 Tonight is "Silverware Night" A piece of silver will be given to every woman patron
 Carnival of Laughs
 "Everthing's Rosie" is a carnival of laughs. Woolsey, as side show faker, sells "Dreko," which cures everything from rheumatism to love; appears as the petty crook with a great heart who adopts helpless, abused waif, and raises her to a creature of grace and beauty, and takes turn as an auctioneer who sells Big Bens'' for "27 Jewel Swiss Movements. ,

FAMOUS ST ACE PLAY GOES ON SCREEN TONIGHT
Girl of Golden West Sup- plemented by Parrott's
 Organ Playing

"The Girl of the Golden West" taken from the late David Be- lasco's powerful stage drama of the same name, which had a steady run for more than two years in New York, is the featured attrac- tion on the new program tonight at the Coliseum treatre.
 Added entertainment will be the playing of the organ by Rex Par rott. He is now giving selections at every performance, much to the enjoyment of patrons. His offer ings this evening and tomorrow evening will be "Novelette," Dizzy Fingers" and My Heart At Thy Sweet Voice."
 The Girl of the Golden West" is set in the gold rush era of Cali fornia, one of the most colorful periods in American history, but essentially it is story of a love, and the regeneration of a man through the efforts of a woman.
 Minnie, the girl, walks untouched through many experiences, and in surroundings which might have made her vastly different than she is.
 Owner of Saloon
 She is the owner of saloon in Western mining town, a girl adored by all the rough miners, and especially by Jack Rance, the sher- if. However, Minnie does not re- turn this feeling.
 On the other hand she instantly falls in love with the dashing Dick Johnson, who mysteriously rides in- to town. He is a bad man" and is planning to rob Minnie's saloon, for the gold dust of the miners. Johnson really is Ramirez, the notorious road agent, who is be- ing sought from one end of Cali fornia to the other by the ever vigilant agents of the Wells-Fargo express.
 Cast Is Capable
 James Benr.ie is highly effective as Johnson. Ann Harding is cast as Minnie. Harry Bannister (Ann Harding's husbanO is the heavy in the role of Rance. Ben Hend- ricks, Jr., J. Farrell Macdonald George Cooper, Johnny Walker, Arthur Stone, Arthur Housman and many others make up capa- ble cast.
 Setting Is C0lorful
 The picture is colorfully set against the outdoor background of the Sierra Nevadas, in the gold country of the wild and lawless West.
 John Francis Dillon, who direct ed this First National picture from Waldemer Young's screen adapta- ton, went to much expense and labor in bringing the days of "49" back to the screen.

'BREATHER-GAME' BAN
ADVOCATED BY LEWIS
Lafayette College Head Brands
Matches of Such Nature
"Unsportsmanlike."

Pitt ,ADEI pHIA

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, December l9.-
Elimination of "breather" games from
the foot ball schedules of major col
leges was recommended today by Will
liam Mather Lewis, president of Lafay-
cite College, at the annual meeting of
the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate
Athletic Association.
One of the most unSportSman- like
things that any big college does is to
arrange several easy games and then.
late in the season, have another
'breather,'" said DR.. Lewis.
If these things are to be done
in foot ball, there is no reason why
the big college should use 40 men in
a game against small colleges l6 or
18 players"
Dr. Lewis also said such sports as
tennis, golf, swimming, squash racquets
and hand ball should be given more
prominence. especially as the graduates
can follow them out in later life.
DR.. E. Leroy Mercer, dean of the
department of physical education at
Pennsylvania and secretary y-treasurer of
the Middle States Association favored
the idea of reducing foot ball scheda
ules, pointing out that Pennsylvania
will play but eight games next sea
son. He predicted the schedule would
be reduced to seven games within a
few years

