OVER 5000 PLAYERS TO

NEW YORK, March 2S.-The great

skat congress meets in this city. Five
thousand players from various parts

and the Liederkranz-by constructing
a bridge of nearly a block from one
building to the other.
Herman Ridder and Judge Lorenze

PENN NEEDS MONEY
AND WON'T CUT DOWN.

I PHILADELPHIA, March 23.-The
University OF Pennsylvania authorities
are known to favor athletics, and 1t Is
not likely that any action taken by
Harvard will have much influence here,
at least so far as curtailing the number
of games in baseball or football. 1t is
argued that a careful and thorough
preparation is necessary In order to put
an athlete into condition for a contest
in which he can show all that is in
him, and the plan has been to arrange
enough easy contests to afford suf-
fcient practise to bring about this per-
feet condition.
Once in shape, it is little trouble to
keep the men in condition for other
contests, and the temptation to engage
IN more games than is really good for
the players has been too hard to re-
sist, particularly in football, where the
money. received from the games Is the
chief source Of revenue of the Athletic
Association. Penn needs the money,
and SO long as the public continues to
contribute at the gate the schedule will
not be cut materially. However, 1t Is
very likely that more care may be
taken about permitting men to take
part In more than two classes of sport,
and an order has already gone out for
bidding lndiscriminate competitions by
Pennsylvania men in indoor athletic
meets. -

committee of the Yale faculty took up
the subject of athletic excess W years
ago and considerably reduced certain
features of college athletics, including
some of It's financial outgrowths. That

now practically no faculty committee

The subject of reducing %intercol-

it, a movement to bring pressure to

restrict their activities to one such

eled chiefly at the minor sports and not

Radical Changes Planned, Affect
ing Minor Contestants in
Many Schedules.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 23.-It
is generally believed at Harvard Uni
versity tina the vote of the faculty at
a special meeting on Friday night
recommending an intercollegiate agree
meht to reduce the number of inter-
COLLEGIATE contests will have no effect
whatever upon any of the matches ar
ranged for this academic year. The
baseball schedule for this spring a
been completed and calls for twenty
sever games.
In the opinion of many Harvard men
there is a strong possibility of a
cal change next full in the football
schedule. There is ven a prospect, It
is asserted, that the schedule may be
cut to two games and that the Har-
ward teams public activity in this line
of sport may eventually be limited,
though probably not this year, to CON
tests with Yale and one other college
only probably Dartmouth. The sup
porters of this plan take the view that
football should be put on a plane with
rowing and that h football team nke
the boat crew, should be trained ana
developed for not more than W or
three contests.
President George Harris and the attn
letic authorities of Amherst College are
in favor of the plan, President Harris
holding that a few games are better for
the scholarship and physical well being
of the students than a long schedule
or the adjustment of contests alto
gether. Amherst's baseball schedule
has already been cut to twenty games.
President M. H. Buckham, of the
University of Vermont, favors h plan,
but as the baseball games have al
ready been made up there will be no
curtailment this spring at least.
Dartmouth, which has for the past
few years trimmed her athletic sched-
ules, will probably not be affected by
any further curtailment. acting Presi-
dent John X. Lord, believing that the
present proportion of athletics Is a
necessary form of recreation at the col
lege.

Lozier, Bernin withsthe Renault, Co.

one of the best ever brought together

The Lozier, the two 1sotta cars and
the Apperson, which raced at Savannah
last week, will arrive here early this
week with their drivers, and they will
begin immediate preparations for the
Briarcliff Cup event. A number of New
York autoists who went to Savannah
returned last night. They were all en-
thusiastic over the excellence of the
course. While the entries were not
large, the effect of the Savannah events

Delegates representing fourteen clubs in

tended a meeting at the Continental Hotel
Saturday night to hear evidence on two
protests lodged by the Clark A. A. players
In their last game with the Fall River
Rovers and the Newark Football Club in
its third rouHd contest with the True
Blues last Sunday.
The Clarks protested against M. Riley

River Rovers' eleven. A letter was read
from the secretary Of the Gorham Foot
ball Club, Of Providence, which stated
that these players were members Of the
Gorham eleven and played for that club

PRINCETON DELAYS
REFORM MOVEMENT.

PRINCETON, March 23. - Pro-
fessor ]. B. Fine, head of the athletic
executive committee of Princeton Uni
verslty, said last night: There are
two questions involved in reducing the
number of contests in athletics, the
academic and the athletic. From an
athletic viewpoint and that of develop
ing strong teams the present system is
needed, but as far as the academic side
is concerned that is q question for the
athlete himself to decide. At Prince
ton an athlete can compete in only two
branches of sport, so that there has
been little difficulty for the individual,
although university teams have lost
many valuable men in this way"

himself as being entirely in accord with

collegiate contests. President Van Hise
says the faculty of the University of
Wisconsin is unanimously in favor of
this reduction.

which have been played by Eastern
universities Ia about double that of the
University of Wisconsin," said Presi-
dent Van Hise. According to the
papers, Harvard is scheduled to play
twenty-seyen baseball games. and not
more than a ear g their football

year, we have five football and twelve
baseball games. The West has pre-

that we would very likely have had q
