CORNELL WON'T LET

Any Attempt to Get Him Away
From Ithaca Will Meet
Strong Opposition.
SUCCESS rs TOO SWEET

ITHACA. y. Y. Dec. Should Yale
ask Cornell 20 release Or. Al Sharpe
from his contract to coach Cornell
teams. which has four more years to run
the request would not be granted. tudg-
ing by the present state Of mind of the
men in charge of football at Ithaca A
careful sounding Of sentiment finds q
unanimous opinion IN this point. II
has taken Cornell fifteen years to work
out her football salvation and any at
tempt to disrupt the system would meet
with strong opposition. II 10 not be-
lieved here that the contingency will
arise.
The football team will elect a cap
tain next week a, a banquet to be given
IN it's honor by the athletic association,
All Of the &C. men will take part In the
election. The discussion OF candidates
so far has not developed any great IA
~vorites. although a number Of men are
mentioned for the honor. II Cornell
elects a man who will be a senior next
year. n that probably will be done. tho

Although Cornell suffers heavily In
the loss OF Barrett. Cool. Shelton. Collins

KEEPING ABREAST OF
THE SPORTING TREND
~ WILLIAM r. HANNA.

The achievements OF Alfred De Orc
At three cushion caroms last week again
called attention to this wonderful vet
eran of the cue. The records 60 as far
back as 1887 In tabulating the per-
formances Of the Cuban, though that
was long before he took up three
cushion. He was a pool expert at that
time. and here he is t~weuty-eight years
later as good as he ever was. He was
a fifteen ball pool star when ohm L.
sullivan was a ring champion, when
Maud &. was a champion trotter and
whom Ty Cobb and William Hoppe were
Just beginning their terrestrial careers.
However. the performance Of nifty
points at three cushions In thirty-fve
innings made by De Orc last week will
not be accepted as a record. The rea-
son Ii that II was part of a game, moi
q whole gaine. 1t was the middle 80
points of a contest Of 100 points. and
under those conditions cannot be con-
sidered a record. Hoppe once average
over 100 points for the middle 500 points
OF q match Of 1900. but this perform
ance was not listed as a record.
One Of the queerest freaks Of aver
ages developed In a long time Is 4 be
found In the strike outs and bases on
balls Of the National League batters,
printed this morning. Arthur Fletcher
OF the Giants drew only six walks the
whole season. yet took part in 149 games.
In that respect there Is n wide gap be-
tween him and the general run OF bat

PARRY GIVES STATISTICS
ON STRIDE OF COULDINC

OF the stride and the number of them
taken on that day we must first I'M
derstand what a stride means. The
popular conception Of n walkers stride
is that II Ia measured from the toe

average Of his stride on that day.
Again let us suppose that my guess
