Yale Has Poorer Material, But
Better Coached This Year.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. Nov. "A
bet which Is being made on the Yale
s,mpus is that tho present Eli eleven
will lose as many games as last
years team. AS the 1919 players
dropped three contests, the wager
makes q direct comparison between
the present and last years playing
- The students in general believe
that the 1919 team had better ma
terial but poorer coaching. while the
present. eleven possesses material
which Is poorer than has been be-
iieved by the public, but is much
better coached.
Yale has already lost one game.
its match with Boston College. pre-
d ctions are made on the campus that
tho game next Saturday with Brown
Is likely to be Yale defeat, and, If
either the Princeton or the Harvard
contest is lost, Yale's last year total
of three defeats will be equaled.
At any rate, the betting prQposi-
tion of three defeats for this season
is very much in prominence just
now. '.'

Cruise is a. stocky fellow and was
very certain last year on gains or

MAJOR OPERATION
COMES TO PAST|ME
~ JACK XEIOCIk.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.--Baseball will
undergo major operation next
week.
The old and ailing government OF
the game will he removed to make
room for a new and more popular
and, according to indications today,
the operation will be accomplished
peacefully.
Major league magnates will head
for Chicago tomorrow. on. sunday
the National League will hold a
moe ting there and on Monday the
club owners of both leagues. includ-
ing the five American Leagucrs who
make up Ban Johnson's faction, will
get together TO discuss plans for re-
vamping the government OF the
game.
President John Heydlcr of the Ma
tional League with his eight club
owners and the owners of the Chi
cago. New York and Boston Amcri-
can League clubs. are on record as
favorins the ''Lasker plan" for re-
organizing the game.
HAS OWN PROPOSITION.
Tho johnson faction has a counter
proposition to offer. At it's recent
meeting the latter faction indicated
that II would attend Mondays meet
ing in Chicago and II is being freely
predicted in baseball circlcs-hcrc to-
day that the major leaguers will get
together. As a matter of form Prcsi-
dent HeydIer has today issued a Sec
ond invitation TO all major league
owners to be present.
According TO present plans the big
league owners are to choose two
members OF a new board of control
for baseball at the meeting in Chi
cago Monday, after which they will
go to Kansas City where the national
association OF professional baseball
clubs--the minor league body-is
scheduled to meet next Tuesday.
The minor leagues will be asked
to cooperate with the majors in
establishing the new government Of
the game and it is expected that they
will name a third member OF the new
governing body. This plan will be
carried out. 1t is said, unless, the John
son faction has a better one to offer.
WAR TALK SUBSIDIZED.
Talk of baseball war and the
formation of a new twelve club league
by the eight National and three
American League owners has sub
sided, but in case Johnson's faction
refuses to attend Mondays meeting,
there Is no telling what may happen.
I'VE realize that a twelve-club cir
cult would be far from IDEAL" said
a prominent National Lacquer today.
but 1t would be vastly better than to
go on as we have been doing. ,--'
Just what the attitude of the minor
league organization as a whole will
be toward the plans offered by the
ma ajors is a matter for conjecture.
That all depends on what majors have
to offer Some minor leagues are in
favor of the ''Lasker plan" others
are openly against 1t.
a majority OF the minor league
owners, the writer Is reliably in
formed. are solidly opposed to a re-
newal of the old form of agreement
between the majors and minors which
permitted the drafting OF lplayers.
Ic new national agreement is
signed. therefore, the minors will
have a large say-so in it's making.
Many minor league owners would
ba content to go along as they have
been doing since the old agreement
was abrogated. These owners have
been more prosperous in the last two
years than ever before.
