PEDDIE FIVE AFTER
SCHOLASTIC TITLE
Institute Quintet Has Won All
Five Games Played to
Date.
SIX GAMES STILL TO PLAY
Peddie Institute basketball repre
sentatives bid fair to become the
schoolboy champions of the State.
The team has played five games to
date, and won all of them. Law
renceville was defeated early in the
season by a score of 31 to 14, this
being the only defeat sustained this
season by Lawrenceville on its home
court. Pennington, another of the
down-State “prep” schools, has been
beaten twice. At Pennington, the
Rightstowners registered a 60-to-28
win, while Peddie won by a score of
75 to 6 at home. The other victories
were over Swarthmore freshmen, 42
to 15, and the Crescents of Trenton,
36 to 25.
An effort was made early in the sea
son by St. Benedicts to arrange a
game in order to settle the claims of
both to the State basketball title, but
Peddie advised Thomas Tully, the
Benedict manager, that the Hights
town schedule had been completed.
Prep school basketball is played un
der interschollegiate rules and it is
doubtful if any of the local high
schools could cope with Peddle at this
style of play.
Peddie still has six games to play,
one of which is a return match with
Lawrenceville. The schedule to be
played follows:
February 14. Wesley at Hightstown;
2t. Trenton High School at Trenton;
jg, LAwrenceville at Hightstown;
March 7, Trenton High School at
Hightstown; 14, Williamson at Will
iamson; 21, Old North Philadelphia at
Hightstown. _ |

KIEBLER EXPECTS
TO DEFEAT KELLY
Maid Go at Troxler’s Institute
Promises to Be Lively
Affair.
NINE BOUTS MAKE UP CARD
Fred Kiebler, the Irvington boxer,
is confident that he will defeat Smil
ing Kelly, of Bayonne, in the main
four-round bout at the Central Insti
tute tonight. Kiebler hag trained
hard for the affray and expects to
enter the ring in good shape. Kelly
is prominent in local boxing circles,
having been seen in action here on
several occasions. He can deliver a
stiff punch and can receive one with
equally the same ease. He ought to
furnish a lively time for Kiebler.
Eight other bouts will precede the
wind-up as follows: Billy Kelly and
Fred Kiebler.
Harry Higgins, Sailor Howard and
Young Hague, Young Garrett and
Kid Henry, Sharkey Williams and
Joe Cash, Battling Palletto and
Dutch Werner, Joe Dawson and
Young Partllo, Young Volter and
Young Krause and Yonng Lahey and
Young Tommy.
Jack Coyne to Meet Battling Terry.
Jack Coyne, of Orange, who is mak
ing a success as a boxer In the Middle
West, has been matched to meet Bat
tling Terry, of New Brighton, Pa., on
Monday night, February 16, before
Jimmy Dime's New Castle, Pa., club.
The bout is scheduled for ten rounds
Terry stopped Tommy Kilbane at!
Steubenville, O., last week, and is ex- i
pected to be a good match for Coyne, i
Terry returned recently from the
West, where he fought some of the
best b'oys there. Another match in J
which Coyne will be one of the prin
cipals is also Deing arranged for the
Bellaire. O., Club. The management
is endeavoring to secure either Tom- j
my Lowe, of Washington, or Willie ,
Moore, of Philadelphia, as the op- j
ponent of the Orange man.
Rltchle-IVolgast Bant on Again.
Once more the Ritchie-Wolgast
ten-round bout in Milwaukee is on as
the result of resumption of nego
tiations and compromise on both
sides. Tom Andrews has signified his
willingness to stage the match and
has wired Ritchie that articles of j
agreement have been mailed to San
Francisco. No date has been set, and
Ritchie has requested the promoter
to hold the question o£ date open for
ten days. Meanwhile Ritchie will get
down to training, and expects by tenj
days to know where he stands.
Injured Thumb Shows Fp Kilbane.
Johnny Kilbane, featherweight
champion of the world, who outpoint- j
ed Charley Thomas in Philadelphia
Saturday night, but who was by no
means at his best, explained the fact
by showing a badly-swollen thumb
on bis left. hand. Kilbane hurt his
ihumb while training last week, but
decided to take a chance and went
into the ring hardly able to close his
left hand. That was the reason for
his moderate showing. *
Sbngrue May Meet Ritchie.
