INTERCOLLEGIATE BASKET BALL SEASON
ftlpple t. the Celm V.lrti of
College Relatione An All-Kaatera
Tem Which Wonld Mkt An
Effective Five.
The close of the Intercollegiate basket
ball seaaon brings out the fact that there
ha been a deal of hard feeling between
member of an association ordinarily re
markable for harmony of feelln. It Is
enly a testimony to the careful adminis
tration of the league of wlilrh Yale, Co
lumbia, Pennsylvania, Harvard. Princeton
and Cornell are members that not much
has been made riubllc property before.
Columbia naturally la a little disgruntled
over the fact of losing the championship,
or at least of tying for It. and there are
everal facts that add to the chagrin of
the local players.
Among other things, It Is recited that
on the occasion of the Yale-Pennsylvania
fame In New Haven, to which the Inter
Collegiate basket hall rules committee had
assigned C. Walter Randall of Harvard as
referee, the manager of the Yale team,
Chapin, arranged for two referees, the
Other to bo H. O. Lchmu!ler. a local man.
In spite of the fact that the two officials
were agreed upon, Lochmuller never re
ceived notice to come to New Haven.
When the time for the game came Ita.n
fiull naturally was the only man there to
officiate. The argument which arose from
Randall- work In Philadelphia In a pre
vlpus game had prejudiced the Pennsyl
' vanla men against him.
Kventually It was agreed that one
player from either team should be named,
the two to assist Randall In the capacity
of umpires. It was testified by a man
who saw the game, and Is a member of
the rules committee, that Pennsylvania
should have won the game on anything like
fair work.
Again, In the final game of the season,
that between Harvard and Yale In New
Haven, the Yale manager was responsi
ble for having as referee A. H. Sharpe,
the former Yale athlete. The rules com
mittee had assigned to the game Loch
muller, because It was expressly desired
that no man with affiliations with one
college or the other should act as an of
flclal at any games of the league. It la
declared by the same member of the rules
committee who Is responsible for the fore
going statements that I.ochmuller was re
fused permission to go on the Yale floor on
the occasion of that highly Important
game.
Ynle certainly violated the spirit of the
rules of the game by having an official other
than the one assigned and It Is declared
that both the games In which the New
Haven men won victories might be thrown
out In case of a protest. It Is considered
extremely unlikely that a protest will be
made, because the teams are not usually
kickers.
It Is considered that Tale was rather
lucky In getting away with the champion
hip. Many men who know basket ball say
that they bolleve that Pennsylvania had by
all odds the best team In the league. In
ternnl dissensions ruined the chances of the
Quakers. There was trouble between Cap
tain Flint and Keinath, and when they
Were In a game together the team work
" Buffered. It was lucky for Pennsylvania
and unfortunate for Columbia that Keinath
was In alone In the game In Philadelphia,
where Columbia was beaten and thu
thrown out of the race for the champion
ship.
Pennsylvania hns cause of complaint
against Yale for using, In the game be
tween Pennsylvania and Yalo In Phlla
delphln, Murphy, a freshman player. The
Quakers point out that he was not used
In the games with Princeton, which were
governed by a special freshman agreement
between the two colleges. They say that
as Pennsylvania also has a freshman rule
It Is not fair to use a man of a class
that Pennsylvania was unable to call upon,
At any event there Is some feeling of
oreness over tills point.
It Is suggested that the only thing to be
done, to handle such points as the fore
going, as well as In dealing with such
situation as arose when Harvard and Penn
sylvania broke tholr scheduled agreements
for games, Is to form an executive commit
tee In college basket ball. At present there
Is merely a rules committee, which makes
plnns and suggestions, but which apparently
has not the power to enforce Its recom
mendations. It Is more than likely that at
the next meeting of the rules committee,
which will not be held until next spring,
uch an executive committee will be
formed. There Is no penalty for violation
of rules and things are run In a haphasnrd
style. This Is through no fault of the
rules committee, which Is a hard working
body and one that Is enger for the hst
' that can be had. Pasket ball has gotten
to a stnge where It would be very hard
for the colleges to be forced into disunion.
On the basts of whut has heen done this
eason In the great Indoor gamo there are
many suggestions as to what would make
n effective all-eolleglnte five. There nr
everal players who stand out very promi
nently, and picking them on the basis of
the work they have done In their regularly
assigned positions they would earn plnces.
