VIRGINIA TO GET DATE
BEFORE YALE CONTEST
Orange and Blue to Meet Harvard
Crimson Next Year the Latter
Part OF November.

Baltimore, Md. Dec. 6.-Harvard
may not play Cornell next fall. &C
cording to Charley Brickley. coach Of
the Hopkins 1915 team, who was in
Baltimore last evening. Brickley Is
in the coal business in Boston. and
was en- route to Johnstown, Pa. where
some OF the coal mines are located.
He says the Harvard schedule will
be considerably different from that Of
the recent season. Bowdoin will get
the opening date, Colby will be drop
ped. and Boston College. Brickley's
own team. which he coached success
fully this year. will be given the sec
ond game. Brown will be played
earlier. and 1t Is probable that Vir-
ginia will get the date just before
the Yale game. II Cornell is dropped.
the Crimson schedule will be much
gradual development of the players
than in the past three years.
"A weak rush line" was Brickley's
summing UP OF the reason for Har-
wards defeat by Yale.
I'VE had a pretty fair backheld,
he said. ''but they couldn't get started.
Those Yale forwards broke up most
of the plays before they got fairly
under way. Next year Harvard should
have a fine team. In the backfield.
the material looks the best
in years Besides the present string
we will get four or Ave good men
from the freshman squad and Boies.
Enright and Fry from the ineligibles.
The first two were stars in 1915 and
Fry was Pitts brilliant fullback In
1915. The freshman line was very
good and should bolster the weak
spots to a great extent"
Brickley will coach Boston College
again next fall. The authorities up
there were very well satisfied with
his work. Only two games were lost,
those to Dartmouth and Tufts. and
the latter team was held to small
score. Holy Cross, the traditional
rival. was defeated for the first time
in many years.

Pollard is only youngster as foot

BAUER TO CAPTAIN
BENEO|CT|NE TEAM
Ever Experienced BY Cadet
Eleven.

John Bauer. who played star
game at quarterback this season for
the Cadets. was yesterday elected cap
tain Of the 1917 Benedictine College
football eleven. He was unanimously
selected for the position by the let
ter" men.
This was Bauer's first year on the
Benedictine team. he having played
quarterback on the John Marshall sec
ond eleven last season. Johnnie Is a
heady little player. despite the fact
that he is not overburdened with
avoirdupois. and he was one of the
Cadets mainstays in the backheld
during this season. His head work
played a very important part In Bene-
defines success on the gridiron.
That Benedictine Is going to have a
good football team next season Is a
fact well known. only two men will
be lost to the eleven. they being Asher
and Schaill. Asher played only few
games this year. having to quit about
the middle of the season because Of
the fact that his parents objected.
The letter" men who will be back
next season are: Hafiin. captain OF
this years team, halfback: Captain
elect Bauer, quarterback; 8. SAVIOUR,
halfback: Klevasahl. fullback and
tackle: Keller. E SAVIOUR and
OKeefe, ends Moore and Wood
tackles; Noite, guard; and Roster,
center.
Despite the fact that the team was
light and inexperienced, the showing
made by the eleven this year was a
most creditable one. Coach Robert
Amos deserves much credit for de-
Veloping such formidable eleven.
and there is a strong probability OF
him being retained next season. He
worked hard over the team and he
made the men under him work.
The Cadets lost only one game dur
ing The season, that being to the
crack John Marshall eleven by n score
OF IL TO 0. One OF the OUTSTANDING
features of the Cadets struggles on
the gridiron was the playing of Keller
on the end. This youngster was. with
out doubt, one OF the best ends in
the city, and with one more year OF
prep. school football, he will make
ZONE college a valua BILE man. He Is
hut sixteen years old and he has every
sarmark of a great foothai player
| Every man on the team deserves IA
lot OF credit for all OF them played
consistent football throughout the
season.

.FOLGER ONE OF BEST
Of SOUTHERN PLAYERS

Anybody who picks an all-Southern
eleven and leaves off it Folger. of
North Carolina would do well to take
another guess. Folger was one of the
best ail-round backs in the South In
1915. while a member of the Univer-
sity of South Carolina eleven, and this
year he has played even better foot
ball. Northern critics, following Caro-
lina's game with Harvard. gave Fol-
ger unstinted praise. In the contests
Carolina has played with other South
ern elevens Folger has been the par
ticular star of the Tarheels' offense.
Against the University of Virginia he
was pretty near the whole show"
and II was he who made the one
touchdown Of the struggle after a run
OF fifty-two yards through the entire
Virginia eleven.
The three greatest ground gaining
backs in the South seem to be Strup-
per. of Georgia Tech; Gilroy, of
Georgetown; and Folger, OF Caro-
lima. Each did wonderful work for
his team, leading the individuals in
every particular. This trio, with Curry,
OF Vanderbilt. for quarter, would
prove a wonderful combination, per.
haps the best the South ever has pro.
duced.

