Yale's schedule this year, is, deci In - | feraon October 28, had to come back on Saturday with Colgate in an- {othy: hard zame. Yale cannot ease up at all, for Brown must be tackled in the Bowl next Saturday, with the | Princeton games scheduled a week later. hen comes the big _combat with Harvard on Noyember 25. It is probable, therefore, that Yale will eliminate either Colgate or Washing- ton and Jefferson. from . next year's schedule. ~ The New Haven football wuthorities will take this matter up coon as the season ends. They will be influenced by personal feel- on not !irys inasmuch as Colgate and the W. land J. team have played clean foot- ball in the games with Yale that have passed into gridiron history. The fact that Harvard and Princeton have not been overexerted this fall and prokably will condition, has Haven mentors necessary. BASEBALL_ FRATERNITY TO DEMAND “INJURY ‘CLAUSE” Statement Made Public by President David L. Pultz. convinced the New that a change is New York, Nov. 6.—That the Base- ball Players Fraternity is determined to carry its demand for a revision of the “injury clause” in certain of the players’ contracts to a finish, is indi- cated in a statement made public to- day by President David L. Pultz of the fraternity. The statement, in part, is as follows: “Mr. Johnson is reported to have }said in a recent interview -that the i fraternity petition accused certain . American League clubs of suspending njured players without pay. Kither ! Mr. Johnson has been misquoted or : he is evading the issue. We made no such accusation. In our brief we stated that certain contracts gave the | owners the right to so misuse players | if they saw fit and asked that such | clause be removed. “Mr. Johnston made a somewhat heated demnial of the supposed accusa- tion and said he had demanded of us the names of players so suspended. He has made no such demand. Mr. Her- mann, however, did wire for copies of contracts containing the original clause which is an entirely different request. We replied that contracts could not be forwarded without con- sent of the players, but that Ir. John- ston would find the provision in Sec- tion 4 of some of the Washington and New York contracts.

Harvard’s real strength probably will come when the Princeton Tigers line up at Cambridge next Saturday. Percy Haughton, it is believed, will find the Jerseymen much _stronger than Cornell. ~Since their defeat by Harvard the Ithacans have proved the assertion that they do not compare favorably with last = year's Cornell eleven. In New Haven the impression prevails that Harvard is a trifle, over- rated and that the Tigers will display a vast improvement over their per- formance against Dartmouth. Prince- ton usually plays better football in the struggle with Harvard than with Yale. The Tigers, when they defcated Dart- mouth, were far behind their best form were slow on their feet and ed to be puzzled by ordinary plays. But there is no doubt that they have been steadily improving. Prince- ton has a powerful rush line, which should thoroughly test the prowess of Harvard’s backfield men. The Tigers also'boast of one of the cleverest punt- ers in Eddie Druggs. They also have a dangerous field goal kicker in Dave Tibbott, but whether the Tigers,, in rushing the ball, can make headway against Harvard’s defense remains tp be seen. At any rate, Harvard will not be able to play an easy game. HARVARD LOOKS GOOD THIS YEAR. Haughton System Still-~ Reigns~ in Football, In three weeks the feverish footkall season will be practical over for the selecting of the All-Amer] team and the lamentations over im pending graduations. At thi looks like a decidedly ticket at Cambridge Preparedness. untimely graduation of Mahan—un- timely from the point of view of the football enthusiast—has subsided since point it Crimson year. Harvard has shown that the straight is Pee Dee and The mourning over the gate “eleven does not consider Yale a strong