THE SUN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1819. 19 Rain IBadlyHampers Eastern Elevens in Their Final Preparation for To-morro- w's Big Football Contests HANOVER GAME MAY DECIDE CHAMPION Colgate nntl Dartmouth, if Unbeaten \Will Jlcct for Title. WB1KU YEAR OF FOOTBALL so Titnlnr Games Ever Have IJceii Plnycd on Green Team's Field. In football, the word \championship\ i an elusive, Indefinable sort of thins, and thre are many who claim that the word should be excluded from the sport because It savors too much of profess- ionalism and that colleges should play r.ot for the \championship\ but fox the defeat of their main rivals. This theory lj bated upon the most unimpeachable Ideals, but ever since. 1876 the \champ- ionship\ element has crept Into foot- ball. And this fall the football world is apt to see a championship contested on a field that never before has witnessed such an encounter. This Is Alumni Oval, Dartmouth's home field. In .Hanover, 8, 11. The possibility of the champion- ship being decided there hinges upon the outcome of two games this week end. If Colgate should be successful against Princeton, and If Dartmouth should beat Cornell, the \championship\ will be In the balance when the Maroon meets the Green In Hanover. Since 1S76 the championship has been decided on many fields New Haven, Cambridge, Princeton, Springfield, Mass., Philadelphia and, Manhattan Field. But never has a game played In Hanover had a direct bearing on the title. This It attributable to the fact that iiever las Dartmouth had any \big\ home games. Dartmouth Ties Vale In 10OT. Dartmouth was placed ' equal with Tale for the 1907 championship, but The only \bis\ game that the Green played that year was against Harvard, and was contested on Soldiers' Field. Dartmouth swamped the Crimson, 22 te 0. In 1S0S, too. the Green was rated high in football through its 11 to 0 victory over Harvard. Previous to the Harvard came, however, Princeton's 1903 champi- onship-team had eliminated the Green from titular consideration. Doth of these rimes were played away from home. Thus, In this year of weird happen- ings In football, we will no doubt see the Eastern title fought for on Dart- mouth's field. Although It Is a bit early to begin talking \championship It teems Improbable that either Dartmouth or Colgate will be beaten and If neither should be, the title will hinge on the Hanover game. Ilnrvard CvaainK Rules t The Harvard football team has come In for considerable criticism since the game with Brown for what many con- sidered the Crimson's violation of the rules. The Boston Traveller echoes what seems to be the prevailing senti- ment as follows: , \Harvard has some vital thlnga to remedy besides Its own playing form. It appears that'every scout from col- leges on Harvard's future schedule were considerably disappointed at Saturday's came because BUI Langford failed to nail alleged Harvard hurdling In the line, It Is argued . by. these, scouts that Ralph and Arnold 'Horween and Hamil- ton were the men able to get away with this violation of, tho rule without pen- alty. It Langford Is due to work In the big three games he will have consider- able to watch If these crimson clad hacks persist In having both knees or both feet ahead of them aa they clear the scrimmage line. \Another point that might well be cr. u to Coach Fisher's attention Is the fact that Bill Murray persistently makes forward passes when he Is not Ave yards behind his line of scrimmage. These two points are called to Harvard's attention principally for the sake that the team's great attack might tie spoiled by penalties arising from these trans- gressions and also because spectators don't fancy a bunch of penalties In a game, particularly If they come at a lime to spoil a spectacular play.\ In re Tim Callahan. Reports that Tim Callahan, the Tale rentre and captain, was having trouble with his studies and not with his leg ere denied at Tale yesterday. Calla- han Is suffering from a muscle raise. In so far as his studies are concerned, he Ib an honor man and holds a K. of C. cholarshlp. Callahan surely will be In there against Princeton. 6ECRET PEACTICE AT BUTGERS First In Fonr Years Three More Casualties. New Brunswick, N. J.. Oct. 23. Se- cret practice was held by Rutgers to-d- for the first time In four years In prepa. ration for tho Syracuse game on Novem- ber 4 In New York. San ford has a num- ber of new plays ready for the New Yorkers, and wanta\ to keep them under cover Rutgers so far has played only straight football. Three more casualties Mt the Rutgers team Alexander, tackle; Raub, the big guard, and Gardner, practically the only backfleld man left, were all Injured during the practice. Seven var- sity men are now on the side Uneif arid unfit for the New Tork Aggies game on Saturday. Melstrel of Brooklyn, quarter on 'he Erasmus team, was put la at halfback y, and Eckhardt was tried out at guard. The team that faces the Aggies on Saturday will be a second rtrtng aggregation owing to Injuries. UTTLE ON HOSPITAL LIST. rn . Slur Una Operation Per- formed on night Foot. PlIILADEUHIA, Pa., Oct 11.

