Rrattleboro, Dec. 1.-County Fish and

taken as the season does not open until

ARGUMENT FOR NUMBERING.
Who Scored Harvard's Second Touch
 down Puzzled Many.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. S.-Anoth- CT convincing argument in favor of numbering the players took place in Saturdays game between Harvard and Princeton. Harvard had three men together in the press stand who have been with the team all fall. When Harvard's touchdown which tied the game was made the trio agreed that Crocker went across. They went further and inquired later of some of the players who gave the credit to Roscoe F'itts

sequence. that Penn is slowly r!pening an eleven of considerable power. for Pittsburgh has one of the best of this seasons teams. If the Penn harvest Is to come, however. under Heisman's tuition. 1t will have to be reaped in the course of another Autumn.
 Navy's one-sided thrashing of the crack Georgetown aggregation was another surprise The Washington ians had not lost a game previously and had easily subdued at least two opponents of real power. Charley Daly, whose West Pointers had a walkovcr against Lebanon Valley on Saturday. will certainly feel that his team must be at it's best to avert a pummeling in the service game at the Polo Grounds on Nov. 27.
 Syracuse enhanced her gridiron prestige by the victory over Washing ton and Jefferson, but hardly plotted out thereby the recollection Of the set back week earlier.
 The husky Quakers from Swarth- more brought to South Field an eleven clearly superior to any that had ap- peared there previously this season. Buck O'Neill's men had no excuses to offer for their defeat, and they are not great hands at offering excuses any way. Next year Is understood to be absolutely another year. and that is the time when the Columbia coaches efforts seem likely to bear vaIua ble fruit.
 New York University. a hard luck team all this Fall. maintained that un- desirable eminence in the tussle with Union, which should on the face of things have been beaten by at least two touchdowns.

TIGERS ARE DISAPPOINTED
Princeton Players and Hooters Had Visions of Victosr Over Harvard ExDect to Wai<6tD Yale.

Princeton. N. J., Nov. 7.-Prince- tons football warriors arrived in Tgertown yesterday, apparently none the worse for Saturdays battle with Harvard. Many of the players, in cluding Keck, did not have as much as a scratch. While, of course, dis appointed in the outcome of the game. after it had seemed won, the men have no alibis, and are thinking of nothing but the coming of the Ellis on Saturday.
 The undergraduates returning from Boston were a rather solemn lot. It was hard for them to have joy turned to grief for that was what it was when the Crimson stepped over for the touchdown that evened the score. The Princeton rooters were counting on victory a little too soon. and it was hard to lose.

NAVY TEAM WINS.

Annapolis, Md. Nov. S.-Thera is great pleasure around the Naval Academy over the victory of the eleven Saturday against Georgetown. That team is tho strongest rival of the mid shipmen in this vicinity and inflicted tho only defeat the eleven sustained last season. The victory is believed to mark tho Naval Academy team qs one of the strongest elevens of the year Georgetown had not lost this seasor and stood second among tho college teams in total of points scored. The Navy won decisively and ditl not have to uso much of tho specia! attack which it had prepared.

BASKETBALL SEASON
 HAS FINE OPENING
COrbin and Stanley Works Quin-
 tets Win After Fast Contest


 opened in this city Saturday evening, when two games were played at the State Armory. It was the commence ment of the Industrial league season, and Judging by the performances turned in Saturday night, the coming season should prove very successful The league contest was between the champion Corbin team of last season and the New Britain Machine com pany quintet. Larson & Co. won the game 30 to 25, after a fast battle. The Big Chief" was one of the chief factors in the victory. He was ably supported by Morgan, new man, in the league who registered six field goals. Larson. is still able to make the free tries count, getting six. For the Machinists, Tommy Sheehan, the former High school star, and Charlie Miller. were the chef point makers, each registering four field goals. John ny Sheehan gave a good exhibition of floor work.

OUTLOOK NOT BRIGHT
Yale Faces Hard Battles With Tigers and Crimson in An Optimistic Man. ner-Acosta May Not Play.

ner-Acosta May Not Play.
 New Haven, Nov. S.-Yale's foot ball outlook was described last night by prominent coach as "squally, with imm ediate breakers ahead" The Ellis face their Harvard and Prince ton games, having beaten Brown, Colgate, West Virginia and even live ly little North Carolina through hair breadth escapes from defeat, and having been subdued by Boston col lege. The coaches feel that the Crimson and Tigers, who must be faced on the next two Saturdays, will prove, tough nuts to crack.
 The coaches found that Captain Tim Callahan was the only member of the hospital list who can be re- lied upon to be broken to harness be- fore the Tiger bout next Saturday. His injured ankle is now thoroughly well and he hankered to play against Brown Saturday. If Yale had not pushed the deciding touchdown over the line early in the last period, he might have been rushed into the play in the final minute, but the coaches wished to reserve him for the Tiger fray and give him more light scrim- mage practice the coming week.
 The coaches fully intend to return him to the battle line at guard, re- placing Ed Quaile, the third-string g player whose game Saturday was also impressive, although lacking expert ence and finish.
 The recovery of John Acosta has been slower and is far from com- plete. It is doubtful whether he can assume the other guard place Sat urday, but Herr's game has improved, although he is not Of the veteran variety yet.

Mass. at St. Mary's field Saturday afternoon, score 2S to 0. The man. ner in which the locals went after the visitors indicated that the old spirit is once again back at the school, and the hopes of the students are greatly brhEhtened for a victory over Hartford High school.
 Leonard Appell scored the first touch chdown for the Red and Gold team. when he caught a forward pass shortly after the kickoff in the first period. and ran the length of the field for q touchdown. Berner registered the second score in the same period The visitors tried an aerial attack in tho second quarter, but the locals broke up this style frequently. Cap tain Peplau scored the third touch down and Berner the fourth. Peplau gave a fine exhibition of goal kicking, registering all four tries successfully. The general improvement in the team reflects much credit on Coaches Parker and Dunn.
