Harvard Plans
Football Team
For Next Fall
Has Plenty of Promising
Material in Prospect
Despite War

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 6.-Foot-
ball will be played next fall at Har-
ward on the same basis as the spring
sports, unless some momentous deci-
sion is made to turn the university
into complete military camp under
government control. In summing UP
the prospects for football team, some
consideration must be given to the
possibility of players under age leav-
ing college before fall for some service
where their youthfulncss will not pre-
vent them from getting in the big
scrap.
Fishback, Woods, Thorndike, Rud-
man and Steele, of the informal eleven
last fall, are not expected to return
to college. For Fishback's position at
centre, Bill Hoffman, one of the SUBJ
stitutes, is available, and the fresh
men are sending up trim youngster
IN Charley Havemeyer, who held the
position all fall for 1921 Phil Zach,
left guard on the informals, may be
back, but the 1921 team also has some
sweet talent to offer in Olmsted and
Bob Sedgwick. Carl Stillman, right
guard on the freshmen with his
brother Ella. back, are completing ar
engagements to enter the Royal Flying
Corps.
Other Clever Players Expected
Woods and R1dman played clever
football for the ;nformals. Faxon, the
freshman captain, and rockingham, a
fine chunk of BOY, should show up
we'll. Holmes, another freshman, will
bear watching.
Anderson, Hank King, Jim CASTOR
and George Lee, ell of whom earned
their letters as freshmen, should be
on hand again, while Whitney, of the
informals, and Eric McCouch are upper
class men figured in the running.
jeff Coolidge, Bob Hoffman, Ben
Blanchard and Captain Horween, the
informal backfield, are all expected
to return this fall. Wales and Jenney
are freshmen who will be heard from
al quarterback, while Mcdonnell, Hamil
ton, Humphrey and Lothrop are first
year backs who must be reckoned with
No Harvard freshman since Brickley
has shown the all-around cleverness of
Humphrey. and under such conditions
as Charley and Ned Mahan enjoyed
this young freshman might earn sim
liar laurels for himself before he is
graduated.
No selection of Il coach or staff will
be made until few weeks before the
opening of the season. The schedule

Grounds.
Would Create Major Fans
The Bronx people advance sound ar
guments. They believe a new Inter
national League club in The Bronx
would educate fans for the big time
leagues rather than to detract patron
age. They point out that their bor-
ough. which is growing rapidly, has
much greater population than had
Brooklyn years after it was represent
ed in the National League. They be-
lieve 25-cent and 50-cent baseball would
not attract those citizens who have
been educated to major prices.
TO establish a club in The Bronx it
will be necessary for the prospective
hackers to have the owners of the
Giants and Yankees waive territorial
rights. Such possibility does not

Under present conditions The Bronx
furnishes the loophole. for The Bronx

Political End Easy
If the new International League covets

the president. the ideal man to handle
the necessary politics. Mr.. Farrell is
not only one of the shrewdest and most
far-sightcd men of professional base
ball, but one of the most capable

Columbia Nine
Badly Beaten
By Holy Cross

The Holy Cross baseball team, with
Gill in the box, continued its winning
streak yesterday afternoon by trounc-
ing Columbia, 10 to l, on South Field
A home run and three-bagger by
O'Neill in the fifth and sixth innings,
respectively, driving in several runs
each time, combined with the fine Twill
ing of Gill, were entirely too much for
the local collegians.
For four innings Tommy Farrell,
Columbia's premier pitcher, held the
Holy Cross nine to one hit and one run,
made by Bowen, the centre fielder In
the fifth inning Farrell went to pieces
and passed five men. O'NeilI came to
bat with two on bases and knocked a
clean home run far out in centre field,
bringing in the three runs which
started the end for Columbia Dona-
hue, the Holy Cross shortstop, con-
tinued the pace and brought in Maloney
on two-bagger, scoring the fourth
run.
Columbia Pitchers Weak
The only branch of the game in
which Holy Cross especially outshone
the Morningside nine was in pitching.
Gill remained strong through nine in
nings, while Columbia's pitchers were
being hit right and left. Coach Coax
ley switched Johnny Hauck from third
base to the pitchers box in the sixth,
but the opposing batters were flushed
with victory, and knocked in three runs
in the sixth and two in the seventh.
Herb Koenig, who had been held
out because of an injury to his leg,
was tried and held the Holy Cross
batters down in the last two innings.
Off. his delivery they failed to get more
than d double, which was safely stop
ped on third.
The strong section of the Holy Cross
batting order with ONell, Bowen,
Maloney and Donahue formed more
dangerous combination than the hard
hitting infield of Columbia could mus
ter. Gill allowed only two hits in the
whole game.
