Technical is not making any claims
for scholastic honors, but Captain
Thran in the dashes and Hurd in the

1t has not been definitely decided yet
whether Penn and Swarthmore relay
teams will go two miles or one. The
Quakers have no one-mile relay team,
but are willing to go this distance to
get a crack at Swarthmore. The last
named college hoped to send down a
bunch of two-milers, but their best
team is for one mile. No matter what
the distance, these colleges will race on
the night Of the meet.

HOPPE TO RETIRE
AS PROFESSIONAL
Champion Billiardist Will
Enter Business With
Father-in-LaW.

NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-Willie Hoppe,
the most marvellous biIliardist of gen.
erations. champion at the Isl and 49,
tirement from professional billiards He
will become a partner of his father
in-Iaw, Thomas W. Walsh, a wealthy
clothler.
Hoppe was married to Miss Alice
Walsh in Baltimore on December H.
1t was an elopement. He met Miss Walsh
by appointment at the home of one
of her friends and they ran of to Bal
timore and were married at the Cathe-
dral by the Rev. P. c. Gavan, chancel-
lor of the archdiocese.
Willie Hoppe has been playing bill
lizards since he was twelve years old
At that time his father, Frank Hoppe,
took him and his younger brother, Frank
Hoppe, jr., around the country giving
exhibitions. 1t was necessary for the
boys to stand on soap boxes in order
to see over the top of the tables and
make shots. Willie became known as
the boy wonder"
When still in his teens he went to
Paris and defeated Maurice Vignaux,
master of billiards. By this feat he
attracted international attention. On
his return to New York he was chaI-
lenged by George Slosson, known as
THE Student" He defeated Slosson de-
cisively in a match game in Madison
Square Garden before the largest crowd
that ever saw billiard match in this
country.
From that time Willie Hoppe has been
known as the greatest billiard PLAYER in
the world. He has defeated such ex-
perts as Harry Cline, of PHILADELPHIA:
George Sutton and Calvin Demarest, of
Chicago; Albert G. Cutler, of Boston.
and Ora Morningstar, OF this city.
Hoppe Is the only billiardist who ever
held the 18.1 and the 1872 billiard cham
pionships at the same time. On Noves-
Der % Of last year, in a match game in
Philadelphia with Joseph Mayer, the
amateur champion, Hoppe established a
high-run record Of 155 points at ISL
play The best previous record was
made by Hoppe four weeks before, when
he clicked off 151 points. In December
he again defeated George Slosson al
Madison Square Garden, and in this
match established a new worlds aver
age for 500-point match. His average
was SO 1-3.

GEORGETOWN PREPS
MISS TRACK MEN
Team Handicapped by
Loss of Last Years
Veterans.

The candidates for the Georgetown
Prep School track team are fast
rounding into form.
The Props have been working hard
for several weeks. since the early part
of this month. and under Coach Foley
they have begun to show splendid
form. The present good showing
which they are maxim gis due in no
small measure to the fact that they
are training in conjunction with the
collegians.
The Props are expecting to develop
one of the fastest interscholastic re-
lay teams in the South, and accord
ing to their admirers. this expectation
should be realized. Captain McLaugh-
lin and Sullivan are the only two
members of last years relay who are
on hand again this season. Both of
these are experienced men. and show
ed great prospects last season. Tai
bott, a new man in the school. is MAX
ing a strong showing and may be
selected as one of the relay team.
Childs is another youngster who is
showing good form together with un-
usual speed.
The relay team has been heavily
HduulCdppeu
eral of it's best men, Rodriguez, who
graduated into the college and is
now trying for the varsity. and John
Langmire. who was Obliged to leave
the school on account of illness. The
latter was the star all-round athlete
of the preps, and was one of the
mainstays of the relay four. Mac
Grath is another of the youngsters
who looks good to make strong
bid for position on the regular team
when the final selections are made.
Goldin, the star fullback of the foot
ball team. is training for the 100-yard
dash, and is making a fine showing.
The Prep track squad is under the
strictest training, and is going
the same stunts every day as
the members of the varsity. The
squad has now been cut down to
a bout fifteen men, but all of these are
evincinR great earnestness in their
work. If the candidates do the things
expected of them by Coach Foley,
they should have a successful season.
The relay team has been entered, as
Usual, in the Georgetown meet to run
against several Washington schools.

