ENTS PROTESTING OF NEILL AND MAY SEVER FOOTBALL RELATIONS WITH STA1
KWQUAUFICATION OP NEILL
MAY CAUSE BREAK BETWEEN
JBENN AND STATE AFTER TODAY
Ixcal Athletic Authorities Resent Manner in
.Which Coach Harlow's Protest Was Made
and Are Likely to Sever Relations
TMJAT fm Iwtwewi Pennsylvania, and Tenn State will be) the test played
btwe iMtRatVsfis, according to ft man whose word usually carries a lot
C weight with tk fftoultjr committee) on athletic nnd the football committee.
It MtM ftcihamn that after all theso year theso two largest Institutions of the
rate of lennytvanl riteuM sever athletlo relatlonn because ono party saw flt
tJ protest the HglMllty ot a player.
, These U no qaestton that State will be the greatest loser by the
writing ot athletlo relations, as It has only one other football game on Its
setvedule where It Is possible to make any money. Aside from the games with
mn and Pittsburgh! and an occasional meeting with either Harvard or Tale,
State never has been able to schedule any other games that brought money
Into the treasury, and when a college goes Into football as Btats does It re
quires money to enable the athletlo association to mako ends meet. Unless
State can get another big team on Its schedule, the Impression Is general that
the caliber of Its teams Will decline gradually until the Bluo and Whlto is back
where It was before Bill Hollenback put it on tho football map.
Pennsylvania, does not resent the protesting ot Kelll, according to Man
mgue Charles Lovett and one ot the coaches, but It does resent the manner in
which the disqualification of Kclll was brought about. According to Ixvett,
Coach Dlok Harlow did not ask Penn to Investigate tho standing ot Nelll, as Is
generally done, or register a formal protest submitting his evldonce, but Instead
, the State tutor wrote a letter to Ixivett with a demand that the stocky guard
bekept out of the Stato game unless Penn wanted Nc Ill's ineligibility brought
"to the attention ot the other colleges on Penn's schedule.
Lovett says that Harlow stated in his letter that he would notify the man
agers ot the Pittsburgh, Michigan, Dartmouth, Cornell, Lafayette and 'West Vir
ginia IVesleyan teams that Nelll had played four years of collego football at
'Whitman College prior to entering Penn It Coach Folwell sont him" into today's
game. Whether Harlow intended to mako public his Information In case Nelll
was kept out ot the Btato game he did not state, but Pennsylvania resents
Jils letter and also the fact that State, of all colleges, should question tho
.eligibility ot a player who had been passed upon by the faculty committee on
athletics.
Manager Lovett Recalls Old Scores
THE faculty committee believed that Nelll was eligible and that only two years
of his football career at Whitmanshould be counted against him, but rather
than try to cover him up by keeping him out ot the State gaino and then
using htm. against other teams, Penn did tho right thing by declaring him In
eligible for varsity competition.
Manager Lovott declares that Penn could get enough evidence to bar two
or three State players, but that tho Ked and Blue never has protested a player
whoso standing has been passed upon by the athletlo committee of another
college He points out that it was only four years ago when State camo down
to Philadelphia and took two inollglbles at Penn, Phil Barry and King, and
played them on the State team for two years after It hod been proved to the
satisfaction of Penn that neither was eligible for colleglato competition.
& Barry and King played an Important part In one ot State's victories over
Penn, but the lied and Blue never entered a protest, rear did It over bring
up tho subject again, although at the time it resented State's action. Lovett
also claims that several years ago Stato used a man on Us football team who
was a professional boll player, and mado no attempt to explain this action. It also
is said that Bob Hlgglns has played' more college football than Is allowed.
Tho bad feeling cropped out again last fall, when several Stato players
'wore wrist and hand braces of hard leather, desplto Penn's protest. The Penn
players claimed soon .after the game had started that the State line men were
, not a bit particular how hard they struck with the open hand In charging,
and that the braces were so solid that sevoral Red and Blue players wero cut
and bruised about the face. Between halves Penn asked Coach Harlow to re-
move the braces, but he refused, nnd tho second half will long be remembered"
as the roughest played on Franklin Field In years.
" Another Big Game Must Bc-Schcdulcd
r' IS said that tho faculty committee on athletics and football authorities at Penn
virtually decided that Stato woutd not bo asked to come down to Franklin Field
again even before they acted on the protest of Nelll. If State Is no longer includod
on Pean's -schedulo, H will bo necessary for tho Ited and Blue to And a strong op
ponent and a good drawing card to replace tho upstate collegians, who always
iave been popular in this city.
Negotiations may bo. opened with Yalo or Princeton, although tho schedules of
the Ells and Tigers aro considered too hard now, whilo it also is possible that Bill
Hollenbock'a Syracuse team wljl mako Its first appearance In this city. When
Hollenbacjt coached Stato tho games hero always attracted large crowds and
proved interesting, and there Is no reason why relations tould not bo opened with
Syracuse, which always is represented by a powerful eleven.
There aro a few of the old guard at Penn who believe that" tho troublo with
State has been magnified and they hopo to effect a reconciliation. They contend
that State acted within its right In protesting Nelll and that he should be withdrawn
If he played moro than four years of college football. They admit that Harlow
did not use much diplomacy, but hope that tho affair can bo straightened out. At
the present tlmo there appears to bo little chance to smooth.the troublo over, but
It Penn wins all may be forgotten. '
Large Associations Opposed to Present Ruling
pAUI WILLIAMS, field secretary of the National Tennis Association, who was
here recently,, said that a. few of the district associations have been heard from
officially, and that they are in favor of the new amateur definition. But tho dls.
tricts already heard from are those in the South and Bouthwest, which represent
comparatively tow clubs.
The larger district associations, save possibly tho Metropolitan, probably will
.Vote against it. The Pacific States Tennis Association has como out flatly against
the ruling, for the obvious reason that should it go through it will affect the leading
Slayers of California, notably William M. Johnston, Maurice E. McLoughlln and
Thomas C Bundy. V
"Wallace F. Johnson is the leading Philadelphia racquet wlolder who will be af.
teoted, and Fred Alexander is in the sporting goods business in New York and Irving
.Wright in Boston. The Philadelphia clubs are certain to vote against the amateur
rule, but New York and Boston are uncertain.
, The feeling among the active tennis players, however, is so dead against the
.ruling that any attempt by the powers that bo to railroad It through the annual
awe ting Is sure to be sldotracked.
' When R. Norria Williams, 2d, graduatod from Harvard last Juno It was ex
paeted that he would take up his residence in Philadelphia, and thus give the tennis
Mtauiasta of his home town a chance to boo him in competition next year in the
Jaterelub matches and local tournaments. But Williams has ontered business In
Pe'ston ant will live-at New Bedford, Mass.
THE DAYS OR REAL SPORT
japiscopal'a ohaaoea of capturing the1 lnteracademla football championship.
jeriilch appeared so bright at the start ot the season, faded yesterday when tho
Churchmen were overwhelmed by Chestnut Hill Academy,
' As at present made up Episcopal is a one-man team, and that one man is
Johnny Karp, the big fullback. Earn runs with tho ball twice In every three
plays, which makes him a mark for opposing forwards when a few yards are
needed for a first down. This explains. Eptscbpal's failure 'to make more than
three first downs against Chestnut Hill yesterday, '
If Coach Washburn Is able to develop or find one or two more players who

