"KID" KEINATH SAYS PRESENT RULES HAVE RUINED INTERCOLLEGIATE BASKETBALL
COLLEGE BASKETBALL DEAD
ISSUE, BECAUSE OF CHANGE
IN RULES, SAYS KEINATH
Tampering With Code by Directors With
Playing- Inexperience Has Made Cage Game
Slow and Uninteresting
CIlARLKViKElNATH, known ns "Kid" when he wnsn tnr nt Venn nml one nf
the few nthletcs to piny on the foothitll, Imsetinll nml basketball teams nt u
largo university. njH basketball l n ilcnit Issue as fnr ns the ltitcrcolloKlate
Bame In concerned. Ho says that tampering with the rules by those who havo
bail little actual playing experience has ohanBeil the same from n sensational
nml Interesting sport from a spectator's standpoint to a stow utul uninteresting
pttHtlmc.
Kclnnth was one of the greatest basketball players In the history of the
game when ho was In his prime. He was easily the greatest of collegiate play
ers nml was one nf the few who have played Intercollegiate rules who t'oilhl
go Into the regular cage game as played by the IJastcrn League without losing
his effectiveness.
As n dribbler bis equal bus never been seen In the Kant unit he would prob.
nbly have Joined the professional ranks If bis eyes hint not gone back tin him
na he Was offered n contract for the largest amount ever played to a basketball
player, bariing the one Harry Hough signed with the Southslde team of Pitts,
burgh In the otil Western Pennsylvania League.
Iveinnlh Also Hellcvcs Pitt Was Stronger Than Cornell
Willie in n fanning mood, Kcinath stated that It was bis opinion that Vltt's
football team would have beaten Cornell had the two teams mot when both
were In top. notch condition. As n scout for Pcnil, Kcinath followed Pitt for
throo weeks and then spent two weeks at lthncu looking Cornell over, and had
nn excellent line on both.
Pitt's offense was balanced better than Cornell's, according to Kcinath, and j eft
no believes thai Warners ends nml tackles were strung enough to linvo troubled
Jlarrett. Keluath believes the Pitt secondary defense was iilio so strong that
Barrett's gains would not have been great even It he got mound an end or out
alde tackle. Needless to say, few critics agree with Kcinath.

