His best year was 1886. That Oc-

he drifted into oblivion.
Jake had always been a fighter
on the diamond. He crashed into
Hank Greenberg at first base in
May, 1886, and gave the Detroit
star broken wrist that put him on
the bench the rest of the season
He roughed Joe Kuhel in similar
fashion here and precipitated q
near-riot. Jake was subjected TO
light barrage of pop battles from the
bleacherites. True to form, he
picked UP the missiles and hurled
them back
Practically all of Jakes troubles
could be traced to a cordial dislike
for training and a fondness for the
gaiety and bright lights that put
him in class along with John L
Sullivan and titans of the old school
who like to mix their fun with
sports. 1t didn't work out so well

PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. 5.-The

While neither Harvard nor

concerned, the visitors should be
the favorites tomorrow, for Harvard

wing offense.
Sparked by the running of
George Sella, Carl Leibert. and John

team gained total of 500 yards
against Virginia. The Princeton
passing attack began to function
effectively for the first time against
the Cavaliers with 10 cc.npletions