- ADMIRE HIM PLAY GOLF
Mastodonic Seaside Star Is Bashful as School
girl Hoffner Reaches Majority Profes
sional Golf Diamond Medal a Beauty
Dy SANDY McNIUMCK
JIM PHASER, Jersey Juggernaut, freshly
crowned open golf king of the Philadel
phia district and confines, Is bnsliful.
The 300-pound links mechnsila admitted
today that when any one lloks at him
golfing he becomes Immediately very skit
tish nnd has no control whatsoever over
his shots.
He claimed to get all trembly.
l'"or all that, his play yi-sterday and the
day before for the local title wns a steady
flow of .fine golf. Tho reason that he did
not make more errors In all the flfty-four
holes wns that a lltle thing Ilka n thrill
of nervousness running through lilm could
not make his mighty beef-bound frame
shake at all.
The only way the mastodonic senslde pro
could give vent" to his emotions when the
gathering looked on wns by blushing deli
cately behind the ears like a schoolgirl
planotng her first piece In public.
His Public Debut
Fraser, who shot a 7575 76 for the
title, said It was his first tournament In
. this country, though he said he had golfed
In many events 'twlxt the henther of Scot
land, his native beathi Fraser s golf
showed that he will henceforth bo a dell
nlto factor In tho open play hereabouts,
for he beat out many n good man when ho
came home first.
Among others was J. names, the White
marsh pro, who landed the first champion
ship of the United States Professional Golf
ers' Association not many days ngo at
Slwanoy.
The 80 Uarnes got on the first day put
him out of It, even though he finished well
up In the running. Considerable Interest
was attrnctrd by tho diamond medal Uarnes
won at Slwanoy. It Is the only the gath
ering at Phllmont yesterday had heard of
In this country.
The medal Is of heavy gold, with the
figure of a spread eagle rampant on the
face, over a largo nnd lustrous diamond
couchant. It Is a glittering piece of Jew
elry and entirely in keeping with the win
ning. Is n "Man" Now
One of the most popular figures at the
tourney for tho open title yesterday was
Charlie Hoffner, tho Phllmont pro, of whom
so much was expected over his own course.
Hoffner had an awful load to carry
around with him when ho shot an SO In the
rain of the first round on Thursday, In
his Inltlatround his putting had been scan
dalous, ffr on three greens ha took four
putts, playing for water-logged greens he
thought would be Intensely slow and which
were not so slow.
It Is claimed that on seven greens straight
In the first round Hoffner missed yard-long
putts, something very unusual for the pro
who was In a triple tie at Garden City this
summer for the metropolitan title.
Yesterday Hoffner became a voter.
It was his twenty-first birthday and he
thought to fittingly celebrate by taking
away the title.
He made a game effort with a 71 and a
73, leading the field till late In the after
noon In a tie, but Fraser nosed him out.
Hofffter s getting a country-wl4e reputa
tion as a pro, despite his youth, and It Is
rumored that he will go to Pasadena, Cal.,
as a pro for the winter at one of tho big
courses ' there maintained for the tourist
drive.
Warren 11. Webb is also considering an
offer to instruct at the same, resort this
winter. Webb was a teacher at one of the
large Indoor golf schools of Philadelphia
last winter and had a large following,
Six Spoiled It
Wilfred Held, the diminutive Britisher,
who played much abroad In the Interna
tional team matches and is now a pro at'
Wilmington, had a remarkable round yes
terday morning at Phllmont, when he
turned the second half of his play up to the
last tee In three strokes under fours, and
a five In the string nt that.
Realizing ho had a fine chance for a
thlrty-lhreo, with the possibility of a thirty
two. Held Kot badly wnbbly and took six
'for tho hole, which Is the way most coif
stories seem to end.
Charlie Hoffner did his wabbling right
nt tho start of his round yesterday. It
looked n h though ho was going to continue
his terrible putting of the day before, when
ho took, four putts on the very first hole.
At that he went out In a thirty-five, which
they do say Is going "some."
After that Hoffner began a session of
cup-rlmmlng, In and out nga'n putting, that
rarely cost him moro than two putts, no
matter at what corner of the green he
found himself.
Purr or Dust
Dave Cuthbcrt, Huntingdon Valley, held
tho pace of Hoffner, with whom he played,
through the first few holes, but after that
ho did his tourney stunt blew up on a few
holes right In a row and built up some
coHtly stroking.
Cuthbert mado merry on tho blind four
'teenth In the morning, when ho shot his
ball over tho slopa straight at the pin.
There was a puff ot dust, a dlstnnt call
ing out, and all was stljl. Coming to the
green, Cuthbert's ball lay hard by the pin
for nn easy putt.
Tho ball had struck ono of the players
ahead.
The luck of golf Is shown by the fact
that Peter O'Hara, Pittsburgh, matched the
75-75-76 of Fraser with a 76-75-76. Fra,ier
has the title today. O'Hara claims the
worst of It In many a battlo abroad. He
cited instances at the nineteenth hole,
where tlmennd again In tho old country
ho had led a field by one or two strokes,
only to bo worsted at tho finish by that
margin.
"But th' best mon won It today. I'm
tellln' ye," and he congratulated Fraser
again.

