What college won the Eastern 1916
football title2
This Is a question Solomon at his
best couldn't answer. The Brown
eleven. with decisive victories over
Yale and Harvard. had a safe lead
for the mythical title when Colgate
came along yesterday and beat Brown
and the great Pollard, and also made
a An tumble of the seasons rating.

New Form of Contract to Be
Submitted at Cincinnati To.
Morrow Leaves Men Little to
Quarrel About Except Fight
With Minor Leagues.
Blu BOzen,an BuIger.
TN view OF the threat of major leae

IN view OF the threat OF major league
bailplayers to withhold their sig
natures from 1917 contracts, I'M
less certain concessions are made by
the owners. the National Commission
has decided on a plan that will spike
the guns OF the Players Fraternity In
advance. The new form of contract
that Is to be submitted for considera-
ton OF the Cincinnati meeting to-mor-
row already has anticipated many OF
the objections by the players and will
leave little to quarrel about except
the fight with the minor leagues.
Ever since the Federal League war
and the hearing before Judge lands
Organized Baseball has been trying to
frame a contract that Will hold In law
and in equity. Two tentative con-
tracts of this nature are now ready
and will be submitted
They are both said To be thoroughly
armored against legal bombardment
One form OF contract was drafted
by Judge Moody Of Detroit. and the
other by Ellis Kinkaid of Cincinnati.
Tho point that IL aimed TO stop
complaints on part Of the players APP
pears In both contracts and 1t Is &c
protect the player against loss OF
salary In case of "A release or a trans
fer. Heretofore the lack OF IN!
clause has worked "A real hardship In
"A few exceptional cases. Hereafter
any contract hat is signed and pro-
mulgated will have to go through &c
the letter no matter what becomes Of
the player.
The one clause that will be retained
is that which holds the player to q
certain club by the ten days notice
OF release and the option on his ser
vices for another year.
Governor Tencr. ban Johnson anC
Garry Hermann Will have the new
/ contracts ready for the league meet
ings On Dec. IL and IA.
In view OF the threatened strike oil
part OF the players, contracts will no
bo submitted to any OF them until tn
new ones are ready TO send out. Is.
that time the Players Fraternity ma.
have "A chance TO think things over.
Even with objections overcome. tn
new contracts will not add In tn
! least to the salaries that the athlete
will demand, and after all. that is tn
real milk In the c%ocoanut. There ca
be no doubt that major league clu
owners have set about dellberatel

All the magnates have agreed to

may look for u mighty yelp on par,
OF tho demon athletes during the

that big salaries were not necessary

AGAINST COLGATE.

Probably no college in the entire
country came In for so much atten-
ton as Brown. one Of the so-called
little fellows. The Providence team
met both Yale and Harvard and won
clean-cut victories. But In view OF
the defeat from Colgate. the Brown
combination was a one-maa team
Fred Pollard, the sensational colored
halfback. practically beat both Yale
and Harvard single handed. Colgate,
though, played him differently.
The Hamilton team laid for the
star negro, The visiting team was
so powerful on the defense that Pol
lard v had n chance to get away
and the entire Brown system is de-
vised to get him loose. With Pollard
effectively stopped. the entire Brown
c~onquerors of Yale and Harvard were
made to look almost like second
raters.
