NEW ATHLETIC SYSTEM INAUGURATED AT COLUMBIA IN EVEftY BRANCH OP SPORTS1
FOOTBALL REVIVAL AT COLUMBIA
PUTS ALL SPORTS ON NEW BASIS
Inauguration of Successful System at New York Insti
tution Arouses Wonderful Athletic Spirit Har
vard, Despite Haughton, Adopts Numbering
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY'S football team promises to mnko over the wholo
athletic system nt Mornlngsldo Heights. At lonst, It will pump some lite
blood Into the other major sports, which have been In on nnemle condition
since 1905 when football pnssed out. Kcn with Its restricted schedule the
game will mako money, and Us surplus will bo sulllclcnt to finance baseball
nnd track athletics and probably remove some of the wrinkles from the fore
heads of the loyal graduates, who have been trying to find enough money to
keep the crew alive.
It Is hazardous to mako predictions, but If Columbia continues to build
on the sane foundation laid last spring her football team may bo looked for
In tho front rank when the five years of probation arc up. During that
period Columbia Is forbidden to play Harvard, Yule, Pennsylvania, l'rlnce
ton or Cornell. At tho end of this term Columbia should emerge with a team
nnd system as well grounded as when tho game was abolished by Presi
dent Utltlcr.
Columbia Has Started With the Klght System
The now system which Columbia Is Installing Is bound to be successful.
It Is something now In tho Kast, but It has been worked out successfully
In tho West. Jletcalf, tho present conch. Is u Columbia student, although h"
played football nt Oberlln College In Ohio. Tho host feature of the system
Is tho fact that tho assistant coaches and trainer ale part of tho university's
gymnastic force.
This brings football directly under tho control of the university and pro
vides a training system which has made good at several of the Western
universities, notably Chicago and Wisconsin. Tho man In charge of the
physical condition of tho team Is atwehed to the department of physical
education, lie Is not a trainer, such as most of the other llastern univer
sities have, but a qualified physician. This Is the same system that Dr.
It. Halt McKenzle, head of Pennsylvania's department of physical education,
proposes to give the Quakers within another year.
Tho game has already proved immensely popular In New York, nnd with
a stadium such ns a. wealthy alumnus promises to start with n fund of
$100,000 Columbia will lmvo plenty of teams from which to pick her op
ponents five years hence when she Is prepared to take on tho big elevens.
Harvard Falls in Line on Numbering Players
Harvard has decided to number Its players In the Princeton game, accord
ing to Information from Huston. If the report Is true there will bo still
greater Interest In this battle, as tho steadfast refusal of the Harvard authori
ties to consider their patrons has caused considerable feeling against tho
Crimson.
Early in tho season Harvard was asked to number Its players, but Conch
Haughton refused to permit It and gavo out u remarkable Interview on tho
subject. Tho Crimson tutor declared that football was a college game, and
tho persons who supported tho gnmo were not entitled to consideration.
Couch Haughton Takes Foolish Stand
In view of tho fact that the Harvard-Yale, Harvard-Princeton nnd
Princeton-Yule games attract from 40,000 to 05,000 spectators, anil enrich the
Harvard Athletic Association to such nn extent that Its athletics are placed
on a higher plane, Haughton's statement naturally drew a storm of protest
even from tho Crimson followers. No doubt this one speech .by Haughton
aid more toward having the athletic association give In to tho public demand
than anything else.
If Harvard numbers Its players In tho gnmo with Princeton It Is almost
certain that tho numerals will be worn In tho Yalo game. The greatest
drawback to tho Yale-Harvard gnmo, which was attended by 65,000 spec
tators last season, was tho absence of means to Identify the players, and
i imnn,y football enthusiasts who attended that game Insisted that they would
never try to see another unless the players were numbered.
Princeton was one of the first Eastern Institutions to adopt this system
nnd has been well pleased with the result. The Tigers Intend to wear num
