Wisconsin FavorS Plan of Hav-
ing Western Regatta for
for Western Colleges.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 15.-Max Loeb. Sec
rotary of the Wisconsin Alumni associa-
ton and editor of the Alumni Magazine,
issued a statement last night. in which
he strongly advocated abandonment Of
the policy of sending crews east every
June TO participate in the intercollegiate
regatta at POughkeepSie.
He declares the natural field of ath-
letics for Wisconsin is in the middle west.
that an intercollegiate rowing associa-
ton should be organized by such of the
big western universities as have aquatic
facilities. that a series of rowing races
should be held between crews represent
ing the different departments of the uni
versity. that an eastern trip is expensive,
that owing to natural difficulties Wis
cOnsin is unable to acquit herself credit
ably at POughkeepsie, and that the ad-
vertising which the university receives
by sending crews east is not am adequate
return for the expense and trouble liz
Cured.
Coming as it does on the eve OF the
proposed request by the board of regents
for the employment OF = crew coach. the
statement of Secretary Editor Loeb is
causing comment Tho regents will pass
on the question Of coach Tuesday.

no hope of making them up again the
men decided to quit. Much sympathy was
expressed for Vanderstuyft and Stol, the

Stol had been the instigator of some
brilliant sDrinrs. but the accident wore
out Nanderstuyft and, the brunt of the
work falling on Stol it was inevitable
that the team should drop behind. Rutt
