Harris Elected Captain for Next Season. Philadelphia, Dec. 3.—Dissatisfaction with the coaching of the Univereity of Permsylvania football team, about which there have ~been . whisperings during the season just closed, found practical expression today when 19 of the 21 varsity players who met to élect ‘a new captain voted against the retention-of ‘George H. Brooke as the coach for the 1916 campaign. - The vote was a secret one and -was taken after Edward Day Harris of Philadeiphia had been- elected captain for . next year. The action of the players cre- ated a sensation in football circles. Brooke has had complete charge of the téam for two years, and his con- tract with the athietic association has andther year to run. When he wa informed of the action of the players, Brooke - intimated that he would not resign his position and that he expect- ed to make a better showing next year. The players who -voted against the retention of Brooke, it is declared, ‘blame his system of coaching for the failure of the team to make a better showing during the last two years. In 1813 Pennsylvania’ lost to Dartmouth, Michigan and Cornell, and this year the team was defeated by Franklin and Marshall, Michigan, Dartmouth and Cormell, the latter winning two games in succession for the first time in the history of football competition between the two . colleges, while Dartmonth’ score of 41 to 0 was the largest regis- tered against'a Pennsqlvania team in more. than 22 years.

The decision of the exchange to Issue daily in what effect amounts to an official list of transactions in_stocke also served to stimulate confidence. Several active stocks were added to ‘the already large list of securitles which were in demand at prices. well above the minimum. Accepting the new high price record- ed by the New York City 6s as a cri- terion, there was an increased inquiry for aimost all classes of ehort’term notes. The 35,000,000 Swedish, govern- ment loan taken by a powerful finan- cial syndicate gave every’ promise of Success, an attractive feature being the high interest yield. There were many rumors of further loans by our bankers to_foreign governments, but these lacked confirmation. . Money for the shorter dates was ob- tainable at lower rates and call loans went down to 3 1-2 per cent. The lo- cal flow of money indicated that clear- ifiE house institutions have lost a con- siderable sum to the sub-treasury, owing largely to the heavy t of special revenue taxes and further retirement of emergency currency.

On the contrary, there is good reason to conclude that football has encouraged and has as- sisted recruiting. In these circum- stances, this meeting recommends that cept as regards international matches it is not right that football should be_suspended. *This meeting is of the opinion that to deprive the working people of our country of thelr Saturday afternoon’s Tecreation would be unfair and very mischevious.” The international football matches are the great sporting events of the year in the United Kingdom. They draw upwards of 100,000 spectators, who travel long distances to witness the contests. COE FAVORITE STROKE OAR IN YALE BOAT. Has Shown Good Ability to Hit Up Stroke—Yale Will Have Two Races T Season. Meyer, who was stroke of the fresh- man eight last spring, and Coe are the favorites in the race for stroke oar of the Yale varsity eight. Coe's work this fall has been exceptionally prom- ising. Although formerly a member of the waist of the shell, he has shown aptitude in ability to hit up the stroke as well as to preserve its harmony and is clearly in the lead as permanent choice as a result of the fall campaign, He prepared for Yale at the Groton school, where he had two years' ex- perlence in schvol' rowing. Meyer, who stroked the freshman crew and who is probably Coe’s closest " rival for the varsity honor this season, prepared at the St. Paul school, and ‘the historic rivalry between the two schools is in evidence in the competition for the Yale varsity stroke oar seat. Coe is exactly the physical type of an oarsman which Nickalls, himself a glant athlete, who, stroked England's most famous crews, is seeking. He weighs 175 pounds and will be the heaviest stroke Yale has had in sev- eral seasons, if he wins the competi- ton. Jack 'Appleton, last season’s stroke, weighed only 165, and Gilfillan weighs only 159. Meyer weighs 161. Edward Noel Harriman, son of the late Edward H. Harriman, who rowed next to Coe in the freshman eight last year, has been on the Yale varsity squad all the fall and is regarded as a likely winner of a seat in the varsity shell in the spring. He weighs 165 pounds and, like Coe, prepared for Yale at Groton. William Avery Rockefeller, son of William Rocketeller of Greenwich, has Dbeen in the Yale freshman crew all the fall and gives promise