SHARPE Yale Has No Chance to Get Cornell Coach For Next Season Special to The Telegraph Ithaca, N. Y., Dee. B.—According to those in close touch with athletic affairs here, Cornell will not permit Dr. A 1 Sharpe to go to Yale, even if the Blue makes the request. It has taken 15 years for Cornell to work up to her present high position in athletics, and it is not likely that they would allow Sharpe to leave under any circumstances, as-fie is the man who has mado the championship teams possible. The football team will elect a cap tain this week at a banquet to be given in its honor by the Athletic As sociation. If Cornell elects a man who will be a .senior next year, and that probably will be done, the choice will lie between Mueller, fullback: Anderson, right guard; Tllley, guard and tackle, and Eckley, right end. Two-Year Men Tilley and Anderson have played for two years; Eckley and Mueller were subs last year and played varsity foot ball for the first time this year. The other varsity men who will be avail able next Fall include Shiverlck, Gil lies and Miller, all sophomores. It is not thought probable that any of these three will be chosen captain. Although Cornell suffers heavily In the loss of Barrett, Cool, Shelton. i Collins and Jameson, the outlook for next year is not" bad. In addition to the men mentioned above, Sharpe can 1 call on Hoffman and Benedict, two I capable substituto halfbacks; Bard and Dixon, substitute linemen; Brown, a substitute center, and Ryerson and ' Zander, two promising ends, and also on Bretz, who played a good game at quarter on the freshman eleven this Fall. Bretz probably will succeed Bar rett. Feds Not Yet Sure of New York Grounds; City Holds Up Plans Special to The Telegraph New York, Dec. B.—lt developed yesterday that the Federal league has not actually purchased that $1,250,- 000 plot of ground in this city for its new ball club, but has secured an op tion on it, the same to be exercised as soon as a permit is secured from the City Council to close the streets that run through the property. Final action on the petition of the "Feds" to close the streets will come up for hearing about December 23. It is expected that the action will be favorable to the Federals. If so, the $1,250,000 will be paid over imme diately and the business of building the grandstands will be begun at once. in case uio cny reiuses permission to the "Feds" to close up the streets that run through the property the option probably will not be exercised and the "Feds" will be homeless as far as a park In Gotham is concern ed.

SWAT WINTER ELY Every Pair You Kill Now Means 1,000,000 Less Next Summer "Swat those winter flies!" For every pair you don't swat now it'll be "mother and 1,000,000 sons doing well" next Spring, as one New York newspaper prophesies. unless the warning issued by tho Merchants' As sociation of New York is heeded. It's getting cold now, and the dear little creatures are moving into winter quar ters in the house. Now is the time to "get them," when they are a little out of condition and not so lively as in the middle of summer. The only way to prevent the breeding of millions and millions in the Spring is to catch them at tho source of supply, which is right now.

Yale is satisfied that as matters stand now Old Eli is getting the worst of every thing and is ready to assert independ ence'." If this leading Penn authority means to imply that athletic relations will be severed between the two uni versities just because Harvard has been licking Yale consistently for a number of years in football, that man is woefully ignorant of the trend of feeling at New Haven. There is as much chance of what he suggests aa there is that President Wilson will coach the Army eleven next season.
