&, +. COURTNEY. association are
among the reasons given for the
break btween the "old man" and
the authorities. Resident alumni
and university officials, protesting
against the impending loss of
the veteran coach, are bringing all
possible influences to bear to induce
Courtney to alter his announced de-
termination His contract still has
three years to run, and the friends Of
the Ithaca school object to his release.
Influences tending to widen the breach
between the coach and the athletic
management have been developing for
some time. OF all the athletic coaches
at Cornell Courtney is said to have
received the lowest salary-s2,5O0. As
he is but Sc years of age, he feels that
he is far from his last days of useful
ness. Friends of the coach say that he
has had numerous offers of increased
salary from other institutions, but he
has steadfastly rejected them, declar-
ing that his place was with Cornell.
John l.. Senior, graduate manager, is
held directly responsible for Court
ney's decision to ask to be relieved of
his contract. Frequent arguments over
the management of the crews are said
to have resulted in settlement unfavor-
able and unjust to the coach. The
governing board of the athletic asso-
citation is charged with niggardliness
in connection with the naval appro-
priations. Formal action on Court
ney's request for release cannot be
taken until October, when the ath-
letic council, with whom full author
ity rests, holds its next regular meet
ing. CornelIs success on the water in
the past has been due entirely to
Courtney. According to those who
known him, Courtney is no angel to
get along with. He never minces
words. A failure to do ones duty is
an objectionable sin in his eyes. He
has taken men out of the boat and
crew on mere suspicion of dereliction
in duty. His anger is the equal of a
Chinese typhoon. But he is always
fair.

England who now JACK MOAKLEY.
are coaching college athletes on the
cinder path, and from his work with
the Cornell track and country
teams he has rightfully earned the
title of the foremost trainer of track
men in the country. Before going to
Cornell, Moakley used to coach school
boys in Boston, the athletes of the
Boston Athletic association and Of
several other athletic clubs. While
there he brought out the wonderful
quarter-miler, Tommy Burke, whose
red shock of hair crossed the line in
quarter-mile one day when being
trained by Moahey, a foot or 50 ahead
of Maxey Long, in rs seconds flat. The
race was a match between the pair
and was run on clay horse track and
in a driving rainstorm, with the mud
three inches deep and a strong wind
in the runners faces Many prominent
sporting men who saw this race called
it the fastest Quartermile they ever
witnessed, for at the finish each mans
feet weighed four or five pounds with
the caked mud The training of Burke
was one of Monkeys earliest achieve
ments. Burke also won the quarter
hands down in the big international
meet in New York on Berkeley Oval in
1895. Moakley went to Cornell in 1899,
and started in to work for the end
that he succeeded in achieving for the
first time in l905--the winning Of the
intercollegiate track meet Moakley
had a harder proposition than perhaps
any other coach in the country. He
went to a big university where track
athletics did not exist even in name,
and he had to not only train the bare
handful of men who came out vOlun-
tarily, but he also had to hustle about
the university to get out enough men
to make some sort of a competition
for the men he wanted to bring out.
There was no interest taken in the
sport, and it was hard to stimulate
any. Grew was the all-absorbing
topic. Moakley started in at the bot
tom of the scale, and with his usual
sagacity he took up the branch he
could do most with at the beginning
that is, distance trimmings. He knew
il would take years to develop an all
round team, but if he could turn out
high-class squad of distance run
ners who would attract attention in
the long races, where the competition
among college athletes seemed at that
time to be most keen, it would be pos
sible to attract more attention to the
other branches Of track work.

In a statement made to the Associated
Press, President Jordan pronounced the
article published yesterday that faulty
construction was responsible for the
overthrow of the buildings was appar.
emily based on irresponsible gossip. He
then goes on to say that with the ex-
ception of the gymnasium which wds
somewhat weak, the buildings were
strong enough for ordinary purposes,
Reiterating his statement that there is
no truth in the charges, Jordan says:
''If there has been any graft in the con-
struction of the gymnasium it remains
for the trustees to ferret it out
"lf there was any graft in the build
ing of the chapel and Library, then Mrs,
Stanford was swindled, because the
structures were put up with her money
and under her direction" He concludes
by saying that undoubtedly competent
engineers will be called to investigate
the ruins and the reconstructed Stan
ford will be of steel and earthquake
proof.
