Page Six DARTMOUTH CAMPUS WOULD WELCOME MICHIGAN GAME Showing Against Harvard Pleased Green, Says Pudrith, Star Tackle WOLVERINES, ALSO IN FAVOR OF CONTEST Hanoverians Battled Crimson on Even Terms in Last Decade They Played BY HAROLD y. WILCOI. Dartmouth college would uproari ously welcome a football ram* with Michigan next Call for several reasons, according to Chester pudrlth, of De troit. Perhaps Chester will be better known to sport page reader* am ••Chick" Pudrlth, star end and tackle on the Dartmouth eleven, which for the past few years has ranked one, two, three with the finest in the coun try. "Chick" i» spending the holiday vacation at the home of hie par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert F. Pudrlth. No. 62 Lcngfellow-ave. ▲ common bond of sympathy unites Michigan and Dartmouth. The Han overians are sore on Harvard. In fact, there is a feeling between the two eohoole that Is vary mildly expressed by the term, "mutual dislike." For years they met on the field of honor, with varying success, but two yean* ago Dartmouth was toppled from the Crimson schedule with even some thing more than the thud with which thdwolverines were dropped. A generation of bitter rivalry was svooeeded by a spirit at Hanover that rejoices when any thing Inopportune happens to the Cambrldgites. Michi gan went east last fall with the best wishes of Dartmouth, And when the Tastmen mauled that great Harvard football machine all over the gridiron at (Soldiers’ field and gave the Crim son a scare from which it Is still shiv ering, there was jubilation on the aampua at Hanover. Michigan found anew friend on the spot, and Har vard's action in discarding the Wol verines so that the Ilaughtonltes might be saved for Yale strengthened the Dartmouth end of the bond. That ■ttnation, says Pudrith. would alone make a game with Michigan very pop ular at Dartmouth. The Hanoverians, moreover, sre very anxious for a western game next year, and under any circumstances, Michigan would be a very desirable inter-sectional foe. When Dartmouth, however, started to angle for a western game, Michigan was supposed to be tied up with Har vard for next season, and Director of Athletics Jack Ingeraoll undertook ne gotiations with Chicago. At the time "Chick" left Hanover last week, those negotiations were still on, and the Green was not at liberty to dicker with Michigan. Since then Chicago has announced that it cannot play Dartmouth before 1916, and the re quest for a Michigan game wars forth with announced. Because the Michigan angle was not made public until after the students had gone home for the holidays, there hhs been no chance for further cam- 1 j.ua discussion. But in the light of previous expressions of desire for athletic relations with the Wolverines. : tnd the friendship which the Green feels for the Maize and Blue since tlie Harvard game. Pudrith is positive that the promised negotiations with which Michigan will be approved by the Dartmouth campus as one of the most popular athletic moves in years. As to Dartmouth, the majority of the Michigan students had left for their homes when the Dartmouth an gle to the schedule was announced, and campus sentiment has had no chance for expression. At Ann Arbor, however, Dartmouth Is considered one 1 of the representatire elevens of the east, and there is little donbt but that there vlll be general disappointment if Director of Athletics Bartelme dors not see his way clear to schedule ir»e "big Qreen team." A game would be more popular than a resumption of relations of Notre Dame, which has seemed likely since the discontinu ance of relations with Harvard. Dartmouth has no reason to be ashamed of Its record with Harvard, although the Crimson won two dosen of the 28 games played be tween the two schoola up to 1612. when relations were last broken off. The first game was played in 1882. when Harvard scored soup goals and 19 touchdowns. For a decade the Crimson continued to win by top heavy scores, but since that time the battling has been on fairly even terms. During the last 10 years of games Dartmouth won two, tied another pair, and lost the remainder 1n fairly close contests. The victories were In 1903 and 1906, with scores of 11 to 0 and the eminently satisfactory count of 22 to 0. The tie games were in 1904 and 1906. The first was score less and second 6 and 6. In 1911 Har vard won, 6 to 3, and the 1912 game, the last to be played, was a S to 0 victory for the Crimson.

