LAWN TENNIS MEN
WILL MEET HERE
Important Matters To Be
Discussed at Gathering
Next Friday.

Affairs dealing with every depart
ment of lawn tennis will be considered
at the meeting of the executive com
mittee of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association which will be
held at the Waldorf-Astoria next Fri
day. In all the history of the Ameri-
can game no former session Of the COM
mittee approaches this in Importance.
First of all, the details of the Davis
Cup challenge for next year will be
discussed. +. +. Torrey, secretary of
the association, and K. ID. Wrenn, the
president. have been in communication
with I. II. Hicks, of the Australasian
association.
Already the ball question has as
sumed serious shape because the Eng
lish association at its recent meeting
considered a resolution which is likely
10 cause the ball for the Davis Cup
matches in the future TO be chosen by
lot and not by the defending nation.
George I. Adee is chairman of the bail
committee.
Walter l.. Pate, secretary of the
ranking committee, has written re-
port to be submitted with the ratings
which cover twelve legal pages, or
about 1000 words in length. Frederick
c. lnman, chairman, and W. NJ. Hall
have laboriously worked out over the
ranking which will probably be issued
at the end of the week and finally dis
pose Of the heated discussion which
has arisen as to whether or not Nc
Loughlin or Williams should be rated

ONE-MAN SYSTEM
SURE FOR TIGERS
New Coach Will Probably
Be Appointed Soon
After Christmas.

Princeton, n. j., Dec. ia one-man
coaching system for football at Prince
ton has at last been definitely assured,
in response to a month or more of in
sistent demand on the part Of alumni
and undergraduates. Popular senti-
ment, as voiced in communications al
most without limit to all the un-
dergraduate publications, especially
"The Daily Princetonian," which has
led the campaign, and to "The Alumni
Weekly" has forced the issue to a de-
cision by the board of athletic control,
which hints at an appointment to be
made soon after the Christmas holi-
DAYS.
In the absence of Dean McClenahan,
chairman of the board, who has been
sent to Europe to investigate war con-
ditions, Knox Taylor, '95, has been
placed at the head of the board He
announced the intentions of that body
at a dinner given by him last night.
With very slight opposition the men,
bers have all favored the one-man sys-
TEN, and have agreed TO place the mat
ter of nominations for the position in
the hands of temporary committee of
five men.
Frank Click, captain of next years
eleven, is a member of the committee,
and has been promised a most infuen
tial part in the selection of the man
who will do the coaching next fall.
The other members of the committee
are Knox Taylor, W. II. Edwards, W.
W. Roper, coach in 1911, and 7. W.
Cloney, jr. These men will hand in
their nominations during the Christ
mas holidays.
The graduate advisory committee
will not be abandoned in the new
scheme, but will be made subservient
TO the head coach, as the baseball and
track committees have been in the
past. This will give the coach the
benefit of cooperation with some of
the best of Princeton's football men,
but will leave him entirely free to
accept or reject all suggestions at his
own pleasure. Disagreement on the
part of the committee can no longer
mean mixed policy introduced as a
compromise, not wholly approved by
anybody.
The greatest confidence was ex-
pressed In the ability Of Frank Click,
the new captain, at the dinner last
night, and it was declared that an un-
usual amount of authority would be
granted to him in the launching Of the
new system, for which he has been a
tireless advocate ever since the faults
of the committee system became so ap-
parent. Click has defined the qualifi-
cations of his ideal coach as man who
is a gentleman and can deliver the
goods, and one qualification will not
be considered without the other if he
has anything to say about the appoint
ment.

CLINTON BOYS PROTEST
Say Checking at P. S. A. L.
Run Was Faulty.

A protest against the checking OF
the finish of the recent 'cross-country
championship run Of the Public
Schools Athletic League has been sent
20 the 'cross-eountry committee by Ed
ward Behrman, manager of the De
Witt Clinton team. Behrman con-
tends that several Of the Clinton run
ners were missed az the end, which
naturally changed the standing Of the
boys. Clinton was credited as scoring
l24 points, but, according TO the table
kept by Behrman, who was ten yards
from the finish, its total should read
40 points.
Behrman charges the officials with
absolutely missing George Ginsburg,
who finished, according 10 his score,
in thirty-fifth position, while Arthur
Segreto, captain Of the team, finished
in twenty eighth, but the committee
placed him back thirty-ffth. George
Locker and Harry Larson, two other
Clinton runners, finished up among the
leaders, but the alleged failure 20
check the boys correctly consequently
placed them in their wrong positions.

Last Wednesday, Mr.. and Mrs. d. l..
Chasa parents of Mrs. Leslie Harker
of this city, together with their son-in-
law, J f. Erickson, were the victims
of serious street car accident at Rock
ford, Ill. Mr.. Chase and wife had ar
rived the previous day from Dakota to

Evening Session of the High School.

The high school is often called the
Peoples College. 1t seems most I'M
fortunate that the people, who support
the high school, entrust their children
to it influences and teaching, and are,
at heart, most intensely interested in
its welfare, should be unable to visit
that school, when it is doing regular
work, without sacrificing their valuable
time and their professional or business
interests. This unfortunate situation
seems to exist so far, at least. as the
business and professional men of the
community are concerned.
To overcome this difficulty and to
provide an opportunity whereby those
who are regularly engaged in activities
that they cannot we'll leave during the
day, arrangements have been made Cor
holding an evening session of the high
school Recitations win be suspended
Thursday afternoon, Oct. %, to allow
students and teachers to prepare their
work for the following day. Beginning
at seven O'Clock in the evening, the
regular program of the afternoon will
be carried out. closing at 9:l5. All
parents and other interested patrons,
who haven't time to visit the school
during the regular sessions, are invited
to visit classes at these hours. This is
no entertainment. The regular work
of the classes will be carried out in the
regular way.
Ask the studcnts about the after
noon program. They can tell you what
classes will recite, when and where.

The latest fad In society is the tub
cure. In this the patient arises just as
the crisp air of the morning is mellowed
by the first sunbeam. An ordinary
was tub is then filled with hot water
and soap suds, into which various arti-
cles of linen are thrown. After they
are thoroughly saturated the patient
takes them up one at time and rubs
them briskly up and down on a wash
board placed in the tub. This is kept
up until the hands, arms and face are
glowing pink. The patient then goes
into the open air and hangs all the
linen articles on line stretched for
that purpose. The one completing the
task first announces the time to the
others over the telephone and is enti-
tied to prize. 1t is exciting sport
and also nvigorating exercise. Troy

general beauty as they grow. The
other admirer is he who INDUCES in

pets from their roosts, peddles them at
a nominal price, or converts them into
roasts, boils, stews, etc The latter
class of fanciers have been active of
late in various sections Of this city and
as result several focks have been re-
duced in number and the owners pro-
voked to high degree of anger.

VIII Rural Carrier, Bid for Their Jobs !?


The announcement that Postmaster
General Burleson favors a change in
the rural delivery system whereby car
riers will have to bid for she work and
obtain it by bicding lower than any
one else, is causing great apprehension
among rural carriers all over the coun-
try. This is the old star-route system
revived. Under it, the bidder would
no doubt be allowed to take as many
contracts as he could handle, and every
rcral carrier would become the employee
of the contractor, instead of Uncle
Sam. as he is now. In time, the CON
tractor would become big corporation
which would fix the compensation of
the men who do the work at 5000 to
$500 year, instead of 81, 600 to 81 200,
which the government now pays them
direct, and the contractor would get
rich on the work of the carriers, The
contractor would come to own the
horses, wagons, or automobiles and the
carrier would become mere driver.
