According to the latest report Yale's alumni army has started a drive to- ward Ithaca, for tke purpose of cap- turing Dr. Al Sharpe, a Yale graduate who has brought the football supre- macy of the east to Cornell this sea- son. It is understood a committee is It is Negotations already in nesotiation with Dr. Sharpe. Yale leaders who sounded Sharpe were discouraged when he told them he had signed a new con- tract- to coach Cornell teams in foot- ball, basketball and baseball and that it did not expire until June 1920. However they refused to accept this: as defeat. A number of representative Yale leaders will send a communica- tion to the Cornell Alumni associa- tion asking that it release Dr. Sharpe from the long term contract because he is a Yale graduate and Yale wants to call him to the colors. Among Yale men it is generally un- derstood that Sharpe’s contract con- tains a' clause in which it is stiplat- ed that the coach may break the agreement by giving notice at a cer- tain period in advance. Some say this period is a year. It is also. understood that Sharpe is so very well .iked and has been so successful at Ithaca that he may not listen to a Yale call w'th any enthus- iasm. Some of his friends are asking why he should be expected to come to ew Haven and assume the big load he would have to if he took charge of Yale football. Nothing official will be done at Yale about head coach until after the De- cember 1 meeting of the athlgtic heads at least. A. A. U. POSTPONES KIVIAT-SMITH CASE. Appeal for Reinstatement— To Meet Jan. 3. Athletes New York, Nov. 28.—The special committee” of the Amateur Athletic union hearing the appeal of Abel R. Kiviat and Harry J. Smith, New York runners, for reinstatement to their former amateur standing, adjourned after a brief session today until Jan. 3d, when both sides will submit briefs and a decision will be given. Kiviat of the Irish-American A. C. and Smith of the Bronx Church House Athletic club were declared ineligible some weeks ago after having been found guilty by the Metropolitan asso- clation of the A. A. U. of having ds manded excessive expenses for partici- pation in games at Schenectady, N. Y., last September. YALE ANNOUNCES g HOCKEY SCHEDULE. Season Opens Jan. 12 With the Mass.

The fast Cubs, which made such a name for themseives in the basketball games last year, are out to challenge all 130 poynd teams around these parts. They are arranging the season's ched- ule and would like to hear from any team of their calibre. The Cubs would like a game for Saturday night, Dec. 4, and would like to hear from the Greeneville team or the Taftville Hunt- ers for that date. The boys represent- ing the 1915-16 Cubs will be Counihan, Stanley, Shannon, Poole, Corey, Pierce and Henault (sub.). All teams wishing games, 'phone Y. M. C. A. or answer through this paper. Yale Here Saturday. The game Saturday between the Yale soccer footbail club and a picked team from the Bastern Connecticut league is creating much interest, and the chances are that the Academy campus Satur- %wm be the scene of a hard fought ‘win The Academy ‘meet the early of this week to elect a captain for the 1916 eleven. unanimous choices, but in other posi- tions half a dozen candidates are put forward, all having excellent claim for consideration. High class backfield material was abundant as well as heavy, powerful men for the center of the line, but there was a scarcity of brilliant ends and quarterbacks. Soucy, Harvard; Lamberton, Princeton; Higgins, Penn Sheiton, Corneli, and Stewart of Colgate all have their backers for -the wing tip positions. At tackle, Gilman of Harvard is the popular choice, with Abell of Colgate, Schultz of Washing- ton and Lee, Farnam of Nash of Rutgers and McAulifte ommum n the running. For guards, Spear of Dartmouth, White and Schiachter of Syracuse, Hogg of Princeton and Black of Yale are the leading candidates. At center, Peck, Pittsburgh, is the player most 'frequently mentioned, although Cool, Cornell; Gennert, Princeton, and McEwan, Army, are also the recipients of votes. For the backfleld, Barrett of Cornell Is the logical quarterback, while Ma- han, Harvard, leads in the race for tullback. There is not the same unani- mous opinion regarding the two half- backs. Hastings, Pittsburgh; Wilkin- ®on, Syracuse: Oliphant, Army; King, Harvard; Tolman, Rutgere; Berryman, Penn State;. R Syracuse; Scovil, Yale; Glllo, Colgate, and many others are offered as suitable material. While all those who have prepared all-eastern teams have not been heard from, the consensus to date shows the following vlayers in the lead: Ends—Soucy, Harvard, anu Higgins, Penn Stat Tackles Gilman, Harvard, and Abell, Colgate.

