The Pennsylvania tee met Wednesday Athletic Association lin Field and after sion refused to divulge what football commit- afternoon in the offices at Frank- a two-hour ses- had taken place. Before the meeting it was rumored, , however, that “Bob” Folwell wouldibe offered a two-year contract. After the meeting Mana- ger Lovett stated that the present footbali committee would not appoint the coach, but that the new commit- tee which will be elected within the next weejc by the undergraduates at the University will attend to this mat- ter. None of the members of the com- mittee Wwould express himself in re- gard to the coaching question or the schedule, other than saying that the schedule was not as yet complete ow- ing to the fact thai they were stiil awalting answers from several col- leges in regard to the dates the games were to be played.

Fast Game Played by Windham Boys —Lamoureaux and Reade Stars. (Special to The Bulletin.) Windham High met Putnam Trade school in the high school gymnasium at Willimantic Wednesday afternoon and defeated them 41-4. The game was the best yet, especially the last half. The game started at 4.55 and finished at 5.40, the last half being cut down five minutes so the Putnam team could catch the 6 o'clock train to Putnara. The lineup was as follows: Windham. Putnam.

STOCKS UNDER PRESSURE in the Lowest Levels Were Touched Final Hour. New York, Dec. 20.—Liquidation far more active and comprehensive than any previously experienced in connec- tion with the current decline provo ed additional substantial recessions to- day, war shares and affiliated issues registering extreme losses of 5 to 15 points. Lowest levels were touched in the frenzied seling of the final hour, with virtually no recoveries from the minimum quotations. Pressure came from various direc- tions, financial institutions calling loans and exercising greater diseri nation aganst speciaities; brokers call- ng upon customers to bolster specu- lative accounts and professional trad- ers pursuing their recent advantage, seemingly without hindrance. Bethlehem Steel was the most spec- tacular feature, falling 72 points to 500 on a few sales and a loss of 200 points from its record quotation of a month “%Shipping shares ranked next in point of weakness, being freely sold from the outset on the intimations conveved from abroad that the Britsh govern- ment intends to take over control of British shipping. Mercantile Marine preferred made a gross decline of 16 points, with 7 for the common shares. Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies, Amer- ican-owned, fell 15 points. United States Steel offered less re- sistance than at any time since the downward movement became effective, falling 4 1-8 to 107 7-8. Crucible and Lackawanna Steels and all the sec- ondary munitions and equipments suf- fered losses of 3 to 6 points. Coppers and metals as a whole were heavy to weak, their reversal being ac- companied by trade.reports of price concessions. Utah Copper led fhis group at a gross decline of 5 3-4.

