foolish to Insist that a certain eleven men
picked at random throughout the Eastern
universities constitutes the best AU-Amerlcan
team, but It Is unjust to other sec

Weit, with claims of their own. To pick
eleven mn from the East and dub them
an AU-Amerlcnn team Is Just as unfair
as to pick an eleven from the West and

also possible that If eleien men could he

East and coached to play a certain sjstem
such a team might he able to win from the

Dick such an eleven from the host of minor
colleges would be just as unsatisfactory as to
attempt to rank the minor colleges
the East, This 3 ear tho Carlisle Indians played
Brown and Rutgers played Washington and
Jefferson at tho Polo grounds, and last sea
son the Indians-Dartmouth and Army-Navy

will be Increased throughout the East.
Basketball Is not called the "cage game"
because the players exhibit sny ancestral ten
dencies. After the close of college football, there
were more fullbacks than were recorded In
1013. '
LoVtore. the Yale fullback. Is believed by
the majority ot experts to be the most finished
football player ot the season, His ability to
diagnose plays was almost uncanny. This
happy football faculty, combined with hta
native ability as a tackier and plunger, com
pels blm to bo ranked at the top of American
gridiron experts for the last season. That he
will be selected for th AU-Amerlcan eleven
Is assured, and ha Justly deserves the honor
which Is certain to be his.
"When American football Is divided Into Its
component parts, we dad that It consists of
the head coach.
Battling Levlnsky Is far behind his mimer.
leal lag record ot last season. Possibly, the
opponent whom he fought so often during the
last season has run out ot names.
As far as the Ktsiern Basketball League la
concerned, there cau be no eritUlsin because
the men play to the best of their ability. It
has been argued that no professional athlete
takes Interest in the result ot a contest that
an amateur would unless there la some com
pensation for winning The only difference be
tween tho winners and the losers in this
Uagu Is that the winners sometimes have
larger crowds than ths (all-tnder But at the

not likely to be any falling off In tht

to do bis utmost to win. and to win fairly
That Is the spirit which has kept and will
Veep professional basketball alive. There are
not as many taiktlball fans as there are
tsseball and football, but thoae who are
fond ot the game will go to every contest

gratulated for their all-round good work and
efforts to ktep th gam on a high level.

WALTER CAMP SAYS
SOCCER DOES NOT
APPEAL TO U. S.
Football Expert Tells of
Shortcomings of English
Game and Why It Is Not
More Popular.
Though Walter Camp, the recognized
football authority of America, Is partial
to tho American college game, his knowl
edge la by no means limited to that ono
branch of athletics. On the contrary, lie
1b an Interested baseball fan and is thor
oughly fnmlllar with all athletics In this
country and a number which are the
"hendllnera" In foreign countries.
On the eve of tho Army-Navy game
Camp was discussing games In general
at the Belle ue-Stratford Hotel. lte was
asked what ho thought of soccer nnd the
chances for Its becoming a ranking branch
of athletics In this country. Ho refused
to commit himself fully on the aubject,
but gnvo several reasons why the game
had progressed no further than It has.
"The main trouble with soccer," said the
gridiron xpert, "is that It Iacka definite
ness. By that I mean that every play
made In soccer does not represent a maxi
mum of effort. You know that on tho
soccer field tho ball Is often dribbled and
many short kicks are made. Now, tha
average American wants to see etcry
play In a game performed as though It
were the deciding one of the gamei For
Instance, when a ball is kicked In a foot
ball game the American spectator wants
to see the longest kick that can be made.
He doesn't care to see the short kicks
that appear In soccer because they do not
represent tho greatest effort,
"I have seen many of ths big soccer
matches In England and have been pres
ent when there were more people around
the field than there were In the Tale
bowl when Yale played Harvard. These
matches draw crowds because the people
aro dlfforent temperamentally from us,
Another reason for the large attendance
Is the low fee at the gate, A champion
ship soceer match can ba seen for the
erivlvalent of 85 cents.
Americans want to see a game," Camp
continued, "which Is played by men train
ed for that one event. They want to sea
the best game that can be played. On
the other hand, the English people want
a game which any one can play with lit
tle or no training. They do not care to
witness a contest In which they them
selves could not take part if the oppor
tunity were offered.
"In England the professional football
player does not take the long chances
which an amateur might take and which
Is taken In almost every play lit the Amer
ican game. I once saw a. soccer played by
amateurs In which the- was a- yqung
fellow playing for all he was worth. On
once occasion he threw himself In front
of a man who was about to kick the ball.
He received the full blow ot his oppo
nent's foot, and In two days from that
time he died from peritonitis. Now, an
American likes that kind of a game where
the players are constantly taking chances,
but the Englishman does not care for It
particularly Few professional soccer
players would have taken ths chances
that that man took. They would rather
allow tbs man to kick the ball and make
a goal, than dive in where there
was a cbance for Injury. Such a ohanc
as the one taken by the player I have
just fceen talking about Is taken a bun
dred times a season by the American
football player. That's why the people
Ilk the Afnertean game and also shows
why soccer Is not more popular.
"Americans feel the same way about
the BugLIsb. game or Rugby That, too,
lacks deflBlteaess, and I don't think It
could ever be very popular on this side."