McMahon brothers, New York pro-!
moters, have asked whether Ritchie
would consider a bout with Young
Shuerue. of Jersey City. Ritchie
would like to accept. He figures he
could meet Wolgast the middle of
March, go to New York for Young
Shugrue the latter part of the same
month and feturn to San Francisco;
in good trim for Tommy Murphy in j
April.
Fit ns iniiiion* Make* Hay.
Bob Fitzsimmons anrl his son. Bob, ;
jr., arrived in Philadelphia yesterday
afternoon to fulfil hiR week's engage- ,
ment at a local theatre, where tney
are to appear during the week in box
ing contests.
Lewi* Wins by a Shade.
Reports on the bout between Banty
Lewis, of this city, and Young Drum
mie, of Jersey City, favor the local
lad by a shade. Lewis’s strong finish,
it was said, earned him the verdict.
Schoolboy Forges Signature;
Manuel H. S. Returns Trophy
A splendid piece of sportsmanship
was recently enacted by Manual
Training High School, of Brooklyn.
The faculty of the school discovered
that its representative, Feuerstein,
i who placed first in the Poly Prep
i games, had forged a signature on a
i scholarship blank. Therefore the
; Manualites returned the point trophy
and the medal to the Poly Prep
games management, who in turn for
warded it to Central High School, the
athletes of which were but one point
, behind Manual in the totals scored
| by the schools, at the Brooklyn meet.

Alfred Goullet, who, with Alfred
Grenda and Jackie Clark, arrived
from Paris, after a stormy passage,
paid a visit to the Evening Star office
this morning. Goullet looked well
and said that, outside of a slight cold,
he felt "O. K." He had much to say
about the Paris six-day race, and de
clared he would have won at the fin
ish sure. If he had been In the same
form as he yyis at the finish of the
New York six-day race. He admitted
^e was In a combination with three
other teams and said that the boys
who went over from this country
wouldn’t have a chance If they didn’t
team up for protection, as It was.
even with a combination of four
strong teams, the Frenchmen, who
were five teams strong, proved too
much for them. Goullet declared that
teaming Is tolerated In France, and
that the visitors only did what the
natives did—but not so well. Goullet
also added that If teaming was not
stopped In the Paris six-day race, It
would eventually kill the race over
there. He said that the race was a
big financial success and that It
drew J2.000 more this year than It did
last year. He declared that if the
weather had been at all favorable the
race would have taken In 286,000,
which Is about 16,000 more than was
ever taken In during the New York
grind.
"It was so cold during the race In
Paris,” Goullet said, "that we would
almost freeze on our wheels. Of
course, It was as fair for one as for
the other, but the French boys seem
ed to stand it better than we could.
During the week Hourller and Comes
were allowed to do Just about as
they pleased. If one was a half-lap
off, the other simply rode Into the
leading bunch and nothing was said.
We complained, but It didn't do any
good. Another thing, the Frenchmen
had a "train" a mile long and first
one and then the other would start
a "Jam.” Of course, the French
men wouldn't go after their own
bunch and we were forced to close
up all the gaps. That's why we
formed a combination. In our "party”
were Grenda and myself, Petlt
Breton and Poulaln, Rutt and Lor
enz and Fogler and Moran. Pretty
strong combination, wasn't It? Well,
as the saying goes, you ought to see
that other combination. Besides five
good, strong teams, a number of the
little fellows were in with them and
every time I recall that I flnished
second, I say to myself, ‘Oh, what a
lucky guy you are, Alfred!' And
so I am. But next year, MacFar
land tells me, teaming will not be
allowed. ‘Mac’ had a long talk with
the promoters and they have assured
him that the Frenchmen will have
to ride of their own In the next
race. In which event, I might add,
I will be a starter along with
Grenda, and I think we will win the
race and I hope Hourller is in it."
Goullet said that he and Fogler
were on good terms over in Paris and
in fact were better friends than ever.
He said he would ride in Paris with
Grenda, but he declared that he might
ride as a teammate with Fogler In
New York next year.
