"MILLER HUGGINS PLAN SN, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1917, FOR FOOD CONSERVATION BY YANKEES—ANNAPOLIS ELEVEN, R THE SENSATION OF 1917 FOOTB SEASON—WESTE LEAGUE TO OPPOSE FORMATION OF NEW CIRCUIT—BRENNAN AND COFFEY BATTLE TO A DRAW—NOTED ENGLISH GOLFERS MAY COME TO U.S. e e T e MIDSHIPHEN HAVE POWERFLL ELEVEN With Little Training Time, Team Has Piled Up Big Scores | One of the strangest features of the Present eastern college football sea- #on is the spectacle of the Unitea States Naval and Military Academies turning out the strongest elevens in several seasons while much larger in- stitutions are unable to support teams acording to official statements owing to the pressure of war work among the students. Under normal condi- tlons the Sailors and Soldiers have | but scanty time for gridiron training a8 compared with the periods devoted to football work by the average col- lege and university squad. That the two Academies should be able to put such powerful combinations on the flald as those which represent the Army and Navy this season is little short of remarkable. That such is the case, however, is| amply proved by the records for the ,season up to the close of the month | of October. In this period of about five weeks of play the Middies have | Tun up a total 6f 238 points in five ' games and lead all the other eastern elevens in this respect by a comfort- able margin. The Cadets have not ‘been quite so active in this respect, being tied with the University of Pennsylvania for fifth place. The Navy also possesses in Ingra- ham the best individual scorer to date ' among the teams of the same section. Ingraham has collected 105 points ihis contribution to the success of the ‘Middies eleven. His nearest competi- tor, strange to say, is Oliphant of the Army, who has scored 66 points. In both these cases the scores were made through touchdowns and goals from touchdowns alone. In all around scor- ing McCreight of Washington and Jefferson and Meehan of Syracuse are the leaders. McCreight has scored four touchdowns; six goals from touchdowns, and four field goals. Meehan has collected four touch- downs, seven goals from touchdowns and two fleld goals. U. §. CALLS EXPERTS Government to Use Trap Shooters As Tutons For Soldiers in Rifle Prac- tice—Amateurs to Retain Standing. New York, Nov. 10.—Uncle Sam is making expert trap shooters to teach the soldiers the fine points of the game. This became known yester- day at the annual convention of the Interstate Association of Trap Shoot- ers in the Hotel Astor. It was an- nounced at the meeting that the Gov- ernment has requested the association to furnish it with a list of gunners ) who would make good instructors at the various aviation and cantonment centers. There are eighty-four ot ' these centers in this country. | The association has sent the names of more than 200 experts to Washing- ' ton. It also has sent 1,600,000 blue | rocks to the camps and a like num- ber of clay birds to France. They will be used for recreation for the sol- diers and incidentally to keep the boys shooting eyes In training for sniping and other sharp work in the trenches. It was declded at yesterday’s meet- ing that any amateur called into the United Btates service would not lose his amateur standing, even if he does receive remuneration for his work of | teaching soldiers how to shoot.

Senior-Junior Crew Takes Feature in WESTERN LEAGUE READY TO FIGHT BATTLE T0 A DRAW Coffey and Brc._n;mn Fight Fast F Round Exhibition at Harlem S. C. -Jim Coffey, the Brennan, the of Chicago, New York, Nov. 10 Dublin giant, and Bill heavyweight bruiser Harlem Sporting club last ni N L was one of the most interesting heavyweight mills of the season. Coffey showed remarkable game- ness, staming and punishing power. Tarly in the fight Brennan had the Roscommon behemoth in a very bad In the third Rrenpan connect- {ed with a wicked right swing to the jaw that shook Irish Jim and almost dropped him to his knees. Again in the sixth big James was sick from Brennan's vicious right firmly plant- ed on the chin. % But Coffey was in excellent condi- tion and, even in his most extreme danger was always cool and collected and apparently self-confident. He took all Brennan had without breaking ground, even eager at times to stop one with any part of his anatomy for the privilege of a return shot. It looked, after the third round, as If Coffey would be lucky to stick the limit. His right eye was cut badly in the very first round, and this for a time affected his aim. He was wild with his leads. At the beginning of the. second round Coffey put a hard right to Brennan's jaw that rocked the Windy City lad back on his heels. But Brennan returned the compli- ment with 100 per cent interest. His heavy right hand smashes to the jaw had big Jim shaking at the knees when the bell rang. Coffey, however, had a new trick up his sleeve, that not only retrieved his poor start, but almost eliminated Brennan by the knock-out route as well. This was a right uppercut to the body following a left lead. Jiny used it repeatedly and connected, ap- parently, at will. The severe body punches not only slowed up Brennan, but took most of the sting out of Bill's wallop. Coffey was the stronger and more aggres- sive at the end. BURNSIDES COMING Crack Up-State Eleven to Face Red- woods Tomorrow Afternoon at Hickey Has Teams to Supplant Those Going to Proposed League | { Chicago, Nov. 10.