IS
 ID BE CHANGED
 FOR CUP RAGE

New York, Jan The report that the Shamrock W. is to have between four and five feet sliced off her keel to increase her speed in going into stays in windward work has caused intense interest in yachting circles in this country. It is regarded as the forerunner of other important changes to be made in the boat with which Sir Thomas Lipton hopes to lift the cov- eted Americas Cup in the series of races next summer, providing, of course, the Cup Committee of the New York Yacht Club accepts the challenge of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club.
 With it's long underwater body, the Shamrock, naturally, offered great re- sistance in throwing from one tack to another, and this materially lessened the speed of the craft. With this re- sistance minimized to a pronounced degree by the proposed alterations to her keel the challenger will become a far more threatening figure. With her well known qualities for speed in sailing off the wind and in running and reaching, and her general all around speed about to be enhanced by this shortening operation, 1t is small wonder that yachting interests

Tad Jones Sure To
 Coach Yale Football
Faculty Representative Admits Offer Has Been Made to Him---Jones, Who Is On Pacific Coast Refuses to
 Discuss Matter Now

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. That Tad Jones will be back as head coach of the Yale football team next fall seems assured. It is "up" to the former All-America quarterback himself and friends of his here are sure that satisfactory arrangements will be made
 That the authorities feel the same way was shown when the announce ment came from Minneapolis that Harry Williams had refused to again sign with the University of Minnesota and was coming to some Eastern university, presumably Yale.
 Immediately the officials here said that Yale was not the university meant. Dr. Williams, who is a grad uate of Yale, and who has son here now, spent part of last week in New Haven, and at that time naturally saw some friends of his on the fac ulty, but no move was made by the football authorities to see if he was available for the position.
 There is only one man considered for the position, and that is Tad Jones. There hasn't been any other, | nor will there be-.
 Tad Jones is the choice of Capt. Tim Callahan, who makes the recon,
 
 1 Sharpe, the director of athletics; he 1 is the choice of Prof. Clarence W. 1 Wendell, chairman of the Board of | Control, and naturally is the choice ot the football committee which Capt Callahan has just appointed. Prof. Mendell said yesterday that i no answer had been received from l Tad Jones, who is in Seattle, and nc reply has yet been received by Direc- l tor Sharpe; but there is no longer any | doubt that Tad Jones will be back
 There have been several other ap- plicants, but they have been told that the only man who can be appointed psychologically is Tad Jones.
 The appointment of Tad Jones 1T no way will cause any conflict witt Dr. Sharpe, who will continue a: 1 director of athletics. Naturally witt | his big business interests, lone: would be unable to spend the entire year here, just coming in for thu football season and the few week! preceding it. Prof. Wendell said h' | hoped to be able to make the an nounceme soon.
 Tad Jones is now general manager of one of the biggest shipbuildin:

Pasadenas Cal, Jan. 1-Neither the Harvard eleven nor the Yellow clad players from Oregon lacked packers, morally or financially today before their clash at 2:30 o'clock at Tournament Park.
 In the marked shift in the weather from warm to cool, some saw cer- tain augury of a crimson success in the great east-west football classic. Big men are more affected by heat than smaller ones, they said, agreeing that Harvard players from end to end of the line outweighed the Pa cific coast team.
 Oregon supporters countered with the assertion that the westerners had been just as much accustomed to cool weather as the Harvard players and might benefit equally as much by foday.s lowered temperature.
 On one point all apparently were agreed, that both elevens would en- ter the game "fu1l of the fighting spirit" The Crimson warriors ex- pressed confidence that they would win. The Oregonians seemed grim 1y determined to do their best.
 Ticket spectators were up and Aoing early, although their activities were checked somewhat by the ra- pid depletion of their wares and the vigilance of federal agents waiting to arrest any unwary enough to ply their trade without turning over to the government the full amount o1 xhe tax exacted on all amusement tickets.
 Prevailing prices here and at the downtown hotels in Los Angeles last night were $12.50 for $3.50 tickets

