How about all those indoor meets
Just about time some one came out
in the open and announced their date
Every one is waiting for the other
guy. However. this year the CLUB
first in the field will probably be
secure in its date. President Eiilott
does not favor one club cutting In
on an early date once the other TEL
low has applied for a sanction. This
means that the club first to apply
for a date will be reasonably sure
that his meet will be the first one
held. and that is as II should be-

Percy Haughton, the successful
Harvard coach. is coach with
head. Eddie Mahan, the Harvard
nlaver. had a popularity of kicking
uaughton pointed ii out to him, but
found that the more he told him the
less effective was his kicking, even
though the form improved along
Haughton's ideas. After the Prince
ton game Haughton went to Manan
and said:
young man. henceforth kick the
hall your own way, and i am sure
we will turn the trick on Yale

A Stanford professor thinks a
! Rugby union is a necessity. A Cali
fornia professor fails to see the neces-
| sity. The majority of the Rugby
union members think the organiza
tion is a necessity and if 1t comes to
| a vote those in favor of the union
are likely to win out II the union
lists do win out--well. just draw your
own conclusions. Something the same
thing happened last year
| The Pacific association invites pub
lieitv and can never give newspaper
man enough dope. The Rugby union
shuns publicity
Result. the Pacific association has
a rock foundation, the Rugby union,
sand.

This wonderful eleven has already
shown its possibilities. So far this
season it has beaten Yale and Prince
ton with ease. Here we have COM
bined a strong rushing team, hard
blocking aggregation. a hard tackling
outfit and a wonderful array of drop
! kicking talent. There may be other
teams Just as good, but they haven'i
| shown 1t yet in the full box scores.
Ernest Barry. champion sculler OF

named William Albany. Albany has
nosted a stake of $1,000. but Cham
1 pion Barry SCOTS at this trifle and
| wants a bet of $4,000 at the least
! on the outcome OF the event. Al
bany. however, has the better of the
argument The rules governing
worlds title specify that when 9

side that the stake be $4,000. buf

stake. Albany has the whip hant
and intends to force Barry to the
match.

earliest, and there is a probability o
him not showing up then.