—The American ' association is ready to place teams in Indianapolis, Louisville and Toledo, if these clubs decide to withdraw and merge with certain clubs of the In- ternational league, President Hickey | of the American association said last night. Negotiations have been closed with men with the necessary capital, he said. George Tebeau, who only recently sold the Kansas City club, said he would attend the association meeting in Louisville next Monday prepared to accept a franchise in any of the three cities. “I thought I was out of baseball, but this is too good a proposition to pass up,” Tebeau said. *“I might have to lose $50,000 getting started, but a franchise would be worth it.” | | Indianapolis, Nov. 10.—The West- ern league will fight any movement for a third major league, which pro- vides for the American association taking over any Western league ter- ritory, according to E. W. Dickerson, president of the Western league, who was here yesterday on his way to Louisville to attend the meeting next | week of the National association, the governing body of minor league base- ball. The Western league will meet in Louisville on Sunday, and Presi- dent Dickerson said the president of levery club in the league will be in attendance. “The talk of a third major league, considering present business condi- tions, is all bosh,” said Mr. Dicker-~ son. ‘“Instead of a new league there s more likely to be a curtailing of leagues. ““The fact that the Western leag®e has the same rights in the protection of its territory that are enjoyed by the American association and other leagues covered by organized baseball seems to have been overlooked. The Western league will be in the ficld next year, stronger than ever.” EMPIRES VS. MOHAWKS. Princeton Regatta. Princeton, N. J., Nov. 10.—Prince- ton’s fall rowing season was brought to 'a close here yesterday afternoon with the annual fall regatta. In a driving finish the senlor-junior boat just nosed out the freshman eight in the feature race of the event. The upper classmen had an aedvantage of about a length at the end over the freshmen, while the sophomore beat was third. A mixed crew of men from the three upper classes brought up the rear. The race was ever the Henley distance and was covered in 8:04 2.5, The sophomores took the lead, but were soon passed by the senmfor-junior boat. The freshman got off to a poor start, and probably would have won had it not been for this, for they threatened the leading boats all the way. This race was preceded by a contest in which four freshman crews in gigs cor:peted over a mile course. The Empires of this city will | tempt to smear the Mohawk eleven | of Meriden all over the Newington road grounds tomorrow afternoon.

Little at- tention has been given in the past to conditioning baseball players except on the baseball field; but this year the Yanks will also be trained in the dining rooms. Most ball players have ferocious appetites and, as a rule, they eat long and often. Secretary Harry Sparrow has been elected chief of the training table, and he has al- ready arranged the different menu cards far the players. The reason why some of the play- ers had poor days on the ball fleld last scason was because of too much eating of fancy dishes at the noon- day meals. If a player /sits down just before a ball game and helps himself to a young banquet, he isn’'t especially spry on the ball fleld. More than one ball player has eaten him- self out of the major leagues by liv- ing too high. Major league baseball clubs nowadays stop at the best ho- tels, and oftentimes when the players invade the dining rooms, the daily re- past takes on the proportions of a barbecue. Ball players, like all other mortals, are apt to eat too much. The food conservation plans of Secretary Sparrow come at a time to bring delight ta Herbert Hoover, although that gentleman has had nothing to do with the diet scheme of the Yankees. If Mr. Hoover had ever witnessed a batch of hungry baseball players approaching ' thelr frugal meals, he might have some- thing important to say. What Mr. Sparrow hopes to do is ta steer the ball players into a diet of plain, wholesome food. All the dishes with the long fancy French names will go into the discard. The appe- tites of the players will be teased with dishes such as adorn the home hoard. The training table will be fashioned after the training tables which are in vogue for college ath- letes. One of the itenis on the break- fast menu is the time-hanored dish of prunes. Cereals also have a con- spicuous place. The noon-day lunch is lighter than usual and consists of only plain foods. The dinner bill is plain but substantial. It contains no elaborate dishes, but has been ar- ranged to satisfy the highly charged call of the inner man which comes after a hard day on the ball field. Roast beef, corned beef and cabbage, and spring lamb are among the meats on the dinner menu, while the famous trio of stews—beef, lamb, and Irish— are among those present. Meatless and wheatless days also have their places on the eating program. MARANVILLE TO ENLIST.
