big THREE" MAY
FAVOR SUMMER BALL
Yale, Harvard and Princeton
Have the Matter Under
Amusement

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Dec. s. - Yale,
Harvard and Princeton probably will go
on record as having summer baseball
with restrictions, 1t was learned here on
good authority. The matter was con-
sidered at length at the recent meeting
in New York of the Point Eligibility Com
mittee from Yale, Harvard and Prince
ton. where a new set of eligibility rules
was tentatively adopted which will be
passed upon later by the individual ath-
letio associations.
It is stated that mere playing of base
ball in the summer was considered by
the members of the committee as a good
thing for the sport and that 1t was play
ing for clubs against the existing rules
that was deprecated. AS the committee
had full power to change the rules sub
ject to later ratification by the athletic
associations, the committee devised
scheme which includes a supervision OF
summer baseball by the college author
tiles, from whom a permit must be OBJ
tanned before n man can play.

This fall George Brooke's title was sup
posed to have been that of advisory coach

said that there were other advisory
coaches who managed TO have their way.
with disastrous results 1t is said that
everything Dickson suggested to improve
tha oifense was voted down by the coach
ing board and he was forced to take
orders from others instead of having n
free hand as head coach should.
Dickson wants chance to vindicate
himself, but Insists that he would not care
to return to Penn with conditions as they
nave been for the last three seasons
There Is certain to be an advisory coach
ing board unless the system is turned
completely upside down, and this is not
likely until the new coach. whoever he
may be. proves that he is big enough
for the job. Dickson. however. wants

far below the college standard, particu-
larly in size. He has a wonderful per-
sonality, is tireless worker and thor
oughly capable in every way.
The experience Dickson gained with the
1915 eleven will probably do him more
good than the II years he has coached
previous to this fall. He was in n posi-
tion where he could not do himself JUS
tice, but he faced the music. took all the
criticism that was hurled at the coaching
and Is still taking 1t without offering
excuses.
Lack Of interference and not lack Of
natural power held back the Penn Of
fense last fall. The team had enough
plays. Its offense was n combination OF
the Harvard and Cornell systems which
were wonderful point scorers. and with
interference Penn would not have APP
peared so weak.
AT Bucknell Dickson made a reputa-
tion because of the manner in which his
llnesmen got into the interference. The
same thing would have resulted at Penn

the poor work was not the fault of the

was brough to a climax in the seventh
round, when Referee Frank O'Bricn dis
qualified o'Keefe after the latter was
guilty of butting.
The third man excused Tommy at the
conclusion of the sixth session for his
attempt to kick Thomas believing
O'Keefe had lost his head in his
endeavor to finish their "grudge" de-
cisively. but when a few seconds after the
start of the next flame Tom continued
his unwarranted foul tactics, OBrlen
sent both boys to their respective corners
Although the fight fans. some of whom
went to Norristown from Philadelphia to
witness what they expected to be n great
battle, were greatly disappointed at the
unooked-for finish. Referee O'Brien
made no mistake in stopping the bout.
Previous to O'Keefe's attempt to kick
Thomas with his right foot, Tommy had
used his elbows and head in the clinches.
Thomas fought n fsrocious battle. He
wanted to stop O'Keefe to prove his
superiority. but at no time did Charley
attempt foul tactics. He started the bout
by assuming the aggressive end OF the
fight. He forced the mixing through
out, and although O'keefe had the bet
