TIGERS GOOD CREWS
Have Featured Rowing Sea.
son for Last Two Years.
COLLEGE MEN IN TRY-0UTS
Must Appear at Harvard Stadium
to Be Eligible for 0lym-
pic Team.
BY EDWARD R. BUSHNELL.

About the most sensational feature OF
the intercollegiate athletic year to date
has been the performance Of Princeton
in the various regattas in which the IT,
gers have competed. For an institution
with practically no rowing prestige, and
which took up this sport merely as a
pastime, and with an amateur coach,
the Tigers have accomplished wonderful
things. In the triangular race with Co.
lumbia and Pennsylvania the Orange and
Black finished a good second to Column
bia A few days later the same crew
tried conclusions with Harvard and Cor
nell at Boston. Here the Tigers had to
acknowledge the supremacy of both Cor
nell and Harvard but it was not until
the last few strokes that the Crimson
was able to shake of the Orange and
Black crew. Expert rowing critics who
saw this race were a unit In declaring
that Princeton was beaten by Harvard
largely because the Tiger oarsmen were
not equipped for the rough water of the
Charles On Lake Carnegie it might
have been a different story.
In addition to these two crews Prince
ton has turned out two other Fights this
year which have brought distinction to
the Orange and Black. On the same day
that the first crew rowed Columbia and
Pennsylvania the freshman eight tried
conclusions with the Yale freshmen and
won in most decisive fashion. Not only
did the Tiger cubs have better lot Of
oarsmen. but they rowed a more finished
stroke and aroused the enthusiasm OF
the critics. At the American regatta
Princeton entered a crew in the race for
the junior Fights. This was the first time
that the Tigers had ever competed in
this regatta. and. although beaten by
Harvard and Columbia. they gave the
New Workers a fight for second place.
beating both Pennsylvania and Yale.
Before these regattaS the news reports
from New Haven were to the effect that
Yale's second crew was practically as
Princeton first crew Is better than Yale's
first eight. just as was demonstrated
a year ago. when Princeton finished
ahead Of Yale in the triangular regatta
with Cornell.

ri. d. Spaeth has accomplished won
derful things with Princeton's crew. In
two years he has developed a stroke
which compares favorably with that of
any of the big universities and has
aroused enough enthusiasm in the sport
to bring out big squad of candidates.

Says City Can't
Appeal To Cour1
Counsel for Connecticut Co.
Maintains That Railroad
Commissioners Decision
on Ten Foot Centers Is
Final-To File Briefs.

The suit Of the City of Bridgeport
against the Connecticut Co., which
concerns the question Of the ten foot
centers on the local trolley system,
came up in the Superior court this
morning before Judge Burpee. At
torney Spock, representing the Con-
necticut Co., said he would prefer to
have the legal questions decided be-
fore discussing the questions of>fact
and this was agreeable to all parties.
Attorney Spock expressed the opin-
lon that the Superior court had no
jurisdiction In the matter or the ten
foot centers. He declared the Rail-
road commissioners, from whose deci-
sion the city appealed, exercised an
administrative function and the Su-
perior court had no such right. He
maintained that when the commits.
sioners decided 1t was proper for the
company to have ten foot centers, the
city had no legal right to appeal. In
other words the Railroad commits
sioneru' decision was f1nel.
Ctr Attorney Pullman did no agree
with this but It was finally agreed to
file briefs with Judge Burpee on Fri
day and the court viii decide whether
the city has the right to appeal -

While the resolution was read the

profound silence.
Redmond then declared that the
home rule bill offered by the AS

cession and the most satisfactory
measure ever offered ireland.
"This BILL" he said, gives Ireland
