CUTTSISA PROFESSIONAL
HARVARD'S ATHLETIC COMMITTEE
DECIDES AGAINST HIM.
He Received Pay for Giving Boxing
LessOns-PoIice to Have Gymna-
sium-GeneraI Sports.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. u-Oliver F.
Cults right tackle of the Harvard football
team of 1901, whose athletic standing was
the subject of exhaustive inquiry before
the game with Yale last November, is de-
clared a professional in a statement made
public to-day by Prof. Ira n. Hollis, OF the
Harvard athletic committee. Evidence was
produced that while teaching at Haverford
Cuts gave private boxing lessons The
matter was thoroughly discussed by the
committee. Cults admitted the facts, and
the committee decided that they must
change their decision made the evening be-
fore the Yale game that Cults was pure
amateur, and it was also decided to explain
the case to the college and to send copies
of the explanation to all the colleges and
universities which Harvard played, as the
best means of reparation. 1t is thought
that, coming just at this time, the matter
will serve to further the idea, already popu-
lar at Harvard, of having an intercollegiate
board of arbitration, which shall settle all
such cases in future.
In his statement Professor Hollis reviews
the whole investigation of Cutts's standing,
and says:
HE was declared eligible upon the as
surance of the principal of the school and
his own signed statement that he had never

vice. but the earl has been unable to obtain
relief.
All his life the Earl of Dysart has been
an enthusiastic musician, with Wagnerian
tendencies. Music takes the first place in
his affections, though homeopathy runs a
close second. At Buckminster. his splen-
did Lincolnshire seat, the earl has q re-
markable laboratory, containing almost
every homeopathic drug in existence.
There is scarcely a house in his large es-
tates which has not a piano. AT Buck
minister and his other residence, Ham
House. Richmond, there are extraordinary
collections of musical instruments, includ-
ing many pianos, several organs, harpsi-
chords, spnets, ViOlins, harpS. and the
latest mechanical adaptations for the
piano. For years the earl wrote to the
Times demanding that the people should
go to Covent Garden dressed as they
pleased. He failed TO convince society, but
as an exposition of his own theory when
he attends the opera the Earl of Dysart
sits among the gods" dressed in the plain
est of clothes. This democratic idea is not
carried out at the earls country seat.
There dinner is great ceremony. The
Russian custom of a preliminary meal,
where the guests assemble in the hall and
partake of numerous hOr doeuvreS and
liquors, is still kept up, the Earl of Dysart
invariably appearing in a pink coat and
black silk tights.
The earl has travelled in all parts of the
world. His gardens contain some of the
finest statues in England.

STADIUM PLANS READY
DETAILS OF CHICAGO BUILDING FOR
OLYMPIAN GAMES.
Provision Made for 10000 People
King of Belgium VIII Preside
over Games at Brussels.

CHICAGO Jan. IA stadium which will
seat 75.C00 people and which, in point of
size. elegance and excellence of arrange
ment. will probably excel any other build
ing ever erected for a similar purpose, is
outlined in set of preliminary plans just
placed in the hands OF Mr.. Harry ]. Fur
Der. jr, president Of the Olympian Games
Association. The structure. it is asserted.
will house the Olympian games TO be held
in Chicago in 1904 The building will cover
approximately eleven acres, the arena alone
being 500 feet long and 80 feet wide. The
stadium at Athens, where the Olympian
games were held in 1896, was go feet long
and 100 feet wide and seated between 49,
600 and $1,000 persons. The plans for the
Chicago stadium provide for more than
5000 seats in case they may be necessary
on the days when there will be special at
fractions at the games.
A striking novelty in the way of a roof is
provided for. The area over the seats will
be rooted in the usual way but the arena
will be protected by roof or left without
with almost the ease with which an
umbrella can be opened and closed. The
roof OF the arena will consist Of series
o. waterproof curtains, arranged on roll
lers operated by electric motors. When the
games are in progress the curtains will be
rolled back. In the event of a storm all that

last week. expressed their opinion that
athletics were very essential for a good
police officer. superintendent Tafe, in
speaking of 1t, said there were a number
of officers on the force who were badly
in need of physical training. He said if
some of the more corpulent policemen
were TO get in a struggle with a burglar
or a ruffian their wind power would not
last more than one minute, and they
would be left TO the mercy of the offender.
What is needed" said he. IFS a complete
gymnasium set up in the police station and
the men required to take exercise. The
men should be taught to run and jump.
There are many incidents occurring in
the course OF a policemans duty that re-
quire him to use great strength. A move
ment should be started among the police
men for a gymnasium, the same as is con-
Quoted in other cities. Cincinnati. Chicago,
ST. Louis and Buffalo have well equipped
gymnasiums with physical director. The
officers should be allowed several hours
each week for them TO attend their
classes"
Superintendent Taffe became more en-
Unused with the idea the more he thought
it over, and il is likely that a movement
for the organization of a gym" class will
be one OF the new features of the police
department in the near future.

will be necessary TO put on the roof will
be ito press a button" So in good weather,
while the audience will be protected from
the suns rays, the contests will really take
place in the open air; and with the aid of
the adjustable roof, pOstponements will be
unnecessary ION account of the weather. "
An unusual feature is an arrangement for
dividing the stadium into three more
buildings for special occasions when the
whole space will not be required. At either
end, or in the center, hall for any sort
OF gathering can be made in three or
four days at nominal expense. Another
feature Of construction is that there will
not be a pillar or post in the whole interior
TO shut out the view from any point. The
first row of seats are five feet above the
arena and the tOpmost row sixty feet above.
Inc Olymplan games or I9Ol, IL IS predict
ed, will be greater than any ever held
before at any period in history. Athletics
have advanced with the arts and sciences,
and where the ancient Greeks had but
few tests of strength and endurance, there
are now scores. The ancient sports will
be reproduced in Chicago. but the modern
games of all nations will doubtless at
tract greater attention. There will be
the old Greek foot races and wrestling,
and the Egyptian chariot racing, but also
modern fencing, boxing, wild cowboy rae
ing-everythinS, in fact, except medieval
jOusting.
The athletic end of the games will be
under the direction of William Hale ThOmp-
son and a. @. Spalding. The formers du-
ties Will be to round up every sort OF
sport on the globe, and Mr.. Spalding is
to select the contests which are to make
up the programme for the month Mr..
Thompson already has men at work in
Europe and Asia, as well as in America,
looking for the best athletic material avail
able.
President Furber feels assured that the
programme at Chicago will be better than
at Athens in 1896, or at Paris in 1900, and
with a view of adding features not seen
at Athens or Paris, it has been decided
to keep the stadium open for a month, in
stead of fifteen days, as was at first
planned.
Mr.. Charles y. Carver. the famous Yale
athlete who made, while at college, the
highest number OF points ever scored in
a strength test. beating Sandow's best
figures, will have charge of the strength
contests at the Olympian games, to be
held in Chicago. Since leaving college
Mr. Carver has kept in training, and has
devoted much attention TO the advanced
methods of physical training, and is now
capable at any time of breaking his own
record or that of any one else. His prOmi-
nence in the athletic world affords him an
opportunity TO note the growing popular
principal tendency toward the fostering
of athletics. and he says that without doubt
the attendance at the Olympic games for
one month will be greater than that OF any
month during the worlds fair.
