CURTAIL HARVARD SPORTS.
President and Faculty Accord In De-
string Fewer Contests.

Cambridge, Jan 1S-The Harvard
faculty have put themselves on record
in favor of greatly curtailing the num-
Der of intercollegiate contests. This
announcement came out in the Harvard
University Gazette the official college
organ. which appeared to-day.
It seems that at a recent meeting of
the faculty they discussed this ques-
tion of intercollegiate contests and de-
termined to send a statement of their
point Of view TO President Eliot, the
fellows of the college. the athletic com
mittee, and to each college represented
in the New England Association Of
Colleges. Accordingly they sent out
the following vote:
Resolved, That in the opinion of the
faculty the number Of intercollegiate
contests should be greatly reduced
Although President Eliot's annual
report has not yet appeared. it is gem
orally understood that it deals at some
length with the abOlishing of the
greater part of the intercollegiate con-
tests. Il is understood that President
Eliot favors restricting the number of
games to two in each branch of sport

BUILD TRACK IN MEXICO.
Capitalists Cooperating in Building
New Course for Racing.

San Francisco. Jan. 1S.-No sooner do
rumors gain ground in one section OF
the country that the sport of kings is
in danger than DO stories emanate in
other sections that give hope to the
cheaper class of trainers and owners. The
latter set that hold forth al Los Angeles
and at Oakland and who gather from
such points as Seattle. Butte. Denver.
Dallas, and others bush-meeting points.
are enthusiastic over proposed meeting
that if its arrangements so, will be held
in the City of Mexico.
II is said that capitalists Of the Mexican
city are enthusiastic over the idea. and
that already it has made a lot of head
way. Not alone this. but the capital that
is intended to be behind the project will
be furnished fully by the Mexieans them
selves. and that the racing will be entire
ly for sport, and with no intention Of
making a proft In fact. it seems to be
the idea to place racing In Mexico on 4
plane equal 10 that 10 be found here or
in England or France
Judging by what some Of the owners
and trainers have heard concerning the
proposed course. il is the intention to
make it an up-tO-date plant which would
cost in the neighborhood OF a quarter OF
million dollars and that the officials
would depend on the American hoTsemen
and jockeys for support

Airy quarters on the top floor Of
University Hall have been provided for

This innovation seems likely to be
generally adopted all over the country.
1t was Of the greatest help TO the crew
last year. the men attained fairly
good form through its use long before
they went on the river for the first
practice spin.
The daily routine is half an hour at
the rowing machine, followed by a
short run out of doors. A schedule
has been prepared to give all the can
didates a fair trial under Rice's watch

dons the sliding seats, another is ready

The racing schedule has not been

SMOKER FOR COACH VAIL
Georgetown Men to Meet New Crew
Mentor at Boathouse.
Rowing Association Host at Gather
Undergraduates and Alumni.

A smoker in honor OF Harry Vail. the
new crew coach, will be held at the
Georgetown boathouse above Aqueduct
Bridge this afternoon under the auspices
Of the university rowing association.
Although Vail has been in charge OF
several crews that have competed on
the Potomac. he knows a comparatively
few Georgetown men, and the idea OF
the smoker to-day is 10 have him meet
all of the prospective crew candidates,
as well as alumni, particularly graduates
who have rowed in past years. In this
way il is hoped 10 arouse an unwonted
interest in rowing and give the new men
tor every advantage possible.
Coach Vail arrived here a few days
ago and has been putting in his spare
time repairing the rowing machines in
the Ryan gymnasium so as TO have every
thing in readiness when the oarsmen re-
port for their first practice tomorrow
Capt Fitzgerald is well satisfied with
the outlook for a good crew. There is
q nucleus Of FIVE members Of last yearss
eight, but every effort is being made by
the management TO enlist men in different
departments Of the university.

Cincinnati Shaping Up for Annual A.
b. c. Tournament.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 1S.-Secretarv
Langtry, Of the A. B. c.. sent word to
Mr.. Hermann yesterday that he would
positively be on hand on next Monday.
The work at the armony, where the
tourney will be rolled, is going along at
q fast clip, and by next week one will be
able to form a pretty good opinion of
what the affair Will look like. There will
be little or no interior decorations. In
stead Of much bunting there will be
thout IDS of electric lights artistically
arranged. An s...-5ense electric sign will
ornament the front Of the building
Chairman Herman bases all his calcu-
lations on 300 fve-men teams, which
would mean about 70O doubles and 1900
individuals. This is about Secretary
Langtry's view Of It, but in his estimate
he did not credit the East with team.
A great deal, Of course, depends on what
Ohio and the local bowlers will do. It
has been figured that lao teams ought to
be IN from the Buckeye State. As to how
many Cincinnati and vicinity will put in
is an open question. Seventy looks like
a big number, but there have been all
sorts Of bets made that II will be closer

ber reaches seventy-five

The Georgetown basketball team de-
cisively defeated the Fordham quint in
forty minutes Of fast play at Convention
Hall last night by o to H.
While the Blue and Gray won by a
comfortable margin, the game. owing TO
the flashes of brilliant playing by the
New Workers. was never safely tucked
away, and IL was this uncertainty that
made the contest so interesting.
Neither side displayed any consistent
form at tossing goals. but in covering
their opponents the Georgetown players
clearly showed the result of the efforts
of Prof Joyce's coaching.
Ten Fouls on Visitors.
The West End team obeyed the rules
Of the game with more consistency than
the Fordham players only two fouls
being called on them, as against ten for
the visitors. Crogan took advantage of
five of the opportunities afforded him for
making points while Fitzpatrick basketed
the ball on both occasions.
Georgetown won the toss, and chose the
south goal Crogan was the first player
TO obtain a basket, and then Casey fouled,
Crogan. however. missing the basket G..
Collifiower threw 2 goal and then fouled
Fitzpatrick. who threw the first point for
the visitors. The first half ended with
the score II 10 3 IN Georgetown favor.
In the second half the visitors braced
somewhat but could not prevent the To-
cal eollegians from increasing their total
fourteen points.
For Georgetown. Crogan and George
Collihower did we'll, ably assisted by Fred
Rice, who, though he only threw one
goal, was the means or the other players
getting theirs by his excellent dribbling
and passing. For FoTdham, Fitzpatrick,
Mahoney. and Casey played fast games.
