.PENNSY MAY DROP
CARLISLE CONTEST
General Feeling Is Against
Scheduling Redskins
Next Fall.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. I'm the
comment which has arisen following
the game with the Carlisle Indians the
general feeling at the University of
pennsylvania seems 10 be that the Red
skins will not again appear on the
Quaker schedule
DIT. Carl Williams said: u see no
reason why we should retain them on
our schedule. and am fully In sympathy
with the action to drop them entirely.
The Indians are a team that does us
no good whatever. If we defeat then
it is no advantage to US, and If thew
defeat US it does US a great deal OF
harm.
If we can arrange an interesting
schedule. then by all means 1 should
say drop the Indians. They play a
spectacular game and one which the
public likes to see, but If we could sub
stitute another game for them IT would
be of much more benefit to us"

DONOVAN LIKELY
TO SUCCEED LAKE
Former Manager of Nation
ais Seems Down for
Boston Berth.

BOSTON, Nov. John L Taylor.
president of the Boston American
League baseball team. and Patsy
Donovan, former manager of the
Brooklyn National League and the
Washington American League teams,
are in conference today, and it Is
practically assured the meeting viii
end in the selection OF Donovan to
manage the Rex Sox next year.
The resignation of former Manager
Fred Lake because Taylor refused to
give him a bonus for the great work
done by the team this year. was an
unpleasant surprise for the Boston
fans. Lake did wonders with a green
team, and the Red Sox supporters had
visions of q pennaut next year with
Lake at the helm
DonOVan's connection with former
taii-enders does not arouse any en-
thusiasm at the prospect Of his seIee-
ton.
Lake will probably acquire an in
terest IN minor league team, p0ssi-
bly, at Lowell.

The discussion of the merits of foot
ball which has naturally followed the
death of Cadet Byrne, left tackle on the
West Point teams killed in the game
with Harvard last Saturday, has taken
an unexpected turn. Instead Of the rabid
and foolish denunciations which were
so much the fashion a few years ago,
when the same subject was before the
public, the great preponderance of opin-
ion from those whose word counts is
that the game should be continued, but
modified. And there's the rub. The
present style of SO-called mass plays
are not necessarily the most dangerous
feature. The tackling of a man going
az full speed by another man going in
the opposite direction will always be
traught with the possibilities of acct
dent. But. If tackling be abolished. what
kind of a game viii American football
become? Hamlet with the ghost left
out VIII have nothing on football in that
condition It will be as much like the
real thing as baseball without a pitcher
or nigh society without a scandal. No
system of rules can totally obvfate the
possibility of injury unless American
football IS so changed 1t will no longer
deserve the name.
