"WATCHING BOARD L One of the most important factora in the development of the champion ship football eleven at Princeton thla fall was the unflagging spirit dis played throughout the season by Coach Nat Poe'a Omelettes, tha squad composed of Ineligible and second string playera, who, by dint of their faithful, work, were instrumental to a large extent In bringing the covet ed championahtp laurels to Tiger- town. , , Coach Bill Roper states that It was largely the efforts of the Omelettes, coupled with keen competition for every position In. the 'varsity lineup. that was responsible for the fighting spirit which enabled the Orange and Black playera to stage their sensa tional rallies at critical momenta of play "" , There were on this year's Omelette team aeveral men whose playing was of a sufficiently high caliber to win for them berths on the varstty had it not been tor scholastic difficulties. The academic requirements at Princeton are unusually strict, and as a consequence there are quite a few men of outstanding football ability who were eliminated from ac tive participation In athletic con tests because they have not been able to maintain the classroom standing required by the university faculty. To lessen ineligibility of players next season Coach Bill Roper haa already started a campaign urging aspirants for the football team to keep up In their atudles. It Is peouliar what a change of atmosphere or of coaches will do for a football player. Two years ago Fordham had on Ita squad a young ster from Clason Point hfSttary academy. a youngster popularly known as "Count Vagara." Somehow or other, he could not make the grade net up by Joe Du Moe. at 'that time (t le Maroon coach. Tet today he stand forth on the gridiron as one of Route Roekne's regular ends at Notre Dame. And everybody knows that to. hold down a flank for the great Rockne a player muat possess every football requisite and then some. Undefeated and boasting of the best record ever turned In by any West Virginia university eleven In the SI years of gridiron participation the 1922 Mountaineer campaign was the most successful In the schools history. Vitt. W. and J., Rutgers, In diana. Virginia, Wesleyan, Cincinnati and Marietta were defeated In good games by the powerful Spears-coached machine. But for a 12-11 deadlock with Washington and Lee, the Moun taineers' slate would be void of the slightest blur. In' winning the highest honors aver earned by a West Virginia squad the Spearsmen amassed a total of 24t points to 81 for their opponents. They were not scored on In their last six games and but for an "off day' against W. and L would have end ed the season with a wonderful record. Mountaineer fana are greatly In cenaed as the result of the rating given by Kaatern football crltlos, Some of these scribes rate tharSpears- men below Pitt, which was defeated by the 'varsity and Penn and Syra cuse, which In turn were trimmed by the Panthers How any sane person can rate an undefeated team below an eleven which Is defeated Is more than Mountaineer fans can under' stand. They feel that the West Vir ginia eleven Is being treated unfalr-l IjMMd'have wattsan letters requesting the newspspermen to "give predlt where credit Is due." Football students know that com parative scores are as valuable In football as a bicycle pump to blow up a balloon. Critics rave, fana tear their hair and plain folk merely argu iover the respective merits of the va rious teama, and usually the argu ment ends where It started, 1n a splendid outburst of hot air. Occa sionally, nowever, opportunities are afforded for comparison that really lead to something tangible In draw ing a bead on various styles, systems' and methods of play which cannot be Ignored. Such bases for comparison will be afforded when east and went meet In battle array on the Pacific coast.

Glenn Warner, now coach at tha Panther institution, la going, to the Golden Slope to coach Stanford either next season or the season fol lowing. As a sort of herald to warn of the approach of the Old Master, Warner recommended Andy Kerr, former assistant at Pittsburgh, to coach the eleven during the past sea son. Pittsburgh methods were taught The women tennis players in Eng land have entered the lawn tennis reform movement which Is now going on abroad. Mrs. Lambert Chambers la one pf the candldatea for election, the first woman' who ha ever sought the honor. The reform party la try ing to oust the "old gang" which haa been In control for many years. Tha new party, If It gets control, means to Institute more liberal relations with oher tennis playing countries, especially the United Btatea. Should the reformers gain control It is believed the provisions of the In ternational Federation will be amend ed to meet the approval of the Unlr- ted Statea Tennla association .and in that event the American body will undoubtedly join. A. Wallis Myers puts much stress on the necessttly of England's effect ing a better relationship with thla country, the champion tennis nation of the world. Ha also-polnts out the Impotence of the International Fed eration owing to the non-inclusion of this county. "The United Statea will not," he says, "come in as long as England placards her Wimbledon championshipa as world's champion ships." Such titles are valueless un less' backed .and recognised by the chief tennis playing nations, and American dlsaent robs them of any real moral wortbu.

