THE OLYMPIC CREW.
Proposed to Pit the Winners at New
London and Poughkeepsie.

The committee designated to pick a rep
resentative American crew to send to the
Olympian regatta on the Thames next
summer has about given up it's plan of
picking a man from each of the leading
varsity Fights. and thus making up a
team. The idea was much opposed. One
college man remarked to the writer,
why. the slowest crew at Poughkeepsie
could defeat such a crew"
President James PilkinSton of the Ma
tional Association of Amateur Oarsmen
who, with Julian Curtis. constitutes the
committee, says in a note to The Star:
81 am now for the winner of Poughkeep-
sic against New London as the only way
to settle the question advisa Bile. To per-
petuate and elevate the spirit of strife in
International rowing it is almost abso-
lutely necessary for America to be pres
ent at the games. and our only chance.
it seems TO me, is to select the winner
of New London and Poughkeepsie for a
final and deciding trial at arms. If the
winner of New London refuses to meet
the winner Of Poughkeepsie or vice versa,

TAYLOR IN GOOD SHAPE.
Pennsylvania's Colored Athlete
Rounding Into Form.

PHILADELPHIA. April 14.-John s.
Taylor the University of Pennsylvania s
colored champion. is rapidly rounding into
shape. and will be in very close to record
breaking form for the intercollegiate
championships. and good enough to make
the best of them step some in the relay
races at Franklin field this month.
His rest, together with intelligent hand
ling by Mike Murphy, has effected COM
plete cure of the injury which threw him
out of training at the very height of the
indoor season. and his leg is now quite as
strong as 1t ever was.
With Taylor in trim again the United
States will send a string of quarter -milers
to England for the Olympic games at
Shepherds Bush in July that should cap
ture about every point in the event. Both
Taylor and Harry Hillman are sure to
make the team and when they get to-
gether the track will be pretty slow which
will not permit of close to record time.
They will meet in the tryouts here.

TO REFORM HOCKEY.
Rules Will Be Revised by an A. A.
U. Committee.

NEW YORK April 14.-Foot ball. in
comparison a real lady-like game has
borne the brunt of many attacks, while
hockey. as now played the most muir
derous pastime ever invented has gone
its way practically unnoticed except by
the reformers. Now its turn has been
reached and before another championship
game is played the rules will have been
SO thoroughly revised that a repetition of
recent disgraceful exhibitions will be i'm
possible.
Only recently few minor changes were
made in the rules, but it is quite evil
dent that nothing short of a general
housekeeping will do. The Amateur
Athletic Union will appoint "a committee
charged with this task. The regulations
at present are such that it is possible to
get away with almost anything short OF
murder. and the conditions under which
the game is played are calculated to hide
most of the foul work. At present one
official, the referee, is supposed TO handle
the ten or twelve players-manifestly an
impossibility. One of the most important
changes will be clause providing for the
addition of two assistants. All holds
dangerous to life or limb will be barred.

in reality test case. They claim that
Cans forfeit money was posted at II
