EASTERN ELEVEN
Williams Coach Thinks
Hardwick the Best
Player on Team.
IL, reIeeraph 10 The Trlbune.

Willamstown, Mass, Dec. Sired
DAILY, ex-Yale captain and coach of the
Williams football team, has made the
following selections for an All-Eastern
football team:
La Plante, right end, Williams;
Trumbull, right tackle, Harvard; Pen
mock. right guard, Harvard; Cruik-
shank, centre, Washington and Jeffer-
son; Eels, left guard, Williams;
Brooks, left tackle, Colgate; Hard
wick. left end. Harvard; Barrett, quar-
terback, Cornell; Toolan, right half
back, Williams; Mahan, left halfback,
Harvard; lie Gore, fullback. Yale.
In selecting his team he judged the
relative merits of the men as follows:
"Hardwick is the best player on the
team. If | were in doubt about any
position on the team ! think | could
put Hardwick there and feel assured
that the place would be satisfactorily
filled. La Planta is a small edition of
Hardwick. with the difference that he
is a harder tackler than the latter.
Brooks, OF Colgate, think, deserves
place at tackle. lie is a giant and
has remarkable speed. Trumbull, of
Harvard, easily leads for the other
tackle.
"Pennock at guard possesses all the
qualifications for that position. and
there are many in the present stvle Of
play. Eells, the best punter of the
year, was not inferior TO any man IN
making forward passes. and this. to-
gethcr with his smashing line play,
gives him place in this mythical me
up. Cruikshank. of Washington and
jefferson, at centre, stopped about one
half the plays directed at his line.
Barrett, of Cornell, must get the
place of quarterback because of his
all round play and generalship. There
is no question of Mahan's title to a
place as halfback, for when he is kept
off the team those who make it. will
be superhumans. Toolan is not far
below this other star. He is faster
than Mahan and is able to punt and
pass in a manner not far below the
Harvard man. lie Gore at fullback,
while not of the plunging type, would
fill this berth we'll"

HARD ENOUGH TO
PICK OWN TEAMS
Stage Things No Coach Is DUAL.
flied to Select an All-Star
Football Eleven.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-No man is qualified
to select an all-star football team,
Alonzo A. Stags, athletic director at
the University of Chicago, asserted
!. to-day in an artic., in the univer-
sity daily paper. Stage declared it vas
difficult for a coach to choose the be It
men for his own team, let alone the
best players on other teams.
"All coaches who have had much ex-
perience knew that it is only by close
watching of their candidates through
days of practice that they can deter
mine who are best for different posi-
tons" Stage wrote. ITO concede that
it is possible for any outsider ,
able to do justice in the selection of an
all-star team, even after seeing all the
teams in action throughout the season,
is preposterous.
The nearest approach to justice that
could be doe would be to invite I. g
experts of -ach university to send in
their individl al selections and to make
composite of the players so named"

More than 1875 schoolboy runners will
compete in the annual high school
'cross-country championship run of the
Public Schools Athletic League over a
two and half mile course in Jamaica,
Long Island, tomorrow afternoon.
Thirteen schools from the five bor-
oughs will be represented. The course
mapped out for the runners is a stif
one, with several steep hills and n
mile of rough ground.
The struggle for the team honors IS
sure 20 be a close one, with De Witt
Clinton, Morris, Commerce and Rich
mond Hill being the strongest con-
tenders.
There are so many good runners en-
tered that Frank Jenkins. of Far Rock
away, the present champion, is sure to
be pressed to the limit to retain his
honors. Alvin Robertson, of Evander
Childs, winner of the Columbia Uni
versity open run; |. Messer, of Flush

Long List of Prominent
Names in Catalogue
Which Has Just
Been Completed.

