Yale Heads Expected
To Approve 0deII
As Coach Today
Contract Limited to One
Ieor Due to War and
Eli Retrenchment
BY tho Associated Press.

b, tho Associated Press.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. May O.
Approval Of 3l-year r-old Howard
Howie) Odell, of Sioux City, Iowa,
former University Of Pittsburgh
backfield ace, as Yale's head foot
ball coach was expected today when
the universitys corporation holds its
monthly meeting.
The name of Odell, erstwhile as
sistant football coach at Pitt, Har-
ward, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin,
was to be submitted to the corpora
ton by Yale's graduate football
advisory committee.
Never Before Head Coach.
Odell was among more than a
score OF coaches interviewed by the
committee for the post which has
been vacant since January l when
Emerson (Spike) Nelson's resigna-
tion became effective. Like Nelson,
Odell is non-Yale graduate, having
received his degree in 1885 from
Pittsburgh where he launched his
career.
In coaching circles, Odell, al
though not a so-called big-name
mentor, is rated as one of the
smartest young men in the business
even though his experience dates
only from 1885 and he never has
served as head coach.
Given One-Year Contract.
The contract, understood to have
been given Odell, calls for his serv-
ices for one year. The uncertainty
of intercollegiate footballs fu-
ture due to the war, and Yale's re-
trenchment program were reported
to have been important factors in
deciding the terms OF the document
Odell learned his football as a
member of the Sioux City Uowa)
High School team. He played half
back at Pitt in 1882, 1888 and 1894.
Yale's 1912 schedule calls for
games with Lehigh, Pennsylvania,
Navy, Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell
Princeton and Harvard.

The public high school baseball
series. just past the halfway point,
Is developing into a race for second
place and the right to play Western,
champion last year, in the 3-game
series for the title. The Red Raiders
are moving along unchallenged in
first place, having won their fourth
straight yesterday by topping East
ern, 1913, but second place now
figures as a toss-up.
Preseason dope gave Anacostia
the best chance, but the Indians now
practically are out of the running
and moving up as a dark horse is
Woodrow Wilson. The Tigers possess
only fair hitting and fielding and
pitching Is far from dependable, yet
they are in a choice position with
three victories in four starts.
Miscues Hurt AnacOstia.
They came along well yesterday
by taking advantage of Anacostia
boots for a SO victory. Another
winning factor was the Shit pitch
ing of Jack Ogle, who isn't supposed
to be the Tigers No. hurler but
who yesterday almost handcuffed
the usually free-hitting Indians.
Elmer Leukhardt, Anacostia's man
of all positions, also did a good
mound turn and gave only six
safeties, but his teammates errors
brought his downfall.
Ogle struck out 10 batters, but
was surpassed in this department
by Luke who famed 13. Elmer also
touched his mound opponent for
two hits in three trips. one double,
but his mates failed to support him
either afield or at the plate and
made hardly scoring threat.
Don Hillock, Wilson'S lanky first
baseman, started the Tigers two
run rally in the second with a single,
but an error mostly was responsible
for the tallies. The Tigers finished
off with three more markers in the
sixth when Luke weakened and gave
a walk and hit two batters, which,
coupled with an error and Ogle's
hit, did the damage.

Free hitting and even loose field
Ing featured Westerns 1913 win over
Eastern Western was far from its
usual tight fielding and pitching
form, and Charley Hines, IN the
sixth, was knocked from the mound
for the first time this season when
he gave five hits, one a triple to
Jiggs Simpson and another a double
to Fred Sparrow, for five runs.
Clarence Kuldell, who relieved him,
permitted only one single for the
remaining 31a innings.
Western had the game practically
locked up from the second inning
when it knocked Ivan Harpster from
the hill and tailed nine times. Ray
Loves homer was a factor in Harp
ster's downfall, although Jim Karas
had begun the hitting with homer
IN the first inning. Three errors
and three bases on balls contributed
to Westerns second-inning spree.
Eastern was runnerup last season
but can be counted out now, having
won only one of four games. Coach
Charley Guyon has shifted players
from position to position and the
batting order has been revamped

DALE ROBERTS CAPTURES
STORE ROBBER

Private Dale Roberts, 20, of Nal
ia, made prominent headlines in
city newspapers, Tuesday, being
credited with flying tackle, that
it is believed will put a stop to a
series of robberies in New Orleans,
La.
It is stated that Private Roberts
was walking along the street near
a jewelry store, Monday night, when
he heard a crash, and then saw a
man hastily making his getaway.
Roberts went into swift action and
chased the party into a hotel, bring
ing him down with flying tackle.
Police arrested the man, 26, who
implicated his brother, 81. The
second man was later arrested and
it is said they recovered goods val
ued at $500, which is reported
had been stolen in a series of rob-
berries, by the two brothers.
Private Roberts is a son of Mr..
and Mrs. Lafe Roberts Of Malta,
and has been in the army since
October. 1910, when he went to
Camp Shelby, Miss, with Company
l., 166th Infantry. In February he
was transferred to New Orleans.
