At this writing Annapolis does not have a
very cheerful outlook for getting dual races

to give Pennsylvania her customary date.

Annapolis on the first Saturday in May,

INCONSISTENCIES DATE.
If there is any college in this country
which maintains a crew under difficulties It
Is the University Of Wisconsin. The west
erners are beset with troubles which would
discourage many another institution. Not
satisfied with making II a hardship to send
the Wisconsin eight to Poughkeepsie every
year. the regents of the university have in
terfered as much as they could with the
dual race between Wisconsin and Syracuse
After the race had been arranged and the
date extensively advertised the regents
compelled a new date on the ground that 1t
would be a dissertation Of Memorial day to
row on May 80. For a time 1t was feared
that there would be no race because of the
difficulty in finding a new date. The mat

FOOT BALL RULE MAKERS.
To make the final codifcation of the foot
ball rules for 1907 the American intercol-
legiate foot ball rules committee will meet
in New York. There will be no further
changes in, the rules. The committee made
all the amendments 1t intended to make
last winter and at this meeting 1t will en-
deavor to clear up everything of doubtful
meaning. Since the last meeting requests
were sent out to the leading foot ball
coaches and captains all over the country
with requests for suggestions to- aid the
proper codification of the rules. The COM
mittee is very anxious to avoid repetition
of the blunder 1t made in the last rule
book, when it neglected to provide for a
lineman running with the ball from his
position in the line. In changing the rule
on this point the committee omitted one
sentence. which caused lots of trouble in
the Pennsylvania Michigan game year
ago Although the codifcation Of the rules
ia not an easy task by any means, the
COMMITTEES has been none too careful in the
past
THE FOOT BALL SCHEDULES.
The announcement of the Princeton foot
ball schedule for 1907 completes the dates
for all the big eastern teams. The at
fractions presented for 1907 are practically
the same as In 1906. The Yale-Princeton
game and the Pennsylvania Michigan con-
fest on November 10 are the first big
games the country will see. Yale ana
Harvard will meet on November e at
cambridge while Pennsylvania and
Cornell will close the intercollegiate season
at Philadelphia on Thanksgiving day. 1t
will still remain for the Army and Navy to
