Platt Tri,lmphs Over Coburn
In Handicap Squash Match

up swift and soft shots in such be-
wildering manner that Coburn could
not successfully gauge his own shots
Platt won this game at 15-11, BRING
ing the match all square, and then they
began the third.
The Yale man soon indicated that he
was out for blood, starting off at q
winning pace and holding it clear to the
end He showed great cleverness in
his round -thecourt shots, and his own
gets" were spectacular, as he took the
returns in every conceivable position.
Try as Coburn would, he did not seem
able to place the ball beyond the reach
of his Yale rival, and the points went
steadily in Platt's favor.
In the last few hands Platt hit his
real stride and overwhelmed Coburn
by the variety of his shots and his skill
at placement. Coburn was able to
gather only half 81 dozen points while
his opponent was piling up twenty. and
winning a we'll played and interesting
match.
Platt's work yesterday has caused a
change of opinion among those who
have been following the progress OF
the tournament, and the general feel
ing last night seemed TO be that yes
tcrday's winner will triumph over
Baker, who is on the scratch mark
The latter. however. has been playing
excellent squash in all his matches

New Football Body
At Yale Working
On 1920 Schedule
Special Correspondence

Special Correspondence
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 2l.-Yale's
newly appointed graduate football com
mittee, consisting of Brinck Thorne,
Johnny Fitzpatrick, Ted Lilley, Louis
Stoddard and Ray Biglow, has decided
to get down to cases during the Christ
mas vacation and to discuss the ar
rangement of a schedule for next fall
The work has been begun by Manager
Trousche of next years team, in con-
nectiOn with Captain Tim Callahan.
The Harvard and Princeton games
are assured, and it was learned to-day
that four new opponents have been ap-
preached regarding games West Point,
Colgate, University of West Virginia
and Lafayette. The Lafayette and the
West Virginia games are regarded as
certain to be played. West Virginia
will come here on October 23, with La
fayette probably October Is. The Army
viii get an early November game, while
the Colgate date is uncertain.
The Yale management has made no
announcement regarding this falls op-
ponents. Maryland and North Carolina
made sportsmanlike impression, but
they were too weak to aid in the devel-
opment of the Yale eleven, and it is
not expected that they will reappear
on the schedule. A game with Will
Jams has been discussed, but the New
England colleges arc not looked upon
as quite strong enough for the rigid
test which Yale will make in preparing
its schedule next fall
Lafayette, Colgate, West Point and
West Virginia comprise four teams of
stronger caliber than any opponent on
The Eli schedule the last fall except
Harvard and Princeton.
The new football committee believes
that the gridiron sport will easily prove
the greatest American athletic attrac-
ton of the fall, if it is encouraged and
developed, and that the Yale Bowl will
be filled next year by both Harvard
and West Point, and that the other
proposed games will attract crowds of
between 10000 and 10000 people.

Mathematician System Used
In Ranking Tennis Players

tember. when he won .he national title
Oh turf courts by vanQu.ahng Tilden
in the fina. round.
On sets won the two were on even
terms, if mistake no., and although II
is true that the champion was the win
rcr in th., more important. Journeys,
there cannot be such a wide margin of
superiority.
The mems doubles ranking is afflict-
ed with the same faults as the singles
ratings, and the most striking Illus
tration of this is seen in the placing
of Tilden and Richards at the No. 7
the 81 of Brookes and Patterson. the
--5.5 of Johnston and Griffin, the or Of
Alexander and Voshell, the 1.8 of Nc
Loughlin and Bundy, the 81 of Robe rt
and Howard Kinsey, and so on down
the line.
1t will be borne in mind that Tilden
and Richards, then the national doubles
champions, were defeated by Brookes
and Patterson in the challenge round
at Newport in August, after a despcr-
ately played match, during which the
final result was frequently in doubt.
No other team gave the Austria
lians such keen struggle, and it was
the only match that Tilden and Rich
tournament, since they were the stand
ing-out champions.
Summing up, if the "mathematical
system" of ranking can produce the re-
suits detailed above, is it not time that
we went back to the old method, by
which some attention was paid to the
knowledge of what player could
really do?
We don't care if the Figures" prove
that Albert L. Green ir. or Axel Craven
are better tennis players than Maurice
Mclaughlin or Vincent Richards. Oul
common sense tells us that this is not
so, and it will require lot more than
vulgar" fractions to prove to the con-
trary.