Bill Bailey has signed a contract
to ride as a professional under the
management of Breyer and Coquelle.
He will make his debut as a pro on
March 22, which is the opening of the
Buffalo Velodrome In Paris. He has
been engaged to race there during
March, April and May. There is a
keen desire to see Bailey and Kramer
race, but the chance Is very slim,
for a rival French promoter has the
call on Kramer’s service*. Whether
Bailey will race a* a pro next season
at the Newark Velodrome all de
pends on how well he shapes up In
his engagement in Paris. If he Is a
winner, MacFarland, Goullet says,
will bring Bill over here. If Bailey
isn’t the class, though, he will not
be signed.
When Bailey turned pro he left a
champion in his wake. His name is
Vic Johnson and he was the fellow
who always gave Bailey such a great
argument for ’ the English title. Bill
managed to beat Vic more times than
Vic could beat Bill, so Bailey in that
way earned the lion's share of the
prestige. With Bailey out of the way
Johnson is a sure championship win
ner. He is the best amateur Hn Eng
land and MacFarland says he may
bring him over here to race against
Donald McDougall and the other
American simon-pures.
—O
Jim Savage is going to fight again,
and if he isn't returned an easy win
ner it won’t be because he is stacking
up against a very hard proposition.
Savage's opponent Is to be Tony
Ross, and the affair is slated for Bill
Brown’s Gymnasium, New York, to
morrow night- Ross, let it be known,
is about a fifth-rater, and in his last
fight, which was with Battling Levin
sky, at Philadelphia, about two weeks
G' OOD beer has been a delight to
[ mankind for more than 2,000
years. We are glad we make it.
FEIGENSPAN
POM
ago. he was so fat and slow that the
Quaker city papers roasted the bout
to a turn. As Levlnsky Is a Philadel
phia boy he was given full and de
served praise for his efforts, but Ross
made a miserable showing. Now
Savage la to get Ross. Jim. so It is
said, has trained hard for this bout,
and therefore should be In fine shape.
He should easily defeat "Fat Tony"
Ross.
On Thursday night at Madison
Square Garden the big show of the
week, as far as Newark Interest in
such matters Is concerned, will be held.
On that occasion Charley Welnert,
the West Orange boy, will meet Tom
Gibbons, brother of the famous Mike.
Tom is suspposed to be a pretty nifty
fellow, but he will likely find his
muster in Welnert. Percy Woodruff
has acted wisely In handling the
youngster, and In picking out Gib
bons for Weinert's debut In the Gar
den he couldn't have done much bet
ter. Wcinert, It Is long odds, will
best Gibbons. He may not whip him
to a standstill or knock him out, but
be Is Just about as sure as anything
to outpoint him. If he puts up the
kind of battle the New York fans
like, Welnert will be a made man. He
has the goods, I know, and It Is up
to him to deliver them. It would be
a big thing for Jersey If this young
man should prove to be the real
article, and, from what I have seen of
him, he has a royal chance to get to
the top of the heap. He Is -clever,
and his habits are good, but he is still
a kid. As his victims pile up he will
become used to success, and he will
eventually develop good, sound Judg
ment.
Willie Ritchie Is In great demand.
He is wanted everywhere. He is
matched to fight Tommy Murphy In
'Frisco in April, but before that bout
Tom Andrews wants the champion
to meet Ad Wolgast In Milwaukee,
and the McMahon brothers are anx
ious to get him to box Joe Shugrue
in New York. Meanwhile, Ritchie Is
not In condition to go Into the ring.
Although champion for only a short
time, he has had considerable hard
luck. He la being severely roasted
from not fighting more, but he seems
to use pretty good Judgment In the
matter. Those who are crying for
Willie to come out and fight would
not likely contribute to his support
If he were to lose his title and his
money-making powers. It's the old
story of one fellow knowing the other
fellow's business best. In this case
Ritchie laughs Joyously at his critics,
and then demands a few thousand
dollars more from the promoters for
balm for his injured feelings and also
thanks those who are using the
“sledge" for their kindness. When
Ritchie fights he will be In shape and
he will win.