The aky la blue and tha sun la warm in Bexaa county in March and the blue-bonnets are In bloom. It Is an Ideal playground for baseball players and the Giants' visits to the Alamo City have beenj followed With such singular success In a baseball way that It is no won der the New Tork club la super stitious about making a change.

Threatened Attempt to Force Jack Dunn's Hand Falls to Materialize. ; STILL OPPOSE THE DRAFT (Sir Aaodtnd Ftea.) New Tork, Deo, 11. Adoption of a 16) game schedule tor 1921, with the season opening April II and dosing September 21. constituted thev chief business transacted today at the opening of the International league's annual meeting. It waa understood this schedule waa adopted after clubs In the southern half of the circuit had advocated shortening the season ta .M4.taB3KKha past season was 16 game baala,' Tha club owners appointed a sched ule committee which will meet In February to frame schedule details. Opening gamea; with the tour northern clubs planing In rival terri tory, were' fixed as follows: Buffalb at Reading; Rochester at Newark; Toronto at Jersey City and Syracuse at Baltimore. A threatened attempt by certain club owners to force the hand of Jack Dunn, Baltimore owner, in con nectlon with hia agreement made laat June to dispose of thre Oriole stars who had helped the club make a run away race of the pennant conteat for several aeaaona, tailed to materialise today, acoordlng to President Toole, Mr. Toole added that be considered it Impossible that any such attempt would be made when the magnates convene attain at 11 a. m tomorrow for their final session. It was pointed out, however, that the Baltimore owner already haa complied with part of his agreement by disposing of Jack Bentley, star pitcher and first Daaeman to the New Tork UlaMs. and that he would have until the ooenlna oime is j a season to sell or axchange oiner atara, including probably Joe Boley, shortstop: Max Blshon. second baseman, and Jack Ogden or "Lefty" droves, pitchers. He haa received a number of offers for one or more of these playera from both American and National league cluba, - In declaring the draft a dead Issue so far aa the International league was concerned, President Toole re vealed that several other minor leagues planned to seek exemption from the selective law, which In ad- anion to tne International, is not recognised by the American associa tion. Pacific Coast, Western, or Three I leaguea He mentioned the Eastern league and Southern association, both class "A" circuits, as among the lead ers In the new "Insurgent" move. nnne me present seven year agreement between the majors and minors, signed January 1!, 1981, ap parently binds for the life of the paot all leagues that accepted the draft at that time. President Toole expressed it as nis unofficial opinion that loophole existed 'for further exemp tions. The terms of the agreement provid ed that any league not desiring to accept the draft should- serve notice to Commissioner Landls on or before February IB, 1921, In default of which notice they would be regarded as having accepted .the principle. The date of notification, however, from the major league viewpoint a year ago, Mr. Toole said, waa considered to mean February 15 ot any year during the agreement's existence. Such an Interpretation thus, he add ed, would give a minor league now bound by the draft the privilege of withdrawing from It at any time. No changes In the International circuit of organisation were discuss ed, according Uo President Toole. Seven of the eight clubs have se lected managers for next seaaon. The exception Is the Newark club ahere William Clymer'e contraot as pilot has not been renewed. It is understood a new leader la being sought. Two ot the- managera chosen ara newoomers, Dan Howley, former as sistant to Ty Cobb, manager of the Detroit Americans, succeeding Eddie Onslow at Toronto, while Spencer A.
