NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BODY MEETS ON "AMATEURISM" BUT ACCOMPLISHES VERY LITTLE! F
tr L
DECISION OF "BIG THREE"
WILL DECIDE POLICY OF
I. C. A. ON AMATEUR CODE
Intercollegiate Body Accomplishes but Little at
First Meeting to Decide "What Is an Ama
k teur?" D'Arcy Proves a Marvel
DELEGATES from Tale, Harvard nml Princeton recently held a meeting to
discuss tho eligibility codo governing athletics between them. Aftor a
session lasting two days tho delegates returned home to present tho resolutions
adopted to tho threo athletic associations for ratification. At tho tlmo It was
announced that another meeting would bo held early In January, and that tho
public- would then learn what an "amateur" was In tho eyes of theso Institutions.
Yesterday delegates from the Intercolleglnto Association of Amateur Ath
letes of America met In New York to decldo "What Is an amateur." After all
tho delegates had expressed their views, tho mooting adjourned until a later
dale, having in reality accomplished but little, nnd It is not likely this body will
taiw any action until it learns just whoro tho leading universities stand on tho
eligibility codo.
If Taio, Harvard, Princeton, Tenn, Cornell, Michigan, Chicago and n few
of tho other loading universities decide that the present codo o determining
amateurism is good enough, nny action tho lntcrcollcglato body may tako will
hardly bo effective As long as wo have nmalcur athletics It Is likely that the
leading universities will bo tho guiding hand when it comes to making rules
defining amateurism.
Waiting for the National Collegiate Association's Decision
Tho National Collcgtato Athletic Association Intends to wait until It learns
what tfio intercollegiate A. A. A. A. does before It adopts resolutions, nnd it Is
safo to say that such resolutions will colncldo with thoso of tho 1. C. A. A. A. A.
Tho meeting of tho natlonnl body may aid greatly In purifying amateur ath
letics, but any action It takes will hardly affect nmutcurlsm, unless It is
approved by tho leading universities. A uniform codo of eligibility rules is
necessary after tho wholesalo oxposal of "amateurs" during tho last year, but
tho adoption of this codo Is u long way off.
Tho summer ball question Is the only one which tho public Is really Inter
ested in. Baseball is tho only form of athletics whero tho nmatour codo is
really abused by other than potty offenders, and also tho only one which permits
collegians to mako enough money to bo of a serious menace to tho foundation
of amateurism. Tho international body would have dono well to havo spent
more tlmo on this subject, Instead of debating on gymnastics, soccer, etc.,
touching but lightly on tho all-Important summer ball question.
Australian Middleweight Proves He Is Another Kctchcl
When Lea D'Arcy, tho sensational Australian middleweight, beat Eddie
McGoorty in their ilrst mooting American boxing enthusiasts wcro Inclined to
regard tho triumph as a fluke, liven after Jeff Smith nnd numerous others
fell before the Australian tho fans wero skeptical, but his second knockout
victory over JIcGoorty casts all doubt asldo ns to D'Arcy's ability.
D'Arcy's wonderful riso In tho pugilistic world recalls to mind the predic
tion mado by Harry Smith, tho Pacific cons.t boxing critic, who saw tho Aus
tralian in action early In his career. Smith was ono of tho few boxing experts
who did not underrate D'Arcy. Ho said at tho tlmo that D'Arcy had a punch
llko Kctchcl and was as clever in his own odd stylo ns any mlddlowelght ho
had ever seen.
No doubt McGoorty hns gone back a great deal, as It waB claimed by
Pittsburgh scribes that ho was oft form when ho fought Buck Crouso In Pitts
burgh before leaving for Australia. McGoorty hns mado a great deal of money
out of tho boxing gnme, but would havo mado moro and been at the height
of his career at tho present time had his manager mado him fight moro. It
was ono caso whoro a cautious manager, always on tho lookout for big purses,
spoiled a money-maker 'and brought about his downfall sooner than expected.
