Brown Is Stirred
By Poor Decisions
In Harvard Game

PROVIDENCE, Nov. I4-Alshough
the Brown football squad came ou. Of
its contest with Harvard in the best Of
shape all Of the regulars were given q
rest to-day by Coach Robinson. The
second team spent the afternoon prac-
ticing plays used by Colgate against
Syracuse Saturday and will use them
against the varsity during the re
mainder OF the week in preparation for
the Colgate game this week end.
All Brown is stirred up over dec
sions by officials in the Harvard game,
it being claimed here that poor deci
sions gave Harvard the victory. 1t is
argued the referee erred once when
there was interference after Harvard
pass went over the goal line, and again
when Eckstein emerged from the bot
tom Of pile with the football and
Harvard was given the ball.

Hill Moves Up
To End Position
On First Squad
DIR. Nichols Decides Field
and Janin Will Be I'm
able to Play Saturday
speesas Dispatch to The Tribune

SScSsUt OtSPAtCfs W 4 nc ATtcWHS
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 14.-Dr.
Nichols definitely decided to-day that
neither Dick Field nor Covington
Janin. the second string ends. can be
of use in Harvard's football battle
with Yale Saturday. Both men turned
in their uniforms. Janin finishing his
career in the college game. but Field
has still another year to play.
Both are baseball players and Janin
proved . strong factor against Yale
for two successive years.
In order to bolster up the situation
st end, Coach Fisher drew another
vino from Coach Jimmie Knox's sec
ond team. Kenneth Hill is the fifth
member OF the scrubs to receive pro-
motion.
The rain did not hinder practice TO-
day, although Ground Keeper Dennis
Enright would not permit the SQUAD to
work in the Stadium. After a long
blackboard talk dealing nearly alto
gether with the Princeton game,
the varsity went outdoors to one side
of the field and. after tackling the
dummy, kicking and few other stunts,
opposed the second team, which used
Yale plays. Tackling was barred and
the men were not encouraged to play
too hard.
Chaplin Plays at Fullback
So uncertain was the footing, how
ever, that Fisher insisted that Charley
Tierney, Jack Crocker and Phil Co
burn stay on the side lines. A misstep
and any or all of the trio would be
back in the college infirmary. Crocker
only recently has discarded crutches.
Tierney's place at right tackle was
taken by Al Ladd, while Joe Hartley.
whose game against Brown was i'm
mense, replaced Crocker at right end.
Vinton Chaplin, whose bad arm is
mended, played fullback in place of
Coburn.
The coaches, however, still believe
that Fits should be turned to end in
stead of the backfeld, in case Crocker
is injured Saturday, and that may be
the program, for Roscoe is working
both jobs just now.
Harvard will close it's practice ses-
sion in the Stadium Thursday after
noon. An undergraduate mass meet
ing is being arranged for Wednesday
night, with Bob Fisher and Percy
Haughton as the chief speakers.

Rain Again Postpones
Practice at Fordhan,

The practice of the Fordham eleven
was again called off on account of rain
yesterday. The Maroon players were
very much In need of rest after
Saturdays strenuous game with Muh-
lenburg on the water-soaked Allen
town gridiron Dumoe hopes to make
the Fordhamites through scrimmaqe
this afternoon, Wednesday and Thurs
day.
1t developed yesterday that Seitz.
the best line-plunging back ON the To-
cal eleven, will be out of the game for
the remaining contests. In the short
scrimmage held Friday morning Seitz
injured his ankle and this morning an
X-ray disclosed the fact that the ankle
IS broken: Gately, who was displaced
by Seitz in the early part of the sea-
son, will probably return to his former
place in the backfeld.

Lehigh in Hard Scrimmage

BETHLEHEM, Pa, Nov. f4-With
the slogan BEAT Lafayette!" ringing
in their ears, the Lehigh gridiron
warriors started the week to-day with
session of grueling scrimmage, in
which Coach Click pressed into serv-
ice practically every man on the squad.
Throughout the practice, however, the
varsity was kept intact, with the ex-
ception of two or three substitutons,
in which Adams at end and Hendershot
at tackle we're substituted.

Army Has Workout
On MUDDY CritIiron
Special Dispatch to Tha Tr4buna

WEST POINT, N. Y, Nov. a.
Army resumed it's drive for the Navy
game to-day on a field covered with
slush and mud from last nights light
fall of snow. The north field was used
for the practice. 1t was nearly dark
before the varsity men appeared as the
usual Monday "chalk talk" was held
in the gym" preceding the field work
out.
The mistakes Of the Villa Nova con-
test last Saturday were pointed out. In
the initial practice on the gridiron a
thirty minute scrimmage with the
scrub netted single touchdown for
the varsity men, who were all in their
regular berths during the workout.
The men came through the contest
with Villa Nova in good shape. The
showing against the collegians WAS for
the most part satisfactory to Army fol-
lowers. 1t is felt, however, that the
Armys attack, which was ragged and
lacked consistency, should have been
more impressive against such light op-
ponents. The kicking was far from
satisfactory.

