COACHES COMPLAIN
All Over Country They Wall That Officials of Football Are Far Too Technical.

New York, Nov. 5.-From all parts Of the country are coming walls from the football coaches that Inc officials are entirely too techni- cal

 Many Of the leading coachcs' are contoniing that ime after time the game is stopped for some infraction of the rule when the slip had no bearing whatever on the play.

Chesbro, Man Who Gave .
 Marberry Start, Missed

Washington Nov. 5.-In Wash ington's brilliant victory over the New York Giants, the memory Of one man who played part vas lost sight of.
 Back in 1905, when Clarke Griffith managed New York in tho American league, Jack Chesbro was his star pitcher, as valuable as Johnson is to the Mats.
 This spring Griffith, remembering Chcsbros wizardry as pitcher. signed him to coach Washington's many rookie twirlers.
 At Tampa, Chnsbro was impress d by Narherry, told the world that he would be a great pitcher. He spent much time working with the Nat's great relief pitcher.
 No doubt Chesbro's instruction had much to do with NarLerry's success, T. is unfortunate he WAS not with tho team when f won a world serlos to see the fruits of his work.
 .About SIX wrhs after the season opened, Chesbro for some reason, was released

CORNELL 5 SCHEDULE HAS
 BEEN 4 VERY TOUCH ONE
Probably is Harder Than That of Any Other Eastern Eleven-Havard and Princeton Preparing For Big Clash Saturday.
By The A.scclatsd r1css.

'E Ai'N %A"'N. 'HfNA . 'N11s
 New York Nov. 6.-lnstead of what some critics described as a "hand- picked" schedule, Cornel's 1924 grl1lron program in the light Of the seasons developments, looms as one Of the most difficult Of any in the east.
 Having already tasted defeat at the hands of Williams and Rutgers, the big Red machine found itself for the first time last Saturday, upset ting the Haughtonless Columbia eleven, but the Ithacans still must face Dartmouth and Pennsylvania, now rates as two of the most for Inidable outfits along the Atlantic eeaboard.
 This Saturday. Gil Dobie's pupils take on Susquehanna as a prelimn. cry to their two outstanding games Neither Dartmouth nor PennsyNan- ia has been deefated so far. Both have powerful. resourceful attacks, while the Quakers kept their slate clean last week by downing the strong Lafayette team.
 Cornell, with an aggregation not up to Its standard of the previous few seasons has come forward rapid ly and apparently uncovered pros pectiye successor to Eddie kaw and George Pfann, All-American stars Ignacic Molinet, 19-year-old Cuban halfback who played a sensational game against Columbia in his first varsity performance.
 On form, Pennsylvania and Dart mouth figure to be favorites over Cornell in their annual encounters, Sbut if Dobie, in the next two weeks, is able to bring about as much pro- gress as he has done in the past two weeks, the big Red outfit will take a lot of beating.
 Meanwhile, Harvard and Prince Non are shaping their elevens for the first of the Big Three" engagements to be played Saturday at Cambridge. The Crimson promises to enter this game marked fayorite over the Tiger, which has been cratic and below standard so far. but the Orange and Black has had a faculty of rising to the occasion for it's an- nual grapple with traditional foe. Harvard has the better-rounded at tack and defense, but the Tigers are c pluclly, fighting crew.

CHAMPS WEAK SPOTS
Pennant Winners in Both Leagues Will Have Bolster Up Their Teams Next Spring.

New York. Nov. 5.-Although the 1924 season has been over only a few weeks, the champions and pan nant contenders In each league are already giving thought to next sea- son.
 It is apparent that even the pen nant winners in both leagues must do considerable bolstering If they are to again carry off the honors,
 Washington's pitching staff is a question. Walter Johnson may not return. It is hardly likely that the veteran southpaws, Zachary and Iogridge. will go as well next year.
 Detroit's worry Is in the infleld, shortstop Rigney is still handl- capped because of bad back. Sec ond base, problem for several years, has only the veteran Frank o'Rourke as a candidate,
 Pitching is George Sisler's prob lem at St. Louis and McGraws at New York Incidentally the outfeld of the Giants could be improved upon.
 Brooklyn, veteran club, could stand some young blood, Great pitching in which Tane and Grimes featured, kept Brooklyn in the running.
 Of all the contnnding clubs in the two leagues. Pittsburgh is by far the best fortified. It needs only an in- fusion Of the fighting spirit 10 put 1t over with e hang.