JIMMY DORIAN ARRIVES
IN CALIFORNIA MAIL
Visitor From the Golden West Brings
Along Six Donkcys and They All
Chew Tobacco.

Jimmy Doran, who is making a trip
across the continent with a six
cylinder. ls49 model affair. TO which
he refers as the California Fast
Mail" arrived in Richmond yester
day afternoon.
Doran's machine is not regular
one, for IL consumes neither gasoline
nor oil. and never goes over thirty
miles day on high gear. Doran has
never been placed under arrest for ex-
ceeding the speed limit, but he has
twice been taken into custody for fall
ing TO move faster. The machine was
made out OF six Mexican Fords. bet
ter known in some places as Pikes
Peak elevators, The self-starter Ia
made OF a stick and a piece of leather.
while the horn used is large cow
bell
In other words the machine is
nothing more than six donkeys, an
swering to the names OF Mutt, jeff,
Spareribs, Graeey, Hans and Fritz.
Doran started away from San Fran
cisco with his donkeys three years
ago He says that no one will steal
them. he can't give them away, so he
will have to hang on to them until
his journey comes to an end. All of
them chew tobacco. which. he de-
clares. is their only bad habit. Doran
says that his trip across the contin-
ent Is a patience and endurance test.
He will be in Richmond for two
weeks. and during that time he ex-
poets to secure the services of a first
class photographer. whom he desires
to take with him. Anyone desiring
the position can communicate with
him at the Moose club.
Dcran is looking for a wife-don't
crowd, girls. for he will be here for
two weeks. He declares that after
handling six donkeys for three years
he feels well qualified to take upon
himself a wife and nice, peaceful
mother-in-law.

HARVARD FAvOR|NG
CHANGES IN RULES

Cambridge. Mass, Dec. 6.-Har-
ward favors making the customary
football periods contain so many plays
rather than terminate at given
time. This attitude is not taken be-
cause of the declaration that the first
period of the recent Harvard Yale
game was cut short almost FIVE min
utes. The members of the football
committee at Harvard have long
favored the idea and Fred w. Moore.
Harvard's representative on the rules
committee, is expected to suggest
such a change at the next meeting OF
the organization. Percy u. Haugh-
ton today expressed himself heartily
In favor of the scheme. Such rul-
ing would prevent several abuses of
the game. most notably playing for
time. Golf and baseball are pointed
out as sports which are not governed
by the time clock.

COACHES SHOULD NOT
PERMIT INTERFERENCE
Fraternities Naturally Look Out For Best Interests Of Mem
bers-It Is Up To Coach To See That Eleven Is Com
posed of the Best Material Available

Rumors are current that the ac-
tons of fraternities at the University
of Virginia were largely responsible
for the failure OF the Orange and
Blue football team during the past
season. 1t is further stated that III
some instances fraternity men were
given places on the team In prefer
ence to better men who did not be
long to any frat. and that next years
team will probably be built up and
controlled according to the Dictates
OF Greek letter men of the university.
However, statistics show that a ma
1ority of letter men on the football
teams of this country during the past
season were members OF one frater-
nifty or another. provided. of course.
that fraternities were in operation in
those institutions turning cut teams.
As to the replacing of fra
ternity men by less capable players
who belonged TO frats., that is a mat
ter which should be entirely within
the jurisdiction of the coach or
coaches. The coach has it as his
duty to see to it that the best avail
able material in the institution is used,
If possible, in building up his team.
and all personal and fractional CON
s'derations are supposed - be set
aside. When a non-fraternity man
Is replaced on team by fraternity
ms n who Is less capable, the fault lies
with the coach, and not with the fra
ter2uy which does all in its power to
enhance the best interests OF its mem
bers end of its organization.
Everyone Should Have Chance.
When a coach places his name to
contract he is expected to get the best
possible material in the school on the
eleven. giving all candidates q fair
chance to display their ability. wheth-
er they be sons of multi millionaires
or walters in the dining hall. He is
supposed to look out for the best
interests of the team. and place the
men according to his own judgement.
If candidate for the team who is q
member of one of the Greek letter
organizations is given position over
a player who is more capable OF fill
ing it, but who is not a frat. man, 1t
merely shows the weakness of a coach
in permitting other influences to DOM
mate the team. He is supposed 10
be In charge OF the team and should
turn deaf ears to any suggestions
which are not for the best interests
OF the eleven.
1t was stated that Interference
with coaches by fraternities amhi-
tious to have a large representation
on the eleven has demoralized ath-
letlcs at more than one college" A
coach who allows himself to be In
terfered with in selecting men for a
team isn't capable of holding the posi-
ton, and it would be for the best in
terests of a team for him to tender
his resignation.
