FOOTBALL LEAGUE
IN NEW ENGLAND
COLLEGES NEXT F.?
CWorcestar Post...l,


That a football league composed OF
New. England minor colleges. as sug-
sested in a recent issue of The Post,
would be an advantage to Trinity and
other New England colleges, though
a difficult proposition to form at the
present time, is the concensus of
opinion of Trinity authorities 1t is
generally agreed that while such a
league would be a big aid in prevent
ing any such controversies as have.
occurred over the question of e1igibili--
ties,I lit would be hard to agree on any
set of rules which would meet the
approval of. all colleges suggested.
Col, w. F. A. Buckley. president
of the Trinity graduate advisory board
of athletics, expresses himself as be-
ing in favor of such plan, but was
doubtful whether such a, league could
be- formed this year. Now it's up to.
a few more of the college authorities
to- give the plan a. boost.

LIKELY
Is PLAY SPRING
CONTESTS IN CUBA

Boston, Dec 1.-THE Braves tour
of exhibition games will be decidedly
abbreviated next spring, according to
the present plans of President Calf
ney, who announced last night that
his club would spend practically the
entire training period at the club s
new training grounds at Miami, play
ing only few games on. the home
ward trip. Negotiations are under
way for series of. exhibition games
at Miami, with the Athletics, whom
the Braves defeated four straight in
the 1914 worlds series, and plans are
being made for an invasion of Cuba.
The trip from Miami involves only
eight or nine hours and there are
several strong teams in the Cuban
capital who desire the privilege of
entertaining the former worlds cham
pions. It is not likely that the
Braves will arrive in Boston until the
championship schedule brings them
there. ~
The Harvard, Yale and other vars
ity mines have requested games with
the Braves at Boston, but as the
Braves are due to open the season
away from home this year President
Gamney thinks it is not good business
to have the Braves come as far north
as Boston, until the championship
schedule brings them to this city.

brought forth a storm of protest from

YALE LEADING In
MEN PICKED FOR
THE AMERICAN

An analysis of Walter Camps All
American teams since 1889 gives Yale
the leading place. 80 Yale men hav-
ing been chosen up to date. Harvard
is second, with Sc, while Princeton
and Pennsylvania follow with 81 and
g 4, respectively.
1t is interesting to note that up to
1895, only Yale. Harvard, Princeton
and Pennsylvania were represented on
these teams, and that in three Of
these years Yale Harvard and Prince
ton furnished the entire lineup. In
1895 -one man from a. smaller college,
was chosen. Then the bis. four claimdt
all the places until 1899 when two out
siders were selected. Since that time
the big eastern universities have not
ruled supreme in the choice of the
teams, many as -four men being
chosen fronlk smaller teams in 1901,
1903, 1906. 1908. 1910. 1912, 1918 and
1914 This year there are only three
players from these universities on
the team, all being from Harvard. In
all, 10 not from the four universities
Walter Camp s teams at one time or
another.
Attention is at once drawn to the
fact that the largest number of men
which any college has had this dis
| tinction; once in 1900 and again IN
1907. Six Y ale men were selected In
1909, and five men attaining the hon
or in 1890, 1892, 1901 and 1914.
Princeton had five in 1889 and 1893.
In all so Yale men have been plac-
ed on the team. OF these men only
two have held this enviable position
for four years. Frank A. Hinkey
'95, was chosen as end in 1891, 1892.
1893 and 1894; F. G. Brown, 1901, fill-
ed a position as guard in 1897, 1893,
1899 and 1900.
Two Yale men qualified for three
years-W. W. Heffelhnger, 81 s., at
guard in 1889. 1890 and 1891, and T.
L. ShevIin, 1905. at end in 1909, 1904
and 1905 OF those who were select
ed two years IA are Yale men: Lee
McClung, '92. haIfback; W. o. Hickoks
'95 :S.,Fguard; F. S. Butterworth, % 8,
fulIback; F. T. Murphy, '97, end; b.

Is Evers Thinking
of Making Jump to
Federal League NqW?