Former Colgate Mentor to
Succeed Jack Cannell as
Head Coach Next Season
By Ray Mccarthy

From what appears to be a reliable
and Trustworthy source we get the
news that Dartmouth College will have
a new football system and coaching
staff next year and that Larry Bankart
will be the head. Our informant states
that subscription fund already has
been started among the alumni of New
York City for this purpose and that it
is proposed to spend as much as $4,000
to install the system and the staff.
With Bankart at the head of things
alumni and students of the New Hamp
shire institution would have cause for
jubilation. For when it comes to in
structing college athletes in football
and in inspiring them on to victory
none excels the fiery Larry, who can
make a mules kick seem like a love
tap.
Most every body knows Bankart be-
cause of his association with Colgate
University. While he was in charge
Of the coaching duties up at Hamilton
Colgate occupied a high plane in the
football world, the highest it has ever
reached. Bankart went to Colgate in
1914 and until he retired in 1919 the
Maroon was power on the gridiron.
Colgate feared nobody in those days.
Yale, Princeton, Brown, Syracuse and
other first class teams went down be-
fore the battering assault built up and
directed by Bankart. Colgate hasn't
arts alma mater is in hopes he will
take the Green in hand.
Bankart played as an end on Dart
mouth back in 1905, when the Green
used to journey down to Cambridge an
nually and hold riotous party with
the Crimson. Bankart, much like
Hinkey, was rather slight Of stature.
but whatever he lacked in physique
was more than Offset by his in
domitable spirit and fiery tempera-
ment.
Those who were at Dartmouth dur
| ing the time Bankart was q student
there will always remember him be-
cause of the game he played against
| Harvard one year when his left arm
was paralyzed by a cluster of boils.
Bankart had the wing bandaged and
went in and played the game Of his life
despite the excruciating pain he suf-
fered all through the fray.
| Bankart, in addition to being a foot
| ball instructor of exceptional ability,
has the knack Of putting fight into a
team. He is fiery, eloquent speaker,
who can stir the feelings of football
eleven much as Billy Sunday can rouse
an audience.
1t is understood that Bankart will
have as his assistants Jack Englehorn,
who has been coaching Amherst this
year. and Jack Cannell, former star
Dartmouth quarterback, and present
head coach at Hanover, N. H.
Since Frank Cavanaugh departed
from Hanover, just previous to the
war, things have not been going any
too we'll Up there. Some say it is be-
cause of Tack of funds; others say it
is because of the youth of the coaches.
In any event, Spears, while he did
fully as we'll as was expected, had his
troubles and was working without the
entire support Of those in charge.
Dartmouth has always obtained ex-
cellent football material, and the
alumni, particularly, feel that the
Green should be one Of the top-notch-
ers every season. The New Hampshire
institution generally gets the pick of
the New England schoolboy athletes,
despite the keen competition among

Ruth Makes Good Impression
In Local Debut as a 1hespian
HARVARD Must Defeat
Yale to Create First
Three-Cornered Tie

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. a.
Should Harvard triumph over
Yale on the gridiron at the Stadium
here on Saturday, pi ecedent in big
Three" football history will be bro
ken. The triangular series has never
resulted in a triple tie, such as
would be the case were Harvard, al
ready beaten by Princeton, which in
turn was defeated by Yale, become
victor in the final game.
The statistics, which show the
unbroken rule of no tie, show also
that Crimson eleven has never do
feated Yale after losing to Prince
ton and that no Yale team which
went into it's last match undefeated
for the season, as will be the case
on Saturday, has been beaten by
Harvard.

