Interesting Sport Letter
Gathered From All Spheres
NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—A1l signs
point to a split in the United States
National Lawn Tennis Asseociation
over the question of the aniater stat
us of players who deal in lawn ten
nis supplies, unless there is a marked
back down on the part of either the
eastern or western factions. Both
camps have taken decided stands upon
the point an dthe breach is widening
daily.
The veiled threat of the Pacific
States Lawn T.ennis Association to
break away from the National Asso
ciation and establish a rival organiza
ution has aroused considerable feeling
among the members of the parent
body and the coming annual meeting
is likely to bring forth some frank
expressions of opinion upon the sub
fleet. The controversy comes at a
(particularly inopportune time since
the U. S. N. L. T. has gone on rec
ord as favoring the reising of the am
ateur standards as suggested by the
recent conference of sport governing
bodies in this city under the auspices
of the I. C. A. A. A. A.
Fortunately tennis has reached a
point in popular interest in this coun
try where action of any group or even
1 a national governing body will have
’ilittle effect, if any, upon the game it
j self or the thousands of players who
participate in the sport for the pleas
ure and exercise that tennis gives.
Tournaments and tournaent players
will be the sufferers and a split will
have the effect of curtailing the en
tries and the glamor of intersectional
and all-star court battles.
With the possibility of international
t r Davis Cup matches out of .the qu.es
for several years at least, the
field is clear for a final threshing out
o’ a question which would have to be
answered within a few years at best.
It is to be hoped that the status of
the amateur and porfessional in ten
nis will be clearly defined before the
next Davis Cup joust and in the
mean time the tennis atmosphere will
have been celared without ill-effect
upon the game and the thosanuds who
play it without ulterior motives.

Old Eli’s History.
The delving into the Yale football
history by Walter Camp has uncov
ered a number of interesting features
not the least of which is the use of
s ignals by the Eli elevens in the days
of long ago. In commenting upon
this work Henry B. Twombly, quar
terback on the Yale teams of 1882
and 1883 .writes to the Alumni Weekly
on the old Yale football days, as fol
lows:
“Walter Camp is right in his first
written list of word signals used by
the Yale Team in 1882, but he has ap
parently forgotten the signal given on
the occasion of the first touchdown
made by Yale against Princeton since
j 1877. As boys playing in the Boston
I streets, ‘cheese it’ was our well-known
signal to look out for ‘cops.’ When
‘we were arranging signals in the fall
of 1882, I remembered well the glee
I with which Doc Beck, our right
' tackle, and I fixed it up that when the
1 signal ‘cheese it’ was given, he was to
i drop back behind the line for a quick
pass from the quarterback. After
considerable play in the Princeton
game at the old Polo Grounds on
November 30, 1882 Richgards dropped
I back apparently to try drop-kick for
i goal. But on the signal ‘cheese it!’
the Prfinceton line broke through the
Yale line with great ease to block
Richards’ kick. Such, however, had
been the intention on the part of the
Yale line; Doc Beck dropped back of
the line in exact time to get the ball
thrown over the heads of the charg
ing Tigers, and without a Princeton
man touching him. Beck rushed the
ball over for-a touchdown. I can see
old Doc now, with Yiis white hair
IHE DmILY UMLS-KECORDER
standing straight up, and a grin all
over his face, shouting out “How do
you like that, you Tigers?'”
Fair in Spite of War.
That the European sportsman will
retain his ideas of fair play, notwith
standing the war, is illustrated by an
incident which happened in Germany
recently. A German horseman named
one of his racers “Canaille Grey’’ out
of the fullness of his bitterness
against the English statesman and as
a result brought down upon himself
a stinging rebuke from Herr von
Tepper-Laski one of Germany’s most
prominent sportsmen. To make the
rebuke doubly strong, its author sent
it to the most, widely read sporting
paper in the empire, out of which it
has been copied everywhere.
“I noticed a comment on the lack
of taste used in naming some of our
horses,’’ says Herr von Tepper-Las
ki’s statement. “As especially inap
propriate the name ‘Canaille Grey,
was mentioned. That is much too
mildly expressed ,and in my opinion
: , should have been the duty of the
proper persons to rectify the name.
What would we say if 'enemy' sports
men should misuse the name of our
statesmen in such slanderous ways.”
