TELLS
COLUMBIA WHY
ATTACK FAILED
Eleven Given Long Lecture on
Defects in Williams
Game

Nelson Metcalf gathered his Colum-
bia football team about him yesterday
afternoon and delivered q long lec.-
ure, illustrating it with diagrams of
plays used in the game against Will
Jams on last Saturday.
The faults of the individual players
were pointed out, and much time was
devoted to making clear just why the
Columbia attack failed. All agreed
that the offensive of the Blue and
White was not worthy of the name.
The strategic value of plays was dis
cussed, and Metcalf made 1t clear in
just what portions of the field certain
plays were TO be used.
1t is probable that no field goals
will be attempted from outside dis
tances when the team tackles Stevens
on Election Day. Against Williams
attempts lat goals from the field were
ordered on the third down from points
near midfeld. 1t was agreed that an
other play might have been made.
Columbia suffered little in the game
with the Williamstown men in point
Of injuries. With the exception Of
Raimando, whose shoulder was IN
jured, and jeff Healy, the captain,
who has bad leg, all the men are in
good condition. 1t was thought that
Raimando had broken his collarbone,
but two X-ray photographs failed to
discover any break in the bone. Healy
is nursing minor bruises, but he will
be all right with bit of rest.
The players take exception to the
statements that they were lucky to
stave off defeat in the Williams game.
They went into the game to win if
they could, and there was no effort to
play for a tie. One of the players.
acting as spokesman for the team.
said: ave don't agree with the state
ment that we were lucky to escape a
one-sided defeat. We didn't play at
our best, it is true put we were good
enough TO stop thy advance OF the
Williams team down in our own ter
ritory."
Before attending the lecture by the
coaches, some OF the varsity players
romped around South Field, catching
forward passes and trying some field
goals. Nothing in the way of real
work was attempted, but they will be
out and at it to-day. Van de Water
and WILDER are expected TO take their
places in the lineup in few days.

CANN FAMILY
VITAL FORCE
IN N. Y. u. TEAM

New York University is still rejoic-
ing over the victory scored against
Union on last Saturday, and has still
another cause for jubilation. Howard
Cam, the star running back and punter,
is not so seriously injured as was first
reported. Howard is nursing
wrenched shoulder, but he will be back
in harness before very long. In the
meanwhile the Cam family will be rep
resented, for Tedford, Towards
younger brother, has decided TO make a
serious bid for the eleven, and IN all
probability he will make it.
Teddie Cam is q broth OF boy
tall, deep chested and broad OF Shout
der. He WEIGHS about IT'S pounds and
is made Of whalebone and steel springs,
or so il would seem. He can ran with
the ball about as we'll as his brother, is
a consistent punter and a wonder in
handling the forward pass. He learned
the rudiments of the game playing on
the High School Of Commerce cubs,
and showed such exceptional ability
that he was drafted by the first team.
Later he went 10 Hamilton Institute
and thence 70 University Heights.
The Violet showed real drive and
punch in the game against Union. Bern
stein was highly effective in his line
bVcking, and Cam stood out until his
injury forced him to leave. Archie
Brin did we'll until he, too, had TO leave
the game.
Light work was in order yesterday.
The team was out in uniform, but
romped around for q while, throwing
the ball and kicking goals. The easy
life will be abandoned to-day, and Dick
Eustis will prepare 70 repulse the Buck.

LEHIGH ELEVEN
SHOWS SIGNS
OF BIG BATTLE

South Bethlehem, Penn, Oct. 30
Coach Ready was forced to resort TO
light work tactics to-day with his Gle
high squad. Saturdays hard game with
Catholic University left its mark on
many Of the men in the way of bruises,
etc. So. instead Of being able to have
scrimmage, limbering up exercises
prevailed.
Pons, Mcdonald and Maginnes were
not out at all. The physical condition
Of the eleven will be a big handicap'i in
the preparations this week for the
Muhlenberg game, and incidentally the
contest with Penn State two weeks
hence.
A heart-to- heart talk featured the
afternoons work, during which Ready
told the men how pleased he was with
the improvement shown in the game
Saturday over that OF the previous
week, but that they are not near up
TO the standard expected at this stage
of the season. He recited how the
tackles were prone to play too close
in and the ends were at fault in not
getting down the field faster II has
practically been decided that Harring-
ton, by reason OF his brilliant work on
Saturday, has a look-in for quarter
back.

