though the weights will be the same as in
an intercollegiate meet, a moro liberal
margin viii be given, that strict training
may not be required. The. Cornell wrestling
team has elected c. c. Oderkirll eapt1in
for next season. The Ithacans expect q.
be represented In the intercollegiate associa-
ton next year. They were prevented from
joining this year by the rule which requires
college to have had a team for at least
two seasons. Dual wrestling bouts will
be arranged at Cornell twice month next
year. Coach Frazer has been engaged.

J. W. Pattlson, in a championship shoot
Of the Rife and Pistol club at Harvard
recently, broke the clubs rife record by
scoring eighty-one out of a possible 100
points. The shoots are being held twice q
week and will continue until May, when
cups will be given to those who have scored
the greatest number Of points with either
weapon. A rapid-hre shoot with double
action revolvers, when each contestant will
be required to shoot at the rate Of once
every two seconds will be held this month.

An international heavyweight wrestling
tournament will be held in Montreal on
April 16, H. is and 10. About 1880 in prize
money will be divided among the successful
contestants and the expenses Of outside
entrants will be paid. The meeting will be
held under the auspices OF the Canadian
Athletic club
Radical reform will begin Immediately at
the Chicago University II the reforming
element in tho faculty has its way. I'm
willing to wait until fall to put in operation
the recent recommendations of the foot
ball conference, many of the radicals have
insisted that che training table be given
up Immediately. Abolishing the training
table is not the only step which the
radicals hope to take They plan to do
away with the training quarters and to
lower the price of admission to all games
to a minimum charge, In addition to ex-
perimenting with several other minor re-
forms. Their attention will be conferred
first on the training table and so intent
are they in doing away with this time
honored institution that the base ball and
track athletes who have always enjoyed the
juicy porterhouses and training table
delicacies for a minimum rate OF board.
practically have given up hope Of eating
at the table this spring. Those Of the
radical element argue that the training
breed a spirit of professionalism and that
the attention of the athletes is centered
too directly on athletic work. Members Of
the baseball squads are awaiting the re-
turn of Coach Stage who they believe will
be able to thwart the move.

There has been considerable discussion
during the past week or two among New
York Automobiles. especially those who
are interested in trials of speed, over the
probable changes in the rules governing
the Vanderbilt cup race this year. 1t was
intlmated at the recent meeting of the
racing board Of the A. A. A. that w X.
Vanderbilt, Jr., would advance several new
suggestions regarding the contest after
his return from Europe. What these sug-
gestions will be can only be guessed at
until his return. To judge from indications
the racing board stands ready to fall in
line with any idea that may appear to
work for the betterment of speed racing.
1t is generally understood that If Mr.. Van
derbilt has any drastic changes TO suggest
they will be along lines conforming with
the rules that will govern the coming
French Grand Prix, which break away en-
tirely from the artificial conditions that
controlled the various Bennett cup con-
tests. Actually the new Il. c. f. rules will
be reverslon to the old conditions govern
ing straightaway races before the day of
repair stations, at which II was possible
to have almost any kind of a break mended
by experienced mechanics. If Mr.. Van
derbilt's observations on his present trip
have convinced him that the cup race
which bears his name will be a better con-
test under rules similar to those adopted
for the big French event, 1t may be as
sumed that he will recommend the adop-
| ton of similar rules. In such an event
the next Vanderbilt cup race will call for
| all the skill and resources OF the drivers
and lghtning-like methods Of replacing
worn out or punctured tires will not figure
so largely in the result. Thea. c. f. will
allow no outside help for competing drivers
and mechaniclans. The two men on each
car will be required to do everything neces-
sary to get through the race. II is OF
course decidedly improbable that any
recommendations will be made with a view
TO increasing the distance of the Wander
bilt contest. Three hundred miles is con.
sidered ample to disclose the virtues OF
! failings Of a car running at from fifty tc
seventy miles an hour. II is unlikely. too
that the Nassau county circuit could be
secured for a greater length of time thar
would be necessary to finish 300 mile
race.
