Yates, e star of the stellar team, fell hope- gsly behind in his studies, and was ropped. He is being colonized at rinceton for next season. Black, Mc- rath, FHutchinson, Van Nostrand, iser, and Bingham have been on the [de lines most of the fall because ol pnditions, but Van Nostrand, Bing- am, and Black have been declared igible, and it is likely that McGrath's hise will be settled at once. There is possibility of Hutchinson becoming ligible next week. but the chances are ply slight for such favorable action.

BAR TRINITY, N. Y. U. TELLS COLUMBIA 1{ Morningside Heights Eleven Mingles With Brickley, the Violet Team Will Not Meet Them New York, Nov. 6.—Dr. Frank B. Cann, director of athletics at New York University, and Theodore E. Shulte, manager of the Violet eleven, called on Harry A. Fisher of Colum- bia yesterday and discussed the George Brickley case for an hour. Al- though no announcement was made it can be sald on good authority that New York University presented fits case in such a manner that should Columbia see fit to play Trinity next Saturday with Brickley in her lineup it would be impossible for the Violet eleven to go to South Field November 20 The conference was friendly and the contract for the game scheduled for November 20 was held up until Columbia reaches a decision. Grad- uate Manager Fisher =aid that an- other meeting of the Columbia com- mittee on athletics will be held Mon- day and the matter will be settled then. He added that he did not know what would be done, but it is safe to say that if it comes to a choice be- tween playing Trinity the Blue and ‘White authoritites will choose the former. Dr. Cann, it is said, put the question in such a way as to show that should New York university play Columbia after the latter had met Trinity she would be violating the amateur rule {just 8 much as if N. Y. U. played Trinity., According to his interpreta- tion of the rule, professionalism is ia contagious disease. If. N. Y. U, played . Trinity her men would be- . come inoculated with professionalism. If Columbia plays the Hartford team, | the Blue and White gridiron men will ‘lose their amateur standing and . in | that way when N_ Y. U. came to 8outh | field her men would lose their S8imon-. pure rating as amateurs, To those on the Morningside Heights campus it looks as if Colum- bia is between the devil and the deep blue sea. No matter what course the committee on athletics takes ons game is certain to be stricken off the schedule. Most Columbia men are irclined to favor N. Y. U’s stand. “It is doubtful,” a member of the Columbia committee on athletics said yesterday, “if Trinity will withdraw Brickley now in view of the publicity his case has caused. Before the Wil- liams game Was the time to do it with grace. While we don’t want to appear unfriendly to Trinity, it looks now as if the game will be cancelled.” It has been brought to the atten- tion of New York University that Carl Jenkins, captain and right tackle of the Union team, has signed a contract to try out for the pitching staff of the New York Americans and that he' Dartmouth Halfback, One of Real‘ Stars of the This moleskin warrior has done some brilliant all around playing since the | beginning of the season.