of making the eight that races Harvard, 1918, mext June. Of the Yale varsity oarsmen of last spring who are now in_ college, Jim Sheldon, Fred Stillman, M. M. Whittle- sey and F. W. Oakes were on the foot- ball eleven the past season and have not been available for any of the fall practice, All will begin winter rowing When the squad reports. J. B. Fitzpatrick, who was ill last year, will be in the shell during the coming season. He was regarded as the strongest oarsman in college and his absence from the shell was a keen disappointment 'to Nickalls. Yale will have two races the coming season, one the usual regatta with Harvard. Whether the other will be 2 two mile event with Penneylvania or against - Princeton and Cornell is not certaln. WILL DEVELOP YOUNGER PLAYERS. Veterans Will Find It Hard to Obtain Contracts With Federals- In re-establishing a major league scale of prices the Federals have made known their intention to fight -organ- 1zed baseball on the original lines. It has been leared that during the meet- % |ing in Chicago Saturday promoters of the Federal league adopted a system of rebuilding that will make it possible for the Feds'to develop young players. Veteran big leaguers will not find it easy to get long term contracts from the Feds. Eddie Plank has been of- fered a one year contract with the St. Louis Feds at a salary in excess of any he has ever received for a single sea- son with the Athletics, but uniess an opening for Plank is made by some club in need of a manager the left- hander will not be signed for & long rm. / The number of vetéran players with contracts of more than two Seasons has been stated by a Federal league agent to be comparatively small. “It will-be pdssible to cut down to twenty players' without violating any personal agreements entered into with men who left organized baseball” he explained. “The fact that the Federals were de- veloping many high class players last season was overlooked by the fans be- cause of the attention given men who had jumped from the older leagues. ‘The American league attracted -sup- porters because of the new faces shown, and the fact that the National held on to veteran talent long after the Dlayers had ceased to be drawing cards.” James A. Gilmore, president of the Federal league, has urged club presi- dents to announce as soon as ible | first battle ed in | the names of all ordor T gl cont ; under contract chell while in the Forest City. . was a product of Sgn Antonio.

He was sent to Kansas City_from the Browns in exchange for Qutfielder Clarence Walker.

He was sent to Providence more to help the Grays however, than for _more s The Browns have resurrected Miller, & former chattel who had drifted_to Burlington, la. v In‘ desperation: to crawl out of the cellar Cleveland will take a chance with George Kaler, Lefty James Jo® Billings and Jack Knight. The Naps have a'so recruited Rex Devogt, who falled to make good with the Braves. Hugh Jennings, leased with the suc- cess of Coveleskie as a comeback has purchased several plavers he sent to the International and Southern leagues. Rondeau who once _served as ‘a catcher for Hugh goes back to Washington as an outfield candidate. He was one of the stars of the Amer- ican association the past season. An- other association outfieldsr who has been promoted is Wade Killifer, a De- troit utility player when Jennings was winning all the American league pen- nants. ~ Killifer at_that time was a second baseman. _Since then he tried the outfleld with better success. He is now a member of the Cincinnati Reds. The Cubs have rescued two former big leaguers from the sticks—Adams' of Indianapolis —and McConnell of Buffalo. McConnell had two trials with the New York Americans, first with George Stallings back in 1909 again under Frank Chence in 1918 Adams is a castoff of the Browns. One of the players netted by draft is OQutfielder Lee, who fell into the maw of Connie Mack. He was with Trenton of the Tri-State league in 1914. In 92 games he batted .320 and stole 27 bases. Clark Grifith had this player in Washington last spring. but gave him his unconditional re- lease. The New York American league culb is about the only one which failed to snare some Sort of comeback. This circumstance was doubtless due to Frank Farrell's managerial troubles precipitated toward the end of the season. After Frank Chance quit the club there was no ons_ of experience to advise deals and The New York president depended solely upon the draft for recruiting purposes. 