PENN's GREAT MATERIAL.
Athletic Team of 1905 Likely to Be
Best in Colleges History.

If the plans of Coach DR.. J. K. Shell
do not miscarry, the University of
Pennsylvania will have a field and
track team the coming season that will
be sure to give a good account of
itself ONLY two members of last year S
Sanguine at the Intercollegiate, have
left college. These are Irving Orion
and Captain Russell, both distance
runners and point winners.
The point winners of last years
team who are still in college are w. j.
Cartmell, w. D. Deer, j. B. Taylor, H.
A. Lyman, T. S. Moffatt, T. A. Ham
mer, and ]. S. Boyd, captain.
Coach J. K. Shell has discovered the
following men in the fall work: .
H. Shot Put-Hollinshead. II
r. High -rJump-McDonald, Moorshead,
Mcfarland, and Swain.
Broad Jump-Haydock, Moorshead,
and Jones.
only one pole vaulter was found
who shows promise of development,
and he is c. Kirkpatrick.
Hurdles-Moorshea and Shaw.
Sprints, 100 Yards-Davies, Olsen,
and Haydock.
Quarter Mile-The most promising
men are Hepburn, Schamberg, and
Half Mile-McCurdy and Schamberg
have shown such excellent form that
DR.. Shell has considered them as can
didates for the relay team.
One Mile and Two MileS-Wilcox is
the most promising; Leary, Vernon
and Hughes show promise of candi-
dates for the two-mile team.
A canvass of this years varsity and
scrub football teams is being made,
and already DR.. Shell has succeeded in
landing Ziegler, G. D. Bradley, Fen
nell, McCabe, Torrey, ElIer, and Hess.
Greene, in the hurdles, would I'M
doubtedly develop, and Reynolds, in
the quarter mile, would be valuable
man. Dennis and Sheble, for the hur-
dies are fast men. Hendrie, of this
years freshmen football team, will
strengthen the hurdle problem. Scar
let has shown excellent form in the
broad jump.
Unless Stevenson is required for
pitcher on the baseball team, DR..
Shell will try to land this youngster
for the sprints.
The relay races will be held at
FrenkIin field, April 90.

osrRAC1sM FOR YOUNG GOULD.
Fellow Students at Columbia Will Let
Him Severely Alone.

New York, Dec. -When-Kfngdon
Gould returns to Columbia university
after the holidays he will find himself
practically ostracized from the social
life of the student body. His career in
the activities of the college and as a
among the athletic organizations is in
evitably at an end. 1t is probable that
he will be driven from the institution
by the silent contempt'F to be mani
tested for him.
The feeling against him runs very
high and is as bitter among the mem
bers of his own class as with the
sophomores. His action in shooting a
revolver to brighten away hazers is
termed "cowardly' and is against all
he traditions of university etiquette,
which dictates that an undergraduate,
particularly a freshman, must submit
gracefully to whatever is melted out to
him.
On the other hand, the feeling
against the faculty has been Modified.
Dean Hutton's conciliatory course has
proven effective. His order that a stop
must be put to malicious hazing will
probably save young Gould from direct
attacks. He will, however, be made to
feel his ignOminy in the various ways
possible in college life.
There is little prospect now that the
large body of students who threatened
to leave the institution will do so. The
suspended men will undoubtedly be re-
instated after the holidays. The uni
versity will thereby succeed in dealing
out justice to the culDrits without
causing them to miss any lectures.
No recurrence of hostilities is ex-
pected. The student body itself will
mete out further punishments for in
subordination growing out of the in
terclass outbreak and will be given the
privilege of determining the guilty
persons

ARE WE POLITE?
Foreign Critics Declare That American
Manners Lack Polish.

A discussion has been raging in
the London press on the question
Does politeness pay? Correspondents
point out that not only have the
ancient court1y ways fallen into dis
use, but that even the commonest
courtesy of daily life is fast becoming
questionable. Perhaps the most
novel argument advanced was that the
American nation, VIGOROUSLY the
most impolite in the world has man
aged to forge to the front in business
and craftsmanship, and has thereby
demonstrated that politeness does not
pay while Spain, with its courteous
grandness, and France, famous for
politeness, are not such noticeable ex-
amples of success among the nations.
Apart from the discussion of the
question, which hardly deserves to be
taken seriously, the pungent criticism
of the American nation furnishes food
for reflection. Are we less polite than

Entries in Bowling Tournament.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Schedules of the
first tournament to be held for the
Chicago city championships have been
issued by the officials of the Chicago
Bowling association, the programme
sh owing altogether 1,064 entries, dis
tributed among the three events. Two
full weeks have been found necessary
in which to run off the tournament
the opening games in the five-man
event starting Monday while the last
of the individuals will go on Sunday,
January 8. The feature of the entry
list is its surprising size. Nearly twice
the number are entering which had
been expected by the promoters.
Eighty-three five-men teams have
entered, while the two-men team en-
tries number 176, and the individuals
303, a showing which has been equal
ed only by the Cleveland and Indian
apolis national tournaments and the
Illinois Bowling association tourney of
last spring.
This heavy influx of entries has
caused the officials infinite trouble but
with two weeks in which to run it off.
putting some of the squads on late at
night, they have been able to fit the
schedule together so that the last ball
will be thrown two weeks after the
start.

pipe line repaired and will test the line
to the Labette county borders today or
Wednesday. A 5O-pound pressure will
be turned on the first day and this will
be gradually increased to. $50. pounds
pressure. 1t is said a shut-off gate will
be put in at the Labette line and the
pressure left on the pipe while the rest
of the main is being laid. 1t would
be a dangerous piece of business to at
tempt to blow up a line containing
45O-pound pressure of gas.

Boston fans have been picking an
all star team of players drawn from
the two big leagues. Willie Keller
Napoleon Lajoie, and Jimmy Collins
are almost the unanimous choice for
their respective positions. Collins
claim is being disputed by many, who
figure that Bradley of Clevelad is su-
perior to Collins. No one disputes
keeler's right to play right field, and
at second base Lajoie's great hitting
has caused the fans to place him with

Fred Parent and Hans Wagner are
the leading candidates for shortstop
For left field Fred Clarke has the call