CONDITION OF MEN IS FACTOR
 IN GAME TODAY

New York, Jan. Interest in the football game between the e1evens of Hayward and the University of Oregon at Pasadena, Cal. this afternoon, has been growing to such proportions that it's importance is being recognized as a means of comparison between the relative merits of the game as played here and on the Pacific Coast.
 Just how far this comparison can be accepted as a true measure of the development of the sport in two such widely separated parts of the country is hard to say, for the reason that so much will depend on the physical condition of the players.
 The Harvard squad, after breaking training with a victory over Yale, en- joyed a lapse of two weeks before going back to work, and much of this work was indoors. The long journey across the continent followed with only four or five days in California to tighten up, and the question naturally is raised as to how near the men may be to that edge so necessary for the truest expression of real football.
 Oregon, however. has little advan- tage over Harvard in this respect. The players also had broken training and i lldu lO iSSIn d1l over dSd11, ct1lO furthermore they had to travel 1000 miles or more to play game in 8 eli mate much warmer than that to which they have been accustomed { Their handicap then. while not SC great as that imposed on tho Grim son, has been enough to bring about something approaching an equality. Reports from the Coast indicate 1 that the Oregon men are in better l physical condition than the Crimson warriors, but this is partly offset b!
 the assurance of Dr. Fisher that his 1 players are in good condition an6
 ready to give of their best.
 If Harvard does take the field J physically prepared to play the same
 kind of a game as against Princeton
 and Yale, 1t will be triumph to the
 skill of "Pooch" Donovan as trainer and of Dr. Fisher as coach.

CANNEFAX WINS FROM OTIS IN
 BILLIARD GAME

New York, Jan. 1.---Robert l.. Can- nefax, the professional champion, won the third and final block of his exhi- bitfon three-cushion billiard match with Charley Otis of Brooklyn at the Friars' club last night by a score of 50 to 39. The total score for the three nights play was: Cannefax, 15O; Otis, 13S. The match proved to be one of the closest and most interesting held in this city in long stretches of the sportive calendar. After winning the opening block by a score of 30 to 40, Otis always managed to hover within striking distance of the champion and forced Cannefax to play all the cush- ion caroms he knows to emerge the winner.
 It was an exhibition of three-cush- ions as it should be played. The rivals seldom made mistakes. They were in stroke and at the top of form. Safety play, naturally, was resorted to fre- quently by these two cue experts Neither could afford to leave any openings and, unless they were req sonaibly sure of counting or had a pos
 sible shot in front of them. they spilled
 the "oiI' liberal1y. It was in this
 phase of play that Cannefax e0celled.
 He proved no better as a shot maker than Otis, but the champions safety
 playing frequently stopped Otis when the Brooklyn player threatened to
 take command C the situation.
 A remarkable feature of the three games was the speed with which both
 men played. The first block was
 made in 45 innings, consuming one
 hour; the second iii 5s innings, taking one hour and ten minutes, and the third in 56 innings, taking one houl l and five minutes. In other words, to count 15o points Cannefax took only l 159 innings, consuming a total of three hours and Is minutes in playing time l These figures are the more remarka-
 ble when it is considered that Otis did quite some scoring on his own hook.

here are giving deep consideration to the possibilities involved.
 It has been generally admitted that in running before the breez or with the wind abeam the Shamrock W. might have a decided edge on the Resolute, most prominently mention ed as the boat to be selected to de- fend the trophy, but it has been be- iieved that the speed of the Resolute in stays, having gone from full to full in the almost unbelievable time of 13 seconds, might discount any other advantage the Shamrock might have, providing, of course, the sail- ing conditions demanded much tack ing.
 In spite of this change. however, the opinion appears to prevail that the Shamrock can never stay as quickly as the Resolute, even though she may possess other racing quail ties equal or superior to those of the American sloop. It is understood, however, that other equally drastic changes are to be made in the British boat, and conjecture is rife concern ing the later notifications.
 As the Shamrock appeared in 1914, when she arrived in this country for the proposed races of that year, post poned because of the war, her big rig, spar lengths, and other features would have demanded that she con- cede approximately eight minutes handicap to the Resolute in a 30-mile race. This is a very considerable | handicap, and 1t may be that Sir i Thomas has determined to change his yacht as much as possible, partly with | a view to a material decrease in the allowance to be given the defender : This, of course, is merely surmise

