WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
Harvard and Princeton Will Not
Meet in Foot Ball.

BOSTON. Mass. January AT the
close of each foot ball season a number
of persistent reports are circulated to
the effect that Harvard and Princeton
are to resume foot ball relations and meet
each other on the gridiron once more. AS
matter of fact, these reports are utterly
without foundation. Although the most
friendly relations exist between the two
colleges there is absolutely no likelihood
that they will resume foot ball games with
one another for some time to come.
The reason for this is that it would be
impossible. so far as Harvard is con-
cerned, to arrange a suitable date for a
game with Princeton. For a number of
years Harvard has had games on her
schedule with Carlisle. Brown, Dartmouth
and Yale. These games are all hard, and
are a great strain for the team to carry
as it is. Were Princeton added to these
games it would be more than the crimson
could hope to get away with.
AS long as Harvard continues to play
with Brown. Carlisle. Dartmouth and
Yale, in addition to the game with either
West Point or Annapolis, it will be i'm
possible for her to find a place on her
schedule for the tigers.

not likely that the new w estern members

will be at the New York meeting. The
Western date is fixed by it's constitution
and could not well pe changed. The

to bring the Western in close touch with
the minor associations in its territory by
putting up the smaller bodies presidents

days.
In order to make the selections for the
eight men each section of the country is
to be considered. and 1t goes without say
ing that no matter which way the COM
mittee makes UP the crew there is going
to be a large amount of kicking over the
men selected. The position OF the two
gentlemen Is anything but pleasant.
Mr. Curtiss Is of the opinion that the
best representative crew could be picked
from the men who are connected with
college rowing, but President Ptlkington
holds that e picked crew from the sweep
oarsmen of fhe clubs would include more
experienced men, ones who would be bet
ter able to stand the hard training for the
regatta. President Pilkington also ar
cues that IT would be next to an impossi-
bility to get college men together In May
and June to- train together. as their
STUDIES would preclude their absense from
classes. while 1t would Do very easy to
get the club members together.

under the circumstances would be strong

But. like the college men, the Potomac's

cred the limit for early openings, but the
154-game schedule brought about the dis
agreeable change. The cold weather has
been responsible for many good pitchers
going wrong in the first month of the sea-
son. Instead of framing independent
schedules the two big leagues will put the
selection of the dates up to a joint sched-
ule committee in the spring.
Although Manager Clark Griffith is
still on his ranch in Montana. prepara-
tons for the spring training trip Of the
Highlanders are going ahead at the local
headquarters, and when he arrives. in a
few days. he will find nearly everything
ready for his approval. Secretary Nahon
is busily engaged in passing on applica-
lions for exhibition games, and will be
obliged to refuse many ambitious minor
teams the honor of meeting the hustling
players who hold out on the hilltop.
AS there is some doubt about the
opening date of the American League
pennant season. Mr.. Nahon is unable to
promise exact dates as yet. He has de-
cided. however. on several of the teams
that will be accommodated with games on
the return trip. The Highlanders will
meet local clubs at Norfolk, Va; Ports
mouth. Va: Richmond. Va. and Lynch
burg, Va, and other cities, and Will wind
up the tour at Baltimore by meeting Ned
Hanlon's Eastern Leaguers. From the
Monumental city Griffith will jump with
his big aggregation of players to this city
for the opening game of the season.
From present indications it is probable
that the Highlanders will be ordered to
report at Atlanta March 2 Assuming
that the opening date of the regular sea-
son will be April 20. a little over two
weeks will remain for the transforming
tour on the way home. AS the squad
will be a large one, 1t may be split up

his control Including the regular twirl-
ers and those purchased or drafted he
will have seventeen boxmen. provided all

to count on at least dozen twirlers be-
ing in harness at Atlanta, and lack of ma
terial in that division seems an impossi-
bility. I. Plank. brother of the famous
Athletic star, is said to be one of the
most promising youngsters OF the lot. He
was drafted last fall from Norwich,
Conn.,. and will get thorough try-out.
Material for the other sections OF the
team will not be lacking. The squad
will number well over thirty, including
four catchers and a flock of promising
material for the outfield and infield.

tlonal charges which President Jordan
was reported to have made concerning
the amateur status Of Ralph Rose. the
former Michigan weight man, would fall

inclined to bring forward any proof con-
corning Rose. and now declares that he
was quoted in a very crude manner. If it
eventually transpireS that DR.. Jordan was

Although Rose may be entirely cleared, the

There Is no doubt that the interest in
this form of athletics is on the increase
but probably the most potent reason fol-
all this activity is the preparation being
made to send a monster team to the Olym.
pic games next summer in England
Every man who has athletic ability will
try for this great team. since the team is
to be selected by competition.
This great activity is not confined
merely to the college men who are eligible
for varsity teams. but the freshmen and
schoolboys are likewise working for the
team. There are no special eligibility
rules for the collection of the team, and
it may be taken for granted that some OF
the youngsters who will not be seen in
competition at the Intercollegiate will
make places on the American team.
There Is a good deal of disappointment
among the distance runners whose spe-
cialty is the two miles that this event is
not on the Olympic program. AS result
the two-milers Will have to win their
places either as candidates for the mile
or five-mile events! This will probably
result in a decrease in the candidates for
the two-mile run at the Intercollegiate
as most of these men would rather make
the Olympic team than win point at the

The only bar to Taylor's success in the
London meet is lack of condition. II he
arrives in England early enough TO be
thoroughly accustomed TO the climate
there is hardly n doubt that the great
ebony flyer will be the one TO burst the
tape in the 4oo-meter race. Taylor Is only
about five yards slower than the peerless
MaXey Long.
He is a quarter-miler such as is found
in athletics once in about ten years,
and to beat him on the big one-third- of-a-
mile track at Shepard's Bush will take a
4 40 performance, such as the athletic
world has not seen since Longs record
race at Gutenberg.
Coming to the half mile the Stars and
Stripes will no doubt be carried by Shep-
pard, Glarner and Sheehan. Since his
early career Sheppard has never suffered
Il half-mile defeat and 1t is hard to see
how the Brtons and Swedes will be able
to turn the trick next summer. Like Tay-
Tor. Sheppard in his true form Is about as
unbeatable as a human runner cap be,
and this Is attested to by his performance
of SO B.! at Travers Island a year ago.
In case Sheppard should fail Andrew Glar-

he might do better in pinch. Sheehan