Bptdal DeipatcS to Tn Suit. Caubriixib. Mass.. Oct S3. \When the Harvard varsity squad reported for prac tice this afternoon Keith Kane, the husky tackle, appeared In the stadium wearing a big bandage around his left ear. He did not don the togs, and It Is doubtful If he will be used against Vir- ginia Saturday. The practice to-d-ay waa of the mildest kind, somewhat different from what the men expected. Instead of a hard scrim mage a rehearsal of plays by both team A and team H comprised the 'great- est part of the session. There was nothing else but a light scrimmage. Hubbard waa In Kane's place at tackle. As Ralph Horween will be un- able to play and Casey will not start against Virginia Saturday, the backfleld will have Burnham and Arnold Horween to team with Humphrey. Burnham Is a fast hard runner and a strong de fensive player, but should a situation arise that would necessitate Casey get- ting Into the game he will be on the side lines. Team A was made up of Ryan and Steele, ends; Hubbard and Sedgwick, tackles; Clark and Woods, guards; Havemeyer, centre ; Capt Murray, quar terback, and Humphrey, A. Horween and Burnham aa the members, of the charg- ing forces. CORNELL ENDS WORK FOR DARTMOUTH TILT Ithacana Are Confident of Improved Shotting. Special Dtttttth to Tsa Sex. Ithaca. N. T.. Oct. 23. Final prepa ration for the Dartmouth game having been completed this afternoon the Cornell football team Is ready to leave ror New Tork. A squad of thirty odd play ers, In charge of Coaches Rush, Van Orman, Cool, Muans and O Hearn, will leave at noon, and hundreds of Cornell students will start either at the same time or at nleht to back the team up In the game against the Green. That the Ithacana are due to play a much better game against Dartmouth than In the Colgate tilt last Sunday la amply evidenced by the consistent Im provement shown during this weeks practice, which culminated In a long defensive scrimmage this afternoon. Whether or not the green Cornell players have got together, whether or not a football machine has at last been fashioned from the Inexperienced play- ers that make up the squad, no one here can guess, but the Impression that has come from the secret practice this week suggests that even the coaches are quite confident that Cornell will put up a real battle against Dartmouth on the Polo Grounds. Practically the same team that faced Colgate will meet Dartmouth, only a few positions being In doubt. Van Orman has been working his eads hard to pre- pare for Robertson and Cannell, the fast Dartmouth backs. The three that stand out are Wilson, Knsworth and Colvln, with the chances favoring the first two. Although Pendleton may start at left guard, the prospects that Strauss will get Into the gams early are very good. DARTMOUTH IS READY. Green Eleven, With Ends Oat, Is Weaker Than Last Week. Snelal Detpatch to Toa Sex. Hanovcb. N. H.. Oct 23. A long sig nal drill, with two elevens running through plays wound up Dart- mouth's preparation for the Cornell tilt Saturday. The squad of twenty-tigh- t men leaves here for New Tork noon. With both first string ends out of the game, the team la somewhat weakened since last Saturday. Cogswell, Werrltt Myers and Strang are out, and for the two wing positions Coach Spears la re- serving his choice until the last minute. The final pick for the berths Het be- tween 6uttme!er and Worth, at left end, and Gordon and Threshle, at right One othtr change has been made In the varsity lineup. Norm Crisp stepping Into the left guard position In place of George Moore. Moore Is out for a good three weeks with a badly wrenched knee. The lineup of team y, as It Is likely to start the Cornell game, was: Worth and La Sonnenberg, 1, t; Crisp, I. g. ; Cunningham, c; Toungstrom, r. g. ; Murphy, r. t: Threshle and Gordon, r. e. ; Cannell, q. b.,; Robertson, 1. h, b. ; Eckberg, r. h. b. ; Jot-dan- , f. b. DECIDE NAVAL TITLE. U, 8. 