Athletics mt Y. VI. {. \.

1t has been decided by the management
of the athletic department of the y. NJ.
c. A. to hold its annual spring track and
field games on May "a. These games will
be open to all athletes registered in the
Atlantic division of the Amateur Athletic
Union or any of its affiliated bodies.
1t is eXnected that this will be the
largest meet held here in recent years.
The entry list from out of town,
especially from Baltimore, will be
large because of the settlement of ath-
lctic matters there last month. In re-
cent years the entry list from Baltimore
has been rather small because of the de-
fection of the clubs which formed the
"Insurgent" or Middle Atlantic Associa-
tion. Now that these clubs, which have
in their ranks some of the best athletes
in the South, have returned to the A. A.
L. fold and registered their men, entries
in large numbers are expected.
Among the leaders in indoor baseball
circles in Baltimore are the ''Vorwaerts"
and the West Branch Y. VI. c. A. and
they are always in demand for games.
The association team has arranged games
with both. "Norwaerts" will play here
February l and West Branch March /.
The contests to decide the all-round
athletic championship of the Association
are growing more and more interesting
as the teams raise or lower their stand
irg in the race for honors.
Captain Bateman's team won first place
in last weeks contests with 500 points,
with Captain Richardson's team next,

All Colleges Interested.

All Colleges Interested.
It affects all colleges, and all are inter-
ested in the outcome. The principal case
now involved, and which could be set
tied if the rule were in operation, is that
of Columbia and Pennsylvania over the
eligibility of Orton ana Grant. Pennsy's
two great runners.
Columbia insists that Pennsylvania has
no right to take prizes won by the relay
team of which Orton is a member and
Pennsylvania declines to admit that it
has done anything wrong in using Orton
on its team. AS the matter now stands,
there is no authority FOR Columbia's S pro-
test.
Penn claims that in a dual meet, the
rules which govern intercollegiate cham
pionshirs are usually adopted. The point
that Columbia makes is that the rule that
does not permit a winner OF prize at
an open athletic meeting to represent a
college at the annual championships un-
til he has resided at the college a full
calendar year covers all dual meets and
relay races alJo.
Rule Needed at Once.
Other colleges have always observed
this rule, SO why should not Penn
sylvania?
A rule to cover the point is needed
badly. and at once TO clear the field for
meeting on even terms of all college relay
teams at the Knickerbocker Athletic Club
games to be held at Madison Square Gar
den on February 3.
Grant Cannot BE Entered.
Chairman J. f. Sullivan, of the Knick-
erbocker Athletic Club games committee,
said yesterday: Our committee is not in
a position to pass on the eligibility of
Orton, nor does it desire to do so. We
have learned, however. that if Orton is
made to withdraw, that Pennsy will sub
stitute Alex Grant, and the committee
promptly decided that under no consider
alton would Grant be permitted to run,
and If the university insisted upon keep
ing him in, the team would render itself
ineligible for the race"
A Solution Is Ofered.
This is in itself an object lesson, and
shows the great necessity for some sort
OF rule.
The University of Pennsylvania athletic
authorities are not favorable to the prop
osition to establish a board OF arbitration
for the settlement of intercollegiate dis
putes concerning the eligibility OF ath-
letes. They question whether il would be
possible to find non-partisan men to act
in the matter whose decisions would be
generally accepted as impartial. mem
Der of the faculty committee has this to
offer as counter suggestion:
1T seems to me that the most satisfao-
tory solution of the difficulty would be for
representatives of all the colleges to meet
in conference and adopt an eligibility
code which would be acceptable to all,
and then abide by il. Such a thing was at
tempted and partially accomplished in the
Brown conference. held at Providence last

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan 1s.-The re-
cent action on the part of Harvard. de-
claring its mistake in the Cults matter.
when it insisted upon playing the great
player in the last game with Yale. and the
fact that Cults has been declared a pro-
fessional, has thrown the weight of
public opinion in favor of Yale, whose
team promptly put out of the game the
player against whom Harvard protested.
As result of the more recent action
the negotiations between Yale and Penn
sylvania have taken a more definite form,
and 1t looks nowNcs if the two great uni
versities may ut an early date form a
strong alliance for the promotion of ath-
letics in all lines
Penn Worthy Foe.
Speaking upon the matter, one of Old
ELS most enthusiastic and foremost ath-
letes said: ..f.
Il am in favor of Yale entering into an
agreement with Pennsylvania. and hope
the action of Harvard publicly acknowl-
edging her mistake in declaring Cults a
professional will not stop the negotiations
that have been going on looking to such
an alliance between the Blue and the Red
and Blue.
Penn has proven herself desirable as
well as worthy foe and for that reason
] would like to see friendly athletic rela-
tions re-established between the two uni
versities.'
Yale Would BE Independent.
Another reason is that, with Pennsyl-
vania and Princeton on friendly terms
with Yale, We would be in a pos ition to
say to Harvard at all times: If you
don't play fair and treat us as you would
like to be treated yourself. We can get
along without you. Yale could be more
independent. and demand more from Har-
ward than she can do al present if she en-
tered into such an agreement with Penn.

sons for thinking that there will be

The question of the settlement of in

will require some very clever diplomatic
work to bring order out of the chaos.
As many colleges favor the eligibility
rule as there are those who oppose it.
College men generally perceive the
need Of such rule, and are outspoken
in its favor. 1t is not the rank and file,
however who have to deal with the ques-
tion; it is those in authority appointed

Standing of League Teams.
The Indoor Baseball League series is
becoming more interesting as each week
OF the schedule rolls by. The past week
had two games scheduled, one of which
was forfeited to the Urell Rifles by the
Arlington Wheelmen, its second forfeit
within week Such lack of interest is
reprehensible and entirely out OF line
with the policy of the league. II creates
distrust in the leagues ability TO run off
its schedule and Injuries the attendance
upon subsequent games OF the series. Ac
tion IN the matter should be taken at
once.
BY this forfeit the Urells. without any
special effort on their part, are boosted to
second place with the credit OF having
won two games.

lead in the championship race.

Who are the Doukhobors, and what
are their tenets? The name, which sig
nifies "Spirit-wrestiers," has been in
common use since the close of the
eighteenth century. The worship of
images or icons, which forms so con-
spicuous a part of the ritual of Greek
orthodoxy. was strenuously opposed by
a set of reformers, who were named
Ieonobors, or image -wrestlers." In
order to throw odium upon their beliefs,
the dominant party dubbed them Holy
Spirit Wrestlers," because they were
understood to interpret the Spirit as an
influence rather than as a person; and
the nickname, like Quaker" became
a serious appellation. With the Quaker
