C, In the small hours, at the close of ‘the banquet given by Allentown grid- {ron enthusiasts to the Muhlenberg football team, the players got together knd elected George Bixler of Easton as <captain for next year, to succeed Sav- acool, who will graduate in June. Bixler has been playing right end and his fleet legs and his punting ability were responsible for more than one victory this year.- The feature of the banquet was the address of Professor Reese, the fac- ulty member of the Athletic associa- tion, who presented the letter and sweaters. Professor Reese declared that football is the oldest game, and the one with the widest vogue through gll the world’s history. He quoted Scripture to show that the game was played at least as early as 750 B. C., ‘during Homer’s time, and among the Spartans in Greece; then later in Rome, and finally being introduced in America in 1608. The Eskimos and the South Sea islanders play the game. In 1315 Edward II. of England issued a decree abolishing the game, as did also later sovereigns of England. Dur- ‘ing the reign of Augustus in Rome he ordered the rules of the game re- vised because the game at the time was considered too mild. ‘“Shake- speare, Chaucer, Addison, Izaak Wal- ton, Cooper and others all advocated football,” continued Professor Reese, “showing that thinking men of their time thought well of the game, the same as thinking men of today think and speak well of it. The so-called new game or new method of playing the game is nothing but an evolution of the old, and is not new at all. -Its long-continued uninterrupted history shows that it is-a game of great vital- 1ty, making of its players fine physical specimens and inoculating in them not only true sportsmanship, but man- liness as well.” There is rejoicing in Allentown over news from Easton that Lafayette has put Muhlenberg on its football schedule for next year. CAPTAIN PENDLETON Pendleton Is About the Strongest Member of Princeton’s Great Back Field, and Is Always Counted On for Frequent Gains Against Its Op ponents, Marty Krug Iin Bad. Marty Krug, member of the new world’s champions, finds his dark past bobbing up to bother him. Dayton of the Central league claims he is still on its suspended list for jumping the team, but it is a little late with its complaint. Krug played under the name of Craig with Dayton and then went to the South Atlantic, taking the name of Krug. He was allowed to continue in the game by Dayton with. out protest. . English Sprinters Are Best, Charles E. Holway, who claims the American professional sprinting title, has returned from a tour of the world, during which he took part in many exciting races. While in Australia and England he met Reggle Walker, A. B. Postle and Jack Donaldson, and Holway says Walker and Donaldson are the fastest sprinters in the world and could defeat either Ralph Craig or Howard Drew over the short dis- tances. Chance May Manage ‘Brooklyn. There is a strong rumor going the rounds in Brooklyn which seems im- possible to down for the count that Frank Chance of the Chicago Cubs will manage the Dodgers next season. It is said that President Ebbets seri- ously. is considering the matter and that before he gives his annual ‘ban- quet to the newspaper baseball . re- porters he will have secured the “Peerless Leader's” signature to a con- tract. ———— e, SNODGRASS HOLDS HIS WIIl Not Be Fired for Muffing Fly In' Recent World's Series—Error Ex- cusable, 8ays McGraw. Persistent reports that the New York Giants would dispense with the services of Fred Snodgrass as a re- sult of his costly error in the last world series game are set at rest in a statement given out by John J. Mc- Graw, manager. He says: “I do not blame Fred Snodgrass in the least for his failure to catch that fly ball in the last game of the world series at Boston. Snodgrass is a val- uable and conscientious player,sand be will be a member of the Giants Fred Snodgrass. next season. Ris failure to make the catch is something that would happen but once in a thousand cases, and I want to say that he is deserving of sympathy for this failure. It hurts him more keenly than it hurts anyone else. “In this connection I may say that 1 feel even worse for Mathewson than for Snodgrass, as Matty pitched three i excellent games without winning any of them. There never was and never will be another pitcher like Matty.” Chick Gandil, the Senators’ great first baseman, has had his tonsils re- moved. Germany Schaefer has received an offer of. a job managing an athietic park at Detroit. Pirate squad was the best in either | league this season. Eastern writers seem to think Evers is anxious to get rid of Tinker. Johnny doesn’t talk that way. Joe Kelly of the Toronto Interna- tional league team will take his team to Macon, Ga., to train next spring. When the football regulars are bumped hard the scrubs begin to move about as though they were being over- looked. Topsy Hartsel's admirers at Phila- delphia gave him a dinner when he re- turned home after a successful season at Toledo. Joy riding and attacks on the wine crop are to be dismissed on the Ath- letics’ team next season. So says Connie Mack. Jake Stahl, chaperon of the blush- ing world’s title holders, favors letting the players in on the picture money of post season series. Several clubs in the Pacific Coast league are after Frank Chance. They should be commended for wanting to improve themselves. Fans of New Orleans are going to have much boxing in a short time. Anofher new club is to be started. It will be known as the New Royal Athletic club. Zbyszko, the Polish wrestler, is after Frank Gotch again. His manager, Jack Hermann, say the Salt Lake Amusement company is ready to post $5,000 for a bout between the two beavies. . s Fame:is a great thing. ‘t'ris Speaker was selected to start an automobile race at Salem, N.

Mathewson,” Ames and Wiltse are the only members of the present Giants’ squad who took part in the world's series of 1906. The squad of candidates for the Michigan football team is said to be small, as compared to the other big schools this year. ‘Why, if the players are compelled to play off their tie game without being paid-for it, isn’t the public allowed to see it for no\‘.hl_ng? It the ball playres become jurymen, they'll find it even worse to kick on the judge’s decisions than to have a run-in with the umpires. As for Minnesota, unless Doc Wil- llams pulls something remarkable, we think the Gophers had better pull the holes in after them this year.
