Confers with Bogue, Asking That
the Ban on Syracuse Men
Be Lifted.

Murray S. Steadman, graduate manager
OF athletics at Syracuse University, came
down from Syracuse for the National
Collegiate Athletic Association meeting,
and incidentally conferred with Morton
G. Bogue, chairman Of the board Of stew
ards OF the intercollegiate Rowing Asso-
citation, as to the barring of forestry
students from the Syracuse crew.
According TO the rules OF the intercol-
legiate association, which is composed OF
Cornell Columbia and Pennsylvania, and
controls the intercollegiate regatta at
Poue hkeepsie, no student in law or other
professional graduate course is permitted
to row in the freshman crew of his col
lege although he is eligible to row In the
varsity eight after his freshman year.
1t is this rule which Steadman desires
to have altered in order 10 permit fresh
men in the Syracuse college of forestry
TO row in the Syracuse first year boats.

TORONTO PLAYS
WINNING HOCKEY
Defeats Ottawa Seven After a
Lively Match Replete with
Clever Shots.

Brilliant play marked the hockey VIC
tory OF Toronto University over Ottawa
University at the st. Nicholas Skating
Rink last night The Toronto seven won
the game by goals to e. the first period
ending at to 1. in favor Of the victorious
seven. The victory gave the Toronto
team the right to play Princeton Uni
versity at the st. Nicholas Rink on Mon
day night. Judging by the work of the
men from Canada last night. they should
have no great difficulty in defeating the
Tigers.
The game was a wonderful improve
ment over the contest on Tuesday night
when Ottawa defeated Queens. Toronto
had an excellent team that thoroughly
evening was Hugh Arid. who played left
wing for the Toronto seven. He was one
OF the best players seen in the st. Mich
olas Rink in years. Arid had wonderful
speed, a good shot. and used plenty OF
head work throughout Laird at goal
also put up a pretty game and turned
aside many difficult shots. Denison. at
cover point, was the best player on the
Ottawa team.
Both teams took to the ice in excellent
shape and played fast hockey from the
hi A. IL
and the first tally was shot by Arid. after
a pretty individual run. in 4 minutes and
IS seconds. He also was responsible for
the second goal scored by Toronto. max
ing the point on a long shot from wing
in 10 minutes and 9 seconds. ottawa
was completely outplayed. However. the
defeated seven kept hard at work and
Heney scored three minutes later during
a scrimmage.
The third point scored by Toronto was
the result of a shot from face-on after
an offsde play. The tally was made by
Jupp. The next point was the result Cf
remarkably clever work on the part OF
Arid. After making a long shot. which
was stopped by the Ottawa goal. Arid
dashed In on the cage and knocked the
puck into the net before the goal keeper
could clear II away. II was the final score
Of the period.
The second half started faster than the
first period. After ten minutes OF play
Jupp made a pretty run, and then. pass
ing 10 Sinclair allowed the latter TO score
the last tally for Toronto. Duford, on an
individual run. during which he lodged
more than half OF the winning team,
scored the last tally Of the game. II was
made after IS minutes and 10 seconds Of
play.

Other Forestry Students
Epade Rules, Says Steadman

He showed Mr.. Bogue a sheaf OF papers
concerning the entrance requirements to
the school of forestry at Cornell, the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and the University
of Washington, and pointed out that at
both Cornell and Wisconsin the school OF
forestry in the first year was part OF the
school of agriculture, and the students
who intended to take forestry registered
for agriculture in their. first year, and
thereby evaded consciously or uncon-
sciously the ruling of the intercollegiate
association.
This was evidently an unfair discrim-
ination against Syracuse, Steadman main
tanned because at Syracuse the man who
takes up forestry has TO register for that
course from the beginning.
The question will come up at the next
meeting of the board of stewards, which
is to be held during the coming month,
and It is probable that, in the light Of the
material which Steadman collected, the
ruling will be changed so that the SYRIA
cuse freshmen in forestry will be able to
row. AS it is there is no discrimination
against forestry students in the varsity
squad.

The four times holder Of the title. met
his brother. Arthur S. Cragln. in the

battle across the net defeated him at
12--10. Go.
Since the beginning of the tournaments
at the Eth Regiment, the stirring matches
in which the Cragin brothers strive
against each other have always provided
lively sport. The victory OF Bill
Cragin added another interesting chapter
TO the family history yesterday. He be-
gan the service, and II was only a short
time before Arthur Crasin had forged
TO a lead of az on games. The power
full driving OF Arthur Cragin off his
forehand and his cleverness at killing
with certainty every bail that his elder

with all the skill at his command in
order to hold the score from being a
