Quakers and Tigers Divide Honors.

For the first time In q good many years
Yale has had to relinquish the swimming
and water polo honors. Both OF these
championships were settled last week, the
swimming honors going to Pennsylvania
and the water polo honors to Princeton.
The victory of the Quakers was pretty
much of a surprise for it was thought at
the beginning of the season that both
Princeton and Yale were stronger than
Pennsylvania. The Red and Blue. how
men from among the new candidates and
by defeating Princeton in the final meet
of the season made the championship Sc
cure.
American college men should be much
interested in the report which comes
from England that Oxford and Cambridge
have moved forward the date of their
annual dual track meet from March to
June. This is being done apparently for
the express purpose of adding strength
to the English Olympic team. 1t is in
line with the movement being made by
the British Olympic committee to secure
for it's team the greatest possible
strength.
In this connection it should be remem-
bered that four years ago the Oxford
cally nothing to the English team, and
many English critics pointed to this as
one Of the principal reasons for the fail
ure Of England to hold its own against
the United States. Apparently the Eng
lish university men have been brought
to see the matter in the same light, for
not only have they changed the date OF
their annual games. but they have ar
ranged to start their training so that
they will be right on the top of their
just prior to the departure of the Eng
lish team for Sweden, and they should
be a powerful factor In the points which
the Britons will score at Stockholm.

Long Lease, Universal Port.

The inanciers interested in the plan to
make a great port Of st. Thomas In the
Danish West Indies are much elated over
the submission Of the scheme to parlta-
ment by the minister of finance. The
syndicate, which will be given the rights
TO the port for ninety-nine years, plans
the expenditure Of many miNiOns In an
effort to make st. Thomas q universal
port by the time Of the opening of the
Panama canal.
The prime mover of the plan is H. N
Andersen, general manager of the East
Asiatic Company. The rise OF this mag
nate has oeen almost American in char
acter- He began to make his own way
at the age of thirteen as a ships boy, and
at twenty he left his ship in Bangkok and
went into business He was SO successful
that he became an intimate friend and
adviser Of the late King Chulalongkorn,
who gave him and Admiral de Richelieu
of Denmark vast concessions In the for
ests of Siam and also granted concessions
Tor power stations and street car lines
In 1897 Andersen returned to Denmark
and founded the Danish East Asiatic
Company, which is now the most impor-
tant navigation and trading company Of
the country. Andersen became a close
friend of Prince Waldemar and his late
wife. the Princess Marie. who was noted
for her business acumen. Encouraged by
such influential backing, he established
enormous business concerns In all parts
of Europe and the orient, from mining
companies to banks.

Princeton's New Athletic Control.

In spite Of the wonderful success which
followed Princeton's athletics under the
regime Of William w. Roper as graduate
director Of athletics. the Princeton au-
thorities have decided upon quite rad
ical change in the government of their
athletics. They have permanently de-
cided not to appoint a successor to Mr.
Roper, but to SO remodel their athletic
government that there will be no neces-
sity for one individual to be In charge
The new system is to be very much like
that which existed at the University of
Pennsylvania for SO many years. The en-
tire athletic control Is to be vested in a
board of nine members, three OF whom
will represent the faculty, three the
alumni and three the undergraduates.
This board will provide five subcommit-
tees, one for each of the four major
sports and one for the minor sports.
have control Of it's particular sport, SUBJ
ject, OF course, to the approval of the
board. There will be individual coaches
and managers for each of these sports.
but no one individual will have complete
charge.
In view of the fact that Is was not until
Mr.. Roper took complete charge OF things
at Princeton that the Tigers Jumped to
the front In nearly all their athletic en-.
deavors, 1t was q matter of surprise that
the princeton authorities decided not to
continue that system. Apparently their
| reason for making the change was not
that they were dissatisfied with the one
man system, but that they feared they
could not always find the right man for
! the situation. and that under such CIR

Desires High Standards.