8. Pennsylvania Eleven to Play the Arlsona. The football teams of the battleships Arizona and Pennsylvania will meat at the Parade Grounds. Prospect Park, to morrow to decide the championship of the .New York Naval District. The Ari- zona already has been tested out. and was able to hold Columbia University to a scoreless tie. The Pennsylvania has won four straight victories, the New Tork Aggies and the Camp Mills Avia- tors being among Its easy victims, it has rolled up a total of 97 points to 21 for Its opponents- - Will Try to Pierce Colgate against the Maroon team. MacPhee played halfback on last fall's team and la a fast, heady player. Trim- ble also is a player of the fast, light' type and played on the 1920 freshman team on the Informal varsity In 1919. Ho also Is captain-ele- ct for the 100- - base- ball team. Wlttmer played last fall on the Sact team, and this year has been showing up as one of the best kickers on the squad. Ills work at lino plunging has Improved to such an extent the last few days that the coaches feel Justified In starting him against Colgate. Wlttmer also will draw the kicking assignment against the Ham- ilton eleven. The Pennsylvania Railroad will run five special trains to Princeton from New York Saturday. The game Is attracting a great deal of attention not only among Colgate and Princeton adherents, but also among football enthusiasts through- out the East. Tlie Princeton team has been driven hard all week and Its play showa marked Improvement The coaches are far from confident concerning the out- come of Saturday's contest, however. YALE TRIES NEW PLAYS FOR TUFTS Varsity Has Only Light Signal Drill Team Chosen for Saturday's Tilt. Bprcial DetiHtck to Tn Sok. Nw Havxn, Conn., Oct. 23. The Tale varsity spent to-d- trying out new plays for the coming Tufts contest and practicing a defence for plays Tufts la likely to use. Signal drill and Individual Instruction made up the rest of the practice for the varsity, but the second varsity played the second college team In a short scrimmage which ended with both teams having scored a touchdown. Otis, left tackle on the second varsity, formerly second string end, scored his team's touchdown on a sixty yard run' after Intercepting a forward pass. Later the scrubs penetrated the second varsity, but were halted for downs on the varsity one yard line. Then the scrubs toolt the ball on tho ten yard line and on the first play Grleb went around left end for the scrubs' touchdown. The varsity lineup which probably will play against Tufts went through signal drill, and Is as follows: Relnhardt left end: Walker, left tackle; Acosta, left guard; Galvln, centre; Oatt, right guard; Dickens, right tackle; Allen, right end ; Kempton, quarterback ; Crane, left halfback; Webb, light' halfback; French, fullback. Thome Murphy was at the field for\ a short time y. The Injured Ell la going about on crutches, but thinks ho can discard them in time for thn Brown game, two weeks ahead. Braden, who was almost blinded In one eye last Sat urday, was at the\ field and drop ktcKed several goals during the afternoon. Capt Callahan and Joe Neville, other varsity cripples, limbered up Callahan passed to Neville. SYRACUSE WINDS UP WORK. Team Ilecclves Last Practice for W. and J. Contest. Sptdal DeipatcK to Tai 8ck. Stkacosx, 17. T., Oct St. Syracuse wound up Its hard work before the strug- gle on Saturday with Washington and Jefferson by having an hour of signal and scrimmage drill this afternoon. The work was better than at any time this season, and this, together with -- the fact that every first string player Is In per- fect physical condition, makes Coaches Meehan, Horr and O'Neill feel confident of a victory over the Presidents. In the scrimmage against the fresh- man team to-d- the varsity ripped the yearling line to pieces. The forwards showed even more fight than against the Pitt eleven laBt Saturday. For ten min- utes the varsity back field players were Instructed In breaking up forward passes, as the man who scouted the Washington-Jefferso- n team In Its past games reports that Coach MerroWs players may try the forward pass often. On nearly every pass the backs were In the proper place and Intercepted the tosses. N- - Y. U. WORKS IN RAIN. Dotes New Men Ar Out for Violet Eleven. Rain did not deter the New Tork University football team from putting In a hard practice session on Ohio Field yesterday afternoon. Longwell and Gargan had their charges working through a steady downpour and did not dismiss them until darkness made the ball no