THREE RINGS NEXT FALL
College Elevens Are Having Difficulties in Arranging 1911
Schedules-Interest in the Middle Western Situation

7 ules is proof of that. Harvard's de-
/ sire to cut out dangerous teams until
| the Princeton and Yale games; Yale's
somewhat similar feelings; Michigan's
| consideration of entering into the Big
/ Nine conference, and the actual need
of money by many athletic associa-
| tons has caused many wonders to
. happen.
Cornell, forced out by Harvard and
threatened with the loss of its Michi-
gan game, came near facing a fnan-
cial cropper until Colgate offered a
solution which should prove fully as
interesting as the Harvard game. 1t
is especially pleasing to both colleges
because of their proximity. Dart
mouth, unfortunately situated only in
solar as games with other big colleges
is concerned, is face to face with a
financial problem. Since the Harvard
game was lost Dartmouth has been
meeting Pennsylvania, but the Boston
game, on alternate years, has not
is being made to play it at Spring
field, Mass, where Dartmouth and
Brown will meet later in the season.
Springfield Is home territory for the
Green and these games will undoubted-
ly draw as well as the Yale Harvard
affairs played there 20 years and more
ago. Dartmouth, having resumed with
Brown, is to drop Syracuse, which COL
lege in turn faces a big problem in it's
schedule making, as it is likely to lose
Michigan, a university which is rather
sure to re-enter the Big Nine confer
ence within another year. a move that
will upset schedule making again, as
II leaves Pennsylvania and Michigan
guessing as to what is to happen.
Interesting Situation.
The middle western situation is in
tcresting not alone because of the in
tention of Michigan to get back into
the fold but because the two leading
teams of this fall-Ohio State and
Northwestern-are refused games by
other conference teams. 1t makes one
wonder why they have a conference.
Ohio State made Cornell a handsome
offer to play in Columbus, but could
lot get the game.
The whole matter of guarantees is
one that needs looking into before
many seasons roll by. The larger uni
versities have, as a rule, cut the
smaller teams down to a minimum
even below actual expenses, when they
have scheduled them to play in the |
bowls, Stadiums, dens and caves !
When small college has won from a !
big one, then draws a crowd of q, 900 |
at the next game and gets all of $500 |

dropping all along the line. and the
movement is general, indicating there
IS something radically wrong with the
balance in baseball
Now, what's to be done? What
changes, not revolutionary will in
crease the probability of the base hit
and the earned run?
Here are six different ideas I have
heard advanced by various parties in

geStiOn:
''F'irst-Move first and third about
four or five feet nearer home plate
not disturbing the position of second.
Second-Eliminate the spitbalI de-
livery.
.'Third-Let the batter walk on three
balls.
'F'ourth-Have only one foul strike.
"Fifth-Have a much more drastic
balk Interpretation.
SiXth-Reduce the width of the

| Football Team.
| The grand old dope may be all right
/ but it is a poor bunch to follow al

affair at Providence on Thanksgiving
| morning. Brown was cockSure and
| figured it 4 to 1 advantage. Men
| who were as close to Colgate as grad
because OF the sure defeat the team
| was to receive. Yet Colgate won, de-
cisively.
Before that game a most amusing
bet was placed. Some wise sport wa

little sum that Brown had been beaten
this year. Brown beaten!" exclaimed
the Brunonian. why, it's shame to
take the money" TT sure is" ex-

Football Guide in which was found the
ll-but-forgotten record of Washington
State colleges 14-0 victory over Brown
at Pasadena, Cal, on New Years day,
1915.
Indeed, there is no sure thing dope.
Witness the meeting Of two young men
after the Harvard 41-0 football victory
over Yale in 1915. They were under
graduates Of the two institutions, for
mer schoo1boy chums at Andover.

graduation" said the Harvard boy.
That's good" answered the Yale
student. And" he added, nearly all
'4That is also good" retorted the
Harvard youth.
But the miracle happened. The worm
turned. Ya1e's back numbers of 1915
walIoped Harvard in 1916.
Up at New Haven they are feeling
as cockSure about next year as Har-
ward felt about this season one year
ago. Most of the veterans will be
back and there is Kempton for quar-
terback-Tad Jones' best bet at Exc
ter. Yet, in spite of all this optimism,
in spite of all the veterans. Tad Jones,
Kempton, ct al, Yale will have the
dickens Of a time turning the trick
next fall. There is absolutely nothing
ir the grand old dope. He is fake
friend of player, coach. expert and
public, and is inclined to knife one in
the back any Saturday during October
or November.

ferred by telephone with Carrigan at

The secretary added that the salary

the amount was not to be made pub

Pending final decision by Carrigan

to consider anyone else to lead the
