lneIe IS no uOuOt Out WHAT SUCH Ill event
would draw out big entry list from ev-
erywhere.
The expense would be comparatively
small divided up among say. SIX organi
cations. Convention Hall could be male
just the place for such an event. Why
not try It?
Such an event Is spoken of by LEGAL
varsity and l believe 1t will be slccess-
Entries are already assured from al the
big colleges. II a college can attemp.
such an affair. why not the athlstic or
ganizations? If we cannot get up such
an event then let's be represented in the
big Knickerbocker carnival and begin
practice at once.
Here's "a Henvyw eight.
At social event given by the Swedish
Athletic Club of Brooklyn du-ing the
past week heavy weight lifting was fea-
ture of the athletic program and one of
the members, G. Larson. raised and low
cred iOO-pound dumb-bei Hoe's that
for lifting, ye locals who are proud over
the dallying with an 150 bell?
All who have tried them have found
that It Is somewhat of a feat to raise and
! lower the dumbbells loaned by Won
Boeckman, who handles them with COM
parative ease.
The bowling team is doing good work.
but II Is unfortunate in having to run
up against the Carrolls for the opening
of the past week and dropped three
games. The scores made by the c. A c.
would have won any ordinary series, but
the CAROLS are bowling phenomenal ten
pins and with one game OF COG and the
other two over the 500 mark II is little
wonder that there was a triple defeat.
s. Desio is bowling up to his usual form.
while Won Boeckman leads the way with
best singles and averages.
CarroII Institute Athletes.
The basketball team of Carroll Institute
is taking plenty of practice and with the

the team III place of Joe Daily. who pre-
fers to play without the responsibility OF
the position burdening him.

titled to two guest cards
For the present the gymnasts of the
rl1rh 1axa inc
themselves more TO the body building and
class exercises than to the development
of specialties. These Will come later.
Prof. Crossley is preparing his classes
in number of new movements for the
athlete smoker to be given shortly. Midge
| Ross and Waters and several others are
| polishing up in their acrobatics for the
same event.
| The fencing classes of Prof. Darial at

| the pupils on hand are very apt and sew
1 eral of these will appear with their in
structor at the smoker. The clever ferc-
| ing master will appear at the iadi IS
day exercises. with two young lad es who
are among his best pupils in private
| classes. This feature of the annual a.
| dies day will be decided novelty. Prof.
| Carters boxing classes are also not as
| large as in seasons gone by. but the ma
terial he has on hand is of very clever
| sort and Will give good accounting Ct
| Itself at the next smoker.
| Tuesday afternoons gymnasium class
| had thirtythree on the floor at one time
| taking exercises under Prof. Crossley.

they make merry in the gym. Fifteen
minutes is given up to basketball, the
| larger boys against the smaller and tn
| generally put up a hot game. All tie
mats are being put in good order and tie
work is being done none too soon.
Jim Bauby is at work again in the gym
and may play basketball again.
Pat Connor is now wearer of c. /. col
ors. and will play on the basketball team
and he will strengthen 1t materially. The
team will be further strengthened by the
addition of George Trapp who is clever
player and hard worker.
Steve Guista Is taking practice with the
team and may play on most of the regu-
lar games. Joe DAILY will play in the next
games. Murphy is putting up his usual
good game and Bateman is in shape to
put up the best game he has ever played.
Jake Atz Is one of the best players in
the League and Chic Ourand, as a guard
is playing his usual fast game. Jim Lynch
has few equals as back and he always
puts up a clean, fast game. He is also
a hardworker in the gym. With such an
| aggregation of players the Institute may
be counted on to cut quite figure in the
League race.

up the usual large attendance and doing
| good work.
Ted Clinton is back and doing some

little wonder that its players are please,
with their work. The team bowling ha
been remarkable. In the series with the
C A. C. last Monday two games wer
bowled over 800 and one of 9o6. which vii
probably not be equaled this season. TIL
whole team is doing brilliant work, wit
little Harlow and German and Merritt
doing exceptionally well.
! Corcoran Cadet Athletics.
: Probably the most surprised lot of play
: ers in the city last Wednesday evenin
: were those composing the Corcoran Ca
det team. The cause of their surprise wa
the defeat administered by the Washing
? ton Athletic Club. There may have bee
r lots of hard luck. mixed with some littl
over-confidence. but whatever the caus
the gallant young soldiers were beate
by the tail-enders, something that's likel
r to happen to any champion team.
f Dodge and Collins are keeping up the
r usual good work. playing at all times i
0 an earnest manner.
