IN THE FIELD
OF SPORTS

Hockey at Dartmouth college is in 3
state of confusion. LaRocqne, the Ca
madam who piloted the seven through
such a successful season last winter
has not yet been re-engaged, although
his selection seems probable. Last win
ter LaRocque was greatly handicapped
| by the nature of the winter, which de-
priyed the game of ice. Should sim.
| liar winter be hidden on the calendar
| Dartmouth's prospects viii not seem ST.
| bright. From last season there remain
| six men who were regulars. Last sea.
son the college played close games with
both Harvard and Princeton, acknowl.
edged the leaders in the hockey world
Both games were lost by close scores
Prospects are somewhat dampened be-
cause of Clarence Wanamaker's injuries
| during the football season. Wanamaker
has toe broken, which is expected to
leave him lame and incapable of playing
with the same effectiveness of last win
| ter.
Walter Eekersall, the former Chicago
Quarterback has said right along all the
season that Western football has had
| Just a shade on Eastern football. In the
| West Point Notre Dame game he says
there was where Charlie DAILY acquired
his goods to trim the Navy in the an.
nual game. In this game Notre Dame
worked Is successful passes out of II
chances. Daily certainly must have
profited by what he saw in this game.
Fifteen men were awarded their foot
ball letters at Dartmouth college this
week There was not Vermont lad in
the list
Michigan still retains its confidence in
Fielding Yost as a football coach Yost
has been with the college for 10 years
and in that time they have played l05
matches, winning all but ten of the
games.
The birmingham Polo club of England
have forwarded challenge to the Amer
lean Polo club for a series OF games in
1914
The football public will with regret
learn that w. s. Langford. the well
known football referee, has decided to
give up the game His reasons stated
were the increased duties he has as
snmed in New York railroad offices. He
has been one of the most efficient and
highly respected officials the game has
ever known and proof OF il is explained
when one remembers he has refereed all
the big games in the East of recent
years.
Information leaked out this week that
Charlie Briekley, the star Harvard foot
ball player, played through the entire
game against Yale solely on his nerve.
In the second play of the game Brick
90. kall w IN, he aAn
by the leg of an opposing Yale man.
For the time being he was laid out. He
then jumped to his feet and resumed
play. The remainder of the team was
unaware of his condition and he was
obliged to respond in the same manner
as he did in other contests. During the
first two sessions he was in state OF
Grit alone upheld him. He
did not care to reveal his condition for
fear he would be yanked from the game
by coaches. He was under the impress
sion that bones in his chest were broken,
for sharp pains darted through his up
per body and chest. During the inter
mission he was administered good rub,
which benefited his condition greatly. In
this half he showed up to advantage. |
It is thought that his failure to kick |
the first field goal was due to his weak |
condition.

team consisted of the following players;

Jesse B. Hawley, who was at one time
closely associated with the destinities
IF football at Dartmouth college, coached
he University of Iowa this season. In
recognition of his services he was pre-
,ented a watch and chain.
Lehigh university win not appear on

ION. II win be decided at the meeting
If the New England league directors

Clark Griffith may be up against il
or pinch hitters with his Washington
senator's. Laporte has been turned back
o the minors and his corps of emergen-
V hitters is weak. Williams is now the
MY man TO be called on and he NAV
ret be lost by trade. Schaefer is
andy man to have around and Walter
ohnson can deliver in a pinch. Should
'arl Cashion fail to deliver as a pitcher
nd fail in the outfield he will be kept
n reserve for this work Many are of
he opinion that Cashion will fail as a
iteher and make good in the outer
osts. last season he demonstrated his
bility to cover ground in the outfield
nd there is no question of his ability
o bat.