A. A. Fee Part of Tuition Charges at Pcnn
Pennsylvania's undergraduate publications nro taking up with enthusiasm
a suggestion mado several months ngo in the columns of tho Evnsixa Ledger
that tho membership fco In tho Athletic Association should bo mado a part
of tho University's tuition chnrges Instead of voluntary, as nt present. This
method of financing athletics, together with a reduction In tho membership
fee of from $10 to $5, is tho only way to get full student support.
It was a mistake when tho association increased tho dues from $5 to $10.
Whereas with tho $5 membership thero wero about 3000 students nnd grad
uates on tho rolls, doubling tho price of membership tickets cut this number
almost In two. It was only by hard and expensive campaigns that tho receipts
from membership wero Increased. But it was accomplished at a tremendous
sacrifice of undergraduato support. This was retlected In tho size of tho
student cheering section, which In 1914 and 1915 was but a shadow and nn
echo of Its old self.
Tho Athletic Association Is now moro or less on tho defensive. A com
bination between tho association and tho University trustees making tho mem
bership feo J5 and adding it to tho tuition charges will solve the problem both
of finances and undergraduate enthusiasm.

McClure and Vincome Strengthening for Big Game
If Vincomo and McClure continue to get college stars for the annual game
the contest is likely to attract such a largo crowd that the management will
havo trouble accommodating tho fans. When McClure signed McGuckln, Vllla-
nova's sensational halfback, Vincomo retaliated by grabbing Harold Lontz, the
former Central Manual star.
McGuckln and Lentz aro rivals of old nnd should have a great kicking duel.
When both were starring in local scholastic ranks, Lentz was looked upon as
the greatest drop-kicker developed In this section in years, but tho rapid
improvement of McGuckln slnco ho entered Vlllanova will force Lentz to bo
at his best to hold his own with tho former Southern High star.
Congratulations for Penn A. A. in Howing
Tho University of Pennsylvania Athletic Association deserves to bo con
gratulated that In tho midst of Its many vicissitudes incident to tho football
season it has achieved such a notable victory as complete control of rowing.
For 20 years it has been trying to Induco tho College Boat Club to relinquish
the right, provided In tho agreement between the two organizations, to ap
point a majority membership of the Bowing Committee and to name tho coach.
After a Berles of stormy contests tho last obstacle has been removed by the
action of tho College Boat Club In amending by moro than three-fourths vote
Its by-laws, making it posslblo to execute a new agreement.
This new agreement brings rowing completely under tho control of the
toard of directors of tho Athletic Association and still gives the College Boat
Club ono representative on the committee.
m
Burns to Stage Willard-Fulton Fight Alone
Tommy Burns has decided to stage tho WiHard-Fulton match on his own
hook, but, according to the new articles of agreement, which will be made when
Willard arrives in "ew Orleans, the champion will fight on a percentage basis
instead of receiving a flat guarantee of $32,500. Willard evidently thinks ha
has a mark In Fulton or ho would never consent to flght on a percentage basis
after tha New Orleans papers have refused to support the contest until Fulton
defeats a flrst-class man. Domlnlck Tortorlch, who was associated with Burns
1b making the original match, withdrew hW Interest for tho same reason.
Fogarty'a Brilliant Work Wins for Trenton
Tha brilliant work of the veteran Joe Fogarty enabled Trenton to win a
sensational Eastern League game from tho fast-flying Beading quintet. With
the score a tie at 20, Fogarty was fouled Just as he tallied the winning field
goal. lie tossed the foul goal, the ninth In succession, and clinched the victory,
The West Point football schedule for 1916 is the poorest booked for the
Army lads In 15 years. West Point and Annapolis appear to be following the
footsteps of the Indiana in the collegiate football world. The teams at these
two institutions have been going back gradually for several years. The Army
bad a veteran team two years ago which got excellent results, but It was
apparently the last flash.
There was only one point about which Johnny Kilbane and George Chaney
did not hold a long debate in arranging their championship flght, and that was
on the referee. Billy Rocap, Sports Editor of the Public Ledger, was sug
gested by Jimmy Dunn, Kilbane's manager, and was immediately agreed upon
br Chaney's advisers.

