HINkEY HOPEFUL
 OF YALE CHANGES
Football Coach Favors Open Game and Declares Eli Will Score Touch
 downs Tn 1914.

After the HarvaEd-Ya1e game this fall, Frank Hinkey, the newly ap- pointed coach of. the Yale football eleven, gave a short statement on the subject of the inability of the big teams to score touchdowns during the past. season. In view of Hinkey's ap- pointnent as head coach this inter view is now timely. because it is the only time that Hinkey has gone on record in print and it clearly outlines his ideas of the game and shows that he is not insensib1e to the good points of the so-caIIed modern game.
 His statement was as folloNsc Yale has had no trouble in advancing the ball within striking distance this sea son but once there, has lacked the scoring ability. Some people have thrown the blame. on the rules, sug- gesting that more downs ought to be allowed within the 20=yard~zone. l do not think that a change in the rules is the proper. remedy for this. A we'll planned play that is not ex- ,pected by the defense is superior to mere force for making a gain for a touchdown.
 ''Yale's forward pass in the Prince ton game, which all but worked af- ter line plunges had proved of no avail, was proof of this. do not think that enough has bee11 made of
 
 it was first introduced. Yale took it up to good advantage, and until re- cent years it has been a strong asset of every team here. look to see it developed more next year.
 ftNotres Dame is not the only team that can make a success of it; it has even greater possibilities right here at Yale. The other play that I advo- cate for next year is the end. run from a, kick formation. This has haP1 the best grOund-gafner all season. A good Interference insures it's success at any time. Harvard worked if to perfection this year, but not enough to score a touchdown; building her of fense around a remarkable drop kick CT instead. But a system that will bring touchdowns, although harder. Ai develop, is more than twice the value of one that merely brings field goals
 In such a system the forward pass and the end run play the most irnpor- tart part. They can be used to score on as well as to gain ground. With these plays perfected I see no reason why Yale should not make at least one touchdown in every game next season. Yale's greatest problem will be the rush line, especially the center The backfeId material is first class

SMITH STARS IN
 RIBBONS VICTORY
Tall Center Cages fl Goals Stow and Morrison
 Good.
(By gner.1


 George Smith, the human stepladder from Stamford, enjoyed himself huge ly at Colonial hall last night. He played center for the Blue Ribbons and managed to cage II goals against the Norwalk five. smith reaches so high in the air that any time the ball is near the ene1ny's goal, he can mere Iy pat the leather gently and it swishes through the netting. In view of Smiths high jumping tactics it is no wonder the Blue Ribbons beat Norwa1k by 61 to 25-
 The Danbury five, which was sched- uled to appear, double crossed Man ager Leavy at the last. minute, so he was compelled to hustle around and get the Norwa1tz five. They had some good players, including Genarf and Cahillg the latter a former Ribbon player Although the visitors passed well, they were not equal to the locals in shooting.
 Bob Stow and Jim Morrison, the To- cal forwards, were going fine. Nor rfson dropped 'ern into the curtains from any old angle and Stow was good on short shots. Chief Snyder

TO-DAY IN PUGn1sT1O ANNALS.

189s-Terry McGovern stopped Ausz tin Rice in 14 rounds at Brooklyn Terrible Terry" was then just start ing as a boxer, and in Rice he took on one of the best men of his weight then in the ring. Terry's initial pro- fessionaI bout was with Harry Forbes. and he knocked him out in the 18th chapter A little later he won tha bantam championship of America and defeated all corners. It was while he was the bantam title holder that Ter ry offered to take on Pedlar Palmer the British featherweight champion. who had come over to America to fight George Dixon. It took about two minutes for McGovern to put away the great little Englishman. Then Terry took away the worlds featherweigIt title from Dixon in eight terrific rounds, and held 1t un- til he met his master in Young Cor belt.

MADE FOUR BADGERS
 ON HOLIDAY DATES
Hooper and Cravath Celebrated Properly on Memorial and Independence
 Days.

