Not a Ml uninteresting Is some of the dleuslnn which has taken place in regard to the foot hall championship of the year: Quite renerally there la a dlnposltlon to LEFT FIELDERS. A. M Ml HH 67 4 . douhttng dissent from that opinion, because Harvard n unable to beat Yale. It la, their con tention that to be awarded the champion ship llarxard ehould have shown ability to score on Yale. On tlw othr hant1 tney race a rather knotty problem wher. they essay to name a team which should be declared the cham pion aggregation of the season. If Harvard Is not to be awarded the title. Another Interesting aituatlon which enters Into the discussion Is whether a foot ball championship may be awarded on methods similar to those which prevail In most sports. , In the latter case the point made Is this: Are the preliminary games which lead up to the two major contests of the season to be considered as vital to the determination of championship clais? Take It for granted that Yale mostly centers Its ambitions on defeating; Prince ton and Harvard, that Harvard mostly centers its attack on Yale and that Princeton Is concerned most of all In beat- I ins Yale. and the real motive for foot ball la plainly Mated. Can lie Foraolten. It Is true that Tale.. Harvard or Trlncetoa may not reHsh defeat at the hands of an eleven from some other college or uni versity than these three, but auch a defeat never carries with It Into the heritage of years that i-tlng that comes when one of the three loses to one of the others In the schedule for the foot ball season. - History In the sport Is made at Prfhce ton, as Princeton succeeds or falls against Yale; at Harvard as the crimson Is success ful against Yale and at Yale as the Ells triumph .over Frlnceton and Harvard. That being the case, it Is evident that the Inspiration which Is Injected Into the contests among these three universities la not always so conspicuous when other uni versities are being played. It la quite natural that such la the case. All foot ball , In all three Institutions leads up to the grand climax' and on that the student body pins Its hopes and the players their repu tations. If the games which are played during the year were to be adjusted strictly on a per centage basis, as they are In the major and minor haae ball leagues, Harvard certainly would fly any foot bait pennant which might have been offered In 1910. On the other hand, as Harvard, In the final contest of the season, that of more Importance to Harvard and of more Importance In Harvard eyes than any other was unable to acore; although strong enough to prevent Ita dearest rival from making a point, there are some who think that Y'ale should snare with Harvard the glory of the fall campaign. Probably In the opinion of most foot ball men Yale does share that honor rather thoroughly. The team of 1910 will be una which will Ions be remembered at Yale, not so much for ita victories as for the remarkable stand that It made' In the face of 'predicted defeat. . ( Championship Illfflralt to Award. To he thoroughly accurate, it Is doubtful If any ' foot ball championship may be awarded In any year no matter what the conditions may be. There Is not a complete exchange of games by which the true measurement of championship values ahould be adjusted. To win a championship literally, a team competing should win In a round robin series by which teams are compared, team for team, and not by a crippled comparison in which two teams competing together may not play a single Identical rival during '.lie year. It Is not very probable ihat we shall ever have a perfect foot ball championship con test. For that real on If there are any who choose to claim a championship for Har vard they seem to be justified In express ing It as their personal opinion. Quite as true the other aide la as much entitled to ar.y opinion It may hold as to the legality of the title. On that basis everybody may be nappy.

There was an Impression in Philadelphia that when ''Toots" , Schula completed his base ball days at the University of Penn sylvania, where he has been considered one cif the best young men who ever acted aa I a pitcher for the red and blue, he might become a regular pitcher on one of the I edate and highly respectable professional nines of that city. "Toots" has Intimated that he will be come a professional for a while after his school days art over, but the Intimation carries with It a load of sorrow and grief for the Quakers. . It . is not one of the Philadelphia teams which has caught him with alluring pro posals, but rumor hath It that the High landers have been talking with the youna man and have convinced htm that there Is no better place for a player of his skill to start than In New York. Schuls Is authority for the statement that he intends to do a little base ball work before he settles down to the sober task of becoming proficient in a profession. He la a student In the mechanical engineering department at Pennsylvania and a good student, too, aa well as a good ball player. His family prefers that he step from col lege to bard work in his profession. He will graduate In Jun. bat Schuls believes that a little relaxation will not hurt him. and, more than that, seems to be Impressed with the Idea that base ball will be the means to aaaiat him' in acquiring a little . capital, which will come In handy when he starts the harder task before him.

