GOLFERS IN TRENCHES.
English and French Champions Now

NEW YORK, November 30.-Golf is
more than holding its own with other
sports with regard to the number of
players that have gone to the front.
The annual meeting of the association

The local colleges undoubtedly will
meet stronger foot ball teams in 1916
than they did during the season just
ended. In talking about the posi- bill
tiles Of schedules for next year, repre-
sentatives of the several institutions
state emphatically that they are going
to look for greater fields to conquer.
Georgetown. perhaps, played the most
difficult schedule last season that any
institution here ever attempted, but it
seems to be the intention to arrange
more big games for another year.
Negotiations have been carried on es-
pecially with the University of Pitts
burgh, one of the strongest combna
tons in the country. and likely to be
just powerful in another season.
Catholic University viii search for
wider field in which to display its
power The Brooklanders, had they had
a better schedule during the season
just ended. undoubtedly would have
gone through the year with an even
more creditable record. Nothing has,
been given out yet as to the specific
intentions of the Brooklanders for
their 1916 schedule, but work on it was
begun some time ago. and strong
efforts are being made to include a
number of representative elevcns.
Everybody is familiar with the fact
that attempts have been made to ar
range for a game here with the Univer-
s!ty of Virginia. but even if Virginia is
, not met the proba bilities that some
other strong south Atlantic elevens will
be listed, provided suitable arrangements
can be made.
Gallaudet is likely to play about the
same kind of a schedule that il did last
fall. The Kendall Greeners could hardy
afford to meet many stronger elevens, as
/, in the list Of their opponents were some
of the best in the section.
The Maryland Aggies intend branching
out considerably Negotiations now are
being carried or for games with two
northern schools. and there is some pos
sibility of one being scheduled with the
North Carolina Agricultural and Me-
chanical College. The Farmers have been
gradually developing in foot ball for the
last two or three years with the growth
of the school in other phases and they
feel they can afford to meet larger
/ institutions than they have hitherto
faced.
On the all-eastern elevens that have
been picked Oliphant of West Point has
hardly received mention Just why that
is seems hard to tell. as he undoubtedly
has made a record this year which en-
titles him to considerable credit. Oil

HAUCHTON FOOT BALL
SYSTEM IS POPULAR
Wisconsin May Engage One of His
Former Players as
Coach.

NEW YORK, November 3o.-With the
great success of the Haughton system
of coaching at Harvard follows the
surprising desire of some of the west
ern colleges. to introduce Harvard
methods next season. Negotiations al
ready are under way by influential
alumni of Wisconsin University to en-
gage Eddie Mahan, this years Grim
son captain, or Charley Brickley, last
years captain. to coach the Wisconsin
eleven next season. Western foot ball
has for several seasons been considered
by western critics as equal and even
superior to the best in the east. but the
continued success of Harvard under
Haughton has won many of them over
in favor of eastern foot ball.
Wisconsin this season was coached
by W. j. Juneau, former Wisconsin
star. and although the team has been
fairly successful under the graduate
coach system the Wisconsin alumni
want an eleven to sweep the western
conference. Brickley coached at Johns
Hopkins University this season. and it
is believed he would accept western
offer. Mahan. SO his friends have
stated, did not want to become coach
next season. a S he had planned to go
into business after graduation. 1t is be
lieved, however, that big offer would
cause him to change his mind.

Feds Trust Hermann.

"OrganiZed ball, of course. will pay
great deal of attention to anything Mr..
Hermann says or does. If he outlines
plans of a peace at the December gath
ering he will be gladly heard by both
the National and American leagues.
And, there is the kernel of the nut, the
whole thing simmered down. the Fed
eral League is quite willing to let him
present it's ideas and is dead anxious
to trust him for a square deal. There
are reasons. For instance:
"Cincinnati is a one-club town, and
has not been bothered by the actual
presence of Federal competition. The
president Of team in a one-club town
would not be swayed by prejudice or
stung by the memory Of his losses as
might be the case with any magnate

lent competition. Mr.. Hermann, since

League leaders talk, and has had time
to weigh all their arguments. He Is
in a position to look at both sides OF
the case with far more equanimity
than any other magnate In the three

Personality of Coach a Factor.

While the Haugbton method OF foot
ball instruction has had much to do
with his success as coach. Haughton's
personality and his manner of getting
the best out of his players and in keep
ing perfect harmony is a big figure in
his success. Not only that, but he has
been exceedingly fortunate in sur
rounding himself with advisers of un-
usual ability, Reggie" Brown being
an aid of remarkable foot ball knowl-
edge.
The Haughton system has been a
great success at Harvard. In eight
years Haughton has coached teams
which have defeated Yale five times,
played two ties and were defeated only
once by the Blue. The Yale game is
taken as criterion because it is the
climax of the Crimson's season.

The fire was i'm the attic and
as there was no draft it spread
very slowly. Holes were cut i'm

sin of the fire is unknown but it
probably caught either from a

somewhat and some of the plas-

damage was slight and the loss
is entirely covered by insurance.
