COACH WANTS
 YALE TO RACE
 ON THE HUDSON

New Haven, Conn, Nov, 1.-The Yale rowing schedule for this year was announced today and is the long est schedule in the history of Yale rowing. It is founded on the idea of Coach Nickalls that the preliminary races above all things test the crew and make it fit to meet the crews that participate in the final races
 In this connection it is interesting to note that Guy Nicka1ls has con- dded in the authorities of Yale row ing that he has no fear of the crews that race at Poukgkeepsie and would desire above all things to have his crew race there.
 In the schedule. which will subject only to the approval of the university authorities, Yale meets all the Eastern colleges on the water, cuHninating with the classic against Harvard at New London next June. The first race is with Columbia, on the Har- for one week from Friday, the even ing before the football game with Princeton. *
 In all, this year the Yale varsity will meet Columbia, Cornell, Prince ton, Harvard and Pennsylvania and the other crews, that take part in the American Henley. Besides the Yale Colum bia race, which takes place Nov. 12, the races in which Yale will take part through the remainder of the year are: April 23 Pennsylvania at Philadelphia; May Il, Yale second and freshmen crews in the American Hen ley at Schuylkil1; May Cornell and Princeton on Lake Cayuea; June 23, Harvard at New London.
 These races, combined with the Co., lunnbia race next Week, make up the most imposing schedule Yale has had since rowing came in at Yale, and rowing is the oldest sport here.

 Wallace is of scoth- descent, and it is rumored that he comes from the same clan that gave Scotland it's greatest national hero, Sir William Wallace, back in the fourteenth cen tury. He began playing professional ball twenty years ago, and in -1896 joined the Cleveland club of the Ma tionaI League. He remained in the Forest City until 1899, when Frank D. Robinson transferred the best of the Cleveland bunch to St. Louis. Rhody went along with Pat Tebeau's crowd which included Old Cy Youngs Jesse Burkett, Ed McKean and other prominent players. John McGraWs TWiIbert Robinson and Pat Donovan later became teammates of Wallace in St. Louis. When the American Lea gue began its player raids, MoGraw, Robinson, Mike DonIin, Louis CFiger, Cy Young and others jumped to the new circuit Bobby held out for a. season against the wiIes of Ban John sons sirens, but in 1902, when the new major put a club in the Mound City, he was won over by the b4aT- dishments of Jim -NIcA1eer, and cast in his fortunes with the Browns He was not Salone, for Powell, Harper, Sudhoff, Burkett, Padden and Heid- rick all transferred their allegiance from the Cards to the Browns.

 Since then St. Louis has been a contestant for cellar honors of. the American League most of the time, but if the Browns had had a few more men as good as Wallace they might have brought home the bacon Although doomed to spend most of his long career with weak clubs, Wal lace was generally recognized as one of the greatest short stops of the game. His powerful and deadly arm was long the terror of opposing bat ters and one of the seven wonders of baseball. From the first Wallace understood that his wing was his for tune, and he nursed it like a baby with the result that it was stillin the soup bones of his contemporaries had sent them back to the bushes Wallace managed the Browns in 1911 and a part of 1912 but the team was bopeless,- and in 1911 it's percentage was the lowest in history.

