BENSON NAMED .
Argued

Will Succeed Rabat
Watt 3 s Graduate

Manager of Athlet-
ics There

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.——Reynolds
Benson, Columbia Engineering, 1916
has been selected to succeed Bob
Watt a. graduate manager of ath-
ietics. according to a, statement is-
sued by Charles Halstead Mapes.
chairman of the committee on ath-
letics. Watt tendered his resignation
to the committee recently Wlil" Feb
runry 1 set as the date it was to
take effect. but it is new thought
that he will hold his present posi-
tion until after alumni day. which
will be held on February 12.

The new graduate manager has
been actively connected with sui-
ietic ever since he first enrolled as
I. student at Morningside Heights.
Benson played, varsity basketball
and aided Columbia to a great ex—
tent in capturing the intercollegiate
title in 1911-12. The following year
the quintet tied with Cornell for the
championship and once more Ben-
son was a leading factor in the suc-
cess of the team. His work on the
five stood out to such an extent that
he was elected to pilot his team dur-
ing his senior year.

“hen the outdoor sports held
sway Benson went out for the base-
ball team and had little difficulty
securing a. regular berth in the in-
field in 1915 and 1916. In the lat-
ter year Columbia was credited with
having the best college nine in the
country, elng rated even higher than
Holy Cross, which up to this time
had been supreme in college base-
ball.

Bob Watt. whom Benson will suc-
ceed. was captain of this team a.
it; was for his excellent work that
\Vatt received an offer of $10,000
from the Federal League. Watt did
not. accept this offer from the out-
law organization, but instead went
with Detroit and was farmed out to
the Southern League for a. little
more seasoning. Just when Watt Wu
about to be recalled to the Ameri-
can League this country entered the
war and \Vatt immediately volun-
teered his services.

Before “'3". turns his post over to
Bcnson it is very probable that the
present graduate manager will liaise
nit; work on the football schedule for
next year. which lacks only the
Thanksgiving Day game 'of being
completed. In former )ears the Blue
and White entertained Dartmouth
on. the final Thursday in November.
but; as the Hanoverlans have de-
clded to end their season earlier
than usual Columbia will be forced
to seek another opponent for the
final contest of the season. Several
colleges have been approached, but
all have been forced to turn the of-
fer down for one, reason or Another.

Syracuse alone stands ready to
meet the Moringsiders. but the Col-
umbia. athletic committee, does not
seem over anxious to put its stamp
of approval on the game. Syracuse
had an exceptionally strong eleven
last season. and as only five mem—
bers of the squad will be lost
through graduation Chick Meehan
should turn out an even better com-
bination next fall. “'ith Penn, Wil-
liams. Cornell a’nd the Army ai-
reudy on the schedule. the Columbia
authorities are of the opiniOn that
the present program is dimcult
enimgh without the addition of Sy-
racuse. Columbia. had a. strenuous
schedule last season and next fall's
looks aver heavier, so I’crcy Haugh-
ton will be forced to work at top
speed to turn out a winning team
during his second year at. Morning-
side Heights.

Finally Havers was called upon

Last Season

 

NEW HAVEN, Feb. 1.--Yale has
three athletes who are or have been
been, until recently, members of
three branches of sport, two of (Lem
m350r sports. an unu'iual achieve-
men: under competition as keen as
athletic standards of the ar-=senl. de-
mand. The trio includes Charley
O‘Hearn, Yale's most brrlnarit all-
iound athlete. a stellar periormei in
football. baseball and hockey; H‘J‘il")
Scott. member of football, baseball
and hockey teams; and Hilly Neale,
who has figured on Yale's IOUIDJII
baseball and basketball teams.

Perhaps, of the three. Nualc's ex—
ploits have been the MOS' famous.
because he made his attictic iisig-
nia *on similar teams in West {ir-
ginia. before he came to Yale. lie
is brother of Clarence ‘Grc;sy"
Neale, the former Cincinnati out-
fielder, and middle-west fauloall
player .ind coach.

Neale‘s \‘nrled Exploits

Neale has had two seasons of
Yale football as halfback and nus
played left field on the Yale nine
the same length of time. This nus
included a difficult sunfieid lu¥9n~
ture, and has been accompanied
with batting averages close to the
Yale top. Although a ullddlu West
lasketball star three seasons ago.
and a. Yale regular last year his
court play has slumped materially
this season and he is rated a: only
third reeerve guard. He is counted
upon to wind up his Yale Career
next spring. however, as left :ieid
regular.

acot‘ t Shines 0. the Ice

Henry Scott's hockey gznne is one
of the outstanding features of the
Yale ice season. He is regulal for-
ward and his goal shunting has
given the team a large siicc of .hc
victories over Princeton. Peninsu-
vnnla. Dartmouth. Willian s and the
two principal Canadian culicge
teams. McGiil University and The
Queen‘s College. He sta- led in the
box as freshman baseball pitcher
two years ago, but did not .eport
last year. He/ is counted upon to
take his turn in the box nevt sp 112;.
He was football Inlfback a. : :ar ago

N'E‘V YORK. Feb. 1.~~Therc was
keen distress along tho sow among
the writers yesterday over the dc-

cision of John McGraw to send Mose
Solomon to Toledo for a year of sea-

Mose was a colorful person for the
scribes. McGraw stuck him in in a

fall. After having struck out twice
Homerlm Mose arose to the occasion
in the last inning and \vhalcd a hit
down the third base line that won the
game. ‘

the theme of a skitAt the baseball
writers dinner.

"You fellows have done a lot of
kidding about my home-run hitter
from out Kansas way," said McGraw
last night. “but I want to tell you
that Moee Solomon is a likely pros-
pect. He's mighty liable to be a big
leaguer of real calibre.

“There is a lot he doesn‘t know.
He is green and needs much exper-
ience in the finer points. I am send-
ing him to Toledo for a year Just to
get that experience. Just one sea~
son in a Class AA league and he'll
come strong.

“I am sorry to lose Mose Solomon.
but I'm all set on my pitching staff
now and there's nothing to worry
about. “'e've got the stuff. Just
look over the list of those nineteen
pitchers. You’ll see that I've signed
