FOUR CONTESTS TODAY KEEP SCHOLASTIC FIVES BUSY
Chances Slight Boston Red Sox Figure Flag Race This
Hold Everything
BY JOE HOLMAN

Within the next several years
certain Eastern colleges are to
quietly segregate themselves from
the general football scramble and
operate in cliques.
This was an impression gained
at the recent football conclave
in New York.
There will be no formal an
nouncement accompanying tn S
move. The institutions mentioned
merely are to arrange their Sched-
ules in such fashion that all save
a chosen few shall be eliminated.
Self Defense
Pressed for an explanation
II indeed they are preSSed-they
will be prepared to file an
answer, which will be that
their athletic affiliations are
confined to colleges adopting
similar entrance requirements
and academic policies.
Columbia University, it Is said,
likely will have an important
hand in such a movement, while
other well-known Eastern inStitu-
tions are expected to follow suit.
The general impression is that
such a procedure will virtually
force such elevenS as Georgetown,
Pittsburgh and others of similar
ranking to band together in self
defense.
Such q step unquestiOnably
would detract from the de-
mOcracy Of an outstanding
sport and would, in many ways,
encourage SnObbiShneSS.
Whereas football heretofore has
functioned on healthy footing,
the aforementioned action would
transform it into "a clannish,
individual game, lacking much of
the glamor and rivalry that has
promoted it to its present position.
If elite Eastern colleges slant
off into cliqueS, it is gathered,
Pennsylvania will be caught in
the switches.

7 E.AM IN
ACTION

Central, Business and Eastern,
Of the high school group, and Co
lumbus University, Of the inter
collegiate group, get into action TO-
day in games at various gym
naSiums.
Central engages the George
Washington Freshmen at the
George Washington gymnasium,
on H Street, tonight at 1880
O'Clock in what could be called the
feature.
Business locks horns with Elmer
son at the Boys Club at $3.50
o'clock, Eastern entertains Wash
ington-Lee High at Eastern, same
time, while the Columbus Univer-
sity tossers entertain the powerful
Shepherd College five, Of Shep-
herdstown, w. Va, at the Central
gymnasium tonight at 8 o'clock.
Four Games in All
In other words, there are four
games for the day, two at night,
involving Central and Columbus,
and two in the afternoon, involv-
ing Eastern and Business, against
Washington-Lee High and Emer-
son, respectively.
Central, by the way, has two
other engagements before the
week is out, one against st.
Johns tomorrow at Central, $3.50
O'Clock, and one against the
Princeton Freshmen Saturday
ut Princeton, N. j.
The Mt. Pleasanters do not
make their appearance in the
high school series until next Tues
day, when Tech is opposed. The
reason, then, for all Of the action
at this time.
Eastern is not keeping inactive
by any means, when you come
right down to it. The Lincoln
Parkers not only play today and
in the series Friday, but tomor-
row as well. Tomorrow, Eplsco-
pal, of Alexandria, is listed at
Alexandria at 3:45 o'clock.
Hold Game Seriously
The budding Columbus Univer-
sity five holds its game with
Shepherd College tonight very
seriously. In the visitors, the
locals will be playing a team
which has won the West Virginia
State championship two years in
q row.
This is the third year Coach
Frank Newcomb, of Shepherd
College, has had his men to-
gether, so it can be easily
realized what a flashy team
will appear on the floor.
The Columbus tosSers feel con-
fident of putting up a good fight,
even though they are going to
be outweighed and outclassed,
maybe. Coach and Athletic Di-
rector Ray Walter will use his
band Of former scholastic stars,
including Andy Morris, Johnny
Curtin, Eddie Dolan, Dan Connor,
Ray Quigley. Johnny Mealy,
Frank Plant and Ed DAILY.
A fast preliminary has been ar
ranged between the Calvary
brakes and Company E tossers,
of the Community Center League.
This game will begin at 8 o'clock.

MATMEN
SURE Of JOBS

With keen competition for al
most every position, every day is
a work day for the candidates
for Dukes wrestling team as the
opening meet with Franklin and
Marshall nears.
However, there are three Of the
mat men who have no worries
regarding their posts. Captain
Cole in the 155-pound class is
unopposed; Emory Adkins, star
center of the football team, has
things his way in the 175-pound
weight; and Leon Hughes, 22O-
pound gridder, is without oppoSi-
tion in the unlimited.
In the other positions there are
merry battles. T. j. Troxler and
Runt Rostic, sophomores, would
like to hold the regular post in
the 115-pound class now occupied
by John Gamble, veteran. In
the 125-pound weight, Roger
Gentry Is working hard to cinch
his position against Station Will
Jams and Clayborne Hurst, hope
full sophomores.
Lindsey Wall participated In
several meets as a 125-pOunder
last year but has put on weight
and is now o candidate for the
135-pOund class. Kenneth How
ard also wants the berth.
Spencer Plaster, John Poe and
Thomas Thomas, all untried men,
are in a three-cornered battle for
the 145-pound berth. Captain
Cole is in the 155 undisputed.
Moon Mullen, Elton Knowles and
O'Neill Bryant are bidders for
the 165-pound weight. Mullen
and Bryant are members of the
football squad. Adkins and
Hughes hold full sway in the
ITS and unlimited.

