DOINcS AMONG THE
COLLEGE ATHLETES

Some one down Philadelphia way
says Wilton c. PAUL may essay to
win the $50 yard, one mile and two
mile runs in the intercollegiate
games this year.
Sewanee, which played Princeton
at football last year, has arranged
for game with Chicago in 1910.
The fastest quarter-mile runner in
is Ira Davenport, '12, of the Uniyer-
sity of Chicago. He was doing 40
seconds as a freshman last year
There is probably no one man
who has been mentioned for more
physical directors places of late
than Howard Jones, of Yale. Wis
consin, Ohio State and Oregon are
the latest that are supposed to have
him.
John Flanagan, it is reported from
Hanover, will assist Harry Hillman
for a brief time with his weight
events candidates at Hanover. John
will have to do that in his vacation
time or else will have to get leave
of absence from the police depart
ment
Robert Williams, who was intro
ducing soccer at Georgetown, has
resigned. He will take up the work
at Virginia now, as President Alder
man and Prof. Lambeth are not fav-
orably disposed to the game.
Brooklyn, some one says, has had
more star athletes at Yale than any
other city in the country. Brooklyn,
L. l., is meant.
Before football is reformed the
opinions of at least 80 per cent. of
the members of the college faculties
will have been heard on the subject.
U. G. Mellick, of Trenton, is cap
tain of t,.e eros country team of
1910 at Princeton.
Steve Farrell, the pro sprinter,
has a contract to train the athletic
teams at Ohio State University.
Mike Murphy and Johnny Mack
recommended him for the place.
Bowdoin is supposed to want Ber-
gin, the Princeton quarterback of
1909, to coach the football team this
fall
Harvard bases a claim to cosmo-
politanism on the three quarter
backs of the 1909 team, O'Flaherty.
Wigglesworth and Galatti
1t Is likely that the action of
Chicago and Illinois in scheduling a
soccer football game for next fall
may be the forerunner of a confer
ence soccer league. President Jud-
son, of Chicago, is strongly in favor
of the game.

1t is believed in baseball circles
that the national commission will he
fore many days ascertain Just who ia
the owner OF the Philadelphia Ma
tional League Club, a question that
mas ag1tated the sporting world for
several months. William Murray.
the deposed manager of the Philadel-
ph1as, went to Cincinnati to lay his
claim for back salary and the recog-
milton OF his contract before the COM
mission.
The fact that Cincinnati is the
home of Charles P. Taft, whose pur-
chase of the Philadelphia grounds
caused comment, may render the
work of the commission easier in de-
termining If there is anything in the
rumor Of Syndicate baseball, :"
which has recently been lively
topic. President Horace Fogel, the
former baseball writer, now at the
head Of the Philadelphia club, GUST
ed Murray and placed the manage
ment of his team in the hands of
Charles Doolin; hence Murray's ac-
tivity in appealing to the national
commission.
Murray Case Heard by Commission.
Cincinnati, Jan. 6:-President
Hermann, of the Reds, who was yes
terday reelected to the post of chair
man of the National Commission,
and thus again recognized as the
leader of baseball in America, hand
ed out yesterday afternoon what
might be called a 'sizzler" against
Syndicate baseball. 1t is contained
in his annual report. After COM
menting upon the degree of popular
ity to which the national game is
developing and noting the fact that
several of the clubs have been for
tunate enough recently to build their
own beautiful parks and grounds, he
says:
This condition of affairs (its pop
ularity), however, will not continue
very long If syndicate baseball Is
permitted to enter the game, and l
cannot conceive that az club-owner
will differ with me on thu subject. II
it is attempted, no matter in what
league or in what city, prompt ac-
ton must be taken not only by the
national commission, but everyone
else interested in the perpetuation or
the national game or Immediately
repress it."

FIFTEEN STAKES ON
THE Y0NKERS CARD

The Empire City Racing Associa-
ton, of which James Butler is the
president, has decided to offer fifteen
stake events to be run at Yonkers
this year. The Empire City Handi-
cap, one mile and furlong, will be
the feature, as usual, and will have a
guaranteed value of $4,000, $1,000
more than last year. The value of
the other stakes will be proportion
ately increased and the conditions
will be made known at an early date,
together with time for the closing Of
entries.
President Butler, who is heavily
interested in the Juarez track in
Mexico, left Ell Paso on Sunday and
announced that upon his arrival east
he would proceed to let the contracts
for .iany extensive improvements at
the Westchester course. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Butler is well salts
fed with the present winter meeting
at Juarez and believes that next year
the new track will prove an unquali-
fed success.

