YALE WOULD ADMIT FRESHMEN
Yale Said to Back Amendment to Rules
of intercollegiate Body

New York, Jan. 1.-Two or three
interesting amendments may be made
at the meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Intercollegiate Association
of Amateur Athletes of America, which
will be held in this city next Sunday.
One proposal is to allow six preliminary
trials instead of three in the weight
events and in the broad jump The
supporters of this amendment have pro-
duced number of examples from past
meets which indicate the necessity of
such change, and it seems likely to
be put through. 1t will be tried out in
measure at the indoor intercollegiate
meet on March 6, when six trials will
be allowed in the shotput.
Another important change that will
be discussed is proposal to allow
freshmen to compete in the intercollegi-
ate meet. Yale is said to be back of
the movemen. to take down the bars
which have kept freshmen out of the
intercollegiates for number of years.
Any proposed changes that are ap-
proved by the executive committee will
have to be passed at the meeting of the
association on March 6, before they can
take effect.

Detective Burns at the Victoria Theatre
To-day Only

Intensely interesting and highly
thrilling is 1.-The Five Million Dol
lar Counterfeiting Plot" featuring
Detective Burns in five big reels which
is the special attraction to-day at the
Victoria theatre, 223 Market street. An
exciting romance of the daughter of
"a counterfeiter who fell in love with
a detective forms the climax of this
exceptional story which is set among
many strong gripping scenes which are
full of heart-thrOos and thrills. The
plot is great mystery and acting as
excellent, the play being produced ac-
tually as it occurred in the famous
Philadelphia and Lancaster counter
feiting case in which Mr.. Burns re-
vea!s mechanical secrets employed by
the most emgeaious band of counter
feiters in the world. The great detec-
tive appears in nearly all of the thrill
ing scenes throughout the film, which
has drawn capacity audiences where
it has been shown in other cities.
Tomorrow feature will be "'The
Coming Power" an exceptional drama
in four parts. The program will be
concluded with ''The Baby's Ride"

WHITNEY TO PLAY POLO
Ex-Captain of big Four Decides to
Again Take Up Game

Admirers of polo will be glad to learn
that Harry Payne Whitney, probably
the greatest polo captain that ever
guided team to victory on the field,
will take more personal interest in polo
this year than he did last. In 1913 he
was unable to play because he had
injured a shoulder while hunting. He
is now recovered and will take part in
several games next season.
MT. Whitney's s return to the saddle
does not necessarily mean that he will
again be a member of the American
team which will go to England after
the cup. Even though he had not met
with the accident early last year, he
would not have played on the Big Four
team. Previous to the mishap he had
declared that he would not be one of
the members of the team that would
defend the cup.
The reason he advanced was that
the training necessary to perfect his
physical condition for the international
polo series was too severe, and he did
not care to undergo the ordeal. But
with Mr.. Whitney in the saddle again
next year he may round into form
gradually and thus lead up to the pos.
sibility f-his being one of the Amer.
lcan four who may challenge for the
cup IN 1916. The date of the challenge
will depend on the continuation of the
war.
Mr.. Whitney now has &c polo ponies
IN his winter training quarters This
is the biggest individually owned strino
in the country. Mr.. Whitney is keeping
these fine mounts so that he will have
plenty of material to call upon when he
starts to play polo next summer.

GUILTY OF NUMBERING WIFE
Michael Louisa, of st. Clair, Convict
ed on Circumstantial Evidence

Pottsville, Pa, Jan. 11.-After an
all-night session, taken up in argument,
the jury in the case of Michael Louisa,
of st. Clair, who is charged with the
murder of his wife, brought in verdict
yesterday of guilty in the first degree.
Louisa will be the first man sent from
Schuylkill to the electric chair. There
is not much chance that he will get a
new trial, although his counsel made
the usual formal motion for one.
The evidence against Louisa was
purely circumstantial In October, 1913.
Mrs. Louisa was found dead in forest
two miles from her home There were
marks of violence upon the body. Be-
fore the State police completed their
investigation Louisa fed and was
brought back here from Pittsburgh,
where he shrieked, "I didn t kill her!''
as soon as a policeman s hand was laid
on his arm. Two daughters of Louisa
were witnesses for the prosecution, but
appreeiating the delicacy of their po-
sition the District Attorney did not
press them very hard.
Judge Bechtel and the officers of the
court were preparing to go to church
when news came that the Jury had
agreed, and in half an hour a Sunday
session of court was opened. Louisa
stood speechless with astonishment and
fear when his fate was announced. The
jury had been deliberating since 4
o clock Saturday.

Manager R. NJ. Murphy, of the. Wash

nounced last night that he had rejected
an offer to play the University of
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia on Satur-

The tender from the Penn authori.
ties came in the nature of surprise.
as no game had been solicited Man
afer Murphy expressed regret that he
was unable to accept, as he considers
such a game big feature for the W.
and j. schedule. He has suggested the
opening of negotiations for contest at
Franklin Field in 1916. 1t is known
that Coach Folwell, of w. and j., for
mer Penn star, has been anxious for
two years to get a game with Pennsyl-
vania, and he urged the acceptance of
the offer if the authorities could see
their way clear to take another trip.

Penn, sustaining defeat at Philadel.
