PROSECUTOR URGES
REVOLVER ORDINANCE

Prosecutor Shepherd has written q
letter to Aid. Littlefeld, chairman OF
the council committee on ordinances
recommending the passage OF an or
dinance compelling those selling weap-
ons to inform the police authorities
Immediately Of the name and address
OF the party making the purchase. The
prosecutor says that the passage OF
such an ordinance would prevent the
frequent revolver crimes such as have
occurred during the past few months.
The law passed by the last legis-
lature compelling dealers to- take the
name and address of every person
purchasing q concealed weapon Is no
good because It does not provide that
such information should be turned
over to the police Immediately" said
the prosecutor. 1T does not prevent

police in locating the criminal after
the crime has been committed. The
passage Of an ordinance along the

INACCURATE
new SYSTEM
Put Coach AL. Sharpe in Com.
plete Control of Their Foot
ball Team

ITHACA, N. Y, Sept. 23.-Cornell
is making preparations for the com
ing football season such as were
never made here before.
During the last few days the field
at Ithaca has been alive with vet
Grams and othe- promising candidates
for the football team. Coach AL
Sharpe was present the first day Of
practice when the largest number
in the history OF football at Cornell
reported for initial practice. Besides
Sharpe, there are three other we'll.
known football experts doing duty.
They are Dan Reed, Van Orman and
Guetter. Up to date. Head Coach
Sharpe has been devoting his entire
time to the development of the back
field candidates. while Van Orman
has been coaching the ends. Dan Reed
has been instructing the candidates
for guard and center and Guetter has
tried the tackles out
While everything will be done by
the Cornell coaches to put the Cor
nell team In shape for the Michigan
and Penn games, that is not the main
object at present Sharpe's idea IL
to build up lasting football system,
which r perfected along the lines
which he Is now moving will mean
high-grade elevens for the IthAcans
every year
System In football building 10 es-
sential, as every one who has fol.
lowed the game knows. 1t was the
development Of q system which en-.
abled Yost of Michigan to have uni
formerly good teams for many years
In succession. The erratic work Of
the teams Of the east can be attrib-
uted largely to lack Of system. par
ticularly in tive coaching depart
ment.
There are always enough good men
In the colleges OF the east to have
great elevens. yet many Of the men
have their talent 60 to waste, through
lack OF system. After many years,
the authorities at Penn realized this
and have put George Brooke In charge
OF the squad at Franklin field this
year. At Cornell the same thing has
been done. The result Is going to
be better football, looking at 1t from
all angles.
Coach Sharpe has not only been
impressed by the number OF the can
didates on the field each day since
work began at Cornell. but the excel.
lence Of the material IL the point
on which he has been congrstulating
The greatest loss this year on the
Cornell team will be felt at fullback,
where Eddie Hill made such a good
showing last season. The announce
ment that he would not return to col.
Iege was bitter blow, but there 10 no
doubt that Sharpe will be able to de-
velop man who will show Just a
much ability a. Hill.
Cornell has an exceedingly hard
schedule for this year. There are ten
games on the list. including the In
dams. Harvard. Michigan, Lafayette
apd Penn.
