COLUMBIA FIVE WINS.
Beats Pennsylvania State an
Hard Game.

Columbia defeated the Pennsylvania State
basketball team last night after hard
fight by a score of 10 to 13. The game was
n nip-and-tuck affair from the outset. The
visitors completely bewildered the Column
bia players by their clever passing and
shooting. and it was not until near the
end of the half that the local team man
aged to overhaul the Quakers and gain a
slight advantage.
Both teams played a well directed game
in the second half, but Kiendl's splendid
work in shooting baskets gave the Colum-
bia five safe lead The contest was the
fastest that has been played at Columbia
this year. and only good handling by the
referee saved 1t firm becoming rough
AS IL was, two of the Pennsylvanians had
to have time taken out, Haddow, the CEN
tire, injuring his head by smashing into
an iron standard, and Herman wrenchIng
ali ankle Both men resumed play, but
Herman had TO give it up, and his place
was taken by Mcintyre.
Mahon played at centre for Columbia
and scored three baskets, although he was
outtumped by the Pennsylvania centre.

FOOTB ALL POLICY CP.
Ssceeping Changes May BE
Made at Princeton.
TBy Telegraph TO The Tribune

Princeton. n. J., Dec. 17.-Announcemehl
was made to-day that the joint meeuhe ot
the graduate committee on athletics an"
the faculty committee on outdoor Sports l"i
the purpose of discussing the footoah STU
alton at Princeton would take place To-
morrow. This meeting has been eagerly
looked forward to by all the undergradu-
ates here. for it is expected that questiohs
of great Importance will be decided
It is rumored that radical changes are TO
be made in the general policies or iootoa'l'
The "triumvirate" which had compete
control of the gridiron sport this season
will undoubtedly be done away with and
more of a one-man power be adopted Tor
next season. This plan Is strongly advised
by Howard Henry and by several other
graduates Of considerable influence.
Every indication points toward the selec-
ton of w. w. Roper, who coached the
eleven in 1906. 1907 and 1S0S as the man who
will have charge of affairs In the future,
not only of football but of all the major
sports. If the plan as proposed by Howard
Henry is carried out Roper will come to
Princeton to live and will act as an ath
letic adviser for all sports in the university.
Other business of Importance will be the
election Of a new member to the graduate
committee to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of c. c. Cuyler 70. 1t is also ru-
mored that the resignation of Tracey Har-
ris. 80. will be handed in at this meeting
In all probability Philip King and
BUNNY Booth will be chosen to fill these
vacancies
The graduate committee on athletics now
consists of the following men: w. II. Ed
wards. Howard Henry, Robert Garrett and
Tracey Harris.

Indianapolis, Dec. I7.-Racing against
freezing wind, Johnny Aitken, in a Ma
tional car, broke all worlds records for
distances of from one to twenty miles with
a machine of a certain piston displacement
at the Indianapolis motor speedway to-day
So severe was the cold that the lubrlcaung
oil on some of the racing machlnes iroze
and finally forced the contestants TO give
up racing for the day. 1t is probable that
no attempt will be made to run Off the
programme tomorrow because of the cold
weather

fixture against time. He covered the TWEEN
ty miles in 16 minutes 1S l-5 seconds. He
was timed at FIVE miles in minutes $50
seconds and at ten miles in minutes Il 10
seconds.
Walter Christie, with his freak" racer.
and Louis Strang, with 2o0-horsepoWer
Fiat, were unable TO lower records because
of the low temperature. Christie, however
rushed over a quarter of a mile in S4-5
seconds, thereby setting a new American
record for the distance This was at the
rate of 103 miles an hour.
Strang established a new record for the
Indianapolis motor speedway by driving
one mile in 10 3-5 seconds. The previous
record for the speedway was 43 S-5 seconds
established by Barney Odfeld last August
Strang declares that he can lower his
one-mile record of 81 As seconds, made at
Atlanta, on the newly paved Indianapolis
course, and he may attempt to do so to-
morrow.
Governor Thomas r. Marshall presided
at the ceremonies incident to the rededica-
ton of the speedway, laying a gold plated
