YALE'S NEW COACHES
 DISCUSS SITUATION
"Tad'' Jones Says He Will Build Foot ball Eleven on SeIf-Sacrifice-
 Sweeney On Job.

New Haven, Feb. 12.-"Our plans for next Fall have not been formed yet,' said Tad Jones, Yale's new head football coach last night, in address, ing the candidates for the eleven next Fall But we can tell you now what we shall expect of you. We are go- ing to build this eleven up on self sacrifice, and the reward of your self sacrifice will be a chance to play in the Harvard and Princeton games. We are going to use in those games as many men as we need, no more. l have heard the question asked, Is the spirit of Yale football gone? l do not believe that it is.
 Self sacrifice on your part will mean training all the time. The members of the squad must keep on training or give up their suits. We are going to have a hard working and a hard-fghting team.'
 Michael Sweeney, general athletic advisor said:
 We are going to give you candi- dates harder work than you have ever had before. I believe that the human note in football is important, and for this reason we shall keep in close touch With every man who is trying tof IHe IedH. we are going to take better care of you candidates than you nave been taken care of before. We are going to start to build from the ground up, and we do not intend to start till we know where we are going"
 Clinton Black, captain of the eleven, stated that the squad would not be called out for several weeks, but he impressed upon the candidates that the season of 1916 began last night
 Walter Camp, Yale's veteran ad- visor. said that he felt sure of a suc- cessful season, and stated that a new deal in Yale football would be given.
 Jones and Sweeney arrived her yes terday and lost no time inviting the candidates to meet them

TIGERS COMMEND ACTION
Princeton Paper Thinks Eligibility Question Wisely Settled and Is Sorry For Yale.

Princeton, N. J., Feb. 12.-The Daily Princetonian commented edi- torially on 'The End of the Yale Eligibility Question: as follows:
 The Princetonian commends unre- servedly the straightforward and un- compromising action taken by Yale's Eligibility Committee in the unfor- tunate matter of the Yale athletes who broke the rules governing the playing of Summer baseball for ma terial profit. The action was taken in the face of strong opposition existing among undergraduates at New Ha- ven, and also, to certain extent at Cambridge and Princeton. While we heartily regret, for obvious reasons, that the men in question are not to face Prin ceton teams this year, we feel that Professor Corwins commit tee took a course which, by the verv fact of it's unpopularity at Yale and the attention which 1t has attracted in the newspapers, will serve as a wholesome example in university ath- letics.''

OLD GIANT LEADER
 WAS UP AGAINST IT
John B. Day Recalls a WOGful
 Wait Before First Game

John B. Day the first president of the New York Giants tells the follow ing story of one of the trying moments he experienced while at the helm guiding the destinies of that organiza- tion:
 The most uncomfortable afternoon I ever put in during the twelve years was president of the New York club was the afternoon of the first game played at the old Polo Grounds with the Nationals of Washington. The city was anxious for New York to be well represented in the baseball world and a crowd of pehaps 1000 turned out at this first game.
 The only seats were a few benches erected on the field by the Polo club, and most of the spectators stood up. I do not remember that there were any women present on that first day. They began to attend soon after we started, however.
 Manager Mutrie had his team out practicing some time before game time but tho Washington club was strangely missing. When it was time to start the game the Washington club had not l yet appeared. Manager Murtie got to- gether a club pick ups to play against our team, but the crowd broke 1 into an urroar when the saw the sub 1 stitute nine and not the Nationals. They called us frauds" and skins" | and demanded their money back. Mu- ] trie was pitching for all he was worth and the players tried to ignore the 1 taunts of the disappointed spectators. | The crowd became so worked up over the demands for their money that got the money together and started
 to pay it back to the spectators. It was a sad blow to us to have our first
 game end in such a fizzle, and it was
 sure to be black eye for our new un- dertaking.
 As the restless spectators were
 standing in line to get their admission
 money back, there was a great shout
 and as I looked around to see what was the matter I saw the Washington players all in uniform, coming in at the gate. The day was saved right ;, there. It seems the train from Wash 1 ington was an hour late, so the | players dressed on the train and hur- l ried to the grounds quickly as they ! could. The substitute team was tak- en from the field and our first game was played as scheduled.
 Mutrie and myself had been intery ested In the game from the beginning 1 and we tried for some time to get into the league before we were successful. 1 I told Mutrie if he would get the grounds I would furnish the money.
 So he got the grounds at 10th street
 and Fifth avenue. We played for d
 time as the "Metropolitans" before we joined the National league
 l During the second year we were in ] the league, the April games drew so l we'll that we made $10,000, so yo~ See l the attendances were pretty good in l those days. We played at the old Polo 1 Bounds for a time, and for a short | while played on Staten Island. The 1 crowd followed us there and the at tendance held up well. Later we went | to the present Polo Grounds at 155t | l street.

DREW EQUALS HIS
 COWARD RECORD
Negro Sprintcr Covers 1O5 Yards in 1925 Seconds at Fordham
 Games.

New Yok, Feb. 12.-Howard Drew, the negro athlete, gave another sensa- tional sprinting exhibition last night when he won the 90-yard special in the Fordham university games at the Twenty second Corps of Engineers, in 91-5 seconds, equalling his own worlds record, made in Brooklyn in April, 1914, After repeating his Mill rose A. A. and New York A. c. victor ies over RoyMorse and Jo Loomis of Chicago, the University of Southern California crack continued on to a tape at 105 yards, where he was clocked in 10 2-5 seconds equalling a record made outdoors at Berkeley Oval in 1901 by M. N. Hargrave of Yale.
 Hargrave's record found it's way into the A. A. U. Almanac through a mis- take of the starter in the dual meet between the Oxford and Cambridgc team and the Yale and Harvard rep resentativts in 1901.
 The significance of Drew's perform ance cf 10 2-5 seconds is that in all probability he ran 100 yards in ten seconds, the second time within four days.
 The colored mans victory was as clean as ever WdS scored. lie was aWdE we'll and at ten yards appeared ir front, trailed by Morse and Loonis the only other starters. He did not ap- pear to be extended at any time, but ii is one of the remarkable facts about Drew's style that he always appears to be running within himself.
 Morse, who finished second, was beaten a yard and half, while like distance separated Morse and Loomls

Advanced Boxing.

Has the art of boxing advanced? Has the science and development of the game been carried along? Un- doubtedly, most people will say. But twenty-four years ago John Lawrence Sullivan fell before the youth and skill of James J. Corbett.
 Can any one say that either Willard or Moran has more of the lion- hearted courage, more of the rugged ness, Or more of the wallop than old John l.. Had?
 Or that either Willard or Moran had greater skill and science than Corbett put upon display over two decades ago?
 If so, we'll be much obliged to re- ceive proof

Walter Camps Return.

Walter Camps return to Yale foot ball is not a matter of "coming back tls far as the game itself goes. MT. Camp has been in active touch with football ever since he surrendered his ancient portfolio to Elidom. So he has never gone away. And, as Hurry Up Yost says about him-'No man in Ameica has done as much for foot ball, or knows more about the game"
 With Walter Camp and John Reed Fitzpatrick in close reach the Jones' Sweeney combination should have all the outside aid it will need.
