PENN TEAM AND HARVARD
 MAY MINCLE

New. York, Dec. 2It is reported that Harvard has offered al date next sea son to Pennsylvania. Those responsi- ble :. for the runor assert that the Crimson has decided to push Brown off the schedule and was willing to give.the Quakers the date, November 13. The last Harvard -PennSy1vania game was played in 1905, and the Quakers won by 12 to G.
 That was the end of Pennsy at Cam bridge, coming as it did on the heels of the Penn victory by Ii too the year before. Success against Harvard seems to be a dangerous thing for teams like Pennsylvania. and Dart mouth.
 Princeton has decided to add at least one new team to its schedule. It may. renew relations with Washington and Jefferson. with which it last play ed in 1907, when the. Tigers won by 40 to 0. It has also been approached by the University of Pittsburgh. A contest with Illinois or Chicago would Hven up the Princeton schedule con- sfderably. for the present set of games is somewhat devoid of interest Buck nell will very likely be displaced
 Tho Washington and Jefferson-R -R;ut- gers game, which provided so fine an exhibition at the Polo Grounds last Saturday, will be made a New York fixture but the date will be advanced It will be played next season early in November.

HOLY NAME BOYS
 WILL ORGANIZE
 FOR BASKETBALL

A basketball league composed of members of the Holy Name societies Of the various parishes in this city is now in formation. The St. Charles Holy Name society last night ap- pointed John F. Moran as chairman of the athletic committee of the Holy Name societies in the different par ishes
 St Charles hall will be fitted up with regulation baskets, etc., and will make very presentable appearance. St Mary's Holy Name society is. the next in lineland win most likely be under the leadership of JohnJ. Hope. who has already completed a most successful season as leader. Of the St. Mary Holy Name baseb all team, fin ishing a very close second in the Park City baseball league. St Nfary,s sIsy- ceum will be one Of the stamping grounds of the league. St. Augustine and Sacred Heart parishes will most likely complete the league circuit.
 The nights selected to play the games will probably be Monday. and Thursday of each week and St. Mary's and St. Charles halls will be the bat tie grounds. The league will there fore in no way interfere with the games played at Colonial hall on Tuesday evenings. The representa- tives of the various Holy Name soci- cites in the city are requested to com municate at once with John F. Mo ran. No. s8 Orchard street, and let it be known if they desire to join the league. The schedule will be drawn up and the league in action by the first of the year.
 The St. Charles five already have four prospective candidates in the parsonage of Jack Moran, Frank Don egan, Bob Christy and George Hooper. The aforementioned men were mem bers of the St. Joseph's basketball team in 1910, when the Saints copped the city championship and they are s.aH members of the club

MILLION PAID FOR FOOTBALL BUT PUBLIC
 CAN'T TELL PLAYERS

E New Haven, Dec. 2--It is an inter sestfng comme entary on sport in gen era1 that a sum approximating $1,- 000,000 was spent to see the Yale, Harvard and Princeton football teams play Eleir games in the season just ended.
 This same s1,0oo, ,ooo paid into the treasuries of the various athletic as- sociatfons constitutes the bulk of the capital used for conducting sports at Yale, Harvard and Princeton. Foot ball is the big asset. The public con tributes more generously to it's sup port than to any other athletic pur- suit, and yet the majority Of the uni versailles have paid less heed to the wishes of football crowds than. to the wants of spectators at other games.
 or the three leading eastern uni versailles promfnent on the gridiron Princeton alone has acknowledged that persons who provide these funds through the money they pay for ad- mission are entitled to consideration. Princeton this year ordered that foot ball players be numbere so that the man who went to see the game be- cause he liked football could get a run for his money.
 An insistent demand made from all most innurnerab1e quarters for Yale and Harvard to do likewise has been Ignored. Persons who have paid to see these two teams in action have been as much as told to do their own guessing with regard to the men mak- ing the various plays. The same atti- tude has also been taken in connec- ton with the Army Navy game.
 Any man who doesn't like what is offered, of course. has the privilege of staying away from the games. But that is not the spirit that should be shown. The public enjoys football, and is getting to like it more each year as the plays are revised to per init of a more open game And the universities profit handsomely from football. The public has done its share by contributing generously toward the support Of athletic associ- ations It is clearly up to the univer- sites to do their part

