YALE COMMITTEE LIKELY
TO FOLLOW SUGGESTION
MADE BY TOM SHEVLIN
Those in Charge of Selecting- Football Coaches
May Appoint "Tad" Jones and Mike
Sweeney to Positions
TOM SHKVUN'S spirit is still working for the betterment of athletics nt Yale.
The great end contracted the cold from which he later died while serving his
Alma Mater on tho gridiron In tho capacity of football coach. That same will
which knew no defeat and that samo spirit of willingness to go to the irscui In
time of need is working out a brighter future for Yale football In particular and
athletics in general,
Shovlln was a strong believer In the ability of Alike Sweeney, lie had also
remarked on more than one occasion that direct cottttol of football by "Tad"
Jones would put Ynle on tho gridiron map once more. It now appeals that the
committee In charge of selecting n coach Is on the crge of selecting these two
mert. SJnce the closo of the disastrous season of 1315, .loliuuy Kllpatrlek, Hrlnk '
Thome and Vance McC'ormlck have been searching for a man to dlicct Ihe policy I
of the football team. Those men were selected because they arc advocates of a
one-man system and because the Yale athletic authorities were convinced that ,
tho choice of that trio would nut only bo sound from a football standpoint, but
would be a popular one with Yale students and alumni because or tho commit teo's
own high standing in the eyes of alt those connected with the N'cvv Haven InslI- ,
tutlon.
d'cneral Athletic Policy of Ynle Changed
Not only Is there to be u general shift In tho football policy at Ynle, but the
entire athletic situation Is likely to undergo n complete rot talon, t'resltlelitl
Arthur T. Ilndley realizes that something must be.done to do nway with "lnslilo
conflicts" and the petty prejudices which are the root of tho present athletic
evils.
In iccent address President Ilndley outlined n plan for the betlctnient of
Yale athletics. Tho most Interesting poi lions of this speech follow :
"In the old times Yale's system was one of student management. This was
tho best system when It was practicable: hut it wim practicable only when stu
dents would take advice of graduates with regard to pioblems of permanent
policy, and particularly those problems which affected our dealings with other
Institutions.
"Ah long as our graduate advisers were hiitmouiuus, and uh long as wo had
a targe share of athletic success, this system winked well. The students saw
What wus good advice and would follow It as a matter of coilise. Wc had all the
advantages of student autonomy and none of its disadvantages. Hut when
graduates disagree and falluio took the place of success the students did not
know whom to follow, and no continuity of policy was possible. Arrangements
made during ono year were llnhW to bo tescnted or upset during the next.
"Under these circumstances the corporation has, as it wcte, put the athletic
authority Into tho hnnds of receivers Mr. Corwln, Oeorgc Day mid Mr. Ilobson
who nrc to act as advisers to the corporation until we can work out a now
constitution which shall avoid tho defects of the old.
"Just what that constitution will bo like wc cannot as jet tell, but 1 hope
that we shall find It possible to abandon the old Idea of a mixed committee of
graduates and undergraduates to divide responsibility and arrange to localize
responsibility where It belongs, giving the students the utmost freedom In every
thing which falls within the limits of a single year, and providing for graduate
committees whoso work shall be authoritative la matters of permanent policy."

