tain of the Team at
Meeting of the
III" Men.

Cambridge, Mass. Dec. Edward
William Mahan. of Natick, Mass, half
back on the Harvard football team for
two wears, was elected captain of the
eleven for next year at meeting Of
the III" men OF the squad here to- day.
Mahan, who is in the junior class,
prepared for college at Phillips

member of the football, baseball and
track teams.
He captained the Andover nine, and
in his first year at Harvard was cap
tain of the freshman eleven. lie IS
twenty-five years old and weighs l6s
pounds.
Mahan ranks with the greatest half
backs Of the game and is a remarkable
all-around player. He shines in open
field running. and is a fine punter and
clever drop-kicker He was power
for H-rvard this year in both the Yale
and Princeton games, and did much to
make up for the loss of Brickley by
kicking two field goals against the
Tigers and one against Yale.
Mahan faces difficult task next
year, as the Crimson eleven will be cut
to pieces by graduation in June, but he
is the type of man who is likely to
igh. the harder against odds, and his
c dice as a leader is sure to be APP
proved.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-THE formation
OF a new college rowing organization

This body, it was reported, was

their approval and for ratification at
the next meeting of the association, TO
be held in New Haven.
The reduction of the length OF the
championship races from four miles to
three, or even one and one-halt miles,
was advocated by several of the man.
ayers. and it is proposed to encourage
the smaller colleges and preparatory
schools to take up rowing as a major
sport.
Fred Davis, manager of the Penn
sylvania crews, who has been chosen
chairman of the new association, has
announced that the Yale varsity and
junior crews will race the University

DIR. BUTLER FOOLS
FOOTBALL MEN
Addresses Students Mass
Meeting, but Fails to
Mention Sport.

Contrary to the expectations of many
football enthusiasts, the faculty Of Co.
lumbia University did not announce
yesterday that the sport was to be re-
stored at Morningside Heights begin
ming next fall. The entire undergradu-
ate body, numbering 500, turned out
for a mass meeting in the university
gymnasium at noon, fully prepared to
hear President Nicholas Murray Butler
announce that football was once again
persona grata on Morningside Heights.
DR.. Butler spoke for about five min
utes, but he was careful to avoid the
subject of football. Only by stretch
ing his statement could the football ad-
vocates get more than a faint glimmer
of hone. "What every undergraduate
wants, what every alumnus wants, what
Columbia wants, is united effort and
spirit" he said. you are meeting to-
day TO kindle a spark Of enthusiasm.
See to it that you fan it into full
flame" Then DR.. Butler left the as
semblage TO catch a train out Of town.
Each student entering the gymnasium
received a card in the following form:
eff | am in college in 1915-16 ] will
be a candidate for the varsity football
team. ! will subscribe 81 before Octo-
Der Is. 1915, toward the initial expense
of organizing and maintaining a vars
ity football team"
The student was supposed 10 sign his
name and also give mis- weight and
height. At the close of the meeting
500 of these cards were answered IN
the affirmative by the undergraduates.
OF this number ninety-fve weigh over
1875 pounds and 200 over $50 pounds.
More than 1000 agreed to pay the SUBJ
scription.
Walter ". Dryer. chairman Of the
student board, presided, and after DR.
Buffers hasty departure set forth IN
detail the football situation as it ex-
lists at present in the university.

football this fall was spontaneous and

NlJCKOLLS'S APPEAL
TO BOARD VAIN
Suspension of the Well
Known Driver of Trot-
ting Horses Approved.
By BRIGGS.

The suspension of Vance Nuckolls,
of Cleveland, the we'll known driver OF
trotting horses, was approved by the
national board Of review of the Ma
tional Trotting Association, which met
in executive session at the Murray
Hill Hotel Yesterday afternoon. The
board ruled that the judges in the
stands, having expelled Nuckolls, did
not have the authority to reverse their
decision. Nuckolls will apply for re.
instatement at the spring meeting OF
the board.
The decision was reached only after
long, stormy debate and after much
evidence, pro and con, was heard. An
eight-page affidavit from Doc Tanner,
the we'll known trainer of c. X. q.
Billings's horses. who drove Uhlan to
his worlds record Of 1 80 and at whose
instance the Judges reversed their rul-
ing at the track, was read. One OF the
judges was on hand to testify, and
Nuckolls himself made most stirring
appeal, but 10 no purpose. h. }. Nc.
Cabe, of Middletown, Ohio, owner of
Andrel, the horse Nuckolls drove IL
legally. also testified.
Finally all were heard, and the
judges handed down the following de-
cison: "The defendant, Nuckolls, re-
fused while the race was on TO obey
the order of the judges, which the
judges were clearly authorized by the
rules to give. He defantly withdrew
his horse from the race, for which he
with his horse, was Immediately ex-
PEELED. It was impossible under the
rules TO pass the offence without i'm.
posing a penalty. The expulsion OF
Nuckolls and his horse Andrel then
, and there announced is confirmed. All
efforts made thereafter, whether from
the pressure of a mob or the advice OF
men who had no authority TO advise
or dictate to them, were null and void
Judges cannot change decisions once
they announce them from the stand
The attempt of outsiders to dictate
advise or influence them is in contra
vention of the rules and subversive oil
discipline and subject to the penalties
made and provided for.
"The winnings of Andrel must be
returned for redistribution, and the
owner of the horse, II. j. McCabe, is

was sustained. The judges will be

Hup Winter Tops a Hit

Business is exceptionally good for
this season" said ChaS. Z. RieSS, local
Hupmobile dealer, yesterday.
"For one thing, the extraordinary
value OF the new Hup is apparent at
glance. That makes sales.
another big factor is the detach-
able sedan top for the touring car and
the coupe top for the roadster.
Instead OF building permanent
closed cars this year, the Hupmobile
factory designed these detachable tops
giving the new Hup owner what
amounts to two cars at practically the
price OF one.
These tops are well-built, beauti-
fully finished inside, and perfectly
weather-tight.
They are going to keep more
Hups in commission all winter than
any other one thing possibly could.
Almost every buyer of new Hup
orders one OF these tops along with

the people want"
