come athletic director here but the
former football and track star thinks
that $4,000 is the least that lie can af-

wisconsin.
Students are willing to raise the diff
ference OF $500 by voluntary subscrip-

would not be acceptable 10 Mr. Holmes,
and also that some members Of che
faculty have declared that athletics

The ordinary salary OF a professor
here is 1900 a year. but a large number
Of them receive more because they have

the regents choose 10 retain their ser
vices here When the faculty was re

considerations was that sports should

that the salaries should 0e meager in ac-

SOME CHAN GES MADE

April 80 viii be an auspicious day for
the people OF Columbia Heights, and for
the other patrons of the Sunday school
athletic associations. otherwise known
as the Church League. for on that day
the opening baseball game OF the asso-
citation will be played on the league
grounds at Fourteenth and Lydecker
streets the opposing teams being the
representatives of Calvary and Foundry.
Each Of these teams has been greatly
strengthened over last year by the addi-
tion of the best players from such Of
last years teams as the Fourth Presby-
terians, Guntons. Mt. Pleasant Congre-
gational. Gurley. ST. Stephens. etc. and
a hot contest is anticipated. Already
the people Of the hill are talking
about this opening game. and many Of
the male and female fans can be
seen any Of these spring afternoons
watching the boys at practice.
Still in Business.
An erroneous impression seems to have
prevailed that this popular league would
be out Of business. but now its admirers
realize that not only will the games be
continued. but the teams represented
namely. Foundry, Calvary Methodist
Sixth Presbyterian, Fifth Baptist, Met
ropolitaI Baptist. and Ninth Street
Christian. will be stronger individually
and collectively than the like number Of
teams In the association during the
three years Of its existence.

move it's stands and diamond to the op-
posite or north side OF the field. The
contractor is now hard at work moving
the stands, and promises their compile
zion IN time for the opening game This
change has entailed a heavy expense
upon the association. and it is the hope
of the directors that all patrons of the
games will avail themselves of the sus-
tanning membership tickets, which are
now on sale at Gross drug store. and
may be had from any of the directors.
It is hoped that large number of these
tickets will be sold before the opening
game. as the association will need funds
TO meet its obligations

the stands and other preferred privileges
are reserved for holders OF sustaining
membership tickets.
The association has again secured the
services of the popular Mr. Belts as um,

The committee on schedule is prepar-
ing an attractive booklet which will
contain some novel features. and will be
ready for free distribution in time for
the opening game.

OARSMEN PREPARE
FOR BUSY SEASON
Fred Shepheard Will Try
for More HOnOrs.
is AFTER GREER'S TITLE
Has Youth and Indomitable Will, and
Should Make Game Fight-Titus
and 0'Brien in Doubles.

NEW YORK. April 2I.-Oarsmen are
now hard at work preparing for busy
season.
Almost every club about New York
Will own at least one oCtopede and one
centipede before the season is well under
way All that is necessary to convert
the eight-oared into sixteen is TO take off
the alternate Outriggers and substitute
the shorter. double braces.
Having recognized the popularity OF
this style Of racing. the Metropolitan.
Union. Harlem. and Nassau clubs have
already secured craft OF this kind, and
the officers of the Harlem Regatta AS
soication have provided for octopede
and centipede events in their coming
regatta.
Shepheard Is Out.
Down along the Long island shore
lone oarsman, wearing only a light row.
ing shirt, with arms and legs barred to
cold blasts that sweep over Flushing
Bay, has been at work daily for weeks
past The man is Fred Shepheard, Of
the Seawanhaka Rowing Club. A new
conner in senior ranks last year. he tore
premier honors away from Constance
/ Titus. of the NOnpariel club; Fred Fues-
4 sci. Of the Harlem. and Frank Vesseley.
Of the Bohemian. and proved himself
| in a class with Frank Greer, the ma
uonal champion.
This year Shepheard intends to go
1 after Greer's title. He has youth in
his favor and is possessed of an in
domitable VIII that will be needed dur
ing the Tvearisome hours, days, and
months or pIodding necessary to put him
| in the best condition
Titus and Fuessel Take Partners.
Titus and Fuessel. realizing that they
| have little chance Of finishing first in
single events. have taken partners. in
the hope that they will be more sue
cessful in events In which Shepheard is
| not entered.
Titus last year doubled with Charles
Steinkauf. a NOnparen club mate. in
the hope that he could get a match with
Jack Mulcahey and William Varwero,
| then the national champions. The latter
pair did not compete in the national
event, and Titus and Steinkaut won the
title. This season Titus partner will be
Tom O'Erien. and Steinkauf will row
senior single.
Mclaughlin Doubles
Fuessel is determined that Titus. his
rival, shall not get away from him and
| will take Jack Bradley, a Harlem club
| mate. as his partner. Both pairs in all
| probability will be chagrined to learn
| that Shepheard intends to double with
| J. Mclaughlin. also of the Seawanhaks
Rowing Club. Mclaughlin was the bee1
| in the Seawanhaka senior four that last
| year swept the boards. No other -four
| had a chance against the champion
! giants IT Shepheard and McL.aughliT
| train faithfully together the chances o.
| the Oarsmen will be slim.

C0LUMBIA'S FACULTY
AGAIN TO THE FROM I

NEW YORK, April 21.-COlumbia' S
faculty has now stepped in to disarrange
the plans of the track athletes on Morn
ingside Heights by forbidding them to
meet Brown University IN a dual con-
test at Providence which was scheduled
TO take place on May g.
The reason given is that the students
would have to be absent from their
regular college work, because the meet
falls on a mid-week date.
