NO YALE COACH NAMED
Committee Defers Action on Foot
 ball and Eligibility Cases.

New Haven, Jan. 13.-Predictions that the Yale Athletic committee would not last night decide the elig1- b1l1ty case of the five baseball players who were recently barred for playing summer ball and would not settle the question of a new football coaching system, were verified when Secretary Bunker announced, after a three hours session of the committee, that action on the eligibility matter was deferred.
 The special football committee ported that it's choices had been re- duced to four men, whom they did not name. They are believed to be liar ry Williams, Tad Jones Fred Daly, and Arthur Brides.
 The special committees report will probably be presented at the next meeting of the General Athletic com mittee.
 A committee was appointed last night to draft resolutions appropriate ly commemorating the late Tom Shevlin's athletic services at Yale

SAVED BY PET DOG.

Bridgeport, Jan. 1S.-In real motion picture style, an unmasked burglar walked into the office of the Pequot Poultry company in Southport and after putting a gag into the mouth of Harriet E. Taylor, sister of William Taylor, owner of the business, and then tying her to a chair, started to rife the safe. The girl chewed the gag enough to eject it from her mouth, and yelled for help. A pet dog came in and the would-be burg, lar, scared at the yelling and the dog, dived through a window and es- capped.

MANY ARE AFTER
 PENN. COACHING JOBS
Mercer Wants Football Position kraezll... Out for Track Coach,
 Others Also in Line.

Philadelphia, Jan. 13.-The se- lection of a track coach and football trainer for the University of Penn sylvania is enveloped in yards and yards of red tape. The track com- nittee, of which Louis c. Madeira, Sd, is chairman, yesterday decided that two names would be proposed to rhe football committee and then the lat ter body would pass judgement, for the new track coach will also act in the capacity of football trainer.
 After the football committee has indorsed the candidates the names will then be presented to the board of directors of the athletic associa- tion. Then the faculty committee passes on the aspirants, and if ac- ceptable to all the committees and the directors the track committee will then pick the man for the posi- tion.
 Several men have been mentioned for the post. Dr. Le Roy Mercer, a former Penn Allan erican fullback, intercollegiate broad jump champion, sprinter and quarter miller and pres ent trainer at Swarthmore College, is among those most seriously consid- cred.
 Others who are in line are Alvin Kraezlein, former Michigan, Mercers- burg and German Olympic team coach; Art Smith, who turned out a championship cross-country team at the Univ 1rsity of Maine, last fall; Dr. George w. Orton, present coach at Penn, and Lawson Robertson, coach of the Irish American A. c. of New York

Fair SanDIcs.

These are all fair samples of clubs or clans who were wrecked mainly be- cause they lost their pep and am- bition-because they hadn't suffered sufficiently to become strong and hardy again.
 This proof can be extended to foot Eall. Ten years ago Yale was beating Harvard with cOnsummate ease Penn. was trimming Cornell as regu- larly as the arrival of each frosty Thanksgiving.
 All this time Yale and Penn. were growing soft and fat and careless from too much victory. All this time liar ward and Cornell were learning bitter but valued lessons from defeat and suffering and hard luck.
 You may recall what has happened in the last few years since Yale and Penn. began to pay the penalty. You may recall what has happened-not to Harvard and Cornell, but to Yale and Penn. It was the most natural thing in the world. For it followed 9 law of the game as sure and cer- tain as life and the death that follows life.

$SO,O00 FOR KAUFF,
 ALL SINCLAIR ASKS
Also Asks Mere PittanCe of $6O,- 900 for Lee Magee of BrOOkfedS

Chicago. Jan. 13.-That Harry Sim clair is interested in a deal for the Giants and Benny Kauff is indicated by the prohibitive prices Sinclair has placed on the stars.
 President Weeghman, of the Con- solidated Cub-WhaIe machine, leaves Chicago tomorrow on man-hunttng expedition to New York. 8-e.
 He decided to make the journey after a telephone conversation with Sinclair, who, after quoting fancy prices for the services of Magee and Kauff, suggested that the North Side Moguls speed eastward to talk things over. ta
 Weeghman has landed Steve Yerkes, Pit, Fed. seoond-sacker, and now is angling for Fred Anderson, spitball hurler of the Buffeds. before returning to Chicago. s....t a
 Sinclair sprung a record price for the services of Magee when he asked 8 plain $60,00O and added that Kauff, so-called Ty Cobb of the Federal League, would be knocked down to the gent bidding $s0.000. According to Joe Tinker, the Cubs are now con- fronted by 8 pay roll of $150,00 and he is up to his neck in the work trim ming expenses, hence 1t seems un- likely that Magee or Kauff will be asked to cavort in Cub spangles
 The movement in favor of snaring Yerkes and Anderson was set going after Weeghman and Tinker had been closeted for several hours working on the list of men available from other Fed clubs.
 Artie Hoffman chanced into the club headquarters shortly after the confab. Hoffman is a free agent his contract with the Bufreds having expired. He is undecided in his plans for the coming campaign, but has three propositions in sight.
 He wired last night to his old lead CT, Frank Chance, asking for a berth on the Los Angeles club, If the P. L. cannot place Artie the latter win organize semi-pro team and play games on the old West Side Park

San Francisco, Jan. 13,-Maurice E. Mclaughlin and Thomas c. Bundy have decided to go into partnership and sell athletic supplies in Los An geles. There is some doubt as to whether this step will effect the anna teur status of these great tennis players, but they are upheld by the officials of the Pacific States Lawn Tennis association.
 Mclaughlin said yesterday that he had received a telegram from an Eastern official which expressed re- gret over the step he had decided to take The wire admitted, however, that no rule exists now" to make his proposed adventure a bar to hIs fur ther competition as an amateur.

