Great Sbakevp is tbe Yalt Turn
Wm Mad By the Coaches
, Yesterday.
New Haven, Nov 17. At least
four changes In the Yale eleven are
likely before the Yale-Harvard gsme
Saturday. Captain Burch Is almost
certain to take his former position
ai ngnt end instead of Coy, and Kll
Patrick and Coy will probably dlvd9
leu end instead of Haines. Coy will
ue usea to receive rorward passna
when pluyed at end and to do the
distance punting and the heavy
plunging when used at fullback. Kll-
patrlck has played fullback till this
year and is therefore equally at
home at end or in the back field.
Hobbs will replace Lilley at left
lackie. Lilley was unequal to the
heavy Princeton attack of Saturday
and could hardly be expected to
stand up to the Harvard assaults next
Saturday. At . Quarterback chunces
favor Allan Corey holding the posi
tion, uorey was the only one of the
three Yale quarters tried Saturday
who stemmed the tide of poor passes
and Inferior generalship.
In the backfleld the coaches talk
of placing Daly at right halfback.
They look at the possibility of the
game hinging on the possibility of a
neia goal and, therefore, of reserv
ing wneaton for the occaslou. He Is
me only dependable drop kicker on
the Yale squad.

The ball is changed generally be

Princeton men say that had thpv rul.

agree for their match here Saturday

GIRL FOOTBALL REFEREE.
They Say She Has Mike Thomnson
Beaten a Whole Block.
Toledo0., Nov 17 Skirts swished
and a tam-o'-shanter bobbed merrily
Saturday afternoon at. Cent
park, where Sophia Henry, a Toledo
girl, refereed a football game be
tween the West Toledo and Lincoln
elevens.
Rushing pell mell into a hot scrim
mage, she pulled the ball out of the
hands of a player who had tried to
Illegally take it, put it where it
ought to be, and whistled for play to
go on. The teams were so startled
when she jumped into them that they
forgot their signals.
A well fitting sweater, neat blue
skirt and nobby "tam". were not in
her way at all, and the way she
stepped around and took CArA nf niu if
was enough to convince the hundreds-!
present that she knew the rules and
was there to enforce them. v
"The ball goes hack to the place
where the play started, and Llncolns
are penalized fifteen yards," she yell
ed above the babble of the players.
What for?" demanded the Lin
coln captain angrily. 'The ball "
"Never mind the talk the ball
was dead as soon at It hit the ground,
as it was an attempted forward
pass," came the snapping answer, and
the Lincoln leader went to his posi
tion. There was a big crowd on hand tc
see the fun. When it was announced
that a woman was to referee some
thought It was a joke. Sophia Hen
ry, however, was on the Job. It is the
first instance on record where a wom
an has refereed a game on the grid

THE PUGILISTS
Beit in Nw England and Best in
Amelia Art to Meet
Soon.
Unless present- negotiations fall
Abe Attell and Jim Drlscoll will fight
twenty-five rounds on New Year's
Day In San Francisco for the feath
erweight championship of the world.
Drlscoll, who Is believed to be the
best featherweight England has pro
duced in many years, made bis first
appearance In this country last Fri
day night, when he met Matty Bald
wlu of Boston in a six round bout
at a local plub. Baldwin was over
weight and not at his best, but Drls
coll was so easily the master that
it was apparent to unprejudiced
Judges that the little Briton was an
exceptionally clever pugilist".
' Several chronic fault finders who
never knew a fighter from a fiddle
declared that Drlscoll was not much
and did not deserve any praise, be
cause Baldwin was a 'piece of punk'
but the fact that Drlscoll showed
speed, cleverness and brains, togeth
er with pluck and hitting ability,
convinced persons who had no axes
to grind that he did not come here
with an inflated reputation. Drls
coll is under the protecting wing of
Charles J. Harvey, who also mana
ges the affairs of Owen Moran, the
English featherweight, who has held
his own already in two battles, one
of twenty-five and another of twenty
three rounds, with Attell.
Moran insists that he and not
Drlscoll is the English featherweight
champion, although he admits that
he and Drlscoll never have met.
Moran was defeated by Joe Bowker,
who was the recognized champion in
England at the time, and later Drls
coll put It all over Bowker twice in
succession, thereby winning the title.
Moran says he will fight Drlscoll In
this, country , to (. settle this question
of supremacy, but he probably will
have to wait, as Drfscoll came here
for. the express purpose of making a
match with Attell, the American
champion. , ...
Attell, . one of , the best, boxers in
the world, is easily the best man at
his weight in this country, but the
fact that he could not make much
headway in his two battles with Mo
ran would make it appear that Dris
colP is entitled to a match. It all
depends- upon how much money Is
offered by the 'Frisco promoters and
how much there 4s in it for Attell.
If. Attell -does .not- haggle over" the
weight question, which is his custom
a match can be quickly made, but
It is believed that Attell will not
sigh articles: until he has secured a
number of conditions of his own
making. . Drlscoll says he will fight
Attell twenty-five rounds ;or to a
finish at any weight from 122 to
130. That looks like a real business
proposition, and. sporting men say
Attell will have to fight or show the
white feather. If the match Is made
It goes without saying that Moran
will be hot foot. after the winner.,'
It has been definitely settled that
the finish fight between : Tommy
Burns and Jack . Johnson- forj the
heavyweight" championship "of the
world will take place at Sydney, N.
S. W.. on December 26. The men
will enter the ring at 11 o'clock In
the morning so that, they can have
plenty of time in which to settle
their differences. As Burns will re
ceive $30,000 in cold cash whether
he wins or loses It. is Just possible
that he may show some indifference
as to the result. -Burns Is a pretty
clever, chap when it comes to get
ting, the money. Suppose he should
lose this fight on a foul? Would
another mill to be decided at Frisco
be- worth a big purse? Ring experts
in various parts of the United States
as they discuss this Burns-Johnson
affair are now inclined to believe
that there may be "something do
ing." Time will tell, also the Aus
tralian fight critics, who already
have received a tip. to. watch for de
velopments.
For two years pugilism has been a
craze in Paris. Frenchmen have
come to regard ring contests as
New Yorkers look upon the horse
show. The glove . fights In . the
French capital are attracting im
mense . crowds which Include many
persons well known in political and
business circles. Sam McVey,, a col-
ored heavyweight from California,
this country. Is the star in Paris.
He has been beating all kinds of
mixed ale and back number fighters
until he wears a heavy crown of
laurel. Last Saturday night McVey
In. the presence of probably 6,000
spectators tackled an alleged pugilist
named Herbert Synott of Austra
lia. The "fight" was scheduled to
go twenty rounds, but in - the fifth
McVey scored a clean knockout. BUl
Papke, the American middleweight
champion could not stop this fellow
McVey In a few punches. "It must

