Tina football season of Itlt proved conclusively that tlio best teams nro NOT
turned out at tho ao-cAtfed "big" colleges. Mmber of tho select circle mean
ing Tals, Princeton and Harvard, travoie.1 the well-known rocky rood, each
meeting with on or more reverses. Ynle, of course, won tho "big three" chim

front, m can be seen In the following ranking of tho eastern team. Thin rank'

Pittsburgh Has Undisputed Claim to Championship
STtptKN Brown toit to Colgato on Thanksgiving morning Pittsburgh wan ne
VV claimed champion of tho universe. The Ilrtinonlans, tip to thin fatal game,
had n Just claim to tho tltlo. nnd probably would havo been awarded tho crown
by our well versed and able critics, who can sea nothing outside of tho bouuduilcs
of Now England. However, Warner's olovon gets tho glory, nnd everything that
goes with It, becnuse thero in no wny to dodgo It. Pitt had the best team of the
year, and wo may go eo far a to say that It wan the bout olovon dovelopod In tho
United State for soveral year. Tho men knew inoro football and wcro bolter
eoachod than any wo ever havo eon, and Harvard I Included. It wn a vcrnatllo
leven could play nny ty!o of game. Ai nn cxomplo, take tho Byrncuso content.
Who New Yorkere- had a powerful ruili line, a lino that had smashed ovorythhiK
that stood up beforo it In tho earlier game. In fact, tho forward lookod no
good that Syracuse was tho heavy favorlto beforo tho game, a It wao figured
that the guard nnd taoktos would break through nnd atop l'ltt'n play beforo
thoy woro started. Hut Warner, Instond of using nn open gamo with n running
arid forward-pa attack, began to smash tho lino and used only old-stylo football.
This was too much for tho oxccmlvoly advertised mantodons. and Pitt scored nn
eay victory. In the Ponn gnmo tho Wostcrnorn wcro not forced to show any
thing, but against Washington nnd Jefferson, a team noted for It forword punn
ing, Pitt ugaln sprang n eurprlso and bent Sol Motzgcr nt hlM own game. Wnrner'n
ben used n forwnrdpasn attack and won easily. Agnlnnt Htato tho tenm mixed It
play, hitting the linn when necessary nnd forward passon when thoy could bo
pulled without danger.
Tms proven that Pitt had an attack for nny team In tho country, nnd tho
player knew enough football to beat nny othor tenm. For thnt rrnson, War
ner eleven ntnnda ulotic, nnd In entitled to tlrnt plnco.
Yale's Great Finish Gives Team Second Place
YALE'S wonderful showing against Princeton nnd Harvard, doBplto tno defeat
at tho hand of llrown, enlltlo tho Bluo to second place. Wo cannot go by
comparatlvo scores or get Into a torrlble muddle. For example Tnlo beat Col
gate, Brown beat Yale nnd Colgate beat Brown. But for n remarkablo finish
Old Ell must be awarded the plum. Beating Princeton nnd Hnrvnrd on suc
cessive Saturdays Is o big Job, when ono considers that both the Tigers nnd
Crimson play fifty per cent better In thoso battles. Tad Jones deserve lots of
credit for hto work this year, nnd will do oven better In 1917. Colgnto gets thlWi
place, and few can dlsputo It claim. Tho gamo against Yale, which would have
been won had tho quarterback used good Judgment In the first period, nnd the
unexpected victory over Brown seem enough to plnco tho team near tho top.
Early In the season Larry Bankhart took hi eleven out West, where It wnllopod
Jlllnol. but after thnt tho schedule w easy, with tho exception of tho Yale,
Syracuse and Brown games. Brown got fourth position, bocause of Its showing
against Yale, Harvard nnd possibly llutgera. The othor games comparatively
yttro eay.
Armu Staled Fifth, Despite Clean Record for the Year
"Xri3 AltH prepared to hear a eorlos of howl from nil parto of tho Kast when It
W is noticed thnt tho unbenton toom from West Point Is placed In fifth position,
rho Cadets aro claiming tho chnmplonshlp thin year, but this Is cntlroly out of
tho question. Tho team simply1 doesn't clnsi with Pittsburgh, dcsplto Ollphnnt.
Vldal, McEwan and tho other. A well-known expert, who saw tho Army In
threa big game and nlso looked over Pitt, snlil thut tho Cndet would be snowed
under If Warner' team wero played. Anyway, what did tho Auny da till year
