LOCATION OF COLLEGE
CHAMPIONSHIP IN DOUBT
Choice of One OF Three Fields VIII
BE Order of the Coming
Meeting.

BOSTON. Mass. Jan. 2i--A point of inn
portance yet to be decided by the Inter-
collegiate Athletic association will be the
annual decision regarding the location OF
the college track and field championships
next May.
At the meeting OF the association the lat
ter part of this month the choice Of one
OF three athletic fields win be in order.
The new Syracuse stadium has been put
forward as the first choice OF the execu-
tive committee Of the association. There is
no strong possibility OF it's being a GER
tainty. however. The majority OF the col
leges would undoubtedly prefer either the
Harvard stadium or Franklin field to the
Syracuse field for various reasons. and
as between a choice Of the Harvard stadium
and Franklin field, where the champion
ships we're held last year, the weight OF
preference is greatly with the former place
The Harvard athletic authorities are act
ing in an entirely disinterested manner in
the affair IL the choice should come to
the Harvard stadium. the local university
will assume the responsibility OF the cham
picnships with every degree of willingness.
So far. however. as making any attempt to
Influence the intercollegiate body is con-
cerned, the Harvard management will take
absolutely no steps.

DARKNESS FAVORS DISTANCE
Wireless Electric waves Travel
Farther at Might Than in
DAYTIME.

Wireless telegraph operators are very
sure that electric waves travel farther by
night than in the daytime. why should
this be so? George F. Works tells MS in
Modern eiectrics that many plausible theo-
ries have been advanced and that new ones
are constantly forthcoming, lie writes:
Ever since the days when coherer-de-
coherer systems were I'm vogue the higher
minds sought a solution to this question.
Probably the first one advanced and one
that has stil many believers is the one OF
violet ray absorption that the sun tends
to absorb the ultraviolet ray Of (the spark
generating1 wireless wave, and therefore
lessons its radiative qualities Electrician
w n flaming OF the United States navy
has advanced a very plausible theory in
comparing the earth 10 the armature OF a
motor. with the sun as a field. He says;
In the daytime sending a wireless wave
over the earth is like trying to send a
wireless wave between the armature and
pole piece OF an excited motor or gener-
ator At night he continues the earth
short-circuits the suns magnetic field and
We have a space somewhat less than half
the earth's surface where there would be
ideal conditions for wireless eommunica-
ton II this theory Is accurate II might
account for the fact that wireless waves
travel in a longitudinal direction far easier
than In a iatitudinal one, because Of the
lines OF magnetic force running in prac-
tically north and south direction. which is
a perfectly satisfactory reason for the phe-
nomenon. We might illustrate the actual
wave OF a station when it has reached its
limit By an oval Two stations OF the same
strength on the extreme edge OF each 9th
er's waves can be cOnversing II the sun
has not yet risen. but when It suddenly APP
pears above the horizon the communication
II immediately cut off. This has occurred
several times Now that wireless has been
reduced TO q commercial basis Il gives the
scientist an opportunity 70 inquire more
closely into the mysterious side. Before
long . theory viii probably be propounded
wherein will lay a practical solution OF the
mystery and satisfactory answer to the
question.

Basket Ball League
is Epoch in Sport
Will Give All Teams a Better Chance
in Arranging Games with
Other Colleges.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. H.-The for
nation OF the new intercollegiate basket
bail league. which enters upon its first
season this year. should mark a new epoch
in the history Of the sport r. b. Hyatt
OF yale, the president OF the league, has
the following to say OF the advantages to
be gained by the formation Of the league:
"In the earlier days Of basket ball, II
was possible for q good team to arrange
its schedule from year 20 year. so as 90 In
cIude games with every college possessing
a team of merit. But, as basket ball has
increased in popularity, many OF the
smaller colleges have developed teams that
are equal to many % the so-called big
teams To arrange a schedule so that all
the aspirants for championship honors can
meet each other in two games upon fair
courts has become an impossibility These
conditions have tended to keep basket ball
in a chaotic state; challenges and recrimin-
atoms have been flying about until the
public has become tired, and many games
where the feeling has been tense had bet
ter never have been played. The solution
OF the problem seems to be the formation
Of leagues to include teams naturally placed
in the same class by geographical location,
previous associations, and the numerical
strength Of the colleges they represent.
Schedules, except for the preliminary
games, should be confined TO league games.
THE new intercollegiate Basket Ball
league, composed OF Columbia, Cornell,
Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale, meets
all Of these requirements. The membership
is the same as that OF the old league, ex-
cept for the omission OF Harvard. It's
organization, however, has been perfected
and placed upon q sounder basis than be-
fore, The officers OF the league are gradu'
ates elected for term Of two years, 9
provision which insures a continuity Of
purpose, in the management, impossible
under undergraduate management changing
each year. Another feature which add
permanency to the organization is the DO

winning three championships,
The new league provides a medium fo
a most interesting competition, and de
serves loyal support"

TRIBUTE TO FIRST AMERICAN
weII--Spokcu words OF rraise for
the Nantshinn Indian
Race.

