TAD is HERO NOW
of Jones Responsible
for Comeback of Yale.
His Handling of Men the Secret
of This Years Success.
BY JACK VEIOCK

New York, Dec. 6.-Footbal's Hall
of Fame has a newcomer. The aged
guardian of the sacred hall was
aroused by lusty rapping just as the
twilight shadows were stretching their
purple lengths across the Yale Bowl at
New Haven on November rs. and Tad
Jones, Yale's coach, demanded admit
tance.
Tad Jones, the new miracle man of
the gridiron, stood there in all of his
glory and the portals welcomed MIN
enter, for Jones stands out today as
the newest of the wonder workers in
football, and the whole football world
is singing his praises.
Jones System Simple.
Ya1e's victory over Harvard was the
grand climax of a season of hard
work Her earlier victory over the
Princeton Tiger was the signal for the
birth of hopes at Yale that the Bull
dogs might trample their ancient
Cambridge foemen in the dust. And
Yale succeeded. Her success is halo
around the curly head of Jones.
+ When Jones played football at Yale
he was a great quarterback. He~was
also a member of winning eleVens
there and when he returned to Yale
this year he brought the old-time con-
fidence and fighting spirit back with
him. Jones system is not unlike that
of any other Goa en-. It is not an elabor-
ate system such as that built up by
Percy Haughton at Harvard, but IL got
results just the same.
Naturally Jones knows football, and
a lot of it. But Jones also knows
how to handle men. One of his play
ers said of him:
.'Playing for Tad Jones, you will
ingly give him all you've got. You
don't know why You just do it."
Secret of His Success.
And this is the real secret of Yale's
comeback: her wonderf-1 show of
fighting spirit; her ability to roll back
the Tiger and then to turn on her
ancient foe and win one of the great
est football games in recent years.
Yale has an eleven lis year which
was looked upon IS weak sister when
the season opened, and VIII n Brown
beat her, Yale hopes we're darkened.
But Tad Jones urged his athletes on
to battle, and they fought like demons
for him.
Jones is now 90 Y ears old. He was
born in Excello, Ohio, and after fin
ishing his preparatory work at Phil
lips- Exeter he entere Yale with his
brother Howard. BdS ball ability
gained both brothers a welcome at
Yale When the two commenced play
ing football, Tad shoH ed great ability
as a quarterback, but injuries kept
him out his first year, the freshman
RI lie not being in force then.
Experienced Coach.
Jones's accomplishments at Yale as
a football player are history; he was
one of the greatest. His experience as
a coach covers several smaller col
Ieges. including Syracuse and Exeter,
and when he received the call to re-
turn to Yale he came back with the
old bulldog spirit plus the knowledge
of handling men. This knowledge, es-
sential in the extreme to every foot
ball coach who gets results. has been
Jones's one big asset.

A XMAS TURKEY SHOOT
Topeka Gun Club Will Stage Another
"Meat' Producer Soon.

The Thanksgiving turkey shoot of
the Topeka Gun club was so success
full and the general public showed SO
much interest in it that the club al
ready has made plans to hold a bigger
and better shoot of the same kind the
week before Christmas and details are
now being worked out Tuesday the
18th, will likely be chosen as the date
for the big affair.
Some of the nest scores that have
been made this year were turned in at
the regular weekly shoot Tuesday aft
ernoon and every man who faced the
traps went home satisfied with his
performance. The afternoon was an
ideal one for shooting, the atmosphere
being clear and, there was absolutely
no wind to trick the targets into doing
freak stunts. ]. T. Daddy Taylor
and A. B. Springer tied for the high
honor of the afternon, each breaking
80 out of a possible so.
However. every shooter got above
the 81 mark. and just to show that he
could hold his form Daddy Taylor
broke "a out of 15 after the regular
shoot was over. The scores for the
afternoon were: j. T. Taylor, 40; A.
r. Springer, 40; J. C. Stewart, As: j.

WOMEN BOOST FIGHT
Anne Morgan Helps to Arrange Pro-
posed Willard Carpenter Bout.

