HARVARD STARTS WORK
/. TO-DAY FOR YALE TEAM


Cambridge, Mass-. Nov. 1e.-Har-
wards last days before the annual
contest with Yale commence tomor-
row when Head Coach Haughton Will
start tho afternoons work with long
blackboard talk, dealing with his OBJ
servations on Yale's play against
Princeton Saturday. Reggie Brown
and the Harvard players who saw the
game Saturday will also have some
thing to say.
Harvard's substitute team came
through Saturdays game without any
serious injuries being recorded. II
Harvard's regulars had played the
game 1t is a question IL they could
have held Pollard or defeated Brown.
Pollards work Saturday has never
been duplicated in the Stadium. He
had q hand in nearly every Brown
formation ana did about everything ex-
cept attempt field goal. Pollard
made z69 yards, which includes his
rushes. running back OF kicks and
gains through forward passing. In
comparison the whole Harvard team
gained only 22s yards. while the COM
bined advance by Brown was 472
yarda
Pollard played a beautiful defensive
game. three OF every Ave tackles made
by the Brown backs being credited
to him.
Harvard starts her Anal week OF
preparation for the Yale game with
Squad Of thirty-six players practically
free from injuries.

OLD ELI FOOTBAll|STS
VISIT ATLANTIC CITY

New Haven. Conn. Nov. Is.-Only
the Yale substitute football players
returned to this city tonight. the reg
nlars having gone direct from Prince
ton yesterday to Atlantic City.
Quarterback Traver Smith. who was
iii yesterday with tonsitttis. came here
today. Although weak, he will resume
scrimmage Tuesday.
The Yale coaches announced tonight
that they expect 70 present the same
lineup against Harvard as against the
Tigers. except that Smith will return
to quarterback.
No Yale players were injured yes
terday. except for slightly bruised
ankle sustained by Callahan and a
bruised cheek by jacques. The var

part in the affair. which will not have
a decision tackled on to It unless there
Dis a knockout.
The weight Welsh insists upon. l3x
pounds at O'Clock, will give Kilbano
several pounds the worst Of 1t. but
his confidence is such that Jimmy
Dunn. his manager. has interposed
no serious objections.
Kilbane. for champion, has not
been much in the limelight. Popular
belief that he was a boxer pure and
simple, with little steam behind his
BLOWS, probably has been responsible.
His knockout of George CLANCY, as
tough youngster as ever put on a
pair Of boxing gloves. has done much
TO win favor for him and there Is
ground for the belief that Kflbans
has a great deal more power back OF
his fists than has been supposed.
At any rate, he should give Welsh
a grand time. Fully as clever. as
good a ring general, he should make
the champion hustle a great deal
harder than most of the Iightweights
who have been parading as cham
pionship contenders.
It's only a pity that kilhane should
be compelled to go out Of his class to
find an opponent worthy OF him. If
he should happen to whip Welsh by
d K. O. punch he will have the unique
distinction of holding two Champion
ships among the little fellows at the
same time.
Minneapolis Is puzzling over tho
fact that Scotty Monteith. manager
for Johnny Dup dee, passed up a bout
with Matt Brock at 1875 pounds to
fight Jack Britton. who weighs almost
twenty pounds more.
This is the story as 1t was told upon
his return from the East by Harry
Sherman, who was scouting around
for an opponent for Brock. The lat
ter is quite a card in the Twin Cities
and Is finding matches rather hard
TO get. 1t occurred to Sherman that
Dundee would prove a good attrac-
ton in the ring with Brock and he
had visions of golden shekels pour
ing into the Golfers If he could get
them together. SO he appointed Tom
my welsh to see Monteith.
Brock will let Johnny come in at
126 pounds. which / know he can
make without any trouble" said
Welsh to Monteith.
Sure he can, but We don't want
the match replied the inimitable
Scotty. We're going to Boston to
fight Jack Britton."
"Britton." screeched Tommy. why
he weighs las IL he weighs an ounce"
so he does, but that makes 1t all
the better" retorted Scotty biandly.
We can't get anything licking the
little fellows What we are after Is
the big bird who thinks he's so smart,
and Britton is one Of them"
And Tommy departed, scratching
his head.

MILITARY DAY To
FEATURE AUTO SHOW

A big Military Day, in honor Of the
boys who are soon to return from the
Mexican border. will be q feature of
the Auto Show to be held January
81 to February by the Richmond
Automo bile Dealers Association. The
day to be set aside for this purpose
has not been definitely decided upon
by the show committee. but 1t was
announced yesterday that one day dur
ing the week will be given over to
military celebration. This side of the
show program will be especially at
tractive and timely. as 1t Is thought
that all or a greater part of the Rich
mond troops will have returned from
the border by that time.
In addition. a Richmond Day will
be celebrated at the show. Definite
dates for these arrangements will soon
be announced by the committee. and
programs Of special events will be
given out. Progress with the show is
moving along rapidly. 1t is stated, and
Indications are that the display week
will be one of the biggest combined
social and commercial events of the
season.

LOOKING ON YAAKS AS
PENAANT C0XTtkOtRS
Red Sox VIII Have to Hustle to Re-
peat When Donoyan's Crew
Shapes Up.

New York. Dec. I9.-There In a
well-defined impression among all the
club owners in the American League
that the Red Sox will have a whole
lot of trouble in winning another PEN
nant next year 1t is assumed that
the White Sox, Detroit and perhaps
St Louis will give the Boston team
run for Its money, but the chief
obstable In its path should be the
Yankees.
Donovan had a mighty good club
last year. He also had the most
heart-sreaking list of injuries and
ILLNESSES known In modern tinNes
New York hospitals were never idle
as long as the Yanks were in town.
Hospitals in other cities also got part
or their patronage. Donovan's men
usually were in the condition of a
steer that has attempted to dispute
the right OF way with a railroad
train.
A surgeon at the front could not
have got much more in the line of
experience than the doctor who had
the Yankees in charge.
Maisel will be in condition to see
what he can do at second base,
Gedeon will be in better health. and
Donovan thinks that he may have a
brandnew star for second base in
the person of Chick knapp. OF the
Texas League. With Baker back at
third, Peckinpaugh at short and Pipp
at first, this certainly assures n good
infield.
Gilhooley recently has had his leg
examined by a specialist. who reports
that it should be as strong as ever
next season. High proved himself a
mighty good man. and Magee expects
to do more with the bat, which should
account for the outfield- The pitch
ing staff should be as good as any ir
the league and the catching staff is
plenty good enough. Altogether
Donovan's men should give somebody
a great run for the money,