Baseball, Athletics,
Bowling.

The second game of the basketball
league series, played last night in
the Auditorium during the dancing
class reception, resulted in a victory
for the Danish Sociable Athletic
Club, which vanquished the Puritan
A. G. five by score of II to 5. In
weight the Danish athletes slightly
outclassed their smaller opponents,
but nevertheless a splendid exhibit
tion of the game was seen.
The first half developed some
spectacular playing. At its conclu-
sion the tally stood 5 to 5. The
Puritan lads featured with clever
passing of the ball in the first
half. In the following half the
Danish Sociable players slowly
crawled away from their opponents,
making baskets and profiting by
Puritan fouls.

ON SUNDA VS.

New Brunswick, Jan. 6:-New
Brunswick viii have all league
games on Sunday during the coming
season if the plans Of the present
athletic committee OF the New
Brunswick Outdoor Amusement
Company are carried out. At the
last meeting of the old board Of
directors Tuesday night Messrs.
George Seifrert, Joseph L. Broffe
and Thomas Revollnsky were ap-
pointed committee with power to
attend the meeting Of the Tri-state
league schedule committee at Ian
caster, Pa, and arrange for one or
more games with each club in the
league. These games will be sched-
uled for dates at which the teams
will be in Trenton.
AS there are eight clubs in this

days should be taken care OF and
other big league clubs viii be en-
gagged for the Sundays not taken.
The present board intends to, If pos
sible, organize a local league for
Saturday ball, according to the idea
proposed by Dave Driscoll.
At the annual meeting which will
be held on Tuesday evening, Janu-
ary 18. at o'clock in Stenger's
Hotel on French street, the directors
for next year will be elected. The
board Of directors will then organize

There are several other references
to the same topic in the report, and
while no names are mentioned, the
public sees that he means the at
tempt of c. w. Murphy and Charles
P. Taft to Syndicate" the Phlladel-
lphia National League Club.
One of the funny points about this
topic is that Mr.. Taft seems to like
it. He gave out an interview here
commenting upon Herrmann's state
ment which he had read.
Il certainly approve of everything
Mr.. Hermann has said,' said Mr.
Taft. 81 like his idea of keeping the
league free from blemish and entire
ly in the clear from any financial
subjugation.
He said that he had read the re-
port before it was published and that
nothing had been placed there to in
anv way cause his objection.
The national commission heard
yesterday the case of Manager Billy
Murray, of the Quakers. 1t referred
the claim for a salary of $4,000,
instead of $4,000, as offered him, to
the National League directors. The
commission said that the case would
first have to be decided by the di-
rectors, and that after it had been
heard there and a decision given, it
could then be brought to the COM
mission for settlement. Mr.. Herr
mann said that he had been under
the impression that it had been set
tied by the league directors. How
ever, this action will in no wise hurt
H,,,.rov ola Tho diraatOrG will
have to award him a sum: then, if
he is dissatisfied, he can bring the
case back md be awarded either an
other sum OF the same by the COM
mission. Murray seemed satisfied
with this statement from the COM
mission, md stated that he will i'm
mediatel, file the claim with the
board u directors.

ho.-Forty suits have been given out
to the players, old and new, of the
University of Idaho. At present
practice is not so rapid because the
men do not turn out regularly. From
last years team seven men have been
out to practice: Hillman, fullback,
Hayes guard; Williams, tackle; Cur
tiss and Perkins quarters and Ed
mundson at end The positions of
these men may, according to, Coach
Griffith, be changed to suit the new
rules. Coach Griffith seems salts
fled with the showing the men have
made and although the team may
be light he thinks they are speedy
enough to handle the new rules.
Captain Joe Thornton has not re-
turned to college. but is expected in
a few days.
Under the leadership of Thornton
and coaching of Griffith, who turned
out the 1906 championship team,
Idaho will make a good fight this
year.