longer visible. That the addition of Gargan to the Violet coaching staff has added new Interest in the gridiron sport at Uni- versity Heights was proved yesterday when a dozen new men reported for practice. Among these was Alderman who starred at quarterback at Andover In 1915. Several changes have been made In the regular line-u- p during the last week. The most Important has been the shift- ing of Capt Howard Cann to his old place at halfback. Cann has been call- ing the signals and this extra duty has tended to slow up his play. TO USE OPEN PLAY. Columbia Eleven Works In Secret for Amherst Tilt. If Columbia's secret practice on a wet and slippery gridiron yesterday serves to glvo any Indication of the style of play It will use in the game against Amherst on South Feld It la certain that the Massachusetts eleven will be forced to defend Itself against an open attack that will Include a wide assortment of plays based on the for- ward pass. Fred Dawson put the eleven through a long drill in formations It, which the forward pass predominated. Moderein. guard, who waa forced to leave the squad a month ago because of a wrenched shoulder, returned to the varsity line-u- p fpr a short time during the drill Fargo, who waa regular cen- tre on the 8. A. T. C. eleven last fall, donned a uniform for the first time and appeared for practice. He Is not eligi- ble at present, however. NEW TltlKITY COACn. ' Hajktosd, Conn., Oct 22. Thomas Shepherd, who played fullback on the University of Malno football team eight years ago, y took charge of the Trinity College squad as head coach, replacing George Buck, who resigned be- cause of business affairs.

Fin- ishing the last six holes In even 4s Walter Reynolds of Aronlmlnk won the medal In the qualifying round of the fall golf tournament at the Country Club of Atlantic City He returned a card of 77, only a stroke better than Frank Donahue of Buck Hill Falls, who In turn led F. W. Knight of White Marsh, last year's winner, by a single shot. This trio were the only con- testants out of a field of 112 starters to get under 80. An all day rain left the greens a trifle heavy, but that rather Improved the put- tings. Reynolds had few mistakes, his short game being steady, though he did tako three putts on the tenth green. Prior to that Knight had handed In his 7, the same that gained him the qualifica- tion prise here In the spring. A 4 at the homo hole would have given him a 77, but In an endeavor to keep straight he took his cleek for the second shot and shoved It to a trap. Donahue had a 75 coming to him until he weakened at the last three holes. Although It Is easier on the homeward Journey, L. C. Maxwell of Trenton took 44 to come hack after going out In 38. His 82 waa. a stroke better than the card handed In by E. C. Clarey of Bala, while Herbert Buchanan, the young golfer, led the Metropolitan con- tingent with 84. James C. Parrlsh, Jr., of the National Links, a winner here five years ago, made the first division with an 87. LONG WORKOUT FOR ARMY- - All Itesnlars Except nreldater Back In Lineup. Wist Point, N. T., Oct 22. In prep, aratlon for the Boston College game here next Saturday, the Army squad got a long hard workout on the plays this afternoon. The regulars were all back In the lineup except Breldster, the big guard. He still Is on the hospital list and. Is unlikely to get back In time for Saturday's contest. Although It Is fairly certain as to who the coaches will pick to face the Hub colleglates, yet one wing position, centre and a backfleld place are probably In doubt. Swarts has been doing so well of late that he Is making It hard for Greene to retain the pivotal Job on the varsity. White, the former Maine player who Joined the Army's hospital squad a month ago, was out y and with the Down Easterner back In the game and Tlmberlake, a promising flanker also attracting attention, the coaches are un- decided as to the one doubtful end posi- tion. GOLF CQMHITTEE NAMED. Weatoliester County Association Appoints Executive Committee. Tho Wykagyl Country Club was the scene of a dinner last night to the of- ficials of the Westchester County Golf Association as well as several club of- ficials of clubs of the association. Dur- ing the course