HARVARD OPPOSED TO
 COACHING FROM BENCH

The agitation to eliminate the pro- fezsionaI baseball coach during the playing of inter-varsity games is at present the subject of correspondence and discussion among a number of eastern colleges. It is the contention that the mines should play their games without the field assistance and advice of the professional coach if it is to be 8 purely amateur con test
 The Harvard Alumni Bulletin ex- presses the following editorial opin- ion on the subject:
 The object of these athletic teach CTS is to prepare the men for their final tests, just as instructors in other departments prepare the men for the final examinations. Only in athletics however, does the teacher lend a hand in the final examination. The single sport in which he does not is rowing. Would it not be advisable to adopt in all the branches Of sport some meas ure which would leave the men to themselves in the final test? In this way leadership for the captain and responsibility for all the players would be more fully developed Also the results of the contests would depend more upon the intelligence of the com petitors and less upon the cIeverness of the coach"

YANKEES SECURE PLAYER CHANNEL Buy Outfielder From Denver And May Send Warhop
 There

Lester Channel. the young outf1eld- CT who was with the N. Y. Americans under the Stal1ings regime, is again a member of Frank FarreIFs troupe of trained ball players. Farrell purchas- ed Channel yesterday from the Den yer club of the Western League.
 When Channel was with the Yan- kees in 1910 he looked like anothe CT Cobb until he broke a leg sliding into third base. He only played about twenty games with the High1anders before he met with the injury. He again broke his leg in Denver, but the break is now entirely mended and Channel is said to be faster than ever Channel did some sensational club ping in the Western League last sea- son and cracked out extra-base hits with pleasing regularity. He thumped the sphere for an average of .337, his bing1e output including twenty-eig light two baggers, thirty-three three-bag- gers and twenty-seven home runs. Among other things, Channen fi1ehed forty-two bases.
 Jack Hendricks, manager of the Denver team. who is a candidate for the Red1and managerial vacancy, says Channel is the best ball player he ever saw. This boy is a wonder. He will rival Cobb and speaker said the enthusiastic Western chieftain.
 In addition to forking over a cash bonus for Channel, the Yankees agreed to turn over a pitcher to Den yer. The finger who will go West has not yet been decided upon, but it is said to be Warhop.

cha anapion of the wor1d is a, little start ling in view of his recent sensational defeat of George Chip. Of the eight classes recognized by the union. the middle weight is in my opinion the least easy to find a proper champion for.
 England and France are out of the running and the American cIainna nts are so many that it is not easy to pick even two boys likely to make the weight
 Sam Langford as light heavy weight champion Is a wise choice, if he can make the weight, and not to be dis puted. Amongst other matters the union discussed the question of weights for international title battles, but as night have been expected there were wide divergence of views, but in the adoption of the European scale, which is the same as that in use for British cham pionships. This idea of an in ternational boxing federation may bring forth good fru1t in time. but a give and take policy on the part of the repr esentatives will have to be observed if success is to be attained.
 The professional boxer of today is in the game for a livelihood and is not in the. least likely to look with favor upon any attempts to control him. E@ was at first proposed to limit the purse money TOT Wn1Cn pOAeIS Sl1CQIO I4eSl a proposal that if carried by the union would sound its death knel1. No good can come of the union unless it is will ling to consider the boxer as a pro- fessional worker ana as such entitled to as much as he can get for his la bore. The contri buting nations to the union are by no means in agreern ent on certain points, but all things must have beginning and the best laid sch enes can be put in proper shape by careful and judicial handling and a plentiful supply of patience.

TRINITY DECLINES
 TO TACKLE YALE
Hartford College Refuses Date Turned Down By Wes-
 leyan

Trinity has declined the invitation of the Yale management to substitute for Wesleyan in the opening game of Yaie's schedule for the season of 1914. No other reason, than Trinity S schedule had been completed, was given, although it is known that those who are the powers that be in Trinity athletics, decided ten years ago there was nothing to be gained by a game with Yale so early in the season, if at all.
 The Trinity team is usually com posed of eleven players and those alone. There is no great reserve list or even material enough to make a team of second string men. The fact that Yale can put in the field three or four teams composed of players of almost equal ability, with possible ex- captions, such that Trinity might have to face a new, fresh band of players every quarter, as has happened to Wesleyan nearly every year, puts an end to the game as far as Trinity is concerned.

McsLLlSTER IN DRAW
 WITH MIKE DONOVAN

Bob McAllister of California and Young Mike Donovan of New York iety fought a ten-rou11d draw at the Fairrnont A. C., New York, last night. At the finish there was little to choose between them. Both were in the mfd- dleWeight poundage, NcAllister weigh ing 159 pounds and Donovan 155-
 NEcAllister came with the reputatio of being a, great boxer. Whatever e1ev-. erness he may have had on the Pa- cifc coast he musg have lost in the desert on his trip. For five rounds McA1isTte displayed something ap- preaching c1everness. but after that he lost his form completely. His punche s were merely taps
 1IcAllister started off though he would gain a decisive victory. He used a. good straight left that kept landing on Mikes face and ja1ring hG head. But he was slow to use his right and failed to take advantage of lis open ines. Donovan kept fighting back. ry- ing to land his wal1ops. The hon nors varied for the first five rounds. Dono van then drove two hard blows to Me Allisters stomach which robbed the Californian of all his strength. There after McAIlister was weak and tired- Donovan was not equal to the occasion and his swings and his uppercuts famed the air repeatedly.

FOOTBALL YARN AS
 TOLD BY COACH YOST

Hurry Up'' Yost,coach of the iMcf1i- gan football team, with all his long experience as coach and player, has a great fund of anecdotes, but none of his yarns has anything on this one. Yost tells of a special game Michigan played with the old University of Buff faIo at the Pan-American Exhibition there in 1901. Hurry U brought his famous ''point-a-minute" machine, and the Wolverines proceeded to tally a touchdown on almost every play.
 t'tBuffa1o,'' said Yost, had but eigh- teen players in the squad and soon all were badly used up. In order to con tinue it was necessary to relay these men. It was against the rules of those days to return 8 player to the game once he had been taken out, but I agreed to waive this rule under the conditions.
 Late in the game I saw a. form huddled up under a, Michigan blanket on his side line, and fearing that one of my men had been hurt went over and lifted the blanket. Underneath was Buffalo uniformers player.
 'Get over on your own side of the feld,'' I said. This is Michigan terri tory.'
 Not for a thousand dollars" re- piled the player. eff go back they will put me in the game again and I've been in and out five times now. I know when I've got enough if you (1on't.''