Babe Bats Out Several
Long Laugh Wallops
Before Crowded House
By w. ]. Macbeth
Then along came Ruth

Ihen alOng came Ruth
At the Palace Theater yesterday
afternoon tho battering Babe made
his New York debut as a thcspan.
Teamed with Wellington Cross, vet
eran who fed him leads for rapid fire
comedy, the champion home run hitter
Of all time got away to a flying start in
boring under a severe handicap.
The Home Run King is suffering
from an aggravated case of laryngitis,

days ago, and the raw weather in
Boston last week did not improve his
affliction. The Babe, however. man

capacity; indeed, hundreds were
turned away.
Whether or not they all came out
to greet the Babe, undoubtedly the
great majority did, If one could judge
from the reception afforded the Polo
Grounds idol when he made his ap-
pearance. The applause was deafon-

the audience might be recognized
dozens of Polo Grounds regulars.
The Babe Even Singsl
The Babe is possessed Of stage
presence and an assurance that quick
ly wins the good will Of the audience,
and he appears quite as much at home
as when dofing his cap after complet-
ing a pleasure jaunt around the base

ammunition, and the Babe has the
nerve to pull part of song, which

point being topped by a silver bases

at an innocent quib over Judge Lands

That is the only reference the Babe
makes to Lands and his personal
troubles with the commissioner of
organized baseball. Nor would Ruth
discuss in any way his status. He
admitted that he had received a ques
tionnaire from the Judge several days
ago and that he had promptly returned
the desired answers in detail.

Columbia Players
Enjoy First Rest
Since September
koppisch Only Member to
Suffer Severe Injury in
Ohio University Came

Coach O'Neill yesterday gave the
Columbia football players the first
weekday lay-off they have had since
uniforms were donned early in Septen-
Der. The hard work Of the last two
weeks and the miserable weather con-
ditions were assigned as the reasons
for the vacation.
With the exception Of Walter Kop-
pisch, the entire Blue and White squad
came through Saturdays contest with
Ohio University unscathed. Koppisch
received a severe injury to his side,
which will require careful treatment
for several days. Trainer Doc Barrett
stated that the other men are in ex-
cellent condition.
Frank Brodil, whose collar bone was
broken in the Williams game, is rapid
ly recovering, and it is expected he
will be able to resume his place in the
squad in time for the Colgate game on
Thanksgiving Day. Korn's knee. which
was injured in the Cornell game a
week ago. is also mending rapidly, and
the 270-pound guard is expected to re-
sumo his place shortly.
Preparations for the inter-class
swimming and water polo meets are
coming along rapidly. The freshmen
and sophomores are in the pool every
day getting ready to meet the other
classes. The sophomore water polo
aggregation, which won the inter
class title last year, is looming up as
the most serious contender in this
branch of tank sport.
Coach Merner permitted the cross
country men no let up after the run
at Van Cortlandt last Saturday. Twelve
barriers plowed through the mud or
the South Field track yesterday in a
fve-mile workout.

Wiedorn Replaces
BOlles at Tackle
AS Navy Regular
Middies Start Two Week
Grind for Annual Service
Game With Army Here
spsotol Dispatch to Tho rriours

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 14.-Undis-
mayed by the feat at the hands Of Penn
State Saturday. the Naval Academy
squad started special practice this
afternoon for the Army game. A period
of two weeks will be given to this
preparation and the Navy hopes to un-
cover some new plays for the Army
cadets.
The squad is in excellent physical
condition, not man being incapaci-
tated. Wiedorn was placed at left
tackle this afternoon, in place of
Bellies. Wiedorn is powerful and
experienced player, who has been on
the squad three seasons and has been
a close contender for a line position
for the past two years. In the game of
Saturday he first replaced King, and
then went to Bolles's place when King
returned to the game.
Folwell devoted some time this af-
ternoon to certain fundamentals. The
punters also had a session, and there
was some signal and formation drill,
followed by plays against a scrub team.

the multitude of colleges in that Sec
tion.
Speaking Of coaches who have the
ability to inspire players, we would
like to nominate Tom Ready, former
coach of Lehigh, as one Of the best.
Ready, like Bankart, played at Dart
mouth back in 1905 and was a slashing
tackle. He has been coaching at Yer
mont University this fall, and in this,
his first season at Burlington, he has
certainly made good. Vermont wound
up a successful season Saturday by
defeating it's chief rival, Middlebury,
thus winning the state championship.
One veteran FOOTBALL observer told
US before the Yale-Princeton game he
favored Princeton because the Tigers
the Ellis. He claims Keene Fitzpat-
rick is q better trainer t.an johnny
Mack. The results Of the contest
didn't prove this. More than one
Princetonian was carried off.
When it comes to condition you have
to hand it to the service elevens. Penn
State is usually in prime shape, but it
had nothing on the Navy In this re-
hpcCt. lie 1cCcuC struggle between
Notre Dame and the Army was also a
battle between players who were in ex-
cellent shape.
There is no excuse for a player
catching punt back Of his own ten
yard line. That blunder Is as foolish
as baserunner failing to touch the
bag. Yet in two successive games we
have seen an Army player and a NAVY
man make this play. The Army player
did it twice, in fact, in the same game
