GEORGETOWN WILL RUN
IN RICHMOND MEET
Blue and Gray to Send Whole
Squad to Virginia Games
in February.

With the announcement that the Rich
mond College games have been postponed
until the middle Of February comes the
statement from track officials at George
town College that practically the whole
Blue and Gray squad will be entered in
the southern games. Manager Kingsley
plans to send his men to the Virginia
capital city games in order that they may
be matched against collegiate runners
before the time of Lie more important
meets rolls around, and thus give the
men early season experience, which will
without doubt materially aid the Blue
and Gray later In the season.
Track work at Georgetown has pro-
crossed further this season than 1t has
in years. 1t is doubtful II the track
was ever taken up SO extensively at the
Hilltop as 1t has this year. Manager
Kingsley has arranged to enter his squad
In more meets than Georgetown track
team has ever competed In before. This
year should go down in the local uni
versity's track history as one of the
most successful seasons that the Blue
and Gray has ever gone through.
The prep track squad also gives prom
Use Of having banner year on the track.
as there are men on the latter squad
that can do the quarter mile and dash
events in good time. Herbert Chflds,
captain Of the embryo collegtans. will run
on the relay and also in the dashes.
Childs is one of the best runners that
has ever turned out and will undoubted-
ly clean UP in several of the scholastic
events during the season. The preps
will make their first appearance at the
Johns Hopkins meet at Baltimore. where
they will enter relay. together with
several men in the aashes and quarter
mile.

past who should be considered capable
Of coaching the foot ball team. but SUCH
does not appear to be the case. In an
edict issued two or three days ago, the
committee agreed to depart from the
custom that has been in vogue for some
time, that Of having q graduate coach
the team, in order that successfui
eleven may be built up. The Ithacans
think toward getting winning foot ball
team in the last few years, but nothing
they have done seems to have accom-
plished the desired end, and now. they
are adopting an entirely new policy IN
giving the manager any latitude he de-
sires in securing a man to take charge
of the foot ball policy next fall. 1t
is expected that the departure from the
old custom will bring a new style OF play
and with it more success than has graced
the performances Of the eleven represent
ing the school in recent seasons.
Cornell has been supreme In track and
on the water for some time. Last year
it developed championship track team
certainty that the Maroon would give
up both the championships won for one
championship in foot ball, and almost for
one victory over Pennsylvania:
1t seems rather surprising that Cornell
knows of no man who is a. graduate of
foot ball policy next fall. but it is con-
dition that comes up once in a while al
every school There is no institution
that does not turn out some mighty good
foot ball players. but it is another thing
to turn out foot ball coaches. There have
been great players who have attempted
to coach. but they have been dismal fail
ures, not especially because they did not
know the game, but because they did
not have the ability to impart their
knowledge to the men.
The ability to teach is even more neces-
sary in foot ball coach than 1t Is in a
man who holds down a job in an Eng
lish or Latin chair. for the reason that
a coach must not only know his subject,
but he must be able to read the nature
of men correctly, and must forever
bring his ideas to conform to the elastic
ity or curtailment given his teachings by
the ever changing rules which govern
the game. What the coaches teach must
be the product Of their own brains and
not the stereotyped style Of the class
room made necessary In the majority OF
instances by strict adherence to text
books. Such men are not made and that
Is why good coaches are so scarce.
Notre Dame has asked Brown Univer-
sity for game Of foot ball to take place
next fall and has mentioned that It 10
willing for the contest to be played in
Providence.
Princeton has formed q cross-country
club and will make an endeavor through
it as q medium to foster hill and dale
running to a much greater extent than
formerly.

| of the players who batted against John-
| son In those games that the sign-tipping
| bureau was in operation in those games
and though every man who faced hlm
knew what was coming he was unable
to hit him.
Speaking of sign tipping brought out
| the fact that Griffith is under the impress
the clubs in the American League last
season. II have my suspicious about

and that is what / am going to have my
pitchers do.
knowing what pitcher is going to
pitch is an advantage, of course, but L
have known instances where a team was
tipped off on every ball and yet could
not hit.
when I had the Chicago team we
played in Boston one day, and Cy Young
was working against us. After years
of study l was able to always ten just
what Lou Criger was signing for. He
had a way of showing his hand down
when he gave tho signal for fast ball,
and holding it still for the curves. I told
my PLAYERS, and | gave them the tip
just before every ball was pitched. but
notwithstanding this advantage Young
shut us out without run and but one
hit ] was SO sure that / could get
Criger's signs legitimately that I offered
to give any of my players a hat If |
made a mistake during the game, and
none Of them collected it. but we could
not hit Young even though We knew
just what kind of a ball was coming.
Boston and Brooklyn are not the only
clubs that would willingly part with
81, 500 to prevent Arthur Devlin from get
ting out of the National League, in the
event of McGraw asking waivers on the
second oldest player in point of service
with the Giants, on the New York clubs
reserve list. Cincinnati is not SO enthu-
siastic over Eddie Grant that Hank
ODay would willingly permit chance
to grab Devlin to get away from him.
There are any number of reasons why
Cincinnati should not win pennant next
season. The pitching and catching STATS
are not the sort that win championships,
for two, and the in and out fields are shy
for two more. There are few more, but
it is not necessary to go much further.

Redtown felt pretty much elated. 1t hap

trade with the Phillies worked to Phila-
delphias advantage, just as did most of
the other ends.

When it comes to shooting goals from

around here are concerned That man

for goals from fouls last night and he

most decisive beating. After the opening
session the blond boxer was never able
to show in front in a single round, al
though in the third and the eighth he
held his opponent even.
Before the bout was minute old Keyes
unwound one Of his famous right swings
and 1t landed flush on Leach's jaw. The
tooth puller crumpled up and went down
in heap. 1t looked as though he was
surely done for, and the crowd went wild
over the apparently sudden termination
Of the contest. Cross wobbled to his feet
and tottered into clinch. keyes fought
wildly, trying to get home another.
He forced Cross around the ring to his
corner, and when he had him backed up
against the ropes he shot out a swift left
hook that caught the dentist on the chm
Cross fell forward on his face. and was
still for moment. His seconds were
frantically calling to him to get up, but he
could not respond until they doused him
with ice cold water. He scrambled to his
feet after 0 3-5 seconds and just managed
to last until the bell had rung.
Cross came out of his corner for the
second full of ginger and sprynesS, ana
instead of covering and staliing he car
ried the fight right to his opponent
Keyes was swinging like mad. but miss
ing. while Cross hit him from every an
gle with each fist Once keyes came IN
wide open, after tanning the air with
wild ones. and Cross. stepping in. brought
over q left hook to the jaw which sent
Keyes to a half sitting posture. This
feat was one that some OF the best light
weights In the country had never been
able to do. In the eighth Cross caught
Keyes coming in with q left uppercut
to the chin which made the latter's
knees bend, and IL he had been going
away he might have dropped again.
The dentist won his fight by keeping
Keyes so busy that he was. never able.
except in the first round. to get over that
dangerous ''haymaker." Cross was al

jab that kept popping away on his face.
His mouth, too was cut up considerably,
while Cross was hardly marked.

there was fire scare. which caused a
lot of uneasiness The house was SO
crowded that there was hardly standing

/ the spectators started for the exits.
When the doors were opened, however,
