GRIDIRON SPORT MIGHT DIE
Effect OF Action Of Yale, Harvard and
Princeton Is PuzzIing to
Football Fans.

The fact that Yale, Princeton and
Harvard, recognized as the leaders in
football, have suspended activities on
the gridiron for the duration of the
war, has set the devotees of the game
TO thinking. The universal question
of those interested in the matter is:
What ultimate effect will this have
on the sport pursued by the smaller
colleges?
Is football to die until after the war
or will those who have the sports in
terest at heart bring strong enough
pressure to bear for its conservation
Action by the big Three" in cancel
ing their schedules is patriotic indeed.
it is true. but there is probably some
practical method obtainable which will
give the young collegian a chance to
indulge in his favorite autumn sport.
Football should not be allowed to die
a natural death when means can be
adopted for its preservation. 1t is
part of every college man's life, and
without Its moral and physical effect
he will suffer.

President Comiskey won't be caught
short again in case his White Sox get
into another worlds series. He ha
announced that the gaps in the stands
and bleachers at his Chicago park are
to be filed, making a continuous line
of stands around the field, except
where the score board is located, and
increasing the seating capacity to As
600. The work will be done before
the 1918 season opens and will give
Commy the greatest seating capacity
In the major leagues. The 1000 addi-
tional box seats built for the worlds
series also will be permanent, and are
part of the plan to make Comiskey
park the biggest and handsomest in
the world.

When Smiling Mary Browne car
ried off the honors from Miss Molla
Bjurstedt in the two months Red
Cross series, she was given the unofTi-
eial crown of worlds greatest tennis
player" among the feminine leaders.
In series which called for endur-
ance as well as ability, which includ-
ed 20 matches, So sets and $50 games,
she had Outplayed her rugged Morse
rival, who for two years had held the
United States title and who was spo-
ken of as the worlds champion"
Her victory included 10 matches to
II, 81 sets to %, and 282 games to
254 for her scandinavian rival.
If we add to this total the victory
of Miss Browne over Miss Biurstedt in
the EastWest series last March, the

there was little difference between
Miss Bjurstedt and Miss Browne, the
question of the womens national SUI
premacy was not confined to these two,
but should include May Sutton-Bundy.
Won English Title Twice.
Mrs. Bundy. as May Sutton, won the
national championship in 1904 at an
age said to have been under eighteen.
Thereafter she forfeited her United
States championship rights in order to
go abroad and play in the womens
"All-eomers' and national champion
ship, in England. The last she won
twice; once in 1905 and again in 1907
Her marriage to the well-known ten
mis- player, T. C. Bundy, partner of
"Comet" Mclaughlin, as national
doubles champion, has since removed
her from the competitive field. She
has not been in the rankings for sew
eral years.
But it is not to be considered that
Mrs. Bundy is out of the running, by
any means. We have two recent
lines" on this wonderful woman
player, of whom it was said at one
time that there were not over dozen
men in the United States able to de-
feat her.
Two years ago Mrs. Bundy and Miss
Bjurstedt played three matches, exhi-
bition. two of which were won by the
American girl. This year, in the East
West series, her superiority was shown
again in series of three matches as
follows:
Mrs. Bundy defeated Miss Blur
stedt, rs, 81.
Miss Browne defeated Miss Blur
stedt, rs, 60.
Mrs. Bundy defeated Miss Browne,
49, 6-3.
Here is a direct line and a new one
and events have since justified the con-
clusion that the proper ranking of the
three best players in the world to-
day is:
No. Mrs. May Sutton Bundy.
No. 2-Miss Mary K. Browne.
No. 3-Miss Molla Bjurstedts

coaches in the country. has charge
of all the teams including the fresh
man team, and he is the dictator alb
Solute.
The use of big coaching stats has
been prevalent in the East for a num-
Der of years and, despite the old adage
that two or three heads are better
than one, the real value of big staff
has been an open argument. In the
West one high-salaried coach has been
considered sufficient by many schools
for number of years, though the ad
vice offered by old grads, who have
given their services gratis, has general
ly been welcome.
Large Coaching Stats.
The great number of players who
have turned out for the football teams
at the larger universities during the
past few years have been responsible
for the introduction of large coaching
stats, for it is difficult for one coach
to devote much time to the individual
player where the field is so large.
But Pennsylvania is going to try
the plan out and it will be watched
with a great deal of interest by schools
throughout the country.