TOM SHELVIN
 TEACHES YALE
 SIMPLE PLAYS

New Haven, Nov. 4-With Yale's new board of strategy in full charge, headed by Chief Strategist Tom Shev- lin, Yale yesterday took up football overlooked since Colgate wrecked Yale. Shevlin and his fellow directors believe it tip-top policy for the eleven to thoroughly master small number of effective comparatively simple plays and catapult them against the Brown eleven next Sat urday.
 Altogether the varsity spent more than two hours in the bowl, all but , minutes being devoted to coaching in rudimentary tackling and handling the ball, supplemented with dummy laboratory demonstrations of run ming through Harvard and Princeton formations. HowaTd Baldbridge and Otis Guernsey were in the signal re- hearsal at left tackle and fullback respectively and both are promised for part of Saturdays game. Cupid" Black is still on the sidelines and there is doubt of his playing before the Princeton game.
 t Another boost to the eleven's chances was given when Bob Bing- ham was formally declared by the faculty to be freed from the scholar ship restrictions which have kept him on the sidelines all the fall. He was placed at left halfback, displacing Waite. Howell Van Nostrand again ran the eleven c1everIy and the coaches have stopped looking for a satisfactory quarterback since his ad- vent. Bingham's quarterback play at Exeter two years ago was a fea- ture of the interschoIastic season. He was removed to fu1Iback on the Yale freshmen eleven last fall and was one of the most consistent scorers of the backfield.
 rested but are slated to begin the Brown game at end. One of the coaches said that if yesterdays i'm provement continues Yale will have an irresistible eleven on the gridiron by next week Saturday, when Prince ton is scheduled to come here

 Lent and White have not been able to secure a coach as yet. Because of the success of Billy Lush, last years coach, and his popularity among the players and students. Manager Len has offered hina the job. Lush is now resident coach at Fordham. Manage Lent and Lush have not yet been able - come to a financial agreement.

Brickley, who is declared to be a pro- fessional baseball player. Brickley, who is said to be a bright student, does not have to play football unless he wishes, the Trinity officials declare They say he was not broughtutO the college just for gridiron purposes. But it is claimed that a Trinity graduate got him job as night watchnan in bank in Hartford.
 It is said that Princeton will rely on kicking game to beat Harvard on Saturday. The Tigers have two of the best kickers in this section in Law and Driggs and they may be able to out distance Capt. Mahan of Harvard.
 Things are in a bad way at Penn sylvania a well as at Yale. HOwa9 Berry, one of the best players on the eleven, handed in his uniform yesteF- day after he had refused to get into the scrimmage. He claims he has not been treated fairly by the coaches. Berry says he promised he could play fulIback but in the early games he was kept the sideIines. The coaehes> declare Berry does not take the game seriously and refuses to at tend properly to his work.
 Battling Levinsky will leave hiH country estate in Stratford Saturday just long enough to go to Brooklyn. where he will fight Tom McCarty be- fore the Broadway Sporting club.
 Capt. Wilson of Yale has a brother trying for the Princeton eleven. So far he has just been trying. He has been una b1e to beat Highly and Brown for the end positions.

TEACHER SUES GREEK SCHOOL
Woman Educator Asks $4,000 Damages
for ALLEGED Libel.

Miss Electra Zalouhou. Of Athens,
who has a wide reputation In Greece as
an educator, has filed suit against the
Greek-American Institute, of 909 Eagle
Avenue, The Bronx, a school for chill
dren of Greek parentage, for 10000
damages for ALLEGED libel. Miss Zalou-
hou came here a year ago 10 direct the
school. and continued in that capacity
until June. Her complaint is that the
institute caused the publication in a
Greek newspaper Of this city Of story
which intimated that she was inefficient
and neglectful and had treated the par
ents of the pupils in "contemptous
and disdainful" manner.
The suit is the outgrowth OF quar-
rel between Miss Zalouhou and the ad
ministrative council of the school. b.
d. Damj ountjis, secretary of the coun-
Gil, wrote a letter, in which he charged
the woman educator with causing the
publication of matters hurtful to the
school. lie also said that the reasons
which she gave for her dismissal were
false and groundless."

MRS. GAIT FACING
FLORAL AVALANCH
All Latin-Americans May Send
Flowers TO Wedding-Bride's
Cake Also Problem.


