FEDERAL PRISONERS ARE
ENLIGHTENED TO LEMON HUE

Saffron was the prevailing color
among many of the prisoners who were
being held at the city hall by the in
surrectos. A number were suspected
of being spies and would probably have
been shot had it not been for Madero,
Gonzales, Orozco and the other lead
ers One of the prisoners is a mounted
policeman who has acted so insulting
to everyone who ventured into Juarez
at any time since he joined the force.
He was the color of an overripe lemon
and was scared so badly he could not
talk.

"Toots" Shultz to Work
Out With the Phillies

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 17.-Following
the announcement that the Phillies had
signed up Wallace Luther (Toots)
Shultz. the sensational University Of
PENNSYLVANIA pitcher, it was learned
at Penn chat Shultz would not return
to the Red and Blue institution to finish
his course. ShultZ will answer roll cali
when the PhillieS depart for their South
ern training camp on February 2S.
The retiring of ShultZ from the college
ranks brought forth considerable com
ment in athletic circles at Penn yeste:-
day. Mention of the names of several
candidates as captain of the Penn team
for the coming season were made.
Ernest Cozens, who captained the 1910
football team and a veteran member CT
the baseball nine. is prominently men
toned as the leader to succeed ShultZ.
CozenS has handled the curves of ShultZ
in all the important games during the
past season. Aldendeifer, second base
man of last years team, is also said
10 be a candidate. The election of cap
tain will be held within the next several
weeks, in view of the fact that the sea-
son at Penn will be ushered in on March

lies to a tentative contract on January 4.

Syracuse 1911 Football
Program Mapped Out

SYRACUSE, Feb. 1.-THE Syracuse
University football campaign for this
fall has been mapped out and will be
conducted under conditions radically
different from those prevailing in past
years.
For the first time in the history Of
football at Syracuse the entire sport
will be in charge of an advisory council
modelled somewhat along the lines Of
the Cornell system.
The members of this council have not
been appointed as yet, but 1t Is under
stood that the men will be selected from
those alumni who have been prominent
in football at the university in past
years The question of a coach for the
eleven next fall also came up for de-
cision at the meeting, and De Forest
Cummings, OF, was selected for the po-
sition Cummings will act as head
coach. and will have the assistance of
an advisory board of coaches. who will
supply members for active field work.
The new move is really a graduate
coaching, for which both alumni and
undergraduates have been agitating for
some time.
The success Of the new plan will be
watched with interest, since two Yale
players, Howard Jones and Tad Jones,
have coached at Syracuse with success
during the past few years. The eleven
will face a number of strong teams this
fall under the graduate system, and the
success or failure of the experiment will
be measured by the showing made
against these teams.

VIRGINIA TRACKMEN
PLANNING FOR VISIT
Hope to Beat Georgetown
and Win Point Trophy
Here March 4.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Feb. H.
The relay race with Georgetown and.
incidentally, the chances Of winning the
point trophy in Washington on March
4 are the two subjects that are holding
the immediate attention of Trainer Lam
nigan and the members and followers
of the Virginia track squad.
Until a week before the first race the
relay team has always been an unknown
quantity to almost everybody. perhaps
to Trainer Lannigan himslf, and this
is particularly true this year. What
ever the team may consist of, it will
have to show its best work against
Georgetown, as this is the only race
scheduled at present, and the reputation
of the team will rest with the result.
Douglas, sub-pitcher on the varsity
nine, and Todd, quarterback on the
football team, will be looked to as the
ran on the relay last year and are fast
men. Todd, running from scratch, fin
ished fourth in the quarter-mile at the
Johns Hopkins meet Saturday night.
Berkeley seems to be the most prOmis-
ing man after the two mentioned. He
door meets, winning second place in the
quarter-mile, both in Washington and
Baltimore. At the latter place he was
only three yards ahead of the scratch
man. Todd, at the start. Williams,
Piunkett, Memories and Caldwell will
make somebody work hard to hold
place on the team.
1t now seems probable that Larry"
Martin will be able to enter the George
town meet, but If he does so at the last
minute he will be far from condition,
for he will not have had any practice.
He is extremely anxious to participate.

.NO0NAN AGAIN COACH
FOR CATHOLIC TEAM
Letter of Acceptance Brings
Joy to Students Who Are
Planning Big Year.

The student body of the Catholic
University is elated over the fact that
al last arrangements have been made
with Pete Noonan to coach the base
pail team again this year. Up until
yesterday there was a shadow of doubt
letter Of acceptance says Coach
Noonan will Immediately assume charge
OF the team, and will bend all his eff
forts in the hope of developing an
organization of ball players that may
cope with the grand record left bv lafc
years team.
Noonan is popular at the university.
Inc students are planning to help him
IN every possible way. He will have the
heartest cooperation of the faculty
and officers of the athletic association,
as well as the extended efforts of the
immediate members of the ball team.
The first thing that the management
OF the team did yesterday upon receipt
OF Coach Noonan's letter was to make
arrangements for the immediate cree
uon OF the proposed new grandstand on
University Field. The old line of seats
along third base line will be removed,
and the new stands put out in the same
position. The field will be widened in
extreme center garden, and general all
round improvements will be made.
The augmentation Of facilities on the
athletic field Of the university will nrove
great benefit, as the large crowds
which have been attending all athletic
contests there of late will be much bet
ter accommodated than heretofore
That the followers of the Red and
Black expect a great season is evil
denced by the expedient manner in
which they have encouraged raising
finances. The minstrel show was a de-
cided success.

dance of the athletic association takes

Favored BY Special Grove
Association Committee to
Report Tuesday.
PLANS AND DATE ARE
TO BE RECOMMENDED
School Boy Meet Suggested AS
One of Big Features for the
Next Event.

That there is a strong possibility the
Federal Games will be held here next
year under the auspices of the Wash
ington Grove Athletic Association is
shown in the report favorable to the
project that the special committee will
make next Tuesday night.
This committee, consisting of MeSsrs.
Garges, Walker, and Morrison, was ap-
pointed some time ago to look into the
ACCESSIBILITY of resuming the Federal
Games under the direction of the Grove
association, and after examining the
matter from every angle this commit
tee has come to the conclusion that
properly conducted these games should
be a success.
To Recommend Plans.
The committee hopes to profit by the
failures and successes of former admin
istrations, and in their report will
recommend various ways and means
for the conduct of the meet.
One of the big features that is sug-
Eested by the committee is the intro
duction of a big school boy meet in the
afternoon.
This innovation is calculated to add
interest to the affair at home and lend
size to its Importance.
Question of Date.
If the report of the committee is
adopted next Tuesday as it is expected
It will be, the Amateur Athletic Union
will be asked to sanction February II,
1912, as the date of the games.
The Federal Games have been held al
Convention Hall for several years past
and have always proved attractive to
the athletes, although the success
financially has not always been great.
Last year the games were held under
the auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A, and
upon the failure of that institution to
again conduct them this year, they were
dropped.