Such men, for Instance, as Kinney of Yale
and Keinath of Pennsylvania would be
first choice for forwards. P.yan of Cnlum
bia would make an admirable center. Noyes
f Yale would be a first rate guard How
ever, when these four are chosen It Is hard
to get another guard.
Hurley of Columbia wni on the defensive
the best guard of the year. He covered
Kinney In admirable style In the two Yale
Columbia games. The New Haven man
got one goal In each game on Hurley. ;On
the other hand. Hurley scored twice on
Klnnuy In New York and once In New
Haven. This Is exceptional work. How
ever, It Is fair to say that Hurley did not
play his game of other season. He has
cored more points than his man In almost
every game In foregoing seasons. This year
be was chiefly the defensive guard.
It Is suggested that posslhly a shift from
orthodox positions might give a team of
fine acorlng capabilities. Kinney, of course,
as the fastest forward of the yeor and the
most accurate and deadly shot, would hold
down one forward place. The other could
be assigned to Melitzer of Columbia. He
la one of the best men possible to get. H
la lightning fast on the start; gets the
center pass better than sny other man
playing the place and In fact never misses
It; he Is strong and can hold the bull;
pivots quickly on the one. two. three play
and Is almost always able to dribble his
way to the basket. Thit was his long suit
with the Columbia team this year. His
only difficulty was that he was not much
of a shot. The fact that he dribbled the
ball down prevented him from taking many
ensy shots.
Keinath under those conditions, could
be tent back to help out us guard. Kein
ath s activity and strength would make
Mm goid guard. His very speed would
muke his defensive work offense. He could
be relied upon to bring up the ball from
the back court, and with another suc'i
dribbler' as Moltlaer to paa to. it woulj
to solely vt feeding Kiuney. It
would be only too easy. Pimply a case
of tipping the bail from Ryan to Melitzer.
and then with Keinath to come up and
help. Melltser would be able to block off
Klnneya man while the Yale forward
took a shot.
Noyes was considered a very good
mard. With Hurley on his game there
would be no question of Noyes. However,
It will bear looking at to see which one
of these two men did the more scoring.
In a list which follows Hurley Is credited
with 66 points, of which 30 were from foul
goals. Noyes was marked with 24 points,
of which 1 were from fouls. In other
words, Hurley acored nine more field goals
than Noyes, In apite of hia supposed
greater Inaction. It would perhaps be
fairer to give Hurley the place. He would
be by all odds the man to leave In back
when the other guard and the forwards
and center were up the floor.
Ryan of Columbia Is by all odda the best
center. No man outjumped him. He was
a good shot and played well on the de
fensive. He handled the ball well and was
a very active player, despite his weight.
He outplayed all the men who faced him
throughout the season.
The choice, then, is made up as fol
lows: ForwaniB. Kinney, Yale; Melitzer,
Columbia; center, Ryan, Columbia; gunrd3,
Keinath, Pennsylvania; Hurley, Columbia.
It may seem strange that the champion
ship team. Tale, has only one man In an
ANTICIPATORY JOYS.
Well, well. It wotit bo very loug

VAN.
all-colleglate five. It U Just the stata of
affairs exactly. The Yale team waa feed
ing Kinney and fed him so successfully
that a championship came out of It.
Pennsylvania way apparently the best
team In the league and Its best man was
Keinath. Dut Columbia plays a better
team game and had certuinly the three
men named who were better than others.
Among those who deserved mention were
Cuthell and Armstrong of Columbia, Clif
ford and Van Vleck of Yale, Flint of Penn
sylvania, mniday of Princeton, Bumham
of Harvard and Bird of Cornell.
Interesting figures of the work of the
college basket ball players have been made
up. Kinney, the Yale player, acored
heaviest. He made 91 points out of 23
tallied by his team In the season, though
he did not play in the final game with
Harvard, being debarred by the Yale fac
ulty. He made thirty-one field goals, more
than any other player In the league, but
hia scoring from foul waa not as good
as that of Flint of Pennsylvania, who was
second, or of Hurley of Columbia, who waa
fourth.
Flint waa by all odds the best man In the
Intercollegiate league last year, but he waa
only eeeond this time. He did not take
part In ail the games of the league
schedule. By way of explanation of this.
