Ride a bicycle a mile in 2:00. Walk a mile in 8:30. Row a mile in 9:00. Swin a mile in 20:00. This amounts to 54:50, after which Christensen may make a 60-foot high dive, just to show he Isn't tired. After that he proposes to call it a day and go home. Christensen has run the 44 0 in 53 seconds, the half in 2:03 and the mile in 4:21 2-5. He startled New castle, Pa., by running two miles In 9:41, and showed his speed in Cleve land by running three miles in 14:42. He was clocked in 20:11 for four miles in Akron, and in 25:13 for five miles at San Diego.

Major league baseball teams start to-day. Two games will be played by the Americans providing rain or cold weather does not Interfere. The National league gets under way to-morrow. For the early games all players will likely be given a chance to "break in," as there will be an early pruning. If the Internationals can mus'ter a complete circuit, they may be ready to take over surplus major players in time to start about Slay 15. The basketball season in Harris burg closed Saturday night. It has been the best in the history of cage sport in this city. The Independents offered strong attractions and won much favor by their good work. Tho scholastic game brought the State Championship to Harrisburg; and other teams, played a big part in keeping up the interest In this sport. Harrisburg needs a recreation commission. With its municipal ball fields, tennis courts, golf links, and playgrounds, this city should have i .systematized sport series. There are some real live sport enthusiasts in Harrisburg ready to give their time Itis your duty not only to buy Third Liberty Loan Bonds, but to consider yourself an agent of the government to help persuade others to buy them.

Ganzemuller, Penn State's national sprint champion, has been elected captain of the Blue and White track team. He succeeds Larry Shields, holder of State' half mile and mile records, who with drew from college to enter military service. Captain-elect Ganzemuller Is a member of the junior class in the school of engineering. He is one of three letter men remaining In Coach Martin's track squad. Krall, the quartermiler, and Jeffries, a jumper, are the other two veterans. in an • effort to furnish clean and wholesome athletics. That the war is causing no worri ment about athletics. The Penn relay tarnival to be held April 26 and 27, at Franklin Field, offers a good example of the interest in all around athletics. This will be the twenty-fourth annual carnival, and all entry records have been broken. There are more than 400 teams en rolled. This is an increase of sixty over any previous year. At the same time, the teams have been so arranged that there are only two events than last year. Sol diers, sailors and college and school athletes' will feature the two-day athletic program. Local track athletes are showing need for outdoor practice. With good weather this week, there ought to be increased activity. Daylight saving is going to be a great boon to college athletes as well as professional athletes. There has always been a great hue and cry raised in intercollegiate circles against the refusal of faculties to set aside a recreation period every day of the week during which no lecture or recitations fcould be held. Fa culties, on th,e assumption that stu dents should study first and play afterwards, have never taken kind ly to the suggestion. Now that the clocks are moved ahead a full hour for the spring, summer and fall the college day will begin just that much earlier and it will be possible for students to take their athletic training late in the afternoon and still have the advantage of plenty of sunshine. • Trenton Team Wins P.

While no one doubted the Impartial ity of his decisions, there was a gen eral opinion that he blew his whistle too quickly several times. Both quintets scored ten goals from the field. The Independents had all of theirs but three in the first half. Tech did its best work in the second period with six two-pointers. Huston was high scorer of the evening with 24 points. Frank was second with 22. "Nob" Frank must have felt a lit tle satisfaction in tossing the goal that defeated Tech. On two previous occasions he had felt the sting of a Tech defeat as center on the Central team. No one fought harder for victory than "Eddie" Wallower. He was in the game from start to finish. ~ Both teams dribbled brilliantly end compelled the opponent to foul in trying to break up the play. Referee White called twenty-four fouls on the Ford crew, while the Maroons were penalized twenty-two times. "Hennie'' Kohlman took Smith's plsce at guard in the second half. It was the only substitution of the con test. It was a fitting climax to the best basketball season Harrisburg ever had.

A. when the referee stopped the bout in the fourth round to save Jack Brazzo, of Hazleton, Pa. Leonard's opponent was In bad shape and would likely have taken the count had the battle been allowed to go any further. In every session Leon ard proved that he had the measure of Brazao. The first three rounds were Leonard's by a city block, though Brazzo tried hard to make the milling interesting, but he was out classed from the start and it was only a question of how long he could stand up and take the sledge ham mer punches of the world's cham pion, who seemed in great fettle. So fast was the bout, and so anx ious was Leonard to score a decisive punch that he allowed Brazzo to get to his jaw with a left in the second round with the result that the cham pion was almost knockel through the ropes. This punch about settled the fate of the Hazleton lightweight for Leonard went after him like a tiger raining rights and lefts to the jaw and body which soon had Brazzo on queer street.
