first acted in a coaching capacity in
1912. when he was assistant to
the coaching committee This year
former Coach George j. Presley OF
aided Brown as advisory coach.
The prospects of turning out a win

brighter at Stanford than they are

intercollegiate game this year will not
be in a position to try out for the
team again next spring.

fore ineligible for competition.
L. Fried, former basket bali player
of the ''Yi' applied to the registration
committee of the Pacific association
for the right to play with the Olym-
pic club. stating that. as he and other
members had not paid dues at the .'Y''
for some time past, he did not think
they could be considered members of
that body.
Athletic Director Howard M. Strick-
Ter and w. M. Coffman, swimming In
structor, denied the accusations of the
basket ballers against the Y NJ c. A.
and had the membership files to show
that the men had paid their dues. up
to certain date and had then ap-
piled for an extension of time in
which to pay. which was granted
On being confronted with the evi-
dence produced by Strickler. the bas-
ket ballers admitted that they had
made a mistake. The registration
committee refused to grant the re-
quest, and the men will have to play
as unattached athletes until March 4,
which will be the expiration of year
since their last game as members of
the ''Y" team
Murray Benton, a former member Of
the X. M. c. A. swimming team, was

shown that he had entered in three
races and competed in two of them.
The committee stated that in their

good faith in participating in two of

ASKS FOR EXPENSE MONEY

Listen to this: A. l.. Jackson, the
colored Harvard hurdler, was asked
to compete in some games in New
York and actually had the nerve to
ask for $3S expense money. 1t was
paid and the New York registration
committee got on to the dope This
committee communicated with the
Boston registration committee and
now Mr.. Jackson is in bad. However.
with their usual method of smoothing
things over in the east, Mr.. Jackson
Will still be an amateur. If one of
our athletes were to do such a thing
the eastern registration committees
would hardly treat US with such easy
methods. The actual expenses for a
trip from Boston to New York are
not more than $40 at the limit Jack
son is to be asked to return all money
over $25 and he will be excused like
a good boy and told not to do it

rYAvE you ever stopped to
think, now that Heine Zim-
norman has been suspended
by the Baseball Players frater-
nifty for nonpayment of dues.
what the members of that organi-
zation will do to him next sum-
mer when Heine is on the base
lines and they are in the coach
er's box. Say, but there ought to
be lot of fun in that situation.
Heine didn't come through with
the dues for the organization. and
the Fultz body decided to put him
on the banned list. Heine retorted
that he didn't care a rap what the
players did, as he intended to go
out there just the same next
summer and sting that pill to all
sections of the field. Perhaps he
will, but, just the same, the play
ers who are paid up members of
the frat ought to have a lot of
fun with him before they get
through.

tions that the players can ask
Heine, any one of which ought
to get the goat of the man with
the opera singers temperamental
nature. 1t is said not to take a
great deal to get Heine to fly off
at a tangent, and now that the
'frats" have the material they
ought to make life miserable for

sure they will if they see they
