COLLEGE OFFICIALS
 TO MEET IN N. Y.
Question of College Amateurism Will Be Discussed at Yale Club
 Dec. 3 and 4.

New Haven, Nov. 27.-It was an nounced last night by Professor Cor win, chairman of the Yale University athletic committee, that the joint meeting between representatives of Harvard, Princeton and Yale, to ef- feet a general revision of the eligibil- ity rules, would be held in New York at the Yale Club on December and 4.
 The Harvard and Princeton repre- sentatives will be guests of the Yale men at dinner on the night of De- cember 3, and the discussion will cover two days. The > egates will not confine themselves to the eligibil- ity question alone, but will consider the whole matter of amateurism, ac- cording to an outline of the plan of procedure given out her last night by Professor Corwin. The meeting is a partial outgrowth of YaIe's action in disqualifying Harry Le Gore and four other star Yale athletes early this month.
 Professor Corwin's statement re- garding the meeting follows:
 "This meeting will be in a certain sense the continuation of negotiations between Harvard, Princeton and Yale begun last June. It was found at that time that there was rather a wide

From Harvard Graduate.

A Harvard graduate writing on the Alumni Bulletin attacks Summer Basebalp' from novel angle. His letter is. in part, as follows:
 The endless discussion of Summer baseball is rendered all the more tiresome because the real point at is- sue is usually missed. It is not a matter of social distinctions, as some newspapers intimate; nor is it even a question of tearing down the fence between the amateur and pro- fessional paddocks. The real danger is, that if summer baseablP or any form of it should be allowed, it would soon be considered desirable. Under the pressure of intercollegiate com petition, members of the baseball squad would soon come to feel an implied obligation to devote their summers to the game in order to insure victorious teams. This situa- tion would be a scandal in itself, and the cause of endless dissatisfaction. .

altef 1t has been put into play until It mas been touched by a third player. Ihls rule will govern on all jump oalls' The confusion in the rule re- suited from the use of the word catch instead of touch
 1t was suggested in connection with this rule >at a ten-foot zone be es- tablished inside of whi/4 players save the centers may come in on iurnp ball.
 As to the requirement taken from the college rules that the centers must have their hands behind and in con- tact with their backs v>en jumping the Amateur Athletic Union officials needed much enlightenment. It was ruled too, that facing the basket means facing with the entire body and not merely looking at the bas- ket.
 Another college rule novel to the Amateur Athletic Union players was that permitting shooting for the goal after a dribble. Heretofore in Anna teur Athletic Union games the player after a dribble had to pass. the ball and was not permitted to take a shot at the goal. The Amateur Athletic Union regulation for deciding a tie game is now overruled by the college rule whereby an extra period is played off, rather than letting the play go on until one side has scored. In or der to prevent coaching there must be no talking between players and persons on the side lines.
 In plays on the side line several in terpretations were made. On thrown up balls the players are to be two or three feet in from the side line. If a ball is out of bounds and held by a player on the side not entitled to it, there is technical foul. Further more, on putting a ball into play from the side lines the man throwing the ball is to have free space of at 1 least three feet in front of him. | The Amateur Athletic Union rule 1 forbidding guarding the man with the
 ball from behind was incorporated into the new code and interpreted tc mean that the man with the ball can 1 be guarded only from in front.

Tie Will be Broken.

The winner of the Army-N Navy football game in New York City this afternoon once again goes into the lead in the race for gridiron honors between the two service academies At the present time the elevens of the soldiers and sailors have each won nine games while on resulted in a to 6 tie. Since the series started in 1890 nineteen game have been played, breaks having occurred from 1894 to 1899 and again from 1908 to 1910. In total number of points the Cadets lead with POP against the Middies 139. The highest score ever made in an Armv-Navv game was that of 1903 when the Ca dets defeated the Midshipmen 40 1o 5. On two occasions the Navy won by the narrow margin of a field goal. the aerial score being the only points, registered in these two contests.

But There Is No Indication That
 Ellis Want Cornell Mentor.

Philadelphia, Nov. 27.-Dr. Albert H. Sharpe, coach of Cornelrs unde- feated team, in answer to question yesterday regarding a rumor that he would coach Yale, said he knew nothing about the report. He said that he was content with his position at Cornell and would like to stay. ~He added he was under a five-year con- tract with Cornell and had just finish ed one year of 1t.
 When asked if he would go to Yale if Cornell released him from his con- tract. Dr. Sharpe said:
 "Inasmuch as I am Yale man and owe my first allegiance to my alma mater, of course I wHld go to Yale if that were possible"

They are Mahan of Harvard at fullback, Spears of Dartmouth, at guard, Maulbetsch of Michigan at one of the halfback posi- tions. Peck of Pittsburg at center and Barrett of Cornell at quarterback.

New York, Nov. 27.-With the 1915 football season about over the experts will now have ample oppor- tunity to review the work of the star players and select their All-American team elevens. While there are hum dreds of teams picked by the critics there are few that meet with the favor of the general run of the fol- lowers of the gridiron game. Thi, is due to the fact that every college has its favorite rooters. And some labor under the impression that at

There is no great amount of cour- age or brains in the makeup of this eleven, but it needs neither. It has enough power and speed to do the work in purely machine-like sort of way. It has what is somet.. ..nes known as the punch or the wallop.

This eleven also has the greatest quarterback ever known. He has never yet rsissed a tackle. No one has ever gotten by him for a gain. The greatest and hardest runners in the world are sure to be thrown for a loss once he slips within reach. He throws them all-the high and the low, the lean and fat, the short and tall, the poor and rich, the big and small, the mean and good, the stars and the dubs.

This great eleven we have picked i,lays in no games where there arc any prescribed rules of conduct. The other team can be composed exclus- ively of summer ball players and can do all the slugging, kicking and goug ing it cares to. Our chosen eleven makes no complaint to the referee. But in return it leaves anywhere from 1O,0 900 to 200, 900 dead on the field and ten times that number minus arms, legs, eyes and faces
 What, Indeed?
 You will read where this or that expert picks this or that star for his all-star lineup.
 | But what chance would all of those who will be picked have against any l ne we have named? l What chance would Haughton' s i shift plays have against that line? What chance would Mahan have i circling those two ends? What chance would Spears or Gill man or Buck have checking the rush of that backfeld?
New Britain herald., 1915-11-27

This eleven is not only strong on defense, but it is also the greatest offensive machine ever known.
 It is a wonderful ground gainer. as the Germans at one time, using the above combination, carried the ball 1925 miles through the bleak steppes of Russia.
New Britain herald., 1915-11-27

We have named no punter or drop kicker for this eleven, as a punter and a drop kicker are not needed. Why punt or drop kick when you can carry the ball over for a touchdown each time you start?
New Britain herald., 1915-11-27

The line is especially strong. It can be counted upon to open up any opposing formation, and if the line fails the backfield is pretty likely to go on through anyway, especially the right halfback named. The right half selected is especially useful to gain the necessary ground when a short distance is needed on the fourth down.