THE ctouns
YALE OARSMEN
WILL HAVE NEW
ROWING COURSE
Guy Nickalls Selected
Stretch on Housatonic
River for Crews
a
GREAT IMPROVEMENT
Dy EDWARD R. BUSHNELL
At Inst Yalo oarsmen aro to have a
decent rowing courao on which to train,
but tlicy have to go nearly ten miles to
get It. No longer will thoir crows battle
with all varieties ot weather anil water
In tlm harbor and risk Illness nnd colds
from the exposuie Incident to tlio dnvclop
mnt of their crows. After somo M years'
study ot tlio problem of a new course, u
special committee hns found a live-mile
stretch of water on tlio Housatonic River
near Derby, Conn. Tlio Ynlo authorities
npprovo tho project and a temporary boat
houso will bo constructed at onco and be
ready for tlio crows when they begin their
outdoor work In tho spring.
Although tho dlstnnco across country
is much greater than the oarsmen now
havo to travel to reach tho present course,
It is shorter In tho time consumed. It
can bo reached by trolley express In 2)
minutes, or slightly less by automobile.
It Is almost a continuation of Yale's
outdoor athletic equipment, for It Is on
a direct line with tho Bowl and tho golf
course.
Niclialli Responsible.
Tho man who Is rcsponslblo for tho
clmngo is Coach Guy Nickalls. When
Nickalls saw and experienced tho con
ditions under which Yale had to low on
tho harbor bo remarked that it was a
wonder to him that Yalo over won any
races. Nickalls declared that a typical
day on tho harbor was to find tho water
like a mill pond at tho start, only to end
in a galo and tho foundering of ono of
the varsity boats. "In consequence,"
snld Nickalls, "no had a nice collection
of colds and soro throats, and every
crew was temporarily broken up and set
back In its work. Tho tempestuous seas
encountered dally on the harbor havo
knocked tho men about, not only physi
cally, but mentally. When a human be
ing in continually lighting against nature
ho always tires llrsf, In rowing imder
such conditions the boat travels llko a
dead log; the Individual's will power gets
gradually used up and ho lacks Interest
in Ida work becuuso ho feels that It Is
no good working under such conditions."
On tho Housatonic Yale will havo tho
choice of two courses. Ono Is a two-mllo
stretch of water, which tho Ells main
tain is the best rowing courso In tho
Kast. "better, for Instance," thoy say,
"than the famous course on tho Bchuyl
klll, and somewhat similar in appear
ance." Tho announcement of the plans for
spring rowing is expected to result In a
great boom for rowing at Yale. Coach
Nickalls and Captain Low aro enthusi
astic, Nickalls declaring that It will
give him his first chance to coach an
Amerlcnn crew under proper conditions.
Last year Yale won the Intercollegiate
rowing championship, In splta of the
handicap ot tho harbor course.
May Race Thero
Although Yale men are careful not to
suggest It, there is a possibility that tho
new course may prove more acceptablo
than that at New London for the Harvard-Yale
boat race. The latter course
has never been entirely satisfactory and
cannot accommodate moro than two
crews at a time. It Is possible that It
the new course comes up to Yale's ex
pectations. Harvard men may be asked to
look it over as a possible substitute for
tho course on the Thames. Another plan
Yale has In mind is the development of
an interscholastlc regatta on tho new
course under Yale auspices.

PUBLIC LOOKS COOLLY ON
PROPOSED FIGHT FIASCO
By KRYTIC
THE tlmo has como when tho Mere Tuh
llc Is entitled to know who's-who nnd
what's-wlint In this Fulton-Wlllarrt com
edy. To nn outsider thero would appenr
only ono solution: A pnlr ot gold-brick
buyers contracted to produco a fight
which they fondly thought tho public
would consider a championship affair,
and thoy aro going to lose n lot of money
becauso everybody realizes trnsl tho bout
Is a Joke.
