YALE SYSTEM TO BE TRIED After Having- a Losing Gridiron Team for Poor Straight Year Cornell Will Try. Out New System. ITHACA, N. T., June 15.-CorneU has been taking account of stock. The Itha- cans have been wondering why, with a wealth of good material, they have been unable In recent years to turn out a winning foot ball team. Both graduates and undergraduates had been absorbed in the system of graduate coaching, for getting for the moment that these men had lost the art it is an art, not a soi-ence-of toot ball. Certain ot the grad uates had been trying for years to in terest the powers at Ithaca in Tale foot ball, to point out to them that here was a reasonably successful system that might be adopted to advantage. In the old days, however, there was an anti Yale spirit that was based on nothing more solid than the old rowing situation. In the last few years there has been an exchange of courtesies, a better un derstanding and a realization that there was no reason Why the two institutions should not get together In most branches of sport. It was, therefore, not a dlffl cult matter to persuade the Ithacans at the end of last season that the next foot ball coach should come from Yale. Kits Are Discussed. Many Ells were discussed by graduates and undergraduates, but it was, after all, I the team Itself that decided the issue Ur; A. . Sharpe of Yale has officiated at most of the CornellrPennBylvanla games, and has had, perhaps, a better opportunity than any other man to see the good Ithaca material wasted year after year. Dr. Sharpe is a toot ball theorist of the first rank, and like all other good foot ball men he was dls tressed by the annual showing of the Ithacans, who with the making ot a good team trotted out on Franklin field poorly coached aggregation. Just as last year's Yale crew rebelled, the Cornell eleven decided that it was time for a new arrangement of the coaching Bystem. Bearing In mind the kindly criticism of Al Sharpe, they de cided that he was the man to put Cor nell foot ball on its feet. It was a wise decision. There has been no better official on the field in recent years than Dr. Sharpe, no better influence in the game of foot ball. He has always handled in un compromising fashion a rather difficult set of rules and hss kept abreast of the times in strategy and tactics. Of course the greatest value ot the Yale system Is Its mastery of line play, and it is not always possible to tell how much any given Yale roan knows about this founda tion theory. Nevertheless it Is not diffi cult to believe that Dr. Sharpe has a more thorough knowledge of this all important matter than any other man who has coached a Cornell team since the days of Marshall Newell. Newell better Perfect. Newell was letter perfect In the fine art ot tackling, a master of strategy and a keen campaigner, and his fundamental theory was to stop the other fellow first. It Is Just this very thing that has been absent from Cornell foot ball In recent years, and it Is just this very thing that Dr. Sharpe Is expected to teach first, before he takes up any advanced maneuvers. . Knowledge of the toot ball fundamentals has been the crying need at Ithaca, and this knowledge, for any Institution that is engaged In building up a new system, can best be gained from a Yale man. 6o Dr. Sharpe will be welcome at Ithaca as a Ya e man, and more than welcome In his capacity of "Influence" as well as coach. It would perhaps be too much to expect him to turn out a win ning team In one year, but it he is to be Judged by Pennsylvania standards and Pennsylvania la Cornell's chief rival In all branches of sport he will do a little more than pass muster. The Importance of his selection can hardly be over-estimated, for it means that Cornell has at last decided that prejudices of long standing are ot no more moment and that, after all, ef flclency Is the thing to be desired. Whether Dr. Sharpe is a success or failure as a Cornell toot ball coaoh is not so Important as the fact that he will lay the foundation ot a system on which to build in years to come and wilt prove the ancient tradition that ef' tlclency and sportsmanship go hand hand.