In an article in The Void To-day for
January telling Of Air. Rodman Wanna
makers suggestion for a monument to tho
vanishing Indian race, Beverley Buchanan
has the following TO say regarding the In
dians:
chief Joseph died a few years ago OF
homesickness. but many Of his sayings are
stnl remembered. Upon his surrender to
General Miles he said. "God made me an
Indian but not a reservation Indian. You
might as well expect the river to run back
ward rs that any man who was born free
should be content when penned up and
denied his liberty. Oh let me be free
mani Free to travel, free to stop. free to
work, free TO trade where l choose free
to choose my own teachers, free TO follow
the religion Of my fathers free to think,
talk and act for myself, and ! Will obey
every law or submit TO the penalty
Many another chieftain made equally
futile appeals against the overwhelming
tide OF civilization but gone are the hunt
fairgrounds and battle-fields gone the
viRwam and council fire. Where once the
red man claimed kingdom, farm houses
and villages. mills and factories dot the
landscape. where once upon the clear air
rang out the cries Of the war-dauce, or
mingled with the winds Of the forest
drifted weird and low the chant of the
braves now the laughter Of white children
at their play IN the school yard or the peal
OF bells calling men to worship the white
mans God, ring out across the morning
"A survival OF the fttest" the practical
man VIII say, and he may be right. From
the viewpoint OF close association with the
red man, his faults are apt TO be magnified
and his virtues forgotten, but when the
/ last member of the vanishing race shall
/ have folded his blanket about him and
passed beyond the great divide. we may
remember the Indian as he has ever been
brave. loyal self-sacrlflolng and honorable

coNvlcTS WHO MADE GOOD
Notable Instances Drawn from the
Pardon Record of New
York.

Two interesting things are shown by the
records on file with the pardon clerk at
the state capitol at Albany n. Y. One IS
that there are many men in the great
state OF New York going through life with
sinister pasts known neither 10 wives nor
children. The other is that men sent to
prison for penal offenses can live down
their evil ways and become successful and
respected citizens.
Most remarkable cases OF this kind came
to the attention OF the officers during the
closing days OF the administration of Gov
ernor Horace White. Names are not made
public. II has always been the custom to
shield from publicity such persons as
sought to have their citizenship restored,
on the theory that publication might do
them harm by branding them as conviots,
Scores of applications for restoration
were made to Governor-White, and quite
few OF them were granted. The most
remarkable came from a man who is now
a prominent railway man in the employ
Of the Pennsylvania railroad. lie earns a
salary Of $1,000 year and lives in fine
style with his family His petition to be
restored to the fun rights of citizenship
was Endorsed by a lawyer of prominence.
who declared that he and the petitioner
himself were the only living persons who
knew that the petitioner was at one time
burglar Of considerable reputation"
In the papers It was explained that the
man served term in prison for burglary,
but that after getting out he resolved to
brace up and be a man" He went to a
part OF the country where he was not
known and studied engineering. None of
his associates and no member of his
family knew anything concerning his dark
past. Like practically all others who seek
citizenship years after being deprived OF
It, this man grew tired Of making excuses
to his wife and children and friends foi
not voting.
Another case which attracted consdera'
BILE attention was that Of a Brooklyn bust
ness man who was sent to prison for rob
berry in 1872. He reformed, married. ant
now has a family of grown up children
His sons last fall expressed surprise wher
their father did not vote, and his explana
ton was but lame one. To the officials
here he said that he had always feare'
TO swear in his vote lest some one VIII,

EWING WAS HUMMER ON TEAM
LiheOIn Man Was a star for Corn
huskers.

Harry W. Ewing was assistant coach az
Nebraska under king Cole and is given
due credit for marshaling a strong fresh
man eleven. In the three years that Ewing
played on the varsity, he was placed al
guard each year on the Ar~MlssouH Valley
eleven. Once he was given mention as an
All-Western possibility. During his first
year on the team the Cornhuskers carried
all valley hOnors and again as assistant
coach, the team won the Missouri Valley
championship. Ewing is a product OF the
Lincoln High school and for two years