team. Commenting on Yale's play ageinst Colgate he say: “This year's Yale team is not such a wonderful eleven. In fact, it is not as good an eleven as that of two years ago, which defeated Colgate by. @ ciosc score. My team hall the Elis on the run throughout the game, and had Gillo, the big fullback been in good physical condition, 1 believe we would have won. Gillo played with a bad knee and hobblea around while he was in harness. “Had Colgate a back of the type of Casey of Hs is to sidestep and dodge with amazing skill, we would have had a touchdown. The Yale line is not very. aggressive and only Capt. Black and Galt, the latter, while he was in there, played low. - Our backs slid through the line in freat style, and it was sur- prising how easily their attack was stopped. LeGore is the star man, but ho has not the team mates to work with that he had two years ago. LeGore punted better than he did the weelk before, and while Yale is point- ing toward Princeton and Harvard, the iatter more so than the Princeton game, much trouble may be expected trom Brown next Saturday.” Bankart has during_ his several years at Colgate given Yale a lot of trouble - twice beating the Blue and two other times losing by close scores. THORPE GREAT FOOTBALL PLAY. ER. Mahan Thinks He Stands in a Class Alone. “I have often smiled in silence when football enthusiasts grew warm de- bating who was the greatest player of them all,” says Eddie Mahan, of Har- rard and California_coach. “That pos- sibly is the one point in the realm of football coaches never atscuss. They know. Name, Jim Thorpe, Indian. “The big chief stands alone, in a class by himself, and will for a long time, 1 expas! No country 1s provi- dent in Thorpes. “Probally the most _extraordinary game ever played was Thorpe versus Harvard. One man beat eleven. One often sees that superlative statement in orint regarding some player's per- formance. But on this occasion it is not football fiction. Thorpe kicked four goals from varying distances and at divers angles. He made most of the crucial tackles, and repeatedly smashed ‘through tie line like a bat- tering ram. “Perhaps his run agalnst Pennsyl- was the most thrilling incident in the great Indian’s career on the gridiron. It w at least eighty yards; every man on the Penn @even had his hands on him, yet Thorpe got by giv- ing the straight arm or shaking them off with a shrug of muscles as some mighty lion would jackals. He went over the line in solitary grandeur, up- right, a veritable conqueror of a stricken football field. “If they ever fashion a football frieze of the heroes of the game for some great athletic stadium, the grim, not unnoble features of Jim Thorpe, abroginal American, will be the first carved.” SUPERBAS MAY BE WRECKED NEXT YEAR.

These threc games promise to attract over 150,000 spectators. Small wonder that some are amazed into a state of worriment over the growth of the intercollegiate football game. Of course, some things may occur to stop the splash of Crimson, hut they have not been revealed to date. The football material may come and go at Cambridge, but it begins to look as though that Haughton system might go on forever. N YALE WEAK. Colgate Coach Says Team is Inferior to That of Two Seasons Ago. Coach Laurie Bankart of the Col- a sporting the Chicago Cubs all fell before the superior class of the American league. It wasn't the defeats that hurt, but the ridiculous ease with which they were accomplisned. The National league has been de- clining in health for several years. Its strength has been failing while that of its rival has grown more potent and unless there is some stimulation in- jected the American league will be- come 8o powerful that it will be in a position to refuse to recognize the National league as worthy of asso- ciation. Here is a championship outfit in this town so palpably weak in spots that it's 29 to 1 that several new faces will be looked upon next season.

