The inundated territory forms a
side, with the apex at Dona di Piave.
The enemy has been driven back, but
still held on within this triangle until
the dykes from both rivers released
the water over the low lying plain.
The chief menace at that point was
that the enemy might be able to ap-
proach Venice through the lagoon or
lombard the city from his position
between the rivers. The inundation
interposes a barrier of water IL miles
across and several feet deep.

Eli Playground
Most Elaborate
In This Country

New Haven, March 24.-When all the
improvements are completed at the new
Yale Field, in the vicinity of the Yale
Bowl, the New Haven university will
have the most elaborate playground for
undergraduate athletic activity Of any
college in this country. Plans have al
ready been made for new clubhouse
which will be thrown open for gen
eral use.
1t is the plan of the college officials
TO furnish a college playground which
will be available for all. Every student
is invited to take up and ENJOY any
pastme he chooses.
Dean Jones in a recent communica-
ton TO "The Yale News" about the
project said: "The committee OF the
Yale alumni appointed to. investigate
the proper development of Yale Fleid
reported that the newly acquired prop
ertv should be used for the benefit OF
the entire body Of Yale students rather
than for the training Of the members
of particular teams with view to their
participation in intercollegiate contests.
The recommendation Of the committee
was a direct answer to the criticism
that Yale athletic facilities were main
tanned for the use Of a comparatively
small number Of major sports candi-
dates and not for the physical develop
ment of the rank and file Of the stu-'
dents at the university.
accordingly, the new Yale Field
has been planned as great play
ground for all who desire outdoor rec
Teation and exercise. The new club
house to be erected is designed for
general use. There will be lockers,
not by the dozen. for football squad or
baseball team. but by the thousand;
every man at Yale, whether undergrad
uate, professional school man or fac
uItv member, will have opportunity
and encouragement to use the field and
its equipment.
'This is quite as it should be. A
student may not have the physique to
make the crew. but should not be de-
barred from the healthful and ENJOY.

men will derive benefit and pleasure
from diamond and gridiron even
though they may not furnish a single

New Athletic
Field Planned
For Brown Boys

Providence, March 24.-The recent
purchase by Brown University Of i'll
teen acres Of land on Cole Avenue and
the appointment by President Faunce
OF an alumni committee OIL ways and
means" marks the first step toward the
much desired new athletic field when
il is now hoped will become an actual
fact within a comparatively short time
Brown athletics have been sorely IN
need of new quarters for the last dozen
wears and never more so than last fali
when on Thanksgiving Day almost as
many people we're turned away as were
able to secure tickets for the Brown
Colgate football game. The more serl-
Gus objection to Andrews Field, how
ever. is that its limited size does not
Give opportunity for more than one
team. either football or baseball, TO use
it at the same time.
President Faunce. in appointing the
field committee, said: Brown must
have something more adequate tnan
Andrews Field for the great games OF
the year. Last spring, in order 10 ac-
commodate the crowds, We were obliged
10 90 to Bridgeport and negotiate Tor
seats once used by P. T. Barnum.
"The city of Providence. as well as
the university, has much at stake IN
the matter. Does the city want to see
the largest universities Of the country
coming here for football games?
Would that mean anything for the
growth and progress of the city, for

facturers? have received a most cor

Chief Bender
Helping Coach
Penn Pitchers

Philadelphia, March "a. - Chief
Charles A. Bender, the famed Indian
pitcher, who was the star of the Ath-
letics, has come to Franklin Field to
assist the pitchers of the University Of
Pennsylvania in preparing for the COM
ing baseball season.
Bender has not signed with any
league club, but desired to tune up, and
he asked Coach Roy Thomas if he cared
to have him drill along with the Red
and Blue hurlers. Thomas jumped at
the chance to avail himself Of the ser
vices of the man about whom Connie
Mack once said:
'If I had one game TO win, and all
that had on that game, of all the
pitchers / have had or seen Bender
would be my selection" The chief is
now acting as umpire daily, and he
coaches the Penn pitchers as the bat
tiers come up to hit.
With Chief Bender toiling- with
Johnny Titzel, Ad Swigler, Dan Hafner,
Steve Cromwell. Harry Bauer and Wal
ter Bernhard. the pitching stall seems
to be able to take care of itself, though
IL needs 70 be under fire in Yale,

fore its real merit can be ascertalned.

Metcalf Likely
To Be Retained
Columbia Coach

The selection of the coaching stan
for Columbia University's football
team will be made some time this week,
il the plans of the committee in charge
are carried through as scheduled. u
is almost an assured fact that T. Nell
son Metcaf will be retained in the ca
pacity Of head coach, position which
ne has held for two years. Ike Teller,
coach Of the ends, is also held in high
esteem at Columbia, apd il Is probable
that he will hold his position, but un-
less all indications carry far TO wind
ward a new line coach will De chosen.
Popular sentiment at Columbia is IN
favor of appointing Tom Thorpe,
former star of Columbia teams and an
All-America tackle, coach of the line
men. 1t is probable that he will be
selected. Thorpe assisted with the line
last year for a while. He coached the
Fordham team for several seasons and
developed many good men.
Columbia men are in favor OF
Thorpe" said a man who has been
closely identified with Columbia ath-
letics for some time. ale was a star
in his college days and knows football
thoroughly. He was always fighting,
aggressive player, firm believer in ag-
gressive football, and that is the sort
Of game that wins. Our line failed 70
play its game last year, and for that
reason the rest of the team showed to
sad disadvantage.
with Thorpe in charge, the Column
bia linemen will play different sort
of game altogether" continued this
man. at has long been accepted IN
football that the linemen must check
o charging back before the latter comes
to the scrimmsge line in order to pre-
vent a gain. No line that waits can
hope 70 accomplish this. The player
who charges, blocks the openings and
then finds the play is generally su-
yerior to the man who waits 20 dis
cover the direction Of the attack and
then advances to meet 1t.
an addition TO his unquestionable
knowledge of football, Thorpe is a nat
ural leader and a man we'll qualified
TO handle men. He has been popular
wherever he worked, and that is a most
desirable asset"
