CAPTAINS RULE IN FOOTBALL AT
 YALE TO BE ENDED

New Haven. Nov. 23=Ya1e lost no time in formulating plans for the fu- ,ture as the result of the big defeat by Harvard last | Satur day. Last night the Athletic Committee held a meeting and went over the situation thoroughly The coaching situation was discussed ands preliminary plans for a thorough reorganization were taken. up. Prof. Robert Cprvfn of the Sheffield Scientific School, chair man of the eonnafttees will be in di- rect charge of these.
 The election of the captain of next years team will proba bly, be delayed until the Athletic Committee plans are captain will be lessened. Amy per- nanents plans of the athletic commit tee are to be approved by the Yale corporation before being put into eff fleet The graduate members of. the athletic committee are Prof. Corwin of football; Fred Allen Of the crew i; J ohm R.

JUDGELANDTs SLOW IN
 GIVING DECISION ON
 BASEBALL TRUST SUIT

It has been almost forgotten that Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis has a decision of moment to baseball in his hands, writes J. B. Sheridan in the St. Louis GIobe-Democrat. Judge Landis has intimated that he will de- liver his decision on the baseball tT-us ts1Iit in December. It has been said that if Judge Iandis' decision declares Organized Baseball is a trust within the meaning of the Sherman antitrust law that all contracts made by players with Organized Baseball clubs will be voided.
 Good. lawyers say that the judges decision will not have any such eff feet that it. would be unjust to players who have contracts, whatever. it might be to Organized Ball; that to declare contracts. void would be giy- ing the aggrieved partiess the play CTS, the worst of. it.

it. gave an opportunity for some to attend the games, who didn't have more than ten cents"
 It is doubtful whether this reason ing is correct A person up against it to such an extent that he could afford to expend only ten cents for ball game would probably have a better use to make of his dime, and would probably not attend the games if they were free.
 A comparison of the attendance fig ures at Expo Park before and after the final reduction in prices fails to bear out MT. Gwinner's contention. There was not enough of an increase after the ten-cent rate went into ef- feet to show that there was any de mand for baseball at that figure in Pittsburgh
 The same is true of other places where the 4s eds operated. The cheap seats failed to attract the people Those who had been attending the games before spent just as much for their seats as previously, and there was no great new. clientele created by the reduction in prices. It is an indisputable fact that base bali clubs, with an expense list such as goes with all big undertakings o1 this sort. can not hope to breag ever 1 on a ten-cent basis. The Federal League is no exception to the general rule that it's packers are in the busi- ness to make some money. ~ Phi1an- nhropy is all right in it's place, but | baseball is not it's place.
 It is difficult, therefore, to under stand just, what is to be gained by 2 l continuation of. the ten-cent policy I It means ruin in the end, for it car never pay expenses, much less divi- Idends

DIME BASEBALL WON'T BE CONTINUED IN 1916
 BY FEDERAL LEAGUE

We don't know what the Feds did in their recent meeting about contin- .uing their ten-cent baseball scheme. but it may be taken for granted, pro- viding the outlaws continue in busf- ness, that they will as gracefully as they can go back to the old standard of prices. writes Ralph s. Davis in the Pittsburgh Press. The plan was tried in the Mound City, as every where else on the Federal circuit, dur- ing the past season, and the St. Louis packers are tired of it.
 The president of the Pittsburgh Fed club declares that ten-cent ball will continue at Exposition Park here. He admits that it was not a great magnet to the fans. but says

