MONTCLAIR. X. 13.—The old Yale barn in Montclair today re-echoed tribute to Tad Jones as a “teacher of the finest brand of foot ball in the United States Referring to criticism of the Yale coach by ‘“apparently misguided wlumni,” E. K. Hall of the foot ball rules committee asserted at a recep- tion to the Blue's 1926 eleven that in Jones, the New Haven University “has not only one of the best experts on the modern game, but the kind of & man you and I would want our sons to be coached by." Hall, a Dartmouth graduate, told 200 Yale alumni that the greatest menace of foot ball today “ig the man who coaches to win at any Mds.” He admitted Yale sportsmanship, he said, hecause he had seen the college “take its lickings without alibis.” Preceding his address Phil Bunnell, captain of the 1926 team, scored alumni who had been as “credulous 1< many youngsters in kindergarten.” The effect of their criticisms, he sald, had been felt by the team, which this vear lost four games preceding a final vietory over Harvard. Receiving the distinguished service cup of the Montclair Alumni tion of Yale for conspicuous public /service reflecting credit on the uni- versity, W. W. Atterbury, president of the Pennsylvania Raliroad, added & note of regret at the breaking up of the “Big Three” through the Har- vard-Princeton split. “If we are consistently licked and we don't take our medicine without showing a vellow streak, I'll be sorry ALEXANDRIA SCHOOL FIVE PLAYS TONIGHT Qu: December | £ PRO FOOT BALL. !

WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER. OLUMBIA Junior High Sehool athletes will engage in an outdeor program of sports this Winter for the first time, according to Ruth Brigham, physical training director. Formerly, when cold weather ar- rived, the girls at Columbia betook themselves to the school gymnasium for their sports, but this vear they have donned warm sweaters and de- fied the chilling breezes to halt their play in the spacious outdoor field which is several times as large as their indoor quarters. Captain ball, end ball, basket ball and volley ball are the main features of their cold-weather program. End ball and captain ball are games de- signed mainly to drill the players in the various departments of the more compleated sport—basket ball. End ball teaches passing and guarding. Captain ball develops speed and ac curacy in finding the basket. Actual basket ball practice will not begin until after January 1.

Washn ES FOR WEEK Hoosiers Play Hard Hook Shot BASKET BALI BY SOL METZGER. Indiana_boasts of more good asket ball teams than any other te or province of America. The Hoosiers know the game, too, es- peclally how to roll up scores. You will find more players ¢ that State skilled in making the one- hand hook pass for a basket than in any other. Many teams use this overhead loop pass purely for long passing after recovery of the ball from the backboard, but in Indiana they use it to score a basket from the floor and most suc- ssfully. Watch a good Indiana team play. Presume their offense gets into a jam, one of the forwards being driven to a corner where he cannot get an opportunity to shoot for the basket. Nine out of ten times a teammate will rush across in front of the basket, parallel to the end line, take & pass from his cornered forward, and as he passes the basket curl one in with a one- hand hook shot. Such a play is ex- plained in the dlagram above. Fig. 1 shows this player catching the pass from his teammate. Fig. 2 shows him just after starting the hook pass. He holds the ball with fingers spread and starts the pass walst high and makes it fol- lowing his jump into the air, by swinging his fully extended arm right up over his shoulder. It is a great scoring shot once a player. has mastered it. It takes more skill in execution than any other basket shot. (Copyright, 1926.) The regular bimonthly meeting of the Capital Athletic Club will be held tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock at Wilson Normal School following basket ball practice, which is sched- uled from 7 to 8 o’clock. This evening gym classes will be held at 8 o'clock in the Columbia Heights Community, Center gymna- slum at Wilson Normal. The Cap- itolites will swim Wednesday evening in the Y. M. C.

It was decided at a meeting last night to meet every Wed- nesday evening in the Holton Arms gymnasium, on Church street, for practice. A few games probably will be arranged by the group with local sextets later in the season, although no formal schedule is being planned. Last year one game was played with the Baltimore I'feld Hockey As- sociation, which also organizes basket ball squads each Winter, and the cal club expects to play the Orioles in this season. The Arcadian is carded to meet the Carltons this evening at 8 o'clock at the Arcadia, ourteenth street near Park road, in the third game of their three-gume series with this aggregation of boys.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. NEW YORK, December 13.—Base ball will continue its *“grand tour” until the expiration of this week. Some of the minor league owners left the Asheville, N. C., meeting for ":hhk/ngn, Some of them came to New ork. Those who went to Chicago have deals that are cooking with members of the American League, which meets there. The National League wliil meet in New York on Tuesday and will ad- jJourn about noon Wednesday, so that the owners may take the fast trains to Chicago for the joint session with the commissioner of base ball which begins Thursday noon. The joint session is not expected to last beyond one day. There is no | one who has disclosed any intention of throwing red fire into the meeting room. Storles emanating from the base ball rumer pot say that the National League men are not of one mind so much as they were, but there is little possibility that any alliance will be effected with the seven Ameri- can League owners who are peeved because the National “played politics.” Some think that if a National League member did bolt the caucus and refuse to abide by its “all for Landis” resolution of a year ago, the resolution might still bind the league. Others say that no resolution would The 1921 Princeton-Harvard game at Prniceton was one of the most spectacular of my career and it end- ed the tle which had prevailed for two years between the two elevens. In 1919 and 1920 the teams were dead- locks, the former ending 10 to 10 and the latter 14 to 14. This fact added tremendously to the interest of the game and the coaching staff of each eleven concentrated with all power in an effort to develop each team to the highest pitch for the crucial con- test. All else was disregarded. On an ideal day that year both highly trained elevens took the field with little to choose between them as to brilllancy of individual players. Harvard had such noted stars as Charlle Buell, George Owen and Keith Kane, while Princeton had the fam- ous Don Lourie, Hank Garrity and Stan Keck, the latter a particularly brilliant_interferer. Two plays during the game settled the final score—the first a failure through hard luck, yet that which made the second possible and suc- cesstul. In the .