bers even If Harvard and Yale should switch their plans and refuse to concede
this point to Princeton.
Mollwitz, of Heds, Made Great Itecord As First Baseman
When baseball fans are discussing the great lieldlng first basemen of
ie gamo they invariably will talk of McGlnnls, Chase, Daubert. Konetcliy
ind almost all of them but Fred Mollwitz, the lanky Cincinnati youngster.
Tho fielding statistics for the past teason, however, hhow thut the Redleg
made one of the1 greatest records ever complied by a first baseman.
Jlollwltz .finished the senson with n percentage of .993 for H3 games,
which Is tho best mark ever made, except that of Frank Chance in 1910, when
tho Cub loader's average was .990; but he played In only 78 game3. Tho
wonderful improvement in Jlollwltz's all-round work has boosted the Cin
cinnati .Infield, nnd with four great pitchers In Toney, Dale, Schneider and
McIMlory, Herzog Is likely to keep tho
can land a second baseman.
Family of Poes Won Fame for Princeton
Tho nume of Johnny I'oe, killed In Northern Franco -while fighting for
he British nrmy, will never die In tho memory of Prlncetonlnns. Ho was
Bjio first of the noted family to gain
iromlnence In 1S91, when he ran 60 yards
'Penn. In the Yale games ho also did
tho job when an opponent fumbled tho ball. He was responsible for Prlnco
ton's victory In 1893. i
Johnny Poe was tho originator of tho famous "Poe luck" at Princeton,
and his brotlier Arthur followed In his footsteps. In 1S98 the younger brother
recovered a fumble and ran 100 yards for n touchdown, winning the game, nnd
In 1899 he kicked a goal from the field In the last minutes of the game, putting
the Tigers in the lead by a ll-to-10 score.
Eastern Basketball Itace Starts Tonight
The Eastern League basketball season will open tonight, when Do Neri
meets Reading at Reading. Judging by the form of the teams In practice,
Reading la In better shape, but local fans are confident that Dudley's team
will give the "Bears" a hard fight. Interest In the Eastern League race
appears to be lacking. Perhaps tho fiasco last season is responsible for this
apparent lack of Interest, or it may bo that football Is responsible.
Schuylkill Runners Strike Snatr in Practice Work
One of the greatest Thanksgiving Day sports events hero will bo marred
unless, tho Schuylkill Navy authorities receive permission to practice after
dark for the annual cross-country run. This race has been an annual affair
for tho members of tho various boat clubs on River Drive for more than 20
years, but recently the Parle Commissioners Issued an order that all running
in the park must take place befoio dark, declaring It dangerous and an inter
ference with traffic.
Acting upon statements to tho effect that the oarsmen would bo allowed
to run nfter dark, provided they stuck to xhe walks and turf and kept off the
roadways, several men attempted to train Thursday night, but were ordered
to cease under threat of arrest.
Small Favor That Park Commission Should Grant
As almost every man entered In the race Is in a business which prevents
Mm training through tho day, tho race will be far below the usual standard
unless permission can be obtained to practice In the evenings.
Commodore Jtalloy, of the Schuylkill Navy, has been delegated by the
oarsmen to try to Induce the authorities to allow the men to practice. The
runners Insist that it Is only necessary to cross two roadways over the
entire course, and promise that they will exercise caution In crossing both.
It appears that the concession asked is of small Importance to the Park
Commissioners and of vital concern to the runners and could easily be granted.
Status of Scholastic Football Players in Question
Scholastic football authorities should investigate the return of Fred Henry
from Mercersburg to Central High School before allowing him to compete
against West Phllly and Northeast High School elevens in the big games of
tho season. The fact that Henry left Central High and entered Mercersburg
thould make him inellglblo for competition for the present season.
Jt is said that four other Mercersburg football stars left school along with
Henry after the game with Penn Fresh on Saturday. If such Is the case,