Cadet Elmer Quillen Oliphant is one example at ieast of preparedness in the United States army. Here is a soldier who is prepared for anything— anything in the athletic line, at least. Oliphant is just now. the center of cal- cium on the West Point football flel He is not only the best of the Army’ pigskin performers, but is rated as one of the best haifbacks playing football today. Although football is if. chief inter- est just now, it is by no means the limit of Oliphant’s abilities. In fact, footbail is just one of his accomplish- ments. Oliphant is the only four-A man_jn West Point history. This means that he is the only man who ever won his letter in four different branches of athletics. Oliphant can wear four jerseys with the initial A on them at the same time, if he should care to. Baseball, track, basketball and football are the sports in which he has excelled to an. alphabetic de- gree. And he won them 2ll in the short epace of a year and a half. There is only ~one other sport in which Oliphant can possibly obtain another letter while at the academy. It is in hockey. And as Elmer is a speedy skater—who knows? Oliphant is the catcher of the Army baseball team. Sammy Strang, the famous coach of the cadets, says that the doughty Hoosier could make the big leagues if he decided to take up the game professionally. He was the battery mate of Bob = Neyland, the Army pitcher, who won 20 straight games for Uncle Sam. Oliphant holds several track records at the academy. His best showings in miscellaneous events are as follows: Pole vault, 11 feet 6 inches: quarter mile, 51 seconds; half mile, 2.02: mile, 4.31; 220 yard hurdles, 25 seconds; and broad jump, 21 feet 4 inches. In addition to starring on the foot- ball, baseball. and basketball teams, this remarkable athlete hac fought his way into-the finals of the heavyweight boxing class on two different occa- sions. Oliphant is the son of Marion E. Oliphant_of Druceville, Ind. HE& was born in Bloomfleld, in the same state, 23 years ago. All during his life the Hoosier boy excelled in all forms of athletics. He became famous at Pur- due university before coming to West Point. At one time or other he has captained the football, baseball, bas- ketball, indoor pushball and tug of war teams of that school. Oliphant is a great believer in a regular code of living and moral con- duct. In his high school days he was president of a Bible class, and at the present time is secretary of the Sun- day school at West Point. HEAV YHITTING FEATURED 1916 BASEBALL SEASON Run Scoring and Base Stealing Figure Prominently in Statistics of Year. The baseball season of 1916, notable for the number of unusual features in major league pennant play, developed a number of games. in which heavy hitting, run scoring and base stealing were prominent features. A careful scrutiny of the box scores for the en- tire period discloses a cluster of odd records that might also be termed freaks of big league baseball play. The American league statistics show that during the eeason every club in the organization fizured in at least one game in which the times at bat num- bered more than 40: runs equalled or exceeded 10; hits 15 awd stolen bases 5. In the National league the highest at bats ranged from 49 to 62; runs, 10 need have no fears. crowned or extracted .

The New York Americans made the greatest number of runs in any one game, accumulating 19, while Boston and Detroit were tied for sec- ond place in this respect with 17. The Chicago White Sox won first place in hitting_with 20, whiie the Detroit and New York clubs divided second hon- ors with 19. Boston, Cleveland, Wash- ington and Philadelphia all hammered out 17 hits in at least one game dur- ing the pennant race. In stolen bases the New York Americans were also leaders, pilfering 9 in one contest, while St. Louis apd Detroit were tied for second place with 8 each. In the- National lcague the Chicago Cubs took first place in times at bat in one game with 62. Pittsburgh was second with 61, and Brooklyn third with 8. New York and Brooklyn were tied in the greatest number of runs, each scoring 13, and it is of interest to note that the Giants' record score in this respect was made against Pittsburgh in the opening game of the string of 17 victories which the club piled up early in the season and pre- vious ‘to its record breaking run of 26 games. Cincirnati was next with 12 runs. In hitting, St. Lbuis came first with 23 safe_drives, Brooklyn second with 21 and New York and Cincinnati tied for third with 19. St. Louis easily led the National league in the number of stolen bases in any one same, hav- ing collected 11, while New York and Brooklyn qualified for second place with 7 each, Boston and Pittsburgh being third with 6.

If Jess Willard lives up to his de- claration that he will retire within a year, it is highly_probable that he will join the ranks of the undefeated champions. In the heavyweight di- vision these have been very few, and it has been many a long year since an occupant of the premier pugilistic throne got off without being knocked seized with the ambition to climb off. Jeff did it, all right, but he was back into the chair and the subse- quent preceedings robbed him of the right to lay claim to the “undefeated championship” stuff. Admitting that Jess is as good as his word, and quits the biff game. for keeps at the end of 1917, it is difficult to see where he is in any danger of losing his honors. The hero of Havana is a good, clever, hard-hitting boxer and a giant in size. There are other good, clever, hard-hitting boxers, and there are others giants, but they are not combined in the same skin. Gazing back over the: history of the heavyweight division, one finds that Jack Broughton, the first real champion to have worthy rivals for the honor, kept on fighting until he was put to sleep by Jock Slack. The latter held on for ten years and then was whipped ‘by Bill Stevens. Then Nailer and his unworthy successors of the dark ages of pugilism were well. whipped. Tom Johnson the next great English champ, lost his laurels to Ben Brain. The latter held the title unchalenged flor three years, when death caimed him. Daniel Mendoza ,the first Jewish champion, lost to John Jackson, who retired from the ring and never de- fended his title. Jem Belcher, who become champion when a mere boy, retired undefeated when he lost the sight of one eve, but later sought to come back, and was whipped. - Hen Pearce, the Game Chicken, was forced to retire by ilness, and soon died. John Gully, after wnnng the tle, re- fused to defend t and qut the game. To mCrbb was the first man to retre with his honors full upon him. Tom Spring, his successor, also re- tired undefeated. and so did the next champion Jem Ward. Deaf Burke was whipped by Bendigo, Old Bendy was. whipped by Caunt, but recovered the title, and then: ‘quit- while the quitting was good.

