Bach of the big trio of eastern teams had a man who stood head and shoulders-above the rest In prominence this year. Princeton had Sanford B. White, other- wise "Sammy," Harvard had Wendell, and Yale had Camp. The last, named was the most versatile of the three.

He was as great a defensive nlnyer as were the tho others: ho was almost as good groiina-gainer as wenaen ana ne was, in addition, one of the star -punters aftoV drop-klckers of the season. The others were scarcely of college caliber when It came to kicking. Sam White is almost assured of the captaincy of Princeton's, 1913 eleven because of hl wonderful work In winning the Yalo and Harvard games this year, whether he does well next year or not. In the event that Cam-p and Wendell are selected for next year's Yalo and Harvard leaders each of the teams will have its captain playing a different position than tho man who bore Its standard this year. Eddie Hart of Princeton was a tackle, while his successor, Pendleton, Is a halfback.

Arthur Howe of Yale was quarterback, while Camp la a halfback. Bob Fisher of Harvard was a guard, while Wendell is a halfback. CHARLEY HEMPHIL ATLANTA, Doc.

ABOUT THE TITLE Johnson Doesn't Care Who Gets It, and Makes No Suggestions at the Claimants. (International News Service.) BY W. NAUGHTON.

-SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2. -When Jack Johnson first talked of retiring, many thought it was merely one of the champion's Whims, and that he wouid be back in tho game with both feet tho first time "proper indueementa" were made to him. New corroborating testimony is forthcoming that Jack Is through with the frivolities of the rlnET and that he in plagued with ennui to the extent that ho does not care a continental who succeeds to tho title. He waives all right to a voice In the bestowal of 'the laurels and says he has no suggestions to make as to tho heavyweights 'fitted to1 wear them.

This Is bad. It means tliore will bo a cloud on the heavyweight championship for years that the man who aswumos the prerogative without licking Johnson, will ho regarded as a pretended, a jackal masqueradlnc In a lion's skin. There must be continuity In a thing of this kind. Each succeeding champion la merely a link in a chain of destruction. The newest man or the latest one might say licked a champ'on who licked another champion and' so, link by link, wo trace our latest prize ring hero back to some dim and distant "champ," Just as a race horse traces to the Byerley Turk, or the Darcly Arabian.

When a broken link appears, there la a blot on the escutcheon of tho man whose reputatlonal pedigree wo are investigating and so it will be If Johnson escapes from the gamo unlickcd and someone grabs his title. This line -of argument is easily provpd sound. John Ij. Sullivan defeated Paddy Ryan, who defeated Joe Lewis; Jim Cor-' tett dffea ted Sullivan; Bob Kftzslmmons defeated Jim Corbett; JiiVi Jeffries defeated Boh Fltzslmmons and Jack Johnson dldnf do a thing to Jeffries. Just think of the mental suffering of the sporting editors of the future while trying to explain to Old Subscriber ana Constant Render that the old line of champions ended with Johnson and that the new breed Is only a kind of a Man-chu dynasty.

Somrithlnff must be done to stall off the contusion that threatens the Istlc historians of the commg years. We must drag Johnson back at any rrlce and this "goes both "ways," as the slamgisters say and have him troamched to the queen's taste. It should be done to keep the record straight and come to think of It. 'twill he merely what aome call "poetic retribution." The Jpffrles that Johnson deked was merelv the husk of the Jeffrlea that used to be. and Johnson" has as much right to hearken to the "come bock" cry as Jeffries had, especially if the price Is right.

There's another angle to the question which is bound to engender bitterness of spirit. I refer to the racial aimle. If Johnson Is allowed to rest In peace there will come a time and ther succeeding times In which the men with the dark plnrment beneath' tho cuticle will cay: "The first negro that wu Given a ohance became the champion of the world. Thov couldn't defeat him and so as not to block tho heels of progress, he stppped aside and allowed them to arrange a fresh deal. The chain of destruction which beean witfi Flffff Men-doza pnded with Jnck Johnson.

Joe Joanette, through his manager. Dan McKettrlck, Is the first to lay claim to tho crown Inft on the bureau of Jack Johnson. McKettrlck says that his man has shown himself superior to Sam Lang-ford on various occasions and that It wasn't so much Australian gold as a desire to evade Jeanette that sent Lang-ford scurrying to the land of the Kangaroo. This Is the first snot in the new campaign and Jennetto probably has as much right to flro 'It as any other man. But how are things to be brought to a focus? With Johncon on tho retiring llft, atrtuto Hxinh Mcintosh is sure to bill the Impending Sam MoVca fight as a world's championship struggle, nnd who Is to gainsay him' Maybe tne best thlnff for Jennette to do Is bogln weeding out at this end.

Let him hook up with Jim Flynn, who seems to he regarded as tho bent of tho white heavies, and let the winner of that affair journey to Australia or ooax the winner of the McVea-Langford bout back to this. cltv. Then he will begin to Rot a lln on tho situation. Tom O'Tlourke, or some one back In New York has expressed tho opinion that a white man would be champion of tho world again before long. It Is not easy to see how the conclusion 1b nr-rlved at.

Tf there Is any white man in the lists at present who Is capable of defeating Jeanette. Langford and Mc-Vea, he Is beinw kept under cover. No, sir! 80 far as the palefaces are concerned, there Is little hope In tho outlook right now. And tho shadow of Johnson is liable to fall and thwart tho prospect nny time during the next few years. Jeffries on the occasion of his first retirement, said ho would hop back Into the game If 'a foreigner ever won tho championship from America and Jack Johnson will make up his mind to don his war paint again If the supremacy of tho black race Is threatened.

However, on account of tho inconveniont location on Sixth avenue and the Incomplete arrangements for taking care of thy crowds, there haH been little Interest vmanlfestcd In these basketball gonres.
