CAPTAIN BLACK NAMES
YALE FOOTBALL PLANS
Gridiron Candidates of Old Eli Are
Carded to Report on
September E.

New Haven. Aug. l5.-After a two-day
session Capt. Clinton Black OF the Yale
football eleven has left football head
quarters at the university with plans
matured for marshaling the gridiron
candidates here Tuesday, September 5.
He has sent notices to 100 candidates
to meet him and Head Coach Tad Jones
at the Yale gymnasium at II o'clock on
that morning and then will set them 10
work. The program he has outlined
calls for all the work Of the squad TO be
done on Yale Field. the bowl having
been used for practically all The daily
practice during the season.
Never before has a Yale captain called
together such a large squad for prehmi-
nary practice. nor has the exact hour for
reporting been specified.
Black spent July with friends in In
dianapolis and has just returned TO his
home in New York City. He will spend
most OF August in camp. where he will
take light conditioning exercise
One OF the chief reasons for Captain
Black discarding the policy OF the last
train instead OF going 10 Madison was
that a training table misht Oe secured
under the scientific management Of the
university dining hall
Attempts to bring a football squad
to a summer hotel. both at Madison and
Lakevillo, have proved disastrous when
tried by recent Yale captains. and Black
has determined TO avail himself of the
superior facilities Of the Yale EridirOn

F0HL HEARTILY BELIEVES
In USE OF SACRIFICE

Cleveland, Ohio. Aug. 15.-The Cleve-
land Indians are an excellent example
to prove the value of the sacrifice hit
game. With a team regarded by most
baseball persons as little more than
mediocre, they have kept near the top IN
the American League heap for more than
three months. And the sacrifice hitting
has been largely responsible.
Lee Fohl, manager of the club is one
OF the greatest exponents of the sacrifice
and the hit-and-run game. The Indians
as a result have made more sacrifice NUS
than any other club in either big cir
cult And those same Indians, with
club admittedly weaker than the ma
oority, have been in the fight all the
way.
