THREE STARS FOR MACK
Pitchers Krepps and Whitaker and
Fielder Wescott Are Booked
for Athletics.

PHILADELPHIA, February 25.-Two
of the greatest of college pitchers and
one of the star outfelders of the col
lege base ball world are headed for
Connie Mack's Athletics. and while it is
certain that the twirlers will join the
forces of the long leader at the end of
the approaching college base ball sea
son, the outfielder may wait over an
other year.
The pitchers are. Raymond Krepps
and Walter Whitaker of the Tufts
College championship team of last
spring. The outf1elder is Oliver Wes-
colt of the same aggregation. and their
records indicate that Philadelphia is to
acquire the finest assortment of col
lege ball players of the year.
Krepps, who graduates from Tufts
Medical College in June, lost but one
which he allowed but one hit. He is a
husky southpaw twirler, towering a
bit over six feet, and possessing plenty
of speed and control and a fine change
of pace.
Whitaker, a Somerville, Mass, boy,
had record equal to that of Krepps
last year, when out of eleven starts he
won ten games.
slated to join the Athletics either in
June or one year from June, was the
heavy hitter of the Tufts College nine
last season. batting for an average of
1882 in twenty games. He is a brilliant
outfielder. as we'll as a fine batsman
and base runner, and among college
base ball circles has gained the nick
name of the college Ty Cobb
Tufts base ball record for last year
was eighteen games won, against two
games lost, and the three players who
are headed for the Athletics were
largely responsible for this fine show
ing.

ARMY-NAW FOOT BALL
GAME AT POLO GROUNDS
Middies Choose New York Because
of Lack Of Adequate Space
in Philadelphia.

At meeting of the athletic commit
tee of the Military and Naval Acad-
emies held at West Point, N. Y, yes
terday it was decided that the academic
foot ball game for 1916 shall be held
on the Polo Grounds in New York city
November 25 next.
Last years game was played in New
York city at the request Of the Army
team and the naval team had the choice
of the playing ground this year. While
the Navy men prefer Philadelphia as
the place for the game they waived
their choice this year in favor of New
York city for the reason that there
happens to be no field in the Quaker
city large enough for the purpose that
could be obtained. The New York
grounds will accommodate about 49,
900 spectators, and will allow each of
the academies about $1,000 tickets.
In case Congress makes provision for
the big stadium which Col. Harris has
planned to build in east Potomac Park
it will be possible to have the big serv-
ice foot ball games held in this city in
the near future.
The game next year also will be
played a the Polo Grounds, and in 1918
Navy will have the choice.