VARSITY SHIFTED BY COACH JONES All Players Are Given Chance
 Lineup

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 5.--Line- up changes amounting to . .rioder- ate shake-up yesterday marked the opening of scrimmage practice for the week by the Yale eleven. Root, who has been used intermittently at tackle. went to right guard, where Wortham and Eckart have alternat- ed all the fall.
 Root, who weighs 19o pounds, rose from the scrubb squad this fall by rapid stages and has divided the right tackle assignment with Butter worth, who appeared to have won the position. Roots qualification will be tested against the University of Maryland Saturday. Opposing teams have gained more ground through the Eli guards this fall than any other, the total aggregating nearly 1,S00 yards in four games.
 Another shift was the substitu- ton of Kline for Cottle at left half back, but 1t was understood that this was made 10 allow Cottle to rest. SOltlC MdtClitu tl6 pidCtlCC OuI uiu not get into the signal drill.
 Wadsworth was used at fullback in place of Allen, who was sent back to the second team with Bench. The coaches continued Bun nell at quarterback and he, Kline and Wadsworth divided the three touchdowns, which were registered equally With one apiece. The var. sity displayed exceptionally strong and fast scoring power. Bingham was injured yesterday. Potts re- placing him at left end. Potts him. self has just returned to the squad after months absence. Bingham's return to the lineup for the practice game with the freshmen today was promised.
 Scott. another player who was in jured last week, was able to get back into the lineup, replacing Wadsworth, who went to halfback. Yale's attacking program consisted entirely of line plunges, and it k apparently Yale's campaigning plan to develop an attack minus the aerial game. Yesterdays second eleven in- cluded: Hart and Osborne, ends; Richards and yandergrift, tackles; Brown and Dortham, guards: Burt. center; Bench. quarterback; Falling and Lindley halfbacks, and Allen fullback.

EAST LOSES PRESTIGE
Early Games This Season Makes It Appear That Midwest and West is Stronger.

Chicago, Nov. 5. = Early season gridiron scores make it seem as If the east is losing much of its foot ball prestige.
 Chicago, after being defeated by Missouri, rather surprised by its easy victory over Brown.
 Nebraska, humbIed by Illinois and Oklahoma, ran roughshod over Col gate, a supposedly strong eastern eleven.
 Marquette, unbcaten for several years, kept up it's good work by de- cisively defeating the Navy.
 Notre Dame as usual whipped the strong Army team in a most con- Nlncing manner.
 Add to this list of disasters to eastern teams the defeat of Penn State by Georgia Tech and you have little for the effete east to enthuse over.

TWO PENN STARS ARE OUT.
Thomas and Laird Will Not Be Able
 to Face Georgetown.

Philadelphia. Nov. 5.-Thomas. quarterback, and Laird, halfback, will be on the bench when Penn plays Georgetown on Franklin Field Saturday. Dr. Light, the team physician, announced yesterday after examination of the two Red and Blue regulars. Thomas is limpins badly as 2 result of injuries he re- ceived early in the Lafayette game last Saturday, an examination of his left knee showing that the fragments are torn. Laird will be out until Penn meets State, as he is suffering from a broken collarbone.
 Either Al Leth of Brooklyn Or Andy Thompson will start against Georgetown at quarterback on Sat urday. Leth called signals for the second team's scrimmage with the freshman yesterday.

