mlSS0ULl PEOPLE
PRAISE WILSON'S
PROFIT LETTER

Missoula people apparently are
unanimous in their approval of Presi-
dent Wilson's avowal that excessive
profits will not be allowed by the gov
eminent. The presidents letter. print
ed In The Muscular yesterday MORN
Ing. provoked a great deal Of favorable
comment. No single statement issued
since this country entered the war has
caused more of a stir and few public
acts in recent years have won the
hearty approval given yesterday to
Wilson's preface to price regulation.
A few interviews with representative
Missoula citizens follow:
F. A. SlLCOx.-'It seems to me that
President Wilson's letter indicates a
fundamental change in the philos-
ophy of American industrialism. APP
parently our point of view has
shifted, for in moving for lower
prices the president substitutes serv.
ice for profits as an incentive. The
intimation is that the government will
control prices with the understand
ing that service is higher than gain.
Logically this leads to the question
If this theory is sound in time of
war. why is 1t not sound In time of
peace" To me the important thing
about the presidents statement is
the evidence it seems to give of this
fundamental change in point Of
view"

REV. CHARLES b. CROUCH, pastor
First Methodist e Episcopal church,
President Wilson's letter is along
the right line. l had lost a great
deal of confidence in the president
on account of his attitude toward
the food control bill He asked the
w. {. +. L. and the Anti Saloon
league to withdraw their pressure
upon congress for patriotic reasons
but he did not ask the brewers to do
likewise. For the administration to
send out postcards asking the women
of the country to save a slice of
bread II day while the brewers are
using barley enough to give every
American family a loaf of bread
daily is nonsense. But the presj-
dents letter is good. If anything
can be done to stop this mania fo,
high prices (and it is nothing more)
1t should be done at once"

BOlstering the Attack.

There have been many suggestions offered as to how the attack can be improved.
 The suggestion involving a change in the present distances from base to base or any part thereof will hardly be considered
 There are other less drastic ways that will appeal to the fan. As, per example, to improve batting: 1. The elimination of the spitball and kim dred devices. (Why should 8 player be allowed to chew upon the cover of a ball, any more than he should be allowed to dip it in a bucket of waterD 2. To have the foul strike regulation apply, only to the first strike, thereby leaving the batsman two healthy wallops for his hit. 3. A rule providing that g. base on balls shall advance also each runner upon the bases at the time. aa
 This would be sufficient for 8 testing start and would undoubtedly make for 8 stronger, more interesting at tack.
 To improve base running 1t is only necessary to have a stricter enforce ment of the balk rule, or a new balk rule that will give the base runner op- portunity to get fair lead off first
 These changes are not drastic in any way; they could be easily made, and the improvement would bring a certain welcome from nine fans out of ten. ......s

 Yale men only. Following the theas
 trical performance another dinner will
 be served at the club.

MINORS FACE EXTINCTION.
Tearney Asks Heads of Baseball Leagues to Confer Tomorrow.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-A. R. Tearney, president of the Three I League last night invited President E. w. Dicker- son of the Central League, F. c. Zeh- rung of the Western League, M. E. Justice of the Central Association and James T. Hayes, owner of the Daven- port club of the Three I League to meet in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Jan. 10 for a conference regarding internal affairs within their organizations.
 MT. Tearney is convinced that some of the minor leagues in the Central West face further financial loss and possibly extinction unless radical changes are made before the start of the 1917 season. He hopes to bring about a redistricting of territory in the four leagues. He contends that at least one, and possibly two, of the leagues will not be able to start the season unless changes are made. There is to be meeting of the Gen. tral Association club owners in Cedar Rapids on the date of the proposed conference.

BANKHART TO QUIT
Unofficial Report States That Colgate's s Most Successful Football Mentor Will Enter Into Business.

