The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1907-06-30

is credited with 0 As seconds for 100 yard
In the 1904 championships on his natiy'
@. l., Parke. from the University. Of Utah
is the Rocky Mountain record holder for 10
yafds, Parke also is fast for 20 yards:
sHaTtranft, a freshman this year from
Canton, has been clocked In 10 seconds ,fol
100 yards, but his better stunt is the loH
hurdle race, In which he will do most Of hi
work. Whitham's brother Lloyd is from
Germantown Academy and 10 regarded as
very likely performer. He also 10 a fssl
Splinter. F. Shoemaker and D.. Lea, from
Germantown, and members Of the 1911
class. have good marks in the sprints
There are three other known 10 t-6 men
j. z. Throokmorton, Towne from Brown
Preparatory School, and j. A. Bedgewiok
from the University OF Illinois, all eligible
Pennsylvania is not we'll of for hurdlers
McCulloch, Of whom much had been ex-
pected, not having been fit enough to be
taken to Cambridge. Hartranft lie regarded
as likely to be in good form for the low
liked also as a hurdler. D. Sommer Of the
Central High School may do something
The best shotputter in sight among the
new men lie Pike. the former Swarthmore
football player; he has done better than
~ feet. and under Mike Murphy's handling
is likely TO extend that. p. Macklin, a bio
chap from st. Paul's School, may not have
reached the limit Of his capabilities with Il
feet, and he will get q chance. 7: A,
Mcdonald from st. Francis Xavier College
is another weight man who is expected TO
do good work next spring.
There are two good pole vaulters who
may help out next season. O.. B.. Parker
from George School has a mark Of ii feet
2 inches; He is very young and for that
Another man is Pickles. who has done II
feet 9 inches and with another seasons
training is expected to do near the cher
ished II foot performance. Hunter. the
Australian broad jumper. has done ~ feet
10 inches. and il he can repeat he will be
the best Of the Pennsylvania leapers.
There was no good man in that event this
year.
To help out Jones and Laise in the dis
lance runs are MCGUIRE; Gum n Boyle.
Gum Is another Australian, a brother OF a
former Pennsylvania distance runner.
MCGUIRE comes from the West. Boyle is
perhaps better at half a mile than anything
else. He has o 2 minutes even. In
the half mile there is another runner, Beck,
who was ineligible because of his studies
this season. Beck has been timed faster
than 2 minutes, and he will be Of assistance
if he gets around all right with the faculty
next year.
The Michigan team, which made such a
good showing in the meet at Cambridge,
will be minus the services OF the man who
did most to help out the team. He is the
great Garrels, who has run his last races
as an intercolle giate performer. Inasmuch
as Garrels won 10 out Of 20 points for Michi-
gan his loss will be felt. In addition H. P.
Ramey and Stewart, who were brought
East. have been graduated. Neither Of
these men was able to score, although
Rapley was looked on a certainty in The
half mile.
What Michigan loees in Garrels will be
hard to make up. The Michigan men ex-
pect TO do something with Patterson, the
1910 high jumper. who was not brought TO
the Cambridge meet because OF the fresh
man rule. With Mofitt and w. j. Marshall
Of Yale out Of the jump, and Gilbert Horrax
as his chief contender, Patterson, should
score in the high jump. The Wolverines
expect to do better in the broad jump. as
w. P. Knox Of Yale will not be competing
again. Besides their field men. the Michi-
gan athletes have their good distance run
ners who we're in evidence at Cambridge.
Arthur from the Detroit University High
School il a good weight man who may
score, now that he is eligible.
The question Of the scene OF the next in
teroollegiate championship meet will be in
allegiance in the summer, TIL Pennsyl-
vania men. owing TO their strained rela-
tions with Harvard. are not very eager for
the games to go TO Cambridge again. They
have ar idea. however, that the chances are
greatly against the games being taken away
from Cambridge this year. Harvard en-
joys the support OF Yale and Cornell in the
matter Of the field for the games. while
Pennsylvania and Princeton are allied
against the Crimson. Many OF the smaller
institutions are opposed to Cambridge, but
they are in New York. Pennsylvania and
further toward Philadelphia; The New
England colleges are for Cambridge. The
PENNSYLVANIA men feel that in 1909 a sue
cessful try for a change is to be made.
1t is not so long since a wave OF reform
struck athletics at Georgetown, and for the
last two years conditions have been such
there that those who ever complained OF
l. -. -.-..N1 I---- - NhAtr I
now. The athletic authorities at the Wash
ington university now are severer than al
most any other athletic heads. Men who
nave a single condition in their studies are
ineligible for athletics; men who have
H part in sports D either eH' Medical school men men
are barred, as much because of the nature
of their school duties as by ruling OF the
faculty. The students in the law school
live so far away from the university proper
that they have no chance 10 take part in
athletics.
These conditions naturally operate strong
ly against the successful maintenance OF
teams. The Georgetown crew has suffered
greatly because OF the disqualification OF
men of whom there could be not the slightest
suspicion as to- their amateur standing.
1t simply is a part of the policy of Father
Buell., the present head Of the university.
He has no particular sympathy for athletic
sports, and in view Of some abuses in recent
ythIs Nc lttlb JurllliSu III tohhhS rN'N'S
measures. Heads of Catholic institutions
are moved with comparative frequency
and if there is to be a change in policy the
Georgetown men have come 70 believe
they must wait until Father Buell. is called
elsewhere 10 take charge.
At Wisconsin, too, they have the rule that
a single condition bars a student from
athletic sports. Wisconsin is another in
stitution passing through a reform stage
in sports. 1t generally happens that re-
fnr1,,ara atart hy taar ipu dOUn the aHigtinp
fabric, without much regard for possible
consequences. That was what was done
at Wisconsin. and the damage done before
athletic sports were restored TO anything
like u quiet basis will be hare to repair,
those who are interested in sport at Madison
declare. The athletic advisers there say
hat eventually sport will be restored to its
old basis and that there will be, none of the
trouble which nearly wrecked everything
out there in the last two seasons.