With few exceptions, all of the prom
inent horse show exhibitors in the
United States are represented at the
Charity Horse Show, which will open on
Monday at Madison Square Garden. In
addition to the usual list of exhibitors
each year, there are TO be found in the
catalogue scores of new ones
After two weeks of night-and-day toll
by staff of clerks the catalogue has
been completed, and the list of box
holders and exhibitors reveals a large
number of the best known horsemen
and society leaders. When the an
nouncement of the postponement of the
national show was made il was thought
that most of the larger stables would
Immediately turn their strings out into
the fields, and in few instances this
was the case. But the action of the
American Horse Show Association in
taking up the reins for 1914 exhibit

Among the exhibitors who will posi-
lively show their horses are Felix NJ.

COLUMBIA PAPER
FAVORS FOOTBALL
Spectator" Fans Flame of
Enthusiasm for the
Revival of Sport.

The fame of football enthusiasm at
Columbia was famed brighter yester-
day when "The Spectator" the college
daily, in an editorial said that the
proof that the university wanted foot
ball was absolutely overwhelming and
placed the next move up to the faculty.
None of the university authorities
will admit that the attitude officially
is unchanged from 1905, but it is said
there is good reason to believe that
the petition which the students are
preparing will not be turned down un-
til after a most searching probe into
the entire question.
"The Spectators" editorial in part is
as follows:
Fifteen hundred men attended the
student mass meeting yesterday. II
was a great meeting-it was bigger
and better than even the Undergrad
uate Smoker last year, the greatest
thing that ever happened on Morning
side Heights" The beauty of the
meeting was the fact that it was es-
sentially a meeting. Ii was not a
smoker nor an entertainment-it was
a student assembly.
Everything taken up was of interest
to the undergraduate body. The foot
ball question, the most important topic
touched upon, has, as far as the stu
dent body is concerned, been settled
beyond the shadow of doubt. Ninety
men turned out for class teams last
month and nearly two thousand per-
sons watched the game. but still IT was
not the pessimistic alone who feared
that this was but another sporadic out
burst which would quickly die out.
But yesterdays meeting shows that
there is more interest in football on
the campus now than can so soon be
squelched. Over one thousand men de-
clared themselves willing to back a
football team financially. Is not that
proof that the student body is inter
ested in Columbia football that it
wants football? More than that-over
three hundred men signified their de-
sire to become candidates for varsity
team. If that isn't interest then we
want TO know what is.
The students have put themselves
on record as wanting varsity football
have given proof that is certain that
they have not lost interest. IL has now
gone beyond the hands of the under
graduates. They have said their say"

N. Y. u. GYMNASTS BUSY
Hold First Practice of Season
at University Heights.

Frank Gilloon, captain of the New
York University gymnastic team, called
the candidates out for the first practice
of the season last night. Bissinger,
former national all-around champion of
America, who has coached the Violet
gymnasts for several years, will again
serve in that capacity.
The team will not have the services
of Ray butcher, the star club swinger,
nor of Cramer, the intercollegiate all
around champion. The loss of these
men has left big gap. 1t is expected,
however, that Bissinger and Gilloon
will be able to develop a strong team
from the men who reported for prac-
tise last night. They were: Gillooh,
Saul, Levin, Kopchovsky, Frerichs,
Nichols. Kennard, Russell, Refs. Men
dosa, Martin. Yanosik, Knox, Miller,
Woolworth, Simmons and Peardon.
At meeting Of the athletic associa-
ton yesterday Theodore Schultz was
elected manager and Robert Baldwin
assistant manager of next years foot

GRIFFITH WILL
FIGHT DEAL
Manager of Senators Says He
Has an Option on John
sons Services.

