Decides
To. Organize
Football Team

ITHACA. N. Y. Oct. 5.-Cornell will
put some sort of a football team on
the gridiron. after all, this year, only
1T will be team made up of men
from the Student Army Training
Corps, which will be allowed limited
time to practise, and may arrange
some sort of schedule for November
games.
DR.. A. H. Sharpe, football coach of
the 1thacans, is identified with the
Cornell S. A. 7. c. as assistant medi-
cal examiner. and it is reported that
he soon will be named athletic d.
rector and asked to develop a football
team from members of the corps.
Dr Sharpe just now is too busy
with physical examinations of student
cadets to give any time to football,
and so far not enough men have signi-
ned their intention of going out for
the team to make it worth while to at
tempt to start practice. Cornell does
not open until the middle of next week
BY that time squad is expected to
take the field, and if Sharpe is made
athletic director by then he will take
command
The officials of the S. A. T. c. will
allow forty men to engage in limited
practice-three days on the field and
two hours in week for the study of
football strategy. Games will be
played with teams from the several
government schools here, and efforts
may be made to arrange several games
in November with teams which were
| on the Cornell schedule this fall, such
as Penn State, Michigan and Pennsyl-
vania.
The schedule making will be difficult,
and the problem of raising the funds,
with the graduate managers organiza~
ton gone, a hard nut to crack
A few varsity and former freshman
players may be available, and as the
freshman rule has no force now, such
prep. school and high school men as
may enter the corps may be candidates
! for the team

Y.M.C.A. Sends
Magee Abroad
For War Work

The united war work campaign is
officially on. Lee Magee, one of the
best all around ball players in the
major leagues. is the first star athlete
to come into the fold since the knights
of Columbus, Y. NJ. C. A. and similar
war welfare organizations joined
hands. His application for appoint
ment as an overseas physical recrea-
ton director was passed yesterday and
he will sail within the next few days
to take up his new duties of making
things lively behind the lines for
Pershing's warriors.
Magee will go over in the uniform of
the Y. NJ. C. A. and will be part of the
Red Triangle's organization on the
other side. Besides his baseball work,
his experience as a basketball player,
Splinter and bowler Will stand him in
good stead, as we'll as his executive
experience obtained as manager of the
late lamented Brooklyn Federal League
club.
When Magee broke into big league
baseball, il 1909, it was as an infelder
with the St. Louis Cardinals, but he
was converted soon into an outfelder
He was one of the men that made the
trip around the world under Comiskey
and McGraw in the winter of 1913-'14,
after which McGraw declared Magee
one of the games real stars and began
angling to obtain him for the Giants.
While this was going on Magee jumped
to the Federals and was made manager
of the Brooklyn club, playing all posi-
tons except the battery and being one
OF the shining lights of the entire cir
cult.
Upon the breakup of the OUTLAW"
organization Magec was speared by the
New York American League club and
played il the outfeld under Wild
Bill Donovan He showed far below
his accustomed form and was traded to
the Cincinnati Nationals. Christy Ma
thewson put Magee back at his old
position at second base, and he made
good with a vengeance. counting ire

Football Best
Aid to Soldier.
SaysCoach Yost

Why should football be kept on the
map when baseball was practically
wiped out by the War Department?
coach Yost of the Michigan team gives
an answer which will get the stamp of
approval from all followers of the
grldlron sport in the following:
Because it develops the physical
and moral courage of the individual.
teaches him to give and take the shock
OF combat, to think and act instantly
under hire, to sacrifice self for team
play. and accustoms him to discipline
ana TO give and obey commands. 1t is
the best possible training for SOL
dler. as witness the long list of for
mer Michigan players who have won
co mn IN the army and navy.
There's Redden," Yost continued as
he pulled an envelope from his pocket
ana started writing names upon it. "He
was captain of our 1903 eleven. and is
now major in the heavy artillery
with the Rainbow Division in France.

West Point and Annapolis want places

Rebuilt or repainted golf balls are so
common as to be quite generally traded
IN, but though the price Of first grade
baseballs is considerably higher, little
CT no effort is made similarly to re-
claim and restore them
However, and apart from their recent
increase in price to So, the acute short
ages of horsehide and wool yarn are
giving to official league baseballs a
value not easily represented by figures.
1t is such, says the sporting Goods
Sales Journal" as to make their re-
clamation and repair we'll worth while,
particularly In view of the hundreds
of thousands of them that are being
used by the American army both here
and abroad
The report lacks confirmation, but it
is part of trade gossip that some of
the professional clubs have sold their
used balls to those capable of perform
ing the work and that these balls have
been provided with new covers and
otherwise "rejuvenated" and then re-
sold as new goods. but at less than
their original price.

Three Ingrams
Achieved Fame
In Navy Sports
Death of Lieutenant Homer
Recalls Doings of Him
and His Brothers

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Oct. 4.-The death
of Lieutenant Homer l.. Ingram, y. S.
NJ, at the Naval Hospital, Washington,
on September 81, calls to mind the
three Ingram brothers, which made up
the most notable athletic family in the
history Of the academy
Conditions at the Naval Academy do
not, of course, tend to bring a large
number of the members of one family
into the institution, as it is not a
matter of deciding collegiate prefer
ences. but Of securing the official ap-
pointment. There have been a few
cases where a family furnished two
good athletes. but none outside of the
Ingram family where there were three.
Indiana is the home Of the lngrams,
and they all attended Culver Military
institute before entering the Naval
Academy Jonas H. Ingram, now rank
ing as commander and aid to Admiral
goldman. commanding the Atlantic
fleet, was the first TO come to Annap-
oils. He entered in 1903, and was
graduated four years later.
He is considered the best stroke the
crew ever had, and he pulled in that
position in the spring of 1907, when
the academy had an entry for the onlv
time In the Poughkeepsie Regatta. The
navy was barely defeated by Cornell.
Jonas Ingram also scored touchdown
against West Point in 1905, the first
the Navy had scored against the Army
for years.
Lieutenant Homer l. Ingram. who
mas just died, entered the academy in
1910. graduating in 1914. He followed
IN his older brothers footsteps. row
ing on the crew and playing football. his
positions being at end and in the back
feld. He was a good man on the water
and the gridiron. When Jonas ingram
was head coach of the academy foot
ball team during the seasons Of 1ers
and 1917, Homer Ingram was one Of
his assistants.
The youngest Ingram, William A. is
now captain of the football team an
honor neither of his brothers had and
stroked the crew last season. H. &C 10
