Sharpo Is up-to-date In everything. Ho uses the latest plays that liae been perfected on tho football Held; stmllcn ptofcsslonal baseball In order to be able to direct his nlno with more Intelligence, mid also constantly worka but now systcliiH for his basketball playcis. In short, Doctor Sharpo Is not only up-to-date, but ho Ii even ahead (of his tlmo In soma things. .However. In hit stand taken on tho amateur quettlon, he Is, Wo believe, except in the matter of a few minor details, cu.tccI in it device. In his speech here, before tho members of the (.'oinelt Club at their annual dinner. Doctor Sharpo spoke In detail on what ho considered weio tho remedies for tho "cleansing" of. collego nthlctles.

SOMEBODY IS ALWAYS TAKING THE JOY OUT OF LIFE END OP AMATEUR ATHLETIC PROBLEM IN COLLEGES IS IN SIGHT AT LAS' united" STATES HAS A MONOPOLY ON ALL REGATTM Age Limit and Scholastic Itcntiircmruts Tho main points which Doctor Hhaipo believes uio essential for complete ) harmony among colleges on tho amateur question nro it definite age limit nnd lilgh scholastic requirements for all those who represent their chosen colleges in athletics. Hfs Idea Is to put tho ago limit of l2k years on varsity athletes, and to allow them to compete against other colleges only when they nio Well up In Kit branches of their studies. Doctor Sharpo Is not dogmatic in the details of hid plans. Ho stated In hii address that ho believed tho nforcsatd ngo was it good ono for mere experimental purposes, and unquestionably It would bo better than the present system. How ever, about 25 years would not be too old, for thcro are many legitimate students who aro not ablo to complete their college courses before they have arrived nt that age. Ono of tho main points in favor of an age limit Is the fact that youni; players at colleges, 18 or 19 years old, would not bo pitted against men of 30, who aro fully developed, nnd who often, on tho football Hold, severely injure the younger man because of tho inequality of their maturity. For example, Jim Hogan entered Exeter at the ngo of 2S. Ho completed his course at Valo when he was 3G. Obviously ho was too old and too mature to be allowed to play against boys. Lot Them Way Baseball for Money, Says Sharpo On tho question of summer baseball. Doctor Hliurpc stated his views In no uncertain terms. Ho declared that there was no reason why a poor student should not help himself through college by playing baseball in summer. This Is certainly a. sane and logical way to look at It. For, when It comes j down to "brass tacks," why should a. young man be made to perform menial amies, sucn as wasaing uihiicb, waning on tno muica unu ficuing lauica wearing r ai10rt of men and will liae to apparel, simply because "precedent" tays that ho must not play baseball for a catcher on first Iias.e ami a pitcher Hy CHANDLKlt 1).

Tho answer Is, ho should not bo mndo to do those things, but ou'deld on his Ynulgan team, should bo allowed to pluy basoball If he Is good enough to earn money at it. Thcro ts no doubt that Doctor Sharpe'H Idea will bo taken up by many coaches and colleges throughout tho country. There hnvo ulwnys been many who believed that this waa tho solution, but for somo reason no ono was ever willing to bo tho first to take the radical step. Paskcrt Expects to Have Great Year V If there Is anything at nil In confidence, Dodo Pnskert Is going to hnvo the greatest year of hhj career during tho approaching National League campaign. S'jl.ast season Dodo waa on tho bench for somo tlmo after tho season began, because. Pat Moran thought that ho did not measure up to his standard of efficiency. SS Paskort saw that ho must do something to win his place from Heals Becker, jjo ho did It. "When ho was put In he displayed all of his old-tlmo "pop," nnd was gjeenerally so nctlvo, both offensively and defensively, that It was not long before S2Becker found himself a mere pinch hitter. ft Slnco ho has been In St. Petersburg this spring, Puskcrt has been out at the Jgj ball yard early and late. lie Is In flno condition, and thero Is no reason why ho K Bhquld not play up to his own predictions. Ho hns tho ability. Dode's only troublo f"a nia namt or. enronic KicKing. ir. no sots a single, no reels tuat ne was I robbed of a double. This Is not a bad way to look at It, because there isn't a ! ! chanco for a man to become self-satisfied when he feels this way. So, after all, Faskcrt's mental attitude may bo more beneficial than otherwise, although his teammates do not always enjoy his remarks.

McCIough, Universal Basketball Code Desirable Somo day the,ro will be a universal code of basketball rules. Tho Inter colleglato Association Is working along thoso lines now. The A. A, U. and Y. M. C. A.s accepted tho Intercollegiate codo the last season, and theso" rules are played In 99 per cent, of tho schools of the United States and In tho pro fessional leagues of the West. Tho professional league rules of the East aro vastly different from tho Intercollegiate game, although tho interstate organization did accept a number of the college league rules. It -would be much better for tho game in all sections of tho country If all leagues played under ono sot of rules. rules, however, do not suit every one. despite the fact that U12 star of tho 1015 staff declares that hH arm Is not sore. Thomas b.iys that Wyckoft got Into a habit of pitching with a peculiar hitch last (.unimcr when his arm was lame, and that he has not broken himself of It vet.

Crawford and Veacli, while tho Whlto Sox havo Collins, Jackson and Founder. There isn't a member from either trio who should hit below .300, and it would tako a bird of a. prophet to say which trio will asscmblo moie hits, as each set should bo good for a total of BOO safe blows.
