H., Dec. the season a story came middle west to the effect s trying to .—EBarly in from the that Dart- wean from the Minnesota football player named Quist. The accredited to Dr. M. L, Wiliams, Minnesoto coach, and it looked though a rather raw case of prosely- ting had come to light. Dartmouth alumni were so indig- nant when they read the story that they began at once a thorough inves- tigation of thc matter. A statement of the facts discovered appears in the current issue of the Dartmouth alum- ni magazine and shows clearly that the story was the result of a misunder- standing and that Dartmouth men were in no way to blame. The state- ment reads in part as follow: “Quist had for some yea past been more or less interested in Dart- mouth college. He had talked with various alumni of the institution and had learned from them that an im- pecunious boy who can satisfy scol- arship conditions may sccure aid from the college to the extent of $60 tow- ard the $140 tuition charge. Bevond this small opportunity, which is open to all alike, he had received no special encouragement “Shortly after the opening of the football season this fall, however, Quist calle@ upon Dr. Wiliams and in- quired as to his prespects for a place on the Minnesota team. In course of the conversation he suggested to Dr. Williams that he had an excellent op- portunity to go to Dartmouth. Dr. Williams, assuming the complete ac- curacy of Quist’s statements and read- ing into them perhaps more than the actual words warranted, later made some unguarded remarks to newspa- per reporters, who seized upon them and gave them wide publicity. “Inquiry on behalf of the Dart- mouth alumni council was conducted in Minnesota by Henry D. Thrall of the class of 1906. TIn a letter to Mr. Thrall, under date of October 20, 1915, Dr, Williams makes substantial with- drawal of whatever assertions may have been credited to him by the newspape He in conclusion, I am sorry that a reflection has hee cast upon Dartmouth and will what 1 can to help straighten it out. “The alumni council conducted its investigation solely for the purpose of defending the good name of Dart- mouth and with no desire to embarrass any individuals involved in the case. The name of the college and its alum- ni having been completely cleared and documents having been filed with the secretary of the council, the affair, in so far as Dartmouth is concerned, is considered satisfactorily closed.” of a was the as story orynuts, 1306.

ALUMNI MEETING. All alumni of the New Britain High school are invited to meet In the high school gymnasium Thursday evening, when an alumni association will be formed. One of the main ob- jects Is to arouse interest enough to make a better showing in football at the annual alumni game between the New Britain and Hartford High schools. Qe s Christmas on the Off-trail. We thought we had forgotten all the years that lie behind us; And though no vision beckons through the years that wait ahead, The white and scarlet berries of the season still remind us That dreams were merely sleeping which we thought forever dead. For, vagabonds, it's Christmas, And the clans are congregating; 0O, vagabonds, it's Christmas, And we've come 50 far away And in the lonesome shadow They are waiting, walting, waiting For those who've lost the road that leads To homre on Christmas Day. We met our mate, the tramping wind, and so we let it lead us From one with rose-blood in her veins and sunshine in her hair: It called us from a mother who we thought would never need us Until the gray December winds brought in her silent prayer. For Christmas on the Off-trail Tsn't what we used to think it; The little horns are calling With the roll-beat of the drum; And as we lift our mocking toast And sullenly we drink it, A kid calls “Mother—mother”— And we know how far we’'ve come. Gray ghosts across the drifting years, they come upon our dreaming. The kids we used to know before we knew the rover’s fate. The little stockings by the hearth, the mother love a-streaming From weary eyes that look ini vain beyond an old time gate. 0,- vagabonds, -to-morrow We_will start with rag and. pack ‘againy Tk i And' leave a merry song behind Without a’ parting wor But niow we'd give know k The Christmas highway back again, To whisper “Mother—mother’— our souls to And know that she had' heard. Speaking of 1915 records, we have run across the most inspired printer of all time. In a certain Middle ‘Western sporting page he set up “Organized Bull.” If the baseball scribes are ever sent to Europe to cover the war it takes no wonderful prophet to know their headquarters will be—viz. La Panne, France. The Fed slogan is “Peace at any slice—if the slice is big enough.” The idea seems to be highly preva- ient both among the Feds and O. R. that sportsmanship depends upon the | size of omne’'s bankroll. The more kale a man has the finer sportsman he is. Which, most of tha time, he isn't. Money is the greatest coward that time records. | game’s only score. Peace Plus Something Else. “I thought,” writes L. H. G., “that you were strong for peace between the Feds and O. B. Yet when peace is launched you break out in violent de- nunciation of both.” We were and we did. Peace is the only thing that will save baseball Dut peace isn’'t all. Even peace won’t save it if the same old bunch continue to handle the game in the same old way. i The time has come for a new deal for the game—for a higher, cleaner | type of sportsmanship. Unless that| comes, too, peace alone will only put; off for a while the day of the death rattle. “Into the Night.” Dear Sir: It is announced in to- day's paper that Theodore M. McNair, Princeton 79, is dead in Japan, where | for thirty vears he had been engaged in missionary work. He was a hard hitting dominie. Dr McNair was one of the greatest football players Princeton ever had. He played three years against Yale— *77, *78 and '79—and never lost a game.