PINS
HOPES IN
MOORE

John (Shano) Collins said when
he was appointed manager of the
Boston Red Sox that he realized
the abilities of the men whose
activities he would direct during
the coming season. The boys on
the corner are still trying to
figure just what old Shane meant
by that crack. Many men, and
most of them not baseball man
ayers, have realized the ability
of the Red Sox since Harry Fra
zee diSmantled the old cham
pionS.
The outlook isn't brilliant for
the Red Sox this spring-not one
whit brighter than it has been for
several springs and falls. But
Shane Collins and Robert Quinn
are not going to share any rain
bows. They realize that diamonds
don't glitter in every rough, and
the Red Sox diamond at PenSa-
cola will not be cluttered up with
free eating ball players of little
ability.
Is HurIers on Roster
Fifteen pitchers just enough
for one full game-will go South.
Old Cy Moore, the Oklahoma far
mer who used to rescue games for
the Yankees, will be one OF the
colorful characters in Boston uni
form this spring.
Old Cy burned out a ShOul-.
der pitching the Yankees into
q pennant q couple of years
ago and was sold down the
river to the St. Paul club Of
the American Association. He
came back under the careful
handling of Bob COnnery, and
was brought back by the Red
SOx.
Moore Is still driving that team
Of mules he won from Babe Ruth
a couple of years ago. 1t is well
known that Moore is one of the
worst hitters in the world. But he
bet enough at a price to win $500
from Babe Ruth on a proposition
of making three hits in a season.
He won on the last day of the
season, making two blows. One
was an infield roller, and Ruth
still thinks he was framed.
BriIIheart with Team
Jim Brillheart, who was with
the Washington Griffmen few
years ago, will come back with
the Crimson Hose this year and
with more than a fair chance of
doing big things. Milton CASTOR,
who was also with the Griffmen,
will be with the club again.
AS a matter of fact, there are
no StandOut pitchers with the
Red SOx this year.
Muddy Ruel, veteran receiver
of the Yankees some years ago,
is back with the Red Sox after a
long service in Washington. Ruel
is one Of the few players whom
Miller Higgins failed to appre-
ciate. Hug thought that Ruel
never would make the grade, but
later freely confessed his blunder.
Charles Berry, former Lafayette
College star and promising
Major Lacquer will be another
catcher with the Red Sox this
spring. He and Ruel probably
will do most Of the receiving.
Right down the line, there is
little cause for enthusiasm in the
line up of the Boston Americans.
Once the boast and toast of the
American League, the club fell
upon evil times and evil days.
They are going out to make the
best of what looks like a sour
situation and let it go at that.

ONE YEAR TERM
FOR YANkS |

NEW YORK, Jan. 7!-While
all the Brooklyn players have al
ready learned how much the
Robin magnstes are willing to
pay them this year, the Giants
and the Yankees have still to
find out what's what about their
1881 pay envelopes.
And the Yankees, excepting for
four players who signed up to
two-year contracts last spring, are
going to find out that their new
contracts will call for the use of
their services for only one year
each, according to authentic in
formation learned today.
The four who don't have to
worry are Babe Ruth, Earle
Combs, Tony Lazzeri and Bill
Dickey.
All the other Yanks, including
Lou Gehrig, who is sure to top
the incoming class in the amount
of revenue to be derived for 1881
performances, must continue to
hope.
The club officials are under
stood to be strongly against sign
ing any players this year for
more than one season. The reso-
luton has been made in the past
by many clubs, but broken as
frequently as not.

Whereas Penn likely would get
together with a certain group of
colleges under ordinary circum-
stances, a longtime contract with
Notre Dame undoubtedly must be
considered before any move is
made.
1t is gathered that Pennsyl-
vania has complied a sizeable
athletic debt and that revenue
derived from annual gridiron war
fare with Notre Dame is playing
its part in paying the freight.
Barrow Denies Swap
Ed Barrow, official mouthpiece
Of the New York Yankees, and
Clark Griffith, Washington club
president, has jointly denied
wild rumor involving their re-
Spective ball clubs.
The proposed swap would send
Outfielders Dave Harris and
Sammy Rice to the New York
Yankees in exchange for Out
fielderS Dusty Cooke and Harry
Rice and Pitcher Henry johnson.
Griffith today said:
That's dead wrong. Neither
OF my players are on the mar
ket, and I'm not interested in
the New York men mentioned"
Barrow is even more emphatic
in his denial, declaring that he has
not even been sounded out on such
a proposition.
BOerner Gets Offer
Lean Larry BOerner, vet
eran District SandIOt product,
has been offered a 1881 base
ball berth with Norfolk of the
reOrganiZed Eastern League.
Several years ago Boerner. then
youngSter, was a prize pitching
prospect with Norfolk, of the now
defunct Virginia League.
Larry since has had his ups-and-
downs in organized ranks. There
fore he likely will welcome this op-
portunity of returning to his old
environment.