Pa Rourke has stated that Hollenbeck is due to he sold In the spring, but he has not concluded any deals as to where he Is to go. LINCOLN, Neb., . Jan. B (Special.) A peculiar situation exists ln the athletic board of the University of Nebraska in the selection of an all-year coach for the Corn huskers. Apparently the flve; student members of the board are unanimous In their selection of a coach, with the pos sible exception of one man, B. M. Cher rington, who la also vice president of the board. It will be necessary for the student members to win over one faculty-representative before the deadlock which now ex ists can be broken. 1 If Shonka, the big tackle, and captain elect of the 1911 football team, represents the undergraduate member of the, board properly. John R. Bender, the moat famoua athlete of whom Nebraska can boast will be called to take charge of affair at the Cornhusker Institution. Shonka Is heart and soul for "Twister," and talked en thusiastically Wednesday of the' work of Bender as a roach. Shonka said that Bender was hi choice as an ail-year coach Inasmuch as he wa better fitted to take charge of all branches of sport than any man he knows of. He said that Bender was a wlsard In develop ing a football team, and also good 1 In base ball and track athletics. "The only objection " continued Shonka, "that can be raised against Bender Is hi record as a professional. I understand that Bender received money for hla serv ices, but so did other players on the Com huskers at that time. It must be remem bered that Bender played foot ball when professionalism was not viewed In the same light that It la now. The man who could not draw a aalary then was regarded as a dun, while the player who was pa.'d was the real star." Paenltr Opposition. Faculty opposition to Bender I strong. Dean C. R. Richards, who Is president of th board, la opposed to the former Corn husker star. Richard is very fair In his attitude, the student members ot the board say. and If he can be ahown that Bender la th light man for the Job It will require but little effort to secure hi support. Dr. R. Q. Clapp, tb secretary. Is fighting th selection of Bender on the ground that "Twister" stands for professionalism and that the board Is now trying to eliminate that Manager Earl O. Eager Is also known to be opposed to Binder. States, an old university athlete, arrived In Lincoln Wednesday and atarted a .cam paign for the selection of Maurice Benedict, a former gridiron star and recognised a the greatest quarterback the Cornhuskers ever had. Benedict has been out of school for a number of years, but. It Is claimed, has kept thoroughly in touch with revo lutionised foot ball. He was a great track athlete and la also familiar with the tnslde f basket ball. Penedlct suits the faculty members bet ter than Bender. He will also have th upport of Cherrlngton If he allow bit name to go before the committee. otale ha asked hla friend to Join la Jimmy McGill of Denver Is having all kinds of trouble outlining his spring train ing for the-QrlK7lles.

Powers president of the organisation for the season to come. regret was expressed In more than one quarter that the club ownrrs had seen fit to change pilots. ' John T. Brush, president and owner of the New York National league base bnll club, sent a telegram to Mr. Powers from far off Texas, where he Is trying to find sunshine, but In the long electrical jump from San Antonio to New York theie were aome phrases of the telegram which became distorted and some punctuation marks which ran Into an open switch. Tfie telegram, as Mr. Brush wrote it. Is really stronger than that which reached New York, and the teleRram, which wa read In New York, seemed to everybody to be a pretty high testimonial to the ability of Mr. Powers. The oHRinal copy of the message reads as follows: To P. T. P.iwers, Former President of the Eastern League. New York City: It Is with unmeasured regret that I learn of your retirement from the presidency of the Kastern lengue. I cannot forjtet your loy alty and devotion to Its Interests, the sac rifices, both personal and financial, during those periods when with a weaker man than yourself at the helm the craft would have foundered. It Is the man who by his genius, courage and fidelity brings order out of chaos and establishes a dynasty that I honor, not the man who Inherits It. When Its history is wilt ten your name mint be allied with those who have led and never waveid In their efforts to pre serve organized base ball and fstabllsh It as the greatest sport of the world. It marvels me that the memories of the pro cess by which the magnificent Eastern leugue structure has been erected should ko soon slumber. JOHN T. BRUSH. December 13, 1H10. Whether base ball continues to prosper five centuries from now, or fifty, there will always be a feeling of genuine ad miration for those who stood up and made the fight which helped it to its present prosperity, and Patrick T. Towers wa one of them. It la easier to continue a success than it is to create one. Qnlt You're Klddln'. Battling Nelson says that he is every bit as good as he was when he first broke Into pugilism. Then he naively adds that he will have a secret "try out" to see If he is fit to challenge Moran and Wolgast. What a Joy the Battler Is? "They can't come back," he inslBted in Reno. Morning, noon and night, he walked the streets of the 'Nevada city and preached to the gambler, the cowboy, the miner, the . Indian, the gringo and the prospector, if they were aught to listen, that Johnson would win, because "they can't come back." Now he Is trying to persuade himself that they can. Neiann says the blow with which Moran floored him was the hardest that he ever received. All the world turned black and he figured on another earthquake in San Francisco. . .. Lmar Makes a Record.
