THREE UNIVERSITIES
TO CHANGE COACHES,
SYSTEMS CRITICISED
Pennsylvania, Princeton and
Yale Aroused by Failure
to Produce Winning
Teams.

The football coaches and coaching sys-
TENS OF three big universities are under
fire not only because they did not produce
winning teams. but because, in the judg-
ment of both graduates and undergrad
yates, they failed to turn out teams up
to the usual standard The institutions
referred to are Princeton, Yale and Penn
sylvania
At Princeton there has been a perfect
deluge of complaints over the committee
system of coaching. Every publication
has been filled for the last two weeks
with letters demanding a change. The
objection is not TO the personality of the
coaches, but to the fact that the coaching
authority was divided between a group of
graduates who couldn't always agree
among themselves What the students
are demanding is a return to the one
man system, such as Harvard, Yale, Cor
ness and Pennsylvania possess.
A large number of men have been sug-
gested for the position among them being
w. w. Roper, OF this city, a member OF
the class OF 1902 and the man who
turned out Princeton's championship team
ANV4t NAiA H@hNAe SAilOtlt Ol
the 1906 and 1907 teams. Roper is not avail
able, for the reason that he holds a Gov
ernment position which pays him more
than the coaching job would.
Some interesting facts have been
brought out by the letters. One Is the
charge that the poor showing of the team
was due TO the refusal of the coaches to
let Click, last years quarterback, run
the team. 1t is claimed that Click did
not get the position at the start because
he wouldn't take orders from the coaches
sent in during the game by substitutes.
II is also said that he was responsible
for Princeton's two touchdowns in the
last quarter of the Yale game because
during the final rally he declined to lis
ten 20 instructions carried in by other
substitutes

PITCHER JOHNSON HITCH
Reason Is Because Chicago Owner
Wants League to Paw $4,000.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Dec 2.-The hitch over
signing Walter Johnson to a Federal
League contract was said today to be a
demand by Charles Weeghman. owner OF
the Chicago Federal League team, that
the league contribute 5000 year toward
the pitchers salary. The other mag
mates baked at this.
II think Johnson would be worth about
$4,000 year to us. but no more than
that. Weeghman said. II think we could
use him at that figure. However. st.
Louis still has a string on him, and we
have to keep our hands OFF for a while.'
Weegbman refused to discuss the 5000
story. That came from man in Presi-

2. The enforcement of ssni-
tation and restrictive regulations
by the State Veterinarian.
8. Active supervision by the
Bureau of Animal Industry Of
the Department and the inocula-
ton of diseased herds and ex-
posed herds with the antihog-
cholera serum.
A county in each State was Sc.
lected as a unit and the method
of work in that county was, brief
ly, for the State College to secure
the cooperation of intelligent, ac-
tive farmers in each township in
the county, These men were
called volunteer assistants and
they were to keep in close COM
municatiop with theDepartment's
inspector stationed in that area,
keeping him informed Of condi-
tions and securing statistics con.
cerning the hog industry. In
this manner conditions were
pretty well learned in the terri
tory under inspection. When an
outbreak of hog cholera was re-
ported the Departments inspec-
tor went to that outbreak and
saved all the hogs he could by
treatment with serum. AS the
diseased is very easily transmitted,
he then protected all herds in the
Immediate vicinity by inocula-
ton. The idea was TO form q
zone of immune animals around
the infected center.
Hog cholera is caused by a
germ that exists in the blood. II
is an organization apparently sc
small tina: the most powerful mic
roscopes do not show it. How
ever, it is easy to demonstrate it
presence by inoculGting a small
part of .he blood from a sick hos
into q we'll one, which produce
the hog cholera.
Hog cholera is disease which
seems to be stopped to a degree
by the frosts of winter, although
frost cannot be said to stop a case
after it has taken hold of its vic
tim. However it seems to pre-
vent the rapid spread of the d.
sease. The result is that in &
spring time the affection is as &
rule at the lowest ebb but in.
creases rapidly from that timt
until fall.
Hog cholera does not seem tc
effect any particular breed o.
hogs more than another, anC
while generally the careless far
mer is more apt to have The dis
ease among his hogs than tht
careful one, the disease some
times occurs where the conditions
are sanitary. 1t is hoped tina
the work may be extended grad
ually until the disease is complet
ely controlled or eliminated. Th,
fact that hog cholera is carried
not only by the hogs themselves
but by birds, dogs, streams an,
even on the feet of men goinI
from one farm to another show
how necessary il is that the cam
psign be thorough and that far
mers exert their best efforts +
assist in the work.
