Pro Grid Personnel

The South Atlantic Football
League is in its first year, and
like any young organization, is
bound to make mistakes which
time alone can correct. The
item Of football eligibility is an
old sore on football and no one
likes to harp on it, but many
regular patrons at the Sunday
games here have indicated to
us that there is an element of
unfairneSs in the practice of
importing teams enbloc to play
o quarter, which. on weekdays
play under entirely different
team identities.
This has only happened once,
so far as the records show,
but the turnstile clickers will
not stand for this often or at
all, as it is obviously against
all rules of Sportsmanship
even in professional football.
The young league will do
well to fix a date, not too far
distant, when President Rob
Roy Mackey will have the COM
plete roster Of each team and
thereafter confine the clubs TO
using only such men as are
indicated on such a list. Other
wise, the league cannot possibly
obtain any balance and few
teams which can offer the best
inducements will have all the
star players and a top-heavy
race will result, as will an early
demise of the league.

were his. Names like Steele,

So the wrestlers, the most
scandalized of all professional
athletes, are stopping at moth

cessful welfare mat show. If
the public will do its share to
pack the Auditorium tonight,
perhaps some of the football
teams hereabouts will be shamed
into setting aside childish OBJ
jectionS and doing something
substantial for the unemployed
Of Washington.
For every man, woman or
child who enters the Auditorium
for the wrestling feast tonight,
at least rs cents will be
available to put idle hands to
work this winter on wood piles,

of coal and other odd jobs the

West Virginia Wesleyan's foot
ball warriors will leave Buckhan.
non at 8 o'clock this evening to
start their trip to Annapolis and
the game with Navy on Saturday
in the Middle stronghold.
The squad will travel from
ClarkSburg to Washington and
thence to Annapolis, arriving at
the Naval Academy about II
o'clock Friday morning. Coach
Ross and his gridders will be
located in Bancroft Hall during
their stay with Uncle Sans Tars.
Final Drill Today
Coach Ross plans a limbering
up workout at the Navy field Fri
day afternoon.
The Bobcats will hold their
final drill ON the home field
this afternoon. Following the
workout, the travelling squad
will be selected by the Wes-
leyan mentor.
The squad as a whole is in
fairly good shape for the coming
game, only Beveridge and Hall
likely to be absent from the game
Saturday. However, the loss of
these two gridderS will lower
Wesleyan's chances against the
MiddieS.
The attack for the Navy game
has been carefully planned by
Coach Ross and the Orange and
Black gridders have spent a
strenuous week on the practice

encounter.

This will mark the tenth meet

Hawks have won six and the
Apaches have captured three.
The Apaches have come out on
top in the last two games.
Stars in Action
Many favorites will be seen in
action. Collegiate, high school
and independent stars make up
the clubs. The Big Indians will
be a slight favorite because Of
their brilliant perform an C e
against the Northern-CelticS last
Sunday. Seymour Hall, manager
of the, little Indians, has boil
stored his club no little with the
addition of five crack foothallers,

DOB|E'S TEAM
HASEDGEON
COLUMBIA
By COPELAND c. BURG


NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-When
Cornell and Columbia, two Of the
few major Eastern elevens still
unbeaten, clash Saturday at
Ithaca, somewhere around will
be seen a man in a black derby
and wearing a long black coat
which makes him look even taller
than he is.
In his hand he will carry a
dozen pebbles, which he juggles
up and down, the tempo of the
stone juggling increasing if Cor
nell's play happens to be par
ticularly bad.
His face is as immobile as the
face Of a cuStard pie.
Anyway, even if he had just
inherited a million dollars, the
tall man wouldn't be exactly
happy about it, inwardly or out
wardly, for he is Gloomy Dobie-
Gil Dobie, the Cornell coach.
In fact, if Cornell should white
wash Columbia, the Gloomy Gus
of football would not show a
tooth, despite the fact his future
as a coach may depend on the
result Of this very game.
Doesn't Smile
Dobie didn't even smile when
he was at the University of
Washington and won so many
games no school wanted to
schedule a game against him. He
didn't smile in a bright reign
at Navy, either, or in the halcyon
days of the great span in Dobie's
early years at Cornell.
But there is an anti.DObie
crowd among COrneIlS alumni
and it would raise its head
violently as it did two years
ago if the big red machine hap
pened to crack up against Co
lumbia-Of all things.
But it looks as though Dobie
could go on embalming his smiles
and enforcing his creed-never
give football player a break.
For what this great coach doesn't
know about smiles can't hurt his
1881 edition u! there high above
Cuyaga'S waters.
Coach Lou Little's team did

man and Kline, the best group of
backs at their weight in the East.
Red Team a Mystery
Also, Little hasn't whole flock
Of tricks such as decorateS the
sleeve Of the morose Dobie. No
body knows just how good the
Red team is right now.
DObie's men won from the
weak Princeton eleven without
showing anything and if pushed
by Columbia what DObie will
unfold may send Little back to
the hospital in our judgment.
So unless we are wrong again,
Cornell will remain unbeaten
this week.
Along with Dobie's team in the
undefeated column of Eastern
elevens should be Fordham, Har.
ward and New York University.
Harvard has a setup in Vir.
ginia and New York University
can hardly miss against Oregon.
Fordham will use third Stringers
against West Liberty. And in
case you're asked where West
Liberty is located, it is near
Wheeling. w. Va, and is also an
undefeated eleven. And If you
please, the teams which west
Liberty has crushed this season
are none other than Concord, Sue
Bennett and Washington and
Dickinson.

Shortage in Child Workers.

Remarkable decreases in the number
of children leaving school in England
in the next few years indicate that for
some time there will be more jobs for
the young than applicants. In 1888
there will be only 100000 boys and 146,-
900 girls, in 1884 the number of boys
will be reduced to 1920 and of girls
to 41,000 There will be fewer girls
still in 1885. The scarcity is expected
to become less pronounced in 1886, but
the shortage Is expected to continue for
