Yale Is Worrying OUer the
Coaching Problem for 1911

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 90
1t will be problem to pick a head
coach for the Yale team next year.
1t has been a custom, which has
not been lived up to more than half
the time to have the captain of the
outgoing team coach the Yale
eleven, and for this reason Head
Coach Coy accepted the position
this year.
But there is a great deal of ques-
ton as to whether Captain DAILY
could give up his time, as he is
going to work Immediately after
graduation.
Tom Shevlin could not spare the
time from his. business in the west.
even though the results of his work
would be as good as they were this
year and it is doubtful if Frank
Hinkey would be willing to take
the responsibility.
Hinkey is always ready to give
his best to help whenever and
wherever necessary, but he would
not like the position of head coach.
1t is also doubtful if, in the in
terest of harmony, it would be well
to appoint Foster Sanford, though
1t Is an admitted fact that the
credit for this years eleven should
go to Sanford, Hinkey and Shevlin

Moran rushed at him like tiger

Dane pitched forward on his head,

FIRST PICTURE nelson. MORAN FIGHT
BATS FINISH LIKE
HIS CAREER,
GAME
BY RINGsiDER.

At last, Battling Nelson, the
gamest, toughest, lad in any class
that ever pulled on glove,
the most wonderful piece of
fighting machinery the ring has
ever known, has been counted out.
Though helpless, his face a smear
of blood, his eyes aglaze, the great
Dane in his fight in San Francisco
with Owen Moran, again demon
strated that his is heart of oak.
Although beaten to a pulp, he tried
to come up after the final knock
down and wanted to resume, feebly
protesting through his swollen lips
that he had not been knocked out
And he wasn't, although it will go
in the records as knockout.
1t was simply another case of not
being able to come back. The mar
velous fiber which has withstood
more and harder beatings than any
man has taken, was worn, nature
has paid it's toll, the cogs and cams
slipped too easily and the newt
able was defeat.
Nelson has fought his last fight,
but the glory of his career is not
dimmed. He was square fighter,
he was game, he was always on the
level and he never failed to fight
his hardest, no matter what the
odds against him. For eight of the
IA years he has been in the ring he
fought an uphill battle and when he
reached the top he was ever ready
to take on the hardest men in the
game. He sidestepped none Of
them and when they asked for an
other chance he never denied it.
Truly great fighter, Nelson has
carved distinctive niche for him.
self in the ring history. Decades
after the present fight fans are
gone, the generations to come will
speak of him as the hardest nut
in the world to crack"
Which he was.

theme suggested in Charles K. Harris

panageric on marital fidelity. In this
day and age of divorce court scan

it is indeed time that some one had the
courage to take the matter in hand and
treat the subject as it truly deserves
to be treated. Cast Aside" is graphic
in it's treatment of this common theme.
1t abounds in situations calculated to
make one think, but on the otherhand
it is relieved of its somberness by n

WHAT KINNEY SAID.

John Kinney is a detective connect
ed with the Davenport police depart
ment He was chosen captain of the
baseball team organized from among
the police officers of that city to meet
the Rock Island police team in the an
nual game played here last Sunday.
Remember the score? 1t was terri
BILE slaughter. Rock Island won 81 to
4. The Saturday before the battle Kin
ney said in an interview with a news
paper reporter IN his home city, We'll
slip it over on them this year. In pre-
Vious years we have not practiced,
while the other side did. The result
was that our men would go to pieces
before the Rock Island boys were
warmed up. But we have been playing
together every afternoon for month
in preparation for Sundays contest.
They may score, but l doubt it. We
are going to rub it in as hard as we
know how. We've got them this time
and they know it. They have been
shaking in their boots for week. It's
really a shame to do it,
Kinney has attempted no explana-
ton since the game, but he admitted to
a few of mis- intimates that the Daven-
port police department has about the
worst bunch of baseball false alarms
that he ever heard of.