No account is taken of the Rocky mountain and Pa- cific coast players, although at least one of them, Herman Abraham, of the Oregon Aggies, made a remarkable showing against the Michigan Aggies, one of the best teams in the district covered.

Football claimed 16 lives during the 1915 season, which came to a close Saturday. Last year the toll was one less. Not a single death was recorded in any game in which the players were known to be trained physically as well as mentally for severe test. In most of the cases those who lost their lives were members of high school, semi-pro, and prairie elevens, where' there is little or no system of physical training. In this years toll four players were 15 years of age or under, one being only 11 years old. Four of them were only 17 years old, while the others ranged to 21 years. Only three had college affliations, and in one Of these cases it was said that an unnecessary tackle killed the play- er. Defeated Navy Returns. Annapolis, Md., Nov. 28—The Navy football squad returned from New York at 5 o'clock this afternoon. They were given a demonstration reception at the railroad station by the regi- ment of midshipmen who had arrived a short time before. None of the -Navy team was seriously hurt in the game, | although Captain Miles, Orr, Ward and Gilman were badly bruised. Newsies Win. The Newsies defeated the Prestons by a score of § to 3.

Cadets Score 2 Teuchdowns—44,000 Witnessed the Game. The Army football eleven, showing a better state of preparedness than the Navy team, triumphed over their Annapolis rivals at New York Satur- day by a score of 14 to 0. Twice dur- ing the 60 minute battle between the competing _academies the soldiers hurled a_ 42-centimeter shell, in the person of Elmer Q. Oliphant, through the protective armor of the sailors' battleship and in the gray dusk of a drizzling _afternoon the midshipmen craft sank wjith every gun working desperately but futilely against the superior equipment of the Army. Although the Middy team fought with unflinching courage from the opening shot until the Naval academy vennant sank from sight, the struggle availed it nothing against the over- whelming power of the Cadets' at- tack. Time and again the West Point- ers plerced the first and second lines of defense, until the Navy was ex- hausted by its efforts to hold the Sol- diers in check. Had Oliphant been wounded in the opening minutes of the conflict, the ‘midshipmen might have had a chance, but the football battering ram from the middle west refused to heed the savage tackling that halted his mad rushes. Through the line and around the ends he crashed or sprinted, hurl- ing off tackler after tackler, until the Middies found that it required the entire_cleven to stop him at times. Since ‘it was not always possible to concentrate the whole squad in his flying path, his gains constituted about 0 per cent. of the distance covered by the Army charges. President Wilson and bther spectators watched the baitle. forgetting in their enthusiasm, the clammy, gray mist and the drizzle of rain which marred an otherwise per- tect gridiron classic. The improvised gridifon was surrounded by permanent and temporary stands which housed, for a few hours, a distinguished host of government, army and navy officers as well as prominent society represen- tatives from almost every city in the country. In the midst of the gaily colored throng two spots of unusually brilliant hues stood out where the battalions from the academies were quartered in the side line stands. From these points of vantage the cadets and the middies hurled sonss and_cheers across the fleld, led by the blare of the rival institutions’ bands. The vocal uproar was both terrific and sustained. From the minute the two elevens went into action the sound waves rolied to midfield, where they crashed over the heads of the steam- ing. strugsling plavers, who fought on apparently oblivious of the tornado of noise. The break of the game came almost Immediately after the kick-off and it was the West Point team that profited «nereby. Following the opening olay there was an exchange of punts in- terspersed with a few drives at the line, but ncither team appeared to have a marked advantage until Craig muffed a high twisting kick from the toe of- the Army fullback, Coffin. Right End Neyland was following the ball and_when Crais dropped the pigskin, he dived through the mud and clutch- ed the spheroid on the Navy’s 10-yard line. Coffin and Ford both hurled themselves into the middies’ line, only to be repulsed without gain. Then Quarterback Gerhardt uncovered his masked battery and fired Oliphant into the Sailors’ left side of the scrimmage line. The former Purdue university star ripped everything out of his course and slid across the goal line with three middies clinging to his legs. To complete the task he kicked the goal and the Navy football craft began to founder. The lineup: ARMY Redfield some 44,000 NAVY VonHeimberg ‘Ward Left Tackle. Loy Kercher Left Guard.
