The Question of Gate Receipts
K "Gate receipts are not tho object of intercollegiate athletics," continues
Doctor Ebler. "They nro essential, for without them thero would bo no Inter
Wljeglate athletics. In this they do not differ from any other typo of organ
ized Interlnstltutional sports.
'Another fallacy Is that 'Intramural' sports, for all students, will flourish
.If Intercolleclato sDorts nro cut out. This Is founded on two Ideas, both of
which are fallacious: the first that the money saved by the elimination of tho
jblercolleglate expense could then be devoted to 'sports for nil tho students'; the
jciner that Intramural and intercollegiate activities aro antagonistic and can
Ijjot both be successfully conducted In tho same Institution.
E "The elimination of intercollegiate sports will automatically cut off the
llacorae from those snorts, and thero will bo no funds therefore to devote to
Dstrimural sports except na students are taxed, or the college appropriates
pun from its regular funds, or endowment is provided by generous alumni
r others.
B "That Intercollegiate nnd Intramural athletics aro not mutually exclusive
Iwech other Is shown by tho fact that sports for all students are most highly
Kereloped In those colleges nnd universities where there Is tho broadest de-
iveiopmej of Intercollegiate sport notably Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Michigan,
Wconflh and others.

READY FOR REGATTA
Elis Take Trial Spin on Lake
Carnegie for Big Races Tomorrow.
Pr.INCETON, May 14. The Yale crews
with their English equipment arrived hera
yesterday and took a trial spin over Lako
Carnegie as Inspiration for the race on
Saturday with Cornell and Princeton.
Both the Ella and the Tigers went over
the course. Cornell arrived this morning.
It was after 5 o'clock when Coach Guy
Ntckalls boated his men, varelty and
freahmen, and took them down the lako
to the dam at Kingston and back, in all
about bIx miles. Cleun blade work char
acterized the rowing of both, but they did
not appear to have great power and drive.
There was only one minute of fast work
and then the shell cut the water nicely.
Doctor Spaeth had the Princeton crew
out for an easy paddle with several rac
ing starts thrown In for practice. Their
work appeared even better than last Sat
urday, ITHACA, May 14 -The Cornell varsity
and freshman crews left for Princeton
last night to take part In the Carnegie
Lake regatta on Friday, but Coach Court
ney did not accompany them. The old
man believes that he has done all he
could for the crews and prfers to re
main at home and coach the Junior var
sity ciew for two uninterrupted days.
The varsity Is now believed to be ln
fair shape for the first contest The men
have Bhown a lot of Improvement In the
Ut few days, and Courtnty appears to
have welded a typical Cornell eight. The
final selection for stroke oar Is Andrus,
who held the poeltlon In the Junior var
sity at Poughkeepsle last spring.

the Jersey coast.
A few blackflsh were caught In tho
early part of the season outsldo nlong
with the cod. but they really itiako their
appearance InBhoro along In May, nnd
spawn In June. It Is Just before their
spawning season that they aro of the
best flavor, and can be found along tho
mussel beds, pilings, loefs, rockv ledges
and hugging the old wrecks off shore.
Tho clammers and ostcr men report
the annual devastation of their beds by
the red and black drum, this menus the
drum hnvo arrived from the Southern
wnters, and while the -.chools nt present
are scattered, they should In another
week make their appearance In the surf.
A few strlpeis were taken In Delaware
Bay by lino fishermen, anil larso catchei
were made by the net fishermen. This
was a week nno and by now they should
be taklnc tho hook.

Surf Fishing
An association of surf angling clubs
was formed In New York city last week
at a dinner given by tho members of the
Asbury Park Fishing Club. The dinner
was attended by delegates from Ocean
City. Asbury Park, Belmar. Midland
Peach Club. Ocean and Stream Fishing
Club of Newark and the Anglers Club of
New York
They style themseUes "The Associa
tion of Surf Angling Clubs," nnd have
nma'gamated to form this powerful or
ganization which nt the present time has
a membership of STOO.
The National Association of Sclentlflo
Angling Clubs sent as Its delegate tho
past president. Dr. J. E. Held, of New
York. All differences, real or Imaginary,
that existed between his association and
the surf angling clubs of tho Atlantic
coast undoubtedly will bo settled to the
satisfaction of all the clubs at an early
date, through the efforts of the new or
ganization. The conference was held at the Initial
suggestion of Dr Carlton Simons, present
holder of the world's record for surf
catling, and sponsored by the Ai"iry
Park Fishing Club. Fixed rules were
formulated for surf casting tournaments
and the weights of lines, dlpsoys nnil
length of rod wero standardized. The
oinccra elected were: President, Churchill
'Hungerford, of the Ocean City fishing
Club; vice president, Elvln C. Burtls, As
bury Park Fishing Club; secretary and
treasurer, Dr. Carlton Simons, Midland
Ueach Club.
Ocean City's New Pier
The pier at Ocean City, which Is being
built for the exclusive use of members
of the Ocean City Fishing Club, Is now
400 feet out from the approach, and when
completed will extend 600 feet from the
boardwalk. The pier Is located at Hth
street and crosses the fine gulley that Is
out about 250 feet, and when completed it
will extend beyond the outer bar Into the
second gulley. This should give excellent
port for the members, as a great variety
of fish can thus be angled for, depending
on what position the angler may take.
When completed It will be tha finest pier
belonging to any club along the Atlantic
coast. Ocean City always has had Us
share of fine game fishing, and excellent
reports should be forthcoming from the
club members.
