shape for 1915 than he was last fall.
There will be no Brickley or Mahnn
at Harvard next fall. but the material
available will be OF high order.
Haugh.on will at least give a good
part Of this time to football. so this
means another well coached Crimson
squad Harvard expects TO have about
as strong machine ready for Yale
next November as she sent against the
Blue in 1914 and 1915 The backfeld
material is Of such high order that
many on the inside do not believe that
either Enwright or Casey will be regu
lars-yet as prep stars these two were
supposed to be only a shade back o.
Mahsn.
Considering these matters, the best
that many Yale men now look for is
a start uphill-a start back to the old
days. They hope at least that Jones
and Sweeney can end the winning in
vasion Of smaller elevens and can a.
least give Harvard something that re
sembles q anything widely re-
mote from the 800 and 41-O affairs
Of the last two years.
This Coach Jones should be able %
do. lie will have invaluable aid from
Mike Sweeney and he will have better
material than most outsiders know
about.
But in the spring and summer In
terim Yale graduates, as heretofore re-
marked. will save up their enthusiasm
until the final score warrants an out
burst. They have had their dream
before only 70 have nightmare fin
ish. They are no longer taking any
thing on faith.

Comeback by F. GOtch
Mere Matter of Finance

New, and while wrestlers have neve-
received as much as pugilists in the
general run Of championship matches,
il is certain that a new record IN
wrestling purses will be made when
Gotch finally signs for his grapplc with
Stecher. Whether the match VIII prove
rs disappointing 20 those that witness
il as the Johnson -Jefr.es battle did 10
the spectators who gathered az the
Nevada ringside on July 4, 1910, only
time can tell.
As a general rule, wrestlers hold
their graphing ability FOR q number OF
years beyond the point where fighters
begin TO slip back. Jeffries was thirty
five when Johnson, at the age Of thirty
two. wrestcd his title from him Gotch
is thirty-eight and S.echer twenty
three, and while the latter has had a
remarkable record to date, many think
that Gotch's long mat career and wres-
tling experience will Offset the advan-
tage of Stecher's youth. In fact, some
wrestling experts figure that the Ne
braska grappler is too young to tackle
Gotch. Certain It is that study or
tie latter's mat record impresses one
with the formidable performances OF
the man when taken in connection with
tic well known fact that he has always
been moderate and methodical in his
habits and training. Gotch. who is five
feet eleven and one-half inches tall and
weights about 2l0 pounds in condition,
has won more than 100 Of the l72 time
handicap or finish bouts. in addition 70

The Brieklayers' Union and the Cigar
Makers Union are suffering from a
loss which Is basebelPs gain. Be 1t
known that Walter Maranville, the
shortstop Of the ton Braves, was an
apprentice in both trades when he
heard the diamond calling him and an
swered its plea.
Ward Maranville, Walters dad, was
stern-visaged minion OF the law about
the same time that Howard Drew, the
negro sprnter. hustled portmanteaus
about the Springfield railroad depot
one day Maranville, srp reported Tor
duty with downcast lace. Drew asked
him what the trouble was, and Maran-
Vile said: "It's all the matter, Howard.
Walters gone TO the dogs. Here /
tried to have him learn bricklaying and
cigarmaking, but he's gone to New
Bedford to be q ball player"
But In 1914 the whole Maranvilie
family saw the whole worlds series
and cheered madly for the boy who
had gone to the bow vows.
The other day bunch Of baseball
writers were tanning up in the Federal
League Office. Let's write an improo-

that Benny Kauf kept quiet two min

Bill Fleischman told the following
story Of Bugs Raymond which de-

Bugs was with the team. In the course

Bitter Experiences of Past
Put Damper on Early
1916 Optimism.
JONES AND SWEENEY
HAVE DIFFICULT JOB
Princeton an Added Menace
and Harvard Is Expected to
Have Great Team.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

Yale graduates, In a football way,
have adopted the policy of President
Wilson "Watchfu waiting" viii re-
main in vogue until Tad Jones and
Mike Sweeney, the new regime, have
hurled their forces against Princeton
and Harvard next November especial
ly against Harvard.
These morose graduates have long
since ceased cheering, whatever the ad-
vance news. They saw Yale's decline
start in 1910, when Ted Coy proved that
az head coach he was one of the great
est players of all time. They saw
Howard Jones, who had made big
success at Syracuse, follow Coy and
still fail to lift Eli from the deepening
rut. Then they saw the incompatible
Frank Hinkcy- EIinkey the Nonpareil-
but all the while Yale was sinking
deeper and deeper into the muck II
defeat. Yale the year before had had
one Of the greatest freshman eleveD5
in her history. The report went forth
that Eli at last was TO be avenged.
The answer was ~ 20 q, with Yale on
the brief end OF the score.
combination looks, you can't very well
blame Yale grads from Maine to Ore
gon and thereabouts for not offering
salvo of cheers They are still hop
ing and looking for the best they
have nothing but praise to offer for the
new Blue directorate-b hope has
sprung eternal IN their breasts before,
with a resultant thud that came near
disocatIng their teeth.
Jones and Sweeney have behind them
six seasons Of disaster In these six
years Yale has lost almost az many
football games as she had lost In
thirty previous years. In the last four
years alone Harvard has hung up ll2
points 10 ga margin OF over % 10 l.
That in itself is sufficient 20 discourage
any early cheering. Yale now Is CON
tent 20 watch and wait until the final
results arc obtained next November.
There will be time enough for cheer
ing then. II the occasion shou happen
10 be Of that type.
However good Jones and Sweeney
will prove 20 be, the task beyond them
Is no part Of pipe. They Will have
in Captain Black an efficient leader,
more than willing 70 give his best to
the good Of the cause. Some first class
material is reported in the Blue offling
enough at least TO bring about big
improvement.
But there is still this 70 be remem
bered; John Harlan Rush will have at
Princeton the best Tiger team of a
decade il advance statistics are car
ried out. He will have good material,
better coached than any Princeton
team within memory. Rush needed a
year to get his bearings-to ga
started With that years experience
back of him he will be in much better

 This morning Mrs. Christie, Nick King, Paul Gabriel. Mir. Williamson and Lynn Adsit with several other whose names were not learned, were on hand and the taking of testimony started. At noon all witnesses in the case were excused until Monday morning.
 District Attorney James A. Smiser and his assistant John J, Reagan. are conducting the case for the govern ment before the grand jury. The charges against Krause will be fully investigated and 1t is thought an in- dictment will be returned early next week.

 Chief of Police Sitter received word from Seattle recently that Cap tain of Detectives Charles Tennant would arrive in Juneau between the 9th and 10th of March to testify and assist the federal officers in conyicting Krause. He has failed to put in an appearance and will probably not come at this time. or until the case comes to trial in the district court
 Krause is alleged to have taken William Christie from his work at