The rumor keeps gaining that
Johnny Evers is about to flop to the
Federa1s. writes s. E. McCarty in the
F4ittsE<1rg Leader. This is helped
along, by the vitriolic attacks Evers
has been making on the National Lea
que of late. Evers is dissatisfied in
Boston. He wants to get away, pre-
ferabIy to Chicago or, New York
The Feds offer hitn the Gotham op-
portun.ty as it is stated Gilmore
would give John the job of managing
the New York F'ederals. Western
sporting editors, especially along the
coast have been trailing Evers, and
some juicy stuff has come from there
of late. Evers seems to delight in at
lacking President Tener One sport
scribe on the coast revives the dope
about Evers claiming the National
League race was fixed.
If Evers\ did bring that back, then
we doubt if ESvers has recovered any
from the kind of fit he took at Forbes
Field a couple of times; for instance
when he and Clarke mixed, things oa
the field. The National league ra -
vas not fiXed the past year Neither
Tener nor any other National League
magnate tried to fix the race such
talk is foolish, especially from a han\
who has been in the game as long as
Evers. It is an, open secret that Pres
ident Gaffney wants to cut Evers
loose, as he is in bad with the Bos-
ton fans. John could not keep a level
temper in times of strife.

GREATER INTEREST IN
ROWING AT COLUMBIA
SINCE YALE VICTORY

New York, Dec. 14-Rowing prac-
tice for Columbia crew candidates will
commence on Feb. 8. according to an
announcement last night by Capt. w.
Norman Bratton. The Blue and White
oarsnnen have been idle since Nov. 1 2.
when they defeated Yale in dual
race at New Haven. and although this
years work on the machines will be-
gin later than ever before Athe crew
authorities at Columbia have several
good reasons.
1t is pointed out that when candi-
dates are called out in December or
January, the afternoon work on the
rowing machines interferes seriously
with the preparation for the nidyear
examinations, which are scheduled for
late in January. Last year several of
the varsity and freshman candidates
were declared ineligible on this ac-
count, and in several instances Coach
Jim Rice had to change the boating.
The visitors gallery in the gymna-
SUM has been decided upon for crew
quarters, and machines will be in
stalled within a few weeks! Three
ttboats'' Of eight machines each are to
be provided.

Harry Pierce was carrying Christ

to Gilbert Gallant Of Chelsea. Mass,
but every time Harry tried to deliver
the package Gilbert had just stepped

over Pierce-g Il was a hard fought

fan is a hardy animal.
Pierce had his celebrated haymaker
when he entered the ring and he still
had it when he left at the yend of the
fifteenth round. He couIdh'esfi find any
place to sput it. Pierce was always
willing to force the fight. AT times
lhe appeared more anxious than Cal
LIANT But the Chelsea boy must be
given credit for his defensive tactics.
He had great respect for Pierce's
hitting ability and managed to block
many wicked blows. At other times
he ducked swings which would have
knocked him into a cooked hat. His
footwork was also good Many times
he danced out of danger when Pierce,
with nre in his eye, pursued him with
the intention OF landing sleep pro-
dtlcer-
when he was backing around the
ring Gallant had a. habit of suddenly
hating and ~uf11oad1ng a 5Vo4ASy III

Eastern college circles are interest
ed in the report that Barrett, the ia
ot1s sprinting halfback of the Wash

eligible for the 1915 teams, Barrett
would be a football factor at ithaca in

victory during the past season just

the opportunity to form an idea of

The difference between the back1ot

great and Duffy was soon running the

TAD JONES WON'T
ALLOW CUSSING. IN
COLLEGE. FOOTB BALL

Tad Jones will be Ya1e's head foot.
ball coach next year. but the trouble
is he don't swear" remarked a Yale
man the other day, who is quick as a
rule, to catch the direction of the
faintests breeze, says Herbert in the
New York Tribune. The trouble is
that a. good many coaches do. All
swearing is not profanity, but a false
notion exists that some men can be
reused only by expIetives. AS mat
ter of fact, loose words never add
force to the savings of a man of char
acter and influence. They bespeak
impatience or anger rather than un-
derstanding or power. If the lack Of
cuss words is the only thing that
stands between Tad Jones and the
coaching job YaIe,s problem is solved
