I'm go to the place that makes me the
best OFFER"
There have been plenty of cases like this,
as Is well known to all men who have inter
ested themselves in college and school
athletics It is this sort Of thing that has
caused many OF the quick jumps which
school boys take from one college to an
other. 1t is observable in the case of the
particular school boy spoken of above that
he never went to any college. 1t was re-
ported that he was to enter college In New
York state and at the same time is was
whispered from his home town in another
state that he never would do that, because
the men In another college had something
on him." Apparently they were right, be-
cause when the time came around at which
he was expected to enter It was found
that he was not going there after all.
Matters in BAD state.
On the authority of men who have fol-
lowed the athletic situation in the schools
1t Is said that the whole matter now is in
a bad state. School boys get too much at
tention in a bad way from the collegians
and from clubs and they are directed
wrongly from the start. II the moral
status of school athletics and after that
college sport is to improve there will have
to be a sreat change, the athletic guards
ans say. Whether this change will be made
depends, they believe, greatly upon the at
titude Of college men. There are too many
stories Of inducements TO the college school
boys and there are too many changes from
one college to another by noted school per-
formers, The situation needs strong hand
ling. The Amateur Athletic union is doing
its best to prevent school boys from enter
ing into open athletic club competitions and
that will help on one side. There is much

Resignation of NOyes.
The resignation of Captain Noyes Of the
Yale crew not only is remarkable as being
the first time that Yale crew captain has
withdrawn from his crew, but It leaves the
Blues eight in even worse case than be-
fore The boat now has only three veter-
ans Ide. Boulton and Graham. Noyes is
the fourth man and Biglow the hfth of last
years combination who still are in college.
Biglow, decided not TO row because he had
been elected captain OF the foot ball team.
Now that Moves is out, 1t makes matters
worse. Yale lost Chase Weeks and Morse
Of last years boat through graduation, and
as the Yale crew was beaten by Harvard
last spring, the New HRvenites do not feel
very cheerful over the outlook.
There has been some suggestion that the
resignation Of Captain Noyes was not en-
tirely unexpected. He was elected last
year after the hard race with Harvard, in
which he was the man most badly used up
In all the boat He tainted quite away at
the end Of the race, and It caused not
little surprise and comment when, after the
race was over he was elected to captain
the boast for the following year. 1t was
said then that it seemed peculiar to elect
captain a man who had not shown to be as
strong an oarsman as some others equally
eligible. However. as things are run at
Yale. what had been done was accepted
without active comment, and any ideas
that might have been obtained as to the
advisability of choosing Noyes captain
were kept to the men who had them. Now
that he is out 1t is safe to say that great
many men at Yale are not at all surprised

NEW POST FOR CLEVELAND.
Former President Made Head of Life
Insurance Presidents,


New York. Jan. 31.-The recently or
ganized Association of Life Insurance
Presidents is to have at its head
Grover Cleveland. former President
Of the United States, and at the present
one Of the trustees Of T. T. RvaD's
majority stock" Of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society. Mr. Cleveland is
also to be chief counsel Of the recently
organized association. and for this lat
ter work he win receive one-half of the
salary he drew while President of the
United States, $4,000 a year.
This news leaked out tonight and
caused a decided sensation. The Asso-
citation of Life Insurance Presidents
was conceived by Paul Morton. who left
President RoOsevelts Cabinet to be-
come president OF the Equitable. At the
time he sent the notices ont calling
upon the heads of the various life in
surance corporations TO meet he was
severely criticised the assertion being
made that the proposed organization
would really mean the formation Of a
gigantic trust, inasmuch as its avowed
purpose was to secure concerted ac-
tion for the benefit of life insurance
companies"
Mr. Morton replied to this criticism
by issuing a statement in which he de-
clared the object of the association was
TO have members intelligently cooper
ate with each other for such reforms
as would benefit the policy holders and
cheaper the cost of insurance.