The Danish national government keeps
a jealous eye upon the quality of farm
exports. Recently Denmark was much
aroused on account of a complaint as to
the standard of butter sent to England.
The government ordered an immediate
examination. and assisted by the pride
of the farmers the authorities had little
difficulty in restoring the usual standard
in no country are cattle diseases bet
ter controlled than in Denmark. In any
case of foot and mouth disease the farm
is entirely closed until 1t can be thor
compensated for any loss by the govern
ment. In the present state Of public
opinion in the United States such q close
relationship between. the government and
the individual would perhaps be impos-
.sible. In Denmark this feeling is at the
bottom of the present agricultural pros
perity. The Danes make butter during
the winter. Through the scientific appli-
cation Of rotation Of crops the cattle
are as well fed in the winter as summer.
1t may be said that while eggs In Den
mark are well controlled and carefully
numbered, the system OF feeding fowls
is not as perfect as II is In some OF the
American states, but the quality ts stand
ardized and cold storage eggs are un-
known. The quality Of the butter Is the
best In the world.
Mr.. Egan added that the more he stud
led the agricultural problems in Dem
mark the more he was convinced that
nothing but concerted effort thoroughly
drilled among agriculturists could pro-
duce the remedy for the present shortage
in the food crop and induce constant
prosperity.

Pennsy Appoints Graduate Manager

The latest institution to appoint a
graduate manager of athletics is the
University of Pennsylvania. The board
Of directors of the Quaker athletic as
to this position, though his powers are
not as great as those possessed by the
graduate managers of some Of the other
big universities. Mr.. Perot is to act as
financial secretary for the board, but
with more powers than were possessed
by the men who filed this position until
about six years ago. when it was discon-
tinued.
The new position has been created at
the nkent request of the foot ball. COM
mittee, which felt that some decisive ac-
tion should be taken to remedy the pres
ent athletic financial deficit. Mr.. Perot
will act as financial manager for all OF
the teams, but the actual conduct of the
different sports VIII be in the hands OF
individual committees, as heretofore.
There was not a little surprise when the
board Of directors ratified the selection of
Andrew L. Smith as head coach of the
1912 foot ball team. Because of the al
most complete failure of the 1911 team
and the existence of certain defects in
the coaching system which it was thought
should be corrected Immediately there
was feeling that new man should be
placed in charge. At the end of the sea-
unfortunately for the Quakers, there was
no suitable man in sight for the position.
There was likewise an element which felt
that Smith was not entirely to blame for
the failures which marred the season and
that he should be given another chance.
There was practically no change made
in the personnel of the new advisory foot
ball committee. 1t will include DIR. Carl
Williams, DR.. ]. B. Carnett and DR.. Albert
Mulford. DR.. Williams. in particular,
will be invaluable to the success of the

taken to insure more active coaching

the last three or four years.

COPENHAGEN. February 2S 1912.
DIR. Maurice Egan, the United States
minister to Denmark, has been invited by
the Southern Commercial Society to make
a series of talks on Danish Agricultural
Cooperation and Conservation" before
the southern chambers of commerce of
the United States.
The position of Denmark as school
for the study of scientific agriculture is
becoming more important every year. and
DIR. Egan has made a close study of the
methods which have made Denmark a
leader in cooperative agriculture, espe-
cially the effect of the plap on the cost
of living. This feature Will be consid-
cred at length by the lecturer in America.
When questioned in regard to the invi-
tation to speak on this subject in the
United States, DR.. Egan declared that
such a request had been made. He said
that he believed that the success of the
Danish farmers was not only due to
their perfect cooperation. but also to the
fact that they received the hearty sup
port and sympathy of the national and
provincial governments.
States Power to Examine.

operative agricultural venture that the
state should have a certain power of
examination over the products sent to
market. In molding the opinion of the
farming population here the government
has the valuable aid of the Danish high
schools. They include both summer and
winter sessions for students of mature
years of both sexes. These schools, by
encouraging national and provincial pride,
are at the very root OF the feeling which
induces the Dane to make every sacrifice
to remain at home on his own land rather
than emigrate. The emigration which
takes place from some western states to
Canada would be regarded as very un.
patriotic by the Danish people. In the
southern United States what might be
called a provincial love OF ones own home
exists to a larger extent than elsewhere
in the country, and therefore the south
seems to be the place where modified
form OF the Danish system would meet
with the most encouragement.
