KID SULLIVAN MATCHED.
HerfOrd'S PrOteEe to Meet Goodman
at baltimore on Thursday.

Baltimore, Dec 6-Kid Sullivan, the
little Washington boxer, has been
matched to meet Kid Goodman, of Bos-
ton, in a flfteen-round battle before the
Eureka Athletic Club, at Germania
Maennerchor, next Thursday night.
The men viii do battle at 1S3 pounds at
P. m, and IL is expected that there will
be but little difference in weight when
they enter the ring. In Goodman Sulli-
van will meet one of the best boys that
has fought in Baltimore for a long while.
The Boston boxer showed some form by
beating Tommy Daily in this city recently
in the eleventh round. Goodman is built
on the same lines as Sullivan, and his
style Of boxing is somewhat similar. This
combination is expected to make a tough
argument for the Baltimore and Wash
ington fans who will attend the contest.
This viii be Sullivan's first contest since
he lost to Russell, and it will be an op-
portunity for the Kid to redeem himself
OF some of his lost glory.

Will PRINCETON HAVE Crew?
Carnegie Lake May Never Float a
Varsity Eight.
But intercollegiate ScuIIing or Even
tuFe-NOt Enough Interest.

Princeton, N J., Dec 6.-"Ever since il
was first announced that Mr.. Carnegie
was going to give Princeton a lake. said
member Of the sophomore class in the
Jersey college, who played on the football
scrub last fall, and is a member Of the
varsity wrestling team, there has been
gossip to the effect that Princeton would
soon become a candidate for crew honors.
With the opening of the lake this week
the talk has received a new impetus.
While I cannot speak with authority, I
can say that it is the prevailing senti-
ment among the undergraduates that It
viii be a very long while before Prince
ton repeats her attempt of the '70s to
become factor in intercollegiate rowing. "
In those days the crew practiced on
the Delaware and Raritan Canal, which
passes within a mile of the campus. The
new lake would be a better training
place, but it is likely that it will be
used only for swimming and boating,
and especially for practice by the hockey
team. which has hitherto been greatly
hampered by having TO work partly in
doors, and TO go some distance to get
any outdoor work at all. There may pos
sibly be intercollegiate sculling, or even
interclass races. but that's about all.
'The trouble won't be lack of money,
but lack of men. Princeton now is rep
resented in intercollegiate competition in
at least a dozen lines of sport. There are
the football and baseball teams, basket
ball. track and cross-country, hockey,
gymnasium. tennis. wrestling. fencing.
swimming, shooting. and association foot
ball teams. At present the three-year
rule applies TO all these. This means.
cutting out freshmen and graduate stu
dents as eligible material that Princeton
must develop from 1000 students teams to
compete with Yale and other colleges hav-
ing all the way from 5000 or 1900. In addi-
tiOn to this, no Princeton student is allow
ed to represent the university in intercol-
legiate contests in more than two branch
es OF athletics.
''The sports now carried are enough to
give everybody a chance, all the year
round; and II would be foolish for Prince
ton to attempt to add 10 her list any new
intercollegiate sports, especially such
strenuous and exciting games as eight-oar
rowing
II think I can safely say that such is
the feeling at present in the student body
and the faculty alike"