UfllT now Joe Loomls, of the Chlcaso
Newman's Victory No Wonderful Achievement
New York writers, without exception, assert that William Newman's
racquets victory over Jock Soutnr, the young professional of tho Philadelphia.
Racquet' Club, was a wonderful achievement. There is no denying Newman's
preat ability to play racquets, but nt the Mime time the handicap, ono hand,
given the New York professional by Soutar, was enough In Itself to practically
put tho Fhlladelphlan out of the running.
A one-hand handicap at racquets is equivalent to bUIiik a lawn tennis player
four chances at service instead of two. Consequently. It Is not difficult to see
how a man who plays a really clever and consistent fjamo would he aide to win
over any player, regardless of his rating. Soutar did not play his usual game
owing to the fact that he has Just recovered from a severe illness. Nevertheless,
it was tho handicap, not lack of condition, that caused his defeat nt the profes
sional tournament in New York city Saturday.
Service and Lojalty No Longer Count
Evidently long service and unwavering loyalty to organized baseball aro no
longer factors In assisting veterans to retain positions on tho clubs for which
they have worked for years. H.-c-imhau, faithful to organized baseball, will bo
ousted In favor of Joe Tinker, the man who really made the Federal a dangeious
foo to the majors; Klclder Jones will supplant Branch Itickcy; Uenny Kauft will
get a position In the Giants' outfield fiom some one who was true to the colors
of organized baseball, and now John Hummell, for 10 years a major leaguer, has
been released by tho Brooklyn National League club.
Tho excuse given for Hummoll's release was that the National League would
carry only 20 men in 1D1. If that Is the ease, the vast army of unemployed
baseball talent will have a hard tight to get positions that will earn them a
livelihood, to say nothing of the luxury to which they havo been accustomed
when traveling with a major league club.
Lon Jourdct Has Developed Great Quintet
For the first time In many years the students at tho University of Penn
sylvania are taking real interest In basketball. The true advocates of tho game
must thank Lon Jourdct, former Red and Blue basketball and football star, for
this unexpected condition of affairs.
Penn students differ in no wise from students in other educational Institu
tions and from tho average baseball fan. They want a wlnne. mid they will
not root ror a perpetual loser. Jourdet has risen to tho occasion and hns devel
oped a team that should capture the pennant in tho Intercolkginte Basketball
League, provided lie can keep his present team Intact.
The lightness of the Penn players is the ono serious drawback to the chances
for a complete success on the basketball court this season. While, Penn has
shown far more speed and all-around basketball ability than tho opponents
she- has met thus far, tho grind of the season may wear down some of the players
to such an extent that either they will not be able to play their game or they
will have to be replaced by less able substitutes.
Ponn'a victories over Cornell, Princeton and Dartmouth and her close contest
with Yalo at New Haven have doubled the number of Bed and Blue cage fol
lowers already. The crowd at the game with Dartmouth Saturday evening at
Welghtman Hall was one of the largest, that ever attended the game, and tho
way In which the students pulled for the victory Indicates that there is still a
lot of spirit at Penn, although it has been latent for years.
Keady Will Again Handle Lehigh Eleven
The defeat at the hands of Lafayette In the annual football game has
been forgotten at Lehigh and the South Bethlehemites are looking forward to
next year. Tom Keady, a popular Idol at Lehigh because of tho excellent
teams he turned out In the last four years, was "In bad" after the defeats
at the hands of State. Lafayette and W. and J but all has been forgotten,
and he has signed to coach the eleven again next fall at an Increased salary.

Fans Hope O'Brien Wins Decisively From Welsh
Freddie Welsh, lightweight running champion, will be given another chance
to prove to the fistic fans hereabouts that he Is a fighter and'not a dancer.
He has been matched to meet Young Jack O'Brien at Norrlstown In a 10.!
round bout on February 8.
A large crowd of local fans will Journey to Norrlstown In hopes of seeing
the champion defeated decisively. It is nothing new for Welsh to lose, but the
boxing enthusiasts hope to see O'Brien hurt him.
Albright College had a poor enough team last fall, even with the great
Benfer In the game. Next fall It will not have Benfer. and Is scheduled
to rneet Rutgers, Bucknell and Lehigh In succession, Albright has an odd

ainund Indoor athletes. J. omnia, In fact, Is
more sought after by managers of indoor

man. This Is because ho Is n star of
tho first magnitude In three events
sprints, high Jump mid hurdles.
In tho sprints l.oomli will compete
against Howard Drew, the former Spring

world's championship; In the high Jump
his opponents will bo Wesley Oler, Ynlo

meet any mnii who conies along.
The crs.itility of this youth Is won
derful, more so because of his peculiar
build He is very thin nnd tall, standing
6 feet - inches In height Ho hns per
haps the longest stride ever known in a
sprinter. That and his elongated build
have won for htm tho nnmc of "tho

man of his extreme height who has ever
made good us an Indoor sprinter. As a
rule such great height mnkes a man

Howard Drew Is a colored man and so
is Buy Morse, of Brooklyn, tho latter
