TVc mail not cheer your land's intent,
Where Belgium struoolcs In the

But in the forefront of the fray,
Out there among the tattling clan,
The wide world turns your way to say
"SOME 3JAN1"

The Big Guess
Even among; thoso who should Itnow
this Juarez affair has turned Into the
Great Guess, with all tho known laws
of dope badly frayed and bent.
It Is generally admitted that TVUlard
Rould never have a clianco with John
son ll tho Zulu was near old-time

Corbett, Fitzslmmons or Jeffries.
But at present no one has tho range
of Johnson's condition, meaning; his

for Z or 15 rounds.
The Sole International
There Is practically no chance now
extant to arrange any International
sporting devices In the way of lawn
tennis, golf, polo or yachting. The Bole
.International entry left with a chance
to continue his profession Is Freddie
Welsh.
"Welah lifted the lightweight cham
pionship last July. Since that fight
ht has drawn his share of the soft
money and tho 10-round fox trots. So
Jt Is now about high time for Freddie
to give Itltchle or "White a chance to
renew the International fracas over the
longer route. "Which he Isn't very
likely to do as long as the public at
large continues to pay regular money
to watch him in one of these 10-chapter
smears.
The Teuton at Play
Sir Here's a proposition In sport
that has often puzzled me. Germany,
us a .nation at borne, hardly goes In
for sport at all. In Germany they
have- no national game, no boxing. Ut
ile tennis and leas golf, Germany
simply Isn't a nation of athletes. Yet,
here In America, the Germans go- In
strongly for sport. Xaok at such base
ball Stars as Wagner Pfeffer, Pfelster,
Bchulte, Iobert, Ilerxog, Schaefer and
dozens of others. And In addition to
this, aermans In America, are well rep
resente4 among the best boxers, and
In other ways of sport. Some of our
bet football players have been, -Teuton
all the wax through. If Germans in
America, talce so readily and; aptly to
jsport, -why la there so little sport In
Germany T BYSTANDER,

"A number of folks," remarked Bill,
"have figured that since Larry dropped
down to .258 last season, and this hap
pens to be his 20th year, he Is about

bet that Larry bats well over .300 again

TO WED OR NOT TO WED,
QUESTION FOR PLAYERS
Married Men Assert They Are Better Ball Players,
While Single Ones Take Opposite View Ollie
O'Mara Takes a Crack at Benedicts' Actions.
There's a heated debate going on Just
now In baseball droits over this subject:
"Is a married ball player of more value
to a club than a bachelor ball player?"
Ono faction the wedded faction as
serts loudly that the wedded man is
more valuable to the club, white another
faction the unwedded men take the
opposite viewpoint, writes Frank O,
Menke, of the International New Service.
Xt looks like a deadlock.
The wedded fellow says that after a
ball player seta married he quits frtvollnff
and that the less frtvollns the bttter tt
Is for the ball club aa a whole. That
faction asserts that after a ball player
Sots married he becomes steadier In hi
habits; ho doesn't stay out all night, or
even half the night He realties that he
has a family, responsibilities, and that
he must keep 'working ao as tojiold his

KELLY POOL THE
BAR PENN STUDENTS
FROM CLUB COLORS
Athletic Committee Takes
Drastic Action With Red and
Blue Track Men.
Hereafter no student who Is a candi
date for truck and field honors with tho
.varsity or freshman teams at ,tho Uni
versity of Pennsylvania will be allowed
to represent an athletic club during the
academic year, from October 1 to June 1.
Announcement of the new addition to the
eligibility code was made today by Dr.
It. Talt McKenzle, acting chairman of
tho University Athletic Committee, dur
ing tho absence of Doctor Goodspced In
Europe.
This rule Is tho result of tho notoriety
given to J. n. Meredith, the star middle
distance runner, who, through a misrep
resentation of the rules by the Registra
tion Committee of tho Mtddlo Atlantic A.
A. V., was permitted to represent nn ath
letic club In open meets.
The new rule. Doctor McKcnzIo said,
applies only to the track team. It was
urscd In some quarters that applying this
rule only to track men would be unfair
discrimination, but the committee felt It
would be unwise to pass a blanket tule
which would work an injustice In other
sports. It was pointed out that In tennis
and golf students of the university rep
resent various country clubs on Saturdays
during the school year, and It was felt
that tho passage of a rule prohibiting
this would be unjust. In towing, too, It
was pointed out that the University
hasn't proper accommodations for the
students who wnnt to row and that It
would bo unfair to Interfere with their
present practice of rowing with tho vari
ous clubs along the rler.
The track resolution was originally In
troduced by the track committee, of which
both Meredith and Captain Llpplncott are
members. This committee unanimously
recommended tho new rule which was ap
proved by the Board of Directors and
then turned over to the University Athle
tic Committee for action.