The committee in charge of the
smoker to be held at the Elks’ home
Wednesday night promises to provide
an exceptionally Interesting program
for the edification of the members.
Howard Williams tells me that the
show la going to be the biggest ever.
Dan Morgan has promised to bring
over his stable of fighters and Jimmy
McVeigh, the popular East Side boxer,
has also promised to be on hand. Be
sides boxing and wrestling there will
be a number of vaudeville acts. The
bowlers of Elks' Lodge are especial
ly Interested In the success of the
affair and they are working hard to
make It a banner smoker.
Frank Lagay, of this city, showed
considerable class as a runner by
finishing second to V. M. Wilkie, of
Yale, in the 600-yard handicap race
at the Boston A. A.’s annual games
Saturday night. In the same race
was Willie Kelly, another local boy;
but Kelly did not qualify In his heat
Other Jersey boys to get In the prize
awards were Ben Adams, Eddie
Pritchard, Wallace Maxfleld, Mike
Devaney and Randolph Granger, who
was on the successful Dartmouth re
lay team. The games, as they are
every year, were a huge success, with
Abel Kivlat winning the "Hunter
mile," the feature event of the meet.
College football will be about the
same as it was last year. The rules
committee made few changes and
none of them Important. The big
scheme was to number the players
for Identification purposes, but that
didn’t go through. One year more,
it is said, and the numbering
of players will be tried. The open
game will still prevail and there
is little hope of ever going back to the
old scrimmage game, which, while
strenuous, was surely more exciting
and enjoyable than the game in vogue
at the present time.
Princeton la getting wise to herself
very early this year. She Is going to
have-one man boss the Job and she is
also going to pay more attention to
the forward pass. If she sticks to
those two things—the boss and the
forward pass—she win cut a big
figure in the championship next sea
son. The boss will whip things Into
shape and the forward pass will re
sult in victories.
—Q—
Young Grad well's friends are still
harping over the defeat administered
to him by Jimmy McVeigh. Here is
a letter In Grad well's behalf that
sounds as if it were written by
Gradwell’n brother:
J. P. N.:
We wish to say a few words In
regards to you giving Jimmy Mc
| Velgh the decision over Young Orad
well. Why don’t you be an honest
sportsman and give a fellow credit
when he earns It? Just for the simple
reason that yourself and Dan Mor
gan, Young Gradwell’s manager, are
at odds, you never give his men what
is due to them We attended the fight
Tuesday night and Grad well surely
gave McVeigh a bad beating. Even
McVeigh himself admits that Grad
well beat him. McVeigh was cut and
bruised up after the fight and Grad
well did not show a scratch. It Was
spite work on your part. We attend
the fights and buy your papers and
we want you tu give a fellow credit
for what he earns and not rob him
out of it. You know as well as
others that Gradwell earned the de
cision. We note Where you published
some time ago that Young Gradwell
was a boxer in England. You were
just as much wrong when you pub
lished that as you were when you
gave McVeigh the decision. Young
Gradwell came to this country when
he was seven years of age and
worked himself up right In Newark.
He is a gentlemanly young fellow In
every way. leads a good clean life
and has the respect of all his ac
quaintances.
From a few of Gradwell's followers.
T. SHAW.
Sorry, Theodore, but your man was
beaten by McVeigh and that's what
nearly everybody says who was there.
I haven't a thing In the world against
Dan Morgan or his men. Dan
"welched” on a bet, but they tell
me he Is sorry he did. Never said
Gradwell boxed In England. You
must he on the wrong track. As
you say, Gradwell Is a good, clean
living fellow, but he had some marks
on him after the McVeigh fight, for I
saw them. Now, I didn't witness the
McVeigh-Gradwell fight, hut all the
good judges who were there, and
some of them close friends of Grad
well, tell me that McVeigh earned the
decision fair and square. Be a sport,
and when you're whipped admit It,
Mr. Shaw.
Poor "Little Jeff” Is tn trouble
again. Ho picked on Brother Sim
mons, and now Brother Slmmuns
comes back strong at “Little Jeff.”
