UNIFORM CODE OF AMATEURISM NECESSARY PENN'S DEFENSE HOPE FOR VICTORY

BAN ON LEGORE ANOTHER PROOF
OF FLAWS IN AMATEUR RULES
Glaring Inconsistencies in Code Unfair and Could Be
Remedied Easily by Standard Agreement of All
Colleges Other Sports Comment
IF THE Yale Athletic Association, Instead of disqualifying Ave of Its best foot
ball and baseball players for what It Insists was merely a technical viola
tion of the amateur code, would take the Initiative or enter Into nn alliance
with other universities to agree upon some uniform code of nmateurlsm It
would do Intercollegiate sports a real service.
Such a definition Is needed not only In behalf of amateurism In college
baseball but In football, track and other sports.
There Is hardly any word In the English language which admits of more
definitions and Interpretations than "amateur." Even Yale observes two defini
tions for It. For example, Legore and his team mates are disqualified from
amateur athletics for all time because they violated the Yale rule by accept
ing; free board for playing with a club baseball team during the summer.
Yet Yale track athletes are allowed to compete for tho New York Athletic
Club and other organizations during the summer months, and particularly If
they go on trips, their board and traveling expenses are paid for them. If base
ball players have to pay their own expenses, even to their board, while play
ing baseball, so ought the trackmen.
All Colleges Violate Some Phase of Amateur Rule
The inconsistency of the thing grows as the Investigation proceeds. It
now the custom for Yale and the other big universities to hold preliminary
football practice before their universities open In the fall. Yale practiced
thus for three weeks this year at Madison, Conn.: Harvard at some place
near Boston and Pennsylvania at Port Deposit, Md. Is It to be supposed
that the students summoned for early practice paid their own board? Not
on your life!
Legore went from playing summer baseball for a club to playing sum
mer football for Yale. He is disqualified for doing for an amateur club
precisely what he was allowed to do later for Yale. It would take more
than a Philadelphia lawyer to make the proper distinction here.
Lapses in Rowing, Football and Track Games
Further, the Poughkeepsle regatta, and Bometlmes the Yale-Harvard
boat races at New London, are held after the college year closes. The entire
expenses of these crews are paid by their athletic associations. To be con
sistent these men should be compelled to pay their own board, since they
are competing after the close of their universities.
Here Is another Juicy Inconsistency: The International Olympic Com
mittee is supposed to set the pace In making pure amateur rules. Yet It
permits the employes of rifle and ammunition manufacturers to participate
In its amateur events at the Olympic games! And almost any kind of a
wrestler or bicycle rider is an amateur in the Olympic games.
.1 A Bit of Humbug Worthy of Ridicule
A very pretty appeal is made to sentiment by the action of leading
Harvard athletes and the similarly suggested action at Princeton asking
Yale to reinstate these men since they unwittingly violated the letter of the
Yale rule.
Both Harvard and Princeton rise to protest indignantly that they never
thought of calling to the attention of the Yale authorities the infraction of
the amateur rulea by Legore and his fellow athletes. But every one knows
well enough that If either Harvard or Princeton had evidence concerning
the violation of the amateur rules by these men they would have presented
It quickly enough. Yale knows It, too.
Harvard Caused Disqualification of Roos
Only last spring Harvard protested Roos, of Yale's track team, on the
ground that he was then competing his third year for Yale after two years
of competition at Columbia. Yale had to admit Harvard's contention, and
the disqualification of Roos gave the meet to Harvard. On top of this, Prince
ton protested against Yale's use of Hanes, the star outfielder of Its baseball
team, on the ground that his playing this spring was giving him an extra
year of competition. Yale had to admit that contention, too. Yale men must
have their own thoughts now on the proffered sympathy of Harvard and
Princeton.
"" Colleges Should Get Together and Formulate Code
There is only one conclusion to be reached. Human nature Is the same
at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania and every other university. The
standard of amateurism is Just as high as the standard of undergraduate
honesty. The sole purpose of amateur rules is to Insure an even game
with all sides observing the same rules.
The amateur code is not the same at any two institutions, and since all
the colleges play each other, common sense should dictate, forgetting old
enmities, and the calling of a convention In which at least all the universities
of a certain class would pass uniform amateur and eligibility rules written
clearly enough to be understood and observed by all.
Braves Field Could Exceed Yale Bowl's Seating Capacity
The most notable features of Braves Field, the new home of the Boston
National League baseball club, on which two of the world's series games this
year were played, are the extent of the playing surface and the possibility
of Increasing the seating capacity.
The official attendance at the first Phlllles-Red Sox game in Boston was
42,600. This number indicates the exact present number of seats, and still
the sweep of the stands extends only half way around the field and has no
upper tier. The concrete stands are built In such a way that a "double
decker" can be erected at any time the management desires.
Further, the stands can be extended all the way around the field, making
a complete circuit. If two-tier stands were placed around this big ball lawn
they would be capable of seating not less than 125,000 persons, or 65,000
more than the giant Yale bowl.
If such an extension were made Braves Field would have a capacity
exceeding by many thousands even the mammoth soccer football arenas
of Great Britain and Australia.
t Niehoff Blamed for Tipping Off Red Sox to AH Signals
Upon arriving In Chicago en route for the Pacific coast, Duffy Lewis,
hero of the recent world's series, told a scribe that Bert NiehofT, of the
Phillies' had unconsciously tipped the Red Sox off to almost every ball pitched
at critical stages of the series.
Major league inflelders have a habit of shifting after seeing the catcher
give the signal to the pitcher, in order to take advantage of the percentage,
as certain batsmen pull curve balls through one spot and hit fast ones in
an entirely different direction. Lewis says that Niehoff was nervous through
cmt the series, and In the pinches shifted before the ball was on its way
to the plate. He says that he knew that Alexander's curve ball was coming
up in the fourth game, and that he also called Rlxey's fast ball when he hit
the home run in the final game by watching Niehoff.
If Lewis Is right, it Is strange that such a strongly boosted hitting team
could not score more runs if Niehoff was constantly tipping them off.
Paced Running Records Not Proper Idea in Sport
A number of protests are certain to be made by district delegates at the
annual pow-wow of the Amateur Athletic Union at the Waldorf-Astoria, New
York, November 22, regarding the advlsiblllty of granting records to athletes
Who make their marks In "paced" events.
The Middle Atlantic Association representatives Will take the stand that
it is unfair to grant an athlete a "paced" record and thus wipe off the books
a highwater mark made In "open" competition. The Amateur Athletic Union
at Its session last year, when the Federation Athletic Rules were adopted,
decided (o list only standard events for records. Odd distance and mlscel
Umous figures were to be placed under the caption "Notable Achievements."
Vary properly, the "paced" recards should be placed on the books, but not to
vejslace standard marks made In open running.
It is magnanimity in the Nth degree for Harvard and Princeton to urge
-, tfce reinstatement of Legore and his team mates, barred from athletics at Yale.
A Clarissa would say, It is too sweet for anything.
The cruWg defeat of Delaware College by Lafayette yesterday was
MMwkat a upset, although it was expected that Crowells team would
iitaw pMbatly by a Harrow margin.

