FOR REGATTAS
ANNUAL COLLEGE RACES TO
BE HELD EARLIER

ABOUT MIDDLE OF JUNE
Gossip That Pacific Coast May Send

ing Honors Not Taken
Seriously
Especial to The Herald ]


NEW YORK, Jan. Judging from
the announcements from the rowing
camps of the leading eastern colleges,
the annual regattas will be rowed
earlier than usual next spring. While
Yale and Harvard have not as yet
decided upon the exact date for their
regatta on the Thames at New London,
it appears certain that the event will
be held at least a week or ten days
before July 1, which was the date of
the races last season. While there is
no connection between the two bodies,
a similar action has been taken by
the stewards of the Intercollegiate
Rowing association and date fixed
for the annual boat races on the Hud-
son river at Poughkeepsie.
According to a statement by one in
authority in the association, the inter
collegiate regatta will be held Wednes-
day, June %, over the regular four-mile
course from Krum Elbow to the finish
line off oaks, a mile below the railroad
bridge. The program for the regatta
will not vary from those of past years.
and will consist of three events, as has
been the case for some years. The re-
gatta will open with the usual two
mile race for varsity fours, to be fol-
lowed by the race for freshman eights
over a similar distance. The big race
of the day will be- of course, the four
mile event for varsity eights, and all
three races will be rOwed downstream.
1t is not expected that there will be
much variation in the hours set for
starting the races. The varsity four
contest will be started in all proba-
blity about 3 o'clock in the after
noon, with the freshman race forty
five minutes later. The varsity four
mile struggle will be set in motion
about p. m. unless weather condi-
tions should necessitate a postpone
ment. According to the latest tide ta-
bles it will be high tide at Poughkeep-
sic on June % at 11:30 a. m. and 7:51
p. m. This will cause the big event to
be rowed at slack tide if the usual
hour for the big event is adhered to-.
Under these conditions the first two
contests will have the advantage of
an outrunning tide; but the tide will
be just about at the turn when the
big race gets under way.
At the present time there is no indi-
cation that the field in the regatta
will be any different from that of this
year Cornell, Syracuse, Columbia,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin will be
represented and there is a possibility
that Georgetown will return to the
scene of the big regatta. The United
States Naval academy will not send a
crew to the races and there appears
to be no chance that any OF the faI
western colleges will have an eight in
the big race, despite the gossip from
time to time to the effect that the Uni
versity of washington may send an
eight from Seattle for a try at eastern
rowing honors.

CUE ARTISTS In
HARMONY AGAIN
PATCH UP DIFFERENCES FOR
NEW YEAR
RooMKEEPERs TAKE HAND IN
SETTLING oUARRELs
Boom in Billiards Comes as Direct Re-
suit of Conferences Between
Players and Their
Retainers
tsnecin1 to The Herald.1

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Events of the
last week or so have proved that the
Roomkeepers' association of New
York is not merely a social organiza-
tion, but 8 powerful factor in the bill
lard world. Less than a half dozen
men vltally interested in the game
have accomplished something that a
year of wrangling between star play
ers and the Brunswick-Balke-Co Collen-
der company utterly failed to do. They
effected a more amicable relationship
between the players and those who
paw their retainers and struck a pop
ular chord by the new arrangements
that permits the lengthening Of cham
pionship matches from 500 points to
1900.
The return Of Willie Hoppe and Ora
Morningstar to organized" billiards
was brought about by the roomkepers
who also promoted the tournament
that made Calvin Demarest a cham
pion. Under the new system, the ex-
perts move from one to another Civ
ing exhibitions, and thus a patron of
any one room sees them all in a
season.
Eddie Graney, the San Francisco
sporting man, was the first to ne
gotiate with representatives of the
duarreling factions. He wanted to take
Hoppe and Morningstar out to the Pa
cific coast, but found that they would
not play under certain conditions.
Graney called on Hoppe, and he talked
to persons on the other side.
Jack Doyle, who was elected chalr.
man of the tournament committee OF
the Roomkeepers' association, then set
to work to heal the breach. He sue
ceeded infringing the interested par
ties together for a conference. 1t was
he who induced President Benslnger
to come on from Chicago. Bensinger
and Treasurer Al Troescher dined with
Hoppe and Morningstar one night and
a truce was patched up.
1t is understood that Hoppe ana
Morningstar are guaranteed an in
come of not less than $500 a year, and
that their special matches and theat-
rical engagements will considerably in
crease this sum. Hereafter, in cham
nionship matches, the title holder will
have the privilege of deciding whether
the title shall depend on a game of
500 or one of 1900 points. Practically
all of the noted experts have declared
in favor of the longer game.
Hoppe and Morningstar probably
will play their special match this
month in Plttsburg.