Hamilton, N Y., Jan. 9.-Dr. Ellery Huntington, director of the Col gate athletic teams, has not made any official announcement yet relative to the return of Larry Bankhart as coach of the football team, but it was learned last night through an au- thoritative source that Bankhart will not come back.
 The athletic board of Colgate voted Bankhart 8 substant tial increase in salary, but the offer was refused. The board then made a second offer, said to be larger than any college coach in the country, except Percy Haughton, is receiving at the present time, but that also was declined
 After these two offers were refused, ,Dr. Huntington, through the athletic board, asked Bankhart to name his terms to continue, but Bankhart, it is learned will not coach in 1917 as he has decided to enter business in Lynn, Mass.
 Bankhart was graduated from Dart mouth in 1910. He played college football for four years after com pleting his course at Exeter.
 Bankhart coached Colgate in 1910, was assistant to CaVanaugh of Dart mouth in 1911 and returned to Coll gate in 1912.

BROWN KEEPS BOBBY
Football Coach Ofixes His J. H. to q Three Year Contract-Ncxt Years Prospects Very Bright

Providence, R. I. Jan. 9-Edward N. Robinson of Boston yesterday re- newed his contract with the Brown Athletic Association and will continue to coach the Brown football eIeycns for the next three years.
 Robinson has been coaching at Brown since 1900, with the exception of two breaks Of two years each. In 1902 and 1903 he coached at Ne braska, and in 1908 and 1909 he coached the Tufts eleven. Previous to coming to Brown, he coached at Exeter during the time that Tad Jones was a student at. that school. Later he put in a year at the Univer- sity of Maine, in charge of football and baseball.
 Robinson was graduated from Brown in 1896, and during his col lege days won his letter in both base ball and football He has been ex- tremeIy successful with his Brown elevens, the climax coming this last Fall, when he developed the best team that ever represented the Provi- dence institution, a team that went to the last game before having it's goal line crossed.
 Losing only five men from his squad of sixty, the prospects for the com- ing year are the brightest in the his- tory of football at Brown. Robinson is a lawyer, practicing in Boston. The assistant coach has not yet been chosen. Earl Sprackling, the all- American back, who has filled that position for the last three years, may not be able to accept again on ac- count of business.

No one can say just yet what changes in behalf of the attack the rule makers of baseball will an- nounce.
 But here are two self-evident facts to consider:
 1. Baseball, in the main, is played for the money the fan deposits at the box office. Nine fans out of ten esteem an attack that consists of hard hitting and daring base running as the most pleasing feature of the game.
 2. In the last few years the attack in place of advancing, has fellen badly away, until the defense undoubtedly controls the game today. If this isn't the basis for desired change in the present order, then conclusive evil dence isn't worth three whoops in Grandoldgehenna.

PENN TO MEET WEST POINT
Quakers Only Team of Big Eastern Eleyens to Respond to Invitation of Cadets-Sohedule is Arranged.

West Point, N. Y., Jan. 9.-Impor- tant announcements were made yes- terday in connection with the pub Hcation of the Army's football sched- ule for next fall. Chief among the new features will be a game at West Point with the University of Pennsyl- Nania on Oct. 6. Only the Quakers of the big Eastern teams responded to the Army's Invitation to come to West Point for a game this year. Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Syracuse. Dartmouth and Colgate were all asked for d meeting, but without success
 Penn has been here only once be- fore. In 1901 the Army played the Quakers on the "plains' and trounced them soundly by the score of "A to 0. Charley Daily, now head coach of the Army eleven, was quarterback on the cadets team that year.
 It was also announced that a home and-home contest with one of the big Eastern universities would be an an- nual feature of Army football in the future. Permission has been granted to the cadets to go away every year for a game in another city. AS Penn Is the first to respond to the Army's invitation, 1t is likely that the sol- d1ers will go to Franklin Field for g. game with Bob Folwelrs pupils in 1918. A similar arrangement will be sought by the West Point manage ment for return games with Harvard, Yale, Princeton or Cornell
 It is the Army's turn this, year to choose a site for the Navy game, by terms of the agreement with the An- napolis football authorities, and the West Pointers will name the Polo Grounds in New York for next Falls Army-Navy battle.
 The schedule follows: '
