VIEWS AT PRINCETON.
What is Thought Of the Forward Pass
and Onside Kick

PRINCETON. n. j.. December 15.-Says
the Princeton Alumni Weekly: That play
the forward pass-originally proposed as
means of offsetting the ten yards for first
down legislation and of opening up the
game. was SO hedged about with exceptions
that, as the Yale-Princeton game has
shown. any team is taking long chances in
Incorporating it as an important part of it's
attack. One lesson the rules committee
should take to heart in view of this game
is that Il forward pass should be freed of
restrictions that ieave its legal execution
too much in the discretion of officials
THE onside kick, which was not so much
restricted by the committee was used to
good advantage by Yale. whose coaches ap-
preciated its advantages and developed il
as fundamental part of the Yale attack.
Having been more successful with the for
ward pass in early games, Princeton had
paid less attention to the onside kick and
IL was not factor in the home teams PLAYS

MACKEY THROWN TWICE.
Exciting Wrestling Bouts at the
Light Infantry Armory.

Rob Roy Mackay the local welterweight
wrestler. was thrown twice in forty min
utes last night at the Washington Light
Infantry Armory Hail. on 10Th street, by
Eddie Barr of Cincinnati
The bout was one of the best that has
taken place in this cit; for some time, and
was witnessed by a large gathering of
snectators. Although Mackey lost the
match he put up q good bout Barr was on
the aggressive throughout the entire con-
test while for the most time Mackey was
kent busy breaking what looked like sure
fall holds On severa: occasions the Nls-
itor had double Nelson and hammeriock
holds on his opponent which he succeeded
in getting out Of.
Before the bout it was announced that
Joe Grant would challenge the winner,
therefore it is probable that he will meet
Barr in this city in the near futcre.
The first bout of the evening was match
between young Hoover and Earnest Guy,
in which the former won two out of three
falls. The first fall was won by Guy in
four minutes with a half-Nelson -and-leg
hold In the second bout Hoover got a
crotch-and-arm hold and pinned Guys
shoulder to the mat in two minutes. The
third bout was also won yhim in five
minutes by a hammer-lock hold.
The second preliminary was between
Cleveland Beckett and Jack Spaldng, in
which the latter gained the first two falls.
In the first bout spalding secured an arm
and-leg hold and pinned his opponents
shoulder to the mat in fifteen minutes The
second fall was made in thirty minutes with
a double Nelson hold.
In the main bout after short graphing
for holds, Barr threw Mackey to the mat
and kent him down during the entire thirty
six minutes until he secured scissors and
half-Nelson hold with which he pinned
his opponents shoulders. The second fall
was made in one and one-hali minutes oS
a scissors and Chancery hold.
Mr.. Patrick O'ConEor referred the bout.
Summary of bouts-YounS Hoover de-
feated Earnest Guy, two in three falls
Jack Spalding threw Cleveland Beckett
two straight falls
Eddie Badd won two straight fails against
Rob Roy Mackey.

to the rail- he rests the cue on the rail- and
guides it with the left arm. and makes the
stroke with the right. In making the masse
shot he reverses the system used by other
players. Instead of having the stroke arm
up above and the bridge down near the
balls he makes a bridge over his shoulder
and has the stroke arm down near the balls.
When asked for few pointers on the fine
points of the game and the best means by
which an amateur might accomplish the
best results, Mr.. Sutton stated the stroke is
the first important feature, the second is
the draw and follow, and the third single
cushion shots. These should be practiced
constantly by the amateur, and in short
time he will get surprising results.
Il believe in amateur receiving in
structions from the professional for the
reason that he can acquire more skill in a
dozen or more lessons than he perhaps
could in several years Of his own efforts.
The judgment of force is one Of the most
essential features. This can only be acquired
by a systematic system of playing the draw
and follow shots. 1 teach the draw shot by
a system, and can make the amateur who
has never played over dozen games in his
life play the draw shot with an accuracy
in two weeks which would make many of
the older players ashamed Of themselves. I
believe every man ought to play billiards.
1t is a mild form Of physical exercise and
splendid mental exercise"

BIG BOOM FOR

brighter prospects than just now. The
newly organized intercollegiate association,
composed of Pennsylvania. Harvard, Yale,
Princeton. Columbia and Brown, with a

been doomed before. The interest in this

CURTIS AND KUHLKE.
Candidates for President Of the New
York A. c..

York A. c..
NEW YORK December 15.-Alfred H.
Curtis and George w. Kuhlke are the two
members of the New York Athletic Club
who will be placed in nomination for the
office of president of the organization. Since
the resignation of John R. Van Wormer as
president some weeks ago there has been
an active canvass quietly carried on among
the leading spirits in the affairs of the club
as to available and qualified presidential
timber for the heads of the fractional tickets
which would be placed in the field
Those who for some time had been OPP
posed to the management of President Van
Wormer Immediately let it be known that
their choice was Alfred HI. Curtis, the pres
ident of the National Bank of North Amer
lea, an old athlete and officeholder of the
organization. Among the supporters OF the
resigning president Mr.. Curtis was not
looked upon with favor, and the increasing
opposition to his candidacy finally led them
to choose Mr.. Kuhlke, member of the
board of governors and known among the
club members one of the most earnest
workers for the welfare of the organization
as their leader. In many of the projects for
the financial betterment of the club which
President Van Wormer instituted so sue
cessfully Mr.. Kuhlke has been among his
trusted and valuable lieutenants. He is a
life member. and has served on several Of
the committees at present serving on the
committee on admission and office and au-
diting.
Those who are urging the election Of Mr..
Curtis point to his qualifications a finan-
cier as an indication of his ability to pilot
the club through the period of the next few
years, during which an Indebtedness ap-
preaching 100000 must be wiped out. His
supporters also lay stress upon the fact
that he Is an athlete and carried the mer
curry foot emblem to victory in the early
days of the club on the track at Mott Ha-
ven and elsewhere

VICTORIOUS IN GERMANY.
Success Of Dan Frank, New York Ma
tional Guardsman.

NEW YORK, December 15.--America's
great Olympic team, in spite of its fine rec
ord at Athens did not score all the Euro
pean honors taken by American athletics
in 1906. 1t has leaked out that Dan Frank,
the sterling runner and jumper of the ed
Regiment, A. A., while on a visit to Ger
many recently, took the Europeans into
camp in faultless style in an all-around
competition.
Despite the fact that two of the events
contested were not in Franks line he went
in and beat the Germans easily, winning
the 56-pound weight hitting contest Zone
hand), the parallel bar competition and the
running broad jump. All the events were
scratch. frank modestly refuses to dfvulge
the performances he accomplished. but that
he beat his European rivals and upheld the
reputation of America as the peer of ath-
letic nations is sufficient to satisfy his
friends. This is not Franks first taste or
international athletic fame. He was second
in the worlds cha mionship running broad
jump at ST. Louis in 1904