According to Mr. Kirby, a man has to knowling play against a professionul in order to be liable to banishment from amateur sports. While the Trinity game may take up most of the time of the Columbia officials, the players have enough to worry about. The Connecticut Aggies are scheduled to play the Blue and White eleven on South field today. Coach Metcalf announced that Jeff Healy, his star tackle, and E. Lit- tauer, his powerful fullback, cannot possibly get in the game. In the face of the loss of this pair Thomas Thorp predicted that Columbia Wwill win by twenty peints. The loss of Donoho has compelled Metcalf to put In a makeshift backfield in which Capt. Simonds is the only regular. Eckey Clder will be back in the game, although he will not play (o0 the final whistle. Babcock has been paying at left enn. Donaldson has been shifted from tackle to guard. In practice yesterday Coach Metcalf laid special emphasis on the defensive play. The Aggies have been strength- ened greatly and now average a lit- le heavier in weight than Columbia. EW SEAMEN’S LAW. Yoreign Bullt Ships Exempted From Safety-At-Sea Provisions. Washington, Nov. 6.—An executive order was issued 'vesterday suspending the operation of the safety-at-sea provisions of the new seamen’s law, 80 far as they would affect foreign built ships admitted to registry under the foréign registry act of 1914, The foreign act authorized the president to suspend all the inspection features of the ‘navigation laws as affecting fcreign built ships applying for American registry. An executive order issued in Sep- tember, 1914, suspended such lawa for two years, and it was supposed that it would automatically suspend the amendments to the inspection laws contained in the seamen’s law. At- torney General Gregory, however, held that a new executive order would “e necessary to cover amendments to the laws suspended. e — If You Want Good Bottled Beer, Wine or Liquors, Order Same from PHILIP BARDECK, 185 Arch St. ’Phone 482-2 BOWLING Clubs and Yrivate Par.ies Accommodated, - Hndlnq“ Nelson, #712-174 ARCH STREET., Year BERRY OF PENN. IN ‘PRO’ ATHLETIC NET ‘Haled Before A. A. U. Philadelphia. Nov. 6.—The of professionalism, which on Wednes- net of Pennsylvania’s star football play- ers, Walsh, Grant, and Stack, had been spread over Howard Berry, the 8reatest all-around athlete in colle- giate circles, according to information reaching Amateur Athletic union 6f- ficlals here. On Wednesday Berry declined to take part in as football ] scrimmage when ordered to do so by the Penn. coaches, and when re- Proached informed Chairman Wharton Sinkler of the football committee that he was through with athletics. Accusations against Berry, which are said to be in the hands of Sec- retary Irederick W. Rubien of the Amateur Athletic union in New York, assert that he played semi-profes- siona] baseball before he came to the University of Pennsylvania. This in- formation was conveyed to Mr. Rubien, it is said, by Peter J. Carn-y, former handicapper of the Middle Atlantic association of the A, A. U, who has made charges against a num- ber of prominent athletes and of- ficlals c¢f the Middle Atlantic asso- ciation According to the best information Carney asserts that when Berry went to Muhlenberg college about three years ago it was known at the time that he had played on semi-profes- sional baseball teams around Phila- delphia., After leaving Muhlenberg applied for admission into the Ama- teur Athletic union. He received his card. but it is said only after a bitter fight, in which he is supposed to have been aided by President Pawling of the Middle Athletic association, who is now the center of a battle in which Carnry is one of the attacking forces. The information which Carney is said to have given Secretary Rubien will be acted upon at the meeting of the Amateur Athletic union in New York on November 15 Berry came into prominence as an athlete when he won the all-around championship in the Pennsylvania re- lay sports here last April. He was by far the best of the field, and by his | | the title of “strong man." | ficient in almost every branch of sport, especially athletics, baseball, and football. His work on the grid- iron squad has been excellent. Berry alleges that he has not re- celved fair treatment from the foot- ball coaches at Pennsylvania. HAVE STRONG OPPONENTS.

Jerry is now toiling on the Cotton Exchange, and during the visit the din outside was terrific. Who's the cheer leader?” we asked. “The more racket, the more money,” remarked Jerry. Which brings up a near-thought. Having velled for pay, if any of those cn the Exchange ever decided to go to some college and try for the cheer- ing squad would they be eligible to start a vocal cataclysm in behalf of | their university?

Many enllege chess players have played for money. I could name any number, but will mention Capablanca. In the chess arena everybody is a profession- | al. The Chess Players’ league may have the only proper system after all. By declaring everybody connected with sport a professional the last of the frenzied arguments and debates would be settled.

PENN WANTS WILLIAMS. Alumni and Students Favor Making Him Coach For Rest of Season. Philadelphia, Nov. 6.—A movement has been gradually gaining headway at Pennsylvania among undergrad- uates and prominent alumni to have the football committee appoint Dr. Carl Willlams absolute head coach for the remainder of this season, as he was when Penn had its greatest teams in 1904 .and 1905. It is felt by most of them that the failure of a case of too many coaches. George Brooke has the head. their opinions differ on any each teaches his set of players ac- cording to his own ideas, the result being that the linemen, ends and backfield all have different styles of playing. ‘Willlams yesterday answered those who have criticised him -for officiat- ing at the Harvard-Princeton game today instead of going with the Penn team to Boston. He said he had promised to act as an official a month before he knew he was to coach Penn this season.