It comes from Philadelphia that there was
jealousy between himself and Keinath, an
other Pennsylvania player. The team work
was broken up by the Ill-feeling between
the two men and the only way to Improve
the play waa for one or the other of the
playera to be out of the game. It Is not
a little to this that the poor showing of
Pennsylvania la assigned.
To return to the scores. Flint made 63
points In the aeaaon In aeven games. He
made only It field goals, but had the high
est total of foul goals, making SI points
In that way. Ketnath, hia teammate, and
If reports be true his rival, acored 60 points,
of which there was 21 field goals and 18
foul goals. Hurley of Columbia made a
fine record, finishing fourth. He tallied
M points, made up of II goals from the
floor and the second highest total of foul
goals, of which he made 90. The fifth man
was the Princeton captain, Halllday, who
waa the star of a weak team and has since
been re-elected. Halllday had R point,
remarkably enough all being made on field
goale. Uke Hurley, Halllday played the
full ten gamea.
Clark of Princeton was sixth, according
to the record making t points la ten
games from 1J field goals and 54 foul goals.
Plrd cf Cornell waa seventh, with the same
number of points, but made two field goals
less. A. Ryan of Frtnceton waa eighth
with 46 points; Brown of Harvard ninth
with the same number, but he, too, eoored
less of the more valuable field gtals.
Cuthell. the Columbia captain, waa tenth
with 44 points.
It Is a curious commentary that Prince
ton, which won only two gamea and waa
next to last, had three men in the first
team, more than any one other college.
Pennsylvania had two; Columbia, two;
Harvard, Yale and Cornell, one each. It
goes to show, too, how much Yale had to
depend upon Kinney, for he was the only
man In the first team of the blue. The
next man to him waa Van Vleck. who was
eleventh, but Clifford w twelfth and
Noyes was eighteenth, showing that Tale
bunched them in order to win.

tredgre So Looser la

The passing of famous base ball stare
I will be more pronounced this year than ever
before. It will be back to the minor
leagues for them, and then, when they
have outlived their usefulness there, ob.
scurlty. Base ball fans will miss the fa
miliar features of Billy Gilbert, Poe New
ton, Heinle Peltx, Joe Kelley, Jim Jackson.
Jimmy Sebring, Bob Wicker, Kittredge
and others who have seen their best days
as major league players. Gilbert not long
ago had a long following In this city when
he played second base for the New York
Nationals, former world'a champions. His
friends lauded him to the skies, until Gil
bert believed that much of the success of
McGraw's men was due to his efforts. But
without the slightest warning McOraw has
cut Gilbert cut of the once great team and
hns sold his release to the Newark club of
the Eastern league. So rapidly has this
player gone back that no club In the Na
tional league put In a claim for his serv
ices. Gilbert cannot understand that he
has become a player of minor league cali
ber and has opened a oaloon In this city,
declaring that he will never wear a uni
form again, but he may think better of It
later on.
Doo Newton, who was suspended by the
New Y'ork Americans last fall, has been
practically forced out of the big leagues
and has accepted the terms of the Montreal
club of the Eastern league. Newton has
been a noted left-handed pitcher, playing
with the former champion Brooklyna and
also In California. But his habits have not
been the beet and the big managers have
passed him up. In Montreal, under the
management of Malachl Kittredge, the vet
eran catcher, who quit major league ball
last year after a campaign of nearly sev
enteen seasons, Newton may cut a wide
swath. He Is not an old man by any
means, and If he does well In the box he
nay get another chance with one of the
clubs In the American or the National
league.
Heinle Peltx, a star catcher In hie day,
has dropped from the Pittsburg club to the
Loulsvllles of the American association,
but he may not play ball again, as he does
not care for the terms offered to him by
Louisville. Pelts made his mark with the
Cincinnati team. With Theodore Brelten
steln he helped to form the famous
'Pretzel battery," and both became warm
favorites wherever they went. Cincinnati
let him go to Smokevllle two years ago
and he did good work for the Dreyfuss
team for some time. But last season PelU
began to slide down the toboggan in snich
a way that It waa apparent to everybody
that he reached the end of his career.
