ISSUES CALL
FOR HOCKEY
Twenty-Five Candidates Re-
spOnd-- New Team Must
Be Organized.

Twenty-Five aspirants responded to Cap
tain Curriers' call for candidates for the
Newark High School hockey team yester-
day afternoon. Although the local team
loses much talent from last years team.
there seems TO be many husky lads to I'll
in their places, and, Judging from present
indications, the prospects for a champion
team Is bright, even though the Montclalr
High School team. which landed the cham
pionship last season, loses but one man.
From the 1905-1907 team, which was prob
ably the best ever turned out at the local
High School, but four men return. The
team will miss greatly the services OF
Kenneth Dalzell, Cotton futile, Ainsworth
Hague and Ruei Paugh. Dalzell was cap
tain of the team, and scored about two
thirds of all the goals. He was very
speedy, heady and an accurate shot. Col
ton futile, rover on last years team. was
a very fast player and, In combination
with Dalzell. pulled or many hair-raising
plays. Ainsworth Hague was also a for
ward Of nc mean ability. Ruel Paugh was.
without q doubt, the best defensive cover
point TINT ever represented the school.
Notwithstanding these losses, Captain
Currier Intends to Guild up a team about
himself and Perry for a nucleus for the
forwards, and Franzen and Buckley for the
1ANfn 1AAAAN 40 WY HHGAAH aAAA L
curate in shooting; Perry is good, but a
little slow: Franzen at point Is Of fair
ability. and Buckley ut goal is hard to beat.
Among the new material for the forward
positions, Leslie Matthews, Junlus Smith.
Royal Brown and Norman Brooks seem
to have the call. On the defense, the nec.-
man will probably be William MartoD.-
The team Will practise tomorrow at tho

cause is familiar to all who have followed
closely the rules and regulations made by
the Western conferences restricting ath-
letics.
in 1905. a year in advance of the adop-
tion OF the freshman rule In the East, the
conference passed a rule deharring all
freshmen from university teams. at the
same time abolishing the freshmen teams.
thus cutting OFF every freshman from one
year Of competition and development.
This rule. naturally, drove from Western
schools every athlete of promise able to
go elsewhere. They could enter any col,
lege outside OF the conference and compete
on the varsity team during their first year.
This was not only a loss to the team of
1905, but TO the teams OF 1906, 1907 and 1908
as well, for it is natural to suppose that
every man entering the fall OF 1905 would
remain in college four years.
"In 1906 the conference followed with
other destructive legislation. A rigid three
year competition rule was passed; the
number Of games for each team was linz
tied to five; the training table was abol-
ished, and all preliminary practise of any
kind was forbidden. This made Western
schools even less attractive to Western
athletes. 1t promised the football player
a maximum of 10 games during his en-
tire college course Of four years, virtually
the number of any Eastern eleven; and
it robbed him of the privilege of represent
ing his university at all for more than
three years.
"All Nhese restrictions naturally cause
any man with athletic tendencies to enter
those universities where more freedom of
competition and development is permitted.
Such restrictions ave also made 1t almost
impossible to develop the men who did
enter conference colleges.

Robert c. Folwell, captain of the Uni

of scoring Is touchdowns shows that

UNION AFTER TWO
MORE Big CITIES

A lawson. promoter of tho new out
law Union Baseball League, says he
has numerous applicants for the two
vacancies in the circuit. 1t is not
likely that Wilmington, Lancaster or
Elizabeth will be taken in If larger
cities can be secured.
According to the latest plans New
York and Washington win be the
cities that will round out the circuit.
Two clubs are being considered in
New York, the Murray Hills and the
old Cedars. The Washington franchise
will be offered to Il. C. Langrath. who
owned the Pottsville Club in the At
lantic League.
This would make the circuit New
York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Washington, Newark. Paterson
and Reading. In the first three cities
there would be three clubs mex sea-
son, and in Newark. Baltimore and
Washington two.
The location of the grounds in Phila-
delphia and the hackers of the club
have not yet been made public, and
1t Is not likely that they will be until
the next meeting of the league. which
may be held in New York some time

The intention of the Woodside Pedestrian
Club is TO establish in the State Of New
Jersey one of the greatest athletic clubs
In the country. Although 1t is at present
a young club. scarcely three years old,
1t is considered on a par with any body of
athletes in the State.
The clu is fortunate in having the
services Of A. G.. Williams. AS its presl-

every prominent meet in the East. While
he is exceedingly proficient in every field
sport, his speciality is in the weights.
Williams holds the State records for the

YOST TELLS WHY EAST IS SUPERIOR TO WEST

Coach Fielding II. Yost. mentor of the
University of Michigan football teams. has
given out AL interview, In which he shows
how little love he has for the rules passed
by the Western Conference, which, he
claims. have been the undoing of the game
in the West.
The results of the intersectional games
OF 1907 leave us in the West no grounds
for claiming football equality with East
ern colleges. IT is true. the margin Of
superiority is small, but it is there never
theless. The best Western teams are
about the equal of such teams as Harvard,
Cornell and West Point.
1.-THE style of play made use of in the
two sections is very similar. OF course,
every team has its different ideas as to
the best plan of attack, and I believe that,
as a whole. the West relied more on open
work TO gain ground than the East.
For the last two years Western foot
ball has been far below its tandard dur
ing the years from 1901 to 1875. For in