New "Haven fight fans will have
the opportunity before long of wit
nessing Young Shea, the fast Water
bury boxer, in a mix-up before one
of the West Haven clubs. Shea has
many admirers In New Haven gained
by his clever work In several prelim
inary bouts there within the past
couple of years. He is one of the
fastest In the state at his weight and
always furnishes a good show. Shea
will be matched later with one of
New Haven's fast boys as a prelimi
nary bout for six rounds. He is in
good condition and ready any time to
get into the ring.

POLO GAMES
Report is Now That the Big Cities
Are to Oafinize League
Other Newt.
"Providence Is to be Included, It is
said, In the National Roller Polo
league to be organized for the season
of 1909-10. The circuit will Include
Baltimore, Washington, Pittsburg,
Providence and Boston.
"The league will have the backing
of the Professional Exhibition Roller
Skaters' association of America,
which already has special rinks in
Trenton, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington. It is said by Earl
Reynolds, secretary-treasurer of the
association, that the Metropolitan
rink in New York will be utilized
and that in Boston the Park Square
building will be bad. Mr Reynolds
who is now filling an engagement at
Keith's, says that there Is plenty of
money behind the scheme and that
It Is the purpose of the association
to place roller polo on a proper basis.
To accomplish this, he says, there
will be radical changes made in the
rules of the game. They will Include
prohibition of playing when on the
feet. That is to say, the men must
be on the rollers all the time, and
all broad and special shoes will be
barred. Moreover, the rollers niu
be of uniform size, front and rear.
"The rinks which the association
is using and which it will put up in
the new cities will have surfaces 120
by 60 feet. This will, Mr Reynolds
asserts, allow for play behind the
goals. The general plan for these
rinks provides for reserved seats im
mediately In front of the surfaces,
with raised seats back of these on
the four sides.
"The scheme is to wait until the
present New England season is out,
and then George Cunningham o
Pawtucket is to make up two teams
of 12 players, the pick of the present
New England League, and take them
through the cities where it is pro
posed to establish the National
league teams. This will be done, Mr
Reynolds says, to give the local fane
an idea of what may be expected
when the national season opens.
"Charles L. Franks, Fowler of
Washington and 'Doc' White of the
Chicago White Sox will, Mr Reynolds
says, be in charge of the Washington
rink. The Whiteside boys will look
after the game in Boston, Mr Rey
nolds asserts.
"Locally it is proposed to lease
land near the center of the city and
erect a ring similar to those which
the association has put up in other
cities.
"Mr Reynolds played in a team
with Cunningham in 1S86-87, and
was a member of the Mascot team
of Lafayette. Ind., in which he made
three goals from rush in 20 se'
In those days three goals consti
tuted a game. He has been before
the public as a skater since boy
hood." Providence Journal.