of the evening an ex- ecutive committee was named for the ensuing year, to which waa delegated the matter of naming officers for the asso- ciation. This committee consists of John G. Anderson, Siwanoy; J. C. Wld-me- r. Wykagyl: R T. Waldron, Apa-wam- Harry Doty, Hudson River, and Morfatt, fit Andrews. During the day a tournament was staged for officers and committeemen of the association.. Both morning and afternoon rounds were played, with prises for low gross and first and second low net In each. In the forenoon W. W. Babcock of Dunwoodle won the low gross. Harry F. Doty of Dunwoodle took low net with Hugh McDonald, Sunning-dal- e, second. In the afternoon, low gross went to C. H. Paul, Gedney Farms. Dr. J. J. Thompson won low net, wjth I, Hellman, Falrvlew, second. FRESHMEN TO PLAY. Hamilton Institute Eleven Meets Colombia Yearlings. Coach Nolen's Hamilton Institute eleven, which last week defeated Stevens Prep, 20 to 0, will meet the Columbia freshmen on South Field this afternoon at 2:80 o'clock. The Institute eleven. In view of Its strong showing thus (ar. Is expected to provide nn uncomfortable afternoon for the Mornlngslde yearUngs and the game Is attracting much more attention at Columbia than the average freshmen tilt. Captures Qualifying Hound for Club Championship With 80 Tie in Handicap. By INNIS DROWN. Sportsmen of many clans gathered on the links of the Fox Hills Country Club yesterday to enter the tilt for the golfing championship of the New Tork Athletlo Club, exponents of about every branch of sport popular with the American pub- lic, which doesn't mean to overlook a little cession of draw or stud, sat In for the quest of club golf honors. W. L. Richards, Avho pays his chief golfing allegiance to the Engineers Coun- try Club, took away low gross honors for this qualifying round. Richards came through with a round of 80, which was one stroke better than U A, Hamil- ton, who makes Garden City his golfing headquarters. Following close behind this pair came Wesley M. Oler, Jr., who has scarcely ceased to listen to the plaudits of tho public for his skill ns a high Jumper when he topped college ranks as a wearer of the Tale blue. Tying with Oler at 83 were A. E. Ranney, another athlete of reputation, and Pierre Proal. Arthur MoAleenan, Jr., champion diver, dropped In Just one stroke back of this trio, while his father pushed him closely, finishing out with 85, Richards picked up what proved to be his winning lead on the first nine holes, which he did In 87. He ran afoul of trouble on the long thirteenth coming home, making a 7, and again fell Into parlous ways on the seventeenth, which cost him another 7. Hamilton found most of his trouble on the first half, going out In 42. He cut three strokes from this total on the second half. Here are their cards: rtlchards, out.. .. 4 J 4 8 5 4 S (17 Hamilton, out. ,.lt 4 I I t t 42 Blcharda, In., ,,111111(1 4 4 J0 Hamilton, In, ..444I44S4 4 it II Oler Misses Chance.

With the addition of Larry Doyle, Frank Frlseh and Jess Barnes of the Giants Guy Bmpea Treat' 'Em Roughs expect to have no difficulty In taking the measure of the Lincoln Giants win they meet the Harlem nine In the first double header of a series of three at Dyckman Oval, near the Dyckman street subway station. The second double bill will be played at Olympic Field, and the final two games at Dyckman Oval. The series will decide the semi-pr- o title of Manhattan. By DASIEL, Oopyrloht, 1919, by the Bun PnnUno and Publishing Aasoeioiion. ( note that Fred Fulton knocked out Gordon Coghlll In the third WE round at London yesterday. This does not Impress us as being a feat. Coghlll was n. Captain ih the Australian forces and. saw service In France. Before going to tho war he was the amateur heavy- weight champion of Australia. Capt. Coghlll scored a number of notable victories In army tournaments and was Australia's representative In tho Interallied tournament in Paris. Coghlll was favored to win the title, but he struck a snagr. Coghlll's opponent In the final was Bob Martin, and Bob scored a knockout In Just fifty soconds. So It took Fulton moro than two rounds to turn a trick which the comparatively Inexperienced Martin was able to record In less than a