the western part OF the state always
suffers from the several kinds Of
worms which eat the leaves. These
come from eggs laid by innocent

MANY YALE BOYS
GO TO WAR
Evening star., 1917-01-21

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, January 20.-Minor league
players do not enter into the threat
ened strike Of the base ball players
fraternity, as at first believed. The
members of the fraternity in the ma jor
leagues are not taking their stand in
sympathy with the smaller fry, but
solely to prevent a wholesale cutting
of salaries that is taking place. This
was ascertained from a trustworthy
source who disclosed the fact that the
aim is to have the wartime contracts
continued.
Few clubs. if any, in either the Ma
tional or American League broke bet
ter than even last season, because of
the exorbitant salaries paid the men.
The Chicago club did not make any
money. 1t was not possible with the
$145, 900 salary list of President Weegh-
man.
Every man that played on the Cub
team when it won it's last championship
in 1910 was a star. There are not many
men in the game at present who COM
pare with the old collection on the ia
nous machine In 1910 those leaders
of the game were paid excellent sala-
ries and the players themselves thought
they were given enough. But few of
them obtained any such sum as was
presented to some of the Cubs and
other players in 1915

GEORGETOWN FOOT BALL DATES
RAPIDLY ARE BEING TAKEN UP
Blue and Gray Schedules Contests October
6 and October 27 With Lebanon Valley
and Davidson-Other Sport Gossip.

Princeton teams gives 1t as the general
idea of the alumni that the Princeton
teams of today are not the Princeton
teams of old in the matter of spirit, not
ball now played. After dealing with the
weight, size. power and pure fighting
spirit of the teams of decade past here
are three excerpts from the remainder
of his article which are not only ap-
plicable to Princeton, but to almost all
foot bah teams of the present time
Il greatly admire the modern game.
appreciate the fact that it takes more
least to play it well. than it did in my
day. l even go so far as to believe
that the best Of modern elevens could
beat the best teams of the old days un-
der any set of rules; this for the ex-
cellent reason that. all other things
being equal. the youngsters of today
use their brains more than we used to
do. But | doubt whether the average
team of today could stand the gaff
long enough to beat the average eleven
of ten years or more ago. We have
become more civilized in our games,
which is to say we have become less
savage. There are rules. and officials
to enforce them, which effectually pre-
vent much of the little exchanges of
pleasantries that used to form part
of every game. The use of knees and
elbows has gone out Of fashion. Even
the tackling is done nowadays appar-
emily with the idea in the mind Of the
tackler that he must be very careful
not to injure his opponent.
There is no necessity for dirty play
in q gentlemen'S game. But there Is,
to my way of thinking. a necessity for
the hardest, toughest kind of play in
mans game. Combined with real
leadership it is productive of a team
spirit that cannot be beaten. John De
Wits team had it. Eddie Hart's team
had it. The Yale 1915 team had it.
No one of those teams We're quite
sure when they entered their cham
pionship games just how they were
going to win But they knew they
were going to win somehow, and the
hest way to 20 about winning. in their
opinion was to set about fighting. No
one of these three teams was great
eleven in the sense of technical team
proficiency The Harvard teams of 1914
and 1915 would have beaten any one Of
the three probably rather handily.
"I find myself wondering sometimes
whether the emphasis that we now
place on intelligence has not tended
10 weaken the fighting spirit Some
alumni can be found who discern a
casual connection between the abolition
TO win championships at foot ball.
Others blame il on the preceptorial sys
tenn. on the senior council, or on the
general increase of direct supervision
of the Undergraduates by the unlver-
sfty authorities At all events, what
ever be assigned as the cause. Prince
ton alumni are virtually unanimous in
the opinion that the foot ball teams of
TODAY do not fight as hard as did the
teams of old That is an Indictment
which cannot be lightly dismissed"

SURPRISE FOR c. u.
GalIaudet Quint Wins FuriousIy
Contested Game.
FINAL. SCORE is rs TO %

Gallaudet's basket ball quint sprang
surprise last night when it defeated the
Catholic University quint 25-23 in a close
and furiously contested game in the Car
roll Institute gymnasium.
The Kendall Greeners got away to
good start by virtue of some excellent
passing and dribbling on the part of the
guards coupled with the accurate shoot
ing of Schowe.
The small court, although the home
floor Of the Brooklanders. was used to
advantage by the visitors. who were ever
ready to take a chance for the basket
from anywhere on the floor. A. wenger,
jumping center for Gallaudet. Gagged two
from well past the center of the court.
Catholic University resorted almost en-
tirely to working the ball well beneath
the basket before attempting a shot, but
the defensive play of the Kendall Green
ers' guards was too strong to make this
style of attack effective.