that wo ,out of tho ordinary? Truo, Washington nnd Loo was defeated curly in
tho Bcason nnd aftorvvnrd Notro Damo was taken Into camp. Tho other content,
with tho exception of the Navy, were not very Btronuous, as uimost ovorybody
defeated those team. In a way, howovor, tho Army Is similar to the old Car
lisle teams In the pa,st. Whenever tho Indiana had a good year tho critics would
place them down In tho list, saying that thero wero no eligibility rules and tho
men could play as long as they stayed In school. Tho tamo condition-) prevail
at West Point. A man can play four year of collego football, mid If ho enter
tho academy be eligible for four year more. Ollphant I a atrlklmc oxnmplo, a
he will play three inoro seasons on the team, making n total of five. -Vlilal also
played on a collego team, and Charley Daley, tho coach, wont to West Point
from Harvard. No matter how you llguro It tho Cadets are placed below the
other four teams, nnd the championship chattor must cease.
Penn Had Better Team Than Harvard or Princeton
ANOTHISIl prolonged shout I heard In tho dlstanco ns Penn I nwnrded sixth
cjl placo, ahead of Harvard nnd Princeton. It seem strango to piaca tho Bed
and Bluo eleven abavo the alxtoenth or seventeenth notch, but for onco tho team
deserve It. Bob Folwoll took a bunch of crude material, players who wero ac
customed to being defeated, nnd restored their confidence beforo teaching them
bow to win games. Jt took tune, but tho results camo at the end. Swarthmoro
won an early season game, but something happened ngalnst Stato, and a victory
was scored. Tho Pitt game was tcrrlblor hut Pitt had tho best team of tha year,
and thero la some excuse. Then camo Dartmouth, which resulted In a tie; the vic
tory over Michigan and tlm grand flnalo with Cornell. In nil, It was a glorious
season; tho team developed from nothing to n formidable nggrogntlun, and on
Thanksgiving Say ranked with the best. Georgetown suffered but ono defeat,
the Navy wlnnlnr an early game. After that, however, Exendlno and Charley
Cox got busy and turned out a good team. The victory over Dartmouth was a.
big surprise, but It demonstrated the strength of tho team from Washington. Har
vard comes next, with threo defeat to her credit Tufta, Brown and Yale turned
the trick, and by decisive scores, Penn State had n very good team, nnd Bets
' sumber nine. Dick Harlow taught hi men simple and sensible football, and they
played well throughout the season. Princeton cornea next, tho team showing up
fairly strong until the last two games, nnd then falling to pieces.
Cornell Started Practice Late and Had Hard Luck
BR. AL BHAJtPE'S team smarted practice nineteen days late this year and did
not get going until the latter part of the season. By that time the other teams
bad Improved, had more confidence and did better work. Cornell's greatest victory
was scored over Michigan, when the team camo up from behind, winning In the
' final period. Th$ University of West Virginia deserves lots of credit for Us work
thla year. Under two new coaches, W. W. Molntyre nnd Tobln. the team played
better than ever before In the history of the Bchool. dame were lost to Penn and
the Navy, but the latter defeat was excusable. West Virginia outplayed the
Middles that day and should have won. Most of the gomes were played away from
? v-'Jj 'kerne, tha feature event being staged In
played with Dartmouth, west Virginia, stiouia reel prouq or ner record for 1918
Mtd tha coachea should como in for n greater share of the glory. They will turn
cut a greater team next year. Lehigh, under Tom Keady, also did well, and
Mtohlgan had one of the best seasons In years, llaverford's victory over Swarth
tnora placed the team In the undefeated class, but No. 16 i the best the Quakers
wst set, Bwarthmoro bad a chance to make an enviable record, but slipped up
is the last gams.
Tim other teams stand "as la." Syracuse was a disappointment, but It was no
fault of BUI Hollenback. Metxger turned put a good eleven at Washington
'JMd JsXerson, but It was too young and light to be effective. Tufts fllwea After
"frssjtog Harvard, and Bulgers bit the skids early 4n the season. Muhlenberg,

