YALE FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
North Carolina and Amherst Added TO
1917 When Lehigh and Washington,
and jefferson are Dropped.

New Haven, Jan. 27.-Two new
schedule for next season, according to
the official list of games released for
publication today. The new teams
Amherst and North Carolioa--replace
Lehigh and Washingt il effer3on,
whccc elimination from the Yale
schedule was forecasted two months
ago. Nine games are included on the
schedule, eight of which will be
played in the Yale Bowl. The first
game will be played here with Car
nes;e Tech on September 20, while
the final contest will be played with
Harvard at Cambridge on November
-. All OF the games are scheduled
for Saturday afternoons.
The schedule, while not as attrac-
tive as that of last fall, conforms
with Va'e plan to book al. ea.'cr list
of games for the coming season. Last
fall, it will be recalled, Yale endured
one Of the hardest schedules in years
but, nevertheless, came through with
eight victories against one defeat.
North Carolina, which plays here
the Saturday previous to the Brown
game, has never opposed the ELS
in football heretofore. The game
was suggested by DR.. Brides line
coach at Yale.
Amherst has not played Yale since
1900 when Ted Coy's famous eleven

tho Ellis were held down to 6 I'd 0
81 ore. Amherst had a regular pare
on Yales schedule UP 10 1901 but
since that time there has been long
lapse between games. Amherst it
is interesting to note, never scored
against Yale. Under the new rules
system Amherst, like any other
minor college team, can be expected
to cause Yale trouble. The schedule:
September 29-Carnegie.

The Call of Florida.

Florida has begun of late to call
the player with an increasingly lur-
ing voice.
Among those who now seek this
state are Fred Merkle, Larry Doyle
and Jimmy Archer. They put in
hard working, laborious winter here
golfng, automobiling and fishing,
combination that at least two or three
people in the country would be will
ing to follow if properly coaxed.
You can judge from the above the
rugged cruelty of winter occupation
for most of the leading players. There
are many of them. not stars, who
need winter work to exc out an ex-
istence. For every ball player in
the world doesn't get $4,000 a year.
The $4,000 birds are merely the ones
you hear about. The others don't
happen to make fancy reading, but
for all that they have to live. Just
what most of these leading players
have in mind when they quit the
game Is another matter. Most of
them have no particular idea of quit
ting soon, and when they do they
hope to have enough sailed to drift
along without INDUCING themselves
in the daily grind. Life for those
who haven't saved or who haven't
had a chance to save Is not so easy
after they finish. 1t is no light as
! signment to be tossed upon bleak
world when one is thirty-fv without
| having been trained to do anything
except hit catch and throw a base
! ball, worthy accomplishments on a
ball field, but of no particular use in
a clothing store, grocery emporium
or a hardware shop.

The Star Lines.

The star side lines are operated by
Charley Herzog and Frank Baker.
both own Maryland farms, and Her
zog has one of the best in the coun-
try. The Giant star has farm at
R1dgely Md, upon which he produces
everything except the rubber tree and
parsley He handles his farm just as
ne plays baseball, which means that
ne something more than makes good.
Frank Baker had a farm good enough
to quit an $4,000 job for, and the
average earnest athlete isn't jumping
an $4,000 job just for the innate
pleasure of the leap.
Otis Crandall is another ball player
farmer with tidy tract of land to
surround his old age

FOOTBALL PROFITABLE
Financial Statement Issued at Cornell
Shows Gridiron Contests to Have
Reaped Golden Harvest.

Ithaca, N. Y, Jan. 27.-The finan-
cial statement of the Cornell Univer-
sity Athletic association for the sea-
son of 1915-16 shows a balance of a
little over $1,70O. Receipts were
O1,9S2.17 and expenditures $780,
28O.70. Football was the only one of
the four major sports which proved
a money maker. The receipts from
gridiron games amounted to s4s,615
and the expenses of the squad were
only s29,986. Baseball showed a de-
ficit of close to $4,000: track athlet-
les of $4,000 and rowing of $1,000.
More than $4,000 was received
from membership dues to the c. L.

You might think that out of the

night in the games of the Young

himself and Sidney Leslie, formerly

NIatty and Eyers.

Christy Mathewsoa once partook of
the insurance business, and later
took a running shot at vaudeville.
But for the most of it Matty has given
up any winter league side line ex-
cept a few rounds of golf. Johnny
Evers has attempted no side line after
his rasping luck with a shoe store,
save that of waiting at odd moments
in the winter. Johnny plans to de-
vote himself later on to the art,
science, industry or recreation of
writing sport, and with his keen
judgment he should make a winner.
Both Matty and Evers are well
fixed, Matty especially so, with no
gray days ahead when they decide to
leave baseball fiat on its circular back

Tv loses little time in picking the

once in Augusta he loses little time
in rounding up his dogs in pursuit of

Is the motion picture industry, and
there is no strong likelihood of his
attempting that again. Ty is a first

class golfer. He plays left handed
and has slice that would make the

A winter league fan of an inquiring
turn of mind desir j. to know what
leading ball players do through the
off season by way of employment or
recreation.
Most of the leading ball players,
the high salaried entries, do quite a
bit more by way of recreation than
by way of employment in the so
called marts or highways of barter,
labor or trade. The financial emolu-
ments they receive from April to
october are more than sufficient to
disperse the wolf from the door and
still leave bit of change in reserve.