Harvard Plans to Honor
Members of Boat Crew

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Jan. 25.-Loth-
rop Withington's fine work on the
rowing machines at Harvard assures
him a place on the varsity eight-oar
crew again. The ex-football leader
was selected recently to act as first
marshal for the senior class day fes-
tivities next June.
At that time he will be in training
at Red Top with the oarsmen and un-
able to come to Cambridge to assume
his class day position. This ia an ex-
ira burden to Reginald C. Foster and
Herbert. Jacques. jr., second and third
marshals.
This state of affairs is called unfstr
and there is a movement on foot in
the class of 1912 to have an honorary
office or offices assigned for men who
have crew affiliations. Thus will tbe
university be able to honor its oars
men without overburdening the cIas
day committee.

was dined at a West Philadelphia man.

driven to the countryside where he is
to train, and finally went to bed tired

Now, Philadelphia sports simply re-
gard WolgaSt as a champion boxer.
Excuses and an injured arm have kept
him out of the ring the best part Of
year. He comes to the Quaker City to
make good. He was here twice before
he was champion and showed no class.
1t is now up to him to carry out his
boast that he is real, full-hedged title
holder.
Knockout Brown, Of New York, who
is to be his opponent, is genuine
lightweight, and it is to be expected
that Wolgast will not be allowed too

RACING DATES SET
Circuit to Open at Tasley,
Va, August 1, With Pro-
gram as of 1910.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 25.-The annual
meeting of the Maryland and Virginia
fairs and racing circuit was held
yesterday at Hotel Rennert.
Easton, Md, which controls Idlewild
course. was the one not satisfied.
Last year Easton was short on en-
tries, and its representative, w. B.
Nichols, wished to have the dates
changed. Such a move would break
the continuity and short and jnex-
pensive shipments in the race circuit,
1t was not approved. The dates for
racing were adopted. They are the
same as those of 1910.
The circuit has formerly started
with a meet at Tasley, Va. This
course had no representative present,
and 1t complicated matters to an ex-
tent.
Last Years Open Dates.
The circuit dates as decided upon
leave the ones used last year by
Tasley open. If the Virginia course
joins the association and uses the
dates all will be well at the opening
end of the circuit. If they do not,
then the meetings will start at POGO
moke, Md.
There is some doubt about the
Easton meeting. 1t was a loser last
year, and it will not be known
whether or not a meeting or fair will
be given there this season until the
board of directors meets and decides
the question.
The circuit meetings assignment Is
not obligatory. If the Eastern asso-
citation decides to hold its fair and
race meet on other dates 1t can do
so by resigning from the circuit No
rules of the National Trotting Asso-
citation conflict with such action.
Dates for the Circuit.
The dates assigned by the circuit
are:
Tasley, Va, August l to 4.
Pocomoke, Nd, August to IL.
Salisbury. Nd, August Is to Is.
Easton, Md, August % to 25.

ber /.

The officials for the circuit are:
President, Henry A. Brehm; vice
president, Duane H. Rice; secretary
treasurer, James c. L. Anderson.

citation present We're:

SYRACUSE IS LISTED
BY PENNSYLVANIA
New Date Gives Quaker
Warriors a Big Football
Date Next Fall.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25.-The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania football COM
mittee, at a meeting held yesterday
afternoon in the offices OF Chairman w.
Hobart Porter, decided to give the Syra-
cuse University eleven a date on the
Red and Blue schedule, and the Quak-
ers will, accordingly, meet the Orange
team on October 2S.
The most important item of the after
noon was the discussion of the one-year
collegiate rule, but no definite action
was taken on the matter. The idea is
that of DR.. Carl S. Williams and it is
to prepare athletic restrictions so that
they will fall in line with those Of the
Tigers and Harvard.
The committee discussed the head
coach for the season Of 1911 and it is al
most certain that Andy Smith will be
offered the position again, but the COM
mittee will not make public just what
stand it takes on the matter Of coaches
and the selection of Smith or any other
man.
The schedule arranged thus far fol-
lows:
September 23-Gettysburg, at Franklin

ANOTHER MAD DOG.
Tries to Bite Several People-Bites
Other Dogs and is Killed.


Palisade has again been visited by
a mad dog. Mr.. ]. F. Pencil was the
first to be visited by the animal on
March Mr.. Pencil was at work in
his garden when he suddenly felt
something bump into him. Turning
around he saw a white dog with vel
low spots, coming toward him. Mr..
Pencil happened to have on a pair of
heavy gloves, and as the dog came
close to him he struck him on the
head. Every time the animal came
within reach he would strike him with
his hand. At last the dog backed
away and Mr.. Pencil seized a rake
and soon drove the beast down Bluff
road
The dog soon returned and con-
tinued down Anderson avenue, where
he met one of the Metcalf dogs, bit
him, and continued on to Jeltrups,
where he bit Mr.. Jeltrup's fine Irish
terrier. Mr.. Ruckheims dog was the
next one attacked. Both of Mr.. Beck
mann's dogs were in their kennels
when the animal attacked them Rob
ert, the furnace man, was at Beck
MAINS at the time and hearing the
noise grabbed a broom and rushed
out, and succeeded in driving the dog
away He went into the house again
and a few seconds later the dogs were
fighting again. This time he picked
up baseball bat and struck the dog
on the head and stunned him. A few
seconds later the animal jumped up
and ran away
The sounds of a dog fight next
came from the direction of Darbys
house, where the dog is supposed to
have bitten the Darby dog. Mrs.
Frew's maid saw a dog jump at
little girl on the corner of Bluff road
and Abbott boulevard, and then run
away leaving the child crying. 1t was
later ascertained that the child was
Marie Melancon, and that the dog
had jumped against her but had not
bitten her
The maid notified Geo Frew, jr.,
who started out to get Bernard Bra
