/ HAUGHTON ENGAGED i TO PILOT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY GRIDS -Creator of Famous “Haughton System” To Install Entirely •/: New System. NEW YORK. March 10.—(By Associ ated Press.)—Percy D. Haughton, fa mous ae a football coach at Harvard f for nine years, and creator of the so called “Haughton system," has accepted appointment as gridiron mentor at Co lumbia university. It was announced i late today by Robert W. Watt, gradu ate manager of athletics. Haughton succeeds Frank J. (Buck) O'NelU, who ; retired last fall when his three-year contract expired.' Haughton, It was announced, will de vote his entire attention to Installing a new gridiron regime at Columbia, whose showing has been a disappoint : ment to graduates and under-graduates ever since the game was restored In V No dealls of Haughton’s contract were revealed but It was understood K called for a term of years as head coach at a salary said to be one of the highest ever given a gridiron mentor. A letter addressed to Haughton by . Nicholas Murray Butler, president of - Columbia, who is now in Augusta, Ga., • and welcoming the former Harvard ' coach to his new poet* was made .pub s 11c in connection with the announce ment of his appointment. Haughton, now associated with banking interests In Boston, was head coach at Harvard from‘ 1908 to 1916. During that period the unusual succees Achieved by Crimson elevens under his ■■ tutelage gained Haughton rank among the foremost football directors of the country. Hie 1914 and 1915 teams, both of which administered to Yale the most crushing defeats ever seen at the hands of her Cambridge rival,, were * regarded as among the most power ful and best drilled in gridiron history. ' Jn 1916 Haughton, representing a Bos ton syndicate, acquired control of the Boston National Deague baseball club, of which he became president. He re signed in 1918 to enter the service as a major in the chemical corps. After the war he resumed his business connec tions in Boston. Haughton was both a, football and basball star in his college days,, being ! captain of the Harvard nine in 1899 and a crack end on the football team. For two years he also was head football coach at Cornell university. Dodgers Not For Sale McKeever AnnoAnees; Reports Are Denied NEW YORK, March 10—The Brooklyn National Leagne dub Is not lor sale, Stephen McKeever, part owner, declared today In a statement In which he also denied the existence of several offers re ported to have been made for the Dodgem within the past few days. “So much has been published lately about alleged offers to pur chase the Brooklyn National I,ensue. baseball club,’* Mr, Me Keever's statement said, “that we wish to state the club is not for sale. We know nothing about these alleged offers and were they. In fact, made, they would be re fused. We have never considered a sale, nor is it our desire to sell. “In order to correct any Impres sion which may have been created through the circulation of reports that the dub Is for sale, we beg to mnke this announcement,” Mr. McKeever, with his brother, Edward J. McKeever, owns a half Interest' in the dub. It was not revealed, however, whether his statement also reflected the atti tude of President Charles H. Eb betts, who controls the other half interest and is now at the team’s training camp at Clearwater, Fla., the source of reports concerning offers for the purchase of the club. New Hanover Freshies Beat Leland Highs New Hanover' county high school freshmen basketball team went to Le land yesterday, playing and: defeating the school team of that place by k score of 21 to 12. This was done with a crippled Quintet as the captain and one player of the locals failed to reach ,Leland. i Tfce game was interesting and was witnessed by quite a number of specta tors, who, although rooting hard for , their team, failed to cheer them on to victory. The line-up of the teams'-was as follows: Leland (12) ... Wilmington (21) Positions. Skipper .. Platt Right Forward ghaw . Burkheimer, Left Forward. White .. Walton f Center. Brew .. Hatch Right Guard. Broadway . Bellamy Left Guard. Wilmington is the Logical Point for Proposed Annual State Basketball Tourney ■ ^ - #r Reasons Why the Event Should Take Place In the Cape Pear Me tropolis Are Enumerated By David Sinclair, Jr., a Wil ‘ mington Boy Now Attending the University. ' . David Sinclair, Jr., of this city, who is attending* the University of North Carolina, has written the Star as fol lows, outlining: reasons why the pro posed state baskejball tournament should be held In w/wington: “There has been some talk going ‘the rounds’ to the effect that North Carolina should have a basketball tournament for the schools of higher learning similar to the staged annu ally in Atlanta for the entire south land. The southern tournament in Atr lhnta has come to be a big thing and has given ‘the New York of the South’ much added publicity. . . “If such plan materializes foi. our state by 1924, it will mean a big thing for the North Carolina city that suc ceeds in landing it. Our fhir city, due to our Isolated location In the extreme southeastern corner of the state, has never (and X think you will agree) had her share of inter-collegiate con tests. This proposed tournament would give the entire eastern section a chance to see our college athletes per form as well as allow the alumni of the different colleges a ohanoe to yell once more for alma mater as they did back in their college days. In short, it would mean a ‘feather in the cap’ of the city which is fortunate enough to obtain it. “It’s true we are Isolated, so to speak, but our far-away looatlon makes us the logical choree of all North Car olina cities, due to the fact that we are not near any of the colleges that would compete, and could therefore not be accused of showing an unbal anced partiality. “Durham is too near to the univer sity and Trinity 1b located in the Bull City, that would give those two teams an undue advantage over the rest. Ral eigh Is not far away from Wake For est- and North Carolina State is in the suburbs of our capital, so the Baptists and the Aggies would fare too well there. Greensboro is right at Guilford College and Elon is only a stone’s throw away, it would be to the Quak ers’ and Christians’ advantage to stage the tournament in the Gate City. Char lotte, another prospect, is too close to Davidson, which would give the Pres byterians an edge. Asheville would not so, as Weaver college and Catawba might compete. But look at the C^y* by-the-Sea, we are logical and ideal choice, not near to any particular one, not partial to any particular one, but interested in all. Now other cities, such as Winston-Salem, High Point, Salisbury, Goldsboro, Rocky Mount, Wilson, Gastonia, etc., will all be mak ing bids for the tournament. If we want it, it’s not going to be given to us on a silver waiter. We have got to go after it. From a publicity stand point, it will raise Wilmington 50 per cent in the state. It will bring in many visitors and in general will give us a reputation for ‘doing things.’ "I also wrote the secretary of the chamber Of commerce concerning the Bame matter. I hope the business men of Wilmington and the various civic leagues will get behind this and put it over. “I am’not in the business of ath letio promoter, and believe me, sir, when I say my sole motlve'in suggest ing this matter-to you Is for no per-< sonal reasons, but only tb boost Wil mington.” . - ' f, Asheville Highs Wm State Honors in Basketball Race CHAPEL HILL, March 10.—The Ashe ville high school won- Its second state championship thisyear herV tonight when its basketball team defeated the Smithfield high school in one of the closest games ever played on the By num gym court. The.sopre was 24 to 23 and it was not until the last whis tle that either team could be declared winner. The lead alternated throughout the game, never becoming as much as five points. The Smithfield boys put up' a great fight hut at the crucial moment Brown, Smithfield guard, failed In two free tries that would have given his team the game. | ' Smithfield took the lead immediate ly after the first whistle when Hill scored two pretty field goals. Brown then scored a foul goal which was fol lowed! by a field and two foul goal* iy James, of Asheville. The first quarter [ended Smithfield five, Asheville four. James caged a field goal .at life begin ning of the quarter and was followed by one by Stephenson. Nixon and James then came back with a field goal each Holland scored two points for Smithfield Just before the end of the half making the score Asheville 11, Smithfield 9. Nixon opened the last half with A field goal for Asheyille. Hill soon fol lowed with a two pointer for Smithfield. Hill tied the score with the speotacular shot of the game, caging the ball from mldJ-flpor. James scored three free tries which were followed by a field goal by Holland. The quarter ended Asheville 16, Smithfield 16. The final quarter was nerve racking. Stephenson caged a Held goal for Smlth fleld which was followed by a pretty goal by Chaklea. James followed with a field goal putting his team In a three point lead. Stephenson scored a field goal. James caged two pretty ones from the field which were followed by a goal by Skinner. Brown scored two foul goals bringing his team within one point of tying the score but failed to make three free tries that would have won the game for his team Jn the last minute of play. t James was the outstanding star of the game, scoring six field goals and six free tries 'out of 18 attempts. His floor work was some of the prettiest seen here this year. Brand played a good game at center for the Mountain eers. Brown, of Smithfleld, was the star for his team, although he only scored three out of ten free tries. His floor work was one of the features of the game Hill led his team in scor ing making four field goals. Asheville. Smithfleld. Position. James . Hill Bight Forward. Nixon..'.Holland Left Forward.

LOUIS, March 10.—Did the St. Louis Browns make a mistake in per mitting ‘‘Stuffy” Mclnnis to be waived out of the American league? St. Louis lost the pennant in the American league last year by the scant margin of one game. Unquestionably the Browns are one of the best clubs in the league. No team has a better i chance for the 1923 pennant. Odd as it may sound, the one debat able spot in the Browns’ infield is first base. At that position the team has the greatest player of all time—George Slsler. But what about his condition? Just prior to the all-important series with New York last summer Sirler in jured his shoulder. He played against New York despite the advice of his physician, t Had he been in form the Browns would have won the edge in that series and probably the pennant. The Browns lacked a substitute for Sisler last year. There is some doubt as to his. condition this year. It seems that*a club with a chance for the pen-: nant could have made no better move to fortify itself than to take Mclnnis on for the coming season. As an understudy to. Sisler and, a pinch hitter, Mclnnis would have beeil invaluable. incidentally his addition Golf Ccjurses Help Sell Land in South MIAMI, Fla., March 10.—Southern capitalists have found a new scheme to use g-olf to aavantage. Golf has come so fast in the last 10 years that its devotees are numbered in the millions. "When a golf enthusiast figures on building or buying a home he immedi ately gives thought as to the golf ac commodations in his locality. Therein lies the big idea of southern capitalists who have invested their money in real estate. Throughout the south, Florida in particular, when some big real estate venture is planned involving millions of dollars, the loca tion of a golf course is given first con sideration. In Miami, three big allotments have been plotted in the last two years. Faoh boasts a beautiful golf ooures that ia completed and being used, de spite the fact that many other features of the allotment are just being started, theory that men in a position to pay big prices for real estate must have their golf. The idea is getting great results in the south. to the lineup would have greatly strengthened the morale of the olub, whloh may be shot to pieces if SisJer’s Injury should handicap his play. French To Take Over More Mines in Ruhr ■ •• . i ! '■ •• ’ i i BERLIN, March 10.—(By the Asso- | dated .Press.)—Correspondents of Bpr- j lin papers in the Ruhr say they are reliably informed that the French in tend to. .begin operating' all' the coal mines in the Ruhr on March 18 with the aid of Polish labor. . . Reports from Oelsokirchen are to the effect that all tae mines are to be mil- j itarily occupied, and that troop move- : ments for this purpose were already | under way. The commission of engi neers which accompanied the'' first troops entering the Ruhr is said to have been enlarged by 60 members. According to. one correspondent, a group of French commissionres ap peared today at* the offices of a Gelsen kirchen company's foundry neltr Reck linghausen and^demanded, permission to visit the plant They were accom panied by troops with tanks and, when the demand was rejeoted, forced their way in under a guard with fixed bayo nets and) made a three hour inspection. All the. workmen in the foundry ceased work when the commissioners entered. The visitors are said to have had with' them a detailed map of the works.
