New Haven, Dec, 4.—Although Yale lost its entire basketball team at the close of last season, the five which won the Intercollegiate League cham- pionship, decision has been reached to try to organize both freshman aad ‘varsity teams for the coming season. Both squads reported yesterday *o Captain Stradella, who had already enrolled twenty-five for the 'varsity camp. Permission has been given by the faculty for a Christmas trip for the five to be enrolled .in the Intercol- legiate League again. No other team 88 league; Universal of the league lost its entire team of | last season, and a census which has just been taken establishes the fact | that Cornell, Dartmouth and Colum- bia, the fives which stood lower in the league race last year, have lost the fewest veterans. - Even Coach Bernie Tommers of the Yale team has left college to enter military service. Kinney will be available for some coaching during the season, but most of the coaching will probably be done by William Mec- Kiney Barber, who was one of Yale's most valuable players a dozen years ago, and who is now Yale's graduate member of the Intercollegiate Baskot- ball League. WALKER DARTMOUTH COACH. Willlams’ Football Mentor to Take Charge of Basketball Team. Willlamstown, Dec. 4.—Fred Wal- ker, who turned out an undefeated .| football eleven at Willlams this past season. will make his Eastern debut as a basketball coach at Dartmouth. He returned yesterday from New York, where arrangements were com- pleted with athletic authorities of the Hanover college for taking charge of the Green five this winter. { At New York, besides closing his | engagement at Dartmouth, Walker, together with all the members of the ‘Williams eleven, was a guest of honor at a banquet held Saturday evening by the Willilams club of that city. New York alumni presented Mrs. Walker with a handsome gold watch in ap- preciation of her husband’s work in developing the first unbeaten eleven | at Williams. THOMPSON IN DRAFT. Toronto, Can., Dec. 4.—Harold Thompson, Larry Lajoie’s southpaw whose hitting compelled him to ap- pear frequently in the Toronto out- field last season, has been drafted, ac- cording to word received from his home in Nanticoke, Pa., and so the ‘Washington club loses another play- er for the coming campaign. Mana- ger Griffith was awarded Thompson in | the draft last September. MAHAN'S MARINES BEATEN BY NAVY, Charlestown Navy Yard Eleven, Coached by Leary, Does Trick Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 4.—The football team from the Charleston navy yard defeated the eleven rep- resenting the League Island Marines from Philadelphia vesterday by 7 to 0. The contest brought together prob- ably the greatest collection of stars seen in any game this vear. The Marines were led by Eddie Mahan, | former Harvard captain, and tnciuded Garlow of the Carlisle Indians, Lud cf Colgate. The navy yard combina- tion, coached by Leo Leary of Har- vard had Casey, Enright and Murray of Harvard and Cannell of Dart- mouth in the backfleld. Because the Stadium Fleld was frozen solid the teams had to plxy in the mud on the freshman gridiron. More than 5,000 surrounded the bat- tle ground. The score hardly shows the difference in the teams for the Navy eleven was the aggressor all the way outgalning the Marines by n.ore than four yards to one. The Marines only once were anywhere near the Navy goal line. This came late in tho final period when Wilson com- pleted a forward pass from Mahan fu a twenty-five yard gain. He wa where another forward intercepted. Navy Shows Strength. The Marines gained only sixteen vards in their scrimmage play asile from four completed passes for thir- ty-seven yards, most of the passes being short, while the Charlestown outfit covered 227 yards from scrim- mage and only thirty-eight yards of this distance by the serial route. 1In the middle of the field the Marix could not stop Enright, Casey and Cannell, but weres much better near the goal line. In the first quarter the Navy rushed steadily for sixty-seven yvards before being held for downs on the Marines" 8 yard lne. Shortly after when a thirty yard advance had been stopped, Murray missed an easy chance for drop kick goal from 18 yards. To- ward the end of the quarter Lowrey pass was intercepted a Marine pass on the Ma- rines’ 26 yard line, and then, in eight plays, the Charlestown boys drove Cannell home for the winning touch- down,_ The play was at evens after that unti] almost the end of the gaiue, when Enright caught a pass made by Mahan on the Marines’ 35 yard line, and would have scored had not Mahan himself brought him down ren yards from the goal. There was time for only three plays, the game ending with the Navy in possession of the ball lesg than tiree vards from the goal. Mahan did some great passing but gained hardly a yard, so well was he covered, ex- cept once when he intercepted a Navy forward pass. The Marines received the entire proceeds. The Lineup.

Philadelphia, Dec. 4.—The track and field program of the Meadow- brook club, announced here yesterday, indicated that the big John Wana- maker institution will cater to the army and navy men during the com- ing winter season. It is planed to hold three meet- ings for the service men and to turn over the net profits to the athletic equipment fund.