Pay During Disability,
Or Discharge-Fultz
Baseball Fraternity Head Prepares List Of Players
Concessions To Be Presented to
Magnates

the minor leagues, and against its rul-
ings the Fraternity and players always
have recourse 10 appeal TO the commits
sion, whose finding is final.
II is TO the interests of the Baseball
Players Fraternity, therefore, that the
requests outlined above be presented at
the annual meeting of the minor league
magnates-known as the National AS
ISOLATION meeting New Orleans the
week of November IA. While no work
ing agreement to that effect exists be-
tween the National Commission and
the fraternity it is known that the
triumvirate for some time has sub
scribed TO the sentiments of the play
ers' association as subscribed in the
articles outlined.
No case of the suspension of major
league player because of disability suf-
fered in regularly scheduled game,
with the sacrifice of pay, was known
even in the days Of the Federal League
war and consequent high finance of the
game. The disability clause, however,
has been used as a subterfuge by ter-
tain National League clubs to evade the
supposedly strict 2l-player roster limit.
At least, such subterfuge has been
charged against certain Of his asso-
ciates by Barney Dreyfuss, of the
Pirates.
Major league clubs encourage fight
and hustling on the part Of their stars.
If accident results they are glad TO
foot the bills as well as the salaries Of
the disabled. In the minor leagues,
however. it is different. Since the war
the slogan in the sticks has been one
for economy. These minor leagues,
many of which are barely able to keep
a jump or two ahead of the sheriff. are
expected to put up a stiff fight against
the fraternity demands. Training ex-
penses and hospital bills are very seri-
Gus items to their struggling existence,
though it would seem that the frater-
nifty is asking nothing unreasonable in
request that disabled players either
be paid or given their unconditional
releases

Boston, Oct. 3O.-There was very lit
tie doing for the Harvard varsity foot
ball squad this afternoon.
The coaches all came out, but all ex-
cept two of the players who took part
in the Cornell game were excused for
the day, the drill being only for those
who did lot play.
There we're hardly a dozen Of the
first string on the field, but among
them were several players who were
welcomed home from the hospital squad.
Flower and Bond, both of whom start
ed the season as first-striag backs, were
in the lineup, while on the forward
line Clark played his old position at
left guard.
Sugar, the substitute centre, was able
to work out, and Batchelder, the
heaviest end rush, again was. on the
job. Billy Murray worked for time
at quarter, later being replaced by
Gardner. Day, who played part of the
Cornell game at guard, was used as
centre. This was his place last fall for
tfe scrub. Bond and Flower are ready
for hard work, and they will have to

Want Privilege of Signing Mem
Contract When Told of Release

There exists in many minor league
contracts and in some OF those of IN ,
American League" Mr.. Fultz explained,
"a clause which allows clubs TO sus-
pend a player disabled on the field.
Thus, it is possible to deprive a player
who has committed no fault Of the
means of earning livelihood, not be-
cause of any breach OF discipline, not
because of neglect Of his full duty
but because in his excessive zeal for
the club he has exposed his person 10
bodily harm. 1t is our opinion that the
worst treatment player should re-
ceive in this situation would be his
discharge. Now, it is possible for a
club to prevent such player going else
where, and yet pay no salary.
I'VE also believe" continued Mr..
FUltz, that when player receives
notice of unconditional release he
shoyld be free to sign with any team
Immediately, the new contract to begin
Immediately after the expiration of the
old. This privilege is now denied
minor league players by the objection
able Rule "a of the National Board.
The major leagues serve ten days nc
tice OF unconditional release; the
Class "A and Class A leagues but five
which is short enough for the dis
charged players to look about for other
employment
"The other requests" concluded
President Fultz, (which have to do
with legislation are fair and open and
need no further discussion"
IL was explained that "travelli &
expenses" for the minor league players
included railroad tickets, berth and
meal money, where either or both of
the last two items are usual expenses
of the trip involved.
From what could be learned in local
circles yesterday IL is more than prob
able that the fraternity will have the
kindly Offices OF the major league
mngnatcs in its fight for recognition
from the minor league board. The big
fellows seek no new quarrels. The
National Commission, with Barney
Dreyfuss on the trail. is not honlng 10

By w. J. MACBETH

David L. Fultz, president Of tn
Baseball Players Fraternity, an
nounced yesterday the list Of conces
sions his association would reques
from the National Commission and tn
National Association. Briefly thes
were as follows:
First-That clauses in baseball
contacts empowering clubs to sus-
pend without pay, after certain
periods of disability, players who
are injured in active service, be
eliminated, and that such players
be entitled to full pay so long as
they are held under contract.
Second-That Rule 81 Of the rules
and regulations Of the National
Board be amended in so far as it
violates Section l of the Fraternity
agreement.
Third-That minor league play
ers receive their travelling ex-
penses from their homes to the
training camps when reporting for
spring practice.
Fourth-That the procedure now
employed by the National Board in
hearing players claims presented
by the Fraternity be amended so
that the Fraternity shall receive
copies of the defences interposed
by the clubs, and an opportunity
be given it (the Fraternity of an
swering such defeDces; that imme-
diately upon decisions being rem
dered the Fraternity shall be
served with copy thereof, and the
players exhibits, if any, presented
by the Fraternity returned to it, if
requested.
Fifth-That the board shall en-
force its awards against the club.

