suit of the conference between the
representatives of the Navy Athletic

settled that the Army-Navy football
game will be played in Philadelphia

be curtailed. II this can be done
the game will go back to Franklin
field. II is proposed to put benches
around the field just inside the
fence, but this has not yet been set
tied.
Prof n. NJ. Terry and the other
members of the navy and army COM
mittees visited the grounds of the
Philadelphia National league base
ball club on Broad street, and Prof
Terry said that they were much
pleased with them. --.e owners
will allow the use of the grounds
for the game either at definite sum
or will allow each service 10000
seats and will offer the rest for sale,
the money received being by way of
rental for the grounds.

Some Of the Big Teams Have Differ.
ences to Adjust.

Ithaca, Feb 11.-Cornell and
Princeton will not play football next
fall becase of difference as to the
place where the game should be
played. The Cornell position is out
lined by Judge Irvine, president Of
the athletic council, and graduate
Manager Dugan in the following
statement issued last night:
ut is true there will be no foot
ball game between Cornell and
Princeton next fall A three year
agreement made in 1905 has ex-
pired. Under this one game was
played in Princeton, one in New
York and one in Ithaca. Princeton
had the option of renewing this
agreement, but declined to do SO.
Cornell proposed home and home
agreement, the first game to be in
Princeton, but Princeton declined to
play in Ithaca at any time and pro-
posed first one and then a two
year agreement ,or games In New
York or Princeton. me Cornell
faculty and athletic management
both oppose contests in large cities
on grounds not of the competing uni
versity. For this reason and be-
cause Princeton's proposal was
deemed by Cornell and admitted by
Princeton to be inequitable 1t was

PENNSYLVANIA LEADS.
Quaker Five Apparently Booked to
Win Basketball Title.

In the intercollegiate basketball
league Pennsylvania. by play the past
week, has about made 1t certain to
win the championship. The Red and
Blue have a clean score, having won
four games. The best feature is that
the Quakers in these four games have
defeated Yale twice and Columbia
once. The worst of the Pennsylvania
schedule thus is over. although bar
ring one game with Cornell at Phila-
delphia, the remaining are out Of
town.
BY beating Columbia at home Yale
is in second place. Cornell, improv-
ing under the direction Of Haggerty,
new coach, has won a game, thus
showing Princeton into last place with
a clean score-of defeats.
The tendency in basketball this
season plainly has been toward
rougher games. In the opinion Of
many the rules committee would do
well to take cognizance of this condi-
ton, unless basketball is to fall into
the state in which football was be-
Rora tie raform Tho standing.

HARyARp,s NEW COACH.

Cambridge. Feb 11.-Percy ID.
Haughton has been appointed head
coach for the Harvard football
eleven for next fall. The appoint.
ment was made by the athletic as
ISOLATION, was not unexpected and is
one that is regarded fayorably by
the undergraduates in general. The
poor success OF the Crane regime
last fall made Il probable that a new
coach would be selected. Harvard
football adherents are hopeful Of
good results from Haughton's coach
ing. especially II he has as good ma
terial to work with as Crane had.
He has much more practical knowl-
edge Of the game than Crane had.
Haughton played tackle on the
championship Harvard eleven which
defeated Yale in 1898. Besides
being a first class tackle he was
fine punter and did the booting for
the Crimson on the rain soaked field
in New Haven in 1898. He coached
at Cornell for a couple OF seasons
after leaving college and turned out
a team that downed Princeton ~ to
%. He has been identified with Har-
ward footballs coaching since being
graduated. He Is considered a COM
petent handler OF men and has kept
In touch with the game under the
new rules. II is possible that he may
succeed Crane az the Harvard repre-
sentative on the rules committee.

days meeting of the National Roller
Polo league directors at New Haven,

Managers Starkie and Hanna measur-
ed the pads worn by Mallory, the goal
tender of the Providence team, which
played here last night. The commit
tee found Mallory's pads regulation
size. The appointing of the commit
tee grew out of the protest of Provi-

declared that Mallory's pads in that
game were too large.

ROLLER POLO AVERAGES.
IFahey Giving Jean Great Race For
Foul Record.

Fahey has taken the bit into his
teeth and is making a runaway race
for the foul record in the National
Roller Polo league. He gained heav-
lily upon Jean last week, as the New
Britain captain was on his good be-
haviour and was penalized but once.
Jason is rapidly overhauling Hart as
goal getter and is closing up on
Lincoln In the rushes. There was
something about the modern Athens
that didn't agree with the former
Hartford players and the wanderers
have fallen behind in everything
since they migrated to Beanville. 1t
remains to be seen what they will do
in the City Of Homes. Their advent
may brighten up the sporting pages
a bit, anyway. The records up to last
night are as follows.

ROOSEVELT WAS A FIGHTER
And Came Back for More, Despite
Bloody Face.

Boston, Feb 11.--Harvard men
read with great delight the expose
OF the falsIty of Theodore Roose-
velt's statement that he was at one
time lightweight sparring champion
OF the college.
William W. Coolidge. who was
beaten by Roosevelt in the first bout
of the championship tournament in
1879, yesterday retold the story Of
how Roosevelt was whipped by
Charles stedman Hanks in their
bout. Coolidge admits that RoOse-
Welt gave him a punch on the nose
that made him see stars.
What kind of gloves did you
use. small ones?" Mr. Coolidge was
asked.
NO. pillows. Mr. Roosevelt was
a strenuous Kid. I remember one
night when he boxed against Weld.
Weld. you know. gave the new build
ing OF the Peabody academy OF SCI
ence in Salem. Weld hammered
Roosevelt all over the ring. but
Teddy came back for more every
time. though his face was covered
with blood.
In the semi-fnais with Hanks,
Roosevelt lost the decision. Hanks's
arms were twice as long as Roose-
velt's. Teddy eouldn't get inside Of
those fails Of Hanks's for a min
ute. He was also handicapped by
his nesrsightedness. for he e0uId not
wear his glasses and without them
could not see. Hanks Won the de-
cisIon all right"
Mr. Coolidge says Hanks was sf-
teruard beaten BIZ Cushing. but no
records Of this match are 10 be found