HARVARD HAS
 MOVIES OF
 YALE BATTLE

Moving pictures of the Harvard Yale football game of 1914 when the Crimson beat the Blue very properly 36 to 0, will be shown to picture fans and faithful sons of Harvard 25. 50 and even 100 years hence, that gen erations Of the future may never for get the drubbing administered by liar yard at the dedication of the new bowl at New Haven.
 A reel of film showing the best sfea- lures of the game-from g. Harvard standp olnt-as we'll as the crowd in the bowl, the cheering sections, the snake dance of victory by the Harvard students, and other sights, was taken at New Haven this year, the first time that camera men were ever allowed to make movies of the great classic.
 And now that the g1adsome affair is over Harvard men are not fdeSir- ous of forgetting it for scores Of years to come and arrangements are now under way at Cambridge for the pur- chase of a complete reel Of the film of the game that it may be preserved in the trophy room of the university or elsewhere andet displayed on a screen in years to come
 The 191 4 Yale game will not be the first one to be preserved for history in the Harvard film collection. for 'earIfef in the season the athletic man agenent at Cambridge came into pos sessi on of a reel of film that showed the early stages Of the Penn State game in the Stadium in which the Harvard team was outp1ayed for the most part.

[ ANNlN NOT
 TO SELL RED
 SOx, HE SAYS

Boston, Dec. 2.-Some time since there appeared in one of the New York dailies a story to the effect that the Boston Red Sox club, among oth- CTS mentioned, was to be disposed of by it's present owner. Joseph J. La,n- min. and that the latter, tired and dis zusted by his rather rude experience in baseba1l's most disastrous year, was t< devote his attention in future to fha hotel business
 Although in Boston but very few people gave any credence to such a even the employees of the club were wondering if there were really any foundation for the rumor.
 In answer to a query. MT. Lann1n himself dealt the story a satisfactory deathblcw. Tn denying this r11anor. MT I.anntn sAys:
 .s.Tnere is no possibility Of my dis posing of the Red Spx. Perhaps after we win two or three pennants for rsos3on which hope to do within the neu few years, may feel sd1fferent- lv. but there is nothing to this report You must remember tna1 a.Dou1 ev- esry club in both leagues has been sold during the past month if reports are frn1e- but I notice that none of these deals has yet gone through
 .T don't know just how soon will bs able to get over to Boston but | !. faallA hopes or SS9C4Alu8 LIS &--lA0 eSkOo@- inc middle of the Ronth- trust then that the way im which we will begin to hammer things into shape for the spring trip of the next American 1Aaxue pennanf winning outfit will answer the charges Of the busybodies who have intimated that am in any way tired of my connection with base hau. - sE am in the game to stay, and I will tsfac5x by the Red Soz just as long as tlse Red Sox grounds continue to give tfns people of Boston the kin6L of base haal they expect sand that they ceF- xainfy deserve.1
 Prom which 1t may safely be as- syzuned that Owner Lannfn Is just as much of a baseball enthusiast as he zzzas one year ago when he first broke 4a,xo the game. The innovations he in froduced and tl1e zeal he has shown for che welfare of organized ball have trade him one Of the most valuable as wen as one Of the most influential men connected with sport.

OF
 WASH. & J.
 IS PROTESTED

Pittsburgh, Dec. 2-'Tf FIezning plays with the Washington and Jef- ferson football team next season. Pittsburgh will not meet W. & J''
 This ultimatuTn has been issued by Graduate, Manager Karl g. Davis Of the University of Pittsburgh He charges that Fleming has already played four year of varsity football. and that if he were to go into the game against Pitt next year he would face Pitt for the fifth time. He play ed against Pittsburgh as a member of the Gettysburg eleven in 1908, and then moved on to Lafayette. From there he and Johnny SpfegeI swung, over to Washington and Jefferson
 Graduate Manager Murphy of V. & J. asserted that if Pitt thought Elem ing ought to be aidetracked he would put Red off rather than lose the all-important clash with Pitt, which is the feature of the ". & J. schedule.
 Pittsburgh has also notified Penn State that if it gets McLoughrey Of Westminster College to play with it next year, as has been reported, he will not be permitted to face Pitt. McIoughrey played one year with the Michigan Aggies and three at West minister. Pittsburgh, in line with it's acquisition of Glenn Warner to coach next year, seems to be bound to clean up things in western Pennsylvania