Edward McHugh MINOR CIRCUIT IN INDIANA IS FED PROPOSAL Trolley League is Planned to C are for Surplus Players GILMORE TO TAKE LP PROJECT THIS WEEK Indianapolis Officials Favor Idea —Week-End Games to Be Played INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 24.- Although plans as yet have not reached beyond the tentative state, a movement has been started in Indianapolis that may result in the Federal league launch ing an Indiana trolley circuit in order to provide places for its surplus ball players during the coming season. The proposition as laid before certain officials of the Indianapolis club seems practical enough and has met with encouragement sufficient to eu list an audience with the league presi dent. James A. Gilmore. The Federal leader is expected to visit Indianapolis this week. It has been known for some time that the new league officials, in carry ing on their warfare against organized baseball, will face a big problem in taking care of the surplus talent. With the acquisition of several stars recently, as well as taking on numer ous promising recruits, it is apparent that the new league ranks will be overcrowded. 9ince organized base ball as yet has not seen fit to sanc tion the Idea of clubß in its minor circuits taking players that may be cast adrift by the Feds, it is appar ent that the new league magnates must take care of the proposition themselves. Asa first step in the direction of establishing anew minor league cir cuit, Federal officials, it is said, are lending a willing ear to the Indiana trolley idea. This includes the play ing of Saturday and Sunday ball In | such cities as Richmond, Anderson, Muncie, Kokomo, Logansport. yette. Marlon and Peru, all of which have been named in a prospective cir cuit. It has been demonstrated In each onq of the cities mentioned that baseball may be carried on profitably on a week end basis, and since all are directly connected by trolley and within easy each of Indianapolis, the plan may be declared to be a feasible one and shortly take definite form WEEGHMAM NOT TO TAKE WAITS CHECK Feds See Dark Conspiracy In Return of That Bonus Money .

THE DETROIT AIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1 $ 14, Rowland, New Manager of White Sox, Says Speed Is More I han One-Third of Baseball History of Pa»t Pennant Bates Does Not Prove Theory. > However ' I BY HUGH S.-FULUERTON. Clarence Row laud the tiew man ay r of the Chicago White Sox is coming into baseball with one big theory aud a whole lot of practice How the practice will pan out de pends largely upon now the White Sox. a notoriously hard Team -to man age in the past because of lack of team spirit, receive him But what interests the general baseball public is his theory Rowland is a firm believer in speed lie declares it La more than oue-third of baseball. He has stated in his early interview that a team that steals one in three bases it starts out to steal is a peunatit contender. Speed, of course, is an extremely desirable part of u ball club, yet speed alone doo.s not win The Rostou Red Sox were faster before they won u world's championship than they were the year they won it Detroit as a championship team did not have great speed, in spite of Cobb’s terrific fleetness. The Chicago Cubs, at their best, were only moderately fast, aud the Athletics never were the fleetest team in their league. laist season along came George Stallings with a team Just moderate speedy am! won by not running the bases; that is they stole fewer bases than almost any club in their league. Evers, one of the cleverest men on the bases and a man with sufficient speed and head to steal about 60 bases a year stole less than half that number. Boston was not playing the base-running game chiefly because their opponents thought they would. The part of Rowland's theory about a team stealing on© has© out of every thre© efforts |emains to be proved. The year Bill Tainge stole 100 bases In the National league he did it out of 242 starts. Yet he scored fewer runs for his team than he did in the season he stole 59 bases. The year Ty Cobb stole 71 bases he scored fewer runs than in three other sea sons when he was far below that mark' The reason is that if the other team knows a runner is going to steal he has a harder time doing it, and they make far fewer wild throws than when they are called upou to throw unexpectedly. Rowland Ib right about speed in general—not so much sheer fleetness of foot, but on every man running his best every time he starts any where, whether It is in going to first, stealing or on trying to take an extra base on a hit or an out. BILL M'CARTHY NOT IN J. LORE’S CLASS Fight Stopped in Sixth, After Welsh Boy Was Ready For j o the Count Billy McCarthy. Fred Gilmore's dual champion from Wales, was completely outclassed last night at W indoor by Johnny and.the fight was stop ped after the sixth round, when the gong had saved Billy from the sleep ing wallop for the second time.