Posters Doost Hill Hollcnback
Tho most remarkable event connected with the football history nt Pennsyl
vania was tho circulation of posters throughout the city, and particularly nbout
tho campus and fraternity houses at Venn, boosting Hill Hollcnback for head
coach of the Varsity eleven for 1316. In heavy type, the poster states that tbero
aro six reasons why the old regime which has controlled football at Venn for
years does not wnnt Hollenbnck appointed to the position.
Just whore tho posters camo from nobody seems to know, but their publi
cation has caused great excitement among the students and nlumul. It Is said
that n committee of undergraduates who are in favor of giving tho younger
generation n chance to pull Venn out of tho football rut had caused the posters
to be published.
Kverjone knows Charley White's left
hook Is the best of I's kind In the gnme
today, and that It has been the Chi
cagonti's chief asset In his ring battles
the Inst two jcars. Vet Left-hook
Challey now comes 4o the front with the
dcelnratlrn that he will whip Chninpiou
T'red Welsh with his light hand when
they clash In their proposed cnainplon
ship mix.
Thotmh most fans may be Inclined lo
think While is chattering through his
hut, there Is J'ist a ehntiee tlint his words
will come true. White, In hli own way,
Is the inltaelu man of pugilism. Less
than llitce years iiro Charley could not
knock aiiyrmc'rf lint off. lie wis an out
and out pailor t.ipe boxer. Now he la
giving CicniKc Cliiine ii bard sun for the
"Knockout King" moniker.
If While could cliaiiRC himself com
pletely from a boxer lo a puncher, Isn't It
reasonable lo believe that he inlitlit be
able to tiring the efficiency of his rlnht
ban I up to the standaid of that noted
Welsh Mlrtml) has provul that lie
has a defense for a southpaw wallop.
Cl'.irley was uniiulo to ienc.li the cham
pion In their recent 10-rotiml match In
New York.
White's left wallop referred to as the
perfect punch Is delivered vli n ipilck,
shot hook with a downward snap of the
wrist at tho Instant of landing. This
blow docs not play a big part In his
contests with shifty footers. Practically
alt of his speetncul.ir work has been done
In liouts nlth rugged mixers, who aro
none too licet of foot.
Any boxer with a good left hand Is
hard to reach with a rislit, but Just tha
same While's ih.inces against Welsh
would be doubled if he were to develop a
ilght-hnt'd punch to accompany his won
derful left.
Opinion Differs as to Effect of Remarkable Poster.
Just what effect the remarkable and unusual procedure will have on tho j
coming elections Is not known. Some of the students nnd alumni eligible to
vote think that It will clinch the election of Hollenbnck to tho board of di
rectors of the Athletic Association, which will virtually assure him tho head
If coaching position next fall, while others are Inclined to believe thnt tho Impres-
L Blon will be General that Hollcnback caused the posters to bo circulated and will
hurt his chance.
The following Is the poster, which speaks for Itself:
"Six reasons why the present football regime does not want 'BIHV Hollcn
back for hend coach: I
"1. 'Hill' Hollenbnck will not be dictated to on the football Held. I
"2. 'Itlll' Holleuhack makes his team up from players, not friends.
"3. Vennsylvanla first, social privileges second. !
"4. 'Hill' Holleuhack would bo too busy coaching n winning team to olll
clate at other games.
"5. 'Hill' stands on merit not tradition; what do you stand on?
"6. 'Hill' Hollenbnck stands for the regeneration of athletics at Vennsyl
vanla. "If you have mislaid your ballot get a new one nt the A, A. otllce, Rut
vote."
Are Pitchers Hall Players? They Don't Act the Part
Is a pitcher a ball player? This question will make an interesting subject
for discussion. If records anil general actions prove- anything, 'JO per cent, of
tho pitchers In the major leagues aro not ball player. Tho majority cannot
hit, run bases, and many cannot even field their own positions. There nre, of
course, exceptions to the rule, as Walter Johnson, Joo Wood, Alexander, Otis
Crandall nnd a few others have proven. They are often used as pinch hitters
nnd all of them are great llelders but slow on the bases. Apparently there Is
no reason for this lack of general ability of pitchers, unless It fs due to tho
failure of hurlcrs to get Into the game regularly.
Strangely enough, some of baseball's greatest all-round stars started their
baseball enreers as pitchers. Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb. Hobby Wallace, Hal Chase,
Jesse Ilurkett, Jimmy Callahan nnd a host of others had pitching ambitions
until a manager discovered that they were too vnluablo to have sitting on tho
bench four or live days a week. The great exception to tho rulo Is tho collegian.
Invariably the pitcher in a college ball team Is the greatest all-round player.
Ebbetls Will Probably Cause Later Daseball Start
President Charles Ebbetts, of the Brooklyn National League Club, wants
the major league teams to open tho season one week Inter than usual. Kbbctts
argues that April 19 would bo a moro suitable opening day, with fewer days oft
during the playing season, and that this program would bo a good one for base
ball In general. Ebbetts Is likely to find many supporters In the coming Na
tional League meeting, as cold weather has marred opening day games, particu
larly in the West, for several seasons.
As Ebbetts is a member of the schedule committee of tho two major leagues,
he Is likely to curry his point. Barney Dreyfuss, of the Vlrates, favored a later
start last season, but Ebbetts was one of those who voted down tho proposition.
The edge was taken off the Dodgers' opening last season by the cold weather
and Ebbetts quickly changed his mind.
Georgetown Made a Great Record on the. Gridiron
Georgetown's greut gridiron record In the South has been generally over
Jooked because of tho brilliant season Virginia enjoyed and the fact thnt tho
latter beat Ynlo and played Harvard to a close game, In which the Crimson
tailed to cross the goul lines. Georgetown, in its first season under Al Kxen
dlne, the great Indian end of a few years ago. had its strongest team in years
and completed its schedule with but two defeats charged against It.
Princeton was going at its best when It trimmed Georgetown. 13 to 0. while
the Washlngtonlans blamed the 10-to-0 defeat at the hands of West Point to
the slippery condition of the field which prevented Gllroy from performing his
usual open-field stunts. Tho latter was the unanimous choice of all critics for
a halfback with Mayer, of Virginia, at tho other half, on the All-Southern
eleven and is looked upon as a better back than Harry Costello, Geprgetown's
sensation of a few years ago. Incidentally Princeton nnd Army were the only
teams which scored on Georgetown while 284 points were scored.
Spears' Ineligibility Recalls Marks Case at Dartmouth
The ineligibility of Spears, the great Dartmouth guard, for next season,
recalls the case pf Juck Marks, the Green's fullback of 1907, 1308 and 1909, who
was elected captain for 1910 but was barred because ho had played several
Barnes with South Dakota before entering the Hanover institution. The differ
ence In the two cases Is that Spears went to the faculty and told them he had
played with Knox College, of Galesburg, III., white Marks tried to conceal his
guilt.
Harvard to Drop State From Its Schedule for Roughness
Harvard has decided to drop Penn State and Brown from its schedule, ac
cording to n ti"nni'ial announcement made by one of the members of the Crim
son football committee. State Is being dropped because of "rough tactics," ac
cording to the same uuurce of information. After reading reports of the Har-vard-Htute
game, one -would be Inclined to believe that State was the victim
of the "rough tactics."
SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS
There Is an American boing cham
pionship In good lepalr waiting for a
claimant to piove his claim. Willie

Itoh Volwell have turned out great tenms
nt State and .Washington nnd Jefferson,
but the record of Sommer nt llerccrsburg,
Colgate and Vlllanovn compares favorably
with that of either.
The unustinl part of Rommer's record Is
that lie has never lost n big gnme nnd
has never had nn assistant to help him.

he wns moved lo the bncklleld.
At I'tnn Sommer wns tried nt centre
hi his (list season, but his great line
plunging niul secondary defense piny
caused Coach Smith to switch hint to the
brickfield. Hy playing so many different
positions, Sommer acquired quite a great
denl of knowledge nbout how each should
be played.
This early education proved a great
thing for Sommer, for without It he would
not have been nble to coanh the line, ends
nnd hncMlclil without aid nnd turn out

Sommei's first coaching position wns nt

The majority of men like to "beat the game" in
some way they like to realize that they have gotten
values in addition to the values they paid for.
And that's why we usually give a financial slant to
oui publicity because we know that our promise of
superlative values at the lowest of prices will bring
more people into our stores.
And the great majority come in attracted by
price but all go away amazed by the dazzling array of
quality that they have seen.
For, by acting as a big clearing-house for forty of
the most celebrated tailoring firms in the country, we
can assure you that our stock is composed of the finest
garments made and every one at 50 7 of the usual