ternity has no grievance against tn

New Haven, Oct S0.-Yale opened

ieturn TO the eleven by mid-week.
Captain Herbert Kempton, of the
freshman eleven, has gone to the in
flmary with sprained ankle. but eX-
poets 10 lead the 1920 eleven again
within two weeks.
Centres Rcjoin Squad
Callahan and Vorys, the leading can
didates for centre rush, returned TO the
lineup this afternoon, Vorys going TO
the snapback position in the second
team. lie probably will finish the sea-
son as reserve candidate to Rex Hutch
inson. who is now regarded as first
string selection for the position.
The coaches made what is believed to
be a significant move in assigning Cal
lahan to guard on the third eleven. The
material for the guard positions is ex-
ceedingly melgre, and it is believed
that Callahan will finish the season as
substitute, with a possibility that he
may yet replace Gait as regular right
guard. Fred Carter, who began the sea-
son prominent in the guard competi-
ton. was to-day in uniform, for the
first time in several weeks.
To-day's visiting coaches included
Foster Rockwell, head coach ten years
ago, and Jack Gates, the former An
napolis coach. In "The Yale News" to-
day Sol Metzger, the Washington and
Jefferson coach, said that Yale i'm
pressed him as remarkably strong in
every department of football, except in
defensive work and in the forward
passing game, and that he believed Yale
would meet Harvard and Princeton this
year with strong probability o. VIC
tory in both matches.
Weak on Punting
Manager Murphy of the Washington
and Jefferson team stated that the Yale
team was extremely strong in every de-
partment of football. except punting
and in defence against the forward
passing game, and that it was 100 per
cent stronger than last years Yale
eleven.
He predicted that Yale would defeat
both Harvard and Princeton.
Although Yale regards the Colgate
and Brown games, which are next on
the schedule, as excellent tryouts, 1t
was the common feeling in the coaches
council chamber to-day that Yale, in
winning the Lehigh and Washington
and Jefferson games. had passed its
crisis and disposed Of the most difficult
preliminary games on the Yale sched-
ule.
Calf is now regarded fixture. 1t has
been against Yale coaching policy 70
use players whose weight was more
than two hundred pounds, and guard
who tips the scales at 227 pounds has
not been eountenanced since the pres
ent code of rules was adopted.

AMHERST PLANS
ON WIPING OUT
EARLIER DEFEATS

Amherst, Mass. Oct. 30.-Undaunted
by the 10 to 7 defeat at the hands of
Wesleyan last Saturday. Coach Riley
put the team through stiff two hours
scrimmage this afternoon. The team
showed plenty of offensive strength
last Saturday. but was defeated bv it's
inability to stop the open football Wes-
lcyan used in the last period of the
game. Consequently, the practice of
the afternoon consisted entirely of de-
fensive work for the varsity. The
varsity backs alternated in carrying
the ball through the line for the
scrubs. but the varsity line showed
the best defence of the season.
By his good work against Wesleyan
Schmid has earned regular job at
halfback. Although he was not fast. he
used his head and showed that he had
the knack of picking holes.
So far this season the new team has
been unable to bring home a victory
Coach Riley feels, however. that the ex-
perience the men have received and
the improvement they have shown in
the last few games make three wins
quite probable in the last three games
of the season against Trinity. Union
and Williams.

TIGER COACHES
TRY CONVEY AT
QUARTERBACK
Easy Work for Princeton
Squad After Hard Game
with Dartmouth

Princeton, N. j., Oct. So.-None Of
Princeton's squad was injured in the
Dartmouth game, but they were all
pretty badly battered up and were kept
out of scrimmage this afternoon. Every
body who started Saturday, with the
exception of Eddy, was put through a
long signal practice and a dummy drill
for forward passing, but there was no
tackling.
Both Ames and Eddy were given a
day off, and Harold Comey took the
quarterback position on the first team.
Every one who watches Conveys work
is more impressed by it each day, and
he may be given a try at guiding the
team in the November games. In addl-
ton to his quarterback qualities he Is
only second to briggs as punter.
Strenuous for Substitutes
The substitutes were the squad that
did all the work to-day. They lined up
against the scrubs and forced the ball
over the goal line from the 20-yard
mark several times in succession. The
back who more than any others made
this possible was Wilmer Thomas. He
is the only line plunger on the Prince
ton squad, and this afternoon he was
used until he could hardly stand.
Bill Moore was in scrimmage on the
second team, and although he got in
the Dartmouth game for few minutes,
to days was his first scrimmage in
about three weeks. He was only given
the ball once against Dartmouth, and
was used more as a threat than q
ground gamer.
Charlie Latrobe, varsity tackle, who
had been on the injured list for q
couple of weeks, was back In harness.
He and Halsey and Kaufman were all
used in the scrimmage. From now
until the Harvard game it should be a
tough fight between these three and
McGraw for the position of running
mate to Bill Mclean, the veteran left
tackle. Cyril Baelin, an old Princeton
tackle, spent about an hour early in
the afternoon in giving Kaufman in
dividual instruction.
Funk in Wilson's Place
Wilson got down to practice late,
and his position was filled by George
Funk, who is expected to develop into
one of the best ends Princeton has
ever had. He has all the natural quail
tiles which go to make up a good foot
ball player, including weight, strength,
speed and an uncanny knowledge of
where to expect the play to come.
Against Dartmouth, Princeton used
only a few forward passes, of which
the majority, however, were completed.
1t is expected that in the rest of the
games her play will loosen up little.
Hours of practice are being spent on
this department of the game, and
there must be a reason for it.