1In this hs had his customary luck; he failed to draw-a winning ticket. HOPE OF WHITE RACE. Jess Willard Only Prominent Hope to Meet Jack Johnson. The heavywelght class_will indeed be in a sad state if Jess Willard fails to humble Jack Johnson when they meet, in the spring. Willard is the last of the white hopes. If he is elim- inated there will be nothing to do but sit back and wait until some hitherto unknown boxer appears and has had time to gain the necessary experience, By that time Johnson may be forced out by old age and so escape meeting his finish in the ring. However, if Willard is the last, he also appears to be the best of the lot. Beginning with Carl Morris, the orig- inal hope, none of those who followed him has looked so prorfising as the big Kansan. In fact, Willard is the first of the whites to be given even an out- side chance of avensging Reno. Taking them in order of appearanse, there was Morris, big and game, but with nothing else to recommend him. He owed his vogue to the fact that he was a giant. It was thought that only a man of unusual size would have a chance with Johnson. One glance at his unathletic build should have been enough to convince anyone that he ‘would never do, but it took some time and many beatings before his follow- ers lost faith. About the time that Morris held sway Jim Stewart, the Brooklyn heavywelght, was quite prominent. Stewart had size enough and was ra- ther clever, but he had a glass jaw. Weak eyesight also contributed to his downfall, B Next came' Al Palzer, another giant. He had great strength and ferocity, but no headwork. Palzer might have gone far on his aggressiveness and lack of training put an early end to his ca- reer as a hope. _ Luther McCarty was the mext to jump to the front. MeCarty had no particular weakness and no good quality that stood out. He averaged fairly well, but on the whole was merely a Commonplace performer. He owed his position to the fact that the others were so poor. Arthur Pelky, who was the catse of McCarty’s untimely end, never did figure. ~The unfortunate accident that caused McCarty's death brought Pelky considerable notoriety, of which he was not slow to take advantage, but he never gave the least sign of any ability in the fighting line. Gunboat Smith the lightest of all the hopes now biighted. When in his best form Smith was & spectacu- Iar fighter. With his arching swings and vigorous attack he waded through a long array of third ‘raters whose lack of defense permitted Gunboat to land his crude wailops. But Smith found his level as soon as he encoun- = a boxer who knew @ jab from an uppercCt. As a prospective opponent for Johnsda he was never taken seri- ously. Frank Moran, who gro\'ed a mark for the black champion last summer, never led the procession at any stage. He was Johnson's own selection and was forced down the sporting public’'s throat. This leaves Willard as the only prominent white account for. 8o far as his past formances go, Wil- lard can point to nothing that distin- guishes him from the others who pre- ceded him. But Willard is the biggest of the lot, and the hardest hitter. So %firxt‘u is known, he has never been The ability to give and fake are the main factors {n a finish Aght such as the promoters have in view. In both branches Willard appears to be excep- tionally. well equipped. This leaves Johnson with his superior boxing skill as his only advantage.

The war is on at Princeton- The popular issurrection against the Princeton football coaching eystem, which has sputtered for a few days and then died annually at the close of each unsuccessmyl season since 1911, has made its appearance again and is assuming commanding _proportions. The demand is for a permanent and independent football coach for the Tigers to replace the committee su- pervision that has proved so ineffect- ual for the last few years. Comes to Head. The distastrous Harvard game of a little more than a week ago and the Yale defeat last Saturday have brought matters to a head; for the last period of Saturday's game, when the Tigers showed their only finish of the power there was in them, proved beyond a doubt that the fault was not in the team's but lay in the lack of the per- sonality of a coach who knew his men and his own mind. Not in the last 18 years has a Princeton team given its advocates the supreme delight of seeing Yale back and keep backing without re- spite for 122 yards and two touch- downs before nothing but the sim- Dlest of straight football plays. It was a triumph of desperate spirit and players’ judgment over consevative training and timid coaches; but pride in 2 fighting spirit that knows no death only aggravates the discortent with the methods used to utilize that spirit. The season of 1914 has ended in disappointment for Princeton, but its fallure may even prove to be a benefit to the Tigers by forcing an early set- tlement of the problem of coshing. There is no personal resentment in the anti-committee agitation. - Many be- lieve that Pennefield unensumbered by an overruling committee would have been more successful than he Wwas as a mere foreman in the execu- tion