NEW YORK. Jan. with the hoIi-

of the track work men. for large squads
are reporting daily for gymnasium or
board track work and dual meets will
soon be In order. to be followed IN

various changes in the rules several in

will be staged at some OF the more
important contests, including the in.
door intercollegiates to be held at
Madison Square Garden the first Sat
urday In March.
At these games the running broad
jump, which has been added to the
program at the request of the Uni

field of jumpers for the outdoor meet:

Rumor Has 1t That Gaffney and

Club.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The sensation
in baseball circles caused yesterday by
the announcement of the sale OF the
Boston Braves to Percy d. Haughton
was followed by the report that James
L. Gaffney the Boston magnate, would
form a partnership with Harry 8. SIN
clair, principal backer of the Federal
League. and purchase a controlling IN
terest in the New York Giants.
Ganney is resident of New York

biggest administration contractors In
the city, being a power in Tammany
Hall affairs. Sinclair has been dicKer-
ing for the New York Giants and
Yankees ever since the Federal League
made is peace overtures to organised
baseball, and Gatfney was one OF the
principals In putting an end TO the
baseball war.
The deal between Carney and Sin
clair is believed to have followed Ine
visit OF the Federal League officials tc
the Braves new bali park. The
-Feds' were entertained by Carney
and ar that time the National League
maenate convinced Phil Bail and SIN.
clair that they Were up against q

COLLEGES FAVOR
~
FACULTY CONTROL.
Prof. CorWin, of Yale. Would
Have Athletics Placed IN
Curriculum.

NEW YORK, Jan. s-The proposal
that there should be faculty control
Of athletics is being seriously dis
cussed among the Eastern colleges.
Prof. Robert n. Corwin. of Yale, Is -
strong advocate OF faculty control. ana
Prof. Alexander Haring. of New YORK
Cniversity, advocates the incorporation
OF athletics in the curriculum or
studies. Columbia has already adopted
the scheme of faculty control. the
coach OF the football team being =
member of the department of physical
education. Harvard, Princeton. Cor
nell. and Pennsylvania favor such r.
method, and before long It Is predicted
that the plan will be in force at many
colleges.
The advocates OF faculty control are
those who believe athletics to pc n
necessary part of the education, ana
that there should be a closer affliaIon
with the students. Al present ii is held
there is an antagonism, many or the
undergraduates and even graduates
feeling that the faculty is opposed TO
athletics. The lack OF common interest
| has led to evils which should be eraoI-
Gated; the end can best be obtained ny
a sympathetic faculty control. tror.
Corwin blames the coaches for ma ny
| of the rule violations. Many sponsors
! believe that coaches should have a
, place on the faculty and that the stan
dard of coaches should be raised 80
mat this Will be possible.

New Workers Surprised
At Sale of Boston Braves

NEW YORK. Jan. Sat the ofice or
James r. Ganne. in this city ali
knowledge OF the sale OF the Boston
Braves to Haughton end Wise was
denied. 1t was admitted that the prin-
cIpal owner OF the Braves was in Bos-
ton, but expected to return here last
night. John p. Foster. secretary OF the
National Exhibition Company. which
owns the Giants. said that nothing con-
cerning the sale had been heard at his
office, and that II II were true IL would
be complete surprise TO most OF
those interested III a business way IN
the National League. About one monui
ago there was a rumor that Mr.. Gam
ney was about to offer the Braves loI
sale but when questioned he made an
emphatic denial.
Until 1871. wnen the Boston team pe-
came the champions OF the world, the
Braves had not won pennant in the
pa rent league since 1898. The outtt was
generally classed as a rather inferfo,
organization until Mr.. Gaffney placed
It IN the hands of George Sta!llngs

Immediately after the announcement
Haughton wired Manager George T..

to be retained.
Haughton probably will sever rela-
tions with Harvard, although he re-
fused to commit himself when asked
directly whether he would. Il have
too many things on my mind now TO
discuss football" he said.
Since the close of the football sea
son Haughton has avoided all refer
ence to his future course. 1t IL pre-
sumed that he had the purchase Of
the Braves in mind, as he had several
conferences with Gafrney in New
York before the announcement yes
terday.

Harvard nine while in college and
last spring coached the nine success
