"PRISONS ARE A DISGRACE"
san Francisco Minister, in Los An

Los Angeles. THE state prisons
are nothing short of human cesspools.
They are houses of torture and de-
stroyers of human souls. They are
deporable and disgraceful blots on
California;
So declares Rev. G.. n Lathrop,
rector of the Church of the Advent,
San Francisco, and Episcopalian chap
lain at san Quentin penitentiary who
is visiting in Los Angeles.
He said the present system in the
States prisons did more to injure than
to aid the convicts' chances to reform.
He deplored the lack of segregation of
petty offenders from calloused crimi-
mails, the honor class, or the re-
formers; the intermediate class, or
those who offered a possibility of re-
forming; and the lowest class, or
criminals who would not and could
not be reformed or helped.

CRITICISM
AGAINST COACHES
Since Harvard's Victory, the
Yale Grads Start a Move
Against Coach System.

New Haven, Conn.,. Nov. 2S.-Since
the rout of the Yale Football team by
Harvard much q been heard in New |
Haven as to the outcome of the talk |
regarding a change in the football
coaching system OF the Ellis, and it
Is generally believed that the present
system will be done away with and u |
permanent head coach. such as Har-
ward. Penn and other colleagues have,
will be engaged to handle the Yale
team during the next three years at
lleast.
That there is something radically
wrong with the present system, no
adverse criticism OF the way the
coaching has been conducted his sea-
son is heard on all sides.
Many of the more prominent of the
Yale football men are Of the opinion
that Yale should fall in line and adopt
a policy along the lines followed at
Cambridge, where Percy Haughton is
the n man of authority in every
thing pertaining to football.
New System Proposed.
1t such a change is made at Yale
the whole football system will have
TO be r~eorganized. , Up to the present
time the leader of each team has the
absolute power. to appoint whom he
lchooses as head coach of his team.
The captain is king. as a one time
Eli captain put it today. He explain
ed that no captain could appoint a
man as head coach for moro thar one
season. and that consequently the Yale
Athletic association or a special foot
ball committee, to be appointed, would
have to do 1t.
This one time captain said that he
believed that sooner or later Yale
would do as Harvard did regarding
football, and he also said that this
opinion was held generally among the
alumni. Just how soon 1t would be
done he did not know.
Another thing that has got on the
nerves Of the Yale undergraduates is
the six weeks Of secret practice in
dulged in this veal without anything,
they assert, to show for ii. They re-
sent the locking of the football gates
every day during hte practice season.
and considerable u~nfavorahle criti-
cism of that action has chen heard.
Grads Dissatisfied.
One prominent Yale athlete, though
not a football man. said today: IF the
team had anything to show for this
long period of secret practice, 1t
would be different. But here they
play Harvard like a lot of school boys
and don't have anything but what
could be expected of a second rate
prep school team. If that's the kind
OF work they have been doing in Sc
cret I don't blame them. though. for

(. To Brush Baseball Leader

Chicago. Nov. 27.-A tribute was
paid John r. Brush. the deceased
president of the New York National
league club. yesterday by B. B. john
son, president of the American league.
One Of the bitterest fights ever known
ia baseball had johnson and Brush as
it's only principals. but this did not

giving Brush the credit deserved for
his rapid rise in the baseball world.
The troubles between the two only
came to an end during the recent

The meeting of the officials to ar
range for the series between New
York and Boston was held In Mr..
Brush's apartments in New York. and
at the conclusion of the business the
New York club owner asked the man
who had steadfastly fought him for
moro than n dozen years to remain
after tho other officials had left the
