NEW CANDIDATE NOT PROBABLE x
Will Ask McRae to Reentcr Race f0l
 Governor Says Hope Mar.

Little Rock, Jan. 13-StatementS that residents of Prescott and of other towns in the southwest part of the State expected to meet at Prescott Thursday and get out new candi- date for governor Wednesday brought forth laughter from Little Rock poi1- ticians and professions of ignorance of any such plan from leading poli- ticians of Prescott.
 T. C. McRae, slated to be asked to re-enter the race, Wednesday morning said he was net party to any meetins to be held Thursday, and had heard nothing of such a meeting. MT. McRae reiterated his declaration that his withdrawal from the race was in ia. vor of none of the remaining c&act-- dates.
 R. F. Hamby, mayor of Prescott, and his father C. C. Hamby, both declared that rumors of any such meeting were news tc them, and that they had heard of no movement to inject new candi- date into the race
 Whence Came Story.
 At headquarters of Dr. c. H. Brough it was charged that the story emana.- ed from Hodges campaign followers. while at Hodges headquarters the idea of another candidate getting into the race was considered ludicrcus.
 Men well versed in Arkansas politics today said that entrance of new e.r- ajdfte in tho race at this time wa not within tho hounds cf probability: that lines have been drawn too ,aut and too many affiliations perfected for 8 new candidate to make a showing.
 Tilman Parks. who recently remcv- ed to Hope from Lewisville Wednes- day morning said there would be . meeting Thursday of persons interest ed in getting another candidate out, but he did not know whether the meet: ing would be held in Texarkana O.: Prescott. He declined to give the names or any Othec persons intereSteG in the movement.
 Politicians here said that the rurnor was started to muddy the waters'' In politics in Southwest Arkansas, and to prevent alignments of several politic- fans to become known.

CAMP EXPLAINS
PUzZLING PLAY IN
PRINCETON GAME

New Haven, Nov. 20-A. great deal
of argument has arisen over the rules
governing the possession Of a ball af-
ter kickoff, which is allowed to roll
on the ground, a question which
arose in the beginning of the second
half of the Yale-Princeton game,
when Moseiey,e the Yale left end, fell
on Comerford's kickoff, on the
Princeton 20-yard line, a play which
later resulted in the first score by
Yale.
The rules governing the play are
very simple. Walter Camp, the great
Yale football expert, last night ex-
planned that q kickoff being a spnci-
men Of free kick, is anybody's ball
provided IL of the players were on
side when the ball was kicked. This
is quite different from a punt. which
does not belong to the kicking side
If obtained unless it has been pre-
viously touched by a player Of the side
receiving the kick.
: The only explanation for Prince
that they must have confused the
rules governing kickoff with those
Of punt. It is often the practice to
let ball roll over the goal line so it
can be brought out to the 20-yard line
and set in play by scrimmage or other
wise, and this is probably what La
trobe and Moore had in mind when

Mrs. Britton First
Woman President of
:. Major League Team

ST. Louis, Nov. 20-Mrs. Schuyler
p. Britton was Saturday elected presi-
dentsof the st, Louis National League
Baseball Club. to succeed her hus-
band, whose resignation was accepted
by the board Of directors. Mrs. Brit
ton is the. first woman who has ever
held the presidency of a major league
club Schiller p. Britton's resignation
from his executive position is believed
20 have been the direct result of suit
for divorce filed by his wife yesterday.
It is said Britton's resignation has
been in the hands of his wife ever
since he was elected to the Office, sew
eral years ago.
While Mrs. Britton has always
taken an active interest in the office
Of the Cardinals heretofore, she was
content to remain behind the scenes,
though she generally attended the an
nual meetings. of the National League
as representative of the st. Louis
club. Mrs. Britton came into base
ball prominence together with the
possession Of the Cardinals several
years ago. through the will of a late
uncle, Stanley Robson. She was the
nrst woman owner of a major league
franchise.
Mrs. Britton announced at the con-
clusion Of Saturdays meeting that
Miller Higgins would be retained as
manager of tho club, but that, there
would be changes among the players.