PRINCETON CREW REFUSES
TO ROW OVER LONG COURSE
Orange and Black Shell Will Not Be Entered in
Poughkeepsie Regatta This Year Coach Believes
Distance Is Very Harmful to Men.
There will be no Princeton crews In the
Poughkeepsie regatta as long; as tho dis
tance of this annual race remains at
four miles. This Is the decision reached
by tho Tiger athletic authorities and Just
made publlo by Donald O. Herring, one
of Princeton's athletlo advisers, Although
Princeton has never asked to be allowed
to row on the Hudson, It Is certain that
the Tigers would be recetved with open
arms If they requested admission. But
Princeton doesn't wlah to row four miles,
and never will row this distance as long
as Dr. J, Duncan Spaeth remains at
coach. .Doctor Spaeth, who Is a graduate
of tho University of Pennsylvania, class
of J68S, where ho rowed for four years
on the Quaker crews, knows the rowing
game as well as any man In America.
His contribution to the argument aa to
Whether a four-mile race la dangerous or
not is well worth while. Hla views are
set forth by Mr. Herring-, aa follows;
"Doctor Spaeth believes, with the ma
jority of rowing coaches, that young men
can be trained to row four miles at rac
ing speed without resultant Injury to the
bart, but he emphatically does not be
i ve that young men at Princeton should
take from the moro Important phases of
their college life sufficient time to pre
pare themselves for a raca of four miles.
Doctor Spaeth balloves that a race of
less than four miles will servo to decide
relative superiority aa well as a longer
distance, and at tho same time the prep
aration for tha shorter distance can be
mads a real pleasure for the man in the
boat
'Moreover, he practices what h
preaches Bowing men at Princeton do
get real pleasure out of their practice, win
their share of victories and maintain a
standard ot scholarship above that of
tha men who partlclpat in tsoti other

Hlght members of tho International
League will post $10,000 each, March 15,
at New York! Of course there Is no
money in baseball, but how how much
is eight times ten thousand?
Perhaps Connie's Right
Connlo Mack's opinion In baseball Is
generally a fairly safe thing to bank on,
sports. In effect, Doctor Spaeth has con
vinced the men under his direction that It
Is better to sacrifice a degree of hyper
efficiency necessary to compete success
fully to their permanent physical Injury
at four miles to the Ideal of sport for
sport's sake; has reconciled them, to tho
Idea of racing a shorter distance because
they can do' It with less tlmo taken .from
more Important things and get real en
joyment from the dplng of It."
Herring InslsU that there Is no scJentlflo
reason for tha four-mile distance. He
points out that because Oxford and Cam
bridge crows, trained under radically dif
ferent conditions, established the four
mile distance, Harvard and Yale, adopted
It because It was the standard across the
water. Then, he says, the Poughkeepsie
course was made the same distance which
was hallowed at New London. Sentiment,
lis maintains. Is the sole reason for Us
retention,
Mr. IXerrlng also makes some very ln
!?.''." observations cdncernlng Vivian
Nlckalls, tho Pennsylvania coach, who
now Is tha strongest advoca6 among
American coaches of the four-mile dis
tance for American crews. What Herring
objects ta most about Nlckalls' support
of the four-mils distance Is his state
ment that. "I have. neVer yet known
any man to bo permanently Injured by
rowing, for to taka part-In any race your
physical condition must be excellent"
Mr. Herring, who, like Mr. Nlckalls. Is
also an Oxford man. deolares that Nick.

And all fandom, by that token, it coj;

Oh, the winter days arc dreary and Iffl
farmer groweth weary
And of leaving somewhat leery 'crei
merry days of spring;
Swiftly toward us spring Is tdnsffl
aoon the bluebirds will be swm
And'lhe basehlts will be Unglnn, 'tin
ring blood of age and youth;
Let us. then, have patience, tcalfwj
until sound of umps berating
And of wallops do their baiting 'cm
ice take his words as truth.
We'll Miss You, Boy!
