PROVIDENCE, r. l., Jan. 12-Base-
ball prospects at Brown took on an
added brightness when 1t became known
that two members of the freshman
class who are reckoned as star players
had fully passed their entrance exams
and are eligible to make the varsity
team.
The two men are Riley, of Brockton
third baseman, and reported to be one
of the best men with the stick who
ever came to Brown, and Dukette, a
star third baseman on the Allen school
team last year.
Their eligibility promises to material
ly strengthen the squad, and to make
the varsity practically sure of first
class infield, with Giles at first and
Nash in the shOrtstop berth.
Under Captain Giles the new battery
candidates reported for early cage work
today, following which they will be
subjected to an elimination process
based on the survival of the fittest prin-
ciple, until February l, when all the
battery men will get down 10 regular

Walter Camp Does Not Expect Any More Radical
Changes in Football Rules Until Another Seasons
Tryout Proves Alterations Necessary.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

Mr.. Camp, although a member of the
old school of football, is well salts
fed with the general workings of the
revised regulations. He believes,
however, that there are several points
that must he cleared up before the
beginning of the new season. He in
tends TO make suggestions of changes
in the wording of several of the rules
in the hope that the whole code may
be more readily understood by the
average follower of football as we'll
as those who are well versed in the
finer points of the sport
Unfair to Criticise Yet.
Like most football men, Mr. Camp
is of the opinion that it is unfair to
praise or condemn the present style
of play until the coaches have had a
further opportunity to refine ideas
that have been suggested since the re-
strictiOns were placed on the short
kicks, tackling, and other features of
the game.
The election yesterday of Bob Fish
er as captain of the Harvard is a
source of qualification to Mr.. Camp
as the expert picked that player for
the All-American team and was most
profuse in praise of the big guards
work.

Selection of Fisher
Pleasing to Harvard

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 12.-Robert /.
Fisher of Dorchester, right guard on
Harvard's football eleven for two sea-
sons, last evening was elected captain
OF the team for 1911.
He and L. d. Smith, the right end'
were the only candidates, Fishers cleo
ton coming by a good margin ana
later, being made unanimous.
Fishers choice as captain is a very
popular one. Ever since he joined the
varsity squad two years ago, he has
started every game, has never been hurt
and always played splendid football.
Two years ago he was placed on the
second "All-America" team by Walter
Camp, and this last season he was on
Camps first team.
Fisher began PLAYING football at Dor
chester High School and then went TO
Phillips AndoVer Academy, where he
nIayed three wears On entering Har-
ward, he made the freshman team. Fish
er was president of his class when a
sophomore, and is a member of the stu
dent council as we'll as director of the
Harvard Union.
He is a member Of the Delta Kappa
Epsilon fraternity, the Institute of llIO,
and of the Digamma and Signet SOCie-
ties. lie is twenty-three years old.
Fisher has been one of the most active
members of the teams on which he has
plaved and, although never SNOWY
PLAYER, his steadness has been of great
value on the Crimson's rush line.

Nick Altrock Signs.

Nicholas Altrock, some shooter, sweet
singer, greensward entertainer, and
quite a pitcher, was the first Mime
apolis man to sign and return his con-
tract for 1911, sent out in the closing
days of the old year. Nick sent his
papers to Mike CantilIon at New
Richmond, Wis, and letter announc-
ing that he felt prepared to uphold his
share of the labors of the day when the
sun shines gladly in the springtime. He
spring practice this year, as he did,
partially last year, and that II Rube
Waddell thinks he is going to wear the
crown alone in Minneapolis this year
that he has another think coming. OF
course, Nicholas adds the usual thing
about being in the pink of condition
and firm in a belief that he will play
the game Of his young life this season.

Klaus Finishes Strong,
But Berger Gets Draw

PITTSBURG, Jan. 12.-Offcials of the
Northern Club today began planning for
another bout between Frank Klaus and
Billy Berger, who last night put up the
best scrap that has been seen in Pitts
burg in a decade.
Throughout the six rounds, It was q
bang affair, Klaus forcing the fight
ing, but taking by far the most punish
ment Berger's clouts did not seem to
trouble him, however, and in the last
round, Klaus tore out of his corner like
a mad bull, and before the period was
over had his adversary doing a Mara
ness at the fag end of the bout caught
Berger by surprise, and it is doubtful
whether he could have lasted two more
rounds, but his early advantage gave
him a draw.