McGraw, of the Giants, returned vesterday from his vacatio to helg prepare a deflnite policy for the | champion club of the National league | against next week’s annual meeting | of the Tener circuit. There seems little occasion for worry on the part of the New York Nationals as to the outcome of the pennant race of 1918, for it was by \lal’ the best aggregation in its com- pany and has suffered practically none from the military draft, while other rivals have been pretty hard hit since the close of the season. It is known, however, that the executive of the Giants does not regard with favor the proposition of an eighteen-player ros- ter for major league clubs. Personally, McGraw has always | been strongly opposed to any form of. player limit. He has always argugd that major league clubs should permitted to carry as many or few men as they chose. Through his influence Harry N. Hempstead has always fought every encroachment lalong this line from National league clubs not so fortunate in business op-. portunity as the Giants. New York held out stubbornly against the ‘twcmy-five-mayar roster when it was first adopted, and even more spiritedly against the twenty-two limit, wiich {now prevalls. One of McGraw's main arguments case, the Georgetown cleven that went | down to the soldiers being the Ken- tucky team representing Georgetown college of that state. In the Washington Herald’s selecs tion of players in the South Atlantic division, Dudack is selected as the right guard and Gilroy, Whelan and Maloney, his teammates are also given places on the myghical all- Southern team. Speaking of the game with the Usaac eleven of Allen- town, on Thanksgiving day in the national capitol, the Washington pa- pers are unanimous in their praise of the work of “Skipper” Dudack. Tn this contest the first score of the game was made by the local boy who recovered a fumble and raced twenty vards for a touchdown. A sample of the brilliancy with which Dudack played, is indicated by the recovery of a fumbled kickoff, resulting in the third touchdown for Georgetown. The defeated eleven has been touted as one of the greatest in the military football world, and the decisive man- | ner in which Georgetown trimmed | them, is indicative to the splendid manner in whidh the Hilltop boys per- fermed. TAUNTON IN FRONT American Roller Polo League Starts Off in an Auspicious Manner—Hig- gins Best Goal Getter. Providence, R. I, Dec. 4.—The opening week of the American Roller ! Polo league season was a great suc- cess from every standpoint. Big 232 audiences turned out in all the citles, | the crowds everywhere were better than had been hoped and the quality of the playing was equal to any shown during the first of any season in the past. For the first week of the season, be- | cause of Thanksgiving day and the double headers carded, the schedule was a hard one. In all 17 games were played during the week, making it a tough journey for the players, most of whom started playing without any preliminary practice whatever: But the players are gradually getting their polo legs on and with improved wind and a timely swing things should be easier this week. The Tauton team leads the league, with a record of flve games won to one lost. Worcester is second, with five wan ana iwo lost, Lowell passed the .500 mark Saturday night, while Brockton, by beating the leading team, moved up to evens and fourth place. Pfovidence had a disastrous week, finding the going on the road decided- ly rough. Lawrence brings up the rear with but one victory of seven sames. In the individual averages Mulligan of Warcester has a long lead over Oldham, in second place. In goal scoring Higgins of Worcester leads with 18, with O’'Hearne second with 15 and Hart third with 14, Carrigan has the most fouls on his list having been detected four times in trying to slip something over on the referee. Jim Cameron stands second with three, while a number have tran- scribed the rules once. i Pence of the Providence team leads the goal tenders, having a three-point ond place. Conley with .909 and Mul- len with .908 are the other goal tends over the .900 mark RICKEY AFTER HENDRICKS. | St. Louis, Dec. 4—Branch Rickey, president of the St. Louis Nationals, | said yesterday that he again has Jack Hendricks, manager of the Indian- apolis club, “under consideration” | for manager of the St. Louis Natlon- | als. He sald he did not know how far the negotiations had progressed for Hendricks to become owner of the Indianapolis club, RACING IN ENGLAND. Tondon, Dec. 4.—The English Joc- key club has announced the dates for heretofore nagainst the National league’s most conservative limit was most logical. He maintained that the American league, which was al- lowed to carry through the seasoft four more players than National league rivals, enjoyed.s decided edgo in the annual world series. This par- ticular argument will be kno¢ked into a cocked hat if both leagues adopt a limit of eighteen players per team, But still New York’s case can in ng { wise be benefited by any rule which may be argued fair for all as for one. Many Promising Youngsters. The New York club tpday has ' a wonderful collection of stars. It is doubtful if a better teamy could be’ picked from all the other seven clubs. In addition there are a number of . ! very promising youngsters coming up for trial next spring, headed by Ross Young, an outfielder of brilliant prom< ise. If McGraw can retain but eigh- teen players, therefore, he must sacri- fice half a dozen or so that will ben- efit opposing teams and make his sea- son’s work a more serious problem. ! Inwardly for many years he has felt legislation toward player ‘economy W&, direct connivance of the enemy rivajg’ toward landing cheaply from New ° York playing talent of worth. The New York club cannot hop: single-handed, to prevent a paring the roster limit. The other National league club presidents seem set on thigs means toward economy. And frogt hints that Ban Johnson has dropped it would appear the American leaghe will trail right along with the notion. McGraw is /'smart enough to rea- lize the fact, and, if he possesses that generalship attributed to him, doul e , lees came to town to do the best poset | sible toward turning a possible re- verse into the very best account. Th¢ avenue for this saving grace lies in the | best atsposition of surplus talent. If the National league adopts the elghteen-player roster it is a moral certainty the Giants will be found on the bargain counter with both feet be. fore next week’'s meeting breaks up,” ‘What the club most needs, irrespective of the eligible list, is two or three good right handed pitchers. Thess may be had at a price, of course. New York has the price in surplus talent if the club has to be chopped to eigh- teen.
