fully appointed afternoon receptions

The afternoon was an ideal fall one,
the atmosphere was just cool enough
to fill one with its vim and vigor, and
the DENIES home was indeed a beauti-
full spot, with its woodland decora-
tions. Great festoons of autumn vines
with red and yellow berries were
banked gracefully over the mantels
and openings. A pretty profusion of
yellow chrysanthemums lent a charm
ing note to the scheme of decoration,
with here and there pot plants and
ferns.

and Mrs. J. w. Potter, who introduced

PRINCETON DENIES
 RUMOR OF CHARGES
Report That Yale Tried to Have Tigers Disqualified, Branded as Z FaIse-BasebaH Men Involved.

No charge of professionalism yasl made against any Princeton athlete at the recent conference in New York."l This was the reply made by Dean Mc- Clenahan about a rumor to the effectl that Yale had presented evidence ' the conference which if substantiate' would have made imperative the dts. qualification as professionals of least four prominent Princeton ath- letes. Dean McClenahan insisted on making it perfectly plain that Prince. ton wanted to deny the truth of the rumor officially and insisted that 1t was made out of whole cloth.
 All four of the athletes whose names were mentioned in the rumor are baseball players and couple ol them also are prominent in anothcf' sport. The disqualification of Nhe quartet would make just about aS bi,1 gap in the Princeton nine nexa spring as the recent upheaval bid3 fair to make at Yale. Fl
 Dean McClenahan's categorical de nial shows that if Yale has any evi{ dence against Princeton athletes
 was deemed wise not to present II the recent conference at the s1 al Club in New York. As that con ference was designed to bring ih three participants, Harvard, Yale an Princeton, even closer together thd they were before, it obviously was n the place for one of the three to nrs sent formal charges against either the others Such an action undon
 edly would have more harm than goTy and if Yale ready has any proof fn will convict Princeton athletes or W fessionalism it probably VIII brought forth at some other time al in some other way.

 Perhaps what led more than any thing else to the success of Harvard's < rushing game was the ever-present threat of Mahan in his kicking posi- tion.''
 He goes on to describe how from this formation Harvard threatened to

kick, run the ends, forward pass, or send the backs. He continues:
 '"It seemed to me that in both the Princeton and Yale games Harvard S opponents acted as if they feared this play more than anything else, and no wonder, for during the last eight years Harvard has gained more ground through the medium of this play than any other.

golf. He was soon shown the impor- tance of keeping ones eyes focused upon the pill. "As important as it is in golf" he said, 'it is equally impor- tant in drop-kicking or place-hcklng. Most kicks that you see missed result from the kicker looking up share too soon. He is too anxious to see that ball cross the bar"
 The same thing is true in base- ball." said Sammy Strang, the ex- Giant now coaching the Army ball team ''I have studied both baseball and golf and the main faults of both are much alike-either from taking your eye off the ball or from starting your body before your arms get under way, Many a strikeout has resulted from the batsman taking his eye off the ball as it rippled up toward the plate"

 A Theme for Dante.
 We notice that MT. John J. McGraw is planning an early trip to Cuba. His departure should contain at least one poigant memory. ..*
 A year ago this winter McGraw and Matty arranged for the same trip. Two days before they started they were discussing certain plans in the lobby of the Imperial hotel. While the discussion was under way a certain leading official of the Bethlehem Steel company came by. This conver- ss.tion followed:
 Bethlehem Official-"Hello, Mac; hello, Matty.''
 McGraw and Matty-"Hello, Joe"
 McGraw-"Well, Joe, any inside stuff from the market that might even up for that world series money we missed this fall?"
 Bethlehem Official-"Sure, I've got something that has all the world series ever played beaten to death"
 Mac and Matty Gin chorus) Spill it quick" ..
 Bethlehem Official - Bethlehem Steel. Go to it."
 The next afternoon the same man 1an into McGraw again. Say Mac, " he said, 'T know you're in rush to get away and won't have any time to attend to outside business. But that Bethlehem Steel tip goes. Let me carry 500 shares for you, and then you forget about it. I'll tell you when to sell.''
 "Ill think it over," said McGraw Put he didn't. In the rush of leaving he forgot all about it. Bethlehem Steel was then selling at 40. Later on it went to 500. Possible profit for McGraw on the 500 shares-$280, 900.
 The one spoken word Alright" would have gathered in for the Giant leader as much money as he has made since coming to New York twelve vars ago. But it was never spoken. And later on his ball club buckled up and finished last; 1915 will never be written down as John J.'s luckiest year.
