohibited.
Moreover, the most prominent
coaches whose teams have already
played this year agreed that they
would not use the play. Before the
Cornell-Harv game. for instance,
Al Sharpe, the Cornell coach, and
Percy Haughton, the Harvard coach,
decided that the multiple kick should
be barred, and before the Princeton
Harvard game Of last week, Rush, the
Princeton coach. and Haughton were
| il complete accord that the play at
least violated the intent of the rules
and therefore, should not be per-
mitted in their game.
Walter Camp, Yale's football au-
ward Stadium last Saturday afternoon
when Harvard defeated Princeton.
While there one Of the Harvard
coaches spoke to him about the null
| tiple kick, asking what he thought
about it, Camp evidently approves
of it since he replied that he saw
nothing in the rules that legislated
against it. From the opinion ex-
pressed by Camp it is reasonable to
assume that he was expressing Yales
official opinion of the play, and it
would be going only step further to
| draw to the conclusion that it is one
of the plays in Yale's repertoire.
| Contrary to Camps opinion is the
feeling of the three most prominent
coaches of football in the country
Haughton, Sharpe and Rush-that
the play is in spirit, if not in fact
direct violation of the playing code

shape. The Cornell players and
shouters gave Michigan generous
credit for playing great football on
Nov. IL and some of them did not hes
itate to admit after it was over that
the big Red team was lucky to win.
Michigan still has a chance to gain
some recognition in the East by hand

is a better team than Cornell, and he

PLANTERS LOSE HEARNE.

The New London club has lost TUE

to a decision handed down yesterday
by the National board, which met in
New Orleans. Hearne was awarded
to Toronto of the International league.
When Hearne was sent to the Planters
last season it was under stood he was
a farmed player Manager Mccain OF
the Planters declared, however, that
Hearne had not been properly recalled

CROWD OF $4,000 ON HAND

!
Tigers Enter Game Slight FavOrites Although
New Haven Boys Are Confident.

| Princeton was favored in the few bets
that have been made around town, the
Yale supporters asking odds of 10 to
g.
Despite the facts that the odds IA
vor Princeton and most critics con-
cede the Tigers the stronger team,
the Princeton coaches and players,
after their setback of a year ago, are
looking for an even harder struggle to-
day than was experienced at the
hands of Harvard a week ago.
Princeton has been developing slowly
and will present a stronger team
against Yale than was sent against
Harvard.

ANNIVERSARIES
OF RING BATTLES

Perhaps the oldest man who ever
put on the gloves in the professional
ring was Walter Edgerton, the Phlla-
delphia negro boxer, better known as
Kentucky Rosebud. He was born
in Raleigh, N. c., sixty-two years ago,
today. Nov. 10. 1854. and put up a
creditable exhibition of the fistic art
when he was past sixty. Edgerton's
most famous bouts were those with
George Dixon in the early SOS, when
the little Chocolate Drop was at his
best, and was the undisputed feath-
erweight champion of the world. The
Rosebud" held Dixon to a draw in
two bouts in 1892, but lost to Dixon
in four rounds the following year.
He fought Dixon again in 1897, going
6 rounds, and also mingled with a lot
of other featherweights of that period.
Edgerton always took good care Of
himself, with the result that he has
attained a ripe old age, while Dixon
long ago succumbed to hard knocks

tinued on their way to the railroad

bruise on his leg. Should the leg give
him any trouble today it will mean the
substitution Of Braden.
The special cars, conveying the play
ers, pulled out of this city shortly be-
fore o'clock amid deafening cheers.

GERMANY COMEDIES
AMERICAN DEMAND

Washington, JAM 9-Negotiations
between the United States and Ger
many over the Lusitania incident vir-
tually have reached a conclusion
This became apparent following the
receipt of two communications from
Germany through Count Won Bern
storf, the German ambassador, one
Offering to pay an indemnity for loss
of American lives in the Lusitania
disaster and the other conveying as
surances regarding the conduct of
submarine warfare
The latest turn in the negotiations
caused qualification in official circles
and relieved to great extent tension
over the entire submarine question.
Austria already has given assurances
regarding submarine operations and
it is expected that Turkey and Bull
garia will give similar guarantees
Indications are that German pro-
posals in the Lusitania affair will be
accepted by the United States. Prac-
tically the only thing remaining to
bring the controversy to an end is the
wording of the agreement.