plication for a charter from th American
power Beat Association for that section of
the Delaware River situated between Cam
deu and Trauton ...
In order to obtain a charter for any c
lion, an association must have a member
ship of at least WW. making up thre or
mora clubs. When the league applied It was
found that th Trerton Yacht Club had not
officially or Ugatly resigned from th Dela

left tbe Uex 00 with but three clubs, th WU
ipoilng Yacht Club th Columbia. Yaeht
Club and the Farragut fiportmsn'a Associa

After th rejection of th league' application
the coutocll went on record a being oppostd
to rrantjnr a charter to any assoeiatloa wbkth
wovbl c$aftat In any way with any section
of the present charter, polottog out that to

WILLIAMS TO MEET
O'KEEFEIHLOGAL
RING. SAYS HARRIS
Manager of World's Ban
tamweight Champion
Fighter Has Agreed to
Give Philadelphia Boy a
.Chance.
According to tho statement of "Sammy"
Harris, manager of "Kid" Williams, the
worlds kbnntamwelght champion, who
knockcdlout "Young" Digging, of this
city, to oiympla Athletic Assoclal
'ast nlRnt, the little wonder wilt m
"JSddle" 'Q'Keefe In n. locat ring befciee'
many days. Harris has agreed to match
his boy against the clever Philadelphia,
and tho fight fans are due to great
treat.
Harris leftkwn this afternoon for New
York, where' Ita Is to- close out a deal
which will carrV him nnd his champion
on a tour of tllo West. Before taking
on the btst boys to be hnd at Milwaukee,
St. Louis nnd Kansas City Williams will
be pitted ngnlnit "Battling" Heddy. ot
New Tork, before ono of ths Gotham
olubs, and O'Keefe here. Tho date has
not been definitely- decided for either ot
these matches.
One reason Harris would not glva
O'Keefe a battle With the champion 1 be
cause the men nre at odds. O'Kee one
night not so long ago stepped out of
the Oiympla doorway- and took a punch
at tho diminutive manager just for luck.
Harris was floored. It Is alleged. Since,
that time tho men have been at dagger
points, and "Sammy" would net let
O'Keefe make a penny off his Boy. Now
Harris has been more or less forced to
allow Williams to battle, as the publlo
demands the match ba staged. Williams
Is readjf jjind will find O'Keefe, as usual.
In tip-top condition for the match.
WILLIAMS WINNER
Sends "Freddie" Diggins to the aTInn
in Third Hound.
"Kid" Williams, theN bar weight
champion of the world, proved L "class"
conclusively to tho - Philadelphia publlo
last night when he disposed of "Young
Freddy" Dlgglns In three rounds of a.
most sensational fight at the Oiympla.
A. A. Local promoters have been trying;
to "dig" up some one who will give
Williams a fight, and they have pro
duced man after man who looked to hav
a "chance." "Young" Dlgglns has been
the logical selection ot ths experts, but
his showing last night proved that Wil
liams Is In a class by himself.
For the first two rounds Dlgglns waa
most aggressive and his skill enabled
htni to land many blows on the champlon'j
face. Diggins was holding his own. as
far as clever work was concerned. In the
first and second round, but In the third
Williams realized that DIgglmr could not
hurt him and waded In. He forced Dlg
glns to a corner and would not let him
out, He landed a hard right-hand body
punch which forced a look of pain to
Dlgglns' face, and then he placed a few
more blows on the body. Dlgglns weak
ened, and, when lie saw this, Williams
sent several hard rights and lefts to the
face and the battle waa over. Dlgglns
took the count of a long nine Jn the first
place and then arose, Williams Imme
diately stent In his attack and another
hard right floored Dlgglns.
In the semt-wlndup Ford Mcinrer, of Balti
more, won a good battle from "Jim" Perry, of
Pittsburgh. In six rounds, Ferry was tb
stronger and th harder puncher of
ths two, but Munger kept plugging
his left Into the face of the boy from th
Smoky City and had tho better of tb milling
In th last four rounds. Jn tho second Mun
ger wss forced to lak the count of two from
tho effects of a hard right handr from Prry.
Munger spotted his exhibition by continued
holding, but was a winner at the end.
