MANY AUTOS 1T SHOW.
Record Breaking List for Grand
Central Palace Exhibition.

The great progress of the motor industry is
less than ninety-four distinct types Of cars in the
seventh annual automobile show OF the Automobile
Club Of America which will be held In the Grand
Central Palace December to s.
While four-ffths of the entered. seventy
six machines, of American manufacture. eight

show will all that is novel and new in the
leading French German. British and Italian fac
tories
While the show committee has arranged a COM
prehensive and beautiful color scheme of decora-
ton for the interior OF the Palace they realize the
truth OF the old adage that "A good wine needs no
bush." and by following natures lines and color
tngs they have tried to create a harmonious at
mosphere, Or in other words. TO provide beauti-
full frame to throw into relief the themselves
which is. of course, the real object of the show.
Recognizing the fact that the motor is an out
door vehicle the committee has gone to nature for
its effects. and gray. green and brown form the
basis OF the color scheme. The columns and panels
white; the signs will be in green, white back
ground, and the floor covering brown. The gray,
of course, typies clouds. the green the grass and
the trees, and the brown the long, dusty highway.
The gray walls will be relieved at intervals by club
wheels and club flags OF orange and green The
chief idea has been TO form neutral tone and out
door atmosphere, avoiding all tawdry, frosted we'd
ding cake effects and bunting displays calculated TO
distract the attention of visitors from the and
chinery.

ATHLETICS At HARVARD.

The undergraduates at Harvard are aroused
the possibility that exists that intercollegi-
ate contests may not be permitted another year.
The corporation has passed vote which Writ
ually provides that after the present football
season Harvard shall take part in no more in
tercolegiate athletic contests until a joint COM
rnittee of the corporation and Of the board of
overseers has made an investigation into the
regulation OF athletics and until. 1t is assumed
The governing boards of the university have de-
cided that the conduct OF sports is satisfactory.
The three interesting features OF the situation
are: First, the appointment by the governing
boards Of a committee of investigation: second.
the order Of the governing boards TO the athletic
committee not to sanction appointments for In
tercolegiate contests after December l; third,
the possibility that the governing boards may
or may not sanction contests after that date.
1t seems highly improbable that the corporation
will take a step radical in an effort to cure
the abuses which have arisen IN the conduct NJ
athletics. SO much has already been done TO
improve conditions and divorce the Spirit of
commercialism not only at Harvard but az other
colleges that the necessity has passed for taking
stand that would arouse the III feeling of the
undergraduates and prevent that friendly ri
Valry which does so much 70 arouse good fellow
ship. The Harvard Bulletin" says on the sub
ject.
The college would go on and the undergradu-
Etes would find some pleasure IN life even ~
intercollegiate athletics We're abolished The
Editor OF THE Bulletin remembers the time
when Harvard was not permitted 20 play foot
bah with other colleges II those remote days
class elevens played with each other; the interest
IN the games was intense and the playing was
excellent. Many Of the undergraduates are con-
stanty crying for a revival OF the old class
spirit; there could be no better way CT resur-
recting II than 10 do away with intercollegiate
athletics and conne the attention Of the students
TO class contests But we believe that Harvard
will row and play baseball with Yale next
spring.

COLLEGE ROWING.

The possibility of big international regatta
which the winner of the OIford-Cambridge
eight Dared shell race may meet the winner or
the Yale-Harvard struggle and the victor in
the intercollegiate regatta at Poughkeepsie. Is
srousing unusual interest in rowing circles. II.
p Burchel sailed for England last week to ar
range the meeting. II possible. and the outcome
of his trip will be awaited with no little impa-
tience Such meeting would make for the best
interest OF rowing and stimulate the sport, even
ss the meeting between Harvard and Cambridge
did in England this fall. The Yale News" in
commenting on the subject editorially, says:
We are very favorably impressed with the
general idea. Interne tional intercollegiate eth-
letic contests are always OF the greatest inter-
est and they are attended by the best Of success
from nearly every point of view. They stinu-
late healthy spirit of rivalry between the uni
Versities of two countries and settle justly as
possible the superiority Of the over the other
IN the contested sport. By their means, also an
insight is gained into the methods and life OF
dency thereby for the one TO be drawn closer to
the other. This spirit of friendship is not con-
fined entirely TO the university world. The in
terest which is taken in these contests is na-
that through their widespread influence the re-
lations between the two countries concerned are
much siren ngthened. Inasmuch the race is 70
be held in this country, II would be q mistake
not 10 include the winner of the Poughkeepsle
regatta The international championship would
be decided more fairly If the three crews were
entered. AS yet the whole plan is In the air.
for none of the universities concerned have been
approached on the subject, but hope that
the scheme will ultimately materialize.
