BOSTON. i’ov. 27.—-'i‘hcy are look-
ing for recruits from Huston again
in New York. In spite of the fact
that the Yankees had riddled the
led Sox and shot the outfit full of
holes before Bobbie Quinn came here
to succeed Harry Frazee. the world's
champions see. something still left at
Ii‘cmvay Park that might ,beneflt
them and therefore a. feeler has
been sent out-by the Yankee manage~
ment to the effect that a possible
trade is on again between the Sox
and the champions.
And whom do you think the Yan-
kees want to wish on the Beston
Red Sox? Nobody else but our old
friend Carl Mays. the under-handed
twirler who jumped the Red So: a
few seasons ago because he couldn't
remain any longer with them and
preserve his “self respect." The
Yankees have tired of Mays who
long ago outlived his usefulness ' in
New York. Mays has outlived his
usefulness in the American league.
too. for every club has waivedion
him. But the Yankee owners Still
revel in the thoughts of the slick
deals they made with. our shattered
Boston_tcam and are looking- for
the last drops of Red Sox life blood
(again. ‘
So they would like to wish curl
Mays on us once inure. and take in
exchange some hard hitting right
bender as Joe Harris or George
gima at Morgantown. It West Vir-
ginia wins the team must be panam-
ered as one ’of the better elevens' of
the season. It has done enough. to
warrant that decision. In the games
played in this city against Penn State
and Rutgers it tied and won. While
there were some who were disap-
pointed in the Penn State some be-
cause West- Virginia did notr'kin‘.
there were others who were ,mi'ty'
to give the eleven 3 better standing
after seeing it play Rutgers. "-W‘hiie’
Rutgers was soundly beaten; 1' it
played‘with a lot'of rugged 'po‘w‘ér
that has been manifest in allv‘lta
games this year. and it was no small
task to defeat Rutgers as soundlyis
West Virginia am defeat that eleven:
Vermont reaches out into " '
territory and faces a valor-out ,
inNMai-quette, and in a minor 87'
that: contest will demonstrate‘ oust
Bums.
But Huh fans need not fear that
any such traffic is to come off. Pre-
sident Bobbie Quinn who knows the
value of every individual player in
the American league. scoffed when
the rumored trade was mentioned
yesterday and said that there was
as much chance of Mays coining
back to Boston as there was of his
going to Congress. ' .
“All deals between Yankee and
Red Sox are finished." said Presi-
dent Quinn.
“'l\'recklng trades don't go any
more in connection with this club. 1
am gong to rebuild instead of tear
down. It Carl Mays comes back to
Boston it will be over my dead body.
I don‘t want him and I'm sure that
Boston fans don't want him either.
“Just make a not of the fact' that
both Harris and Burns are here. to
stay. I wouldn't consider any man
leaving here either through trade or
sale." . .
This effectually spikes the New
York yaran and is enough to con-
vince. New England fans that the
Yankees will draw no more nourish-
ment from the Boston club.

After seven long years of repeated
disappointment and defeat. Yale
again is established in her old tradi-
tional place as a leader in eastern
football. No one ever will know.
whether Memphis Bill Mallory's
mighty machine could have beaten
West Virginia or Cornell this fall
.but many will hold decided opinions
on the subject and will not hesitate
to rank the Eli: above all rival can-
didates for the mythical sectional
championship.
Cornell will almost certainly finish
her season without a defeat to max-
her record and “'est Virginia. here-
tofore unbeaten. though tied lay-Penn
State, probably will experience little
trouble in disposing of “'ashington
and Jefferson in their Thanksgiving
Day engagement. Neither will have
played as difficult a schedule as the
Eli: have, however. and this must be
considered in making the final
rating.
After the second week of the sea-
son. Yule did not meet a single “soft'.’
opponent. North Carolina. and
Georgia might have been viewed as
"set-ups." but then came Bucknell
and Brown. followed in rapid succes-
sion by “'est Point.
Maryland.
Princeton and finally Harvard. There
were six hard games, one right after
another. without a single breathing
spell to afford a moment’s rest.
That‘Yale completed such a sched-

her credit is proof beyond all quibble