Bennie McNeil featured his second appearance of the winter by "scoring a cleau knockout over Harry White in the first round. That one round, however, was the best single inning of clever, speedy and aggressive bat tling at Windsor this winter. White was pushing McNeil to the limit, until he was dropped by a right to the Jaw and a Jab to the body in the clinch that followed. The second preliminary wa3 a slug ging match between Young Nelson and Phil Stone, both of Detroit. The fight whs luteresting and honors were even. The first prelim was a scream.

TRIO OF MERCHANTS. ’ YANK DICKERERS STILL STALLING | Ruppcrt and Farrell Fail to Come To Terms and Deal Is Balked NEW YOYRK, Dec. 21—The :>ule of the New York American league team had not yet been consummated today. Col. Jacob Kupport aud Capt. T L. Huston, the prospective buyer?, say they will buy. Frank J. Farrell, one of tbe cluu s b present owners, says the sale is as good as made. J. McGraw, who has piloted Ruppert and Huston through thus far, asserts that it only remains to transfer file money. Capt. Huston is not optimistic about [the- deal. He frankly stated that he, did not care a rap whether il was put through. He qualified This statement, however, by saying that he aud Run pert would spend a large sum of money if they entered organized base ball. The delay in tiie transfer of ownership is attributed by Ruppert to natural busin»*«s causes and not io any serious disagreements. He said a dnal involving hrlf a million dollars could not be negotiated in an off handed manner. A secret meeting between Ruppert and Farrell was reported last night but as to it? place or reason nothing has been learned.

So Declares Dominion Star, Who Writes of Sport Across Border SAYS FORWARD-PASS NOT REAL FOOTBALL Brady Defends Multiple-Pass As Finest Feature of Autumn Sport BY JOHN P. BRADY Halfback Galt, Canada, Rugby Team 1905-06 Canadian rugby is not a foreign game. Jt is a combination of what is considered beat in American and English rugby, and the Canadians have evolved a game which is prob ably tile prettiest exhibition to be seen in any country giveu to autum nal sports. Unlike the American game, the rules have been mude so that the offense I* handicapped to a far greuter extent than Is the ease on till* side of the line, lly reason of this the defense is not driven to the rough tactics which have occasioned a great deal of crlti clsm of the American game and forced radical changes in the rules. In the United States it was believed that aiding the offense by handicap ping the defense would help open up the game, but It was not until the for ward pass was introduced that auy progress was made in this direction Now. the tor ward pass is not foot ball. Everybody agrees to this. The adoption of the best features of Can adian rugby will make the forward puss unnecessary. In the Canadian game there Is the ten yard distance to make. There is t<> forward pass. There is no inter ference. The linesmen are useless for charging after the ball is put in play. But they really get into the game then instead of being practical ly out of it. They must immediately help the | backs who are advancing the hall. A good lineman if in* be fast and equip ped with football brains reaches the area of actiou sooner than the backs who are not carrying the ball. He smashes through and if the runner goes through the hoi* he has made he is right on hand to take Ills part in the great play of the multiple pass. This multiple pass is the great fea ture of Canadian rugby. It wa* per fected in New Zealand a matter of in or 12 years ago and a team from that country went # to England and beat all of the best teams of that country This conquest of old world rugby showed the value of the fam ous pass and there seems to be no question that a college team hero coaid sweep this country as tlie New Zealanders defeated Great Britain, couhi it master the Intricacies of the multiple pass. The ingredients needed are a stout Imt speedy line and a baekfieM com posed of men who have been adept at soccer and basketball. This mean* they must be speedy and absolutely accurate with their hand* in the catching and passing of the ball. Also they must be good kickers with either foot. Now. the multiple pass Is only a menace to the opposing team 9i> long as the users of it have other method* of play in their repertory. The multi ple puss can be stopped by open play on the part of the opposing defense. But then the play is (hanged to a smash through the wide-open line. Or the back carrying the ball kicks in stead of passes. George Upp, former Michigan inde pendent player who was tried out by the Reds in 190 H, after being a great factor in winning tin* A.
