that Sikh was 80 scared he wanted

HARVARD
COACHES TO
TWOSEATS
Old Graduate Would Cut Men
tors Allotment From
Ten. ..

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Dec. g.
Ellerton James, 's5, wants Harvard
football coaches limited to two
tickets only for the Yale game. At
present their allotment IL ten good
seats. Furthermore. James doesn't
see any reason why members OF
Harvard's graduate schools should
be allowed any tickets at all.
James communication. addressed
TO the Harvard Alumni Bulletin,
has served only to. stir UP the
ticket controversy which raSed
most Of the last four weeks Of the
season. He says, in part:
"I do not see why the university
coaches should be allowed ten good
seats apiece. II would seem II the
coach was getting two good seats,
one for himself and one for his
wife, that was enough. Why should
he be given any moref have
seen this question repeatedly asked.
and have never once seen q satis.
factory argument in answer.
1T is perfectly proper that the
members OF the university squad
should get ten seats apiece. be-
cause presumably their entire fam.
ilies would like to 90 and see the
game, and the same 10 true Of the
four beats Of the members OF the
second squad; but here again do
not see why these coaches should
be allowed moro than two seats."

in the threatening rumors. His

A bold assertion perhaps, but
nevertheless powerfully backed

The principal point Of discussion

zones, one to be known as the Euro.
pean zone and the other as the
American zone. Any nation may
challenge In any zone. .-..
A separated draw il made for each
zone, and the winners Will meet in

THE HITCH OVER MAY.

THE possibility Of an unpleas-
ant break In the relations
between the Yankee club
and the Vernon club Of the Pacific
Coast League has revived the
rumor that Kerr Is to come to the
Yankees II Judge Lands declares
he Is eligible this winter.
For several years the New York
club has kept Vernon high in the
Pacific Coast pennant races by
shipping hich-class young players
out there for development.
In return the Yanwkees have
not received much. Shortstop
Johnny Mitchell was about the
best man lifted from Vernon and
he was not needed.
Catcher AL Devormer failed to
develop as Hupgins hoped he
would, and he probably will be
sent back to California.
Frank O'Doul, who was pur-
chased from the San Francisco
club through Vernon affiliations,
has been passed along to the Bos-
ton club.
Capturing the "pick" Of the
Vernon club this year is q compli-
Gated task. On the open market
jake Nav probably would BRING
$50, 200. The Yankee officials feel
they have the right to purchase
for much less.
