Yale football games. and that city fs
considered one Of the best football CEN
ters in the East. It Is predicted that the
Georgetown-Holy Cross game will draw
an enormous crowd next fall. and plans
arc underway to make tho event an an
nual affair there.
Navy has already given Georgetown q

both the North Carolina A. & M. and
South Carolina University will again be
on the Hilltoppers' schedule. There Is
also a chance that Fordham will bring

mind the fact that Percy Haughton,
Harvards wizard coach. and Glenn

One of the worst records for a high
priced pitcher in the American League
was made by Vean Gregg. who was
shifted from Cleveland to Boston last
year. And he drew a salary of $500.

Ed Corrigan. the veteran turfman.
has applied for n position as racing
secretary for the Kentucky tracks.
Corrigan was once worth millions and
was looked upon as one Of the lead
ing turfmen of the country. but re-
verses on the race track and in the
stock market wiped out his bank ac-
count. His popularity and knowledge
of racing will probably land him the
position.
In the West II is claimed that the
University of Michigan will return to
the Western conference before the
opening of the 1916 football season.
The Wolverines are said to be con-
sidering this step and will not book
| games with any Of the Eastern teams
rbut Pennsylvania and Cornell until II
is definitely decided. 1t would be a
great thing for the game at Michi-
gan il the Maize and Blue rejoins the
conference.