GOTCH WANTS HIS WAY.

New York, Jan. 13.-Frank Gotch, retired worlds champion catch-as- catch-can wrestler, has refused the S15,000 offer of Harry Pollok and Jack Curley for a match with Joe Stecher in New York. Gotch as- serts that the bout would draw a larger crowd in one of the Western cities, and he insists on a percentage of the gate receipts as his share. The retired champion is willing to come to New York if the purse is large enough, but the promoters have given up hope of being able to comply with his demands Stecher is coming to New York shortly and will be match ed up with some other strong oppo- nent,

CROSBY TO MEET LOCALS.
Captain Schmidt's Hoop Rollers Ready for Visitors-Warning Sent.

SSApN<1u DSAAAIOG IlOCD lAoAANA Ready for Visitors-Warning Sent. The New Britain High school bas- ketball shooters, face one of the toughest opponents of the season Sat urday evening at the local gymnasium, when the Crosby High school five ot Waterbury, will journey to this city with the avowed purpose of taking Captain Schmidt's team into camp. In years gone by followers of basket ball will no doubt remember he hot battles that representatives or both schools have put up in the basketball court, and judging from the relative playing of both teams this season. the coming game Will be no exception.
 The contest was originally sched~ ued for Friday evening, but the de- hate arranged for that evening has >aused a change in the date. It has oome to the attention of the local management that several of the play ITS that will represent the visitors on @aturday evening are not eligible to o1ay on account of claims of profess
 onalism, so in accordance Manager Rortini has written the manager of tho visitors warning him not to at tempt to play any player whose stand ing is not strictly amateur,
 The local boys are in fine shape and are practicing daily in the anti cipation of a hard contest. The prospects were never brighter than this season for garnering a cham pionship, and as the team is enter ed in two leagues the hopes of the followers of the team are that they will be successful in both circuits

A Few Proofs

We think We can prove the above statement. Take the five star ball clubs of the past fifteen years-the Pirates of 1901-1903; the Cubs of 1906-1910; the Pirates of 19O7-19O9; the Athletics of 191O-1914, and the Giants of 1911-1913.
 These were all great machines. They weresconsidered well nigh in- vincible But after two or three sea- sons Of constant victory-of good luck-they went soft, stale and were easily dismantled. You may recall how the old Cubs caved in and blew. You certainly remember how the famed Mackmen went to the mush when they were still young club and supposed to be at their best. They went bad through the softness brought on by too much prosperity.

The New Cubs.

With Messrs. Taft and Murphy eliminated and Weeghman installed as Cub owner, the heavy shadow that has lowered over. the fine baseball property is at last removed. For Weeghman has proved to be the right sort of sportsman and the troubles which wrecked the old Cub machine will never develop again under his ownership.
 It will be interesting to see just what Colonel Joseph Faversham Tin keI can. do as a manager back in his cid circuit Joseph had tough sled ding with the Reds, but so would Napoleon, Wellington or Alexander. He was a success with the Feds, but it may be that the Feds and National league competition are not one and the same. This is another little detail which 1916 is to show.

The late King Cole had one of the most sky-rockety careers of the game. He stepped from a barber shop to the Cubs in 1910 and led the league. AS We recall 1t, he won something like tWenty-one games and dropped only three. This was the sky-rocket DOT tton of his career, and 1910 was the height of the flame. From that point his decline was gradual His run of stardom lasted but a year. He had the stuff, but not enough of 1t got over the plate.

Princeton Believes Old Football ls Too Strong for Practice Game
 Dartmouth is Retained on Schedule.

Dartmouth is Retained on Schedule
 Princeton, N. J., Jan. 13.-No of cial confirmation could be obtained here yesterday of the report that Princeton was to drop Rutgers as a football opponent next fall. However it can be stated on the best of au- thority that Rutgers will not appear on the schedule of the Princeton eleven, which will be completed in few weeks The advisa bility of plac- ing the Tigers time-honored foe, Rutgers, on the schedule for next fall has been under consideration since early last fall, and the question was not definitely settled until re- gently.
 The reason for the omission of Rut- gers from the schedule is that tha Princeton management decided that with Dartm mouth, Harvard and Vale. the eleven had a sufficient numher of hard games.
 For a while the athletic authorities at Princeton thought of dronnine Dartmouth instead of Rutgers, The Princeton Rutgers game was usua11v played early in the season. and sinco the advent of Foster Sanford into Inc Rutgers football circle, the game hoe been one of the hardest on the Tigers, schedule, and necessitated severe training in the early part of the sea son which was anything but beneficial to the players.

Vale and Penn.

Yale and Penn, as remarked be- fore, have paid the penalty of their long years of success. They have paid 10 the limit The price was high. But now they are to profit again for the pungs and sorrows they have known. What they have been through in the last few years will have it's effect. Through defeat and hard luck they are sure to come out strengthened and ready, either by next fall or the year after.
 You can bank upon it to a certainty that both Yale and Penn. next fall will be we'll on their way back. They may not beat Harvard and Cornell. But the margin will be closer than it has been for some time.

The Law of the Game.

Men-teams-and nations all grow
 great By pain, defeat and sacrifice: Hard Luck alone is Triumph's mate, Defeat brings in the greater prize; Conquest is sWeet--but out the year The day of reckoning is near. Today the winners take their place; Nor heed the softness of their hearts Hut by tomorrow in the race Their roles have dropped to minor
 parts; How soon the new King comes to
 reign Trained by Hard Luck and paced by
 Pain.
