WANT TAD" JONES
TO COACH At YALE
Undergraduates Favor Former
Star Quarterback As Sue
cessor to Hinkey.

The undergraduate sentiment at Yale
is growing stronger every day in favor
OF the selection of Tad Jones as football
coach at New Haven next fall. Jones
popularity Is due to the fact that some
of the members OF the football squad
played under Jones at Exeter Academy
and at PawllnR School. II the new cap
tain. Cupid Black, has his say in the
matter, 1t Is believed that Jones will be
tho choice. As he played under tho for
mer Yale quarterback at both Paving
and Exeter.
Jones has had remarkable success at
Exeter and in each OF the last three
seasons that academy's old-ume riv6i,
Andover. has been overwhelmingly do
feated. Jones Is rated as one of Yale's
best quarterbacks, but his coaching cx-
perience at New Haven has been brief.
Before the football coach is appointed
a change In the athletic policy of that
institution which would reduce the
power OF the football captain and also
the influence Of the undergraduate
body
There Is a growing feeling among
Yale graduates that the policy Of max
ing the captain king does not work
out to the best interests of the differ
ent teams. With the appointment of a
new graduate committee Vance. Nc
Cormick. Brink Thorne. and John Kill
patrick. the suggested policy of re-
stricting the power of the football cap
tain may be adopted. In that event
1t is not likely that Jones would be
chosen head coach.
There is a strong sentiment among the
graduates in favor of an older man
than Jones. Much interest centers on
Al Sharpe. not only because he has
been successful with the Cornell eleven.
but because Sharpe. in his day. was a
wonderful athlete at Yale.

HAUGHTON OPPOSES
ALL.STAR ELEVENS
Harvard's Successful Coavn
Believes System Is Unfair to
Many Players.

BOSTON. Mass. Dec. s.-Percy
Haughton. coach of the Harvard eleven
and the first to develop what has come
to be known as the system" in foot
ball. is opposed to the haphazard Sc
lection Of all-American football teams.
The custom. which has grown with the
years. is now INDUCED in not only by
those who have definite knowledge OF
the caliber Of the men. but by many
who have only a slight knowledge of
football.
This, Haughton says. is unfair to both
the players and the public. It 10 his
contention that no man can be so well
qualified that he can select the eleven
best men in the country or even in
certain sections.
In speaking of the last season Haugh-
ton gives unstinted praise to Watson.
the Harvard Quarterback. who has been
generally ignored in the picking Of all
American teams. The first choice among
most of those who made selections was
Captain Barrett. of Cornell. but Haugh-
ton SAYS that Watson stands without q
peer this season.
Click. Of Princeton. says Haughton, is
the greatest defensive halfback Of the
season.

"Angel of American League" Compelled By Adverse
Circumstances to Quit .Game-Half Million
Needed to Swing Biggest Deal of Season.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. g.
Charles w. Somers will not be the
owner of the Cleveland American
League club when the season of 1916
opens. That was the one conclusive
decision reached after Ban johnson,
president Of the American League,
had held conferences with Owner
Somers, John e. Bruce, secretary Of
the national commission; A. v. Can
non, attorney for Mr.. Somers, and
representatives Of the bankers COM
mittee, who are now in control of
Mr.. Somers' financial affairs.
E. G. Barrow, president Of the In
ternational League, who was report
ed as representing Eastern capital
in the purchase Of the club, met with
President Johnson, but their con-
ference, it was stated, had nothing
to do with the Cleveland situation.
Reported prospective purchasers Of
the club. for which the price Is said to
be in the neighhorhood of a half mil
lion, are Harry Stevens, of New York;
James McGill, owner Of the Denver.
Western League Club. and Indiana polls
American Association Club; James r
McAleer. former part owner Of the Bos-
ton Americans. and local capitalists.
Three of the local capitalists when in
terviewed tonight said they had no in
tention OF buying. These men are

broker and former newspaper pro-
prietor.
President johnson intimated that he
and the men with whom he had con
ferred were OF the opinion that IT would
be best for all interests that the club
be sold
Efforts will be made to interest Cleve-
land capital, as It always has been the
aim of the American League to have all
Of its clubs owned bv local capital.

son. it is believed, will meet with no
trouble in Rnding a buyer.

ment had been reached at the confer
ence and that some definite decla alton
would be made within a week or ten

mary" said Mr.. johnson. II can say

"that do not know whether or not the
club will be sold If It is sold, all right. -
While Mr.. johnson was busily engaged

Bruce spent considerable time in en-
deavoring to ascertain what the local
sentiment was in regard to a transfer

of the ownership Of the Indians. The
consensus of opinion was that Cleve-
land is ripe for a change of owners and
his report Is believed to have influ-
cnced those active In the conference.
But even though 1t was agreed at the
conference that the club should he sold
such action must be ratified by the
bankers committee, of which Johr
Sherwin, of the First National Bank, II
the chairman.
Referring to the possible strengthen
ing of the Cleveland club, Mr.. johnson
said:
"A year aRo when the New York
club changed hands. the other clubs
came to the rescue and sold New York
High. Pipp. and Bauman at nominal
prices. Probably II there are any such
available players that Cleveland should
want the other club owners will helr
out 1ust as they did before. However

HOW MANY HOGS WILL. AN
ACRE CARRY?

One OF the most frequent ques-
tons asked III regard to grazing
is, How many hogs will an acre
carry - 1t is impossible to
answer such general question in
a very definite way. 1t can be
answered approximately in the
following way: +,
Hogs from eight to twelve
months old ought to average a
pound and half to two pounds
3 of gain per day during the fat
tening period. We know approx
imately the amount of food re-
quired to make this amount Of
gain and if we make Il guess Of
the yield, we can make am ap-
prOxlmate guess of the number
of hogs required to consume the
crop i'll a given time. A crop of
twenty-five bushels of corn with
the accompanying cow peas ought
to make four hundred pounds Of
pork. or be the equivalent of feed
for one hog for two hundred
days. If we want to consume
that amount in thirty days, it
would require seven hogs. If the
hogs are of mixed ages. including
pigs, it will carry an average of
ten to twelve hogs per acre. Pea
nuts would make a little more
pork per acre than corn, but when
the carbohydrates are added to
more nearly balance the ration,
the pigs will be maintained for as
long time on peanuts as the corn
will carry them. The same acre
age In sweet potatoes will carry
the hogs from one and one-half
to two times as long as an acre
OF corn, if the potatoes are sup
plemented with proper protein
bearing food. Therefore, on good
average land, one can carry from
ten to twleve head Of mixed hogs
per acre through the fattening
stage. On poor land the number
would be reduced. and on rich
and the number would be in
.reased.
The amount Of winter grazing
hat can be secured is very vari-
lble, being influenced very large
y by the amount of growing
Weather that prevails during the

With accompanying pigs can be

bundance of favorable growing
Weather, cattle may be required to