Mr. Simmons says:
J. P. N.:
The article of “Little Jeff’s" In the
Saturday Evening Star saying he en
joyed a big laugh over reading
Brother Simmons’s letter (of Rescue
Home) on the Gradwell-McVeigh
tight Is certainly a big Joke and not
worth the space your paper gave to
it. He tlnishes his letter with "yours
for good sportsmanship,” then signs
"Little Jeff." Surely a fictitious
name to a letter Isn’t good sports
manship. He Is quite sarcastic and
tries to be personal, which he un
doubtedly Is not. Ho talks too much
about Brother Simmons and two
tramps fighting for a bed at his fath
er’s camp (Rescue Home). He Is so
well posted on this subject that it
would lead one to believe he had en
gaged in Just such an encounter with
some other down-and-outer for a bed
at above place. But why talk about
that. The Rescue Home doesn't con
cern me in the least. Certainly not
as much as it does him. The discus
sion was about the Gradwell-McVeigh
bout, and he has hit on the wrong
topic. His letter does not show good
sense.
Trusting Gradwell and McVeigh
will meet again In the near future, I
beg to remain, respectfully yours,
C. F. SIMMONS.
Outside of losing his “goat,”NBrother
Slmmone Is 6n the wrong side of
the argument. "Little Jeff" may
have been severe, but he means well.
—O—
Voung Pavese will fight Bob Will
iams. Sure Mike. Jack Boyon, his
manager, says so in the following
few well-chosen words:
J. P. N.:
Just a few lines In answer to Will
Brown, manager of Bob Williams, the
Albany sdrapper. I thank him very
much for the credit which he gives
young Pavese for having knocked out
his man, all of which Pavese de
serves. Pavese accepts the challenge
and Is willing to meet Williams at
any club offering the best induce
ments. I would like to say In favor
of my man that Pavese Is clever and
i hard worker, always giving plenty
of speed and action for the benefit of
the fans. Although Pavese is young
at the game he has met some of the
best men in his class, has never been
beaten and is confident that the bout
with Williams, if made, will be an
other to his credit.
Please address letters to
TACK BOYON. 199 Rose street, city.
Manager Young Pavese.
Worry as to whether the Federal
League Is to strike our town is at
hand. Tho following letter deals with
the subject:
J. P. N.:
It Is a bit premature, of course,
but doesn't It follow that Newark
could not support two ball teams?
Or, In the event of our entering
major league circles, wauld the In
ternational franchise be transferred?
As big as Newark 1b as a baseball
town, it doesn’t seem to turn out as
consistent a crowd as would warrant
two rival teams. At least, I think
so. Please advise if I am wrong.
The attendance at the Saturday and
Sunday games last summer was not
what It should be. Situated as near
to the seashore as It Is, Newark peo
ple preferred to hop Over to the shore
to cool off during the hot spell. The
situation of the grounds doesn’t help
matters, any, either. At any rate, if
we are to get big league ball In the
future, let us hope we get attrac
tions to bring out all the fans all
the time, such as a park In a con
venient place and players like Harry
Smith, Zimmerman, Dalton, etc., to
fill it. Don’t expect much, do I?
If your oolumns are a go-by, it
really seems as if cycling creates a
sharper local Interest than baseball,
Judging from the correspondence of
cycling enthusiasts. This probably Is
due to the fact that rivalry is more
pronounced at the track than gen
erally on tho diamond. At the Velo
drome different people favor various
riders, while at Wiedcnmayer's Park
we all root for the Tigers against dis
tant rivals. But I must admit that
cycling is some attraction and don’t
see how those Kramer and Rutt
matches can be resisted. It Is prob
ably due to such famous races that
the Velodrome packed away a record
crowd when Bailey met McDongall
last fall, while at the other end of
the trolley line our Tigers played
Washington s splendid game before
a rather small crowd.
But wait until next season. Many
fans probably will board the first
South Orange avenue car that hap
pens along and go either west to the
•‘Drome’"' or east to the ball park.
Yours for sports,
JAY ARB.
It Isn’t likely that Newark would
support two ball teams, and It would
be the survival of the fittest. The
'‘outlaws’’ aren't In town yet, and they
may never come. The only chance of
the Feds making good would be the'
fact that Newark would be placed in
the position of being a big league
city.
