CHICAGO TO REVIVE
SIX-DhY SKATING
Proposed to Hold Long Distance Ic
Race Under Auspices of Western
Skating Association

CHICAGO. Jan. ia six-day lee
skating race is the latest athletic event
that is promised the somewhat jaded
appetite of local sports.
1t is proposed 20 hold such a contest
if entries can be secured as soon as the
Western Ska ting Association is thor
oughly established. Many skaters gre
interested in the revival of the ev-et, tn
last prominent one winch VS. \
in 1873 in this city, when John Ennis
and Eugene Willard took part and Ton
distinction for themselves. Ennis, IN
the event, made the remarkable record
of 100 miles in II hours 81 minutes and
seconds and AS miles in IS hours fiat.
II Is believed by those who have been
following the work of the skating stars
in America for the last few years that
there are men today who are capable of
eQualing the performances OF Ennis and
Willard and the other long-distnce men
of decade ago. and the event is looked
forward TO with enthusiasm by the skat-
ers in the West One Of the parks with
a suitable lagoon would be used until a
large rink could be built in which the
race would be held under conditions
similar TO the old siX-day bicycle races

its second varsity eight-oared crew in
the American Henley on the SchuyI-
kill on May q. or will the Ithacans hold
their annual Cayuga Lake regatta at
ithaca on Memorial Day? Should Cor
nell decide TO remain on Cayuga Lake
for its spring race it is almost certain
that Harvard would come to Cayuga
Lake instead OF going to the SchuylkilI.
On the other hand. should Cornell de-
eide TO accept the urgent invitation
which has been extended to 1t to enter
the American Henley, it is understood
that Harvard and Yale viii do likewise
because of the strong representation
these two universities have among the
American Henley stewards.
Cornell is DESTROYS OF doing everything

Dawson Hockey Team Beaten by OF

Well at Short.

Ire Dawson City hockey team was
defeated by Ottawa in the first match of
the Stanley C.ip series at Ottawa last
Friday night.
The score was 9 to ,, but Ottawa
might have increased its proportions
had it set to work to run up a score on
the men who had travelled 1000 miles
from the Far North in quest Of the
trophy. During the first twenty min
utes of play the challenging team made
a remarkably fine showing against the
champions. but after that they gradu-
ally faded away and were never seri-
ously in the running, Indicating that
the chief fault with the team is that
the men are not in condition to stand
The test of n hard battle after the long
trip OF twenty-three days from the
North.
Their defense. however, Is very strong.
and this fact was responsible in no mild
degree for holding Ottawa down as well
as they did While defeated, il is I'M
doubtedly the fact that the team will
be a different proposition in the second
game to night. The hardships the play
ers have undergone on the long trip out
