Commissioner Landis that insofar as he was concerned the joint meeting would be held as scheduled, but he was not prepared to say whether the American League club owners | would _ participate. + Baseball leaders pointed out that it would be impossible for the Ameri- can Leaguers to attend on the date set because of their Chicago meet- ing. Pres ing the meeting for Chicago said he could see no reason for a joint meeting of the major leaguers in New York as no subjects of import- ance were facing the club owners of the two leagues. x “I can say this much,” Commis- sioner Landis said today. “I issued a call two weeks ago for the joint meeting. President Johnson ” an- nounced the meeting of the Ameri. “ean League for Chicago only weck. Insofar as I am concerned the joint meeting will be held as sche- duled.” The white haired commissioner was a picturesque figure at the Na- tional Association .of Professional Baseball League convention today. The first session of the minor of the le ber “13, a da leaguers was set for this afternoons When President H. M> Sexton will begin the organization work and appoint committees to consider im- portant problems.\ The first import- ant session will be held toniorrow afternoon. The question or the draft probably will be brought up and it is reported that the Texas League and the Southern Associa- tion, which now recognizes the right of the majors, to select play- ers annually, would seek to join the American Association, International Pacific Coast, Western and Three Eye League—the five organizations that declined to subscribe to the draft. \ / The American Association club owners who yesterday re-elected President Thomas J. Hickey for a five year term reconvened today to gonsider the adoption of a schedule. John W. Norton, President of the St. Paul club, was recelected vice- resident for five years.

J., Dec. 5.—Who is the most popular student at Prince- ton? I put that question to a bunch of undergraduates with whom I. was discussing the victory over Harvard and Yale. The celebration was being held in jthe modern way. There was no cheering for Mr. Volstead. The gang looked at me in a rather puzzled manner. I gue8s they thought I was trying to josh them. Seeing I was in garnest, one of them replied: “Well, gang, let's tell him.” Then getting together for close harmony they gave the old Tiger yell and ended. up with Gray, Gray, Gray. All of which paves the way for the big punch of the story. % The most popular student at Princeton University is Howard K. Gray of Omaha, Neb. ' Star in All. Branches Another reason for this story is that Gray~is the star “end of. the varsity football team. His excellent all-round work on the gridiron makes him an All-America possi- bility. Against Chicago is was Gray who recovered a tumble and ran 40 yards for a touchdown. That feat came at a time when Princeton was trailing, 18 to 7. It put new spirit into the Tigers and they eventually won the game, 21 to 18. e Against Harvard it, was Gray's sensationa] run on a triple pass that carried the ball to Harvard’s two- yard line and placed Princeton in a Position to score the only touchdown of the game. * ! Gray was president of his fresh- man class, also the sophomore. He declined the honor as a junior. This year he was the unanimous choice of the senior class for its president. In addition, Gray is also presid of four othe? Princeton orgiy tions—the Varsity Club, the Club, the Student Council and the Philadelphia Society.