WHEN IS AN AMATEUR NOT
AN AMATEUR? CASE OF LEGORE
Yale Star Did Not Receive Cent For Services, Yet He
Was Branded a Professional Bacon and
Eggs, Evidence Against Him
By GRANTLAND RICE
We Wonder
Shakespeare never had to write
Stuff about a game;
Shakespeare never penned a fight
Or heard of WUlard's name;
ToUitig up tho meMc slope,
Always on the job,
Shakespeare never heard of "dope."
Never wrote of Cobb.
Shakespeare never Med to spin
Poems on Moran;
Xeier doped the Phils to win
From the Boston clan;
Shakesptare never saw a guv
"Soak one with the wood";
Who knowst Maybe that is why
His stuff.was pretty good.
A
AMATEUR, In this Jaunty Com
monwealth of ours, still appears to
be any guy who can get away with it.
Briefly, It isn't what you got but what
you can get by with that establishes
the amateur status In about nine cases
out of eleven.
The Case of Harry Legore
The case of Harry Legore and the four
other Yale athletes Is a striking example,
as some one has called it, of a similar
case before.
No one charges that Legore Is in any
sense a professional at heart. It isn't
charged that he received any money. He
merely received his board for a short
period until he discovered that he was
violating a university rule, and for the
rest of the period he paid his expenses
for the pleasure of playing a game he
liked.
Legore, knowing the ways of our ama
teur rule guardians, should have looked
more carefully Into details before he was
willing to accept an unpaid for strip of
bacon or a brace of eggs. He didn't so
he is a professional where others are
getting regular kale out of the game
through an athletic ability that makes
their written article worth while.
The Amateur Problem
We have been groping with this ama
teur problem for a long while without
getting anywhere with it.
Perhaps it is because we are handling
it in an amateur way, where It Is worth
the best services of a professional.
There have been any number of ama
teurs In this country In every line of sport
who have made money out of their ath
letic abilities out of their connection
with certain pastimes. Most of these are
still amateurs. And a good many of them
are among the best amateurs we have,
in so far as efficiency Is concerned.
In spite of which five Yale men are
branded as professionals, when they have
KRAUSE DEFEATS CAREY

