Better Regulation
of College Athletics.

New York. Dec. 23-AnOther step
Will be taken on Saturday looking to
the better regulation and supervision
Of college athletics at the second an
nual meeting Of the Intercollegiate
Athletic Association Of the United
States at the Murray Hill hotel This
association. which grew out Of the
conference Of colleges when the cry
went up against football in 1908. has
accomplished a great good in two short
years not only by placing football on a
firm and substantial foundation but BY
developing the principles of true anna
teur sport and maintaining them t. Il
large extent on an ethical plane III
keeping with the dignity and high pur-
pose of education" the declared object
of the association.
While the football rules committee
deserves all praise for the able and
satisfactory revision of the rules
which probably saved the game. chief
interest belongs perhaps to this assoc
citation, which took such Il firm while
friendly stand that an amalgamation
with the old rules committee was ef-
fected and the needed legislation Sc
cured. The building up of football when
in the hue ana cry against the sport
many were Influenced To tear it down
was only Incidental. however. to the
purposes of the association, and there
is still plenty Of work to be done. This
work could be FASTENED by the Coop
Grafton of some of the larger uniyer-
stiles, which for reasons that appear
sufficient to themselves, are still hold
ing aloof.
\ brave effort has been made during
the year to enlarge the scope and open
the doors to all. and if Yale. Princeton
and Cornell would join and lend their
aid it is safe to predict that the days of
PROSECUTING, unsportsmanlike conduct
and the playing of ineligible men would
be over for all time. even as they are
now numbered. The crusade against
summer baseball is likely to be the
keynote Of the meeting this week. The
executive committee has been engaged
III a sweeping investigation of this sub
jcCt during the year and in all prop
ability something more than a sporadic
effort will be made to stamp out the
evil.

MCGUIRE HAS GOOD
LINE ON 1908 TEAM

d Tim Murnane in the Boston GlOhf
says:
Manager James Mcclure al
ready has pretty fair line on the
makeup of his team for next year
In catchers he has Criger, Carrigar
and Donahue Criger gives promise OF
doing better work than for the last two
years. Carrigan improved wonderfully
last season, and is a fine batSman
While Donahue is said to be Il first
class throwing catcher with a good
head and a willingness to go the full
distance.
For pitchers there are "Cy" Young
Morgan. Winter. Tannehill. Birchall
Glaze and Friel. the latter clever left
handler from Wheeling. At least three
of the other box men under reserve
will be given Il thorough trying out
and with Jim McGuires coaching the
box department should show greatly
improved form over last season.
Joe Harris will go back to PrOvi-
dence as part of the trade for Second
BaScman O'ConnelI of the Providence
club.
Bob Cnglaub will more than likely
cover first base as Grimshaw has been
promised to Toronto if the other clubs
waive claim to him. This is a part of
the agreement made by the Boston club
when it secured Thoney.
Laporte and Mcconnell will fight it
cut for second base, and the youns
Providence wonder will make it in
teresting for his big opponent from
the New York Highlanders. Wagner
rt-lI hnr s.tA ,x+i+i, IN
sition to himself should prove a %
per cent. stronger player than he was
last season
Lord, Knight and Young Donahue
will be given a trial at third base. All
have shown ability to play the POSI-
ton. The one showing the best all
round form will be selected for the
berth. and one of the two left by the
elimination process will be sent to
some minor league. Baltimore would
like to get knight as a part of the deal
for Pitcher Birchall.
For the outfield Barrett, the old
timer, Cravath. the hard hitting Cali
fornian. Thoney. the brilliant player
from the Toronto club, and McHale of
the Pacific coast, have the best chance
for places.
Besides the above-named players
the Boston Americans will have at
least a dozen good men for a try out
Shaw. Grimshaw. Congalton, Suli-
van. Harris and Peterson will not be
found with the team. Peterson will re-
turn to Providence, as. no doubt, win
Harris, as part of the deal for McCon-
nell. Congaiton and Sullivan will go
BACK to the minors, unless clubs in the
American League refuse to waive
claims.
The more one sizes UP the talent Sc
cured by the Boston club the better
one likes the outlook for more consist
ent ball at the Huntington avenue
grounds next season.
The team will show increased snee5
and should improve the longer If n,ays
together.