HARVARD STARTS
LAST WEEK WITH
HOPES CT VICTORY

Boston, NOV. 20.--IIarvard started its
final week of football today highly
confident of successful wdndup. in
spite OF Saturdays game. The squad
which looked mono too promising at
the beginning Of the season. back IN
/ the early weeks of September, now
/ has reached Ats regular form and ap-
I pears to be fully able to cope with
its greatest rival. Yale. in the big
bowl at New Haven next Saturday.
The condition Of the whole squad Is
"a source Of great satisfaction to Coach
lHaughtoll Whereas, in former years
Inc was troubled with injuries that
Threatened to keep many OF his best
linen out Of the more important games,
this year he is approaching the Yale
battle with practically the entire first
squad in good physical shape.
Harvard will go into the battle next
saturday afternoon full OF confidence
THAT It can defeat Yale for the second
time in the bowl. The Ellis used to
Grub .hesin on the Harvard teams of
tformefs years by making it impossible
for the Crimson to win from Yale in
tits own Stadium. In fact, it was not
until 1913, when Charley Brickley made
fhis 4fve sensational field goals, that
faarvard ever did defeat Yale in the
lStadfum;, and it was not until last
year, when Eddie Mahan's team was
playing, that Harvard made its first
Touchdown against the Blue in the
lStalium. That was when Dick Harte
caught the famous punt which Bing-
ham muffed and raced for half the
length of the field.
Nearly all the substitutes who have
Iany chance Of getting into the game
lat all had a good workout against
Brown, and the climax Of the 1916 sea-
con Is neared with more than rs OF his
men tried and tested. He is not at a
loss Aor substitutes this year and from
the class numerals Of most of the
.playeys It looks as il he would not be
'''lf' asainst it tor several years to
come.
The work for the final week is never
$50 heavy as earlier in the season.
Holt q dozen of the regulars witnessed
ltho Princeton-Yale game, and they
doubtless picked UP much valuable in
FORMATION on the Yale players.
The coaching staff will have pretty
definite line on Yale when they take
the varsity squad in hand, and the
scrubs win quickly be taught what
lever late Yale plays have been OBJ
served, in, order that the varsity men
may acquire the experience Of soing
against such plays.

Eddie Rousch Outhit
Benny Kauff During
Last National Campaign

! Cincinnati, Nov. 20-The joke of
jokes: Ed Roush outhit Benny Kauff
on the season! And McGraw kept
Roush benched, featured and head
lined Kauff and finally chucked Roush
in as "boot" in the trade for Mathew
son! ts
When New York acquired the two
Federal outfielders, Kauff and Roush,
many close watchers of the game de-
clared that Roush was the better.
There was no question as to their rel
alive outfielding skill-Roush is a
mile ahead Of Kauff when 1t comes to
ground-covering, sure clutching and
accurate throwing.
1t was believed by McGraw, how
ever. that Kauff would surely hit 60
to 70 points ahead of Roush, and SO
Kauff was made a circus feature.
while Roush was tossed away. And
now, behold Roush hit 1857 to Kauff's
.264, and Roush is counted as the bet-'
ter of the two almost every way from
the jack!. =:

Closing Contest.

Harry Legore is the only man to grad
uate in my team of Saturday, except
ing possibly Captain Black, who is as
yet undecided on his course
The Eli players are in the pink of
condition and came out Of the contest
with Princeton, with scarcely a mark.
Confidence is expressed on every
hand over the coming game with the
Crimson, although the men have been
warned not to accept victory as a mat
ter of course. Although the players
themselves took a rest, the coaches by
no means relaxed. Head Coach Jones
held long conferences with Arthur
Brides and Jack Gates.
Yale uncorked nearly everything
she knew against Princeton, and en-
tire1y new angles will be worked out
upon the resumption of practice Tues

fident of success, but are by no means

Atlantic City, N. j., Nov. 20-The
same powerful Yale machine which
moved down Princeton at Palmer
Field Saturday will face Harvard at
New Haven next Saturday. The only
change is to be at quarter back, where
Travers Smith will start, instead of
La Roche. Smith has fully recovered
from in injury ofFthe earlier season
and was prepared to go in against

This announcement was made last
night by Head Coach Tad Jones, who
brought the big Blue squad to- the
shore for the week end, and ordered
complete relaxation. He urged the
players temporarily to forget football,
and not allow the coming contest with
Harvard to cause the least worry.

right combination with my present

CLAIM TOM GIBBONS
CAN BEAT BILL MISKE

New York, Nov. 20-Harry Sher-
man Of Minneapolis is willing to ber
that Tom Gibbons can whip Billy
Miske. He bet Maxey Blumentahal
$500 against $1,000 last night that
Mikes younger brother can repeat

plished on two occasions. Sherman,
who dabbles in boxing as tired BUSH
ness mans tonic, rushed into town,
spent s minutes of his time to sell
the New York rights to the film, 1.-THE
Crisis for $4,000, and then sat down
to talk about his pet hobby. Sher-
man conducted the Gibbons and Dillon
bout and he, like all other St. Paul
and Minneapolis folks, can't under
stand why Billy Miske has become ia
nous in New York over night.
He said:

they allowed the alert Yale end to fall
on the ball while they calmly looked
on in establishment. In an early
season game this might be pardona-
BILE but in a so-called big team the
ignorance Of such a rule is regarded
as inexcusable.
Carey of Yale. came near making
the same mistake when in the Brown
game he took his time going behind
the Yale goal line to bring back a ball
from kickoff which went over the
goal. Had Brown beaten him to the
ball, as everyone feared, the final
score of that memorable contest
would have been % to instead Of 21

Carey was taken out of the Brown
