There is not apt to be much competi-
ton in the high school meet scheduled to
be held Saturday. AS far as the schools
are concerned there will be none. be-
cause the Central Is conceded the meet
by a wide margin. Whatever interest
attaches to the meet will come from the
individual performances and the personal
rivalry in the different events.
Central High will certainly get the meet.
Tech and Western are likely to be the
only two other schools represented, and
both together cannot muster strength
enough to keep Central from almost ire
bling the score. Both had their best men
at the NJ A. c., and even with other
schools scoring many points Central could
not be kept from running up forty-eight
points, more than three times as many
as were made by it's nearest competitor.
Central will get the majority OF the
first places and by far the greatest num-
Der of seconds and thirds. Blackstone
will win the hurdles and broad jump.
while Reuter- is likely to get first place in
both the 100 and go yard dashes, and 40

the $50, which leaves only the mile In
doubt. That event was done IN very

CLASSY CREW EVENT
Penn, Columbia and Princeton
to Row.
BIG TRIANGULAR RACE
Will Be Tigers Second Big Attempt
on Water-Penn's Poor
Showing.
BY EDWARD R. BUSHNELL.

For the first time in their intercollegiate
history Princeton, Columbia and the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania will meet in q
triangular regatta on Lake Carnegie next
Saturday. 1t will be the second big inter-
collegiate race of Princeton's recent row.
ing career. year ago the Tigers COM
peted in similar regatta, with Cornell
and Yale their other opponents.
Although neither Columbia nor Prince
ton at this writing has met an opposing
crew the New Workers are the favorite
for first place, with Princeton on even
terms with Pennsylvania. The Quakers
had their first try-out Of the year last
Saturday, when the varsity and fresh
man crews met the first and second
Fights of the Naval Academy. The re-
suit was a decided disappointment to
Pennsylvania men. for the Middies won
both races. The fight between the Quaker
freshmen and the Middies' second crew
the Navy defeated the Quaker varsity
by five lengths in two-mile race.
The result of that race has aroused the
feeling among Pennsylvania oarsmen and
followers Of the crew that this years
quaker eight Is 1af D6lOW the STANDARD
1t indicates also that the rowing situation
at Pennsylvania Is really serious affair.
1t is extremely doubtful IL Pennsylvania 8
athletic authorities will permit conditions
to continue as they are unless some radi-
cal imp rovement Is shown in the crew.
Pennsylvania has not won q victory at
Poughkeepsie since 1900. Discontinued
Pennsylvania graduates have at various
times sought to bring about some change
in the coaching policy Of the crews. but
always without avail.
Because of the poor work Of recent
crews and the disadvantages under
which the oarsmen train the interest in
rowing at the Quaker institution grows
less and less every year. Coach Ward
does not seem able to secure candidates
of the same high type that present them
selves for foot ball, base ball and track.
In addition it requires nearly four hours
of a students time to take part in the
daily crew practice. because of the mac
cessible location of the boathouse.
Columbia is considered the favorfte for
the triangular race because the New
York oarsmen have retained SO many OF
the veterans which enabled Columbia to
make her splendid showing at Pough-
keepsie last year. Furthermore Column
bia has done more Preparatory work
than either the Tigers or the Quakers.
There IL really no basis OF comparison
between Pennsylvania and Princeton.
Last year the Tigers and the Quakers
both met Yale. In a dual race Pennsyl-
vania easily defeated the Ellis, while In
the triangular race with Cornell. Prince

Jimmy Britt brought a new ver- sion of an old story back with him from London. According to Britt, he was standing at the desk of a London hotel, when an immaculate ly dressed anl deeply immersed gen. tleman approached. The last conner screwed a monocle in his eye with vast difficulty, and looked fxedly at the clerk. By and by he seemed to recognize that dignitary. "T," said he with some difficulty, "want to change my room. Bah love. I have room 312. Don't ye know?"
 The clerk bowed before him. "Very well, your lordship," said he. ''I find that room 314, next door to 312, is empty. Will that suit your highness?"
 ''Very-hic-well, indeed" said the monocled one, deliberately. q will-hic-go up at once." And then, to the amazement of the clerk and Mir. Britt, he placed his neatly sleeked head on the counter, and the monocle gushed off his eye on tor rent of tears. "Got to leave dear old room 312," he sobbed. ''Bes' old room in the house.

STILL ABLE TO CATCH RATS
Cat Seemingly Understood perogatory Remark and Proved FaIsity
 cf Charge.

Z A number of years ago a small, white kitten strayed into a provision store, so forlorn in appearance it es- rocially appealed to the sympathies Of those in charge, and moreover such good little thing, never jump ing onto the bench or anywhere else 1t ought not to be, they decided to keep it, Eight or nine years after ward, one night, about closing-up time, large rat came into view, but the cat did not pay any attention to 1t, or seem to care anything about it. The proprietor said, '"That cat is getting too old to catch rats; we shall have to get some traps and set around here." The next morning, when the store was opened, the body of big rat was discovered lying on the meat bench with its head toward the chopping block, place in which 1t could not but be seen, and on two or three mornings of that same week again the body of large rat was found in the same way, as if the cat said, "I can catch rats if I want to-" MT. l.. says no one could tell him after that that a cat didn't un- derstand what was said.-Our Four footed Friends.
