the fraternities during the eIecti ons that nave been held to select assistant managers of the athletic teams.
 Under the present condition tho freshman assistant manager of the football team is the only one elected in the Fall. This choice is made in October, but, the assistant manager ship elections of track, baseball, and crew have always been held in the spring.
 Itfs now proposed to hold all of lhe elections the first week after Christ mas and thus eliminate the fraterni- ties from any interest in the caln- paign. The change has already re- ceived the mark of approval from the Athletic Association and tomorrow it will come up for action before the entire student body. A two-thirds vote is necessary to effect a change, but it is believed there will be no diff ficulty in obtaining a favorable return strength hening of Yale athletics
 The chief evil of the present. method has to do only with the time that the election will precede the admittance of take in freshmen in February and, with the assistant managerial cleo tions following it soon after, there is a pronounced fraternity influence felt. Under the, new plan, provided it is accepted by the undergraduates the Eelection will preced the admittance of the freshman and eliminate fraternity politics.
 Simultaneously with this movement there is the announcement that 8 change in the make up of the Stu dent Council is contemplated. It is this body which represents the stu rents in the dealing of the latter with the Faculty. At present it is compos- de Of seven men of the senior class, ! but now it is proposed that three classes shall have a membership in the council. This, it is suggested, could best be accomplished by retain ingA the seven seniors on the board and the election of five additional members from the junior class and threef rom the sophoInore.

YANKEES PLAN
 TO REMAIN AT POLO GROUNDS

New York, Dec. 8-The Yankees may abandon plans for a baseball park in Queens and remain at the Polo. Grounds for long period if a satisfactory agreement can be reach ed with the management of the Giants Several conferences have been held :. between President Harry N. Hempstead. of the Giants and Colonel Jacob Ruppert and Captain T. l.. Illus ton of the Yankees with this end in view, and it is reported that a satis- factory arrangement has been tenta- lively completed
 The invasion of the Federal league in this city has made it apparent to the men of organized baseball that they must fight the aggression of the new league in Manhattan The re- aIizafion of this point, it is said, has brought more favorable terms to the Yankees for the leasing of the Polo Grounds, and this park may be the home of the American league club for the next five years.
 The Yankees have been planning to build in Queens, the site even having been selected, but if the club can ob- tain a favorable rental at the Giants grounds there is no urgent demand for a new ball park.

CLAIMS MILLIKEN
 RUSHED ON FIELD DURING ARMS GAME

The New Haven Journa1-CouIier this morning prints the following from M J. Whalen regarding last Sundays game:
 .tTn answer to Coach John Mil1i- ken's denial of reports of intrusion on the field that brought about the ces- sation of affairs at the Washington G1ee club and Rsenington-Arrns foot ball game, I wish to state that the facts as printed by the Journa1-Cour- fer on last Monday morning, of which am the author, are true in every de- tail
 ssMr- MillIken contends, in his ef- forts tofset himself right. after going on the field, that he did so after d number that totalzed 4.ooo people had surged on the field. This is abso- 1ute1y erroneous, and as he stated, Edward Reil1ey carried the ball, and was relieved of it Cor he stated, it was sto1eno, by one of the G1ee club players, is an added .fa1sehood.
 s.Ass Casey, who replaced Moshier in the .backfe1d, >endeavored to gain ground through his left tackle, he fumb1ed the: ball, that was recovered by Joe Kearns, the G1ee club right tackle, and having the ball, Kearps was informed by Referee PetesL.awIor 8 halt in the play, before the ball 7 ting up appoint for an argument that caused considerable wrang1ing.
 Captain Fritz Stuhlman of the G1ees maintains that no whistle was blown by MT Lawlor, and demanded the retention of the ball for his team. While in the course of the argument Coach MiIliken appeared on the field and Captain Fritz Stuhlnan, drawing g the attention of MT. Law1or. to the Arms coach on the field, demanded that a penalty of 15 yards be levied upon the ReTnington-Arns for Mil1i. ken,s appearance without permission.
 After deliberating on this point, Referee Lawlor agreed to place a pen atty upon the Arms eleven, and the possession of the ball was again atsis- sue, but Referee sLaw1or reiterated that the ball would go to the Arms with a penalty.
 .sIn the meantime. Quarterback Ed die Reilly escorted Coach sAfil1iken to the side lines and it wassat this june lure that the crowd proceeded toward Referee Pete Law1or and the squab- bling players. Laswlor remaining in the same position during the dispute that f@lIewed the tumble until, a pc lice officer appeared and in the preaS ence of the writer suggested that the official AcalI a halt who up to that time had not made any decision on calling the game. and following the suggestion of the officer, MT. I1awlor, who was being questioned by Johnny Nagle, of the G1ees, displayed dis position to offer the football to one Of the captains, He stated at the time that he was particularly anxious to see the captain in order that he might turn over the football.
 .sThe most important point, that of Coach MilI1ken entering the field without permission is one that. can be regarded as an assured fact and can be cerroborAted by a number of Glee club players and Captain Fritz stuhl- man, who ordered the penalty iEnpos- ed, as well as Joe Kearns, who recov- cred the ball upon the tumble of Casey and not Eddie Reilley. as alleg- ed by Mir N1i1liken.'