One of our moat interesting con
tributors Is becoming ambitious and
seeks a position at newspaper work.
Success! However, said contributor
Is still on the Job, as the following
letter will show:
J. F. N.:
We feel like thanking you for your
kind words of comment on our lust
letter. But what do you mean a
“firm of girls” from City Hall? We are
a strong, honest, true firm of young
men, enthusiastic for the Evening
Star and for “Sport Topics.” The
head of our firm, the original writer
of the correspondences under "S. O.
& Co.,” our friend “S. O.” swears the
only time he was in City Hall was
the day he was going to be
married to a sweet little girl
from Elizabeth and then at the
last moment he was deserted by
the bride-to-be. So, no civil ser
vice money for us. We live of dreams
and studies and our “Pa” is the only
one working in the firm. You know
the song “Everybody Is Working but
Father.” That’s us! Anyhow, if a
chance was offered us to do a little
w'ork in some newspaper office we
assure you we could do some hard
work! But w'here is our opportunity?
We had an invitation to apply for a
position in the local anti-cycling or
gan, but we refused* and you can
imagine why. If anybody wishes to
know our qualifications and would
like to suggest wrork, “S. O. & Co.”
will be on the job for any newspaper
outside of the anti-cycling organ. Our
qualifications Well, let’s see! Col
lege graduate, twenty-four-years old,
single, a knowledge of several ancient
and modern languages, anti-faking
writers, and enthusiastically inclined
toward newspaper work.
For the benefit of the bike fans, here
is how we would like the opening at
the Velodrome to be this year, in two
suggestions:
FIRST SUGGESTION.
Match race, Kramer and Spears.
Match race, Kaiser and McDougal.
One-mile handicap race, scratch
men. Rutt, Kramer, Verrl, Clark and
Goullet.
Five-mile open professional; one
mile handicap, amateurs; three-mile
open, amateurs; miss and out pro
fessional.
SECOND SUGGESTION.
Match race, Kramer and Spears.
Handicap race at one mile, scratch

"Hurdler” will find the answer to
his 'query of Monday In the follow
ing letters, If the runner named below
is the1 one who wore the running
pants many sizes too large for him
and had a number penciled on his
shirt:
J. P. N.:
At the Central High School games
last week there appeared on the floor
of the armory a runner. He came out
as the special “880” was about to
start and warmed up by doing a few
laps, but did not start In the race.
This runner was Solomon Crowley,
the famous Rock Hill College boy,
and he came all the way from Mary
land to race. Why was he not al
lowed to start? He Is a regular run
ner, and claims he can even heat
Mr. Haussling at running for mayor.
X. Y. Z.
Solomon must have been disap
pointed after coming all the way
from Maryland. Perhaps he had
trouble assuring the clerk of the
course as to whether or not he was
in condition for such a race. In re
gard to beating the mayor, if such
Is the case, maybe he can get a lob
with the Republican party.

LOCAL BOXERS IN
FINALS AT TURNERS
Twenty-three Remain to Fight
It Out in Closing
Bouts.
GAFFNEY’S CHANCES LIKED
The seml-flnal and final bouts of the
amateur boxing tournament of the
Natlonaf Turn Vereln will be held at
the club-house of the Turners on
Bruce street this evening. In all
twenty-five bouts are necessary to de
cide the winners and second men In
each of the five classes that are being
contested.
Twenty-three local men are still In
the running and are certain of win
ning the majority of the prizes that
are offered. The 110-pound class title
Is sure to go to a local boxer. George
Gaffney, of the Puritan A. C., is the
favorite, although the Turners are
backing Phil. Krug for the honors In
this class.
James Hogan, Paterson’s clever
representative, has a fine chance to
win In the 120 class, but Joseph Bums,
of the Puritan A. C., will have to be
reckoned with, as he won the last
tournament of the Turners rather
easily.
The final bout In the 130-pound class
will probably bring together Henry P.
Conrad, unattached, New York, and
William F. Husenltza, of the National
Turn Vereln. These boys fought it
out at the last tournament of the
Turners, at that time Conrad being
returned the winner.
Two local men are still In the 140
pound class and they will have to
meet two New Yorkers.