In the fall ot 1908 there arrived on the University of Nebraska campus) a rustic from Genoa, Neb. . He was a youth of 18 years. His shaggy black hair, thick and oily, lay muddled upon his head and fell unkempt over his brow. Deep brown eyes gleamed Intelligence. Cheek bones protruded Into prominence and a strong featured mouth and chin combined with the cheeks to form a face that attracted immediate attention. The youth was awkward. His rangy, thick frame made him seem to saunter when he really was moving along at a brisk pace. His legs, long and , powerfully built, stretched themselves about the campus in a tour that was a sightseeing event for the boy from Genoa. The clothes. Just such clothes as a boy from Genoa or any other out in the state town might wear, did not fit well to the solid frame. They were clean and carefully pressed, but they marked the wearer at a country lad. Such a youth did not look to be good fraternity timber (there are many boys that come to Nebraska, who, on their first appearance, do not look like good fra ternity material) and he attracted no at tention from the "frat" scouts until three or four of the older heads of Phi Delta Theta located him. They took him over to the "frat" house on R street and were much Impressed with him. The younger fellows ot the society did not like the awkwardness of the youth, but those older boys saw, beneath the tugged country boy's frame, the making of a good man. They wanted that lad in Phi Delta Theta. His father before him had gone to Nebraska and had been one of the charter members of the Cornhusker chapter. The father was a good fra ternity man; as he was a good student and as he has become a good man of business out In Genoa. If the father was of the right caliber, argued the older Phi Delts, this boy must be of the proper stuff. They stuck for his being voted Into their "frat," and they stuck for weeks. Louis R. Anderson then became member of the Nebraska chapter of Phi Delta Theta, because those older Phi Delts thought he must be a good boy, for his father was a good boy at Harvard Alumni Dine in Grand Ball Room NEW YORK. June 15. Two thousand grownup sons of John Harvard members of fifty-seven different Harvard clubs througout the world dined amidst the wealth ot crimson decoration In the grand ballroom ot the Hotel Astor to night. Joseph P. Choate ot the class of '62 presided. Theodore Roosevelt, '$0, was to have been one ot the speakers, but he had hurried away to Chicago this after noon. Led by a band the great gathering which had been in session at the Harvard club during the afternoon adjourned to the Astor at dinner time In jovial re union spirit. President Olney, of the New York Harvard club made the wel comng address. The speakers Included President Abbott Lawrence Lowell of Harvard, Dr. Edward H. Bradford, the newly elected dean ot Harvard Medical college; Albert Lowe Mills, an Oregon banker, who is an overseer ot the uni versity; Rev. Mlnot Osgood Simons 6f Cleveland, retiring president of the As soclated Harvard clubs; former Governor Augustus E. Wtllson of Kentucky and General Leonard Wood, U. S. A. The Associated Harvard club elected Stewart Shllllto ot Cincinnati president Iabell Coasalts O'XelH. Frank Isbell. as a director of the league, as well as a playing manager, made a visit to Chicago to advise Presi dent O'Neill as to the umpire situation, following the assault on Bert King of mm mm Jff:f niir:. ' !.:Ht Uiiti 3W& Nebraska In other years. The record of "Louis" at Nebraska proved that those seniors were right when they decided that the Genoa youth of 1908 had the "proper stuff in him." Last Friday "Louie" sailed on board the Finland tor Stockholm as the only Nebraska boy who will represent Amer ica tn the Olympic games this and next month. He and Nickelson, hurdler of the University of Missouri, were the only Missouri valley conference athletes picked to uphold the colors of America in those great games. Possibly if those senior Phi Delts had not selected "Louie" for their fraternity the youth would not have re ceived the encouragement at Nebraska which caused him to develop into the best mile runner that the Cornhuskers ever had, and to secure a place on the Olympic team. Many boys, because they wish to uphold the name of their fra ternity, go into athletics and other stu dent activities.' In many cases if they were not working for tho fraternity as well as for the university, they would not achieve success. le fraternity brothers 'of Louie Anderson told him to get out and make the track team. In the spring of 1910 he did make the track team and he broke all Nebraska records for the mile run. In the Kansas and Minnesota meets he copped first in the mile. He was become one of the best runners in the west In 1911 the Cornhusker star lowered the Missouri valley record , for the mile, taking this event at the conference meet and placing the time at 4:26. This record was broken at the Des Moines meet last month by Farquehar of Ames, who de feated Anderson by a tew feet Far quhar also took the mile run in the meet of the western conierence schools at Evanston (Northwestern field) two woeks ago Saturday.

Patterson of the Chicago Athletic association, and beat the record time Shepherd made at the Olympic games in England four years ago. Patterson was first, but Anderson Voed less than six inches to him. The time was 4:02. This time is one second less than the Olympic record ot 1908. In 19U Anderson won the mile run against Minnesota In the dual contest be tween Nebraska and that school. His time then was 4:34. He also won the two milo record race in this meet In 10:07, making a new Nebraska record. Against Ames that year he won the mile tn 4:46. The 880-yard run also went to him. In the 19U struggle with Kansas he won the mile in 4:44. Anderson ran on the Ne braska cross-country team in 1310 and 191L and was captain of this team in 19U.