John J. 'McGraw, manager of the New York Glants, is once more angling for Arthur Shafer and trying to per- suade him to return to baseball. Shat- er, according to a friend is far-off Cal- ifornia, is still hanging back, but shows signs of being afflicted by the call of the game. s Tilly Shafer, as he was known when he played third base and shortstop for McGraw's team a couple of years ago, was one of the most brilliant inflelders in the game ter and He also was a fine hit- one of the fastest men ia baseball. He . gave up the game to go _into the automobile business in California. McGraw admitted recently that he had been in communication with Shafer, and that he hoped for the best. ' He said that he needed him as utility man. )n_ of the reasons why Shafer quit baseball” said McGraw, “was that he complained that he did not like to play every day. I think that he would make ~a wonderful utility man and would materially strengthen my club. I have written him and hope to persuade him to return to the game.” McGraw decided to make an out- fielder of Shafer in 1913, but this in- directly brought about his retirement, He played that position in fifteen games, but got the idea that he was driving his old _college mate, Fred Snodgrass, out of a job. He felt so strongly about if that he packed his bag and started for home, finally being headed off at the sta tion.” He then replaced Herzog a third base. This was one of the causes which later led to Herzog's insistence that he be traded to Cincinnati, muere he went as manager. This trade was made while McGraw was out of the country. At the opening of the fol- lowing season Shafer announced his retirement from baseball and left the Giants, without a dependable third baseman. PACIFIC COAST ELEVEN LOOKS HARD FOR PENN. Oregon Team Considered the Best on Goast in Many Years. Pacific coast football enthusiasts are awaiting with interest the Oregon- Pennsylvania game on Jan. 1 at Pasa- dena, and while it is generally recog- nized that the Quakers developed into an exceptionally strong team for their game with Cornell there is a feeling that they will face a more powerful football machine than the one from Ithaca when they line up against Ore- gon. ritics who have watched the prog- ress fo the game on the coast are al- most unanimous in their opinion that Oregon has the strongest eleven ever turned out in the far west. The test of the season came on Nov. 11 at Portland, when Orcgon defeated Wash- ington State by 12 to It will be remembered that Wash- ington State, with practically the same lineup, defeated Brown 14 to 0 last rated by eastern critics as a topnotch- er. The ease with which Oregon de- feated Washington State in the recent game shows that the western team is rants the prediction that Oregon will give Penn a terrific battle at Pasa- dena. Oregon Leads on Coast. Oregon and Washington are tied for the Pacific coast championship this season. These teams played a score- less game on Nov. 4, but in justice to Oregon it must be said that her goal was never menaced, while Washington was frequently in’ danger. Oregon’s claim to superiority is further strengthened by its defeat of the strong Washington _State eleven—a team that Washington has refused to play for several years—and by Ore- gon’s 39-14 victory over California, as compared with Washington's 14-7 and 13-3 scores over the Berkeleyites. ithough Washington has a technical claim to a tie with Oregon for coast honors, all unbiased critics agree that Oregon has the superior team and that the authorities of the tournament of roses at Pasadena acted wisely in selecting Oregon to represent the far west against the east on Jan. 1. The lion's share of credit for Ore- | gom's success this yvear must go to| Coach Hugo Bezdek, Who is serving his fifth vear at Oregon. Bezdek was a pupil of Alonzo Stagg at Chicago and played on the famous team that de- feated Michigan in 1905. He went to Oregon in 1906 and developed a cham- pionship team and after an absence of several vears, during which he turned out winning elevens ‘at Arkansas, he returned to Oregon. He has won from practically every opponent but Wash- ington during the last four seasons and has now tied the great agsreza- “ion of Coach Dobie. Native Son ‘Captain. Johnnie Beckett, a stalwart youth from the golden wheat fields of cas ern Oregon, is captain of the eleven. Beckett played for three seasons on the Washington High school team at Portland_before going to college. and is now finishing his fourth and last year of varsity football. His regular position is left tackle, although he has been used in emergeicies at both end and half during the last season. He also does the punting for the tcam. Beckett is 24 years old, strips at 191 pounds and has plenty of speed and nerve. He has made places on All- Coast teams repeatedly, and many critics have boomed him for All- American honors. ‘Bartlett, another stalwart son of Oregon, fills the other tackle position, while Snyder and Spellman are the regular guards. Although not a showy player, Risley at center is rated as the FORMER PIRATE LEADER MAY GO TO CuUBS. Several Good Men ir View. Weeghman H: If Fred Clarke, former leader of the Pittsburgh Pirates can be induced to leave his agrarian and kindred inter- ests at Wintield, Kansas, he may be found managing the Chicago Nationals next season. While this report stands without essential confirmation from Charles W. Weeghman, president of the Chicago club it emanated from ‘v source pretty close to Clarke. The Clarke story stood out in a mass of fact, rumor and conjectures gleaned in the corridors of the Wal dorf-Astoria in New York, yvesterday among the arrivals for the annual meeting of the National league, which opened at that hotel this week. Mr. Weeghman ilitted in and out and re- fused to be pinned down to a definite statement regarding the Chicago man- agerial question. All he could be sot 1o admit was that while Joseph Tinker was to remain with the Cubs he was no longer to manage the club. 1 Clarke is not obtained it is very likely that cither Fred Mitchell, now coach of the Boston Nationals pitching stafi. or Frank Chance, forser leader of the Cubs and the Yankees will be named. Mitchell arrived in Gothem yesterday from Boston and admitted that he had been made an offer to as- sume the managership of the Cubs. However, all does not depend on Mitchell’s consent, but Percy Haugh- ton, George Stallings, et al, of Bos- tou, have set a high price on the re- lease of the veteran. The probabjlity of Chicago obtain- ing*the position became brighter Mon- day when it became known that Wil- liam Wrigley, Jr. one of his most ardent admirers, has added to his holdings in the Chicago club. It is an open secret that Weeghman is not in favor of ng Chance, but that the cause of the former leader is ba- ing pleaded her vigorously by Wrigley and W. Cubsfockholder. Chance, who is now managing the Los Angeles club of the Pacific Coast league, stands in his own way of ob- taining the place, as he is holding out for an anni Jary of something $20,000, similar to that which he for’ leading the Yankees.

Making weisht has been the means of casting more prospecting good rid- ers into the discard than prabably any other reason that can be advanced, and the recent death in England of —the erstwhile American star, “Danny” Ma- her, calls attention to the latest latest viclim of “wasting’ caused by un- natural sweating for the purpose % making weight. It is statéd that he left his native heath to ride in England because of the prohibitive weights which ruled here. and while he became the fore- most among the riders in the “tight lit- tle isle” leading the list for several vears, he was finally “brought down" by his desire to make the desired poundage. ‘When too late of with the aid of baths, purgatives and the like he gave over race riding, but his strength had been sapped and he rode but once afser coming back from South Africa, where he spent nearly a year n trying to recuperate.

The best of the Kangaroo boxers from Peter Jackson, the heavyweight, down to Young Griffo, featherweight, fought many battles in this country, and veteran followers of the rng wii ever remember the brilliant bouts stag- ed by the Antipodeans. There was Jackson, the ebony-hued gladiator, of whom it said he could defeat any heavyweight in the world.

