YALE WON'T TRY TO USE PLAYERS
 HELD INELIGIBLE

New Haven, Oct. 3O-YaIe will make no attempt to use at present in athletics it's five players who were re- gently disqualified, according to 8 statement published by the University with Harvard and7Princeton to amend the present rules of the three colleges into g more satisfactory governing code. Included in last nights state ment was the letter from. Dean Mac CIenahan of Princeton urging Yale to reinstate the athletes and a letter from Professor Corwin of Yale to Dean Briggs of Harvcard, setting forth Yale's views.
 The Yale Athletic Association state ment- follows:
 .'Yale's position in the matter is, as will be seen, that as long as Yale's own rule stands in it's present form the five players cannot represent the university on it's intercollegiate teams whether or not the Yale rule in re- gard to summer baseball Is fair or reasonable is another question, which it is hoped, will be discussed in the near future by Harvard, Princeton and Yale. Pending, such discussion and pending possible future action. the Yale University Athletic -Associa- ton must live up to<the spirit and the lette of its present rules. This Is fully expressed in the letter from Professor Corwin to Dean Briggs of Harvard, YaIe's attitude as therein set forth having also been communicated to Princeton.

PICKING COL GATE
 TO DEFEAT YALE

l New Haven, Oct. 30-YaIe today
 made an effort to pull itself from the football quicksands. Head Coach Hinkey's players have sunk deep into the quagmire and only the rash dare predict a rescue.
 The game with Colgate was played
 with the betting odds on the visitors, | 5 to 3. This is the first time a minor college has come to Yale a betting favorite. Last week wagers were laid at even money that Washington & Jefferson would defeat the Ellis, but today plenty of Colgate packers are willing to shade the odds in favor of their sympathies. Few Yale men ex- pect their team to win,
 Yale presented a stronger eleven however, the veterans White, Kent and Conroy being again available, while the first string stars, Black and Baldridge will be sent into the latter part of the game.
 The game presented a pair of ner- tackles in Conroy and Way, a new endrush in Paul Wiedennan and a new halfback in Higginbotham. Conroy'
 was the selection for left guard in the final games of last season, but re- turned to the eleven only last week after a months absence caused by an injury to his ankle.
 He is tall and rangy and is physic- ally built for an ideal tackle Way. in returning to tackle, has come back to the position he played in his pre- paratory school football. He was taken from tackle two years ago to play center. Because of scholarship complications, Way did not play foot ball last fall Wiedman is a novice at end, but proved an excellent tackle till he was injured last fall. He has come through the ranks from the third eleven this fall.

TRINITY TO USE BRICKLEY DESPITE
 N, Y. U. PROTEST

Hartford. Oct. 30-George Brick ley, who for time was famous be- cause of the prowess Of his brother, Charles. as a drop Kicker on the liar ward eleven, and. who overnight has grown into prominence through the objections raised to his presence on the Trinity football eleven by Will Hams College and New York Univer- Blue and Gold on the. gridiron this fall, Williams and New York Univer- sity protests to the contrary notwith- standing.
 This decision was reached by, the advisory athletic council in the ad- journed meeting held yesterday after noon to pass upon the formal protest from New York University and a let ter explaining the stand of Trinity in this case and the reasons, therefore, has been forwarded to Prof. T. F. Jones, chairman of the committee on student organization of New York University
 At the same time the Trinity coun- ell takes a sharp dig at the summer basebalr' rule, which, it declares, is frequently evaded, and also tends to hyprocisy among the students be- cause of the manner in which this evasion is winlxed at. The statement 8OS8 Trinity had declined to become a member of the Intercollegiate Ath- 1etic Association, and had given the above reasons for so declining, it was again solicited for membership and given to understand that by no means all of the present members professed to keep the regulations, or seriously tried to do it, and that Trinity might join, reserving it's entire freedom of cohviction and action.
 To sum the whole matter up, Trin- fly stands by it's present code of rules 1or eligibility in athletes, namely, that a. student must be of good moral standing, attain the required percent age necessary in his studies, and not be under any disciplinary condition, and that as long as Brfck1ey complies with these requirements. he will be anowed to represent Trinity on the football eleven. Only one condition goes with this. that Brick1ey shall wish to play. and they further as- sure New York University that he is under no obligation to play on the Trinity team financially or otherwise.

WAGNER'S OWN COLUMN

Nothing much can happen today to astonish football followers. Yale has a1reardy been beaten twice so a defeat in the Colgate game would not be startling. As Harvard's co1ors have also been lowered. The Crimson slate will not be clean if it does down the strong Penn State team.
 Princeton has been able to c1eaH up all corners so far and no parGcu ular trouble is expected from Williams to- day. Pennsylvania has. not been very well this season but ought to trounce Lafayette, which is not producing it's usual high class football this year. Cornell has an easy game with Vir- ginia Polytechnic. In fact it. looks like an easy day for all the big colleges except Yale and Harvard.
 From present indications the foot ball championship will be claimed by Cornell and Princeton. The Ithacans should vanquish Michigan and Penn sylvania, which taken in c9pnection with the victory over Harvard would give them the high rank. Many pre- dict Princeton will beat both Harvard and Yale, thus putting the Tigers very much in the race for the title.
 Johnny Dundee and Joe Rivers have been matched to box ten rounds in Milwaukee November 8. Dundee is getting to be quite 9, drawing card since he outpointed Welsh.
 The poor, old drama is never safe. Here is Frank Moran, conqueror of Jim Coffey, getting ready to make his stage debut. He opens in Pittsburgh next Monday but we don't know how long he'll stay open.

