YALE FAILS TO GET SHARPE

YALE FAILS TO GET SHARPE
w ITH the reopening of Seton Hall
College today the chief topic
discussed among the student body is
the basketball game between the
Setonian five and Dartmouth College.
which is to be staged at st. Michael's
Hall on Wednesday night. The stu
dents at the South Orange institution
are all confident that their team is
going to take the measure of their
Hanover rivals, and 1t is safe to say
that almost everyone who attends
Seton Hall will be on hand to render
their vocal support.
One OF the big features OF the game
should be the cheering. Under the
leadership of Harry Coppinger the Sc
tonian students have established an
organized cheering body and will hold
cheering practice tonight and tomor-
row in the Seton Hall auditorium
Mr.. Coppinger has written several
parodies on the popular songs of the
day. and the rendering OF these,
coupled with the regular college yells,
should lend a Yale-Princeton air to
the contest. The Setonians look upon
the game as the biggest of the year
since 1t Is the first time a Seton Hall
team has ever met team from the
Intercollegiate League. The South
Orange boys can be depended upon
TO put up a fast exhibition, as they
have been practicing steadily since the
Christmas vacation began.
The Dartmouth lineup as received
I af ho
Friday is as follows: Eskeline, WILL
Jams, Ashton, Rau, forwards: Cap
tain Rector, center; Pelletier Sisson,
Richardson and Stenrod, guards.

V the Yale special committee In

ball coach. has just left New Haven
after visit to discuss the situation
with the university officials and to
report on the progress the committee
has made. He received cordial assur-
ances that the university bodies
heartily support the efforts of the
committee. which consists Of McCor-
mick, Brinck Thorne and John Kill
patrick.
Mccormick made II clear that the
report of the committee as to the
coach whom they will recommend is
not Immediately at hand, although
they realize that winter practice must
begin soon. He stated that efforts
have failed to secure DR.. Al Sharpe,
director of athletics at Cornell. This
feature of the report Is a keen dis
appointment at Yale. and a prouai-a
nent university official said lastd
night that Sharpe was just the man
needed to establish O definite and
permanent department of athletics at
Yale, efficiently organized like the
department of Latin, biology or
mathematics.
Two More Members May Be Appointed ON

n CormiclS and the university Of
ficials 1t was pointed out that the
committee OF three. who are recon-
mending new head coach, will re-
tain their organization till football is
placed on a well-organized basis at
Yale.

nounced shortly is the addition OF two
more members to the committee In

Gently. that they might u to their