minute. Coghlll, we are told, is a splendlU specimen of manhood. He stands six feet two inches In his stocking feet and weighs 220 pounds. He Is even better built than the Adonlsllke Bom- bardier Wells. But, llko Wells, he has a glass Jaw and a touchy stomach. Recent advices from London made no mention of Fulton's bout with Coghlll, but stated that he had been matched with Jack Curphy, who was knocked out by Frank Ooddard last Bprlng. The bout with Curphy wus to be followed with a fight with Ooddard, who lost the English title to Beckett. The latest news from tho O'Rourke-Fulto- n camp, received on Tuesday, stated that they are to sail for New Tork on November 10. The pickings over there aro lean, for the British and French heavyweights have o wholesome respect for Fulton's punch and his boxing ability. Only thu other day we read an article by a knowing London critic, who stated that he was sure that Fulton was better than Jack Dempsey. Incidentally our British critic was certain that Beckett could beat Fulton. Pursuing, these syllogisms to a more or less logical conclusion we are confronted with the British belief that Merrie England has the greatest heavyweight In the world. Where Ignorance Is bliss 'Us folly to see your champion knocked out. In lie Tale's Football Defeat i. Says a despatch from New Haven: \Tale has been defeated at football by an eleven other than Harvard or Princeton only ten times In forty-thre- e years. This Information woo given to Tale undergraduates to-d- In a letter from Parke H. Davis, a member of the Intercollegiate rules committee, bearing upon the game which Boston College won last Saturday.' In tho period given Tale met 391 opponents. The first defeat was by the Army in 1904.\ We hate to believe that Mr, Davis, the Boswell of Frank F. Football himself and usually an accurate historian In gridiron matters, was responsible for this error. As we stated last Tuesday the defeat by Boston was the Ihlrteenth Tale has suffered by an eleven other than Harvard or Princeton. Tho first of these defeats came In 1899, and not In 1904. Columbia defeated Tale In 1899 by 6 to 0. That season will be remembered especially for the fact that Wisconsin and the great Pat O'Dea came to Tale Field. Wisconsin was beaten by 6 to 0, and O'Dea, by many regarded as tho greatest kicker of them all, failed by only a foot In an attempt to drop kick a field goil from close to the seventy yard line. Phil King of Princeton was the Wis- consin coach that year. King was sure that the Badgers would beat Tale, but his disappointment over the Wisconsin failure was compensated for a month later, when Princeton defeated tho Ells by 11 to 10, after Tale had held Harvard to a scoreless tie. Harvard did not play Princeton that season. If Colgate Fumbles It Is Likely to Ho Beaten. Colgate's victories over Brown nnd Cornell and Princeton's disappoint- ing showing against Lafayette and Rochester have made Colgate a big favorite over the Tigers In the game to be played There Is every reason to believe thnt Colgate will win by two touchdowns but these reasons are founded on the normal. If Colgate makes errors such as It made at Ithaca It will be beaten. We do not care how far abovr Princeton It stands In form. For many years the Tigers have shown the ability to make the most of the other fellow's mistakes. If Gillo, the.Colgate back, makes the fumbles which he made against Cornell he Is going to find them costly. There is nothing which Princeton dotes on so much as a ball fumbled by the opposition, and when this fumble Is made on a klcke.l ball the onno- - sitlon usually finds Itself m a peck No matter what may sam oi 'iifinrs irom year to year they have an hereditary ability to follow the ball. This nose for the leather has saved the day for many an apparently beaten Tiger eleven. So let Colgate bewnre! Fumbles on a Princeton field are like unto poison for the makers thereof. Bnmors Concerning Giants Are Flying Thick and Fast. . Rumors concerning the Giants aro flying thick and fast and before long wjmny expect to see some of these stories chryBtalllze Into fact. One report has It that Arthur Fletcher Is to become manager of the Braves and that ho b to take Benny Kauff with him. Maranvllle Is to