Athletic Survey Being Pre-

Six Months.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. July 15.-A
shortening of the preliminary season
for football practice at Yale, Prince

two weeks or even to a single week. is
quite probable in view of the task
undertaken by President J. G. Hibben
of Princeton. A. Lawrence Lowell of
Harvard, and James Rowland Angel
Of Yale. it is stated here by those
closely Identified with Yale athletics.

he joins, and to end the practice Of
recruiting prospective stars from pre-

The committee has been at work six

expected to look upon athletics from a
university rather than an athletic stand

Wheat Johnston Trade
to Pirates Ridiculed
Steve McKeever Denies Report and Robbie Says He
Knows Nothing About It-Schmidt, Barnhart
and Tierney Offered in Exchange.
BY DANIEL.

Brooklyn headquarters, there may be
something to all that talk Pittsburgh
must have an outfielder. 1t had counted
on Fish, the Sioux City man, but he
was awarded to the White Sox by Judge
Lands the other day. Yesterday Nc
Kechnie got a man by the name of Mil
ler from Wichita Falls of the Texas
League. That hole In right field Is a
big one and must be plugged before the
Pirates can hope to make any headway.
Robbie could not part with Wheat The
fans over in Brooklyn would not stand
for such a move. But he has others
whom he might consent to trade If he
could land n shortstop.
The Dodgers must have a new short
fielder-and they need him even more
urgently than the Pirates need that out
fielder. Barnhart. who proved a failure
at third base for Pittsburgh, would not
help Robbie. Tierney is a good second
baseman and he might do at short.
Schmidt Is the headiest catcher in the
National League, but he would bring
with him a $4,000 contract, and that
might prove a bar over in Flatbush.
McKechnie evidently does not hold as
high an opinion of Tierney as did Glib
son. The resigned manager declared
that he would not trade Tierney for any
other infielder in the league. There
may be real developments to-day, for
the Dodgers and Pirates move into
Flatbush for a game this afternoon.
They will rush right back to Pittsburgh
tonight

What! Trade Zack Wheat and
Jimmy Johnston! Say, where are those
boys getting all that stuff these days.
It's pipe dream-something like that
Ruth yarn they sprung the other day."
declared Steve McKeever, speaking for
the Brooklyn club yesterday afternoon.
In the absence of Charley Ebbets Steve
assumed the official toga and took It
upon himself to deny with vehemence
the report from Pittsburgh that Zack
and Jimmy were to be exiled to the
Pirates in exchange for Walter Schmidt.
the catcher, and others not named.
From Pittsburgh came the word that
Wilbert Robinson had stated that he
knew nothing about a trade and that he
had laughed at the notion of getting rid
Of Wheat and Johnston. 1t was added
that Bill McKechnie. the new manager
OF the Pirates. had offered Schmidt.
Tierney. the big second baseman. and
Barnhart, the third baseman, for the
two Brooklyn stars. That would be a
fine trade-for the Pirates.
Pittsburgh's willingness to send
Schmidt and Barnhart to the Dodgers Is
nothing new. George Gibson broached
proposition along that line. involving
Wheat. here last December. but your
Uncle Robbie only laughed at him.
"Schmidt is q great catcher. but where
would we be getting off trading Wheat
for anybody" asked Robbe--and he
went without reply.

Knepper Adds Another
Golf Title to His List

OMAHA, Neb., July 15.-Rudolph
Knepper of Sioux City. Iowa, is the 1922
transmississippi golf champion.
The Sioux City star. who had recently
won premier honors at the Iowa State
tournament, took the transmississippi
title from George Won Elm of Salt Lake
City, and 4. IN their thirty-six hole
match here to-day.
1t was not SO much by superior golf
that Won Elm was retired as champion
as 1t was by inferior playing, In the opin-
ion Of the gallery Apparently 1t was the
Princetonian's match from the start, the
challenger finishing the morning round
up and pressing his advantage to the
finish.

national champion, was in the umpire's
chair when Tilden opened service.
Tiden won his game easily enough
his drives being crisp and decisive from
the start and his service severe.
Richards also took his service game,
thanks to the fact that he was getting
his first ball over at that stage. Games
went on service all the way to the
eighth, when Tilden broke through at
love- and that one break was enough
to give the champion the set at 6-3.
Some Good Rallies.
Some of. the best rallies in the set
came In the seventh game when the
score stood all. Tilden was serving,
and though he managed to win four
points in row, every point was keenly
fought for and Richards bobbed UP with
some wonderful recoveries and still more
wonderful placements. 1t took Tilden's
best speed to turn Richards back in that
game, but he was equal to 1t and more.
The succession OF sparkling rallies
served to bring Tilden into his best
stride. and from that point on 1t was
just case of playing out the match.
Winnie" trying desperately, was unable
to win more than one game OF the re-
naming fifteen. 1t was overwhelming
Strange to say the one game that came
Richardss way in the second set was
on Tilden's service, after the national
champion had led at 40 love. Two outs
a net and a double fault by Tilden and
placement by Richards gave the latter
five points in a row and the game.
The points in the match were 80 for
Tiden and SO for Richards, and the
earned points SO to II. The point score
