Financial Burden of Rowing Too
Great for University.
fBv Telegraph 10 The Tribune. J

Syracuse oct. 3o.-Startling to the stu
dent body tonight was the announcement
that Syracuse University had abolished
rowing. No such action was expected.
hence the surprise when the following
statement was issued tonight;
"The atheletic governing board of SYRIA
o,;sa University at its last meeting voted
10 eliminate intercollegiate rowing from the
list Of sports for the present college year.
Syracuse will not send crews 70 Pough-
keepsie or engage m any regattas with col
Icges. The services cf James 4. Ten Eyck
as coach will be retained, but no other
money will be spent except for the neces-
sary maintenance of the rowing plant
This action has been taken by the board
after discussion lasting nearly year
and has been necessitated by hnanclal
problem that has long vexed the athletic
authorities The board has been for many
Years burdened by n note given to cover
old deficits in the running expenses OF attn
lctfcs. Numerous efforts have been made
to reduce the amount of this obhSatlon
But the receipts from college sports, al
though largely increased in recent years.
have not been sufficient TO meet the neces-
stiles for enlargement of scope in the vari-
GUS branches of athletics and at the same
time take care of the note
For the last six years a budget has been
carefully prepared by the governing board
each year apportioning to each sport its
nroper share of the athletic revenues. and
in no year has the amount allotted been
exceeded and no addition TO the old debt
has been incurred in that period The
recent adoption of the one year rule by
Syracuse has added the burden'of support
ing freshman teams. and the general tend

DEVICE SHOWS WHY CAT
FALLS ON IT'S FEET
Tail OF Feline Is the Cause Saws
Scientist

scientist has constructed an in
genious model, says the London Globe,
to show why a cat in falling invari-
ably alights on its feet. This model.
roughly speaking, consists of a card
board cylinder wherein are stuck four
rods to serve for legs, together with a
tail devised on similar principle.
The object of the experiment is to
show that a feline's peculiar faculty
depends on the rotation of its tail with
sufficient vigor. This faculty is es-
pecially developed by climbing and
leaping animals, such as members of
the cat tribe, monkeys, squirrels rats
and most lemurs. AS already stated
the tail plays an important part in the
turning process.
According to the investigator. all
tree inhabiting monkeys have long
tails, and there is not the slightest
doubt that these tails are of great aid
to all climbers in enabling them to
turn in the air. The tail also serves
as balancer. as evidenced in the case
of squirrel, which may be seen walk
ing along a tightly stretched wire or
string, swinging its tail from side to
side, much after the manner of a
tightrope walker balancing himself
with a pole.

UNCLE SANS NEW WAY
OF PURCHASING COAL
Pays According to Heat Units
Contained in Fuel

The United States government is
making preparations for the extension
of the new manner of purchasing coal
which was put into partial operation
a short time ago with great success to
all the parties concerned. This is the
payment of the coal bill upon the basis
Of the actual heating value Of the coal
as determined by tests of samples made
by the geological survey. This gov
ernment spends about s7,000,000 annu-
ally for coal supplies for its vessels,
public works. buildings and works. At
the present time about a third of 1t is
bought on the new basis, which seems
to be as acceptable to the merchants
supplying the coal as to the govern
ment officials.
These analyses and tests show the
quality Of the coal in terms of fixed
carbon. volatile matter, sulphur, ash
and moisture, and especially it's heat
ing value in British thermal units, as
determined by calorimetric tests. I'm
til a few years ago it was the general
custom to buy coal solely upon the rep
utation Of the dealers and the district
from which the fuel was secured.
The new plan has not yet been ap-
piled 10 fuel purchased for the vessels
of the United States navy. but does
cover about 100000 tons of coal bought
for use on the isthmus of Panama and
about 100000 tons used on steamers
plying from New York to Colon.