Stage High Glass Shows for
Benefit of Local
Fans

All is in readiness for the wrestling
card which will be staged Tuesday
night at McCarey's Maud Junction
Dayilion. Everyone of the six mat
artists who will participate is training
daily for the event which promises TO
place this sport on firm basis In Los
Angeles. y
Promoter Orendorff to Fikutas training
quarters yesterday and all marveled at
the work of the little brown man, All
though weighing only 1855 pounds ne
handles all opponents with ease and is
very fast on his feet. Il believe ne
could defeat Gotch himself at TINS style
OF wrestling" said Orendorff enthuslas-
tically, after watching the Japanese
work out
The only third degreeEiiu jitsu wrest-
Ter in the United States, Ryo Fikuta, Is
taking no chances of having the title
wrested from him. But at the camp
of Young johnson similar confidence
prevails. Johnson is, without question,
larger, heavier and stronger than his
opponent, but these advantages alone
probably would avail him little. john
son, however, is probably as well versed
in the Japanese art as any white Wrest-
Ter in the country and has attended
many jiu jitsu matches between eA-
pert Japanese wrestlers.
The final events of the evening, the
match between Jack Lee and Eugene
Traveller, also is causing much specu-
lation among Los Angeles fans The
rivalry between these wrestlers is of
long standing and will be decided once
and for all Tuesday night. The men
meet at catch-as-catch-can, and both
are confident of victory. Traveller, one
of the best catch-as-catch-ca wrest-
lers on the coast, holds a decision over
Lee, which he earned only after an
hours work. Lee, however, states that
he is in better condition and is much
stronger than he ever was before, and
says that he will throw Traveller
twice within an hour.
The opening event, which will be
another jiu jitsu bout between two of
the best Japanese wrestlers in Los An
geles. should prove one of the hardest
fought of the evening. The boys, Sagi
and Tani, have never met before, and
each has quite a local reputation Two
out of three falls will decide this, as
the other events.
Should Orendorff be given first class
support Tuesday nights card will be
but the beginning of a series of matches
between the best wrestlers of the world.
Already many have expressed a desire
to come to Los Angeles, and every
thing possible will be done to bring this
about. In view of the reservations al
ready made and the low prices sched-
ued a full house is looked for.

BOXING MAY BECOME SPORT
OF STUDENTS
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR AT coLUM.
BIA is STRONG SUPPORTER
Expects to See Day When Educational
Institutions Willdnclude It on
List of Recognized
Sports
[sneelal to The HeraId. ]

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.--Prof. Joe
Murray instructor of boxing at Colum-
bia university, is making a big effort
to stretch the spirits of rivalry in the
college world so that the manly art of
self-defense will be included on the
list of athletic contests along with
football, baseball, rowing, fencing and
wrestling. Murrays first step III this
direction is the holding of annual
tournaments among the Columbia pu-
pills. The first one, held last spring,
was so successful that arrangements
for another are now under way.
Murray says he has about twenty
likely pupils who have shown such pro-
ficiency at the nit game that he would
be willing to stack them against any
twenty men of the other big institu-
tions of Tearing, and feels confident
that they would win the tournament.
Murray has everything from light
weights to heavyWeights. Among his
best pupils are Jack Ryan, the heavy
weight basketball player, and Buck
Robinson and Count De Grasse, who
might be classed as middleweights.
Murray's idea is to get up big in
tercollegiate tournament, with entries
from Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Penn
sylvania, Cornell and Columbia. The
btAl1S S5cilliG ID dlItcllg 4lOuAiSAlhS ct
Cornell, he says, where Larry Connolly,
the Boston boxer, is the instructor.
Glasses could be gathered at the other
universities and a competent instruc-
tor could pick out the best men after
series of tryouts. A scale of weights
could then be agreed on and the pupils
classified accordingly at an agreeable
time to all concerned.
Dates could be fixed for a tourna-
ment and the events conducted on
much the same way as are the annual
A. A. U. boxing championships. Muir
ray believes such a tournament would
be interesting to all the college world,
and the spirit of rivalry would be in
tense.
The professor has had world of ex-
perience as an instructor of boxing he
has boxed and trained some of the big
gest men of the ring during the last
three years. including Jeffries Johnson,
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Joe Choyn-
ski Tom Sharkey, Kid Mccoy, Gus
Rubin and the rest of them. He also
introduced boxing in the Y M. Z. A.
and has taught the rudiments OF the
game to many millionaire.

MOST IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTION IN TEXAS"

In its leading editorial yesterday
the Houston Chronicle discussed agri-
cultural progress. needs and condi-
tons in general, and in particular
with reference TO Texas. The appli-
cation Of the views presented is made
In this extract:
The agricultural colleges estab-
lished in every state have had much
TO do with the good work of improved
methods and increased results and re-
newed interest in agriculture. They
have proved false the prediction of
mossbacked pessimists that they
would turn out paper farmers, for, on
the contrary, they have educated
many men who are proficient in
teaching the very best methods of
increasing production, just as they
have turned out thoroughly qualified
mechanics and engineers.
Texas is especially interested in
helping any movement which looks to
putting more intelligent workers be
hind plows and in fields. She consti-
tutes the greatest agricultural realm
on all the earth, and every bushel to
the acre added 10 her production Of
corn or wheat, and every pound more
of cotton raised by improved methods
Of farming, means not only much to
her people but much 10 the millions
OF humanity beyond the seas who look
TO her for food and raiment.
This is no theory or fancy sketch.
but il is a manifest truth, and it be-
hooyes every legislator to give
thought TO the subject and give heed

trustees OF the Agricultural and Me
chanical College when they ask for