Johnny Krause defeated Tommy Carey
by a wide margin In the main bout at the
Hunting Park Athletic Club last night.
Carey held his opponent to an even

it was easy salljng to victory for Krause.
During the contest the victor's punches
played havoc with his opponent's features,
for Carey's left ea.' was opened, while he

never received as much as 30 cents for

"We should have our amateur rules and
regulations patterned after the English
system," writes a contemporary scribe,
"where they have a well-established sys
tem." Quite so. As In the case of one of their
leading amateur golfers who receives
J.500 a year for playing with a certain
brand of golf ball.
There is also something to be said
against Legore and his four mates. Know
ing, as we remarked before, the Intricate
ways of our amateurism, they should have
made It their buMnena tn flnH m, i.it
what the rule was and then follow It, if i
they cared to play under a Yale flae. '
Cornell and Harvard
Cornell, under the instructorshlp of Al
Sharpe, has been coming forward more
rapidly In football than she has received
credit for.
Cornell hasn't yet reached the football
height that her track and crew legions
have gained, but she has been well upon
the way for some time. So Cornell on
Saturday has at least a healthy outside
chance to beat Harvard, and even if the
Ithacan invaders are repulsed, the battle
is almost sure to be a close one too close
for Crimson comfort. And If Cornell
should win, there would, of course, be no
Jubilation at allaround Ann Arbor, Mich ,
where Cornell comes later on for the big
home game of the Wolverine year.
These fellows wTio are getting soaked
for alleged professionalism should adopt
old Hughey Fullerton's system. "If they
paid me 10,000 a year for playing golf,"
says Hughey, "It wouldn't make me a
professional golfer. Nor any part of one."
Maxims of the Winter League
The magnate that keepeth his face
closed tightly from October to April Is
rarer than he that wlnneth a world series
The umpire may have no blissful ex
istence up to October, but we'd like to
trade Jobs with him now until April 14th.
Now comes along Prof. W. Trumbull,
who after looking up on two shots In suc
cession broke Into a plaintive melody en
titled "I didn't raise my head to be r
golfer."
"What Is the amateur system In this
country, anyway?" writes Ell '09. There
Isn't any. We have amateur rulea but no
amateur system,
A number of baseball magnates are
planning to visit Quogue, Long Island,
and discover the art of running a ball
club by merely paying two weeks upon
each athlete's board. The experiment
sounds like an Interesting one. ,
Quoth the Itaven "Lost Legore."

terlal when playing against a nock of 4
uuuo, uuc ii utn emus to make a goel
showing with an eleven that has tin
"goods." There Is some doubt as to the
class of Penn this year, but we venture
to state that It will not be steerage. Th
Bed and lUue has a chance this wtek,
and if ha. playing and good coachlm
will do anf good, some stilt opposition
will be put up by our local prides.
It is rumored that Pitt's defems It not
so strong as it might be. While In
teams have been able to gain contlttently
against the "Westerners, there It a belief
here that a fast backfield and a f.iri
strong line will be able to gain through "M
" lorwaroB. -enn has a goo4
backfield, the line probably will give a
good account of itself, and It is likely that
several gains will be made provided, ef
course, that the grandoldope doet not
slip a cog.
Gus Zlegler, the old Penn guard, b
lleves that Penn has a chance to "cod
from Pittsburgh. He admits that Pitt-
nas a strong orrcnslve team, but hat hi
doubts about the defense.
"Warner teaches his men to 'get tl
Dan ana Keep it, " says Zlegler. "Thli
might be all right for a time, but what
will happen If the team should happea
to lose the bail? Are the nlavers inffl-
clently trained in defensive tactics to holl fB
their opponents for downs and take th-.fJ
ball away from them? This system u i
similar to Hlnkey's theory at Tale last
year, which was to 'score twice as fast I,
as the other fellow.' You know whit v
happened to Old Ell In the Harvarl
game and what a narrow escape the
Blue had In the last quarter of tha
Princeton battle when the Tigers put oa
that sensational finish. Yale had no de
fense. "A team must be strong on the if
tense if It expects to win games. I to
not say that Pitt is weak in this de
partment, but I believe that the West
erners have not had enough opposltloa
to Bhow what they havo got. From B
I can learn. Warner has a powerful at
tack, his men aro the best Jnterferwi.
and tacklera In thn arcme today. M
this alone will not win. If Penn can fat
the ball and hold it for a time duri

lleve that the Bed and Blue will turprlM