 OPPONENTS IN
 EVERY RESPECT

Whether Lightweight Champion Benny Leonard is the best man that has held that title is merely 8 mat ter of opinion, since there is no way of proving it, but it is certain that mo other title holder ever dominated the situation as Leonard does at the present time.
 When Welsh held the title there were dozen men worthy of @ catch with him and several of them beat him in no decision affairs Ritchie had plenty of opponents who could extend him to the limit So did vol East. who was twice beaten by Knock out Brown in no decision bouts. Nell son had Wolgast, Cans, Britt, Moran, Herrera and Hy1and for opponents and plenty of other good ones as we'll
 Jos Cans was the nearest to Leon ard in the lack of opponents, so that he was often forced to go out of his class to get action. But even Cans had several lightweight opponents who could make him go at top speed. Among them were Frank Erne, Da1 Hawkins, '-ETbows'' McMadden, Will lie Fitzgerald and Jack Blackburn.
 Frank Erne had Cans, Lavigne, McGovern, Dixon, McFadden and many others. Lavigne had Walcott, who trained down and met him at the lightweight limit, Erne, McF'adden, Hawkins, F1aherty and others Of that calibre.
 McAuliffe, although he retired un- beaten to the records, had his Young Griffo and one or two others who are said to have beaten him although they did not get the official de- cfsion.
 Leonard, for his part, is practically without opposition. He out-classes the rest of the lightweights so far that he never has been called upon to defend his title in a regular cham pionship match. So as can be seen he is without weakness. In boNi1e skill he compares with the best ir ring history, and in hitting ability he Is scarcely inferior to Cans, who top ped them all ct that department o1 the game At one time it was sus- s pected that Leonard would lose form under punishment, but as he never has had to take punishment that is g minor matter. Besides, he probably has outgrown the fault
 At the present time are only abou half a dozen good nghtweights. The, are Leonard, Benjamin. Tendler Dundee, Jackson and Yelling.
 Just now Joe Benjamin is the mos prominent among the contenders

NEW HARTFORD
 MANACERPLANS
 STRONGER TEAM

Hartford, Jan. With the coming back of Dan Howley, this time to stick around until the end of the coming season. plans for Hartford's baseball team will be mapped out in the near future and the new pilot of the local club will send out his lines for players that will combine into a dangerous outfit to the rest of the Eastern League hines. Howley arrived back in Hartford late Sun day night, bringing Mrs. How1ey with him, and MT. and Mrs. will make their home in this city from now un- til his contract with MT. Clarkin ex- pires. Howley said yesterday that he had his eyes on several players that would constitute practically new team but that nothing definite would be done until the latter part of January or the first of February.
 The local fans and fanettes will get chance to see Howley in action quite frequently during the coming season as the mana ger says that he wants to get into the catchers har- ness every once in awhile to keep from growing stale. He says his arm is in good condition but that he does not care to take part in every game of the season. which means that a
 
 CT will be among the many new play CTS who will be signed to wear a Hartford uniform during the coming campaign.
 There is also a probability that all 1 of the four players now on the Hart | ford team, Ralph Head, Al Mcclellan, Andy Meyerjack and Bill Adams, will not be retained. Head proved the | best looking of the quartet last year ] and Is practically certain that he will | be out there in the box working for l the Senators when action is the by | word at the Wethersfield avenue grounds. It is also a safe bet that Bill Adams, who Is now owned by l C1arkin, will also be kept a-ound So l that if Howley decides to dig out and annex a couple of good-looking hurlers, it Is probable that Meyer l jack and Mcclellan will receice a | blue envelope containing one release | from the local club.

Jimmy Laird, Old Time
 Boxer, Is Good at 50

Jimmy Laird, one time amateur lightweight boxer of America, is a living refutation to the theory that a man can no longer be an athlete when he reaches forty years of age. Laird still does some boxing, and can handle most of the young fellows with ease and skill, although his hair is touched with silver and he admits 50 years of age. He is one of the crack hendball players at a we'll known New York gymnasium. Laird rarely misses an opportunity to work with some of the young professional boxers. Arthur Gauss, an amateur midd1eweight of some years ago, is also a boxer who retains his boxing skill.

Annapolis, Md, Jan.

The score against the Navy was as bad as 10 to l early in the game, and the half ended 15 to 7 against them.
 A rally at the start of the second period put the home team within two points of the visitors, and Princeton had to fight desperately to come out at the larger end.
