OTHER MAGNATEs
To Follow President lanes E.
Gaffney's Plan to Try to
Stop RoWdyism.

The letter written by President
James Z. Gaffney. of the Boston Ma
tional League club, to each player on
the Braves payroll informing them
that he will not permit any form OF
rowdyism by the members Of the club
next season has made marked inl-
preston among the other magnates OF
the senior league. It is probable that
the communication will be discussed
informally by the club owners at the
coming annual meeting and several
others are understood to favor similar
action In their own clubs.
There has been a marked improve
ment in the department Of the> big
league player on the diamond during
the last few years, but some OF the
magnates believe that there is still
room for betterment in this respect.
Professional baseball has not Travelled
a path OF roses in recent seasons ana
the club owners are earnest adyo-
Gates Of any move to increase It's pop
ularity. To conserve the keen COM
petitive spirit OF the game and yet
eliminate umpire batting, futile dis
putting Of decisions. loud repartee
among the players, similar abuses
and playing delays will be the sub
feet of general discussion at the meet
ing Of the league.

PRINCETON
Should Have Excellent Team
Next Season as 1t Suffers
Little by Graduation.

OF the four leading universities of
the East, Princeton appears to have
the best football prospects for 1916.
Coach Speedy" Rush will have an
excellent squad OF varsity and first
substitute material to open the Tig-
ers' next gridiron campaign. Prince
ton loses nine players out of squad
Of about forty by graduation: Harvard
sixteen out Of forty; Cornell sixteen
out OF thirty. and Yale thirteen out of
some thirty odd.
In actual points lost Cornell is q
heavy sufferer for 216 out of a total
score of 2S7 will be lost as result OF
the passing of close to half Of the
leading players and substitutes includ-
Ing Captain Barrett, who scored 1872
points for the Ithaca eleven this sea-
son. Harvard loses 107 points ou;
of 1914 including Captain Mahan. who
lead the squad in scoring with seven
ty-one points to his credit. Prince
ton will drop thirty-two points out OF
1856, Law being the heaviest scorer 70
be graduated. At Yale thirty-four
points will be lost by graduation. in
addition to fourteen by the 1915 bar
ring Of lie Gore. out Of total OF
eighty-three points.

lilo. members Of the athlete COM
mitteo' are considering a proposition
TO construct "A large building, along
tho tabernacle style. In which to play
basketball during the winter. The
plan In only being discussed by tho
officials aud nothing definite has rs yet
been done. According to the tentative
plans the building liz to be constructed
on tmnc part or tho athletic field, pre-,
mimably In the space between Com
iponcement hall and Eft cottage.
Tho sizc of the building has not
been considered but IL Ia thought that
building sixty by forty-flve feet would
suiilce. Tho feature that is worrying
the officials Ia the difficulty OF putting
n roof on such a large building without
using center supports. Only the use
Of big orders would permit such a,
construction and the pirchase Of suci,
tmberB would naturally mean al arge
outlay OF money. Only limited suni
could bo used In constructing such n
building M II would only DO tempor-
not deem 1t wlGc to spend large
sum for building that would have to

UP there viii not be any basketball as
no satisfactory arrangements can be
made TO practice and play In any other
place In tho city. except the armory.
The officials are gathering data con-
corning the cost Of putting up such D.
building and something definite Will
be known in few days. Some have.
suggested that q general contractor.
be employed and that he be assisted
by volunteers from the student body.
Such stop would reduce the cost TOT