Washington, Dec. Walter Johnson
will not 90 to the Federal League with
out fight in the courts with the Wash
ington American League team, of which
he has been the hope and mainstay for
seven years. Clark Griffith, the man
ager of the Senators, upon learning to-
night of the famous pitchers deal with
the Chicago Federals, declared he had
an option on Johnson's services for an
other year and "would sue him to the
end Of the earth" before he would al
low it to be broken.
"There was provision in the 1914
contract" said Griffith, whereby ! OBJ
tanned an option on Johnson's services
for the 1915 season. Twenty-Five hun
dred dollars of the S12, 900 salary which
he has received was given for the
specific purpose of reserving an option
in 1915 upon Johnson. ! am convinced
that he has violated the agreement, and
I will sue him to the end of the earth
before acknowledge his right to sign
with the Federals."
Speculation as TO what effect John
sons action would have upon other
nIavers of the Washington team was
rife here tonight. II has been rumored
that CLYDE Milan, centre helder, and
Johnson's closest friend, might go to
the Federal camp.
Haeerman, the pitcher who left the
Mans for the Feds, explains that he
Jumped because he wanted to work
more often.

Biggest Deals in History
of Game Expected at
League Meeting.
CLARKE WILL BE
A STORM CENTRE
Leader of Pirates Anxious to
Repair His LoSses-Herzog
Needs Whole Team.
By HAYWOOD BROUN.

"Do your Christmas swapping early"
is the motto of the managers in the
National League. The magnates will
be quite eclipsed by the managers
when the league convenes here next
Tuesday, for il is probable that some
of the biggest deals in the history of
baseball will be arranged.
All the traders at the mart want frs.
chance with Fred Clarke, of the
Pirates. Clarke lost a pennant CON
tending team by trade, and now he
is seeking to make up his loss by an
other gamble in players.
Roger Bresnahan, new manager ~
the Cubs, will come loudly crying
pitchers for sale" Fifteen of the
players on the roster of the Cubs are
pitchers, and Bresnahan can afford 20
let two, three or four go if only he
can secure a good infelder in return.
The leader of the Cubs would like
TO have Eddie Grant, and il may be
that some deal will be made for the
hard hitting Giant. In such a case,
however, Roger will have to show
something except pitchers, for Of those
McGraw has already an entire army
corps. McGraw covets Heinie thinner
man, and here there is a possibility Of
a deal. 1t is said that when Bresna-
han and Zimmerman battled on the
field in Brooklyn last year the German
won the bout by large margin, so it
is no more than natural that the Chi
cago manager should want another
sparring partner.
Charlie Herzog, leader of the Reds.
is sure to be on for the meeting, as
he needs for his team pitchers, catch
ers, outtielders, infielders and utility
men. Schuyler Britton, owner Of the
CARDINALS, recently predicted lively
traMng at the big confab. and il is
ager Of the team, will be empowered to
bid high for a shortstop and an out
fielder. Il is understood that an offer
will be made for Bob Bescher or Fred
Snodgrass, of the Giants. Pat Moran,
of the Phillies, needs pitchers, but has
nothing much to offer in the way Of
players.
George StalliLgs has said that IL
any opportunity offers to strengthen
the Braves he will grasp it. which
should be sufficient TO encourage the
other leaders of the league.
All in all there is reason to believe
that the meeting will set record in
the selling and buying of human chat
tells worthy of the days of Uncle Tom.
The National Commission gets the
jump on the league and will meet on
Monday. 1t is understood that at this
meeting an effort will be made to set
a new and lower limit on the number
of players which each club may carry.
1t is certain that any such move will
be fought by the Giants. McGraw has
more than fifty men in his squad, and
he hopes to carry the greater number
for several weeks before making a Sc
lection. The New York club regards its
players as assets.
Mike Donlin, late Of the Giants, is
considering several offers to manage

Columbia to Open
Basketball Season

Columbia opens its basketball sea-

in several years that Rutgers has
played basketball. and Columbia, with
an all-star combination on the floor,
expects to have little difficulty in get
ting off to an suspicious start
The Columbia team probably will
lire up with Benson and Wegener at
guard. Walker at centre and Lee and
Calder at forward This is the way
the team has practised for the last
few days, but at the last minute Harry
Fisher, the coach, may restore the
old order by putting Lee back at
guard with Benson and shifting Wege-
Ter 10 the forward line.
