WESTERN FOOT BALLISTS
NOT AS STRONG AS EASTERN.

PHILADELPHIA, January 5.-Durtng the
past foot ball season critics frequently tried
to make comparisons of eastern and west
ern teams but their efforts usually failed
owing to lack Of knowledge of one of the
two sections. r. w. Maxwell, the giant
player from Swarthmore. has just returned
from his Christmas trip to his home in Chi
cago and he makes the following compari-
sens:
1.-The eastern game is played in a more
scientific manner than in the west, and the
style of play and the players are better in
this section of the country. In the west
they try more open game and intersperse
their play with tricks; in fact, might say
that on an average one play in eight is a
trick. The western teams are not taught to
stand a grueling contest, and if they went
against team which used line plunges all
the time they would not last out the first
half. The only western eleven which uses
line plays to any extent is Michigan, and
that they won the western championship
four years In succession Is proof of the SUI
periority Of that style Of play. There are
not enough good line mea in the west to
survive an entire game il given the ball, and
line man is rarely pulled back to carry the
leather.
Most of the universities contain one star
player. such as Eckersall of Chicago, and
Heston, '04, and Curtfss of Michigan, and
the balance of the team is built around that
one man. AS a result. If that star goes to
pieces the entire eleven follow suit In the
Chicago-Mtchigan game last fall Curtiss,
the latter's tackle, was disqualified, and
from that moment Michigan lost heart their
opponents playing around them.
'Wightman, Swarthmores fullback, saw
the observation-disclosures and Chicago
Michigan games. and followed them closely
from a players point of view. He told me
that the eastern teams had better rush lines
than either Chicago or Michigan and in the
latter game there was little ground gained
through the line. The westerners get off
their plays very much faster, but not as
effectively. That speed would avail them
nothing in the east, and sure way to break
1t up would be to take out time every min
ute or two"

NEW YORK, January 5.-While the pro-
posed match for the heavyweight cham
ptonship between Jack O'Bren and Gus
Rubin has not been clinched, there is every
indication that the men Will come together
in the near future. Rubin declares that he
is more entitled to a fight with Fltzsim-
mons conqueror than any of the other big
puailists for these reasons: II have beaten
Marvin Hart twice. once In the most de-
ctsive fashion. In our bout in Baltimore

ished. Under the circumstances did not

SHECKARD FINALLY
SIGNS WITH CHICAGO,

LANCASTER, Pa, January 5.-James
Sheckard. the great fielder, will play with
the Chicago National League team. There
Is no doubt of this, for James himself volun-
teered the information today that he had
sent President Murphy of the Chicago club
his signed contract. He even appeared
pleased at the prospect of playing with
Chicago and expressed the opinion that
Murphy would have "swell' team next
season.
When 1t was first announced that Sheck-
ara mad been exchanged by the Brooklyn
club in consideration for four able-bodied
Chicago players, Sheckard worked himself
into rage and said he would never play
with western organization, and would go
to the independent league rather than play
on Murphy's team. The great fielder felt
hurt that he had been exchanged without
his consent being asked, and was not In
the least battered over the fact that Chi
cago had had to give four men to get him.
A rev days ago Murphy announced that
Sheckard had given in and would wear a
Chicago uniform This was strenuously
denied by Sheckard, and Murphy appeared
to have made a bad blunder. The fact that
cago shows that Murphy has lived I'D to his
far-faned reputation diplomat and jol-
Her. Murphy had little talk with the ex-
Brookynite and the latter took a great
liking to the new head Of the Chicago club
Sheckard no longer grieves over the
change. He never got along very we'll with
EhbettS of Brooklyn and his playing fell
off considerably while he was one of the
Trolley Dodgers.

HELD FOR MURDER.
One of Victims Relatives Arrested in
Edwards Case.

After day of feverish inquiry into the
mysterious murder of Charles A. Edwards.
Coroner Eli Mix. at New Haven. Conn,
last night ordered the arrest of Allen
Maxey Hitler, one of the two brothers-in-
law of the victim.
There is no charge against Hitler. Cor
oner Mix has merely employed a law of
Connecticut, which gives him almost plen-
AIRY powers In a case of this kind. to ar
rest and detain as a witness only any per-
son, at his own discretion, whether or not
there is indication that such person has
addiction of the county or state authorities.
This action was taken almost inmedi-
ately after w. H. L. Edwards. a nephew
of the murdered man. had testified before
the coroner. w. H. L. Edwards Is law
partner of Representative Francis Burton
Harrison, with Offices In New York.
The relation of the younger Edwards with
his aunt's brothers detention is mys-
terry. about which he is not at present in
ciined to be communicative.
Edwards was asked last night blunfiy
whether or not he had received from busi-
ness associates OF his uncle In New York
information which led to show that Charles
A. Edwards life had been threatened by
any person concerned in the settlement OF
old Mrs Abigail Killers estate. He replied
that he had no such information. He add ID
that his presence In New Haven could lie
accounted for by his desire to relieve his
aunt OF the care of her late husbands body
and Of annoyance relative to the excite
ment over the murder.

company. When Chase reported to us in
the spring I showed him what signals we
were using for our plays, and he did not

watching for the signals and always did his
part in pulling off the play that was sig
nailed for. He runs the bases with his head
on a pavot-has his head turned or In posi-

HARVARD DEMANDS
REFORM OR WILL QUIT.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. January 5.-Prof,
H. s. White, chairman of the Harvard
athletic committee, made an unofficial
statement last night regarding Harvard 9
attitude on foot ball. Prof White said
that If the action of the foot ball rules
committee'is not radical enough, Harvard
will go 1t alone.
Harvard is not opposed to foot ball as a
sport. he said, but only as it was played
during the past season. The Harvard COM
mittee will probably take some radical
action within the next two weeks II the
game Is changed, 1t will be played In Cam
bridge next fall If 1t cannot be changed,
Harvard will not play intercollegiate
matches.
A report on the injuries suffered by
members of the Harvard foot ball squad
during the past season has appeared in
the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.
The report as made by Drs E. Fl. Nichols
and Homer B. Smith, who were in charge
of the squad, Is based on written state
ments of the players and clinical record.
The physicians state that there were las
injuries serious enough to keep the players
out of the game for day or more. No
mention is made Of minor injuries.
