lege graduate, a smart lad in every
respect and considered in st. Louis
as an ideal man for the job. If Field
er Jones is doomed to go and from the
talk Of the fans in st. Louis 1t seems
likely, perhaps Sisler would make an
acceptable successor.
The Rutgers college team has
made big strides since the defeat by
Syracuse. Only one man on the team
against the heavy Orange eleven
some of them were affected with
stage fright and did not do them
selves justice. The experience was
valuable, however, and since that
time they have measured up to the
line Of Rutgers teams in former years.
With Gray at center, Newschaffer and
Rollins as guards, Capt. Kendall and
Feitner as tackles and Robson ana
Breckley on ends, Coach Sanford be-
lieves that he has struck a winning
combination. The backfield, too, Is
extremely well balanced with White
hill and Gardner to buck the line,
Kelly for short end plays and Baker
for the wider end runs.
Among many others who have
been mentioned as the boss to be
picked for the Cardinals next season,
now that Miller Higgins has left,
is Jack Hendricks, who managed In
champs last season. If there's one
minor league manager above all 9TH

Hendricks.

Jim Rice, coach of Columbia's
crews, tells a story. of a football
player in an eastern college who was
pressed into service as an oarsman.
The first day the embryo oarsman re-
ported for practice 1T seemed that
everything re did was wrong. He
had been assigned to row No. in
the boat, and all he heard from the
coach during the afternoon was:
Hey, No. 5, you ,bonehead! Don't
hold your oar like that" or "No. S!
How many times do l have to tell
you not 10 place your feet like THAR!
The following day he was moved
down one position in the boat, but
didn't do any better, and the coach
naERed at him continually. That
night a friend asked him how he was
getting along with his rowing.
well" he replied, II had tough
time the FIRST day and got bawled out
a lot, but did fine today. feel
sorry for No. 4, whoever he is. be-
cause the coach rode him to beat the
band today"
The EngIishers never seem will

of a real sport at all. 1t just seems

baseball to be as much of a game
for the spectators as for the player.
The spectator is to rise to his feet
at Intervals and shout in the most
frenzied way. There is more or less
truth in the idea, but when the
spectators in London didn't know how
to do the thing they thought expect

The average Englishman regards
baseball as a sort Of elaborated

MEMS DESIRES GOVERN
TOOMUCH. SAYS SPEAKER
The Appetite Consulted Too Often to
Make Food Conservation Thorough
Success,

Many ladies awaited themselves of
the opportunity to hear Miss Martha
Metcalf at the Mems Seminar of the
Congregational church on Sunday.
Miss Metcalf, speaking on Food
Selection, said there are two reasons
why We do not succeed better.
The first is that the women seem
to wont to give the men the things
they feel they must have at meals.
The second reason is that women
are not willing to get out of the
habit of cooking as they always have
done.
Miss Metcalf said families may
easily be fed more cheaply IL they
will only find out what articles of
food possess the same values as
wheat and meat. An effort will be
made, Miss Metcalf stated, to bring
this information to all the people.
