Expert Investigation of Athletic Conditions Necessary
to Save Game for Red and Blue Other
Sports Comment
FOOTUALIj affairs at the University of Pennnylvnnln. liavo reached such a
rrisls thnt Jierolc measures nro necessary If a solution Is to be foil nil that will
bo acceptable to tho stuilcnts, the alumni and the thousands nt HiHadclphlnns
who want to see the Quakers' regain their former Rrldlron supremacy. What
better method could ho found lo restore confidence and prevent tlio friction
which Is hound to follow the rather acrimonious contest now Ileitis wased to
eecuro control of the now board of directors than the appointment of a com
mltttco to Investigate tho entire football situation?
The ilppolnmcnt of Mich a committee, made up of men known to be capable
and Impartial, and not associated In any way with either the pn-senl football
reitlme or tho other element seeklns to Rain control, will save the situation.
That Is what Yale did tinder almost similar conditions, nml tho personnel of
tlie comni'tlce named eave suoli Instant reasslirnnco lo all Vale men that criti
cism of tho athletic authorities by the students and disaffection nmotiR tho
alumni ceased 1-,-dntitly.

A collision of some kind I. Imminent at Pennsylvania unless similar steps
nro talicn Doth factions tiro encaged In a deiorati! contest to pain a con
trolling Interest In the board of directors now being balloted for by it mall
vote and unless KomethliiB Is done to stop It the friction will be continued by
the light to sootiic control of the football Committee to bo natned by tho now
board and which will select tho new coach nml determine tho football policy.
Present System a Failure
There .no two facts which PeniiHylvunla's ntli'otli: authorities cannot afford
to Ignore. Olio Is that the present system has born a failure, In thnt It has
not made the best use of Its material. The other Is that there Is a deep-seated

Stuffy .Mclnnis Will Not Jump
A tcport from Chicago yesterday stated that .Stufty" .Mclnnis, the brilliant
first baseman of the Athletics, contemplated Jumping to the Whales. Just a
week ago Mclnnis, In a letter to the Evknixo I.kdoku, declatcd thut there Is
absolutely no chance for the Federal I.caguo to Induce him to leave the Ath
letics. Mclnnis stated thut he was hcriotlsly considering an offer from tho Newark
Feds In the middle of last season, but that, after thinking tho matter over, de
cided he owed his baseball success to Connlo Mack and would not desert him.
SInco the close of tho baseball season Mclnnis has received three offers from
tho Federal League, and although all were far In excess of anything ho has
ever drawn from the Mnckmen, "Stuffy" declares that he will remain with tho
Athletics as long as Connie Mack desires- to have him on the team.
t .
Dickered With the Feds
Last season Mclnnis was disappointed at tho showing of tho Athletics- and
because tho chnmplnnship team had been shot to pieces. Ills work In Hie t-nrly
part of tho season was excellent Individually, but of llttlo value to tho teum,
and the dickering with tho Federal League also had Its effect on his work.
After leaving tho team in miilscnson for two weeks, Mclnnis had a long
taik with Mack on his return, nnd from that time on played like the Mclnnis
o' old. At tho close of the season Mclnnis says ho announced to thu other
mchitteiu of tho team that he was going to remain loyal to the Athletics, as
ho was (Irmly convinced llmt Connlo Mnck would again havo a championship
team If tho men stuck together.
Predicts Championship Team
In his letter, Mclnnis saya: "You arc liable to hear a lot of rumors about
mo before the baseball season opens, but there Is not n chanco of me jumping
tho Athletics. 1 admit that I listened to them lnst summer and even contem
plated lint in;; thu Athletics, but I soon renlized that I owed everything to Con
nie JIacU. and 1 am with him as long as ho wants me.
Connie has always treated mo fair and square unil I believe he will always
lo do so. You can say for me that I will ho playing llrst base for tho
Athletu-, n eM season, regardless of what tho Feds offer, and 1 will play the
best ball ..f my career. Things were pretty much upset last season and I guess
my uil fell off a little, but watch me in 1916. AVo will havo a young team,
but K luiilvs good to me. It will only be a short time bcfiiro Connie will havo
nuuiber championship team."

One of the quickest and most effective methods of killing the boxing game
Js tlio institution of tho present plan of the New York Boxing Commission. This
body Is trying to devise a means to collect the State's sharo of the receipts, re
lieving the commission of that duty. It Is said that fight clubs In New York

and that It is impossible to collect the proper amount because the.ro are not

The remarkable feat of Alfred DeOro In running out his second suing of
60 points against KlecUhefer in 35 innings and In mailing ISO points in 145

on a par with WIUIo lloppe's famous 1Q0 average tor 500 points In a match
against George Button several years ago. Iloppe made his mark at tho height

The University of Syracuse football team finished its "Western Invasion yes

It was the third game played on the trip, and the New Yorkers won without

which could not be solved and put up a good defensive game,
Syracuse defeated the Oregon Aggies and playei a tie game with tho Uni

superiority of Eastern football over that played In the West and can be used as a
basis of comparison of the elevens playing In both sections.
