DARTMOUTH SIGNS THREE YEAR GRID
 DEAL WITH LIONS

Hanover, N. H., January 15 = (UP) = In what some felt was a step toward formation of a rum ored eastern intercollegiate foot ball conference, Dartmouth has an- nounced signing of a three-year home-and- home football agree ment with Columbia.
 Dartmouth and Columbia last met on the gridiron in 1891 and the New York eleven won 1926. They meet at New York November 30, 1885; at Hanover November z, -1936, and at New York in 1897 on date not yet set.
 Inclusion of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell and Brown on the 1885 Dartmouth schedule was considered signifi- cant, because those even colleges, with Pennsylvania, have been men, toned as potential members of an eight-team eastern conference.
 The program mapped out for Red Blaik's eleven next fall calls for a 10-game schedule. believed the first in history, including six major games.
 The schedule: September 2s. Norwich; October 5, Vermont: 12, Bates; 19, Brown at Providence, R. l.; 26, Harvard at Cambridge, Mass; November 9, Yale at New Haven; g. William and Mary; 16. Cornell; 23, Princeton at Prince ton. N. J.; 30, Columbia at New York.

 SPORT s,PARADE !. AfARHa@ 0WWXXA A2X sj
By STUART CAMERON (United Press Sports EditOr)

New York, Jan 15-UP)-The matter of the return of Babe Ruth is still some weeks off: and any number of things may happen meantime, but one very choice bet to make with oneself or friend is that the Babe will announce his intention to play right field and strike home runs for the Yankees. "just one more year."
 Athletic legs being what they are and the Bam's spindles in particu- lar being what they are, there is little likelihood that Ruth will be able to stage 8 series of final fare- we'll tours'' in the Bernhardt or Lauder manner. However, the more the cards are shuffled and dealt the more probable 1t becomes that Ruth, if he is to bef active in major league ball this season, will change hls mind and sign with the genial Colonel Ruppert.
 Every American league mana geria1 possibility has now been ex- ploded as far as the Babe is con- cerned. It's inconceivable that the American league would let him go over to the National, even if a member of the latter circuit wanted him as manager. The Babe sirn- ply will not become minor league manager.
 Thus, Ruth has only two courses ito quit the game for one season or to sign with the Tanks, and no- body thinks the Babe would even consider dropping out for one year,
 The Yankees, incidentally, haven't the least idea as to Babes plans. him since he left for Japan," Ed row said that the club has done nothing about preparing a new con- tract.
 were going to wait until he comes back" Barrow explained. "All can say is that he is under contract to us and nothing about "a contract or any other move will be made for weeks yet"
 It would be interesting to really know the clubs attitude toward Ruth. If the box oce could speak 1t undoubtedly would say ives. !" But the Yankees are e unique club, or, to state it more precisely, Col Ruppert is a unique owner. He has no objections to turning an honest penny of profits but he'd lots rather drop a kings ransom if he could own a winner on the field. Which is by way of backing into the sub ject of the value of the Babe as an all-around player.
 Oneof the Bam's best friends among the sports writing set last summer came out with an "open letter" urging him to quit. Babe didn't take kindly to the suggestion and he didn't quit.
 There is no intention here of selling Ruth short, but 1t does seem that his greatest value would be in the pinch hitting role. The Babe can't field as he once did, but ha still can hit. And no pitcher would relish the prospect of facing Ruth with the bases loaded in q close game. He'd have to wa1k in run or take chance.
 Connie Mack is q very important dissenter to this notion. Connie says the Babe could play at least 100 games in 1885.

Tom Flanagan, director of the league, is around with big smile these days. Why wouldn't he be. Take a look at the standing and you will find the reason. The first eleven teams are so closely bunch- cd that any one of them has a chance to come under the wire winner. Tow says his only worry is if the boys will stand up under the strain.
