a d breaches in college athletics
vat least beginning to heal, and
s. possible that in the near future
fvsschedues of teams may be ar
~ tged in league program. so that
80 championships, even in football,
/ .ay be awarded on a substantial
basis. Harvard and Michigan are to
meet next fall on the gridiron, Hav-
erford and Swarthmore will probably
do likewise, and the Princeton and
Cornell crews will fight 1t out on
Navy day on Lake Cayuga.
The rupture between Haverford
g and Swarthmore has existed for a
decade. Recently. President Isaac
Sharpless, of Haverford. inaugurated
the movement to negotiate with
swarthmore for renewal of compe-
tition between the two colleges The
alumni committee on athletics gave
the movement its hearty support, and
as q result overtures were made to
r. Swarthmore The sanction of the
: SwRrthmore athletic board is all
= that is needed for the resumption
of the athletic arrangements The
two institutions had met for twenty
one years following the first game In
1888. In 1904 a misunderstanding
arose after football game.
Cornell hopes to make the rowing
race between Princeton and itself
triangular affair. and toward this
!. end the Ithacans have invited Yale TO
enter a crew. Friendly negotiations
are also going on between Harvard
and Cornell over the date for their
rowing race. Coach Wray of the
i Crimson narsmen favors May 16 as
? the date. The reason for the earli-
ness OF the date is explained by the
fact that the Harvard coach believes
that a two-mile brush with Cornell
later in the season retards greatly the
preparation for the four-mile cruel
with Yale.
81 "Old Man. Courtney, the Cornell
coach, dislikes the early date only
because of the lateness of the spring
ut Ithaca. 1t is often April before
the crews can get in the first spins
on the waters of Lake Cayuga Cor
nell however, has declined invitations
to play Harvard Ia baseball and
hockey. while the Ithacans have not
been listed on the Cambridge football
slate.
Pennsylvania wants to know how
Michigan expects to play Cornell,
itself and Harvard on succeeding
Saturdays. Each trip consists OF
Journeys from 500 to 800 miles. The
Ann Arbor undergraduates are also
wondering when they will have an
opportunity to witness their eleven
IN action.
81, Syracuse has come forth with the
sentiment that 1t is time for Cornell
and itself to resume friendly rela-
tions 1t is said that not one In
ten of the students at both institu-
tions knows about the ancient contro-
versv and that a similar proportion
of those who do know do not care
about it.
AT the eighth annual convention OF
the National Collegiate Association,
which convenes at New York today,
amateur athletics in all its phases
Will be discussed by representatives
OF more than 100 colleges from all
parts of the United States. A new
field of college athletics will be pro-
posed, that of swimming. 1t is pro-
posed to appoint a special committee
to draft rules of competition for
swimming and water polo. The as
ISOLATION will also discuss college
football. AS there have been some
fatalities this year II is not unlikely
that the association may make some
further changes in the game.
For the purpose of protecting its
members from the assaults of theo-
orists and for the further protection
of amateurism a score or more of pro-
fessional athletic trainers are in ses-
sion at New York this afternoon to
form an organization to be known as
the Professional Trainers Association
OF America. Among the trainers in
vited to attend are Johnny Mack of
Yale: Keene Fitzpatrick, of Prince

Jack Moakley, of Cornell; Bernie
Wefers. of columbia; Harry Hillman.

Institute of Technology team at the
Boston Arena last night. II is the
second time that the Tech has been
smothered by score of this size, and
on both occasions lack of team work
and poor goal tending were the causes.

other candidate for the great collie

Philadelphia and Boston. Syracuse
has been after the games for several
years. but Yale, Harvard, Penn,
