COLUMBIA KEEPS COAKLEY.

Andy CoalSley. famous as a star twirier
Of the Philadelphia American League

engaged TO coach Columbia baseball
mines for the next three years. Coakley
was at the helm Of diamond activities on
Morningside Heights from 1915 to 1917,
inclusive. and in 1916 developed a team
that swept all opposition aside and easily
captured the intercollegiate champion
ship for the season.
When Fred Dawson came down from
Union to coach in football. baseball and
basketball. Coakley was released to
make room for the newcomer. Dawson
did not prove very successful on the
diamond and Coakley was again in
charge last season. The effect of his
presence was soon felt and with his re-
engagement for a long term of years
baseball prospects at Columbia seem
bright.

N. Y. u. FIVE READY !
FOR GAME WITH YALE
ed Thorpe, Coach Of Violet
Team, Gives Men Strenuous
Drill for the Contest.

Ed Thorpe. coach at New York Uni
versity put the finishing touches on the
Violet five last night in preparation for
the opening game or the season against
Yale at University Heights this evening.
The Violet squad topped off a week OF
strenuous practice scrimmages with 81
light signal drill and shooting session
and is In excellent trim for the contest
with the Ell quintet.
The game Is Of unusual Importance To
the Violet followers who are counting
on the New York team to repeat It's
record Of last season. The Violet team
last year was the greatest aggregation
Of stars that ever gathered on a basket
ball court at University Heights. Tho
team went through a season OF seven
teen games and defeated all but one OF
them, the West Point five, by unusually
large scores. In addition to capturing the
title OF National A. A. U. champions. or
the remarkable stars that composed the
Violet champion quintet last year. but
two have been lost through graduation.
They are Howard Cam. member Of the
Olympic team as shot putter, and PAU
Mooney.
Thorpe has been drilling his team
faithfully for three weeks in an effort to
find capable successors to the positions
left vacant by the graduation Of Cam
and Mooney. At present Robertson and
Holman are holding down the centre and
forward positions respectively. but the
wealth of material that faced the call
for candidates this season has made the
selection difficult.
Several fast players have constituted
scrub team whose ability has been
little short of that OF the varsity quintet
with the result that Thorpe is handi-
capped by scarcity Of players Dorff,
TSdelstein, Bates. Bierce. Rainone.
BrooksbanlS and Hatterer are those who
are putting up strong fight for posi-
tions on the regular lineup.