here, especially as Yale and "MJ",?fi';

they ever havo been since or ever were
Vor'when Drlcklcy and Hnrdwlck Joined
Haughton In 1912 and Mahan arrived In
1313, Princeton nnd Ynlo remained In close
vicinities, but Harvard moved far on boyond
any rival reach so far as her two old
enemies were concerned.
It was not so much a question arter
this an to who would win as it was a mat
ter of keeping down Harvard's score.
But now n new order has arrived, Brick
leys, Hardwlcks, Mahans and Pennocks no
longer parade the battlefield In Crimson
harness. Harvard, for the time being, has
drifted back toward her two waiting rlvnls
not so far back ns many believe she has.

Vhlch means that Harvnrd, Yale and

Just at this soon date welshould say that
Princeton has a slight edge over both old

an edge as she looked to havo over Yale

Picking the Winner
There will be time enough later on as
the campaign advances to Indulge In further
prophecies, but for nil that an' October

Harvard, with Bond, Flower, Casey,

All most of these lack now Is Big Game

Yale has tho Indian sign on Princeton.
Princeton will meet a better Yale eleven

Princeton now looks to have n slight ad
vantage, but not a great one In any way.
For Yale, with a hard fighting line and
J-e Oore. Bingham and Smith In the back
field, has more than one dangerous asset
Princeton should havo a trifle the better
of the kicking game, nnd this margin should
bo enough to win by, provided Princeton
doesn't buckle up again.
Princeton has moro speed In her back
fttld. but no one man as dangerous as
Lo Clore and no ono lineman as Inspired
as Captain Black.
. This contest should be one of the best
Yale-Princeton battles of n decade If the
two elevens continue an equal development

In 19i:, 1913, 1914 and 191C Yale was
outclassed before the kick-off, and It was
merely a question of the score.
Now, after a dreary sojourn In the bleak
wilderness of woe, Yale at least can figure
upon an even chance t6 win.
Harvard Is going to find hard work ahead
In breaking through Yale's defense. But it
is no certainty that Yale's attack will be