become a Giant In the deal. Maranvllle appears to have outlived his usefulness In Boston, but he still has great possibilities as a player. Kauff would give the Braves what they need most color. Kauff would go only If John McGraw trot another experienced outfielder to tolto his place, nnd tho man Is after, wo are Informed from a reliable source In St. Louis, is McHenry of the Cardinals. Rogers Hornsby of the Cardinals also is wanted, and MoGraw is ready to open tne purse strings wide to acquire the players from Branch Rickey. The St. Louis club, as usual, Is not In good condition financially and it may be forced to let these men go. Rickey is sorely in need of pitchers and he may get one or two In tho deal if McGraw can trade In one of his catchers for a couple of hurlerc Snyder Is reported to have been offered to the Brooklyn club, but Wllbert Robinson Is not going to act. before the December meetlnsr of the le.ienp. At that time we may look for some reconstruction or tne uianis. bo me he Where Are Hockey Games to Be Played Here! Arrangements have been made for the resumption of hockey relation between the United States and Canada as before the war, and we are In- formed of plans for giving New Tork Its share of the sport. But It !s not made clear where hockey contests are to bo staged In this city. The old St Nicholas Rink has been converted Into a danco hall and will remain a dance \palace\ for at least eight years more. Hockey cannot be played either at Iceland or at the 181st Street Ice Palace. The only remaining rink Is the Ice Palace In Brooklyn. Hockey matches havo been played there, but the rink conditions militate against real hockey, nnd besides, tho manage- ment announces that it will stage no hockey matches this winter. Even the schoolboy league has been ousted. There Is a big chanco for a modern rink In the heart of Manhnttan, but efforts lo interest capital In nuch a venture recently proved futile. Columbia nails the Coming of a w Football Kra. Now that the restrictions on football at Columbia have been removed we may expect to be spared the spectacle of Williams giving the Blue and White eleven a sound thrashing. With thousands Instead of hundreds eligible for the team Columbia will be represented by a combination well worthy of Columbia football traditions and Columbia's position in tho collegiate world The system now In vogue Is unjust to the university and puis too great a burden of representation on the college. Columbia men hall the coming of a new era with delight. There may be only a small change for 1820, but In 1921 wo may expect to see an old Columbia schedule Yale Cornell, Pennsylvania and Dartmouth. ' BROWN REGULARS PRACTISE Get Into. Lineup for First Tlme'ln Five Days, ' iptdal De$pate to Tns Scs. PaoviOENcs, R. I., Oct 23. Most of the Brown regulars who have been on the Injured list for the last two weeks were on the Hem ror signal practice to day. However, the coaches do not In tend to use them in tne Norwich game. Among the players who put on suits to day for the first time In five days were Fox Coulter, Jeman. capt Nichols and Emery. Hovlng, Albright and Glover were not on the field but Albright will probably be out again It Is reported that Samson and Sinclair will not be In condition to play for several weeks. ' All of the members of the squad who are expected to start the game with Nor- wich on Saturday are In fine condition. The coaches are not so confident of trimming that tesm aa they were the first of the week. Norwich has shown up strong this fall, but It will be Im- possible for Brown to use Its first string men as they will not be In condition for a game. SCRIMMAGE AT WESLEYAN. Conohes Prepare, Team for Game With Union. Middletown, Conn., Oct. 21. The Wesleyan team waa given a hard scrim- mage this afternoon In preparation for the Union gains on Saturday. Dr. Edgar Fauves, the head coach, handled the backfleld men, whUe Coach Llston gave his attention to the linemen. Both coaches seem to be undecided as to the best layout for the backfleld. J, Peck, who played right half In the New Tork University game. Is being tried at quar- ter, and Abbott !n getting a tryout at right half. Captain Herman Is being kept steadily at left half. K. V.

