Athletic Union to Adopt Im
portant Amendment at
Annual Meeting
Philadelphia, Nov. 3.—The legisla
tion committee of the Amateur Ath
letic Union of the United States, of
which Justice Bartow S. Weeks is
chairman, has made Its report upon
tile amendments to the Amateur Ath
letic Union constitution, by-laws,
general and athletic rules, submitted
to it. Secretary Frederick W. Rubien
yesterday mailed copies of this re
port, as required by the constitution,
to tho delegates who will attend the
annual convention of the Amateur
Athletic Union to be held the Mis
souri Athletic Association In St.
Louis on Monday, November 1.
Probably the most important
amendment reported by the legis
lation committee is the one permit
ting enlisted men in the United States
(service to compete among themselves
during the existence ot an actual
utate of war, without Amateur Ath
letic Union registration and without
their amateur standing being affect
ed by the fact that they compete
with or against professionals, provid
ed the prize competed for Is other
than money. .
All Soldiers Eligible
This proposed amendment also pro
vides for the participation of enlisted
rien in public competitions or exhi
bitions as members of teams against
all-amateur teams without the ama
teur status of either team being af
fected. No objection to the adoption
of this amendment is anticipated, as
all officials of the Amateur Athletic
Union feel that there should be no
line drawn between the amateur and
professional while wearing the uni
form of the United States.
Reasons for Amendment
The sporting editor of the Phila
delphia Public Ledger says:
"The clause regarding team com
petitions allows for a team of en
listed men, some of whom may be
professionals, to compete against an
all-amateur club or college team in
football or baseball, without affecting
the amateur status of the fclub or
college team or the amateurs on the
team composed of enlisted men. Tne
trouble which arose last spring over
an athlete representing his club In a
race, while recorded at Metropolitan
Association headquarters as 'unat
tached,' although he had applied for
a transfer to his club several days
prior to the race, which transfer was
placed on lile and was not officially
passed upon by the registration com
mittee until after the race was con
tested, is responsible for the pro
posed amendment which provides
that, when transfers are approved,
the change of registration shall be
effective from the date of the receipt
of the r.i'icatlon for transfer by the
regirt ration committee."

SATURDAY EVENING,
ARMY-NAVY GAME TO BE
STAGED IN PHILADELPHIA;
AMBULANCE
Allentown, Pa., Nov. 3. Football
enthusiasts, scribes and critics
throughout Pennsylvania and othei
eastern states are waiting with keen
Interest for the bis gridiron battle
.vhich w'll be staged November 10 on
Franklin Field, In Philadelphia, be
tween the all-star teams represent
ing the United States Marine Corps,
and the United States Army Ambu
lance Service. The records made this
season by these two big military
gridiron machines have stamped
them as two of the greatest football
elevens in the game to-day, and their
clash November 10 will decide the
championship of the enlisted service
of Uncle Sam.
Nation Represented
Both the Marine and Ambulance
teams are representative in their
lineups of the entire nation. In the
Ambulance team from the concentra
tion camp here are' ex-college stars
from twenty-three of the largest col
leges and universities in the country
—men who, in the midst of their
careers as college athletes, answered
the call to arms and enlisted in the
service. The same thing may be said
of the Marine eleven. It is conceded
by football critics who have seen the
two teams in action, that when they
meet on Franklin Field, November 10,
it will be a battle between the na-

THK DIG GAME
Not for a pennant of blue or gold, >
Not for a precious cup;
Not for a name when the tales are told
Where men of the sport world sup;
This is a game where the balls are lead —
Runs are the Inches won;
This is a game where the best lie dead
After each in.ning's done.
Some of the players may see it through—
Knowing the best—and worst;
Some must go out while the game is new,
Dying ere they reach first;
Some, broken bodied, but whole and brave
Of soul, from the game will drop-
Fragments of men that the doctors nave,
Gleanings from death's rich crop.
Some of them, brothers of yours and mine,
March to the field to-day;
Soon they will stand in the foremost lino
Facing the last big play;
Still we must cheer through the thoughts of that.
Smile, though the spirit chafe,
Whisper to each as he goes to bat
"God grant you may reach home safe."
H. VARTjEY.
The thing to applaud in football this season is not victory, but the
spirit of those colleges willing to carry on against every odd, minus ma
terial and any chance to win. Victory itself will mean nothing whatso
ever this season, due to tho face that certain, elements havo returned vet
erans where others have sent their entire rosters into khaki and tho battle
line. Football, encouraged at all army camps, now the big army game,
was badly needed at every college, so those who have overcome tremen
dous handicaps to get any sort of team into the field deserve most of
tlto credit.
No, Y°n Never Can Tell
<
We have heard Fielding H. Yost figure in advance upon a strong
eleven for more than one season, only to have all j.jy knocked out of life
by class defections, injuries and ten or seventeen other details.
This boaon Yoat looked for no great strength in his Michigan team.
Most of his veterans had entered the service. There was nothing pink
about Wolverine prospects.
Whereupon Michigan suddenly breaks out Into the highway and be
gins trampling down everything in sight, including Nebraska's husky
squad. Or, as Colonel Walter J. Travis remarked to us one day, "In
this sporting whirl one can never tell when he is well oft; or when
he isn't."
Football I/ure
Football surely holds the old guard in line. We think of Walter
Johnson, Eddie Cicotte and Hal Chase as veterans, but they are mere
debutants compared to A. A. Stagg, Hurry-up Yost, Foster Sanford, J. W.
Heisman and others, who have been coaching for over twenty years. And
they seem to ket keener about the game as tho years rlrif by. Football
has a certain elfish and color that no other game has, barring nolo. And it
carries possibilities for strategy and team play beyond any of the lot,
barring none of them. J
It is ihi3 matter of toe tics and strategy in the main which hold the
lure of the veteran coach for so long. In this respect It is the next
thing to war.
Carrying On
Cupid Black, captain of the 1916 Yjle eleven, expects to pick up
where he left off last season—i. e., on top of the football heap.
Black is now with the Naval Reserve at Newport, from which citadel
he will launch one of the best machines in the country, including Bar
rett, of Cornell; Schlacter, of Syracuse; Gherisli, of Dartmouth and stars
from Michigan and other points West.
The Newport motto, according to Captain Black, will shortly be as
follows: Kindly get out of tho road or leave something to help remove
the debris.

