REFORMS
AMONG COLLEGES

State College, Pa, Nov. 5.-Athletics IN
Pennsylvania colleges are likely to be
overhauled as the result of action being
taken here today by committee of the
Pennsylvania College Presidents Associa-
ton. The committee outlined cleanup,
which includes the offering of financial
inducements to high school athletes In
return for their services on the college
athletic teams. Rigid enforcement Of the
one year resident rule, sometimes called
the college migratory rule, was recon-
mended.
Helping the star athlete through college
by giving him room and board was frown-
ed upon as the equivalent of paying him
money, or professionalism. It'was voted
that steps would be taken at once to stop
this practice. 90

FORDHAM WILL BE
MINUS ITS CAPTAIN

New York, Nov. 5.-Although there was
no game at Fordham Saturday, the team
that will meet Georgetown next Tuesday
in the annual Election Day tussle at
Fordham Field was by no means idle
The entire attention of the squad was
devoted to giving all the new plays a
thorough workout, and several of the
maneuvers which had been arranged Tor
Tuesdays game were cast aside when
they proved too open in nature for the
light Maroon team. No changes were
made in the lineup, and the team that
was picked on Thursday was left undis-
turbed all afternoon. Unless there is all
unexpected change, Fordham will meet
Georgetown minus a captain, Jack Conk-
lin having been transferred to the scrub
since his injury last week. AS an the
other players appear in fine shape, Gar
gan is unwilling to slow up his attack,
even 4 he must bench his leader.
The coaches sprang a big surprise when
it was announced that a last scrimma.,e
would be held this morning. It Is the first
time in the history Of Fordham that a
Maroon team has practiced on the day
of rest"

FACULTY DEALS HARD
BLOW TO PENN FIVE

Philadelphia, Nov. 5.-The faculty COM
mittee on athletics at Penn has struck
at Lon Jourdet and his intercollegiate
championship basketball team, declaring
Lou Martin, an all-collegiate forward OF
last season, ineligible on account of
studies.
Last year Martin was the sensation
of the league. His floor work was little
short of miraculous, and his shooting
beyond comparison in collegiate circles.
In the battle against Princeton for the
league title. after the two teams had
finished the season in a tie for the
championship. Martin scored four goals,
all of which were of the stellar va
riety, and they were the only points
Tailed by the Red and Blue from scrim-
mage. Penn won the contest. 16 to a.
the other twelve points being gathered
by Capt. Eddie McNichol from the foul
line.
Martin may be able to remove his
conditions in time to play with the team
after the first of the year, but he will
not be available until that time. 1t will
be great blow to the championship
possibilities.
Coach Lon Jourdet stated that he
might shift Art Jefford, the lanky cen
ter, over to Martins place at forward
and try to discover another jump man.

LOCAL BILLIARDISTS
To PLAY GREENLEAF
Manager Cafritz to Reward Players
Making Best Showing.
By "LENo COLLINS.

Manager Morris Cafritz, Of the Grand
Central Palace. yesterday received q wire
from Ralph Greenleaf, the 17-year-old
pocket billiard wizard. who is to ap-
pear here in exhibitions later in the
month, stating that he would In all prob
ability be able to announce, within the
next two or three days, the exact dates
on which he will make his appearance.
Arrangements have practically been
completed with one Of the local construc-
ton firms for the erection Of stands that
will provide ample accommodations for
the large galleries that no doubt will at
tend the matinee and evening matches
between Greenleaf and local GUESTS.
As an inducement to bring out the very
best pocket billiardists in the city to try
conclusions with the youthful marvel,
Manager Carfritz is seriously thinking
OF staging an elimination tournament
prior to Greenleafs arrival In the city
and Offering a substantial purse to the two
players who make the best showing

Greenleaf will be accompanied to this
city by his father, who acts in the ca
pacity of his manager.

Probably the most extraordinary game
ever played was Thorpe versus Harvard.
One man beat eleven. One often sees that
superlatfve statement in print regarding

kicked four goals from varying distances
and at diverse angles. He made most of
the crucial tackles, and repeatedly
smashed through the line like a batter

the Penn eleven had his hands on him,