Yale Club Player Ad-
vances Step Nearer to
Final Round ofTourney

Livingston Platt, Of the Yale Club,
round in the annual handicap squash
tennis tournament at the Columbia
University Club yesterday when he de-
feated R. G. Coburn, of the Harvard
in the fifth round.
This was the only match played dur
ing the day, and Platt is now brack-
cited in the semi-nnal round, in the
upper half, together with Donald S.
Baker, club mate. They VIII clash
either this afternoon at A:3O o'clock or
tomorrow at the same hour for the
right to go into the final round.
In the lower half of the draw we
find !. II. Cornell, of Columbia, and R.
f. T. Riggs. of the Squash Club, and
Frederick S. keeler, of the Columbia
Club and Augustus J. Cordier, of the
Yale Club, the low handicap man in the
tournament, all in the fifth round. They
Will meet in the above order at 5 80
O'Clock this afternoon. The two win
ners will probably meet in the semi
final round tomorrow afternoon, with
the final round match to be played on
Wednesday afternoon.
Platt, who is rated at minus S, and
Coburn. who is handicapped at minus
:, played an uneven mach, Coburn
striking his stride first and practically
running away with the first game
Platt came stronger in the second
game, particularly in the last half, and
in the third and final game the Yale
man set an invincible pace, scoring
eight points in row. during which he
and Coburn played some of the pref
tiest squash OF the tournament.
There was a lot OF swift stroking by
Coburn in the opening session, the
Crimson representative sending the
ball around the court at such Il keen
pace that Platt was often caught out
Of position and many of his returns
landed in the tell-tale. He established ID
a big lead on points and was going so
we'll that it did not seem likely that
his Yale rival could overhaul him.
But in the second game Platt made
his bid, and it was winning effort.
He showed faster footwork in getting
about the court and began to score
aces on spectacular gets" Coburn
stuck to him grimly, and for a time it
appeared as though he would take the
match in straight games The rallies
were fast and sensational and those in
the gallery had plenty of opportunity
to applaud.

aries. Myself and others like me who

Goals to make room for the returning

take never will be made again"
1t is the opinion of the Western
writer's that the adjourned annual
meeting of the American League will
reassemble in Chicago within the next
ten days. So far as known, President
Johnson has not yet issued the call
for this conference. But it is under
stood that a number of matters of
vital Importance must be decided be-
fore the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Commission. This comm ission
meeting always is held in Cincinnati on
the first Monday of January.
At it's gathering the Triumvirate is
supposed to meet a committee repre-
senting the minor leagues in order
to effect new working agreement
The policy of the National League
toward this agreement was arrived at
during the annual meeting in New
York, but it's policy must be ratified
or amended by the American League, as
mutual agreement is matter Of neces-
sity At its short and stormy session
here the American League never got
within a thousand miles Of any minor
topic.
Though no one associated either with
the Red SoX or Yankees will admit
there is any foundation for the gossip,
fielder Bobby Roth will be wearing the
livery of Colonels Rupert and Huston
by the time Miller Huggins starts
South with his club. These prophets
also insist that Everett Scott will ac-
company Roth to this city. The story
goes that Huggins will send Pratt and
one of his veteran southpaw pitchers
to the Hub for Roth and Scott, and
that Scott will play second base here:
Provided Meusel should prove half
as brilliant third baseman as Coast
critics predict, such a swap would rem
edy the crying need of Huggins-the
addition of plenty of speed without
sacrifice to driving power. Lewis
Fewster and Roth would form a fancy
garden. Meusel, Peckinpaugh, Scott
and Pipp should combine every excel
Ience of Unfolding art from defensive
worth of the highest order to the
deadly punch backed by unusual speed
Whether or not Frank Baker returns
the fact remains that he has practi'
cally reached the end of his rope, be-
cause Of his lack of speed. Coast fans
insist that Meusel will soon make New
York forget all about the former home
run king, whether Baker is absent o.
} present.