OPTION AND TEN-DAY CLAUSES
ARE JOKERS IN NEW CONTRACT
ADOPTED BY MAJOR LEAGUES
National Commission Conceded Unimportant
Point to Players' Fraternity, but Turns Down
Main Complaints Made by Fultz
Ily CHANDLER
w;
National Commission nil-
Journed Its session In Chicago on Sat
urday, night Carry Herrmann, chair
man, Informed the ecrlt)a ami funs who
wore walling for news that tlio nuprcmo
body of baseball lind granted the ono great
demand of tha Players' Fraternity. Carry
and his associates wero real proud of their
generosity as they gave out a statement
to the ecrlbes.
The "great" concession granted was tlio
adoption of ii rlause In tho new contracts.
This clause entitles a player to full pay
until tlio expiration of his contract It 10
Is Injured on tho Held of play. Under tho
old clause the owtioru wero obliged to pay
the Injured player for only fifteen days,
nnd at the end of that ttmo could dismiss
In granting thin demand the National
Commission took the attitude of tho Injured
benefactor and Chairman Herrmann nlso
roasted Dave Kultx, president of th
Players' Fraternity Hut the National Com
mission noglectcd to give out a statement
concerning the adoption of the ten-day
clause, which entitles the owner to dismiss
a player after having given him ten day
notice, und tho pptlonaj clause, which vir
tually In tho reserve clause, which wus
declared void In tho United Htales courts
In oilier words, them Is a Jolter In tho
now contract, and tho adoption of the clnimo
covering Injured playem Is no concession,
considering tho rights tho player forfeit
In gaining this ono point. President Hill.
nf ha Players' Fraternity. Is not llHoly
to be very much pleased with tho now
contract, desplto tho "generous concession
of tho commission.
Concession of No Vnluo
Tho "concession" really amounts to noth
ing, and It Is really surprising that Presi
dent Fultz made such a fuss about It In
presenting tho demands of tho fraternity to
the National Commission. It merely af
fords protection to tho "rookie" or substi
tute, but In nn way affects the stars, who
will bo most Interested In the ten-day and
resorvo clauses.
We never heard of a major leaguo club
falling to pay tho salary of nn Injured star
or releasing him before tho expiration of
hi contract, providing he did not break
club rules and dissipate while on the In
jured list. It Ih tho recruit or subnlltutu
who hns been eo badly hurt that It la rea
sonably certain that ho will bo of no value
to tho team In tho future who wiim nffected
by the old clause In Justice to tho mag
nates, we will sny that wo never hne
heard of an owner taking advantage of this
clause,
In this respect tho ball players always
have been treated better than any other
class of employes In tho world, and there
are times when the generous magnate hn'j
suffered for his philanthropy In dealing
with Injured stars. Owners of teams that
are out of the raco often havo been victims
of "soldiering" by disgruntled stars, but
never have raised nn objection.
Players signing tho new agreements will
find that while they may bo oblo to com
mand a largo salary, they really aro at
the mercy of tho magnate, thanks to the
ten-day clause. Whera one player will be
carried after he has been Injured another
will be released on ton days' notice, no mat
ter what stipend he happena to be drawing,
which means that hts contract Is worth
the paper on which It la written and no
more.
Commission Was Clever
Uefore congratulating tho National Com
mission on Its generosity In giving the other
fellow twenty per cent the best of It, while
It takes eighty for Itself. It Is beat to wnlt
to hear what the Players' Fraternity has
to say on the subject.
It will be argued that some farm of a
reserve clause Is necessary for the health
of tha game and that the magnates need
the protection of the ten-day clause, which
will do away with Ironclad contracts. This
Is true to a certain extent, but that does
not alter tha fact that the gahio will go
back to the principles that made the Federal
league possible and will assure another war
In the future
The magnates argue that It will be Im
possible for another Jim Qllmoro to In
dues wealthy men to put their money Into
another Independent venture because of
the money the Federal League lost, but
precedent seldom Influences the Judgment
of millionaires who have their hearts set
upon breaking Into a business.
The Federal League defeat at the hands
of the O. U. was greatly exaggerated and
It waa noticeable that Federal Leaguers
now own franchises In the major league,
having forced their way Into Organized
Uall because of the anxiety of the Utter
to end the strife- There may be breakers
ahead and the meetings of tbe National
and American Leagues next week will be
of more than passing interest v