The 150-pound class will be a hum
mer, as the men remaining are very
evenly matched. Augie Rattner, ol
the Young Men's Hebrew Association,
of New York, has the greater experi
ence and Is the most consistent winner
of the class.
Peter Pan VI. to Meet
Ankle Deep in Two Races
Count Casimir Mankowskl recently
announced that he would be willing
to make a match race with his motor
boat, Ankle Deep, against any of the
so-called fifty-mile boats. The count
was at the motor-boat show Satur
day and there met James Simpson,
of the Peter Pan family of fliers.
Simpson told Mankowskl that he had
built a Peter Pan VI., which he
was willing to race against the Ankle
Deep. So a match was made to race
Ankle Deep and Peter Pan VI. over a
thirty-mile course for a suitable
trophy.
One race Is to take place on the
Hudson river, above Ossining, while
the other will be held at Huntington.
Peter Pan VI. Is a one step hydro
plane equipped with a Van Blerck
motor. She was built without blare
of trumpets by the Reliance Com
pany and tried out last November
Then she was laid up.

New Advisory Committee to Be
in Charge of Football
Eleven.
ACTUAL WORK STARTS SOON
Sweeping changes are to be made In
Princeton’s football policy under the
now football advisory committee,
headed by Snake Ames. One coach
will be utilised and he will work di
rectly under the committee’s direc
tion. An open style of play will be
Inaugurated to the exclusion of all
else and the forward pass will bs
worked to the limit of its possibili
ties. Secret practise will be elimin
ated except possibly for a day or two
before big games. Real football work
will start In a few weeks, not the
usual perfunctory spring drills In fun
damentals, but actual scrimmages.
Players In all games will wear num
bers, a move advocated by all who
saw the experiment tried last fall.
All the above drastic departures
were vouched for yesterday by a mail
close to the powers that be. Each
item noted was stated without equiv
ocation. and great things are expect
ed from those directly In charge.
The same authority stated that t>
son of Bnake Ames, Mike Boland,
who developed great possibilities as
a quarterback during practise last
fall, and Kirby, a fine kicker from a
Western oollege, are strong candi
dates for the backfleld. All these
played on a team known as Herring's
Illegitimates last fall, while Ineligible
for the varsity and the rudiments of
what Is expected to give Princeton a
great football eleven were taught
them and will be followed out In this
season’s coaching.
Flartty la Big Help to Seton Hall.

Brooke to Leave Hospital.

the Penn football team, who was op
erated upon for appendicitis nearly
two weeks ago, expects to leave the
University Hospital today.
Columbia Leads Intercollegiate League.
Although the race for the Intercol
legiate Basketball championship Is
almost half finished and Columbia Is
leading with a clean slate of four vic
tories and no defeats, It Is by no
means certain that the Blue and
White will be on top at the end.
Cornell came with a rush against Tale
on Saturday and literally swept the
Blue oft its feet In a loose guarding
game, winning by a score of 40 to 26.
As all the teams will be in action
again this week next, Saturday night,
when Tale faces Dartmouth, should
see some vital changes In the league
standing. Cornell and Princeton will
fight each other to a finish at Ithaca.
Another game on which much will de
pend Is the Columbia-Pennsylvanla
encounter at New Torlt on Thursday
night.

West Hudsons Too Fast
for Philadelphia Hibernians'
That ‘the West Hudsons would
probably be contenders for ths
American cup today, had they been
represented by their full lineup in the
game against the Bethlehem F. C..
In Philadelphia, two weeks ago, was
evidenced yesterday afternoon, at
Harrison Oval, Harrison, when they
administered a decisive defeat, 3
goals to 1, to the Philadelphia
Hibernians, one of the semi-final
elevens In the American soccer
classic. The Hudsons demonstrated
their ability as artists In fine fashion
and the Hibs would probably look tha
sarrte had the affair been a cup tls
battle. The game was only an exhi
bition affair. The Hudsons were In
the lead at the conclusion of the first
half, Telfer scoring a goal on a
pass from Carter. Telfer again
started the tally-making in the final
session after which McCormack, of
the visitors, gained a point. To make
vlctry certain, Mills scored a few
minutes before the end. The lineup:
