UNIT RI SHATTERED,
But BIG FIGHT AHEAD

tnat n the Clark men try this there
VIII bring about their heads a storm
that will destroy their candidate.
ACTION AGAINST UNIT RULE.
While the delegates we're discuss
ing candidates and getting ready for
the session today. the party leaders
we're analyzing the vote taken Just
before adjournment last night on the
abrogation of the unit rule The fact
that 565 1-2 delegates voted for this
rule considered significant While
Woodrow Wilson gained the votes by
this action and Judson Harmon, in
the opinion of leaders was eliminat-
ed as a serious presidential possibility
the real gamers were the Demo-
Gratis of the west who advocate di-
rect primaries.
The convention has now established
a rule that no state convention can
interfere with the congressional dis
trict delegates elected and instruct
ed by districts instead of the state
at large Incidentally IL was noted
that large number OF delegates
who voted against Bryan on the tenn
porary Craftsmanship and who have
felt the force of the Nebraskan's s
prophecy that they would hear from
home,' took advantage last night of
the chance to vote to split the Har-
mon strength In Ohio
Others are looking for a chance to
come through on the proposition
whereby they can more directly show
that they did not intend any harm
when the voted with the allies
against Bryan for the temporary
chairmanship.
The ten Wilson delegates from
South Dakota. who were unseated
late Wednesday by the credentials
committee and their places given TO
Clark men, we're prepared to fight the
contest out on the floor r. S. John
son. national committeeman and
Democratic nominee for governor,
was backing the claims of the VIII

RACE FOR SWIMMING TITLE
Yale and Princeton Chief Con-
tenders for First Honors.

The defeat Of the City College swimming
team by Yale has narrowed down the race
for intercollegiate swimming honors to
three teams-those of Yale. Princeton and
Pennsylvania.
There is a chance that the City College
will beat Pennsylvania. but the probabii-
ties are against II, considering the fact that
the Quakers beat Columbia by the wide
margin of AZ points to II, while the City
College Columbia score was 30la 10 22ls
Everything points at present to Yale and
Princeton fighting it out for the team title.
The final battle should be close and inter

and 200 yard swims and in the relay race,
so II is hardly likely that the team viii De

The loss of Captain Howe, holder of the
20 and 100 yard championships gave rise to
the belief that the Blues forces We're hope
lessly crippled, but the recent perform
ances of Mayer at the shorter distance and
Schmitt at the longer make 1t evident that
Yale Is still in the running.
In water polo the teams hold the same
positions as in swimming. and although
Princeton defeated Cornell by a far larger
score than did Yale. the fact is not indica-

mastery with the cue and ivory balls, nut
