ARMY WILL HAVE TO
 FIND A NEW COACH
Lieut.. Daily Ordered to Honolulu for Three Icars-His Teams
 Always Beat Navy.

West Point, Dec. 1.-Lieut Charles Daly, U. S. A., left here yesterday for San Francisco, from which port he will sail on a government transport on December for Honolulu. Lieut.. Daily is attached to the First Regi- ment of Field Artillery and will take station with his battery at Schofield Barracks, Honolulu. He is through with football for three years. This means that DaIy will not coach the Army eleven again for some time. been rumored recently, for his tour of duty in the Sandwich Islands is due to last for two years at least:
 Lieut. Daly was captain of the Har- yard eleven in 1900. He entered the Military Academy in 1901, being gra aduated in 1905. During his first two years as a cadet he played quar- terback on the Army team. Both these years the Army defeated the Navy. In his plebe year, 1901, Daily won from the Navy, as did Oliphant last week, by scoring all the points for tine cadets. The result of that game was Il to in favor of the Army. The next year the Army won again, with | Daily big factor in the 22 to 8 vic- 1 tory.
 In 1903 and 1904 Daily, while still a cadet, acted as one of the coaches If the Army eleven, and the cadets won both those years from the Army 1 team in 1913, 1914 and during the 1 season just closed, all three of which
 years saw Army victories. While con-
 nected with Army football as player l CT head coach Daly never saw an Array defeat in the annual service gridiron battle.

St. Paul, Minn., Dec. Mike Gib- bons, the sensational middleweight or this city, has mapped out stren- uous schedule for himself. He in tends to take on all the so-called
 champions in the near future and dispose of them in masterly syle to establish a clear claim to the middle weight crown. AS a starter Gibbons will take on Young Ahearn, the European middleweight champion. m a ten round battle to be held here at the Capital A. C., Dec. 10. When these two clever chaps meet, there fore, it will be some battle. Accord ing to Ahearn's manager, the crafty
 Daniel McKetrick, the European bat tier, who has come to be known as
 England's best boy, will beat Gibbons and beat him decisive1y. It is diff cult for northwestern fight followers to imagine such a state of affairs. While they do not believe that there is man in the world today who can beat Mike Gibbons decisively, still, If there is such a man. they want to see him. Like the Missourians, they want to be "shown.' When Me- Ketrick signed articles for this fight he asked President Dow of the Cap ital City Athletic club if he is friend of Mike Gibbons. Upon receiving an affirmative reply McKetrick said: what are you trying to do? Sign away the best friend you've got? This fellow Ahearn will whip Gibbons a5 sure as you are alive" So confident is this McKetrick person of victory over Gibbons Dec. 10, that he has shouted from the housetops in New York the fact that Ahearn will not only whip Gibbons in his own town. but that the European battler will knock Gibbons out. Should Mike Gibbons win this battle this man Mo Ketrick will have to hunt a hole and hibernate the rest of the winter, for he will have absolutely no alibi when he returns to New York. The fact that the Minnesota boxing commission may give it's consent to allow a de- cision in this important fight is caus- ing lots of talk throughout the north west. Should such an action be taken by the commissioners, 1t will mean that the much muddled middle
 weight championship question will
 be definitely cleared. The commission
 will not give out it's decision on the
 matter until Dec. '. Upper illus
 tration shows Mike Gibbons second

BLACK ELECTED 2
 YALE CAPTAIN
Star Guard Beats Out Sheldon for
 Honor After Close Contest

New Haven, Dec. 1.-Clinton R. Black, Jr., of New York city was elected captain of the 1916 Iakf football team at the annual footbak banquet held last night The new leader of the Blue eleven is guard. He is d junior in the Sheffield Scien- tific school and member of the Cloister club. Before he entered Yale he was captain of the Phillips Exeter Academy eleven and his first year at Yale was captain of the Yale freshmen.
 This season was Blacks first on the Yale varsity. In the Lehigh gaThe he suffered a twisted ankle, which kept him out of hard play until just before the Princeton game. In thot contest he showed his football ability and proved one of the stars of the Yale eleven. In the Harvard game a week later he was one of three Yale men who played through the entire contest. Ho was all over the field tn that game, although he did not shine as much as he did a week previously.
 It had been expected until yester- day that the election of the new Yale captain would be deferred until after the meeting of the representatives in the eligibility committee from Har- ward, Princeton and Yale, which will pass on the eligibility of Harry Le Gore and the four other Yale ath- tletes on December 3 and 4. 1t WIS thought that LeGore the Yale full back last season, might have a chance for the position, but the decision to hold the election last night put him out of the running. It is doubtful if he would have been elected. The other prominent candidate for the post was Club Sheldon, the tackle who is a senior in the Sheffield Scien' tifc school, a member of the st Anthony society and star on the Yar eleven for two seasons.

BENDER SUES FEDS.
Famous Indian Stars Action Against New League to Get $S,666 for 1916.

Famous Indian Stars Action Against New League to Get $S,666 for 1916. New York, Dec. 1.-Charles <A. Bender, the Indian pitcher who was dropped from the Baltimore Federals last August because, as the president of the club declared. he did not keep himself in good condition,' brought a breach of contract suit for $8,666 in the United States District court yesterday against the Federal league. The suit was filed through the law firm of Wilber, Norman & Kahn of 299 Broadway. An attempt also was made yesterday to serve summons on J. A. Gilmore, president of the Federal league, at his office at 1,476 Broadway, but he was out.
 Bender is a Chippewa Indian and a graduate of Carlisle. For twelve years he was one of Connie Mack's mainstays on the Philadelphia Amer jeans. Mack asked for waivers on Bender after the baseball season of 1914 and, receiving no bids for the Indian twirler from the major clubs, dropped him. Mack never could be induced to clear up the mystery re- garding the Indians release.
 On December 4, 1914 Bender sign ed a two year contract with the Fed eraI league under which he was to get s7,5OO a year. He pitched for the Baltimore Federals until August 30 last, when he received the follow ing notification from c. w. Basin, president of the Federal Baseball club of Baltimore:

What was the greatest individual performance of the recent football campaign? Mahans feat of scoring 29 points against aYle? Yost, of Michigan, doesn't think so. The Vol verine expert says by all odds the greatest exhibition was Shiverick's $ kicking against Harvard. Here was a man not supposed to be any part of a star kicker" says Yost, and when Barrett is hurt and the cham Iionship test is on, he gives not only the greatest bunting exhibitions of the year, but one of the greatest ever seen. In that game he kicked as well against the wind as Mahan did with it at his back, winning a champion ship by his work

In the midst of this football chat ter, now on the verge of waning swiftly from the days gossip, along comes old Honus Wagner leading the shortstops, well beyond Maranville and Bancroft, supposed to be hls main successors. But how can any one succeed a king who hasn't ab- dicated?
