Eli Triumphed After Six Years of Defeats and Ties.
 LeGore Played Well
TOO MUCH OLIPHANT
 FOR NAVY ELEVEN
Washington and Jefferson Found Chattanooga Easy-Crimson Play Slow and Uncertain-Much Credit
 for Captain Black and Team

New York, November 26.-The crest of the football season Saturday saw the Harvard machine. built up at Cambridge during the last few years, defeated by a Yale eleven and the wrecking of Navy S hopes for an eleventh hour victory over the Army. Similar scenes were enacted on other fields and there remain only the contests of Thanksgiving day before the curtain is lowered on the sport for another year. In defeating Harvard, Yale, by individual brilliancy, lifted foot ball at New Haven to marks of former years Coach Jones' with the aid of Captain Black and the band of fighters the latter gathered about him, laid the ground work for new system and a more impressive grade of play for the years to come.
 It cannot be said that the Yale eleven was 8 remarkable football combination when compared with some of the Eli combinations after the past, but it was good enough to win from Harvard after six years of defeat or scoreless tie play. IL was more alert and aggressive, had the greater strength and fighting courage, and coming from behind, won by outplay- ing and outlasting opponents, both men tally and physically. The team played ordinary football with a dash and power that swept the Crimson off it's feet after the first period and never gave it's oppo- nents a chance to recover their boise. The entire back field proved to be light field plungers. Legore's end running and tack1ing was good.
 The Crimson play was far slower and uncertain than a year ago and the backs seldom were able to get into their stride, due to the vicious manner in which Yale held up the first line and plunged into the back field.
 The Army-Navy contest developed a case of too much Oliphant for the Middies and the Annapolis academy must con- tinue building for another year before it can hope to cope with the West Point eleven. Excluding the former Purdue star and exrunning mate, Vidal compared favorably with the West Pointers. The br.lliancy and allround playing ability of these two were the features of the game
 The other games of the day developed in the way of upsets more than ordinary play.
 Pennsylvania bore heavily upon Tufts, who were compelled to bow in defeat. Washington and Jefferson found Chatta- nooga easy and the same was true or Rutgers in the game against Dickinson. Bucknell was unable to hold the strong Georgetown eleven in check, but Lehigh and Haverford had to battle hard to win from Lafayette and Swarthmore, re- spectively.

ened, but at that should score a win by neat margin.
 The Commodores will do all in their power to run up big score. Should Tennessee and Tech meet defeat and the McGugin outfit counquor the Tiger by large score, then they would have strong bid for the championship.
 Tennessee is counting on having merry battle with Kentucky State, running up big score to celebrate a successful season. Ken lucky State will most probably fall to the Tennesseans, but not until atfer a strenuous battle. Vandy whipped the Kentuckians 45 to 0 with substitutes playing a large majority of the second half.
 On Thanksgiving morning, at Redwood Field, a clash which is unsurpassed in high school circles for rivalry Is scheduled. Central High school of Birmingham meets the Bessemer High school in their annual scrap. With the champion ship of the Alabama Interscholastic Athletic conference hinged on the outcome, a game unsurpassed be- tween two prep teams here this season will be provided. Bessemer is the betting favorite, but at that the game will be well worth wit messing.
 Both have had extremely suc- cessful seasons to date and i'm terest in the game is at it's zenith among the students of the two in- stitutions, who will turn out in full force.

Last Games of Year Thanks
 giving-Tech and Ten nessee Undefeated
GEORGIA CRIPPLED
 FOR CRIMSON GAME
Auburn Will Give Yellow Jackets Hard Battle-Championship Is Still at Stake-Defeat of Tennessee and
 Tech Would Be Surprising

With the final hard scrimmages out ot the way and most of the elevens reported in the best of condition, southern football enthusiasts today turn their eyes toward Thanksgiving day as fitting ending for season replete with close, sensational games, and not at all devoid of unex- pected upsets. With the exception of Chattanooga, which invaded the east and vas defeated by Washington and Jeffer- son and Hampden Sydney and Randolph Macon, which played a scoreless tie at Richmond, southern elevens engaged only in scrimmage practice Saturday.
 Georgia Tech, which in 1915 barely lost to Vanderbilt the honors in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association, ap- breaches the end of it's schedule unde- feated, while Tennessee, last year far in the ruck, stands at the top in the north ern section of southern territory with it's record unnarred by defeat. Tech next Thursday will play Auburn in At lanta and Tennessee will meet Kentucky state at Knoxville.
 Unlike last season, the mythical all- southern championship cannot yet be awarded definitely. In 1915 Virginia was ullQlSpulcOly tie pest III LnC SOuCfl, DuL this year the Old Dominion eleven was trampled upon by Vanderbilt, Georgia and the eastern elevens. which they last year trounced or held to low scores. Vanderbilt was beaten by Tennessee and in turn defeated Auburn. Should either Tennessee or Georgia Tech lose while the other is winning, it is likely that the mythical title would be accorded to the undefeated team.
 A number of battles which have been on the schedules for Thanksgiving day so long that they have come to be con- sidered fixtures, are to be decided Thurs day. The Vanderbilt-Sewanee clash at Nashville and the Virginia North Caro- lima battle at Richmond probably lead the classics in general interest, although not far behind them are the Georgia Tech-Auburn battle at Atlanta, the Georgia-Alabama meeting at Birmingham and Louisiana state and Tulane at New Orleans
 Most of the teams this year go into their final battles with their first elevens intact and the players in excellent condi- ton despite the hard schedules. Georgia will be somewhat crippled for the Ala bama game, according to reports from Athens last night, which said Jim Key holds, star halfback, broke his ankle in scrimmage practice yesterday.