stronger than lis Main Lino rivals, Gil

run for a touchdown.
For the rest of the season Episcopal
will be without tho services of Apple

little halfback, nnd Hamilton, tho best
defensive player In the Episcopal line.
All of these men are Ineligible for compe

games, whUii stnrt next Friday.
Applegate, who was the star of the vic

He was a member of the graduating class
lust year, but returned for a post-graduate
course; while Bunn nnd Hnmllton

barred from Interacndemic Leaguo games.
Tho victory yesterday was duo largely
to the brilliant individual work of this
trio nnd Stewart's clever punting and
bundling of kicks. Applegate's work In all
departments was good. He ran tho team
In faultless style, was the largest ground
gnlner of tho day and backed up the lino
In grand style, making half tho tackles
on secondary defense.
Episcopal was outweighed by St. Luke's,
but was a smoother team. They handled
the ball better at nil times and appeared

son. On a delayed pass from Brook,
Sargent broko through Hunt, shook olf
Applegate, Buna and Dickson, who had
clean tackles at him, and then outraii
Stewart to the goal line. He carried tho
ball C5 ynrds.
In nil other departments, excepting gen
eralship, Sargent was a star. With Sax
man he did almost nil of the defensive
work for his tenm. Saxman's work at end
was by far better than any locnl wins
men have shown to date. A continuation
of tho same form probably will earn him
first choice on the all-Intcrncadcmlc
eleven.
Episcopal scored first when Brooko
fumbled tho ball after being thrown jiiot
outside end. The ball took one bop
stinlght Into Applegate's hands as bo was
coming up to back the line. Ho had u liv
ing stnrt beforo the St. Luke luds knew
what had happened, nnd ho easily out
distanced tho field. St. Luko's had the
ball on Eplscopal's 30-yard line nt tho
time and wns apparently duo to score,
but this mlsplny took much of tho fight
out of aillender's team.
After Sargent's long run St. Luke's
took heart again, but Eplscopal's defense
tightened up nnd Its goal line never was
threatened during the balance of tho
gnme. On the other hand. Episcopal had
tho ball in St. Luke's territory during tho
greater part of tho Inst half nnd once
In tho first half lost a touchdown because
Bight End Prlco slipped ns ho was about
to catch a forward pass over the goal
line.
Neither tenm displayed much ability In
handling or throwing forward passes. St.
Luke's worked the play successfully
once for nn 18-yard gain on a short pass
over the centre of tho scrimmage line,
while Episcopal gained live and eight
ynrds on two short passes. In tho clos
ing minutes of play each team tried for
ward passes whenever they had tho ball,
but all were grounded or Intercepted.

MEN IN GOOD SHAPE
By "VINCE" STEVENSON
1'ilnceton Is going to enter tho big gamo
of tho your with Harvard a favorite, and
this might t.iov.' i veiy thing that will!
send tho TigeM
down to defeat. If
Princeton enters
this game ovcr
i onlldent, as It ap
puiently will, It Is
1 kely to moot
with u great sur
inlsc, as It will
he n different
ILirvaid team
than tho o n o
hlch met Cor
i. M Inst week.
Cornell's victory
cr llnivard was
luun cut and de
served, and on
what the two
t e a m s have
i-hou'n to date tho
tthaenns could
probably repeat
later In the sea-
VINL'U" SfUVKNHON son, but that Is
not nltcilng the fuct that Harvard was
hanC -apped greatly by tho absence of
Enwrlght and McKllntock. These men
are not only great Individual stars, but
they nro a necessity to Captain Mahan.
The latter was oft-foim In tho gamo
with Cornell, his fumbling of punts be
ing largely responsible for tho defeat.
Lack of protection by tho back, who
should have picked oft the first end down
the field, was undoubtedly tho cause of
seveial of theso fumbles, because Mahan
was paying too much attention to the
Cornell ends and not enough to the ball.
If Enwrlght had been back with Mahan
receiving kicks It Is likely that tho bril
liant Cornell ends would havo had plenty
of trouble picking Mahan oft beforo ho
wns under way, as was the case In al
most every Instanco when tho Crimson
captain did handle a kick cleanly.
Enwrlght has not shown much offen
slvely yet, ns Injuries havo held him
back; but on defense and Interference ho
lias been n by far moro valuable man
than is generally believed. Enwrlght Is
one of thoso players, very much like
Eddie Greene, of our 190MS05 teams at
Penn. Ho never starred In the open, but
he wns always doing wonderful work on
defense and Interfering which mude It
possible for others to get Into the lime
light. Enwrlght could probably havo gotten
Into the Cornell game, but Coach
Haughton feared another Injury, which
would keep his star out of the game
against Princeton, and as this game Is
looked upon as by for moro important
to tho Crimson, Haughton took that one
defeat In preference to Injuring En
wrlght. The former Exeter star Is In
good shape now, and Princeton Is duo to
havo plenty of trouble with him.
While McKllntock Is not as powerful
ns Enwrlght, be Is a high-class back,
one who has no apparent weakness, and
he Is a very necessary part of tho Crim
son backneld. Take two stars out of any
backfleld, and the team will not look so
good, and Harvard will he by far strong
er for Princeton than It was for Cornell.
There Is an air of confidence in the
Tiger camp which Is likely to bo carried
too far, Tho Princeton team has come
along so swiftly that th. men are likely
to suffer from overconfldence, unless
Coach Rush's men change their Ideas
nbout their own nblllty. The best thing
that could happen to the Tigers Is a
close game with the weak Williams
eleven tomorrow. This would awaken
the men to the fact that they are not
Invincible.