His Work as Amerioan Commissioner
In London Is Heartily Approved by
Aaaociatas.
New York, Nov. 17. All athletic re
lations between this couutry and Eng
land are severed as the result of the
action taken by the Amateur Athletic
uulou at its annual meeting at the Ho
tel Astor when It refused to recognize
the dlsqualltieatlon of J. C. Carpenter,
the Cornell university runner who was
suspended for life by the British offi
cials. '
Immediately after the 400 meter race
at the recent Olympic games in the
Loudon stadium Carpeuter was charg
ed with "fouling Lieutenant Hals-
welie," an English runner, was dis
qualified from the race and suspended.
At the annual meeting of the British
Amateur Athletic 'association, which
followed, t bis ruling was upheld, the
American athlete permanently sus
pended and the American "union noti
fied. When the matter came up before the
meeting the English ruling was ignor
ed and the following resolution unani
mously passed :
Be It resolved. That the secretary of the
Amateur Athletic union be instructed to
communicate with the secretary of tha
Amateur Athletic association of Great
Britain acknowledging the receipt of his
letter of Oct. & setting- forth its disquali
fication of Carpenter and replying that
this union declines to recopntie its dis
qualification of Carpenter.
It also passed a resolution prohibit
ing uuy association from giving per
mission to a registered athlete to com
pete iu any international competition
unless such meeting shall be approved
by the Amateur Athletic union.
After heariug the report of James E.
Sullivan, American commissioner to
the Olympic games in London, the
Amateur Athletic union adopted a res
olution giving its hearty approval and
Indorsement to Mr. Sullivan's actions
and to those of the American Olympic
committee.
As an indorsement of James E. Sul
livan's official connection with the
Olympic games iu London In July and
of bis manner of handling the Ameri
can team he was re-elected as presi
dent of the Amateur Athletic union by
a unanimous vote of the delegates.
WILLIE HOPPE IS A VOTER.
Doesn't Want to Be Called a Boy
Has Vaudeville Act.
" New York, Nov. 17 "I'm not run
ning away from anybody who wants
to play me at either style of 18-inch
balkllne, but it looks to me as if it is
going to be a dull winter In billiards"
said Willie Hoppe, who is to appear
in a new vaudeville act St the Fulton
theater In Brooklyn this week. He
said:" "After the finish of tne base
ball season I retired to Jersey, and
seldom saw Broadway. You see I'm
a regular man now. Voted for the
first time this fall, and they probably
will quit calling be a boy now. I'm
not, so far past twenty-one that I have
forgotten my birthday. I've been
husky enough for some time to hold
my own and more when it came to
rolling the ivories, and I hope to get
some good matches this winter. How
ever, I am not crazy about titles.
They don't get me much."
Out at RIdgefield, N. K where the
Hoppes reside, Willie has a private
table, but he hasn't been practicing
much for several months. Late In
the summer he submitted to an oper
ation in which he lost some of the
small bones in his nose. As a result
of this operation he dropped some
weight, and he has been busy since
trying to get It back by living an out
door life. He appears a bit peaked
but just as handsome as ever. As a
vaudeville star he will "look" and
"dress the part" well.
"I am putting in some good licks
now," declared the Juvenile expert
"and it won't be long before I'll be In
my old form. I don't bar anyone at
either game. There Isn't much chance
of Schaefer coming east, as he Is in
delicate health. Sutton is running i
room out In Chicago and Morning-
star is up In Canada, somewhere. I
don't believe Schaefer can play his
old game, though I see that he has
written to friends in Chicago . and
talks of playing again.
"When I beat Sutton for the 18.2
championship I said I never would
play another championship match of
500 points, and I still stick to that.
Class doesn't always tell In these
short gallops. Oftentimes a player
finds a match table slower or faster
than the one he has been practicing
on, and he cannot strike his gait at
once. Besides, the expense of run
ning a championship match is taken
out of the receipts, and as a rule
there Is not much left for the players
to cut up.
"I would just as soon play matches
where no championship was at stake,
but whether the title Is Included or
not there Is one condition that I will
Insist on the game must not be leas
than fifteen hundred points, divided
into not less than three nights play.
Any of them that want me on those
term can get me just as soon as they
put up a side bet that will make It
worth my while. In the meanwhile
I'll try to plug along on my latest
venture." ,

AMERICAN SKATER FIFTH.
Irvine Brokaw So Placed in Olvmoic ;
Furure Contest in London.
Irving Brokaw of the St Nicholas ,
Skating club was the only American
figure skater to try for the Oylmplc '
title a little more than a week ago at
the Princess club, London. He won
the American championship a couplfj
of years ago, but the figures here and
abroad are different, so Brokaw prac
ticed the foreign maneuvers all last ;
winter. In the compulsory skating
there were six figures, and after th
points were summed up Brokaw got -no
better than fifth place. The win
ner was N. Salchow of Stockholm,
who has won both the world and Eu
ropean championships Six times and
ia the present holder of both titles.
R. Johansen and P. Thonen of Swe
den were second and third respective
ly; E. K.. Orelg of England was
fourth. , . -
Though, defeated, the English
critics- think well of the American
and are of the opinion If he trained
for a couple of years at the forelrs
figures he would come out ahead. In
the free skating Brokam introduced
something new to the spectators In
the way of twoplns and jumps. He
skated the easy figures well, but
failed In the rockers, n which he ev
hlbited change of edge. Mrs flyers
of London won the ladles' flan re
championship easily. .