of plans that did not always meet with his whole-souled approval. Kept Uncertain. The team as a unit, and as individ- uals, was kept uncertain and wavering by the changing opinions of the va- rious coaches. The backfield combina- tion was not satisfactorily settled at any time during the season. Injuries apd the super-abundance of material of nearly equal powers is given as the excuse in defence of the coaches not knowing their own team, for no one attempts to claim that- the coaches did know how to arrange their men, even for the last game of the season. The team that lost to both Harvard and Yale was nothing more or less than an aggregation of individual player well above the average as players, but utterly lacking the pro- Der equipment or inspiration for an effective machine. F An example of seemingly unneces- sary and particularly costly eleventh hour change was the attempt to teach Driggs a new method of punting just three days before the Harvard game. Its result might at least have been feared by a far-sighted coach:; but, whether it was or not, it succeeded in undoing the work of weeks of prac- tice in punting and cut down the av- erage distance of Princeton punts by many a vaiuable yard. . 3 The heaviest indictment of the coaches of the season just closed is the last period of the Yale - game, which redeemed Captain Ballin’s team from utter disgrace. It is not gener- ally known, but it is well established, that Glick defled the coaches in his programme of the'plays that he chose. He rejected all side line generalship and took matters into his own hands, with the result that will not be for- gotten as long as examples of in- dominatable spirit are remembered- Fitzpatrick Steps In. A further indictment of the same coaches lies in the fact that it was only on the special intercession of Keene Fitzpatrick, the Princeton that Glick and Moore, the men who scored Princeton's two touchdowns aginst Yale, were allowed to enter the game in that last period. The men had pleaded in vain to be sent in until Fitzpatrick showed his knowledge of thels character, by. intercediug. - for them. ‘What Princeton men want, and will |’ have sooner or later, is a permanent coach with & strong personality who can profit by the mistakes of his earlier yvears, and will at least have the courage to try his team on a real offence without returning timidly to the old kicking game. He must also learn to know his men thoroughly, for that is the chiew method used with -nh-:n hu‘r:cymfin( succes byngul Clark, who put Prigceton on the baseball map. The annual changes in the com- mittee system prevent such acquaint- ance and experience. # Princeton would have to look far for a man wha got a splendid start as permanent coach and would know Princeton athletics and men from the botom up. Keene Fitzpatrick cal trainer of Princeton athletes for several years, has been suggested, and agitation favors him with Tom Wil- son, guard on the 1911 championship team as his first t.

Reported That Government Will Try to Get Him From Mexico or Cuba. 1f the proposed fight between Jack Johnson and. ‘Jess” . Willard _ever comes to the stage of being an actual even it is considered probable that the United States authorities will have a surprise in store for the negro pugilist when he _sets foot in the United States. Johnson is now a fugitive from justice, a_conviction under the Menn “White Slave” act having been found against him in-Chicago. He jumped his ball and fled to Europe and ever since then the department of justice has taken a lively interest in the pugilist. It is now learned om suthoritive irformation that an ef- fort will be made to get him to the United States in_case he sets foot in either Cuba or Mexico, even though the government has to resort to a near approach at kidnapping. There is no possibility that there can be extradition from either ~of the countries but it is understood that the United States authorities will at- tempt to arrange with Cuba and Mex- ico some way in which to bring John- son here to answer to his cenviction, and the governments of the two coun- tries are not expected to offer any material opposition. “Jack” _Curley, the promotor of the Gotch-Hacken- schmidt wrestling bout, is promoting the present venture and he has an- nounced that the principals have sign- ed articles to fight in Mexico, probably at Jurarez, some time in January or February. This point is not a sreat way from the boundary liZe be- tween Mexico and the United States, and sporting men are inclined to think the negro would be very close to trouble if the fight should take place there, even theugh Curley says that Mexico has assured protection. There are those, however, who Delieve Mex- ico to be a blind, and that the plans for the actual fight call for its taking place somewhcy2-in Cuba.
