PENN MAY OUST
PRINCETON FROM
RUNNING TONIGHT
Victory for Red and Blue
Will Virtually Decide Col
lege Championship
The outcome of tho Princeton-Pennsylvania
Intercolleelato Basketball Leaptue
contest In Princeton this evening Is await
ed earjerly by the followers of collcBlato
basketball. Tho same mny not decldo tho
Intercollegiate championship, but It will
have an Importnnt bearing on tho final
outcomo. If Pcnnsylxanla wins the con
test, Princeton will bo eliminated from
the race, but if Princeton wins and the
Tigers haven't lost a gamo on tho homo
floor this season they will bo only a half
game behind tho wearers of tho Ited and
Bluo.
To many, Prlncoton looks like tho best
team In tho league. Tho Tigers will havo
threo games to play after tonight's en
counter with Dartmouth and Yalo at
homo and Cornell away. Princeton should
win tho two games nt home. Pennsyl
vania will havo Yalo and Cornell to play,
tho latter team at Ithaca. Here Is where
Cornell comes In The Ithacans ha
flvo games yet to play and four of them
are at home. Tho only gamo away Is
with Columbia, nnd Cornell should win
that.
If Princeton can beat Pennsylvania to
night Cornell can win the championship
by winning Its remaining games, for
Pennsylvania nnd Princeton play In
Ithaca during the first week In March.
This would be quite a feat for Cornell to
accomplish after losing Its first two
games of tho year, but It Is something
that Is likely to happen
But If Princeton can put over a vic
tory tonight tho best that Cornell would
bo able to do with Penn would be a tie,
and that would mean a series of games
to decldo the championship. Pennsyl
vania will win or glvo tho Tigers a bat
tle they will never forgot. Tho teams will
line up In this manner:

CHAPLIN SIGNS FOR
A MERE HALF MILLION
Puts His Nome to a Mutual
Contract for His Future
Work
By the I'hotorlay Editor
After all the negotiations, counter-negotiations,
champagno suppers and "rurit
Ing," It seems that Charlie Chnplln, with
his justly celebrated walk and his fre'
quently featured kick, will hereafter be
exclusively shown on Mutual films. Such
announcement was mado quietly but def
initely yesterday. The contracts. It Is ns
Bcrted, were signed Saturday. They pro
ldo for a bonus of $100,000 to Chaplin,
with or without his rmistache, $10,000 n
week snlary and a percentage Interest In
tho business. Tho money Is to bo paid
tomorrow.
It was Henry Clay who said, ho would
rather be right than President. Almost
any one would rather bo Chaplin than
President when emoluments aro consid
ered. , .
Chnplln Is to havo a special company
organized for him by tho Mutual nnd his
brother, Pld Chaplin, also nn ngllo figure
In motion pictures. Is to bo a member of
It. What price fori the brother Is not
stated. Tho .Mutual Company has atready
npplled for an Insurance of $250,000 on
tho new star.
Chaplin has monkeyed with Beveral
companies before lid finally was landed.
He was a llttlo too high In tho air to suit
either tho Fox Corporation or mo ,s
sanny. Ileal ly, tho gentloman Bocms to
know ho Is worth money and proceeds to
nnk .1 , ... J. u
Poor Charlie lie has been killed by
rumors more times than tho Kaiser or the
Crown Prince. For weeks nftcr tho

there were rumors In every newspaper of'
flco that ho had met n violent dcatll wniie
performing for tho rims In California.
And now comes a lettor to a Now York
paper which again would force Charles
to read his own obituary. Iho letter fol

"Movie Actor" Charles Chaplin, and the state

Sunday night, this for what It Is worth.

Branch. N. J., and ha gradually leaked out
that Chaplin died there last summer, of brain
fccr or some similar ailment, supposed to

that his brother Hid and tho movlo firm wero

Tour news items would seem to Indicate the
substitute has been found In tho Golden West:
that he has been shown off ht a roof garden

amiss to "get the facts "
Leaders of the motion-picture Industry
have decided to contribute $500,000 toward
tho $1,000,000 campaign for tho endow

May 16, bo designated ns tho national
tribute day on which motion-picture