In talking of his retirement from the ring the Cadillac (Mich.) wildcat said recently: “I have over $200,000 salted quite enough to keep the wolf away from the door for many a day.

BLACK Yale Football Leader Urges That Secret Be Forgotten New Haven, Dec. 20—Clinton Black Yale's new football captain, declared last night that an innovation would be made next year in prohibiting fromn the field all incligible players, except those whose ineligibility. consisted of coming from other colleges. For once the players will be compelled to study. Captain Black appealed to the players to forget secret societies and work with only the university in mind. He said that Yale had been disgraced by | its defeats of the last few seasons. In dicussing the football situation he said: “The ‘outlook for football at Yale next year is very bright. It is prob- , | ably brighter than it was last year, be« cause the men have been made 1o realize that they have to keep up in their work, and next year there ought There will the from be no ineligible men allowed on field excopt those who enter othor colleges. There is no use in going over the ineligible squad this vear, which many people claim was a disgrace, because the men have found themselves and have wettled down to conecientious studyving ““The proposition we face next year is a different one and we must have the support of every one in the col: lege in order to have a team that will be a credit to the university. Every hie shoulder to the wheel and do hie' part everythiug will come out all right. Every one laughs about the Yale spirit but it is still here. We've up to us to show that it is here. We've got to bring it out next year, and and as the inducements were lberal | want to think about this all the time. | ones I consented to re-enter the ring. | Tn the course of two years 1 have is'd\'ed $20,000. retire from the ring, as those behind the sport are continually after a man | and offering good sized purses.

That is the record now maintained by Fddie Plank, who, in his forty-first year, led the pitching, in earned runs, as depicted by the Feds. Plank worked in 42 games for St. Louis. Of the 33 games completed he won 22, lost 11 and tied 1. He al- lowed but two earned rums' to ‘the battle, leadiig ¥ich. men as Tom | Season, Claude Hendrix, Cy Falken- berg and other stars The game has had its pitching won- ders, but none to lead a big league with a pitching arm forty-one years old. The fourth Fed pitcher in the list | was Miner Brown, who was still good | enough to win 17 games and lose| but 6. Brown and Matty. The careers of Brown and Matty, old rivals from eight or nine cam- paigns back, have had queer and curi- ous twists. In the campaign of 1906, 1907 and | 1908 they were the leading pitching | rivals of the game. Then three years' ago Brownie wrenched a knee and was shipped back to the minors. . He was apparently through, as he was| then 37 vears old. Matty, only 321 years old then, was figured with a | long spin ahead. Yet last season, where Brown won 17 games and lost | but 8, Matty drew the worst year of | his career, through a neuritic left shoulder. But there is balm in all this for the Giant star. Plank is a star at 41, and Brown still there at 40. Mathewson at 35 should be a long way from the finishing line—from the last lap. With that kink unravelled he should still have flve seasons ahead, and then be no older than Plank or Brown is today. Another Class Champ. Dear Sir—Here is a team that I should back with my little roll against Aymar Embury’s from the class of 1900 at Princeton. That was a good array, but how about this one from the class of 1915 at Harvard: Right end, Hardwick; R. T., Trum- | bull; R. G., Pennock: C. Wiggles- worth; L. G., Weston; L. T. Withing- ton; . L.

Johnson, left fielder of the Tacoma (Wash.) club, will get a trial with Brooklyn in the spring. 4 The veteran Charley O'Leary will | cover shortstop next season for the | St. Paul club of the American associa- tion. “I never buy a share of anything. T buy a controling interest, and that goes for the Giants, Cubs or an Okla- home all well.” Thus speaks Harry Sinclair. “If peace is declared I will demand a war indemnity. 1T relish a | fight, you know, and I am willing to spend money to enjoy myself.” Wendell, the former Pittsfield cat- cher now ‘with the Giants, is boosted as follows by the New' York Tribune: “It will take a mighty good:ball,player to keep Wendell on the bench. He can catch the ball, can throw, run and is a fair batter. Better than all ma- chanical ability, he 1is naturally smart.” “I for one do not want back any of those who left the Brooklyn club and joined the Federal forces.” says President Ebbets of Brooklyn. “T cannot forget the treatment the club received from Dalton, Tinker, Fisher and Knetzer. None of those players will ever wear a Brooklyn uniform if I can help it.” The contract jumpers in the Fed- eral league are: Chase and Roach of Buffalo, Marsans and Davenport of St. Louis, Konetchy and Comstock of Pittsburg, Magee of Brooklyn, George Johnson of Kansas City and Rankin Johnson, of Baltimore. Of these play- ers the Cincinnati club attempted to stop Marsans and George Johnson from playing with the Feds, and Comiskey tried to prevent Chase from playing with Buffalo. The Feds won all three cases in court. George Wiltse says he never saw such an improvement in a ball plaver as in Lee Magee. “He is'50 per cent better new than he was in the national league,” says George. “I rate him the best man in the Federals. He is lcarn- ing all the time. He is a better out- fielder than second baseman, but make no mistake, in another vear he'll be a star at the keystone sack. He is a great man for a team. He plays to win the games all the time, rather than for records. That's why I rate him beyond Kaufr.” The first offers of peace from any quarter developed at the last world's serles game between the Red Sox and Quakers Harry F.
