WISCONSIN WANTS IN THE RACE
Cornell Looks with Favor on west
prn ITnivcrsitN.

ITHACA, n. Y, Feb 9.--It is reported at
Ithaca that representative of the crew
of the University of Wisconsin had written
t) Captain Colson of Cornell. stating that it
is the desire of the western crew to be rep
resented in the regatta of eastern college
crews which, it is expected, will be held
either at Saratoga or Poughkeepsie the
coming spring. Members Of the athletic
council says that as far as Cornell is con-
Cerned the proposition would be quite ac-
Ceptable, but the question is one that will
have to be left to the conference of repre-
sentatives of the crews of Columbia, Cornell
and Pennsylvania which will be called
within few days
With the exception of Harvard and Yale,
other crews to which Captain Gisen sent
his communication for the formation of an
intercollegiate association have expressed
their willingness to confer on the matter
Word is expected from the former shortly
and it is quite probable that representatives
from four crews will meet. At the meeting
the course will be considered and it is said
that Saratoga Is the most likely one to be
chosen. This will be because it is thought
better to have no current on the stream
where three or more crews are entered. If
1t is found agreeable to the other universi-
ties to have Wisconsin as a competitor, 1t
is quite probable that its crew will be in

MANITOBA wHEEL,IEN RESTLESS.
Threaten to Break Away from Cana
dim MheeImen's Association.

MONTREAL, Que, Feb. "a sensation
was caused in cycling circles by the publi-
cation of a telegram from Winnipeg, Man,
in the annual meeting of the Manitoba
Canadian Wheelmen's association district.
The representatives present from the out
side clubs sided with the three city clubs
and were of the opinion the time had come
for Manitoba and the territories to secede
from the Canadian Wheelmen's association
and form an association with the assist
ance of the states of Minnesota and the
Dakotas. The Winnipeg Bicycle club has
the largest membership by forty of any in
Canada, and is strong financially. What
troubles the heads of the Canadian Wheel
mems association most at present is the fear
that the Columbia cyclists and those of Vic
toria and Vancouver will break away also.
The latter have been rebelling for some time
and the complaints and tnreats to join
the California wheemen became so serious
that George Orr, the president of the Cana
dian Wheelmen's association, had to go
there to pacify them. 1t is feared that
Manitoba's action may cause a general
break up. Considerable speculation Is in
dulged in as to how tae matter will affect
the League of American Wheelmen.