COFFROTH WANTS
 ID JET BIG FIGHT
Anxious to Match Wlls-Delnp.
 Sey at Tia Juana

New York, Nov. 5.---James W Coffroth, king of Tia Juana. is ir the white-lght village talking horses, heavies and hopes.
 James w. has been told that the football of pugilism--a Dempsey. Wills match--can't be held in New York or New Jersey because of deep-rooted political objections.
 James w. says he'd like to take the football out west and kick 1t for goal on a lovely spot adjacent to his race track.
 It's hard to tell whether James W. is serious or merely talking for pub licity. A race track needs publicity. Especially one like James WIS, which runs for 100 days and offers s5S,oo0 purses.
 Coffroth at least has money. If 1t takes million 10 swing the match Coffroth can get it. He went into Tia Juana with a bland smile and a secondhand saddle and ran the two into a nest egg fit for a golden eagle.
 Coffroth has the promotionsl ex- perience. too. He wouldn't sprinkle ashes on the ice cream as the boys did in Shelby. Mont, when Gibbons and Dempsey labored through IS rounds.
 There was time when Coffroth was as big in pugilism as Tex Rick ard is today. Bigger maybe.
 Every heavyweight champion, from Jim Corbett on boxed at his San Francisco embellishments, Jeffries. Johnson. Willard, Demp- sey.
 Dempsey lost the talked of four-round bout to Willie Meehan- the Aunt Eppie Hog of the heavies-- at Coffroth's club.
 All the lightweights. from Kid Lavigue to Leonard. with the single exception of Freddie Welsh, also boxed for him.
 The 1sS-pound, or light heavy weight championship, was created at Coffroth's club. Fitzsimmons de- feated George Gardner in 20 rounds and was the first official title holder in that class.
 This fact Is disputed by Philadel- phia Jack O'Brien, who contends a bout held in 1902 at Fort Erie, be- tween Gardner and Jack Root for the light heavyweight championship, preceded the Fitzsimmons.Ga Gardner bout at Coffroth's.
 ] You May consider this important enough to argue about when you get home to the wife and kiddies to- night.
 Coffroth Is reformed newspaper man. Moreover, he was once 8 baseball magnate. Back in the '90s he owned the Frisco Seals in the Pa cific Coast league. Baseball was not hot stuff in those days.
 James W. gave the club away. for a song. It is recorded that the song was not particularly good either.
 Later when he tried to buy the club back for s225,oo0 he was turn ed down.
 "1'm in earnest about pulling off big fight at Tia Juana," insists James W. T don't want Dempsey and Gibbons. can get that match easy. What I want is Dempsey and Wills. I am sure of miIlion-dollar gate. Shelby drew S50o,0o0 and nobody was certain the fight was even on. Tia Juana can double that without wigsling an ear--or anything else"

New Britain herald., 1924-11-05

Connie Mack at the opening Of the 1924 season predicted that his club would run second. It didn't.
 The usually taCiturn leader of the Athletics based his belief on the of- fensiye strength which he felt sure Strand. Simmons and Bishop would add to his club.
 Strand, who had made over 300 hits in the Pacific Coast league, was the player Mack banked most on. 1 However, his minor league batting . average of 400 meant nothing 10 American league pitchers. He failed. ! Around the failure of Strand to de- 1 liver can be written the story of the Athletics poor showing during the first fou" months of the campaign. Made Strong Finish
 The club lacked the punch, a cleanup hitter who could come through with mon on the bases. During the last two months of inc race tho Athletic played practically 500 baseball, made q better uhow- ing over that period than any other club in the league.
 The bnlated dash of the Athletics came after Outfelder Bill Lamar had joined the club. Lamar, twice before in the majors was secured by Mack from the Tole- do club of the American association. i In payment he gave the highly tout d Strand and the veteran pitcher Rollie Naylor.
 Lamar Supplied Punch
 Lamar started to hit the day he joined the ball club. From that very day the Athletics began to pcrk up. At the close of the season. the carly part of which was a keep dis appointment to him, Connie Mack remarked:
 Tn Lemar I have finally gotten the man so badly needed in my out field. He has given the club q bat ting punch. After he joined us we played the hest ball in the league. Lamar makes the Athletics a strong prnnant contender"
 During the world series I bumped into Lamar, who lives close by Washington. He was delighted at having made good in his third chance and gave much of the credit 10 Manager Mack. That he is much. pl'ased with his berth was evident from the following remark he made to me:
 Now Shooting At PCnnant
 Every man on our club h"iIeycs We have fine chance to win Inc rennanr next year, Our fine show ing in the homo stretch has supplied that much needed confidence in our ability.
 The Athletics can field as well as the rest hit pretty well and f VIC get tha pitching of the last few months look out for lis in 1925.
 Looks like an open race in inc American league next year and tho Athletics have the big chencc juet ahead.'
