ATHLETIC UNION
 WILL MEET NOV. 20
Radical Changes in Constitution and
 Bylaws Will Be Voted On.

New York. Oct 31-The revised constitution and bylaws of the Amar teur Athletic Union, which will be voted upon at the annual meeting in this city November 20. contain a num- Der of radical changes according to advance copies distributed today. Eff forts have been made to incorporate the suggestions which were advanced for the elevating of amateurism at the conference conducted by the Intercol- legiate Association of Amateur Ath- letes last winter.
 The principal. change reported by the committee on revision included one requiring that delegates to the annual meeting Of the National body be anna teurS; the definition of an amateur and the provisions for reinstatement and pardoning power additional pro- lection of the rights of college stu- dents to represent constitutional in stitutions and cases where the college terms close prior to June, and in cases where college attendance is not required in consecutive semesters. It is also recommended that the clause in the present constitution permitting of the registration of women for swimming events be stricken out
 The definition of an amateur sports man under the revised rule will be ''one who engages in Sport solely for the pleasures and physical, mental or social benefits he derives therefrom ana 10 whom sport IS nOtnlnS more than an avocation.
 Several acts which will render a person ineligible to compete as an amateur are mentioned. among them being: competing under an assumed name or for financial benefit; coach ing for money or capitalization of ath- letic fame or ability in advertising or selling sporting goods or prizes. Competing against or with ineligible persons in public contests, whether in dividually or as a member of a team or against a team in which there are one or more ineligible persons. The board of governors, however if the new measures are adopted, shall be invested with a pardoning power by which a person can be purged ot the effects of his commission of some of these acts and under certain condi- tions and time limitations be restored to good standing as an amateur in al branches of sport.

TRIS SPEAKER MAY
 PILOT CLEVELAND
Famous Outfielder, the Choice to Sue
 ceed Lee FohI.

It looks very much as if Iris Speak CT would be made manager of the Cleveland Indians for the 1917 season and as much longer as Owner Dunn decides.
 Although he has not announced his decision, he is expected to do so in a day or so. after going over matters connected with the club with Lee Fohl.
 One high up in American league circles said last night that Speaker would be Dunn's choice for the place.
 MT. Dunn is going to Forest City to consider the list of manager pros poets. a-..s.-.
 At least 10 well known baseball men have applied for the position and while FohTs record as boss of the In dians last year was one of the sur prises of the American league, he is far from being the leading candidate judging from Dunn's statement.
 George Stovall, a former Cleveland first baseman, when Lajoie was boss ing the club and later temporary man. ager of the then Maps. is one of the men seeking the place.

YALE HAS REAL SCORING POWER
Game With Harvard This Season Promises be Old Bate-This Year the Blue Eleven is Apparently Regain ing Its Prestige.

As the football season grows older the outlook for one. of those old-time Yale-Harvard gameS-a real contest, in which each side is very much in the fight down to the final whistle becomes brighter. It is several years since the Ellis have been able to make that annual geme much of a contest, back in 1911. to be exact. Tn the four intervening games between these two rivals the Crimson won declsiyely each time. Harvard's victories were wen by scores of 200, 1855, 36-0 and 41-0. 1n- spectator and for Yale this season, even though the game may not result in victory for the Ellis.
 Two conditions. apparently passed, were responsible for these one sided games. Yale dropped below mediocre in football after years of unparalleled success at the gaT1e. years of leader ship. in fact. As New Haven university retrograded in the gridiron sport Har- yard came up with a flock of the greatest football players ever gathered in one fold. Brickley and Mahan were but two stars of a laXy of bright lumi- naries. Hardwick. Logan. Trunbull. Pennock, Soucy, Bradlee, Watson. Coolidge, Franke, Wallace, Storer, Gill man and Parson were stars of high order. Coached by the best that foot ball affords, it is no wonder that the Crimson was able to ride rough shod over the disorganized Yale teams, ren- dered weaker by a shifting coaching system.
 This season shows Yale apparently gaining her old place as a football power and Harvard receding somewhat from its super strength of recent years. Harvard's present team is no weakling, and Eddie Casey may yet prove himself as great as any of bis recent predecessors under the Crimson spotlight But until the 1916 team at Cambridge shows more steadiness than it has shown to date, it must suffer by comparison with the teams explained by Storer, Brickley and Mahan. Cap tain Dadmun has a strong team, strong enough perhaps to win both of its re- maining big games, but it is likely to encounter more opposition here on Nov. 25 than any Harvard team has had from Yale since 1o11.-
 The Ellis gave evidence of real SCOT ing power on Saturday against Wash ington and Jefferson. likewise a weak defense against the forward pass. The Pennsylvanians scored as many touch downs this year as in their victories

this fall, both between solely Yale crews, and four next spring with eights of other universities will be rowed.

over Yale in the past two seasons, yet never had chance to win. The diff ference was in the Yale attack, which appears to be assuming some real strength, certainly long overdue here.
 AS for Princeton, no fault can be found regarding success, since the Tigers have won all their games. They appear to be very weak, however, on attack, and their chances in the big games, unless the attack becomes much better, will rest in some such happenings that which turned Satur- days game their way. But Yale and Harvard have shown much better SCOT ing power than have the Tigers. Neither rival equals the Tigers on de- fense, but the difference on defense will not manufacture points for the final score. Princeton may keep both rivals down to low scores. but the le-Harvard battle promises to be more spectacular and more of a fight.

 Word was received by the officials

 for the scene.
 Between , and o'clock this morn ing, short time after leaving Prince Rupert the Camosun struck and went
 fast in a rock cradle, during a heavy snowstorm. There was small pas senger list Every effort has been ' made since then to reflOat her but

 INDIANAPOLIS. March An un- usually heavy republican vote and what is considered as a remarkably light progressive vote were the feat urCS Ol the first statewide preferential primary held in Indiana today. Late tonight it appeared that it would be impossible for two or three days to learn definitely who had been nom- mated. In l29 scattered precincts out of 3,l777. James E. Watson was lead ing for the republican nomination for United States senator and James P Goodrich was leading for the republi- can nomination for governor.
 Returns at 10 o'clock tonight from 26 out of the 3,l77 precincts in the state gave the following for the repub- liCan candidates:
 For United States senator: New SAT- Watson. 1,03S
 For governor: Goodrich 9S3; Me Cray 742.
 Thitry two scattering precincts gave in the democratic race for governor: Adair. l.230; Clore S44.
 United States Senator John w. Kern was unoppOsed for nomination on the democratic ticket, as was also President Wilson and former Vice President Charles w. Fairbanks, can didates for the nomination for presi- dent on the democratic and republican tickets, respectively.
