PENN FIVE NEEDS
PLENTY Of WORK
Long Layoff Over Christmas
Holidays Has Slowed Up
Red and Blue

Coach Eddie McNichol, Of the Penn
sylvania basketball team, will start to-
night to whip his quintet into shape for
the opening Of the Intercollegiate League
Saturday night on the Penn floor, with
Columbia as the attraction.
Joe Decring, coach of the Morningside
Heights five, was the referee of the
Syracuse Penn game. which the Red
and Blue won Saturday night, II to 8.
In between the halves he was asked what
kind of a team he had, and he said
with smile that had u world OF mean :
ing, that he had very good team.
Deering's smile seemed to the sporting
writer's present to mean more than n
casual greeting. During the first half
the Red and Blue played anything but
the kind of game Deering probably ex-
goals by Bill Grave during the closing
minutes of the first half, the Red and
Blue would have been on the short end
Of the score.
The Penn five that started the game
seemed to be tired out after the first
ten minutes Of play. their general work
lacking the spirit and dash that mani
tested itself during the early minutes
This was due to the lack Of practice
during the holidays and the long layof
from competition. Syracuse played sev
eral games during the holidays ant
looked fit. Hard work during the coming
week, which is expected to be the pro
gram Of Eddie McNich0l, should brinl
the team around in the kind of shap,
necessary if Penn is to figure conspicu
ously in the championship fight this
year.
The new combination starting Sat

games with Mouranian and Rosenast a

Chicago; Jan. 1O.-The completion
OF one OF the most thorough house
cleanings baseball ever has had Is con
templatcd by club owners in the meet
ings scheduled here this week to reor
ganize the national agreement and the
pact between the leagues.
There are many things that need TO
be changed said President Heydler, of
the National League, 80 that they will

agreement between the major leagues
and the new agreement between ma iors
and minors, which Is to be presented to
the latter. It is likely that new form

one that shall embody the new prin :
ciples Of baseball.
i can't say just what clause may
be inserted. but something should be
put in to aid in putting down evils that
have infested the game in recent years
Players. magnates, league officials and
everybody connected with the handling
of the game must be in accord with the
ethical side Of the next agreement.
1T may be that a new set of rules
will be drawn up for conducting the
worlds series in future. as well as the
distribution of the money from the
series and from other post season
games. The idea of permitting the um
pires in the big series to receive per
centage of the receipts instead of q
stated sum, may come up for discus
sion. 1t is possible the new national
commission, or rather the new govern
ing body, may need larger portion OF
the receipts than the former 10 per cent
because under the new conditions it may
cost more to run the game"
Sentiment among minor league lead.

proposed new national agreement. ac.
cording to reports today. President
Mains, of the Ontario League, a mem.
ber of the committee, said today. after

A copy of the new agreement as drawn
up by attorneys is in the hands of tn,

One reason for the unsettled opinion
of the minor leagues, it is said. is tn,

Penn Sho,Us Promise in
Defeat, While Harvard

PO,Uer
QUAKER CITY BETTER

THE ice hockey season is in full
l. swing. Virtually all the large
eastern colleges now have seen action.
Yale, Harvard. Princeton. Penn.
Dartmouth, Fordham, Boston College;
Bates and dozens Of others have opened
their schedules and what promises u!
be the greatest season in the history ol
college hockey is now on.
It remained for Penn to start lts
campaign last Saturday night against
one of the strongest and most expert
cnced club teams in the east. Penn had
the courage to oppose st. Nicholas ~
it's initial start and while the result
never was in doubt, the remarkable
showing Of Penn was most encourag-
ing.

score probably would have been not
more than 3 to 1.

and Cooke featuring, presented as
good college team as has appeared
here this year. Both Yale and Prince
ton have been seen and neither seems
to have anything on Penn. Two goal :
keepers were tried out-Jeferys and
DcKorn-and it soon was discovered
that Jcffcrys, while still very green,
was the man for net duy.
Big Hockey Week
This will be another big week in
hockey here. Princeton will make its
first official appearance Of the year ut
! he Ice Palace tomorrow night. The
Tigers will face the Quaker City sex
tet. Princeton is going up against
just as dangerous n foe as Penn did
against st. Nick.
The Tigers will be seen here again on
Friday night, when Captain Maxwell
leads his boys against Penn in the first
intercollegiate game of the season. The
real college atmosphere will attend this
clash. Princeton plans to bring along
its rooters and cheer leaders, while Penn
will be supported by its band, a cheer =
ing section and les veteran cheer leaders.
1t will be Il football scene reproduced

Princeton has very promising team.
In its lineup is Haight, last year s

best in intercollegiate hockey last year.

teams that will be in action.
A word in passing about the game
here on Saturday night. Trenton played

condition was big factor. There are
veteran players on all the clubs that
cannot play two such hard games in
succession, and that was very evident
after witnessing these two contests.
