DAY OF ALIBI GONE.


DAY OF ALIBI GONE.
1t might be well at this stage OF
the game to impress upon the local
club owners that the day Of the
ornate excuse and the rotund alibi
Is just about over. For two years
the war was a fruitful topic for
excuse. Whenever fans kicked or
roared old Mars was dragged of his
militant perch for a few minutes
and shown as the reason why base
ball players could not be obtained.
After the dove of peace came
back to her accustomed perch an
other excuse was brought out Of
the camphor. busted of and fur
bished for the occasion. This was
the well-known alibi that other
clubs wanted all the best players in
the two clubs here, while they
would exchange only the senile and
the emeritis chaps Of their own
clubs.
This was not much Of an excuse
after several trades revealed that
the clubs get the stars here, and
did send their candidates for the
Pensioners Home in exchange. But
one phase of this barter and ex-
change was usually carefully hid
den and secreted from the outside
world. This was the fact that the
stars. in addition to the players,
brought a bale of cash that looked
very neat in the bank account of
the local clubs.
NO TRUMPETS FOR THAT.
No fanfare Of trumpets heralded
this spot cash transaction to the
public. and no messengers ran from
page to page yelling this fact. The
owner kept that fact neatly hidden.
and the only place where informa-
ton OF its existence appeared was
on the banks ledger. and those in
situations never reveal the business
Of their depositors.
Now. however. this sort OF thing
cannot still be tumult and the roar
Of the fans, so we have dragged
forth Percival J. Alibi in a new
role. 1t is the perennial moth
eaten old cry that exorbitant prices
are asked in the bushes for even
mediocre talent. 1t will be flung
into the faces OF the fans as soon
as the spring training trip starts.
and will be the subject Of several
interviews after the fight for the
pennant Is we'll under way. It Is
based on p. T. Barnum's immortal
theory that not only is there one born
every minute. but that the public
loves to be fooled.

TAD JONES SIGNS LONG
CONTRACT AS ELI HEAD
Resigns Job In Seattle to Pull
Yale Out of the Rut.

NEW MAVEN. Jan. 20.-Tad Jones
has been selected as Yale football
head coach under terms Of several
year contract. He will devote his
future time exclusively to football.
Since 1915 he has been an officer of

the Brooklanders found themselves

DUNN SPEEDS UP.
The happy insertion of Dunn

baskets. one clever follow on

Penn got signals badly mussed up
and a consultation was held. Tho
Brooklanders. for the next ten min
utes, forced the champions to display
all their brilliant passing skill and
prevented any but hurried and inef-
fective attempts at basket shooting.
In the last Ave minutes OF play
with Dunn leading the attack, Penn
was played off it's feet. McNichol
missed a free toss when it cost. Lynch
tossed in three OF three free passes
and Mcnamara, on follow-up or
Dunn's attempt. planted basket to
bring the score to 10 to IL.

that could be called Burns. So far
A. damaged Is concerned. Burns
never landed a blow. He never

Burns fault, however. He tried
every moment throughout the fight
except when he was groggy. 1t was
hopeless, preposterous, heroic. He
was a glutton for punishment, and
he bored in all the time, but a dew
drop in Sheol had more chance than
he with the giant Ethiopian.
Johnson play acted all the
time, and he played with Burns from
the gong OF the opening round to
tho finish Of the fight. Burns was a
toy in his hands. For Johnson It
was a kindergarten romp.

One criticism, and only one, can
be passed upon Johnson. In tho
thirteenth round he made the mis-
take OF his life. He should have

AS 10 the case many times IN
athletic competition a good team will
play below its level while a weaker
team will boost its standard to near
the equal of the stronger nye.

have been more sustained. But the

PLAYERS ARE MISSED.
Miller is not the equal OF Sweeney
in any department OF the game and
Huntzinger fails to approximate the
dependable Peck by many degrees.
The bulk OF the work falling to Grave
and McNichol, was ably carried. The
"cut and pass and cut game" OF Penn
Is not as smooth as last year. The
remarkable five-man defense. the
feature of PENIS basketball for a
number OF years. was much In
evidence and baffled the Brooklanders
throughout the first half.
Penn has won nine games now and
has beaten Columbia in the first in

On the form Penn showed here and
unless the three coaches can get a
better offense. the champions are

for the title.
GETS ITS CREDIT.
Catholic University Is entitled to
the highest credit for holding the
champions to 10 to II count. The
Brookianders played better than they
ever did before. They equalled the
Penn men in floor shooting and while
McNichol had the edge on Lynch In
free tossing there was no disgrace
in the defeat.
In the entire first half Penn played

baskets. The Penn players worked

lIllS IuiS.
Princeton was In the slough Of
despair way back in 1910. Yale had
succeeded In holding the Tigers to the
small total of twenty-five points In
seven successive years Of playing.
The 1910 contest ended in to 3
victory for the New Havenites. This
was the closest that Princeton came
to defeating its old time rival in FIVE
years. The 1905 game WAS a no-score
tie
Previous to this the Tigers had
not scored victory since 1908. On
that occasion che Jungletown warriors
beat their Eli rivals to the tune OF
IL to 8.
II was at the expiration Of such .
succession Of defeats that Bill Roper
was called upon to take up the Job
of putting the Tigers back on the
football map.
THEY DEFEAT HARVARD.
Those who follow football know
how splendidly Roper organized .
squad in 1911. Resuming gridiron Re-
lations with Harvard after . break
of years the Tigers were able to chalk
up win over their Cambridge rivals
through the fine all-around play ng
Of Roper-coahed football machine.
Yale was defeated the following
Haven by a 9 to 3 score. The revival
of the fighting spirit which those
victories brought about at Tigertown
did much to help Princeton continue
winning.
In 1918 a change in coaches was
made in Tigertown. The absence from
the gridiron Of varsity eleven caused
by the world war caused most tiger
town enthusiasts to be fearful OF ne
outcome of the 1919 season. All knew
that the material was not so good a.
most instructors would care to nave
upon taking up the football reins
after a layon.
However. Bill Roper lost no time In
sizing I'D his material and devising
he best football system for them to
play in order that they would show
maximum results. The tie with Hnr.
ward >and win over Vale proved the
soundness OF his coaching.