Southern Conference Action
Is Fully Backed by Coaches

for machinery to enforce them. The
coaches said they wanted foot ball held
to "a purely amateur sport" and 'Whis-
pered suspicion" eliminated. They
heartily Endorsed the appointment of a
commissioner clothed with full power" !"
I'VE have talked to practically all of
the coaches of the Southern Confer
ence and know their convictions" said
the statement. What they want is
equality in conditions underlying inter-
collegiate athletic competition. Some
of the coaches do not feel authorized
or free to state their views, and we are
undertaking to state not merely our
views, but those of the coaches of the
conference.
I'VE favor high scholastic standards
We would far rather work with men
who are in every sense true college men
than with those who are not.
I'VE are opposed to solicitation of
prospective athletes.
1--WE believe that athletic directors
and coaches should not initiate corre-
spondence with prospective athletes:
should not promise employment, ETC., all
to the end that students in preparatory
schools be absolutely free to make selec-
tion of college in free and deliberate
way. And, of course, We believe that
we should not in any manner encourage
others to do what we would not direct
ly do.
I'VE wish merely to take the boys who
voluntarily come to our fields, in their
own way, and build our teams from
them.
I'VE believe that athletes should have
no scholarships, privileges or advan-
tages that are not available to all stu
dents.
"All the coaches ask is that all in
stitutions have identical standards and
practices.
ITO provide for enforcement of uni
form scholastic standards, all the other
standards to maintain foot ball as g.
purely amateur sport in every sense of
the term, and to promote confidence
and eliminate whispered suspicion, we
favor the selection of a commissioner
clothed With full power"

RUSH AFTER COACH
Foot Ball Policy Will Be
Changed Before Mentor

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
~ RINCETON. N. j., December 10.
- The Princeton Tiger, battered
as never before through foot
ball season that brought only
one minor victory, will take long time
out before attempting to name a sue
cessor to Albert D. Wittmer as head
coach.
Wittmer. one of the heroes of the
bright days of Princeton's gridiron his
tory, resigned his post last night after
serving one year Of a four-year con-
tract. Before a successor to the man
who succeeded Bill Roper can be named
a more momentous decision regarding
the future coaching policy must be
made by the university Board of Ath-
letic Control.
Princeton, down from the days of foot
balls inception, has followed the policy
of graduate coaches, and the disastrous
season just passed was no exception
Wittmer's assistants were men who, like
himself, starred for Tiger elevens of the
past.
"New Blood" Demanded.
ouU LllC bCdSOll
opinion rose insistently in favor of
new blood" in the coaching staff, and
there appeared considerable sentiment
today in favor of a new head coach
from the foot ball world outside OF
Princeton.
The names of Jim Crowley of Michi-
gan State and Harry Stuhldreher now
coaching at Villanova, have been men
toned most frequently. They were
members together of the famous four
horsemen of Notre Dame.
There was the possibility, too, that
Bill Roper, who resigned and gave way
to Wittmer last year in order to resume
his law and political career, might be
persuaded to return to Old Nassau il
the Board Of Athletic Control finally
decided that Princeton coaching tradi-
tions must be retained Roper probably
will be consulted, at any rate He re-
Sponded once before to a rescue call.
Resignation Not Asked.
From a semi official source today
came denials of stories printed in the
first flush of the Wittmer resignation
that President John G. Hibben had
asked the resignation of the coach.
The rumor that the Advisory Com
mittee on Foot Ball had resigned be-
cause of the state of foot ball affairs
also was branded untrue. This commit
tee serves on a one-year basis only and
automatically is through for 1881.

1t looks like the buffers year, pals,
and maybe he is not going to make
the best of it. The pinfall this sea-
son has been heavy. and each dub
thinks he is the blue-eyed boy re-
Sponsible for it. So when he or she
walks up to that foul line next week
either one will believe that nothing
less than strikes will count.
With last years champion just
looking on, it will be an open battle
between a fierce tribe. Yessir, when the
bowling army starts to move on those
pins the mahogany market is going to
60 shorter than the stock market. If
one of those buffers cannot split few
pins into splinters he is going to COM
plain to the management. And IL he
can't topple 10 at time he is going to
demand to know what the Democrats in
Congress are going to do about taking
care of the bowlers.
A duckpinner is a terrible baby when
he goes tourney squirrelish. When he
unbuttons to take the big prize there
is nothing in the laws of the Nation to
stop him. He thinks red lights are
green and stop signs warning to
speed up. He grabs that ball and asks
all Of the rotogravure photogs to keep
in line to the right. He demands that
the dignitaries in the audience step to
the rear, and then. shoots as he de-
mands the first prize be mailed to his
home.
But when the ball rolls into the
gutter he asks that the alley be moved
out a little farther and starts all over.
When he cracks the ten pin and miss
nine he wants to know which one of
his enemies nailed down the pins ard
tied an anchor to the ball.
But he hits the seven and four
pin on the next shot and wants to
know what man must do in this
dizzy country to gain the plaudits Of
his people. That baby thinks presi-
dents are elected on their bowling
scores. He believes that all other
sports are a libel on the great in
door pastime, and that the biggest
need of the country today is more
bowling alleys.
Yessfr, pal pin spillers, it is a great
game. 1t has progressed frcm base
