YANKEES PLAN TO GET
SOUTHPAW MITCHELL

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Clarence
Mitchell, the only left-handed spit.
ball twirler in captivity, is slated
TO become a member Of the Yankee
pitching staff before the clubs start
for their spring training camps next
year.
Mitchell is now on the roster OF
the Brooklyns and was one Of the
seventeen players for whom Presi.
dent Ebbets recently requested
waivers. The Yankees refused to
waive on the southpaw and the
waivers were recalled by the Brook.
lyns.
Mitchell has been informed that
he will not be with the Robins next
season and has received permission
from the Brooklyn magnate to carry
on negotiations for his services with
he Yankees.
Several days ago Mitchell opened
negotiations with Manager Miller
Higgins of the Yankees and is now
waiting for a reply. 1t is probable
that a trade between the Yankees
and Robins involving Mitchell will
be completed during the baseball
meetings here In December.

of Maryland and IL is all matter OF
the defense, II the offense is to work
properly. The best offense is a good
defense, anyway, and the Techs have
shown what they can do already
with lines that outweighed them.
Much is expected of Ralph Moore
and ex-Captain Tex Tilson today.
Both of these men are demons on the
defense and as for breaking through
and smearing plays, they stand with
the best.
On the other side Of the line is Bill
Sherertz and Graham. Both have
played stellar ball all season and they
have been footed to shine tomorrow.
II the Techs can come through
with a win they stand an excellent
chance of making good showing
against Washington and Lee and the
Flying Squadron. 1t will be hard
shedding from now on until the close
of the season and every game counts
in the final arrangement OF things,
when the general summing up comes
in the old stove league which con-
venes about the close Of the month.
The Techs have a very creditable
record SO far and the team will bend
every effort to keep the record clean
as far as the games of this imme-
date section are concerned.

Orange Faces Crimson Today

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Har'
wards veteran eleven rules a slight
favorite over Bill Roper's fight'
ing band Of Tiger warriors IN their
gridiron classic at Cambridge
today. The Old Nassau outfit Ia
going to face the Crimson with
the determination to stage the
sort of battle they displayed out
at Stagg field a few weeks ago
That brand of fight would make
Princeton a mighty hard team
TO beat.
The system of football that Percy
Haughton established at Cambridge
is recognized by all gridiron critics
rs being about as good as any IN
the history of the sport. 1t came
through with winning colors last
season, when the Crimson material
was not of the best sort.
This year conditions at Cambridge
have changed. Bob Fisher had the
advantage Of starting the season
with first-clas material. In fact,
most authorities believe he has the
best backfield material in the coun-
try. Charley Buell. is the smartGst
field general playing the game. He

The remainder of the backfield Is
composed of veterans.
Princeton's hope for victory rests
in the fact that Bill Roper is won

into his team.
Football Is fight. Make no mis-.
take on this score. II team Is not
in the right frame of mind when
II takes the field it cannot
win. You can teach pupil every
secret of the game, but II he does
not feel that he Is quite as good rs
the other man, he Is going to lose.
That is what has been the
trouble with a whole lot of col.
leges this season. The coaches al.
lowed their players to get into the
wrong frame of mind. A team that
won't be beat can't be beat. That
IL the sort of spirit that is going
to characterize the playing of the
old Nassau eleven in Cambridge
stadium.
II mas kept the OfdHBt anu
Black from trailing In the dust on
many occasions. Roper Is the
man who put fight into Princeton
football, and II Princeton wins to-
day full credit for the victory will
be his alone.
1t Is in the backfield that Har-
ward appears to have a big advan.
tage over Princeton. Buell. is the
superior of Johnny German. The
latter played a fine. heady game
out at Chicago. 1t was his quick
thinking that gave old Nassau a
victory.
However, 1t IL likely that he will
not shine as well when confronted
with a veteran of the Buell. type.
It is the belief that their field
generals will outplay his Tiger
rival, which causes all Cambridge
to look for Crimson victory.
Whether or not this will prove to
be the case only the game can
tell. II German outshines Buell.

Hockey Prospects.

OCKEY and Rugby football
are Canada's great fall and
Ia winter sports. There is a
prospect Of forming an inter-
national hockey league If team,
can be placed in New York,
Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and
Quebec in Canada, and New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh In the States would be an
ideal circuit, and the international
rivalry divided SO evenly would
almost surely be profitable to the
promoters. :.
At the beginning Canada could
furnish practically all the star
players. There is no available
rink in this city at present, but
the owners Of the new Yankee
Stadium are said to be considering
the cost Of one.
In football the two countries
have little In common, as Rugby
Is little known In the United
States and Canada does not know
our college football game.
Aside from the professional
sports Canada offers many attrac-
tions to hunters of big and little
game. Each year more and more
American sportsmen are going ur
there to hunt.