MARSHALL TO MEET
 ALBERTVULE AGGIES

Guntersvlle, November B.-CSpecial) After defeating the Etowah County High school for the second time this year, 27 to 0, on last Friday Marshall County High school is working hard for the Thanksgiving game.
 The local boys are to meet their neigh bors and old-time rivals, Albertville Aggies at Guntersville fairgrounds. This game promises to be the biggest, best and most anxious game ever played on a north Alabama gridiron.
 While the Aggies have had football for several years and a large number of pupils from which to select a good team, the county high school has made good showing against them for the past two years. Both teams are strong this sea son, the Albertville boys having lost only one game. Birmingham college; and Marshall County High school one game, and that was to Marion County High

Chicago, November 26.-"Chic" Harley, right halfback of the Ohio state eleven, dashed the hopes of Northwestern in the western conference championship game al Columbus Saturday and western crit ics already are picking him as an eligi- bla candidate for all-western soccers. liar ley scored one of two touchdowns that defeated Northwestern, kicked a goal from field and was a power in defensive tactics.
 Sweeping changes in the confereno schedule for next year probably will be made, it is said. Ohio state is the latest university to join the conference and its supporters claim that the smaller schools have been given due considera- tion in the booking of games.

ADJUSTMENTS
'eThe Blue Paradise"

Judging from the large number of tickets that have already been bought for the engagement of 'The Blue Paradise" which the Messrs. Shubert will present at the Jefferson tonight, this newest and most melodious of Viennese operettas is in for a prosperous local presentation. ''The Blue Paradise" has but recently finished a remarkable run in New York city of almost 400 consecutive perform ances. The glowing reports carried home by the thousands of out-of-town visitors who saw yThe Blue Paradise" in the metropolis have caused the fame of this delightful operetta1 to insure large audi ences in every place it is presented There is large chorus of singing and dancing beauties from Broadway and 'The Blue Paradise company carries it's own or chestra.

It was written by a young man who has, through it's success, laid the foundation for the most successful career. His name is Max Marcin. He has succeeded in "The House of Glass; in bringing to the theatre so many new dramatic ideas that he is expected to take foremost rank as an American dra- matist From rise to fall of curtain the piece is packed with thrilling episodes and the attention of the audience is never permitted to lag for moment through out the four acts.

 1. That any infraction of the rules regulating the training of members of the athletic teams of the univer- sity is greatly to be deprecated.
 2. That the coach, athletic director and captain of the various athletic teams of the university are hereby in structed to award no letter to any stu dent who has. in the judgment of the coach of the athletic team in question, been guilty of such infraction of the training rules as would render him un- worthy of this honor.

KELLY BACK AT WORK

The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-11-27

Any Alabama football player report end of the football season on Thanks giving day will be immediately dropped from the squad no matter who he is This is the edict of Coach Kelly, following the pitiable exhibi- tion made by the Alabama team at New Orleans last Saturday against Tu- lane, according to the Crimson White, the official organ of the University of Alabama.
 The team that played Tulane on Sat urday was mere shell of the one that conquered the mighty Tiger ana held the powerful Tech eleven for three periods only a week before. This can be attributed but to one thing, and that is laXity of training on the part of the player. Kelly can't be blamed The players were on their honor to stay in condition, yet they wilfully threw all caution to the wind last week and wrecked the mighty machine that gained for itself the admiration and respect of the south.
 It wasn't fair to the school or to Coach Kelly, especially to Coach Kelly, for certain players to break training Kelly has to bear the brunt of the criticism and in few days the care- full work of two months was dis rupted.
 But there is to be no repetition and for the slightest infraction of train ing Kelly intends to dismiss those. guilty without argument.
 KELLY BACK AT WORK
 Kelly is determined and there will be no appeal from his actions Kelly is starting back to work to repair the damage in time for the Georgia game. There is much to be done and the Alabama coach does not intend to be hampered in the least by players who are not keeping training. From now on, it is keep training or be dropped
