tion reduces this sum to t33 .279. .27O.
the difference Is accounted for hy the

II also appeared that a consi lcrlll p
number of new depositorps having
active accounts subject to dishursiug

amounts allowed by law and therefore
their balances were not subject To- the
call.
The working balance today is some.

ITHACA, y. Y, Feb. 11.-That there
has been a serious break in the athletic
relations between Cornell and Prince

Judge Irvine, president of the Athletic
Council. and Graduate Manager Dugan

would be no football game between the
two universities next fall

will be no football game between Cor
nell and Princeton next fall. A three
year agreement made in 1905 has OK
pired Under this one game was played
in Princeton. one IN New York and ore
in Ithaca. Princeton had the option OF
renewing this agreement, but declined
10 do so. Cornell proposed home and
home agreement, the first game to be
played in Princeton, but Princeton de-
ciined to pay in Ithaca at any time,
and proposed first a one and then a two
year agre ement for games in New York
or Princeton.
"The Cornell faculty and athletic
management both oppose contests in
large cities on grounds not of the com
peting university. For this reason and
because Princeton's proposal was deem
ed BY Cornell and admitted by Prince
ton to be inequitabie. it was declined"

Student Athletic Presidents
in Favor of Meeting
Americans.

CAMBRIDGE England. Feb. ll--Some
members of the Cambridge University
Athletic Association, including Z. ii.
Ryle, president, are of the opinion that
the British universities should accept
the challenges sent by the Inter
collegiate Association of Amateur Ath-
letes OF America for an international
track and field athletic meeting between
teams representing the colleges and uni
versities Of the United States and those
of Great Britain, following the Olympic
games this year, and they are making
an effort to bring about a meeting this
summer
Oddly enough, the presidents Of both
the oxford and the Cambridge clubs.
who are students, are in favor of &C
cepting the American challenge, with
some notifications, while the honorary
easurers CT the clubs. who are pro-
fessors. think that the obstacles arc in
surmountable.
J. H. Gray. the honorary treasurer or
the club does not think il viii be pos
sihIe 10 accept the American challenge,
as there is no telling how many of
the present track team viii be at the
university In July.
Some of the men are in their last year

Harvard Coach
Students Hope for improve

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Feb. u.-Percy
d. HaughtOn has been appointed head
coach for the Harvard football eleven
for next fall.
The appointment was made by the
athletic association. was not unexpeCt-
ed. and is one that is regarded favor
ably by the undergraduates in general.
The poor success of the Crane regime
last fall. made 1t probable that a new
coach would be selected.
Harvard football adherents are nope
ful Of good results from Haughton.s
coaching. especially IL he has as good
material to work with as Crane had.
He has much more practical knowledge
OF the game than Crane had.
Haughton's Record.
Haughton played tackle on the cham
pionship Harvard eleven which defeated
Yale in 1888. Besides being a first-class
tackle, he was a fine pUnter, and did the
bOoting for the Crimson on the rain
soaked field in New Haven in 1898. He
coached at Cornell for a couple OF sea-
sons after leaving college, and turned
out a team that dOWned Princeton i 10
wards football coaching since being
graduated.
He is considered a competent handler
Of men and has kept in touch with the
game under the new rules. It is possible
that he may succeed Crane as the Har-
ward representative on the rules COM

By THOMAS S. RICE.
How hath the mighty fallen!

How hath the mighty fallen!
The torrent Of words has been
damWedl
or TO state the matter explicitly, Rob
Roy Mackey last night met his master
in Joe Turner and was thrown SO de-
cisively that there need be no agitation
of a return match or Offering of excuses
II was the hrst time in his career that
Mackey had nothing to say. and his
silence as he read the handwriting On
the wall after the first five minutes
was impressive to the point of arousing
sympathy.
The first fall was gained by Turner
in fifteen and One-haIf minutes. by a
three-uuarter Nelson and the second
in one hour and four minutes by a
scissors and bar hammer. BY these
Turner becomes recognized at once as
nv far the best wrestler now in active
service IN Washington, and one of the
best welter wrestlers in the country.
Youth Wins.
It was the old story of youth ard ex-
perience against age and experience
with the strength of youth deciding the
fortune. Turner was stronger in every
muscle stood the strain of the Cruel
Of the agility and springiness which are
impossible in old timers no matter how
well they feel or how earnest they may
be in their Efforts He tossed Mackey
at will, and when the veteran valiantly
wrenched himself free from dangerous
positions, Turner went after him before
ne could recover. and rolled him into
another tight place.
The match mas IN the National Gyfga ri
gymnasium for the benefit of the Ma
tional Guard Athletic Association, and
TO Can't c. K Edwards. Of the COrCOrdn
Cadets, belongs a large share of the
credit for its success If ever the deS-
peration of despair showed in man \
eyes II did ii Mackey when ne was
thrown the first time. He had been
STRANGELY confident that he would win,
had bet a large amount of money on
himself and advised his most intimate
friends 10 place their money the same
way Five minutes after hosuhties
started Turner began tossing Mackey
around the mat so rapidly that the
Man Of Many Words did not have a
chance to get his breath When the
fail came he knew better than anyone
else present that he had reached the end
of ms rope.
Mackey's Craftiness Unavaiing.

the inevitable. The articles called fol

ner had gained one fall-if he did not

the receipts from the CO. or 700 spec

and 1eeTs affected him not. and he
turned up smiling but worried after in
