TIGERS GET GOOD START
Princeton Basketball Team Defeats Manhattan Five. 32 to 20.

Princeton, N. J., Dec. 7.-Prince- ton opened it's basketball season rath- CT auspiciously here last night by winning from the Manhattan college five 32 to 20. The Tigers margin of superiority was not so great during the first half, as they had only a two- point lead at the conclusion. They came into their own during the sec ond half, however, and soon amassed a comfortable lead
 Princeton followers feel a little more hopeful over the chances for maintaining 8 respectable position in the intercollegiate league as a result of the contest. The Manhattan team was frankly feared, but Princeton was able to play a brand of basketball far beyond expectations. Parmale and Captain Haas were the consistent players for Princeton while the two Houlihan brothers excelled for Man. haitian.

PREFERS AIR TO RING.
Carpenter Knows Nothing of Fur
 Iough For Willard Battle.

Paris, Dec. 7.-The personal de- sire of Georges Carpenter, the French aviator and champion heavyweight pugilist of Europe, is to remain with the French Flying Corps at the front, a desire he has expressed each time an offer from the United States to ar range a bout for him has been re- ceived. The report that he has been given a furlough for a match in New York with Jess Willard is at least premature.
 From the reports received here it appears that Carpenter, by boxing in the United States could contribute ap- preciably to the war relief funds, and his manager, Francois Descamps, said yesterday that Carpenter might go there provided he received permission. Thus far, however, no definite propo- sition for a bout between Carpenter and Willard has been received here.
 Carpenter, who is in Paris on a few days leave of absence, was seen today, and appeared to be in excellent condition. Carpenter said he was not thinking at present about boxing, but his pugilistic business was always in the hands of Descamps, his teacher from the age of fourteen and his man. ager during all his boxing career. Fly ing, he added, had in no way slowed him up, and life at the front had been excellent training for him.

CURTIN LAUDS GILR0Y
Local Boy, Assistant Manager of Georgetown Football Has Warm Words of Praise for Player.

William F. Curtain of this city, un- der whose capable ability as assistant manager of the Georgetown University football eleven recently completed one of the most successful seasons in the history of the institution, in let ter to a local friend, pays high tribute to John R. Gilroy a mem be ( of the team, and regarded by many as the premier football player of the country today. In his laudation of Gilroy, MT. Curtain points out that the player has lead the country in points scored having piled up 147 with '18 touchdowns and 37 goals aft CT touchdowns. The nearest rival to Gilroy in this respect was OliphaIt the Army star who scored 124 points.
 With these figures as base, MT. Curtain feels that Gilroy has easily earned place on the mythical All American eleven for 1916. Such ex- cellent authorities of the game as Coach Frank Cavanaugh of Dart mouth and Tom Thorpe football ex- pert for one of the metropolitan dailies have in their selection of such a team, given Mr. Gilroy first choice for one of the halfback positions.

GATES ELECTED CAPTAIN
Brilliant Tackle of 1916 Eleven to Lead Team Next ScaSOn-JOncS and Staff Will Return to Coach.

New Haven Dec 7.-Yale's foot ball captain next year will be Arte- mus Lamb Gates. His selection was made last night at the annual banquet rendered to the eleven at the Hotel Taft by the football association. The sixteen players who figured in either the games against Harvard and Princeton were entitled to vote ana the choice was announced as unanl- nous, in accordance with Yale cus- tom. Reports were current, however, on the campus that George Clark Moseley of Highland Park, Ill.,, end rush for two seasons had received some of the ballots.
 Before the meeting Clinton Ruther- ford Black, captain the past season. stated that he desired not to be con- sidered a candidate because of uncer- tainty regarding his plans for next season. He and Moseley are mem bers of the senior class of Sheffield Scientific School and are contemplat- ing extending the three-year course into the four-year course of that de- partment and returning to the eleven next fall Gates election has been expected for several days. He played end rush last year and started the season which has just closed i'll the same position, but was moved to tackle in mid-seaSon because of the lack of the strong material for the place.
 He had played tackle on the Yale freshman eleven two years ago and on the eleven of the Hotchkiss school, Lakeville, where he prepared for Yale. Gates brilliant tacl1ling and following the ball was a feature of both the Yale games against Princeton and Harvard the past fall.
 His recovery of the ball fum bled by Harry Legore of Yale gave his team mates the. oval only eight yards from the Harvard goal and paved the path for the Yale touchdown which followed directly, winning the game for the Ellis. He is 20 years old, weighs 180 pounds, and is 6 feet tall. His home is in Clinton, Iowa. He is a mem Der of the junior class of the academic department.
 Under the new Yale athletic regime which has placed control of affairs in the hands of an athletic council, Gates will not have the selection of coaches and it is expected that the staff which guided Yale to victories over Colgate, Lehigh, Virginia, V ash ington and Jefferson, Princeton and Harvard during the past fall, will be again selected as the resident staff. It it certain that Tad Jones will again head the coaching department.

BARNEY'S GOAT LOST.
Dreyfuss Incensed by Other Magnates
 Restless Brand of Talk.

Pittsburgh, Dec. 7.-President John K. Tener. of the National league and Pres'dent Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburgh club had 8 meeting yester- day. Last night Dreyfuss bitterly re- sented the inaction of the National commission relating to the practice of certain magnates and managers stat ing m the newspapers that they would like to have certain players Dreyfuss says 1t IS done to make the players restless. He particularly mentioned John McGraw In his attitude to Al Mamaux and President Weeghman of Chicago in saying he wanted some of the Cardinals.
 Dreyfuss wants the commission to penalize any owner or manager of n team who will publicly state that he would like any player that is under contract to another club. He assert ed he had never been guilty of that kind of thing.

New York, Dec. 7.-Another effort will be made by the Giants to coax lilly Shafer, former third baseman, out of retirement. John Foster an- nounced yesterday that McGraw in tends to give Shafer another invita- ton to rejoin the team
 THe grind of playing every day be- came Very tiresome to lilly in 1913, and McGraw will offer him a job as utility inf1elder. With Zimmerman.

 The patterns for the Giant 1917 un- forms were decided upon yesterday. The club will return to the violet uni forms worn in 1913.
 The Giants yesterday signed, Sterl- ing S. Stryker, a New Jersey semi professional, who pitched a lot of win ming ball around Atlantic Highlands last summer. The club offered to take him south last fall, but he was not signed to contract until yesterday.

PERCY LIKES NUMBERING
Haughton Favors Plan at Harvard But Football Committee Continues to Oppose Movement.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 7-Now that it is stated the majority of the foot ball committee favors making the numbering of players compulsory. in- stead of merely advising It. it de- velops that P. D. Haughton has been in favor of mum bering the Harvard players for more than 8 year, but has been overruled by the Harvard foot ball committee, which has supervision of this branch of Harvard sport.
 Haughton might have succeeded in having the players numbered if he cared to make it a personal issue, but he did not think it worth while the trouble to fight about. The football committee is expected to continue it's opposition to numbers, and Harvard players will wear the tags only in case the rules committee insists Members of the football committee point out that numbers failed to enable it to be generally known just who made the Yale touchdown against Harvard,
 Harvards football committee and Haughton as well. favor the deter imitation of the length of a football period by the number of plays rather than by time. From sources close to the committee comes the informa- tion that the Harvard Yale Princeton games next year will be played on relatively the game Saturdays as this year, despite talk of shifting of dates from year to year in order to dis tribute the weeks rest between biz games
