CHARGES REVIVED
BY A. A. U. QUARREL
National Registration Com
mittee to Settle Cases Of
Pennsylvania Athletes.
CAPT. DOBLTN INVOLVED

The quarrel in the Middle Atlantic As
ISOLATION of the A. \. L. has led to the
reopening OF several cases of alleged
violations of the amateur laws in the
Pennsylvania district and the national
registration committee is probing with
the idea of settling once and for all the
questions involving the amateur status
Of several prominent athletes.
The disclosures have been made be
cause of the local trouble In tho Middle
Atlantic district between what IL known
as the Pawling and Carney factions.
Carney and his friends insist that the
regist' alton committee failed TO take
cognizancc OF evidence which he sub
mitted and which lie asserts proved pro
fe~ssionalism The most serious case is
that against Donald T.. Doblin, captain
of the Penn STATE track team. Carney
says that when lie was haudiGIppcr for
the district he saw Doblin compete In
professional games n Mahauoy city.

slacc become a professional. vas u com

registration committee ahsolyed Goblin
but that the committee never rendered a
report OF its proceedings 20 the Middle
Atlantic Association. Charges OF lesser
moment against Alma Richards, the
Olympic champion high jumper, were
treated in Il similar manner.
When asked about this phase of the
Middle Atlantic row last night Chairman
Ruben of the national registration said
his committee was making a thorough
inquiry into the circumstances and that
the matter would he settled at the meet
ing Of the committee to- be- held o.
November II. tn" day prior 10 tine an

ATHLETES ASK A. A. U.
TO DROP DECATHLON
Urge Restoration of Old All
Round Championship as
Truer Test.

Many OF the most prominent athletes
of the country have pronounced against
the decathlon as a test of all around
ability and have petitioned the A. A. L.
to restore its old all o champion
ship, which It Is contended Is a more
truly all around contest than the
des,athlon, which was conducted for the
first time as an A. A. L.. championship
at the Panama-lacitic meet last August.
In adopting the Olympic event the
A. A. l.. had the idea OF standar'tizing
competitions as far a. possible and thus
carrying out the plans of the late James
l.. Sullivan, who worked hard to bring
rules AMI events in harmony 80 that
no one nation should have an advantage
over another in Olympic competitions.
No sooner had the decathlon been dc
c,d,-l at San Francisco than practical
athletes began TO pick holes in the COM
petition. The objections TO the new
event were lodged with Frederick w.
Ruben, chairman Of the championship
committee, and he asked that the objec-
tions b. put in the form Of n petition
and presented for action at tho annual
meeting Of the A. A. L.
II Is claimed by those responsible for
the ~ret1tion that the decathlOn Is an nm
balanced composition in which the inhtbi-
ton placed on the specialist and the
runner by the half mile walk II the b6
Mound weight has been removed. Both
OF these were included in the old all
around championship programme. TIE
old event was contested in one day. while
the decathlon Is spread over two days,
THIS, II In c~ontendel, eliminates the en-
durance factor. and makes the contest
an imperfect gauge of all around ability.
The petitioners state hat they are in
accord with the idea of a set
Of events for the world. hut hold that
the A. A. Y. should retain the all around
championship OF Its programme and use
tits influence with h International
Amateur Athletic Federation toward
substituting tho all around for the
decathlon in olympic games.
Many noted all around men are among
the signcrs Of the petition. including
Avery Brundage and Harry Goel!tz Of
the Chicago A. A., who were first and
second in the Central Association all
around championship: James j. bona
hue, Los Angeles A. c., nth in tho

which is approved by the following
trainers; Lawson Robertson, Irish Amer
lean A. O.; Martin A. Delaney. Chicago

Secretary Ruhlen said last night that
the matter would be carefully considered
at the annual meeting, where arguments
for both sides would be weighed before

Commenting on the Yale football situ-
alton need OF calling IN graduate
football men to lend eleventh hour as
sistance in getting the Yale eleven into
shape for the championship games the
Yale Alurni Weekly out tomorrow will
say:
THE situation In Yale football, which
came rather to a head the early part Of
the week. has been forming ever since
the last quarter Of the Princeton game
of last year. Up to that time everything
had been fast going for Coach Hinkey's
fist team under his new theory Of play.
His almost steady series ~ spectacular
successes IA the smaller games Of last
year came 10 a climax IN tho hcwilierirC
and Kaleidoscope attack that brought
three rousing to%uchdowns in the first
three periods Of the Princeton game.
9TH tumble from that pinnacle began
with Prlncetpn's two touchdowns in the
fourth period Of that came-the result
of a rapid comeback by Princeton against
a suddenly discovered weak defence 10y
Yale. This lack was Yalc's main trouble
in the Harvard game that followed,
though the Harvard offence was prob
ably the strongest that Yale had ever
COPIED with in the historic series between
the two universities.
The team undoubtedly needs AT this
junctur. three things very badly. and
is entitled TO them. IL needs experienced
and older coaches, knowledge of how 10
play the individual positions and conf
dcncc. II Coach Hinkey has made any
important mistake last year and this
II has been. in our opinion. in not sur
rounding himself with older men who
could supply these things. He and the
captain have nov remedicd his mistake.
There is therefore some light In the
darkness, as the team this week has
shown the good effects OF the change.
Under the new plan there will he no
single head coach. but Coach Hinkey viii
act on the board Of coaches under the
traditional Yale plan. The anal illus

organization and distribution Of respon-
sibility in our present Yale athletic sys-

and much. If not all, of the current
troubles i'm oar athletics would vanish.
Such a plan you'd he found"

For some reason which he was at a

good golf TO the inward nine. Going

when he came to the eight and ninth

the first nine was 43.

to go out, but coming in buckled down

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. yale had
another day Of Tom Shevlln's tear 'em
up tactics this afternoon, with the result
that the Blue eleven is a good deal
nearer the goal II championship foot
ball form than they were after the Col
gate defeat last Saturday.
The Minneapolis lumberman is still
as strenuous as ever In his methods and
to-day he was surrounded by many Of
his old friends In college, some Of whom
played football with him. They looked
on while Shevlin marched behind tho
Yale eleven and drove them w and down
the field. Capt. Wilson'S judgment that
Shevlin was one Of the men who could
help put fire into the Blue players was
correct apparently. for the team ex-
hibited more drive and power on the
offensive than for weeks.
Doc Cornish and Bin Marting. the
freshman coaches. offered up the sacri-
flee 10 varsity football aspirations. They
brought over their best eleven to the
vars ty field. II was the same one which
defeated the regulars decisively ten days
ago. 1t did not take the youngsters long
to find out something had happened to
their elders brothers, for the varsity
took the ball on the kickoit and wen
down the field at a terrific pace. Shevlin
followed all the way, driving the Yale
backs into the freshman line n urging
the forwards to break open sti!l larger
holes In the opposing line. only simple.
straight line plays were used, but they
were effective enough.
