1000 Entries for Penn's Relays.
That Pennsylvania s great relay carni-
val set this year for April 20 will once
more break all existing records is evident
from the way the entries have been pour
ing in. Already they have passed the
Loo mark, with assurance that they will
soon reach 1000 They include every i'm
portant college and university east of the
Mississippi river. with the probability that
there will be several from beyond that
point No other meet outside of the
Olympic games themselves ever brought
together so large or representative a
group of athletes.
Eastern athletes who have been in the
habit of taking most of the prizes are
considerably worried this year because
of the strength that has been shown by
the western universities. In at least two
of the three championship relays the
west will furnish strong conten6ers, and
with equal chances of success. In the
one mile relay the Universities of Chi
cago and Michigan. which were first and
second last year, will be stronger than
ever, and at this writing look to be
stronger than any teams now in the east.
In the four mile relay the battle will be
fought out between Pennsylvania and
Michigan, though Cornell thinks so we'll
of her distance runners that she il eX-
pected to enter them in this event also.
Yale is sure to be one of the contenders
for the two-nnile relay. with Dartmouth,
Pennsylvania and Princeton among the
other contenders II Pennsylvania CON
centrates her strength in the four-mile
relay, as she probably will. this means
that the Ellis will have the better of the
outlook.
Collegians for American Regatta.
From present indications there will
be better representation of college
crews at the annual regatta of the
American Rowing Association. May 20.
than ever before. For the junior col
1ege races assurances have been receiv-
ed that crews will come from Yale.
Harvard. Pennsylvania. Columbia and
possibly from Georgetown and Cornell
The removal of some of the eli2ibilit;.
restrictions for this race has enceur-
aged some Of the colleges. Heretofore
there has been an ironclad rule that no
oarsmen who had ever sat in a varsity
boat at Poughkeepsie New London
could compete in this race. The rule
has been now changed SO that any crcN
may useAt two such oarsmen provide
that they~are not members of varsity
boat at the time OF the regatta.
The stewards are most pleased -
have the promise OF Columbia to sent
over her junior eight. This will be the
first time that Columbia has ever nal
crew in this regatta. 1t is also the
expectation that Columbia will send
over her freshman crew to row against
the Harvard and Pennsylvania young
Sters.
The stewards have dropped the octo-
pede race because 1T failed to draw
enough entries. In its place they have
furn ished a race for club crews. Here
tofore the club OarSmen. who do not
start their training early do the
cOllegianS, have protested that so many
OF the college crews enter tie cluo
events and with their advantage III
training take most Of the prizes THIS
year this particular event will be re-
served exclusively for the club crews.
just as the Junior collegiate race is re-
served for the collegians.
Outdoor Swimming for Colleges.
No better evidence Of the extensive
interest which Is being taken in college
swimming could be had than in the
announcement that there will be an
outdoor championship meet for college
men held at Travers Island some time
in July There is vast difference be
tween indoor and outdoor competition,
and the fact that the collegians want to
continue their work during the sum-
mer months indicates that this sport Is
rapidly forging ahead at the colleges.
Princeton Foot Ball Captain Sound.
The announcement of the radical
changes in the foot ball rules was tol
lowed shortly by statement that Hart,
the Tiger foot ball captain, was Il
physically sound man. instead of suf-
fering from serious injuries due to foot
ball There have been SO many report,
that Hart was suffering from some
spinal injury that he submitted to
physical examination and has now been
pronounced entirely fit to play the
game This means that Hart will take
part in Princeton's spring practice, for
which all Tiger enthusiasts viii be 1e-
voutly thankful