Joe Kelley, another famous player, has
left the Cincinnati team to take up the
managerial reins at Toronto, another East
ern league club. Kelley was a young
player of promise when Hanlon got him
from Pittsburg, where he had gone from
Omaha, In 1S96, In exchange for Van
Haltren and $2,500. Kelley, as left fielder
of the Baltlmores, became a star and In
two years' tlmo his release could not have
been purchased for $10,000 and perhaps
more. When McGraw left Baltimore to
take the management of the New York
Nationals Kelley went to Cincinnati In a
similar capacity. He received a big salary
and It was predicted that he would be a
success In his new role. But, strange to
say, Kelley was a dismal failure not only
as a manager, but as a player, and when
Hanlon was engaged by Garry Herrmann
he found that Kelley was practically all In.
Not a club In the National or the Amer
ican league wanted Kelley when he was
placed on the market, so that It was possi
ble to sell his release outright to Toronto,
where he will receive as much salary, how
ever, as he got In Porkvtlle.
James Bebnng had a brilliant future
when he broke Into major league ball some
time ago as a member of the Pittsburg
team. Then he was traded to Cincinnati,
where he became dissatisfied and soon
Jumped his contract to Join the Williams
port club of the Trl-Btate league, at that
time an outlaw organisation. When the
Trl-State was admitted to protection under
the national agreement, however, Sebring
wanted to get back Into the National league
to play with the Chicago club, which had
purchased his release from Cincinnati In
the meantime. But the national commis
sion, after subjecting him to a trial, de
cided that he would have to remain in the
Trl-State for life or until his playing days
were over.
Bob Wicker, for years one of the Chicago
Cubs' best pitchers and a high-salaried
player, wound up his major league career
In Cincinnati last year. He did not come
up to the requirements of Hanlon. who
sold his release to the Columbus club of
the American association. Jimmy Jackson
will also play with Columbus this year,
as the Cleveland Americans have concluded
that he has outlived his usefulness In the
Forest City.
Father Time will soon drive other great
playera Into the background. James Mc-
Gulre of the New York Americans, who
has been In the game for twenty-three
years, has not much further to go, while
It will not be long before Willie Keeler,
Al. Orth, Jimmy Williams and other mem
bers of Cark Griffith's band will be seen
on the diamond for the laBt time. Jimmy
Collins, Cy Young, Jesse Tannehlll, Lou
Crlger, Bill Dlneen and Chick Stahl of the
Boston Americans have only a few years
left to serve. It will not be long before
Rube Wnddell, Harry Davis, Monte Cross,
Ossle Schreckengost and Ralph Seybold
cf the Philadelphia Americans retire after
long campaigns in which they hnve be
come (unioui. John Anderson and Jack
Warner of the Wuahlngtons are veterans
who are nearlng the windup. while the
same may be said of Jack O'Connor, Kid
Wallace and Jack Powell of the St. Louis
Urowns. Of the world s champion Whlto
Sox. Oeorge Lavls will soon get out of the
game, as he has pluyed steadily for eigh
teen years. Elmer Flick and the great La-
! Jole cf the Clevelands are growing old, and
so la Bobby Lowe of the L'etrous.
McGlnnity In the estimation of many
critics bus seen his best days as pitcher
for McGraw's team, while Bill Iahln,
Frank Bowerman, Lan McGinn. Dummy
Taylor, George Browne and Mike Donlln,
all of the same team, cannot last much
longer In fast company. In Pittsburg
Fred Clarke is practically through playing
and will take the bench this year, while
Beaumont Is abjut to retire from the game,
with Phillippe and Ltever. the star pitchers,
on the ragged edge. Blagle of the Chicago
Cubs is an old player who must be rtpl.iced
In the near future, but the other members
of the team are all comparatively young.
So are the Cincinnati players, except Oan
el. W'elmer, Coakley and Ewing. Rltchey
and Tenr.ey of the Boston Nationals are
veterans who cannot hang on forever, while
McCarthy of the Brooklyn la good for a
couplu more seasons perhaps.
The time Is not fur off when Kid Gleason,
the second baseman of the Philadelphia
Nationals, a ill be passed up for a younger
man, as Gleason has been playing In the
big league since 1S. Jake Beckley ol the
St Louis Cardinals will probably play out
this season and then retire. He tine been
playing with major league teama since 1SS6
and It waa not until last year that he began
to show the effects of the long gTuelllng.