MACK DENIES CHARGES
MADE BY DAVE FULTZ
Athletics' Manager Does Not
Forbid Players to Become
Members of Fraternity
Following chargen by Davo Tultz that
certain league clubs have forbidden their
players to become members of the llaseball
Players' Fraternity, statements of denial
havo been Issued by onager Connlu Mack,
of the AthlctlcH, nnd James C. McOlll,
president of tho Indlannpolln Club.
"Thero Is nothing to that at all," said
Mack. "I oven do not know whether nny
of my players aro members or not. Cer
tainly I never requested or advised them
not to Join tha fraternity As a mattor of
fact, I don't euro ono way or tha other
They are freo to do Just an thoy plcano, so
far as I or tho Athletic Club Ih concerned "
In hlH annual report made pulillo In Now
York, Fultz mates that tho organization,
which has completed Its fourth year, con
tinues to grow Its strength and In demon
strating Its ability to accomplish benefits for
us members. Ultn tho exception of play
ers from tho Athletics. Cleveland nnd White
Korx, tho organization has a largo represent
ation In tho majors and Is stronger than
eer, Fulls asserts.
President Fults states that, according to
reports made to him, plaers have been
forbidden to Join tho fraternity from the
Philadelphia American, Indianapolis and
Demer clubs, and ndds If thli lei true, nil
threo clubs have violated tho fraternity
agreement, which says that thero shall bo
no discrimination against fraternity mem
bers, As In what has been accomplished olll
dally Blnca October 1. 1116. tho oxecuthe
sus that In GIU cases advice lias beon
given to players. Monthly financial state
inentn havo been furnished to the directors;
seven bulletins were sent to the represen
tatives of the forty-four clubs which com
prise the organization; forty-seven meet
ings with various clubs were held, nt which
an average attendance of eighty per cent
of tho membership was warded.

While Jasper Is ono game ahead of Camden,
tho Jewels do not appear to be any stronger
than Henry's men .
Jasper had a shade tho best of It .last
week by splitting two games, while tarn

Thursday, the Jewels came bnelt strong
nnd trounced the Trenton tenm IT to ii,

Jasper has plnyed much better basket

WRAY ELIGIBLE
TO PLAY IN 1917
Red and Blue Center Is Can
didate for Captaincy
Next Season
I.ud Wray, I'enn's wonderful confer, may
return to tho University noxt fall, nnd,
If ho docs, Indications point to his election
to tho captaincy for 1917. Wray Is a sen
ior, but han played only threo years of
football, nnd, thcreforo. Is eligible for an
other ycur In enso ho desires to return to
collego.
Football Is a secondary consideration
with Wray, but he han some class work
that ho wishes to take up, nnd this can be
done only through n post-graduate course,
which ho contemplates taking. In that
ovent, Wray could easily Bpare tlmo for
football, and Is a good man to lead tho
elcvon.
Helnlo Miller, Hert Bell, Howard Berry
and Ben Derr havo been mentioned for tho
captaincy, and while each Iiob hla strong
point, Wray Is brainy, nggrosslvo and bril
liant, and tho type of player who Inspires
tho rest of tho team.
With Wray available for next fall. Coach
FolwoU'n burden would be lightened, as It
would assuro I'enn a center who will rank
second to none. Peck, of Pittsburgh, nnd
McHwan, of tho Army, wero the only pivot
men In Wray's class during the last sea
son, and as both of these veterans are
through with football, Penn would havo an
All-American center beforo tho season
opens.
It has been stated many times that Ben
Derr was ono of the five players Tenn
would lose by graduation, but tho fact
tliat ho has been mentioned for the cap
taincy Indicates that Derr hns another
year to go. Derr has plnyed only two sea
sons of varsity football, but tho Impression
was general that he would not be n. mem
ber of the team noxt fall.
With Wray nnd Derr In the 1017 line-up.
Coach Folwoll would havo only three line
positions to fill. Captain Mathews. Kenning
nnd urqumvrt are tno only otner piayere
of tha first team lost by graduation, while
Graves Williams Is the only Important mem
ber of the second string who will be lost.
With several high-class substitutes nnd two
freshman stars to plug up the line, Folwell
will be able to get oft to a flying start noxt
fall.
Coach Folwell said this morning that he
had not been Informed of Wray's Intention
to return to college, nnd that he also will
not comment In nny way on the election of
captain. He says that ths latter Is a matter
for the men to decide, and ho wanta them to
have a man of their choice nt the helm,
but he does not hesitate to say that nothing
would please him better than to have Wray
return to college.
The Penn coach says that he can see
no reason why Wray should not bo eligible.