Gavvy Cravath Of the Phi1lies and Harry Hooper of the Red sox, fC would seem, are the most patriOcic athletes in the, major leagues. The two suburbanites were the only pas timers in the fast set last season who observed both Memorial and Indepen- dence days by sIamming out honera. On the basis of the returns, the Amer ican Leaguer would appear to be a greater observer of the Republics two big summer holidays than the Nation al Leaguer.
 Hooper produced two four-baeZers in the games with the Nationals on
 May 80 and one circuit cIout in the afternoon contest with the Athletics on July A. On Memorial Day the BOstontan showed his patriotic spirit at the earliest possible moment, for in the morning he opened on Bob Groom with a homer, and in the afternou he repeated the stunt at Walter John son's expense, this time allowing Ray Collins to triumph over the Idaho phenom. On Indepeudeuce Day Hooper again selected the first game in which to hit for the circuit. Eddie Plank of the White EIephants being the man who furnished the Bostonian with the ball just to hfs. 1i1-- ing.
 Cravath touched Art Fromnne of the Giants for a four-bagger at the Polo Grounds on May 30 and rapped for the full distance against Dick Rudolph of the Braves at Broad ana Huntingdon streets on July 4, "Gav- vy's'' Independence Day homer being made while he was acting as a sup stitute.
 A real Yankee Doodle boy is George MuI1in, former Tiger and recent ap= plicant for pardon from the National Commission. George was born on July 4, 1880. and on July 4, 1912, he pitched a nO-htt game against the Browns.
 Jack Warhop of the Yankees was born on Independence Day, while Rube OIdring of the Athletics was born on Decoration Day So vas Amos Rusie, who was the Walter Johnson of his time in all things ezc- cept habits.

DETROIT BACKSTOP'S
 ARM FIXED BY4REESE

Detroit, Mich. Dec. 31-Ray (Red) Mckee, who was one of the. four young scatchers who proved sensations in the American league last season. should be a better, sbackstop in 1914 than he wass last season.
 Mckee often complained Of pains and stiffness in his throwing arm. There were days when Mckee, all though doing. splendid receiving and showing nice judgment in working his pitcher, had little ability in throwing to bases and opposing runners took large liberties on the paths.
 At the close of the season Hughie Jennings told Mckee to see Bone setter Reese in Youngstown, O., and have the arm looked over- Mckee told Reese that he thought the trou- bIe was in the elbow Reese found. that member in perfect condition, but discovered the trouble was under the shoulder. A 1igament was out of place. Reese replaced the ligament and McKee's arm has felt as good as ever since the operation.
 Red is spending the winter in Springfield, O. His old friend Jack Reed the town oracle, secured 8 job for Mckee and the young catcher is earning pin money making electric fans.
 Mckee, with his dron bhumor, is keeping the Springfield fans in en- tertainment describing his visit to Reese. Under a new act of the Ohio legislature, it is possible for Reese to charge a steep price for treating ball players. Mckee told Reese he was a carpenter and received the injury saving wood. Reese charged him only BIO. Red, also says the man who preceded him into the "tBonesetter's' consultation room, lhobbled in on crutches and when he made his exit the patient walked briskly and carried

MONEY LOST IN
 ST. LOUIS BOUT

At St. Louis, a week ago, a big box ing show was called off because the attendance was too light St. Louis is a larger city than NGilwauSee. but ir is almost unheard of in the beer town the calling off of a show for any reason. There are only two clubs operating in St. Louis, which goes to prove that no matter how large the city the fans will not support more than about two clubs. When there were two clubs operating in lTiIwau- kee several years ago they made mon ey, but when the clubs became more numerous they lost coin. Under the new boxing law there is no limit to the number of clubs in Milwaukee and as a result there are about four now trying to exist. Consequently there have been about two or three shows all season where any money has been made. It will be repetition of New York conditions-tne hy-by-nie'hts will be put to flight and it will settle down to about two or possibly three big clubs.

Doc White. erstwhile twirler for the Chicago White Sox, who is putin 'ern over this winter in vaudeville, has a good story he tells anent tGermany'' Schaefer Of the. Nationals between the Four-a-day stunt he is engaged in. It seems that when the White Sox played last season in Washington on one occasion the s'Seneganbian. bleachers' were filled with the col ared man and brother to repIetion. Schaefer had hit safely and was talk ing a good lead off first base. White was pitching and decided to keep the Teuton close to the first sack He threw to Safer and almost caught Schaefer- Again the German took a good lead and again White threw to catch him
