working on a plan which would deter
mine the football champion Of 1920. IL
Is a plan which Is very likely 10 nee.
favor with at least three-fourths OF
the colleges and with the entire sport
world besides.
This man, who requests his name be
not used at the present time. would
bring the champion teams Of East,
Middle West and South to the coast
next Winter, and together with the
Pacific Coast champion stage a tourna-
ment. Two games would be played
Christmas Day among lhe four teams
and the 1.-Two winners would meet for
the championship New Yeer's Day.
This plan may not be favored by the
Western Conference, for there is a rule
against post-season games among the
schools Of hc midwest which belong
TO this association. But The South and
the Eas. would very likely agree to
such a proposition And. perhaps. a

George Holiday, better known as

is fast on his feet, has a good whip"
and bats well.
Frank Neff. who can handle any po-
sitlon. will be on the job as usual.
"Neene." in addition 20 paing the field
ing positions, can be relied upon TO per-
form IN the box when needed. He Is
fast on the bases and frequently
smacks out a hit just when 1t Is
needed.

arm has scared many an opposing bats

Hop" Gcoghegan. who is now a
regular Delaware City resident, will
be Of much help 20 the locals. This
former Delaware College southpaw
lwirled some fine games I'm his college
days several years ago and COINED a
reputation as a first b0seman. He will
likely look after some Of Che twlrling

He scrambles an over the infleld. when

And sentiment might-be changed in