CORNELL. H0 ING FOR CON NTEST WITH
 HARVARD IN 1916

Ithaca. Dec. sS-With the election of a captain and a.1big student demon strat1on in honor of the first cham pionaffp eleven ever turned out at Ithaca the football, season at Cornell will come to an end this week Never before has enthusiasm for the great gridiron game run so high in Ithaca and. never has Cornell produced so many good players on single team While the probable choice for captain of next years eleven is som newl1at in doubt. indications are Cornell will not depart from the usual custom of e1ecting a junior and will pick its lead CT from one of the following: Ander- son, right guards .Eck1ey. right end; Mueller, fallback; STilley, tackle and guard.
 The other varsity men vho will be available next fall are Gf1Iies, right tackle: Miller. left guard and Shiver- sophomores and it. would Joe very sun- usual to elect a second year man to lead the eleven.
 1 Cornell will suffer heavily by grad uatfon. The going of Barrett will be very serious. The coaches cannot hope to find his equal in years and will have to seek to make up by great CT aIl-around team strength what 1 they lose in the departure of this great football genius. He has done more for Cornell football than any man in the history of athletics at Ithaca and largely through his own brilliant playing has the team gone through without defeat. Collins, Cool and Shelton will also be greatly missed as each was a topliner in the position he l played for the last two years. \ The Cornell Undergraduate body and alumni are pleased with the pres ent coaching system, and the Ithacans | will stand absolutely pat on it.. Sug l gestions that Yale has been negotiat- 1 ing. with pr. Albert H. Sharpe are not taken seriously. It is not believed that the New Haven authorities knowing Sharpe has four more years to serve Cornell under his present contract, will attempt to secure him to coach their eleven.
 Coaches and others are. fairly well satisfied with the schedule and many of the games played this year will be I repeated in another year. Cornell is confident Harvard will invite her to play again in the Stadium, and the usual games with Michigan and Penn 1sylvania will be arranged. The Michi-
 gan game next fall sEilI be played in
 Ithaca.

CHAMPION ABERG
 THROWS DR. ROLLER

New York, Dec.g s-Champion Aberg met the first of the topnotch- CTS in a finish match in the interna- tional tournament at Manhattan Opera House last night. pr. B. F. Roller was his opponent, and the match was full of spectacular and brilliant work. Aberg won after a hard struggle, lasting an hour and four minutes.
 The champion, as is his custom. set the pace from the start, and was the aggressor throughout. His tire1ess energy and herculean strength enabled him to keep actively at work every minute of the bout. In the science of. the game, Roller was the equal of the champion, but the medico-ath- Iete frequently was compelled to spar for wind.
 Roller put the head in cnancery lock on Aberg several times, but lacked the power to force the cham pion's shoulders to the mat

 Much depends upon the selection of the Board of Directors, for upon them will fall sthe burden of carrying the Red and.

Any athlete in the future who wishes to play summer ball may do so after the college authorities have investigated the condit ons and found there is no chance of professionalism being charged.
 Charley Herzog is as popular as the measles with Cincinnati ~ players Heinie Groh, the Red infielder, is the latest to throw the hammer in Her zog's direction. He declares he will not play in Cincinnati if Aerzog con- tinues as manager. So there may be some truth in the rumor that Evers is to ke traded by the Braves for Her zog.

WON'T PROTEST MCCORMICK.

Although the snowfall makes the outlook doubtful for a football game between the Remington-Arms and Washington GIees next Sunday the managers are still talking about ar arrangements. Manager Healyf of the Arms says he is willing to give the GIees half the receipts if they will play the game here instead of at Savin Rock. It is doubtful if Manager Co., den of the G1ees will agree to this, however. He is already making plans to handle the crowd and says there will be seats for 5000.
 The brass apparatus which 1cCor- mick of the Arms wears to protect his injured wrist, has caused some comment in New Haven.
