BILL" REID WILL
COACH HARVARD
Former Star Chosen to Reorganize
Crimson Gridiron Forces Next
Fall-Won IN 1907.

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 2.-Bill Reid has
been appointed head coach of the Har-
ward varsity eleven for next fail He
arrived here late yesterday afternoon
He made the hurried trip East to confer
with Hurley, the captain of next falls
football team, in regard to again being
the head football coach at Cambridge
Reid's arrival is the result of yolunli-
nous correspondence since the close OF
the football season last fail between him
and Hurley Reid has been asked to
coach HurIey's team and is willing 10
do so, but before definitely deciding 10
accept the position he came East to get
thoroughly in touch with football affairs
at Cambridge and to make known the
conditions under which he will assume
charge of the team and the method OF
coaching 1t.
Reid is looked upon as the one man who
can successfully reorganiZe Harvard
football forces. For the last three years
there has not been unanimity among
the individual coaches, and Harvard,
therefore. has not been able to draw
from her best football brains all the
time The failures to beat Yale in 1902
and in 1865 each brought shake-up. not
only aIuong the coaches but in methods.
so thar today Harvard is as far from
having a football system as she Was
when Reid took hold of things IN 1901.

Letter and a Poem
From a Man of Braun
BeinQ Recital by Samson Little of How He
Did Meet and Vanquish a Most Fear
some Adversary in Cory Contest.

All truly great men have been blessed
with the virtue of modesty, and this
trait has been extolled by their bio
sraphers, but even modesty can be car
ried to excess. Such an instance is fur
nished by Samson Little, the strong
man who is after a match with J. S.
Farley. and is so hefty that he could
have lifted the gloom that fell upon
the Democrats after the last election.
IN his enthusiastically shy and re-
firing style Little writes to the sporting
editor of The Times, and follows his let
ter with a poetic effusion in which he
relates in unassuming lines his latest
exploit
The Letter.

NEW HARD RUBBER
BALL FOR B0WLERS

Edward B. Wilder. the star tenpin
bowler of the Cabanne team, of ST.
I-5uis, who recently broke the Missouri
record for tenpins in a match game,
has a new theory on bowling.
Mr.. Wilder believes hard rubber
ball is much better than the wooden
ball commonly in use by tenpin rollers.
When he broke the record Wilder
used ball expressly manufactured for
himself out OF hard rubber The Ca
banne crack AYERS that the hard rubber
has much virtue for tenpin balls. In
the first place, il has peculiarly elias
tic quality which gives TO the ball the
proper nvelincss. and then, what is of
more Importance. it never loses its
shape.
Il rolled a wooden ball for six months,
taking the proper care of it, and with
every precaution IL was three-eights of
an inch untrue In its diameter One can
readily see the difference this would
make IN rolling a game where the
greatest accuracy is required
THE hard rubber ball does not get
cat OF gear. ! have used one for more
than a year on the Grand alleys. and al
lowed others 70 use 1t, and 1t has lost
none of its good qualities or shape
lit canttot be said that a hard rubber
ball will make a perfect bowler out of
every terpin roller. but it has a tend
ency to help one just as good tools
benefit one In any vocation.
No one could claim for the hard rub
Der ball that IL would produce a crop
or 300 rollers. but its elasticity and
wearing qualities besides its ability TO
hold its shape. make II an excellent in
strument in the hands of an experienced
bowler
When the cabanne bowler rolled his

In the presence of the President and

Secretary Morton is no small man, be

Yamashita handled him as he liked,

Senator Lodge was one of the specta-
