Much Trouble Not Anticipated in
Tennis Matches.

NEW YORK. April 6.-The question of
the preliminaries for the Davis irterna-
tional lawn tennis cup may be d dcd
easily after all. for II would not be a diff
cult matter for the United States Ma

the final round in THIS country. especially
II France should win from England in
the first match. BY the draw. England
and France meet I'm the first match, the
winner to dispute with America the right
to send a team to Australia. France Is
to be invited to meet England at VIM
beldon at a date near to that of tho
national championships. in which tho
French team will be entered, and that
would be finished in ample time for this
winners to come here to contend against

DESIRE TO RETAIN GAME. 3
College Men Do Not Want Water
Polo Abandoned.

NEW YORK, April 6.oCollege water
polo players are not in sympathy with the
proposed action of the Amateur Athletic
Union in abandoning the American game
in favor of English soccer" because OF
the regrettable ending of the champion
ship match between the New York A. c.
and Chicago A. A. They maintain that
the rules are quite equal to eliminating
rough tactics if properly enforced, and
they point proof to the clean battles
that have featured the race for intercol-
legiate honors during the last few sea-
sons,

AUSTRALIA SHOULD WIN
Swimming Events in the Olympic
Meet

NEW YORK, April Cecil Healy OF
the East Sydney Swimming Club, New
South Wales, acting the mouthpiece

that. although the Australian team Sc
lected to represent that country at the
Olympic games will be weak in some re-

sible to win the point trophy against all
other nations.

Basket Ball Rules Approved.
The basket ball rules committee OF the
National Collegiate Athletic Association
has come to the defense of the game as
now played in the college world The new
rules have been severely criticised In
this column because they tend to slow up
the game and are an open invitation to
roughness and the commission or fouls
At it's meeting last week the rules COM
mittee in discussing the many charges
made exonerated the new rules and lalo
the colleges themselves. singing out the
members of the eastern association Tor
especial criticism.
According to the findings Of the COM
mittee the rules are a failure only In SO
far as the colleges themselves openly
violate them. In particular they condemn
the practice so prevalent among the
eastern college teams of unfair holding
and blocking. What few changes the
committee decided to make were merely
to clear up certain points in the rules and
to make the game little faster.
In spite Of what the rules committee
saws the fact remains that the college
game is far rougher and less scientinc
than the professional game, which Is
spreading all over this country. and which
has been adopted by scores OF schools
Brown University has already been oblig-
ed to discontinue the game. Harvard
did the same several years ago. while
Yale is on the point of abandoning 1t. 1t
may be true as the committee contended
that the game as played In the mloo!e
west is satisfactory, but 1t certainly needs
serious attention in the east.
Yale's New Athletic Association.
Yale's athletic authorities have at last
come to the conclusion that for purposes
of better financing their athletics and
getting better returns from each sport
single association is absolutely necessary.
For that reason all Of the minor asso-
Citations which control the individual
sports have been merged into one. Here
tofore every sport at Yale was under
the control Of an individual association.
with the result that there was waste OF
energy and money.
Yale's movement is in line with similar
movements at all the other big universe
ties of the country, though the Ellis are
the last to organize q single association.
The University of Pennsylvania was the
first to place control of all sports in the
hands Of a single association, with diff
ferent committees for the Individual
sports. 1t is practically the same pro-
cedure which has been followed at Cor
nell, Harvard and Princeton.

1 will tell you a little story Of Uncle
"Ephraham." He lived alone in his cabin.
as many Of the old-time darlkies lived.
and his possum dog lived with him. One
evening Uncle Ephraham came home
from his labors and took his possum dog
into the woods. and soon caught a fine,
large. fat possum.
He brought him home and dressed him
and then he slipped into his masters gar
den and stole some fine large, fat sweet
potatoes. and he washed the potatoes and
split them and piled them in the oven
around the possum. He set the oven on
the red-hot Goals, and put the lid on
and covered II with red-hot Goals. and
then sat down In the corner and nodded
and breathed the sweet aroma OF the
baking possum and soliloquized thus:
Oats de fines job Nv bakin' p0ssunl

jis' lay down heah by i'm an take q nap
about eatn i'm. an den I'll git up an
eat i'm. an I'll git de good Nv dat pos

So he lay down on the floor and in q
moment he was sleeping as none but an
old time darby could sleep. as sweetly as
babe in its mothers arms.
Old Cy, another old darby In the neigh
borhood, happened to come proving
around. He poked his head in at Ephra-
hams door and took in the whole situa-
himself:
IT loves possum."
And he slipped In on his tiptoes. and
picked up the possum and ate him from
tip to tail. and piled the bones down by
sleeping "Ephraham." Then he reached
into the oven. got his hands covered with
possum grease and rubbed it on Ephra-
hams lips and cheeks and chin. Then

inches. This is one-half inch better than
the record established by M. F. Sweeney
in the International games between the
New York "A. c. and the London A. c. in
1885. The jump was officially measured
and has received the approval of the
president Of the Pacific Coast A. A. u,
