COSSIP FROM THE CRIDIRON sz New Wostern Association is Being Dis- cussed Among Ocleges. HYDE PARK OPENS EASTERN EYES Easy Victory for the Chieage High School Eleven Gives New Notlon of Western Style of Play. It anything results fr ow belng dall nasociation among the next season. It is the lntention to include those universities and colleges h oo fir 1o the westward to come into com potition with the teams of the big nine The institutions of learning which will be eligible to the new association and which may be included in It, wholly or in part are: Missour! university at Columbia, Mo Kansas univorsity at Lawrence, Kan braska university, Colorade university Boulder, Col.; the Haskell Indian Washburn college, Topeka, Kan Bchool of Mines, Golden, Colo.; Ag college, Fort Colline, versity, Denver, Colo., and Colorado college Oolorade Spring: The Colorado #chools have already formed a league amor themselves, which Is directed against the Deaver Athletic ciub, the purposo being to tabu the team of that club, because of p fessionalicm. Whatever crganization fa af- fected, the real aseociation will be among the teams of Kaneas, Missour!, Colorado and Nebraska univer the negotiations we made there will 1o at echool Colorads tural 1o.; Denver uni Colo. Westerners would 1ike to regard the re- sult of the Hyde Park-Brooklyn polytechnle game—the only actusl contest Detween cast and west—as & straw to | dicate the drift of football supremacy. Th team of the Chicago High school defeated the team of the Brooklyn polytechnic school by a score of 105 to 0 on a field of by fast, open football and team work, mak- ing nearly all its gains about the ends be hind excellent interference in a manner ap- parently unknown to the easterner were prepared to withstand line p Tho game would be of no partioular portance were it not the last of the season and the only tryout betwcen rival sections of the country. Coach Aubut of Brooklyn says: “It was the cloanest game I ever saw. There was much less rough play than in eastern games. The fast, open play de- feated ua. I guess I will have to change my opinion regarding the merits of western mothods. I nmever saw such fast playing 18 all my life, and our team was not pro- pared to meot the open game used by Hyde Park. Wo have always played a plunging game, and it s much slower. Our men are not used to such a running game, and 1t took their breath. Hyde Park could beat this season any eastern scholastic team, and makeany | of the small colleges work.hard." The Hyde Park eleven was probably the best high school team in the country this year. Its scores were: Hyde Park, § Hyde Park, Hyde Park, T Hyde Park, 35 North DI , Hyde Park, 74; West Division, 0. Hyde Park, 57; Englewood. 0. Hyde Park, 105; Brookiyn Poly.-Prep., 0. Unfortunately, most of the members of this team will graduate this year and leave the school to find new material. Theso men will, however, in nearly evary case §0 to some ono of the universitics in the djolning states and may be heard from mext season in more lmportant football than this year. Princeton will suffer less by graduation than either Yalo or Harvard this year, s fact which argues much for the showing of the team next season. The outlook is better for 1903 than it was for 1902, A large part of the present players will return next year, among these belng Davis, Bradley, Brown, Rafferty, Short, Barney, Reed and Foulke. Beeides these are Burke and Kater, two of tho best men Princeton had in its back fleld at tho beglnning of the season, and whd were kept out of the play by in- juries. The men who filled the places of these two were pot thelr equals by much and it 1s a question it Chadwick would have got clear for his long run in the Yale game 1t Burke had been playing back in place of Plerson. Dutcher, another 'man of un- doubted ability, who was put out by a hurt early in the season, will probably strengthen the Tiger line next fall. In contrast to this satisfactory condition, there will be & number of new men In the lineup at Yalo and Harvard, The blue loses Captain Chadwick and Goss and Holt, which makes it necessary to bulld up & new cen- ter. However, about six or seven of this ¥y stars will return for the 1903 wea son. Harvard will loose Bernard, Bugden, Bowditch, Kernan and Graydon by gradua tion. Wisconsin is already worrylog about its team for next year and is wondering how to make a gréen team successful. The Badgers will probably lose more ‘varsity players before the next season than any , other important member of the Big Nine. Beven of the team will drop out, three hav- ing now played the four years allowed and the others graduating this spring. The line ‘will suffer the most the three men on the right slde—8kow, Lerum and Haumer- | avallable for | repertea | Northwestern has let out Dr will all leave.

But he did belleve 1t would be an incentlve for the emall colleges to raise their standard, One of the coaches for a small college, McLean of Knox, sald it would all depend | on tho attitude and character of the com- mittee on invitations. He sald that 1t this committee or the conforence tried to use the rule to exclude the small college® men 1t would be bad for the sport, as only the big university stars could come to lght. He safd that would be using the confer- ence rules’ divectly for the Interest of the big institutions. But he expects that it will work out all right. : Chicago's schedule for mext season, says the Chicago Tribune, s mot likely to in- clude Minnesota. Chicago men would feel no particular elation in beating Minneapolls, which {s not a natural geographical rival, while & defeat would be disappointing. But tho roal resson is that Ohicago has hard enough games now. Michigan, Wisconsin, Northwestern and I1linols are natural rival and furnish the ground work for Btagg's schedule. Nebraskn wants a date, which is & hazardous experiment; oonsidering the chance of injurles and with nothing to gain. Many teams do mot understand that vie- tortas over elevens whose home university {s at & great distance means nothing to Chicago, except perhaps a small quota of honor, while defeat is humillating. But victorles over long standing rivale is Ohi- cago's keynote now and should be the key- note of western football lnstead of an all absorbing ambition to win & champlonship, & place into which Michigan waa forced by its schedule and the unexpeated happenings of the season. The successtul management of & prom- inent football team through a season is & business of no little magnitude. A few figures may sorve to make plain the amount of “business” connected with the finenclal direction of an eleven. Take Yala. It has been estimated that the blue closed the season with & net profit of $26,000. Its share of the gate In the Harvard game, after all expenses were pald, was about 000. The total amount netted from the smaller games 1s figured at $10,000, and the Princeton game added $15,000 more. This makes & total of about $50,000, leaving @ neat balance of $30,000 to the credit of tho athletic board of the university.

It was admitted that Brown h never ned & contract with Terre Haute, and that the claim of that club was based on the fact that he had pitched there part of one season on trial. It was equally admitted that Willlam A. Rourke of Omaba had contracted with Brown in good faith, and that he had paid him a higher salary than Terre Haute, offered. It was also established that Brown would not slgn a contract with Terre Haute, even If he were taken away from Omaha. While Prosident Sexton was ecting as president of the Three-1 league, he arded’ Brown to Terro Haute, and then as president of the Wostern he decided that the pitcher might stay with Oma! Now that Brown has gone to Chicago, the Sporting News la worrled as to who will get him it he doean't make good.