HOW THE NORTHWEST CONFERENCE COLLEGE
FOOTBALL TEAMS LOOK IN THE EARLY SEASON

team being lost by graduation or by
withdrawal from college.
Keck, who will probably be the
mainstay Of the team this year be-
cause of his experience and ability as
backfield player has fully recov-
cred from the injury to his ankle,
which SO handicapped him during the
latter part of last season. He has
been punting in a way that pleases the
new coach very much and he moves
about the field with the same ease
that characterized his work last year.
Hawley, the man who made an ex-
ceptional record last year as a guard
and tackle. will be the main pillar in
the line Dunn, who like Hawley,
made his first appearance on the first
team last year. IL he holds his posi-
ton at center will have to divide
with Hawley the responsibility that
falls to the experienced men on the
team. Enberg is showing surprising
skill as a punter, and may share hon.
ors with Keck in this department Of
the game.
It is impossible to make any predic-
tions at this time as to the probable
strength Of the team that will repre-
sent the college this year The only
thing that seems to be certain is that
the team will be light and will be
made up very largely Of green mate
rial. 1t seems at this time that the
best chance the college has for success
on the gridiron this year lies in the
possibility Of working out a system
Of plays under the new rules which
will favor a light fast team.

man out who can wear a suit and
tbs squad will get plenty of scrim-
mage practice. Lewis will show well
at end this year, He has speed and
a knowledge Of the game, combined
with accuracy in catching forward
passes that should land him on the
Northwestern all-star aggregation
this year.
Borleske's loss has been supplied.
R Niles, as heavy as Borleske, as fast
as strong and as good a runner, is
taking his place at half back. He is
doing more than that too, he is kick
ing the ball SO and so yards regular
ly: and McCaa says he will do better
before the games begin. He kicks
wicked spirals and he could not have
a better teacher in this department
than the coach, who held his own
with Coy among the eastern colleges
and universities.
Another big help this year will be
Cox at quarter. He is heady and
quick. He is a better man with the
ball than Belt, and under the new
rules can be counted upon for some
big gains with the pigskin.
Bennington is showing up well at
center. with Sam Hughart as alter
nate. Both are Ritzvlle men. Proud
foot will be in school again next week
and will play the other end. Neill
and Blomquist are doing great work
at tackle, and Cole, Cleman, Hughart
and Mccoy will try for guard posi-
tions.
The backfield will be fast, mighty
fast. Cox, Niles and two more to be
picked from Johnson, Kinder, Dres-
ser and Mccoy will make hard quar-
tet. Dresser has not returned yet but
will next week.
The first intercollegiate game will
be played at Seattle with the Uni
versity of Washington

w. S. O. Has Hard Schedule.

Washington State College, Pullman,
Notwithstanding to the present pros
poets. the w. s. college football team
will this year head into the heaviest
games of the schedule without the
usual practice games with high
schools and normals of eastern Wash
ington. No practice games have been
scheduled thus far, the first game
being with the University Of Idaho on
October 22 at Pullman. o. A. G. fol-
lows on the goth at Corvallis, and pos
sibly there will be game with the
Multnomah Athletic club on the 9Th
of November. Then comes what Is
expected to be it's big game of the sea-
son, that with the University or
Washington in Spokane. The Thanks
giving day game will be with the
Whitman Missionaries in Walla Wal
la.
Football practice has commenced
on Rogers field, few of the old tim
ers having got in early. Among them
is Fred Hunter, captain, and Jack
Nelson, w. s. C's crack sprinter, who
this year may be seen in a football
suit Last year he had a bug that
he could train up for the 100 in 9 3-5
but failed, taking the first place in
the middle west conference meet at
Urbana in 10 1-5. Nelson weighs close
to ITO pounds and is muscular in
proportion. but heretofore has kept
out of football, preferring to develop
his speed as a sprinter and middle
distance runner.
Asa Clark will be in the game and
will probably try for center, though
at present p. J. Laird, last years GEN.
ter, has the edge on this proposition.
P. ]. Cherry, alias "Chub" Cherry, the
well-known Pullman center may re-
turn to college, and Skeels. Cornwall,
Matlock and Galbraith are certain to
be back but the new material to be
drawn upon is yet unknown.
