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.

M'GILL CHANGES HIS PLANS
ABOUT PLACE OF TRAINING
DniTfr Man's Latest Prognm Is to
Swing; Around Minor' Leaane
Circuit.
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.
HOLLENBECK' TO THREE-EYES
Holly" Likely to Be Kola Thither,
lecordlaar to Latest Ramor la
asaokehoaec Circles.
Kumars afloat la' base ball gossip cir
cles has it that "Holly" Hollenbeck. on
of Pa Rourke's star twlrlers In past years.
Is slated to go to the Three-eye league In
1911 and show them how to pitch. 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.

When the Eastern league bad finished
Its session, hot long ag), by electing an
other than Tatrlck T. 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.

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. . ..

Men He Challenged
Veteran Grappler Declares Ootch Gave
Him Permission and He Can't
Get Any Takers.
Farmer Burn 1 t"l on the warpath
looking for wrestler and wrestling v man-j
agers whom h can devour. He does not
take kindly to any aspersions cast Opon
his sincerity nor upon Ids ability to "come
back." When the Farmer posted the money
with The Be for a forfeit on a match be
tween Gotch and Hackenechmidt he meant
business, and had, the letter from Gotch
telling him he could go ahead and make
any arrangements he saw fit.
Gotch Is to be married January 19 and
consequently ha ' called off all negotia
tion for a match In the near future. He
however, telephoned Farmer Burns that
Mahmout could take his place In challeng:
ing Hackenschmidt, but he did not relin
quish the title of champion to Mahmout.
Farmer Burn says he la able to get no
reply from Hackensihmldt's managers, nor
to his challenge for himself or Beetl to
wrestle Westergaard or Roller. The Inct- I
dent that warmed the Farmer under the j
collar waa an Interview given by Oscar
Thorson, manager of Westergaard, to the
effect that Burns was only kidding.
Now comes Pardello and wants to wrestle
Mahmout. Others are out with challenges, i
and it may be Omaha will see another
good wrestling match In the near future.