Washington, Nov. 2S.-Should the
Latin-American diplomats, the heads
of embassies and legations in Wash
ington carry out their intention Of
sending flowers with their letters Of
good wishes TO Mrs. Norman Gait on
her wedding day, an embarrassing situa-
tion will arise. This graceful mode OF
recognition was carried out when Miss
Jessie Woodrow Wilson was married to
Francis B. Sayre, and the White House
was gravely put to it to know just how
to dispose of the pieces to the best eff
feet
The huge piece sent to Mrs. Sayre by
the President of Ecuador, through his
minister here. representing the highest
volcanic mountain in that country,
would take up at least one-fourth the
floor space in Mrs. Galt's drawing
room, and as there are nearly twenty
ministers and ambassadors from these
Spanish speaking countries, the grand
floral effect may be imagined.
One of the Latin-Amerlcan ministers
reiterated to-day his determination TO
/ follow instructions and send flowers.
The generosity of the people Of his
country is so well known that the set
piece" is likely to contain few hun
bred orchids and other rare tropical
lowers.
Another embarrassment may arise
from the determination of nearly
hundred bakers in the country to
struggle for the honor of furnishing
the brides cake. If the supply is TO
keep pace with the demand, the Presi-
dent may accept all the cakes. for there
are already hundreds of young girls
throughout the United States who are
longing TO have a few crumbs to dream
on.
1t is probable that both the flowers
and cakes will be sent to the White
House, instead of to the home of Mrs.
Gait, for the ethics of American ETH
ouette have been changed TO meet the
emergency, and many of the gifts in
tended for Mrs. Gait are being deliv-
cred at the White House. Hospitals
will gladly receive the surfeit OF flow
ers, but the cake Is a different propo-
sition.
Not wishing to send the usual gifts
of cut glass and silver, Mrs. Galt's ad-
mirers are sorely troubled TO select
something else suitable. Oriental
rugs, rare old lace, paintings and valu-
able curios are finding places on the
list.
Members of the Presidents Cabinet
and their wives will not combine in
sending a gift to Mrs. Gait, but each
family will select something to its own
liking. One is said to have selected
set of the standard poets beautifully
bound and illustrated, while another is
rummaging picture and book stores
and collectors shops for something of
historic interest pertaining to some
earlier President of the United States.

because the Writ reorganization gives
accommodation for a hundred more
classes than are now on register. We
understand that New York now sees
the error Of its ways in regard 10 this
matter Of erecting large school build
ings. but at the time that Public School
81 was put up IL had not seen the light.
And Mr. Metcalfe did not see TT 10 tell
the public that the l2S-class school was
two schools.
A 96-Class School.
Now. 10 take UP school with ninety
six classes. for example. p. S. 40, The
Bronx. Before Mr.. Writ was asked to
reorganize it that school had ninety
six classes In ffty-seven classrooms
and two workshops Here is what Mr..
Writ said about il in his report:
There is a satisfactory play yard and
a small gymnasium. The present com
bination classroom and auditorium can
not be used for auditorium purposes
and should be given permanent parti-
tions for classrooms. Land should be
purchased adjoining the present lot
and an annex should be constructed
containing an auditorium, gymnasium,
swimming pool, two workshops and
library. Ninety -sIA GLASSES may lHtH
be satisfactorily accommodated by US
ing forty-eight rooms for regular class
work and the remaining nine class
rooms and four workshops for special
work"
This Is a quotation from Mr. Wirt's
report" but for some reason Mr. Met
calfe did not use it in describing a
ninety-six-class school.
An S4-Class School.
Suppose we now consider a school
for which eighty-four classes are rec
commended by Mr.. Writ, for example,
p. S. III, Manhattan. At the time of
Mr.. Wirt's report this school had sew
enty-three classes in sixty-four regular
classrooms. Here is what he said
about il: up. S. III has fine play yard
and gymnasium. A swimming pool can
be easily constructed under one Of the
outdoor play yards. Six rooms on the
second floor should be used as a per-
manent auditorium. Permanent parti-
tons should be placed in the audi
torium on the fourth floor. OF the re-
naming fifty-eight classrooms, forty.
two should be used for regular class
rooms, four for science laboratories,
two for drawing studios, nine for shops
and one for music. Eighty-four regu-
lar classes may be accommodated, which
is eleven more than are now regis
tered
In other words, of the twelve schools
for which Mr. Writ has recommended
more than seventy-two classes, four are
