The lemgue is made up of six colleges—Cornell, Columbia, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale. The season will begin on Jan. 5 with Columbia at Pennsylvania. Dartmouth will play at Princeton Jan. 7, Cornell at Columbia Jan. 11, and Yale will be at Dartmouth and Princeton at Pennsylvania on Jan.! 12. . VIVIAN NICKALLS FULLY RECOVERED FROM WOUNDS Former U. of P. Rowing Mentor Was * Wounded in Knee by Bursting Shrapnel. Friends of Vivian Nickalls, rowing coach of the University of Pennsylvania, will be deMghted to learn that he has fuily recovered from wounds received at the front in former that the | full schedule for the 1918 season, con- | ba France. He was wounded twice in the knee by bursting shrapnel. At first iz was thought he would lose the leg. But thanks to the American doctors and nurses at a_base hospital the limb was saved. Nickalls in his own characeristic manner writes to Eddie [Marsh of the Vesper Boat club, in part as follows: “I was hit through the knee twice and was in bed two months. I am now fairly sound after four months and join up for light duty in two weeks and expect to be sent to France again, in January. I am fed up, but it's no good soldiering at bome. One might just as well take a chance again and can only get Kill- ed once. Remember me to all the boys along Boathouse row.” SAIER AWARDED PITTSBURG Services Had Been in Dispute Be- tween Chicago and Pirates. | President Barney Dreyfuss of the j Pittsburg ball club received = word {from John K. Tener, president of the ! National League, that he had award- {ed to the Pittsburg club Vic Saier, late first baseman of the Chicago club, | over whose services the two clubs | had been in dispute. Dreyfuss claim- | ed Saier last year when it was an- | nounced that he had been released by Chicago, but when the Pittsburs ciub sent Saier a contract he re- ifused to sign, saying he was being ipaid by the Chicago club. | Saler played several gafes with the Cubs at the close of the season. iThe matter was threshed out at the meeting of the league two weeks ago in New York, and the issue lef: to Tener, who made known his decision the other night. When Dreyfuss was asked what he would do. about play- ing Saier he said: “It all depends on how he and Moll- witz shape up at the training camp, and as to what Manager Bezdck thinks jof them. We may make a trade that | |vflll give us at least one or the other for our first base position. However, :there is. time enough for that. The { question is what should be done with { Weeghman, whq violated the league constitution when he paid Saier’s sai- ¢ and also allowed his manager to him the end of the season. 1f belongs to us then Weeghman be fined and shown that he t et away with such tricks in National league.” | GIANTS HAVE LOST ONLY THREE PLAYERS All Regulars Stiil in Civilian Life— Three Rookies Have Answered Call cannot i the So far the regular plaver probability fected, have not lost a the draft. and the will ‘not be af- married men are cailed So far oniy three rook- aird, John Paul -Jones, a pitcher, and ‘a lineal descendant of the first American naval hero, and big George Kelly are in the national service.

After Anderson’s exemption he tried to en- list'in the Dental Corps, but was told that no more dentists were needed.

New York, Dec. 26.—Rails led the post-holiday recession on the stock exchange, a.score of those issues de- clining one to four points, with yet lower records for St. Paul preferred at 62 1-2 and Baltimore and Ohio prefer- red and common at 47 1-4 and 38 1-4 respectively. The fresh reaction was popularly assoclated with indications that the administration is soon to announce its policy of railroad control. congress to | i shage in the responsibility. An_illustration of the caution with which transportation companies are proceeding was furnished by the Del- aware and .Fudson directors. A ular dividend was declared for the first quarter of 1918, instead of order- ing pavments for the full vear, as was long the custom. Industrials suffered almost as much as rafls, deriving their impulse from sporadic liquldation of equipments. For this no explanation was vouch. safed other than a possible further re- vision of prices by the war board. Trading lapsed after the first hour, the market coming to a standstill in the intermediate und later periods, ex cept for a weakening of utilities. lers made nominal rallies just be- fore the close, chiefly Reading and Union Pacifis, net loss of two points at 83 1-2.

Stuffy is to become a yeoman at the Charlestown Navy vard. He is the sixth plaver of the Athletics to join the colors. Official averages show that Cobb led the league in batting percentage, in hits, in sdoubles, in triples and in stolen bases. which is Cobb's way of answering_the critics who announced that he wbs going back. Tt’s the long shot that's most dan- | gerous to toy with.