PHILLIPS MAGNATE
 TRYING TO SQUARE PAT MIGRANTS CASE

New York, Oct. 3O-In an effort to square himself with Philadelphta fans, President William F. Baker Of the National League champions is do- ing his best to make things appear in a more favorable light since Bne publication of the stories telling Of differences between him and Manager Moran. His first move was to make the following statement:
 There is no truth in the state, ment that there is any trouble be- tween Manager Moran and myself told him last Wednesday I was ready to talk contract for one, two or three years but he said he was tired and anxious to get home, and would see me in New York in about two weeks and fix up his contract and further added that there would be no trouble Moran's salary for 1915 was a con siderabIy larger amount than has been guessed at by those desiring to make trouble, and he earned a bonus that was paid last Wedn nesday."
 The above wire says that Baker handed Moran a bonus on Wednes-. day, although at o'clock Thurs day morning, just as Moran was about to board a train for Fftchburg, the latter said:
 "The Phillies haven't paid me a bonus or given me a single present for winning the pennant."
 This was 24 hours after Baker as- serted that the bonus was handed him. Genuinely scared, Baker asked Pat for a conference, and the pennant winner agreed to meet him in two weeks.

 That the Phi1s got away with a part of the rich worlds series swag is due in no small measure to the ability of this same Edward J. Burns, and his little playmates should do something handsome for him tomorrow, when he will celebrate his twenty-eighth birth day. Eddie is a native son of the Golden West, having been born in San Francisco, on October S1s 1887 He is one of the several Calffornians who took part in the recent series in c1uding his teannmates Wooden Shoes Cravath, and Dutch Leonard. Duffy' Lewis and Harry Hooper of the Red Sox.
 Eddie's first baseball fame was gained at St. Mary's College, and in 1911 he broke into professional ranks with Sacramento. He wasn't constd- cred good enough for the Coast Lea- que, and was turned over to Tacohaal5 H., eta in Tacoma, and was purchased bys che St. Louis Cardinals toward the end of the season, but he did not look good enough on the 1912 training trip, and Montreal got him. His great work iR the Canadian metropolis won for him another chance in the big show and he was bought by the Phillies in the autumn of 1918.

of anything he has

pace far in excess of anything he has shown to date.
 In twenty or twenty-five round contest Willard would be in 9 position to wear down his opponent in the slow. deliberate manner characteristic of his fighting meth ods. Some idea of Moran's ability over a distance route can be gathered from the fact that he fought twenty rounds with Jack Johnson in Paris on July A.. 1914. Although he lost the decision on the points the same would have been true of Willard had his battle with John son i'd Havana, last April been limited to a similar number of rounds.
 Apparently the Pacific Coast is de- ve1oping another cfnder path flyer in Frank SIoman, the youth who re- gently broke the American Interschol- Sastic record for the quarter mile by running that distance in 48 1-5 sec onds. An idea of this schoolboy's s speed can be gathered from the fact that, although thousands of 40 yard dashes have been run in the past 15 years the record has been broken but three times

Everett won all games during the 1914 season, run ming up total of 500 points to oppon- ents' zero. The defeat of the Oak Park CIl1.o High school team by 9 score of 80 to was the feature o1 Everett's schedule.

FRED WENCK NEW
 BOXING OFFICIAL.
 FULL OF BUSINESS

New York, Oct. 30-Fred A. Wenck, chairman of the State Athletic Com
 mission, is a man ot deeds, and the longer he serves the more he con- vinces the boxing enthusiasts that he means business. He took hold of af- fairs at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. night and prevented what might have been an awkward situa- tion. Dundee guaranteed Faftchie $3,500, and when the amount Of money in the house failed to come up to expectations he asked the Cham pion to consent to a, reduction of $500, which, the latter naturally refused to do. Then Montieth, Dundee's man ager, made few statements. and wound up by saying that he would not allow Dundee to box.
 Wenck heard of this, however. and proceeded to the dressing room, where he gave Montieth his choice of allow ing his man to go through with the
 match or having him suspended for indefinite period. That settled all discussion. Then there was a discus sion over the weights of the men, Ritchfe weighed in in the presence of the club inspector, but Wenck was not satisfied that all was we'll, and or dered the champion out of the ring and made him weigh in all over again. Likewise he attended to the weighing of Dundee as a preca utionary meas ure.
 There will be no cause for com plaint by the fans at these big bouts l if the commission can prevent it, |" said Wenck yesterday. Tt is my in tention to be present at all of them, if possible, and will look after the welfare of the game to the best of
 my ability. I may make a few ene7 mics but one has to expect that

The team came by way of Pitssfield and paused there to give the natives an exhibition of signal practice.
 Trinity's stand in refusing to with draw George Brick1ey from the foot ball eleven because he played profes- sional baseball, is to- be commended. The officials say that so long as Brick ley is student sin good standing he has a right to represent the college. That ruling is better than the hypo- critical attitude of some institutions which wink at summer baseball play ling by students so long as their guilt is not made public.
