Speaking of old Yale men as good coaches-which you were," comments T., l.. H., "what is the matter with Foster Sanford in this direction?'' Nothing whatsoever, even to the slightest detail They don't come any better from anywhere or at any time.
 Coming Events in Sport.
 Coming events are said to toss their shadows lightly out before them. Rut the shadow of disaster more than frequently comes with sudden drooping from what you might call clear sky or an unblurred heaven. During the amateur golf champ ionships at Detroit Fielding Yost told us that he expected to have much be tier eleven than he had year ago. Yale men in September were looking for another old time Yale season. Both in 1906 and last spring John McGraw believed he had two easy pennants won. Both years brought him more disaster than any other two he has ever known with the Giants.
 The BriclsIey and Le Gore Cases
 The two cases of George Brickley and Harry Le Gore should prove to be tf great aid in rounding up our com nllCAted
 No more striking instances could be devised Yale, through her eligf- t:,,ity rules, drops one man because he received expenses for playing sum- mer ball.
 Trinity, through her eligibility sys- tenn, refuses to drop another man de- spite the fact that he was a member of the Philadelphia Athletics. Here we have tlIe extremes. Hero we have the amateur muddle at it's deepest depth. The complicated and complex tangle of our amateurism is shown here beyond any other in- stances on record.

S. C., IT that Mahan is a greater football player than Chuck Barrett of Cornell? Continual references to Mahan as the greates player has lit orally got our collective goats up here at Cornell, for we are quite certain that Barrett is the greatest player of the year-and the most valuable. He can outkick Mahan and he is just as good carrying the ball ;
 1 Under these conditions why not split the laurel two ways and award both Chuck and Eddie their due? + If playing against Trinity. because of Brickley, would professionalize a lival team
 Why isn't Yale a professional team through meeting the Giants?
 Or Harvard through facing the Braves or Red Sox?
 Williams played Trinity with Brick ley and that then would profession alize Williams. And as Princeton played Williams. Princeton, too would be under the ban.
 The heather Chinese may be as peculiar as Bert Harte painted him tut at that he has nothing on man5 of those ruling amateur sports.
 There is one beautiful thing about a college football argument. There is no uncertainty about the outcome. You know in advance you haven't got a chance to win.
 Michigan" comments a Kansas reader, "is knocking at the back door of both the East and the West for her games.
 ] Since when have Harvard, Cornell and Pennsylvania registered in the Pack Door League?

 We were talking a day or two ago with one of the best lawn tennis players in America-and one of the keenest students of the game.
