zion by the Metropolitan Association
awaits it, the West Side Athletic club
Is gong ahead with its show at Maen-
herchor Hall, 205 East Fifty-sixth street,
tonight, and will allow the disqualified
boxers to compete. As the people at

are disqualified or not, as long as they
anord an evening of good sport, II is
not likely that this Metropolitan Asso-
citation tempest in a teapot will make
one iota of difference in the West Sides

The Cornell Sun makes this comment
on some of the candidates for the Penn
syivania crew 81. Wagenhorst, who
never. during the whole Of last season
succeeded in. getting his oar into tn,
water and bringing 1t out again without
the knack of rowing smoothly during
the first five minutes he was in the tani
this year. Beck has been. trying to cur,
his old habit of Tapping his elbows Xix
"A pair. Of wings when he slips his oar,
out Of the water, n has shown 6
marked Improvement in this respect
Otto Wagenhorst has always had {
habit of bringing his body forward too
soon on the recover; the few days III
has been training this year have m
proved him wonderfully. Marshall, too
has shown improvement over his las
years work. Hollingshead is just be
ginning to know how he ought to row
During the last two or three days h,
has made more Improvement than al
most any other man.
The all absorbing question in Eng
land nowadays is. Who will win the
boat race? The Oxford and Cambridg,
crews went into strict training On Asl
Wednesday. and the question will b.
decided March II. The Oxonians ar,
spoken of as "a powerful burly lot,
and the Cantabs as true successors o
the wire spare-set men whom Kingsley
delights to honor in the pages of 'Altor
Locke" Both arc possessed Of doggeC
grit n sinew. The crews are made W
as follows.
