.agnon Star ofGame
In Which Brown
Beats the Crimson
BY BRIGGS

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 3O.-Gag-
non, the Brown halfback, booted two
boals from the field against Harvard
in the Stadium to-day, and the Grim
son eleven was defeated to 8. A
field goal by Hunneman in the third pc
riod gave the Crimson its points.
The score does not indicate the rels-
tive merits of the elevens, for except
during few minutes of the third pc
riod Harvard was kept on the defensive
in her own territory. Twice Brown
carried the ball inside the Crimson 9
ten-yard line, only to lose its oppor-
tunity for touchdowns when fifteen
yard penalties were inflicted.
Gagnon was the Individual star of
the game. Besides kicking two per-
feet field goals he was chiefly respon-
slble for putting Brown in a position
to score.
brown scored first in the second pc
riod. Gehrke, of Harvard, fumbled a
punt on his forty-five- yard line and
Gagnon scooped the ball up and ran
to Haryard's twenty seven-yard line.
Three line plays placed the ball di-
rectly in front of the Harvard posts
and Gagnon kicked a field goal from
the twenty-fve-y yard line.
harvard showed real squirt in the
early part Of the third period and
rushed the ball from midfeld to
Browns twenty-yard line. Zimmerman
kicked a field goal when the Brown
line refused to give more ground.
Brown came back with a rush and car
rled the ball to Harvard's three-yard
line, but was penalized fifteen wards
for illegal aiding of a runner.
The winning field goal was kicked
by Gagnon in the last five minutes.

Emancipation for Players
The above rules will emancipate the

vented the farming and the maninula-
tion OF players by the clubs.
lhe important thing to all clubs con-
cerned is that these rules would equal
lze the chances of clubs in every league
OF getting the services of players. Each
Cup would have to depend on drafting
snd developing its players instead OF
puylng those already made.
me benefits accruing from the above
would be much greater to the minor
leagues than to the majors. The minors
would get the draft price for a PLAYER
and would get him back or some one
else III his stead for nothing.
Tho minor leagues backs have been
broken by carrying major league
owned players and being unable to got
players when they wanted them. The
major leagues, and in fact all leagues.
should be compelled to cut their rosie r
to the players limit by the commence
ment Of their season. This would al
low all clubs in lower classfcations to
nave chance to get the players that
they neod.

Elaye~7 If a club can't live on the
gate 1t should quit. The rankcst fail
ures in the Glass AA and A leagues
are the clubs that have tried to live by
peddling players.
Tho 1917 National Association record
shows that the National Association
paid the majors $11O,05O for optional
agreements and outright sale Of play
ers. The minors under the new system
would save this Sl1o,060. besides hav-
ing oil the money paid them for drafts.
Records show there is no money in
selling players.
All baseball could be run by one SUI
preme head. There would then be no
necessity to maintain the big offices of
the National Association, as there
would be no arguments or suits TO de-
eide in reference to the ownership or
transfer Of players.

Makes Suggestions That
Might Restore Sporting
Aspect of Pastime
By Clark Griffith
(Mamages Washington American Basebal

(Moaages WashfmDton American Baseball
Club)
Organized baseball, both major and
minor, can be governed by three rules
which will give Justice and equity to
players aud club owners alike. These
are:
l. The reserve rule.
2. The draft rule.
3. The waiver rule,
The reserve rule will protect clubs
property rights and investments. The
draft rule will insure the Advancement
of the player in hts profession. The
waiver rule will protect the club owner
and at the Same time the rights Of
the player.
l would suggest these rules to gov
ern the application Of tbs three above
mentioned rules, as follows!
Griffith's Radical Suggestions
!. No club shall be permitted to sell
or buy player except by the waiver
rule.
2. Waivers cannot be recalled.
8, All clubs to work under close
player limit.
4. That all minor league players
shall 60 to the draft.
8. No club shall be allowed to trade
player.
8. The number of players to be
drafted in classes AA. and A to be
greater than the number the rules pro-
vide for
7. The waiver price Of clubs In the
same classification to be the same
amount.
8. The waiver price on a player
slassed as drafted" player shall be
the same as the amount for which he
was drafted.
8. The waiver price on all other
players to be the regular waiver price
of the league requesting the waiver.
10. When any club In any league
wishes to dispose of the services Of a
player, waivers shall be asked Only
clubs in the same classification shall
have the right to claim said player,

Touchdown-Davis Loses
Chance to Win

Camp Upton's football team played a
tie game with the Camp Dix eleven at
the City Field in Newark yesterday af-
ternoon. The score was to 7. Upton
tossed away an opportunity to win in
the last few minutes of play
With the bali on Dix's 19-yard line
Davis, Upton's quarterback, dropped
back to the 26-yard mark to try a kick
from placement. He was directly in
front of the goal posts and had the
wind on his back. He could have hardly
missed, but he took so long to have the
ball placed that before he had a chance
to boot it the whistle blew for time.
Upton scored its touchdown in the
third period, when Gerald Lands, the
Hamilton College star. who, playing
right halfback, tore of an 8O-yard run
and placed the ball over the goal line.
Fish had attempted drop kick for
Dix from the 25-yard line, but the
wind carried the ball out Of it's course.
The ball was brought out to the 20
yard line, and on the first play Lands
took the pigskin on a brush tackle
play, on the right side of the line. He
used straight arm to get rid of
Austin, and then had a clear field.
Davis kicked the goal.
Straight football was the rule of
both teams, and it was in this manner
that Dix scored in the second period.
Just before the first quarter ended
Brandt, kicking from behind his own
goal line, booted the ball out to the 81
yard line. Fish on an off tackle play
made fourteen yards, carrying the ball
to the 23-yard line.
Albright and Austin earned the ball
to the 15-yard line and Upton was
penalized five yards for off-side play
The first quarter ended with the ball
on the 10-yard line.
On the first play in the second quar-
ter Fish carried the ball FIVE yards;
Smith then made yard, and Wilmot
Albright, a former Railway High School
and Brown University star, carried the
ball over for touchdown, while Fish
kicked the goal.
Earl Yingling, former big league
baseball pitcher, was in the lineup for
Upton and played good defensive
game. He was also good on giving in
reference, but he did not carry the
ball often.
