considered TO have an excellent chance OF
doing the same thing over again. The
Pennsylvania team was made up prao-
tically OF freshmen, n il was said at the
time that with the perfection of team work
that another year together would give
them they would undoubtedly be able
to clean up things. The Quakers have
suffered some, OF course, by the injury to
Keinath, the quarterback candidate for
the football team. who had his leg broken
in practice.
Keinath was one Of the best men on the
basketball team, and although 1t Is likely
that he will be out of bed again in timeato
start practice with the basketball team it
is certain that he will not be benefited by
his absence from active work. Pennsyl-
vania has more veterans than any other
college.
Columbia, tho champion OF 1904 and 1905,
and second last spring, has hopes OF getting
a better team in the field than that Of the
last season. One OF the chief causes OF
Columbia's poor showing was the bad
condition Of Marcus l.. Hurley, captain of
the team. Hurley was just trained out
by many consecutive seasons of work at
different forms Of sport. He played foot
hall last fall and did not benefit by it. He
never die get back ofOrm in the basketball
season. He is in fine condition now and
weighs about 1876 pounds, a big gain In
weight for him.
Besides Hurley, Chester W. Cuthell, the
present captain, and John j. Ryan, another
DihyCT OH ldBJ year y Ipdm, VIII surely yet
places again. That will leave two places on
the team to be filed and a substitute or 80
to be found. Columbia had a freshman
player last year named Melitzer who was
one OF the most active men on the floor.
Neither probably will get a place.
Hurley and Ryan being tall and heavy
and Cuthell and Neither being short, al
though muscular, the team will present an
amusing contrast in heights, If made up
that way. II may be a hard task to find

be as good in quality as the other four.
Columbia has no freshman rule, so that pos
sibty there may be a good man in the in
coming class who will size up with the
others.
leges of the Pou9hkeepeie contingent this
wear il precarious. They are the two hard
luck institutions-Wisconsin and George
town. O'Dea having resigned and left
Wisconsin and Dempsey now being out Of
Georgetown, great uncertainty as to what
il to be done and can be donesis present in
both places. Georgetown has taken the
blow in a little the better manner. A
graduate coach. Murray A. Russell, '03, is
at work there now.
IL was a hard fight to send a crew East last
spring and following that it was a hard fight
to get the faculty permission to play foot
ball. One scrap following after the other
left the students rather tired.

ball players and put rowing aside. II is
more than likely that there will be little
fall practice out there. and that will mean
that II a coach Is engaged and he takes hold
in the spring. no matter how early, he will
start under an enormous handicap. DIR.
c. p. Hutchins. who q from Syracuse to
take charge Of the University of Wisconsin,
has had no experience that would qualify
him to do anything with the crew. He

That puts it up to Wisconsin rather 10

Rice has been safely landed at Columbia, he
is removed az a possibility, although much
talked about at one time for the place'left
vacant by O'Dea, As has been said often
before, the crop OF coaches il mighty small,

There does not appear to be much chance
that the colleges will get together and form
ulate a rule on the competing in A. A. U.
meetings OF their students in the summer
season. IL was hoped for at one time that
this would be done, but there IL no dispo-
sition to regard II as a necessary step.
Even Princeton, which supposedly has n
rule on the subject, has not adhered strictly
TO t.. William VI. Armstrong. the track
team captain, was able N get permission
to compete for the New York A 4. the past
summer in the championship meetings.
Just how the permit was obtained is not
matter OF public information.
In the early part 81 the season, when il
first was declared that Armstrong would
compete under the athlefio club name,
