Faced with a discouraging proposition after the Yale-Boston College game of phree weeks ago, Coach Al Sharpe, the EU gridiron mentor, has evolved a fighting machine that to-day is in al- most perfett condition for to-morrow’s | tussle with the Brown ber, Realizing the significance to be attached to tl result of this coming game, Sharpe has driven his men hard this week, letting up on them only once, and that was yesterday, when a long signal drill supplanted the usual scrimmage sessions in his endeavors to face Brown with a Yale team that has all but reached the zenith of Its season's strength. The Browao game should point out the remaining faults in the team, which the enormous coaching staff should eliminate before Prince- ton invades the Bowl It is now almost a certainty that the lat backfield combination to be selected is Sharpe's favorite, Fido KKempton, already heralded as of all- American calibre, at quart Neville, veteran hero of 1916’ pionship contests, at left half; Fred Webb, the inexpertenced sophomore, at right half, and Jim Braden, the huski- est of all backfield candidates, at full- back, make up this new powerful combinajon which meets its first test in the Brown game. Speed, power and bunting strength are all contained in this outfit, Kempton at end running, Neville at off tackle, Braden smashing through every line he has been pitted against, and Webb, the best three- yard man on the team, should take care of advancing the ball by rushing tactics, while Neville's toe is good for an average of well over fifty yards in any punting duel. Despite the prominence given for- ward pass in signal sessions, it has been rarely used in games, It would appear that it 1s being saved to help ale out of desperate straits should difficulty be encountered, On the other hand, since the Hinkey regime straight line plunging has always held the preference and the success which has attended the dld-fashioned ‘style of football warrants tts retention. ne plunging, successful against the kK Southern teams, did not give lo victory over Boston College, but the entirely rejuvenated Yale line ars little resemblance, with fighting Tim Callahan at centre, to the unco- crdinated group of men that lined up against the Boston College machine, Capt.

N inkling of the plans of Ban Johnson in his fight with New York, Boston and Chicago, reached | New York for the first time yesterday | and the Colonels, aided by Mr. Comis- key and Mr. Frazee, are prepared to| launch their offensive accordingly. | Wow! But it’s going to be some win- | ter quarrel! With the present Board of Direc- tors made up of Ruppert, Frazee, Comiskey and Dunn, the American League President knows that he! hasn't a chance. For fear of furntsh- | ing them ammunition he has re- mained silent for the first time in his Ufe. He has not neglected the mails, however. Letters have gone forth to Phil Ball, Connie Mack, Frank Navin, Minor of Washington and Dunn of Cleveland. All are importuned to stand fast, If they weaken before the annual meeting to be held in Chicago next month Ban’s reign is ended. If they remain steadfast, regardless of the merits of the case, the plan is to oust Ruppert, Comiskey and Frazee from the Board of Directors whose terms expire in December, and sub- stitute Navin of Detroit, Ball, Minor and some one from the Philadelphia Club, Johnson has the votes with which to do this. It this plan succeeds New York, Boston and Chicago, the three richest clubs of the league, will be absolute- ly at the mercy of the small cities. Naturally, the plan carries with it the retention of Johnson as President. In fact, he is already elected for a long term and the only way to rid the league of hig presence is through im- peachment or resignation. As a result of this line-up all trad- ing of players has ceased. Managers are stopped in their efforts to rebuild thelr clubs for the coming season. The three big clubs will have to trade among themselves while the ematler ones may do likewise It's a pretty mess, all brought on by Johnson's stubborness, or, es some term it, stupidity.