New York, Dec. 6.-The proposed
ten-round, no decision boxing bout
between Georges Carpenter, heavy
weight champion of Europe, and Jess
willard, the American champion. has
among it's sponsors Miss Anne Morgan
and Miss Elizabeth Marbury, it was
learned today. Miss Morgan is treas
urer of the American fund for the
French wounded, under the auspices
of which it is proposed to bring Car
pentier here. Miss Marbury. who is
also actively interested in the French
fund, said that her interest in the pro-
posed bout was solely to see that the
$4,000 which she hopes the fund
would receive from the proceeds was
properly handled.
Miss Anne Morgan and l willingly
consented several weeks ago when APP
reached on the subject to see that the
funds whether amounting to this sum
or more be forwarded to France for
the purpose intended Miss Marbury
is quoted as saying. Georges Car
pentier is badly needed at the front
these days for his duties are such that
his placed would be hard to fill. 1t
will take much effort if French off
Gals are finally prevailed upon to ex-
tend him leave, altho they may be
told that a few months here would
mean much for French women and
children"

EASY MEAT FOR JESS

George Carpenter, who, according
TO reports, has virtually BEN matched
to meet Jess Willard for the heavy
weight crown and to raise money for
french relief work, was born in Lens
France, in 1894. French pugilistic sta
tistics class him as a middleweight,
which indicate that Willard will have
quite an advantage over him even tho
the Kansas title holder is excessively
fat and far from the pink of condition
In fact, it is more than probable that
Willard will oversnad dow him in physi-
cal proportions much more than he
did Frank Moran.
However, Carpenter undoubtedly is
son.e scrapper. The records show that
he begins his ring career in 1907 and
that he continued actively in the fistic
game until the war broke out when
he answered Frances call to the col
ors- Among Carpenters most notable
achievements are his two knock out
victories over Bo-nbardier Wells and
the decision he got front Gunboa
Smith when the latter fouled him.
The French soIdier-pug won IS
fights during the years of 1912, 10
and IA, twelve Of them by the knock
out route. During that period he los.
only three battles, being defeated by
Joe Jeanette, Billy Papke and
Frank Keaus on referee decisions.
THEY ALL COME BACK.
1t is reported that Jack Johnson is
back in the United States. 1t was
inevitable that lie should return SOON
er or later. Those who have worn Il
crown and lost it never can forget the
country that gave it to them, nor can
they down the hope that they may
again live over some of the golden

THE GREATEST or ReApJusrERs

From the New York Evening Post.l
We do not see why there should
have been any stir In the senate over
the discovery that President Wilson
has completely reversed himself In the
matter Of the proposed child labor
law. Senator Borah was able to show
that Mr.. Wilson described this legis-
lation In bis Constitutional Govern
ment' as unconstitutional and "ob-
viously absurd extravaganza" carrying
the congressional power to regulate
commerce beyond the utmost bounda-
ries Of reasonable and honest infer
ence," and making 1t possible, II sus-
tanned, for congress to legislate over
every particular Of the Industrial or
ganizstion and action Of the country"
That, we must confess, has also been
the Evening Posts view. But the
Evening Post and Senator Borah are
old fogies, dating back to the time
when II was the custom to have fixed
beliefs and principles and stick to
them.
The senator has evidently not read
Mr.. Wilson's letter In explaining his
change of front on the tariff commits
sion--that v is only narrow man
whose NINA is stupidity closed to new
IDEAS, who does not alter his opinions.
BY this test Mr.. Wilson Is obviously
one Of the broadest minded men this
country has ever produced, for he has
changed bis mind to date on the initia-
tive, referendum, recall, woman suf-
frage, the tariff commission, tariffs for
revenue only, permanent diplomatic
service beyond politics, the merit sys-
TEN In the civil service, the proper
place Of Tammany Hall In the scheme
Of the universe, child labor Legislation,
preparedness, Bryan, continental ar
my-but why continued 1t Is a long
enough list to prove that Mr.. Wilson's
political views are not fossilized by
any fear OF Inconsistency.