Nothing llko It. Tho outsider Is Ig
norant of tlio usngra of applied light pro
motion. Having the same regaid for a
scrap of pnper ns tho well-known Wlll
Inm Hohenzollern, they nro attomptlng to
oust Fulton and substitute a better draw
ing card.
Tho fact that Fulton Is not tho logical
opponent for Champion Willard ceased to
bo a consideration when tho papers were
signed and tho forfeits posted. Tho pro
moters wero apparently tho last to renl
izo that they had made a bono play, nnd
they nro apparently going to ho tho last
to renllzo thnt thoy must pay tho price.
Tlio bout will not draw, but they nro
under contract to stngo it, and In this
lnnd of law and order, bow can they
dodge tho Issue?
When a businessman buys something
with tho expectation that prices will soar,
but Is crossed by n declining market, ho
unloads with ns little loss ns posslblo.
Speed the dny when business principles
will bo applied to commercialized sport.
Tho average boxing promoter's Idea of
taking an awful chance would bo putting
down a bet on Wlllio Hoppo to defeat
Charllo Dooln nt tho 1S.2 game.
Tho Isolated persons who aro still dig
nifying tho recent baseball combat by dis
cussing It aro chuckling or moaning over
tho awful beating handed the Federal
Lensue. Why chortle or lament? It Is
evident that If Organized Ilnsebnll scores

siderably rent.

CYNWYD WILL
HAVE TEAM IN
SQUASH LEAGUE
Matches for Squash Rac
quets Championship Sched
uled to Begin Tomorrow
MANY GOOD PLAYERS
Greater interest than for several years
past attaches to tho contests for tho In
tcrclub squash racquets championship
which begin tomorrow. Huntingdon Val
ley Is again placing a team In tho field,
while tho Cynwyd Club will compete for
tho championship for tho Ilrst time. This
brings the total number of teams In tho
tournament up to eight, and a thor
oughly Interesting season Is nssured.
Reversing tho order of last year, when
tho Racquet Club met Team A, of Qer
mantown. In the last mc.tch ot tho senson
at tho Racquet Club, tho teams will meet
at Manhclm tomorrow, nnd tho result of
tho contest should go a long way toward
deciding tho championship. German
town holds tho title at present
Haines W'.U -lay
A great rvj.jlsltlon to tho Gcrmantown
team will be Harold A. Haines, who is
onco more a resident of this city. Ills
presenco on the team will offset the ab
sence of F. u, Whlto, who probably will
not play for Germantown this season. M.
L. Newball, Stanley VT. Penrson, Gcorgo
R, White. F. S. Reeves and F. G. Penr
son will probably also play, so that tho
champions will bo very strongly repre
sented. Tho Racquet Club will nlso have
a strong team, and with Danny Hutchin
son playing again It will bo greatly
strengthened. W. 11. T. Huhn may be an
absentee, and if ho Is C. B. Jennings. W.
J. JIcGllnn. L, C. WIster, A. R. Mcllor
nnd Plercco Archer will probably con
stitute tho Racquet Club team.
Team U of Germantown will travel to
Overbrook to meet tho Overbrook Golf
Club, and a closo nnd Interesting series
of matches should bo witnessed. In meet
ing Team A of Merlon at Haverford tho
Cynwyd club will bo up against a stiff
proposition as a starter, AVallace F.
Johnson has decided to cast In his lot
with Cynwyd, and in tho Ilrst match of
tha senson he will be pitted against his
old 'team. Merlon has unearthed a new
player In Phlneaa T. Chrystle, of whom
great things are expected, and with the
brothers Lothrop nnd Ruckman Leo, C.
S. Rogers. E. H. Le Routllller and Row
land Evans, Jr., In their best form the
Merlon team should prove very formid
able. With the exception of Wallace
Johnson the Cynwyd players aro little
known.
Game at Noble
Team 13 of Merlon will travel to Noble
to try conclusions with Huntingdon Val
ley. Huntingdon Valley will bo repre
sented by a strong team and should stand
a good chance of opening the season
with victory. Tho teams In tho various
matches will ba selected from tho follow
ing players;