The average pliylng career of a major

many players have remained In fast com

tugal national committee and chief worker
In the Porto association. He was glad to
see me. After arranging for me meetings
tomorrow (Sunday, December 16, 1906), we
went to his home, where I lodged during
my stay in Porto. He Is a fine man, an
efficient Christian worker In his church,
the Methodist, and in the association. He
has a charming family. Mr. Da Bllva and
I talked until after midnight about what
was best to do. On Sunday I took lunch
with a Rev. H. M. Wright and his family,
the man who put up the association build
ing himself. In the afternoon I attended
the regular meeting of the association.
After the address of the leader I was re
quested to speak, and did so. In the
evening I attended a meeting In an Epis
copal church, and by request made an ad
dress which seemed to be very much ap
preciated. On Monday, December 17, I
was In close touch with Rev. Da Sllva all
day. We dined at the home of Mr. An
drew B. Cassels, a strong friend of the
association. His eldest daughter, Miss
May Casscl, was the chairman of the
national committee of the Young Wom
en's Christian association. She was a
whole team In herself an Intelligent, ef
ficient and faithful worker In the Young
Women's association. We all went to the
association rooms, when a meeting of the
officers and workers of both associations
were present. I gave them a strong talk
on the association work, emphasizing Its
vital points, particularly Its spiritual life.
What I had to say was listened to In
tently and many questions were aaked.
It was a very good meeting. In the even
ing was a crowded and somewhat mixed
meeting. It was very difficult to know
what to say, but I tried to cover the
ground so that they would get the most
for the association work. I had many In
terviews with Mr. Da Bllva, who Intro
duced me to others. I desired most ear
nestly to stay longer, but had to go to
Lisbon. I waa royally treated by Mr. Da
Bllva and Ms family and by all others I
met In Porto. I reaohed Lisbon Tuesday,
December 18, In very good time. Was
met at the station by General Secretary
Rudolph Horner and the president of the
association, Mr. M. Oliver, and waa taken
to the home of the president, who Is a
wealthy man, but most devoted to Chris
tian work and especially Young Men's
Christian association work. I was
made to feel at home from the first.
Mr. Rudolph Horner Is a graduate of
the Springfield Young Men's Christian
association training school, and an
admirable association worker with con
siderable experience. In the evening
I went with Mr. Oliver to his church
(Presbyterian) meeting, and Instead of the
pastor, who had a bad cold, I made the
gospel address. From this meeting we
went directly to the association rooms.
There waa a room full of officers, mem
bers of the board of director and mem
bers of the association. I presented them
some of the letters I had with me, then
addressed them on the fundamental prin
ciples of the association. I emphasized
the stupendous Importance of the associa
tion work and showed up It marvelous
success. Many questions were asked. It
was a very good meeting. They all
seemed deeply Impressed and encouraged
In the work.
Wednesday, December 19, I spent consid
erable time with General Secretary R.
Homer. Had a visit with his wife also.
We called upon and lunched with the
American ambassador and his sister, from
Chicago, Charles Page Bryan. I was much
pleased with them. We put In some time
sightseeing. In the evening I attended a
crowded mixed meeting at the rooms of
the association. It was difficult to address
as I wanted to do, but succeeded fairly well,
as all seemed pleased and edified. After
some personal Interviews with special
persons on the association work, chiefly
with the secretary, a Mr. Morton, In the.
Bible work, and with the president of the
association, I had nnlxhed up my work
In Llebon and Portugal. I had a very
narrow escape from Injury or from losing
my life. I could account for It In no other
way than that the Lord Interfered and
saved ma. They wanted me to stay longer
In Lisbon and I wanted to stay, but I had
to go on my way to Madrid, Spain, my
next appointment.
It looks to me that Portugal la a good
field for association work and will make
rapid progress In the work, a we count
rapidity In Roman Catholic countries. I
urged them everywhere to do a good work
rather than a large work and an Intelli
gent gospel work rather than making too
many experiments with uncertain things.
I started for Madrid. Spain, at 10 a. m.
A number of the association folks were
at the train to aee me off, the president
and general secretary among them. It
would be Impossible to forget the very
great kindness shown me by all, and par
ticularly by the general aecretary and
president of the association and family.
Mr. Oliver la a strong friend and ardent
admirer of Mr. Clerke of Brazil. He waa
tn Brasil ar,3 helped to form the first
association there with Mr. Clerke.