Tom Tracy, George Dawson and Jim Burgess were the best of the Austra- lian welters. Heading the feather- weight division was Young Griffo, often proclaimed the cleverest box- er the world has ever known. Wheth- er or not he entitled to this_dis- tinction, it is indisputable that Griffo had it on all the other featherweghts of his day. Had he refrained from playing the “bright lights” he would have become king of both the feather and lightweights. Other Kangaroo boxers who praise for their sterling ability battlers in this country were Leeds, Billy McCarthy, Billy Smith, Arthur Walker, Tom William, Tim Haggerty, Otto Cripps, Billy Murphy and Hock Keyes. ‘With the passing of Fitzsimmons and Young Griffo Australia dropped out of the big league of champion boxers.

Yale's basketball team has completed plans for its Christmas trip, which will begin immediately upon the clise of the fall term of college on Frday. The basketball and hockey teams will leave New Haven in time to play games in New York that night, the hockey players tackling the St. Nicholas Rink and the basketball plavers meeting the Crescent Athletic Club team in Brooklyn. A total of nine basketball games has been arranged for the trip, the greatest number in the history of the sport, al- though the journey will not cover as many miles as some in former years. its extent will be Annapolis, where a game will be played with the Navy January Stradella at Centre. It was announced tonight that be- cause of illness Newell Garfield, the Dest centre of the team, would be un- able to phy during the trf. He is a grandson of President Garfield and was prevented by a surgical operation from taking the trip last Christmas. Stra- della, centre on the freshman five last vear, will succeed him. The stars of the team promise to be Charley Taft, on the defence, and Or- son Kinney for under-the-basket work. Kinney led the intercollegiate league last vear in scoring baskets and will hold one of the forward positions. Olsen, Horten and Clark, veterans of last season’s team, will strive for the other forward places. Yale has twenty vromising substitutes for the five. The other guard position will be played by Neil Mallon for the present. He was one of the most valuable all- around members of the five last vear. The lineup in starting the Christmas trip will be: Forwards, Kinney and Ol- sen; centre, Stradella; guards Mallon and Captain Taft. Stars on Five. The present is the second season in which Charley Taft, son of the former President of the United States, has been captain of the five. Two other star all-around athletes who will take the trip will be Harry LeGore, of football fame and baseball captain and Bob Rhett, the eft fielder of the Yale nine. The schedule as announced is as folow: December , Crescent Athletic Cub, Brooklyn; 23, College City of York at New York: January 2, versity of Buffalo, at Buffalo; 3, yversity of Rochester .at Rochester; 4, Tniversity of Syracuse, at Syracuse; 5, Harrisburg College Stars; 7, Navy, at Annapolis; 9, St. John’s College, at Brookyn. The paragraphers will have their fun no wthat Wheeler and Wilson have been elected captains of the Princeton and Harvard teams, respecc- tively. NAP RUCKER WAS KING ; OF THEM ALL Rucker to Do Scout Duty for the Robins. b Old Nap Rucker's pitching days are over. The veteran forkhander of the Brooklyn Dodgers was. recently sip-: ped his unconditional release by Charles Holiday Ebbets, of Flatbueh, and from now on Rucker will not have to worry if he has a Kink-im the one-time effective salary Soup bone. When Rucker was called In from the field to take Cheney’s place on the hurling top during the fourth game of the world’s series against. the Red; Sox last fall, his pet ambition was realized. Ile had always hoped to, serve up the foolers to the batters in the gold and purple event of thej national pastime, and after the game! he announced to assembled secribés. that he was through. Shortly after the big series end Ebbets asked for waivers on the vet-y eran, and the granting of waivers sig- nified that major league club owners believe Rucker has seen his best days. But Nap will not sever his connec: tion with the grand old game alto-: gether, for he has been engaged to! scout for the Robins, and his duties as a hunter in the flelds of solid ivory] will find him wandering about in the Southerri league and the American as-i sociation. i Rucker came to Brooklyn from the: Augusta (Ga.) club in 1907, and from that time through the season of 19 he was the king of portside pill curv-{ ers. John McGraw of the Giants has, calied him the greatest southpaw who cver curved a ball, and John is sup-! posed to know whereof he speaks. During the years when Rucker was in his heydey as a pitcher, the Dodg- ers, unfortunately for him, were more or less a team of misfits every season. Rucker always stood out as a star surrounded by a team of mediocre players, and although he pitched won- derful ball, his pitching was in vain in so far as his pet ambition went. He' lived in the hope of taking part.im a world series, and when that hope, was_gratified he was ready to up his glove and his spikes and it quits, ' The fact that the Red Sox found: Rucker’s aging arm still capable” of, uncanny stunts was a great pleasure| to him, and it proved that at least a trace of the erstwhile cumming still there. ) Perhaps the most pieasing memory. that will linger with Rucker is that| of the t ovation he received when Uncle Wilbert Robinson called him in- to the box against the Carrigans.
