copy of their recent proceedings was
received by President Heydler of the
National League. but nothing was said
whether or not they would pout and not
play or would be there Monday to SUBJ

II they are not there, then the position
OF the allied eleven is that the issue will

Nor have there been any convincing

OF those two has lost n game. and
Princeton in particular has been against

three weeks will do a thousand times

best halfback than all OF the last six
weeks put together 1t Is just possible,
that Harvard. Yale or Princeton will
break into the charmed circle of tho

the season is over. The opinion of a
former West Virginia player is that

Anybody around here remember these
lineups:
Harvard--TIall. Cate. wetherbee.
Morse. Semmans, Curtis. Bacon. Her
rick. Leeds. Reyes. blanchard Tower.
Thayer. Faucon. Cushing and Whitney.
Yale--Arnold. Johnston. Phelps.
Trumbuil. vaille. wakeman. Wright.