As the whole game cen- tered about thcse two plays I, will tell of them. Just after the start of the game Princeton o b - tains tha ball in a b out midfield. Falling with a_couple of rushes to do damage, Don Lourie, Princeton quar- ter-back, called an open formation with Snively, our passing star, in the passer’s position. This play had been eftectively used against Harvard in the games of the past two years. Snively was a great passer and this! formation always was a great threat. \The formation called for three men wide on the right, an end and two backs in_ triangular position, the end on the line of scrimmage and two backs two yards behind. The left end would play wide with one back under the center to prevent the spreading of the line. If Harvard did spread this back would buck center; if not Snively, 10 yards back, would take the ball back two yards and then pass to such man as was free, four going down the field as he stepped back. In this first play Ed Stinson man- aged to get free on the Harvard goal line, 650 yards away. Snively threw an accurate pass that great distance right into his arms. Our hard luck came when, in reaching. for the ball, he hit the Harvard goal post and it was_knocked@ from his outstretched hands. It was a beautiful and spec- tacular play even though it failed. No Scoring in First Half. Neither team scored in the first half, as neither ever had an opportunity after that play. In the third quarter Gilroy intercepted a forward pass and ran to the 25-yard llne. Snively then passed to Garrity and we had the ball on their 3-yard line. But Harvard made a brillilant stand and we lost the ball on downs, apparently losing our chances to score. In the first part of the fourth quar- ter Buell signaled for a fair catch and got one of Lourie’s kicks on the Har- vard 40-yard line. Owen faked a drop- kick and sent a high punt in the air. The Harvard line was on side, and before Princeton knew it a Harvard end had the ball. It was deliberately run into the center of the fleld, and on the next play Owen kicked a field goal, taking a 3-to-0 lead. Only a few minutes of play remained, and it BiLL ROPER ] 6.

It isn't sure thers will be an elec tion. Commissioner Landis simply recommended an election, as his tern: of office expires prior to the date of the next joint session in 1927. No one knows whether the commissione: would accept the office if they do re elect him. He hasn't been heari from in any way. It is poseible he may want some things changed if he is to be re-elected, but it is very im probable that he would consent to an; diminution of his powers. While there were few deals of con sequence between the minor and ma Jor league clubs in Asheville, there may be transfers of players betwee: some of the major clubs in Chicagu next week. Bob Gilks, who scouted for the N York Americans for some years an obtained many good players for ther —Gilks found Addie Joss years ago- has quit the Yanks and will be witi another major club in the East with in a short time. Gilks in his tim: has unearthed ball players who have been transferred later for sum amounting to more than a quarter « a million dollars. My 25 Years on the Gridiron BY WILLIAM A. ROPER, HEAD COACH PRINCETON UNIVERSITY XVI—Breaking the Harvard-Princeton Tie. off, being desperate. On the very first play Lourie called the same formation as on the opening play with Snively in the passer's position. Harvard, with that long pass of Snively's in mind, figured on another "such play. The backfield dropped back and one end shifted so that he was five yards behind the line. On our side Lourie Stinson and Gilroy shifted to the right with Stinson on the end. Harvard men cried to watch Lourie, our fast man. The stage was thought she w: perfect pass was made to by Wittmer, our center, and dowi the field like a streak of lightnin: went Lourie and Stinson, followed by most of the Harvard backfleld. Snive ly stood ready to make a pass. Gil roy, the third man, deployed on the right, stood still and did not start with his teammates. He was not no ticed for an instant, as he had not carried the ball all the afternoon being a great defensive player and good at interference. Gilroy Catches the Pass. Snively made a feint to throw (v Lourfe, who was yards down the fleld. The Harvard end was cover- ing Don. Instantly Snively threw to Gilroy. The fact that the Harved end was covering Lourie gave Gil roy a chance to get started. Har vard instantly saw her mistake of following the wrong man. The backs were to the left of Gilroy as he ran down the sideline, but one or two would certainly have got him but for the fact that Keck left his tackle position, crossed over and took out two Harvard men, one after the other. Gilroy never ran faster, but it seemed an eternity before he reached the Harvard goal line and threw himsel? over it as a Harvard man tackled him. It was a wonderful play, pe: fectly executed at the right time an: made possible by that long 50-yard pass to Stinson at the start of the game. It was about the greatest play I ever saw, as a matter of fac and won the game for us (Covyright. 1926.) WELCH WILL LEAD PITT.