By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
It la seldom tl -t a schoolboy Uktj It
upon himself to defeat a visiting fool
ball team, but "By" Wharton did lh.
very thing against Germantown Ac.d!
emy nt Chestnut Mill yesterday. Mr
Wharton, a husky youngster who tip th
scales nt 130 pounds when he U abort
weight, gave a big lcaguo exhibition b,
foio a largo and enthusiastic audlenc
of home folk. IIo scored five ot th iir
touchdowns nnd kicked four goal, tntS

something. Whenever a touchdown

Chestnut Mill has a very good teaia
this year nnd thero nro other stars bo
sldes Wharton. Captain Loranger play
a brilliant game and Ellas Stewart and
Graham nro players of high calibre. Tho
team gets together In flno shape nnd all
of tho plays are run off smoothly.
Conch Dickens' methods aro largely re
sponsible for tho success of the cloven.
Dickons believes In simplified football,
nnd for fcchoolboy teams this la the bct
system to follow. If the boys are taught
to carry tho ball, block. Interfere, tackle
and work ns n unit, better results will
bo obtained than If they practice difficult
formations, trick plays and other thing
that genernlly aro messed up when they
aro tiled In tho games.
Chcvfnut Mill knows how to block and
Interfere better than any prep school
team I have seen hero In years. This Is
tho strongest part of their game, and
Wharton Is wcli taken caro of every time
ho tnkos tho ball. Tho players also know
bow to tackle and block, and there were
few fumbles during tho game. Dlcken
has the right system, and other prep
school coaches would do well to follow
his methods.
But Germantown, although outclassed
and outplayed at the start, deserves all
kinds of credit for their showing. Any
bunch of schoolboyR Is likely to become
demoralized when tho opponents pile up
31 points In the first half, but few will
come back In the second half and play
tho leaders olf their feet. This was done
by Coach Sutton's players. Captain Lamb
got Into the game, desplto his injuries,
and tarried Oio kick-off to Chestnut Hill's
S."-yard UncA Germantown then Btarted
down the Held for n score, but a fumble
ruined her chances.
As tho team was all shot to pieces
through Injuries In the last week, a sub
stitute quarterback was used and fum
bling wns frequent. Yet despite these
handicaps Germantown fought harder
than ever and did not slow up for an
instant. It wns a plucky, losing battle,
nnd the loyal rooters havo Just cause to
bo proud of their team.
Swmthmoro Prep handed Penn Charter
a perfectly good trimming at Queen Lane
In ono of the best games played this sea
son. The preps scored all of their points
In the second period through the terrific
Hno-plunglng of Johnson, and Penn Char

stanza. It was a hard-fought battle and
the score represents tho Btrcngth of the
two teams.
Johnson, who plays tackle for Swarth
moro and also captains the team, was the
hero, star nnd big nolso of tho nfternoon.
This husKy young man was called back
to carry the ball, and ho always was
good for a gain. He stood 5 yards back
of the lino of scrimmage and Just waded
through the opponents any old time h

It wonderfully. Coach Wlllard Tomllnson