YALE FOOLISH TO
 GIVE UP ONE MAN
 COACHING SYSTEM

New York, Nov. 23--Yale has ret tograded tremendously in football. but evidently the end is not yet near. Indications point to sthe Blues going back some more, for it5y4as whispered about Boston on Saturday night that Yale had practicallyg decided to re- turn next season to the anticipated system of having a board of coaches run thezs squad. It seems that those at the helm ins football matters at New Haven figure that while they are down at the bottom they can afford the time to experiment.
 It has been proven to the satis- faction of pretty nearly everybody who knows anything about football that this board of coaches idea be- longs to the antedeluvian era of the game. Nearly every college has real tzed the futi1ity of divided responsi- bility, and head coaches rule with czar-like authority at all varsities which have, had any success at all in the sport
 Pepsylvania thought it would re- turn. to the board system, and in stalled it for this season. The sue cess of this step backward can be rneastFed from the record of disaster complies by the Quaker eleven Princeton last winter came to the conclusion that this board idea was all wrong. and appointed Speedy Hush commander-ln-chief Despite The Tigers defeat in both their pig Earnes, Rush has put Princeton. on 2 the right track What he needs now is few assistants drilled in his ays- te1n,e
 AS has. been frequentlx pointed out here. the weak foundation of YaIe's football system is the supreme power delegated to the captain. That power. f11d of f1<ax the captain of one year appointed head coach for the next, is due to be wiped out soon. AIeck Wilson's ac- ton in busting Frank Hinckey at the most critical period. of the season and sending "a hurry call to Ten Shevlin' Now@ that the excieementsis over they know it VzaszsalE wrong
 The power of the captain has been killed in Yale rowing. When Guy NickaHs was offered a contract to coach the Yale crews and found supreme power of the captain" c1uase, he refused to sign The clause was stricken out and the Yale crew captain is now no better than the seven other men in theb oat.
 Certainly Hinkex,s team could not ha1az1est by eanY bigger score than did Shev1in's. We have a notion that if Hinkey had been permitted to work out his own salvation the tally would
 not have even approached A. The ousting of ztfe coach and the Attend ant hysteria set the team back inc stead of improving it.

Nov. 23-The intepstty of the feeling. between Jim Wrays the. former Harvard head rowing coach. and Harvard athletic oficta1s. may be gauged from the fact that Wray was unable to secure a pass to the Yale Harvard football game Saturday, from the Harvard association and came to Yale to get one.

New York. Nov. 23=So dear to the heart of some Columbia enthusiast is the victory over New York University on South Field last Saturday that he has stolen the cross-bar over which Quarterback Howard Miller drop kicked the winning forty-seven field goal The loss was not discovered until the varsity reported on the grid iron for practice yesterday. The en- tire Columbia team is accusing How ard Miller of the theft.

 The report of Haughton's contem- plated retirement is made to appear all the stronger by the Harvard Grim son, which editorialIy praises Haugh- ton, but Iex presses the fear that he will not renew his contract to coach the Harvard team.

democratic in his ideas and the boy of humble origin received the same chance from him as the millionaire s son. This fact could be noticed on the eleven which, defeated Yale last Saturday when Harte, a member of a socially prominent family, played end and Dick King, a married man working his way through college, was at halfback.
 Joe Gilman, whose work at tackle for Harvard this season, stamped him as AI1-American material is eligible for the Crimson team another year. He entered with the class of .1916 but had to drop back a year because of poor work in studies. Gilman lives in Honolulu. He prepared at Exeter. candidates who has played two years on the varsity, Gilman is the leading choice for 1916 captain.
 Whats the fare to Denver? Chan cellor BuchtaI of Denver University was so enthusiastic over the footballs s teams victory over a rival college that he approached the captain and coach and gave each a kiss. Tom Shevhn please write

 It is pointed out that when the Standard Oil was declared a trust within the meaning of the statute and ordered to separate into it's com ponent parts, that contracts made by the holding company, Standard Oil, were not voided, but were held to bind the subsidiaries as we'll as the main company. The same condition will probably hold good in the baseball case if Organized Baseball is declared to be a trust.
 So for the coming season at least, it is not likely that Organized Ball will lose any of it's stars. While Judge Landis may declare the National Agreement, in cortain respects. re- strictive of the players freedom to contract where he may choose. it is not likely that any decision the emil nent jurist may give will greatly af- feet present conditions.

LONDON TUBES"

The first train was run on the un- derground railway of London, the first of it's kind in the world, fifty-three years ago today. This early tube
 was a crude affair compared with the elaborate system 9f underground rail- ways now possessed by London and New York. The tubes, played but minor role in Londonts transporta- ton system prior to 1900, when the present era of development commen- 4ced- An American, Charles T. Yerkes
 was largely instrumental in the con struction of the system of electric underground railways. Tn the face of general incredulity he managed to begin work on the BakerIoo- and the Piccadi1ly, Brompton and Hamp- stead tubes, and the electrification of the Metropolitan and District Under ground systems. He died before the great undertaking was well under way, but Sir Edgar .Speyer carried the project to completion. and later ef- fected the amalgamat of all the tubes into one great system. Be- cause of his German birth, Sir Edgar wassforced out of the chairmanskfp s9y Lord George Hamilton. During the { ast year for which report is at hand
