ughitt and Splawn Lose
Chance for All-American

Splawn is a newcomer. and his only
hope was the defeat OF Harvard by
some brilliant field goals. He did not
get chance to perform in the boot
ing role, for which he was taken to
Cambridge. and his "boner," when he
mussed up the signals at a time when
touchdown looked certain. gives him
post Of honor at Merkle's side In
the Ivory league. Il was intimated
earlier In the season that Splawn did
not have a brilliant grasp Of signals,
and In preliminary game he messed
up another play that might have
meant few counters for the wolver-
ines. t
Maulbetsch shines In marked con-
trast to his teammates. Everybody
knew that be was good. but that he
could bear the brunt OF wonderful
line plunging attack and almost de-
feat team like Harvard single-hand-
ed was not expected. Mauly IN an
other newcomer, and II is not likely
that he will meet with Camps highest
favor this year. but before his var
sity days are ended, Johnny can ex-
pect to see his work properly re-
warded He has a good chance yet
to shine with Julian and Eichenlaub
on the all-western paper team this
year by repeating his Cambridge per-
Torrance against Pennsy and Cornell.

Tennis Stars In
Gibralter Prison

News of the militant fate of the
many prominent athletic stars with
European home addresses Is slowly
sitting through the censors to this
country. John Reed, war correspon-
dent for the Metropolitan magazine,
tells what happened to Froitzhein
and Kreuzer, the German Davis ten
mis- cup contenders. According to
Reed, they were taken on an Italian
liner. bound from New York to Ma
pies, during the early days Of the war,
and were imprisoned by the English
at Gibraltar.
Reed tells q rather amusing story
OF the boarding of the Italian ship
and the capturing OF the German re
servists on board by the British
boarding party, none Of whom could
speak the Teutonic language. The
names OF the Germans were being
called from the passenger list. When
the tennis stars turn came, the an
nouncer called "Crooser!"
"He means Kreuzer," translated
some one. and the tennis player ap-
preached.
"Pack your gear" he was ordered.
Meanwhile the FIRST ofiicer seemed
to be arduously celebrating about
something. Then he broke into hearty
laughter and turned to the announcer.
"Oh, I say, another German "cruis-
err captured by the British navy
he guffawed. After q proper lapse Of
time Il soaked In and all the British
ers joined In the merriment.

succeed In q single pass. while Har-

II perhaps Ia just as well that the
game turned out as Il did. The In
ter-sectional supremacy question n
left open for another year. and there
Is now no doubt but that the Crimson
and Maize and Blue will meet again
In 1915. Then Yost should have Q

eleven.
Trainer Farrell, OF Michigan. should
come In for a good share Of praise
because OF the fact that Hughitt and
Splawn were able to stick the game
out. In fact. the whole Michigan
aggregation came through the battle
In a way that reflects credit on the
trainer.
or course, II Is genuinely regretted
In the west that Michigan lost. but
that a green team, handicapped by
serious injuries to two stars, should
lose to Harvard only by a couple of
errors OF Judgment. and then by q
single touchdown, Is really glorious
achievement.

1t was never anticipated by the most
active men engaged in the organization OF
the club that such unusual enthusiasm
would attend the opening. There was
conservatively speaking, twice as many
persons present as were anticipated. II
would appear that practically every one OF
the $50 resident members of the Newspa-
per club who, by their faith in the ac-
tive members made the club possible,
were present last night. They came with
mind bent on criticism but the beauty
and the unusual charm of the three floors
in the jefferson County Bank building
captivated even the most critical. 1t Is
not assuming too much to say that there
never has been in the history of Bir-
mingham such an overwhelming verdict
Of approval given any semi-civic institu-
ton In this community.
From o'clock yesterday afternoon un-
til the clock in the courthouse steeple
down below chimed the hour of midnight
there was a constant and uninterrupted
stream of persons visiting the club rooms
They were admitted by the cards only
and there was no faint praise of the
GORGEOUS three floors that are open today
10 the members of the Birmingham News
paper club.
II was estimated last night that easily
two-thirds of the multitude that came to
the Press club yesterday were ladies OF
birmingham. The fact that the Newspa-
per club has devoted two-thirds of its
total space-that Is to say, the ladies
floor and cafe-to ladies attracted them to
the opening in unusual numbers. 1t may
be said that in giving the women OF
birmingham a downtown club the officials
of this institution are receiving the un-
stinted praise and thanks OF the iadles
of this community.
The affair of yesterday was merely the
deliverance of the quarters TO the asso-
ciate members and their friends, and they
were unusually enthusiastic over what
has been created for them. There were
present from various cities in Alabama
many nonresident members of the club,
who came here for the opening. The nom
resident membership includes many
prominent citizens of all the other cities
In Alabama. These nonresidents who
could possibly attend were willing TO doff
their hats, figuratively speaking. to Bir-
mingham upon having such a delightful
place for the citizens of the city and also
of the state. They assured many of the
active members that upon returning home
they would certainly say to their friends
that Birmingham had produced a re-
treat which is unlike any in the United
States.
Those who attended the opening yester-
day were received in the reception rooms
by members of the board of governors,
members of the house committee, men,
bers of the entertainment committee and
by many men and women of Birming-