Heenan, the American. Sam Hurst was the next champion, and lost to Jem Mace, who whipped the best men in Eng- land and America before advancing years for¢ed him to retire. Of the earsy American champons, both Tom Hyer and John Morrissey rtred undefeated. Heenan also quit the game without having been licked. Jim Dunne retired after his first big bout in which he was the champion- ship, refusing to defend it. Mike McCoole lost the sitle to Tom _allen, who was in turn whipped by Joe Cross. Paddy Ryan then defeated Goss, and was in turn knocked out by John L. Sullivan. Since then every champion of the heavyweight division has kept on fighting until overtaken by defeat. Fred Fulton May Meet Frank Moran. ke Dorgon has practically given up Hope of having Frank Moran meet Fred Fulton at Madison Square Gard- en, and has wired his terms for a ten- round bout with Fulton at St. Paul on Thanksgiving Eve. Harry Sher- man, the man who is promoting the Dillon and Gibbons bout at St. Paul, has sent a message asking for Dor- gan’s lowest terms. With the wire camesa word of advice from Frank Force, Fulton’s manager. He urged Dorga nto accept the match for Mo- ran, as the man would surely draw $25,000. Dorgan said: “There seems to be no er¢ ef the tangle at Madison Square Garden. The Show Corporation is through, in my opinion. They won’t stand for the $1,000 fine imposed by the Boxing Commission in the first place, and in the second, everybody connected with the shebang seems to be running around like a broiler with its head off.” “So why should I keep Francis Charles in mere idleness? All the hard work that he has been doing will go for naught if I don’t throw the old ycke over him pretty soon. We have been waiting on the Garden people all along, expecting surely that we were going to fight Fulton at tha big place. We have been taken in just as Weinert and Fulton were.” SPORTING NOTES. Some practice at Guess they need it. . F. A. this week. Against a team which showed that it has mastered the forward pass bet- ter than any team that has ever ap- peared in_New Haven, the Blue ma- chine on Saturday proved that it was game to the core and finally came out with the big end of a 36 to 14 score after one of the most thrilling con- tests in Yale history. With only about three more scrim- mages before the Harvard game, Princeton’s hardest practice for the year is over. Unless some one is hurt in one of those workouts, the Nassau team will face Harvard with only one varsity man, Eberstadt, unable to play. He is recovering from his injury and may be able to appear against Yale. The Harvard football team came through the Virginia game without serious mishap, and will settle down to work again for Princeton. The régular Tush line showed a lot of pow- er and cohesion while it played against the Virginians, and the first set of backs, Bond, Minot and Hitch- cock, were handled splendidly by Mur- ray, whose stock as quarterback is booming high. The race for the football champion- ship of the south has narrowed to three teams, Auburn, Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech. This was brought about by one of the greatest surprises of the season when Ducote, who never had been credited with great kicking abil- ity, booted tne ball over the goal posts for the score that eliminated Georgia and kept Auburn in the fight. Vander- ilt plays Auburn Nov. 18, and should the Plainsmen win the game between Auburn and Georgia Tech Thanksgiv- ing day may decide the championship. CASTORIA For Infants and Children .
