SPORT ANGLE
BY BILLY EVANS.

There are going 10 be big doings
when the minor leagues meet in Buff
faio, the week OF Dec. 8, for their
annual conference.
Il probably will be one Of the most
important sessions in the history Of
the organization. The major league
maguatcs are almost issue 10 be set
tied. The major league owners are
strong for such action.
A year ago when the minors met
in Kansas City. the National Asso-
citation left the draft question up to
the individual leagues. If a league
desired 10 be included, all right, If
not. all right
Some OF the leagues OF a higher
classification International and the
Pacific Coast as well as a few others.
declared against the draft.
The decision Of these leagues pre-
vented the major leagues from Sc
curing any OF their players in the
draft. II was up 20 them "a make a
purchase a. a price suitable 10 the
club owning the player, II they de-
sired 20 get any OF the stars from the
darger minor leagues.
With fewer leagues 10 choose from,
the majors did not secure many
players through the draft The re-
suit wasn't satisfactory 20 either the
majors or the minors. Too few
players OF class came up as a re-
suit OF the curtailed system.
Had the draft rule been generally
recognized, a lot OF players would
have come up who are still in the
minors. The majors would have ia
ken a chance at the regular draft
price on the player making good, but
didn't care 10 gamble on him al a
fancy price.
This Is going 70 be the big issue at

Further Praise IN Game

After all, sportsmanship is the

charge OF the Yale-Harvard game,
tells this very interesting story:
Early in the first period. Clark,
the Harvard center. was badly cut
over one eye. The Harvard trainer
was working hard TO patch up the
injury within the given two min
utes, so as TO avoid the penalty
prescribed by the rules.
capt. Aldrich OF Yale, realizing
It would take more than two min
utes 10 properly attend to the in
jury, said TO me:
Please tell the Harvard trainer
TO take as much time as is needed,
Yale will not accept the penalty &"

The greatest number of candidates

schol team here, responded yester-
day afternoon at the Y. NJ. c. A.
gymnasium and trotted out TO show
Elmer Burnharn what they knew
about the INDOOR sport. basketball.
which always receives such an
abundance OF attention from the
student body. Cne hundred OF the
candidates turned out in uniform
for the initial practice at the local
Y. II. c. A.
Capt. Scheer. who promises to be-
come as great a general as the re-
cent Mike Nyikos was among those
who turned out, as we'll as a few
others, who recently graced the
ranks OF the seasons grid squad. A
fine demonstration OF the school
spirit, which prevails among the
men, was demonstrated when the
football men turned out.
The practice itself. was thorough
and severely taxed the eXertions Of
those who have not been in training
and who expect to make the team
at the first attempt. Necessity will
force the coach TO cut the squad to
so and then again in two weeks to
80. Those who will be cut from the
candidates will be held back for
Inter-class competition.
The coming game with the st. Joe
Michigan bask etball team will not
be one which will tax the ability of
the local team, but it is generally
expected that Coach Burnham will
take this opportunity to give all the
likely candidates a chance TO show
what they can do under fire.

PARIS. Nov. %. The French
Lawn Tennis federation Tuesday
accepted the resignation OF Captain
Albert r. DeJOannis as a member

last sunday in protest against the
federatiOn's condemnation OF the
United States Lawn Tennis associa-

Accompanying the federauon's ao-
ceptance OF the resignation was a
resolution stating that the French

We blamed Mile Lenglen for lack