McQ raw's Alleged Offer for Braves' Shortstop Causes Concern in Boston. iir FitnnEiiicic c. i.ir.n, Boston Is prolty much perturbed over the report that John McUraw, manager of the. Giants, had made the Braves an offer for Rabbit Maranvllle, tho great little shortstop of the Boston team. As one Ilostonlnn put It, \If tho Braves let goof Maranvllle, they might as well take clown their shlnglo.\ Officials of the Now Tork c(ub will not admit' that any offer had been made to the Braves for Maranvllle, but It would not bo surprising. Several days ago the writer predicted that when Mc- Graw swung a trade it would be \one similar to that of 1008, by which half of tho present Giant infield likely will leave the team, McGraw never objected to glvlns: quantity for a player ha wanted. In 1908 ho gave up McCann, Dahlen. Browne, Bowerman and Ferguson for Brldwell, Tcnney and Needham. When he wnnted Pitcher Art Fromme In 1913, he gave up Red Ames, Josh Devore and Heinlo Groh. Groh then was a kid but already had displayed great promise. In 1916 to get Herzog back a third time McGraw gave up Mathewson, Rou,h, McKechnle and J25.000. It was through these deals that the Reds pro- cured the greatest stars of thejr present world's championship aggregation Groh and Roush, Both were utility men when McGraw disposed of them. Unquestionably thero would be a ter-rlb- uproar If Boston let the Rabbit go for some veterans of the Fletcher-Zimmerm- vintage. Boston might even take tho transfer of the Brave franchise to Toronto with a sense of complacence. Iloatou Club Needs Money. Were It not for the Nehf deal of late last season. It Is likely that the Maran-vlll- o talk would not be taken seriously either In New Tork or Boston. But It the Boston club gave up Its best pitcher becauso In the language of George Stalllngs, \tho price was so attractive the club couldn't afford to turn It down,\ a then why Is It not Just as feasible for the Braves to sell their star shortstop because of a similar reason? There Is no question but that Rabbit Maranvllle would look mighty sweet In the Giant Infield. He Is a player with a personality, who would go strong In Gotham. If McGraw can put over the Maranvllle deal, It will be a great feather tn his cap, but It will start a lot of commotion In the National League. There were a lot of reports Around last winter that Charles Stoneham of the Giants financed the deal by which George Washington Grant became the owner of the Bravos. It was denied, of course, but It was true that Grant had desk space in Rtoneham's olllce before he took over the Boston club. The deal by which the Giants got Artie Nehf last winter lent color to tho stories that Moneham had a friendly Interest In Grant's venture. If the Giants want tq braco up their Infield they will have to do It during the winter. Several National League club owners already are framing legislation which will bo put through at the annual meeting next December which will pre- vent any deals between National League clubs after July 1. The measure Is backed by Herrmann, Dreyfuss, Rickey. Baker and Bbbets, and enough votes are Insured tq put It over. It will prevent such deals by which the Giants procured Douglas and Nehf late last season. The American League also Is conslde Ing the adoption of similar legislation nnd, taking It all In all. It will be a K\\d thing. Still Mrlllnn- - the lleil Sox. Now that tho report that Congressman Jim Galllvan would buy the Red Sox fot over a million dollars Is spiked, .a new report came out of Boston yeBterda, that Joe Lannln, owner of the club ! 19H, 191C and 1910, is ready to buy bach the franchise. This rumor has it that Frazeo still i paylng Lannln for the franchise, and that Lannln has not been paid anything this year, despite the fact that the Sox had one of their bent financial years. It Is further said that If Kra7.ee does not come acrosa with this year's paymeni Lannln will take back the club. This rumor doesn't ring very true, at It generally was supposed that Laniln was entirely out of the Boston club Lannln was out of town yesterday, and Frazeo couldn't be reached. But it Just adds another chapter to thnt old Boston Berlal. entitled \Selling the Red Sox.\ PROF. ABBOTT. CREW COACH, QUITS YALE Elis Will Have to Return to Professional System. Special DetpatcK to Tub Sua. New Haven, Conn., Oct. 23 Pro- fessor Mather Abbott, Profes&or of Latin In Yale University nnd famous as the amateur coach who beat Harvard's professionally coached crew last spring, resigned y to tako up a position as head master of Lawrenccville School Professor Abbott was a great favorite with the undergraduates nnd especially with those with whom he came In con- tact either In class room or In crew work. Ills successor has not been named as yet but It looks as if Yale would havo to turn to a professional conch again as there are few amateurs available who could produce the de sired results. During tho war Prof. Abbott created the Yale naval training unit. Ho sup- erintended the whole work and It was through him that Admiral Chester came to Yale as ofMcIal head of that bod Professor Abbott leaves hore in the middle of November. He was an Ox- ford crew man and coached at Gioton echool for fourteen years before coming to Yale In 1911. WILLIAMS' VARSITY BEATEN. HeRiilnra Lose to Culm In l,on ScrliiiinnKr.