Leonard did it, in'a way that sur- prised the New Haven pug, and then advised him never to eay anything to or poke hi$ jaw out at an opponent in the ring, no matter what his ability. 3 WRESTLING AT YALE. ON MILITARY. BASIS Regarded as Valuable Adjunct to Mili- " tary Training by Captain Qverton. ‘Starts Thursday, December 27th and Ends qunesday, January 2nd ‘THE MUSLIN UNDERWEAR SECTION IS TO BE A SPOT OF UNUSUAL INTEREST DURING Whitewear Week We anticipate most unusual activity in the Muslin Undergarment section during this week: The foresighted woman is already convinced of the need and necessity of buying Whitewear for present and future requirements. It does not require a mathematician to convince you with cotton at 30c per pound, cotton material must be higher. So with such values in force we repeat our Muslin Underwear section will be one of the busiest spots in the store. As example of the values the following are mentioned. GOWNS, SKRITS, ENVELCPE CHEMISE At 97c Our regret is that we could not get more. There is enough,on hand, but shoppers will be sure to buy more than a few at such a price. trim- Various styles and mings. CORSET COVERS At 22c and 44c These values are exception- al, both in price and quality. MUSLIN DRAWERS At 47c Splendid values and trim- med with imported embroid- ery. COTTON PAJAMAS $1.48 It will mean a saving for you to purchase these Pa- jamas now for Summer wear. HAND MADE AND HAND EMBROIDERED PHILLIPINE UNDERWEAK At $1.98, $2.25, $3.00, $3.50 These age the newest gar- ments in Underwear and you will want to see them to ap- preciate their real value. B. GOTTHELF & CO. “The Store of Good Values”’ 94-100 Main Street have annually developed one of the meost dangerous wrestling combinations amoing the Klis' opponents. The Navy grapplers have sent word that they hope to be able to give Yale a date later in the season. At Annapolis wrestling is a major sport and is re- garded as one of the most valuable aids in the training of the midshipmen. Develops Oarsmen. Yale’s rowing coaches regard wrest- ling as an adjunct to development of the oarsmen and will encourage it more emphatigally than ever this sea- son. Winter Mead who rowed No. 3 in the varsity eight last season and who is ong of the strongest oarsmen in the present varsity shell, is one of the best heavyweighis on the wrest- ling squad. He weighs 178 pounds and, with Captain Gus very, may enter the light héavyweight class Avery is brother of Ben Avery, Yale's former wrestli champion, = captain and football end. Rarely has a single family contributed two captains to a Yale athletic team. Gus Avery cap- tained the freshman wrestling team two seasons ago, but did not wrestle last season. Heavyweight Entry. Yale has a remarkable heavyweight entry in the person of Carter Galt, the former football guard. He weighs 285 pounds when in training form. Under Winter's coaching he promises to prove an _intercollegiate heav: weight champion. / If football returns to the Yale curriculum anothe rseason Galt and Avery are likely to shine on the gridiron. Theodore Lee Safford, captain of the freshman grapplers last year, is the star of the 162-pound squad. He is regarded the most prom- ising candidate at his weight who has represented Yale in several _seasons. Ruland Thompson of New York city is on exceptionally promising second string ‘entry at this weight. ~Other Possi ‘W. B. Gray of the freshman team last season will probably be Yale's nominee in the 149 pound class. Al- bert Veeder is a promising reserve candidate. Oswald Jones of the fresh- man team two season’s ago is the lead- ing 139 pound candidate and Francis Woodward the best 129 pound entry.:| R. H. Berry is another promising member of the 129 pound squad. R .S. McConnell, a new comer on the squad, is the best.119-pounder. FOOTBALL AND WAR Y Percy Haughton Points Out Similari- ties—Scouting Is Football Espionage. In a recent interview in a Boston newspaper Percy Haughton drew. an apalogy between football and war, in which among other things. he made the interesting confession that ‘“our scouting system.in football ‘was noth- ing more nor less than a polite es- pionage system.” Just now the va- rious _college - authorities may view Mr. Haughton’s school for spies when comes is a question. Perhaps fages of M TS u.'."a'g'enots:rh%‘ deamess E an h a%r-’ tree. AN 3 his work as a member of the First Corps Cadets, his tour of duty at Plattsburg, and his reading of mili- tary works have been made him a bet- ter football man. “In 1914 and 1915 we at Cambridge planned our gridiron campaign just as if it were a military campaign, just as game were the taking. of Berlin, “if You will pardon the figure of speech. We had to be prepared on a cert day to show our very best. We knew what was ahead, and we planned for it. We reached our maximum effi- ciency, even as we planned, iwo weeks before the Yale gamc. In those last two weeks we had the chance to smooth out and to pick up the ioos ends. Of course, in war you nevi can tell when vour day of battle will come. But you must be prepared. Preparedness is the keynote of foot- ball.” Haughton goes on to say that the secret of success in football is a thor- ough knowledge of the enemy's weak nesses. Answering the question— .why does football in greater measure than any other sport prepare men for military ursuits >—Haughton says, first, that football is a game of dis- cipline. The amenability of football players to discipline fits them, in con- sequence, to succeed as soldiers. In the second place, being deeply inter ested in football, they will necessar- ily ‘be deeply interested in the busi- if the winning of that ¥ale | ness of war, which is so the gridiron spoft. Then he other consjderation— often, he asks, “at Plattsburg and army cantonments do the young men get cold, wet, tired, and discouraged! Then their football training, the hab- it of keeping at it to the end, comes to the assistauce of the young mer They keep going, refuse to be dis- couraged, and they make good. #The last reason why so many play- ers have obtained commis why t 3 ve made and saod in a < wherefores.