Thus, when the call went forth for
men to represent the camp on the
gridiron, there appeared a long line
of stars, who have made football
reputations in the east, west, north
and south. The Ambulance eleven
has played five games and has wen
three, the last victory being against
the Marines, October 2. The score
was 27 to 0, and the game was filled
with every kind of sensation known
in football.

In the final game with the Marines
the Ambulance machine will face
such men as "Eddio" Mahan, the Har

the famous University of Pennsylva

known Philadelphia end, and Pete
Garlow, the Carlisle Indian tackle.
November 10 will be a red letter

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH!
BAN JOHNSON TO
REMAIN AT HOME
No Job in Army to Suit Amer
ican League Leader;
Meeting in Doubt
Washington, Nov. 3.—According to
reports in local baseball circles yes
terday, Ban B. Johnson's application
to tight In the trenches in France has
been pigeonholed in the archives of
the appointment cjerk's office in the
War Department.
There Is no denying that the pres
ident of the American League want
ed to get into the war and do his
bit with the "red-headed gunners
somewhere over there" in "No Man's
Land," but it seems that the govern
ment officials at Uncle Sammy's army
factory could find no jobs which
would fit the qualifications of the
American League boss.
No Meeting Called
The American League's annual
meeting was scheduled to be held
three weeks after the world's series,
but no date has as yet been set for
it by the big mogul. From present
prospects it appears as if Ban John
son will remain in baseball next sea
son.
The questioning of the shortening
of the playing schedule for the ma
jor leagues and the posslbilites of the
third major league as a war meas
ure, will be the big items of interest
to both the major leagues and minor
league moguls at this meeting.
The howl has gone up from most
of the owners in the American
League on the shortening of the
schedule, while President Hickey, of
the American Association, has al
ready called a meeting of his body to
be held in Milwaukee for next Sun
day, so that he will be well posted
on the situation when the major
moguls hold their session.
Williams and Rensselaer
in Cross-Country Run
Troy, N. Y., Nov. 3.—For the first
time in the nistory of the Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute its cross-coun
try team will compete in a match
race with the Williams College har
riers at Williamstown, Mass., Satur
day. Although the Polytechnic has
trained cross-country teams ror four
or five years, this will be its. first
intercollegiate dual contest. Williams
lias a splendid coterie of distance
runners, but the Rensselaer team
shows good form and will make the
more experienced college men extend
themselves. The race, which will be
run to-morrow aftrnoon, will be over
a course between five and six miles
in lepgth. Seven men will enter in
each team, the first five to score. The
Institute team will include T. L.
Smith, 'l9, of Oxford; J. L Smith, '2O,
of Oakville, Conn.; Louis T. Shannon,
'l9, of Pittsburgh; Arthur n. Graves,
'l9, of Newport; Joseph Harris, '2O;

Conn, and Walter C. Sutton, '2l, of

with the Union College team before

Troy, N. Y., Nov. 3.—Several runs

In the interference and paving the
way for these runs are the two

pionship. Greensburg with Its six
year rule, had been a big winner for

games on Friday.
Stephen A. Brady, for six years
captain of the old champion Metro
politan baseball team of New York
city, died at Hartford, yesterday,
aged 59. Brady played with Hartford
In the seventies when that city was
a member of the National League.
He led the Metropolitans in an In
terleave series with Providence in
1.585 and was the star of the series,
although his nine was beaten. He
played first or second base equally
well. He was a beginner when the
Metropolitans played in Harrlsburj?
against the High Boys. "Charley"
Fleck, now day desk officer at the po
lice station, was on the local team
and remembers Brady as a real star.
If you want to know anything
about old-time records call on
"Charley" Fleck. He was the first
real professional baseball player
Harrisburg had.
"Pop" Kelchner will quit St. Louis
Americans as scout. He was on the
job for six years. There is a report
in sport circles that "Charley" will
become a magnate and manage a

An Associated Press dispatch says,
"The Swedish Amateur Athletic As
sociation has officially accepted John
Zander's new world's record of 3.64:7
for the 1,500-meter run. The old
record of 3.55.8 was made by the
American runner Klviat in the pre
liminaries of the Stockholm Olympic
games in 1912. Zander's splendid
performance is the more remarkable
from the fact that he ran the entire
distance alone."
The proposal to stage a football
game between the elevens of the Uni
versities of Chicago and Michigan
to,- the benefit of the Red Cross may ;
result in the revival of one of the
mopt important of the Middle Wes
eiL gridiron classics, according to.an
Associated Press dispatch. These two
institutions first met in football in
1!592. and since that date have play
ed fourteen games, of which Michi
gan has won nine and Chicago five.
The Wolverines led in points with a
total of 199 to Chicago's 102. Michl
gar has held the Maroon elevens
scoreless four times, while Chicago
shut out the Ann Arbor University
but once and this was in the famous %
and final game between these uni
versities played in 1902 when Chi
cago forced Michigan to make a
safety; the only score of the contest.
Michigan's greatest string of vic
tories was won between 1901 and
1904 when the Yost warriors took
four games in a row by scores of
22 to 0: 21 to 0; 28 to 0 and 22 to
12.
