That the varsity race at Poughkeep-
sic will soon be rowed over a three
mile course seems to be the conclu-
sion warranted by the present agita-
tion at Cornell in favor of such a
change. While the Ithacans have but
one vote out Of three on the board OF
stewards, which controls the intercol-
legiate regatta, the influence Of Cor
nell, based on its rowing prestige,
would very probably be controlling
In a question of this kind That the
influence of Cornell will be strongly
In favor of reducing the four mile
course to a three-mile course is shown
by two different factors. First, Coach
Charles E. Courtney has for years ad-
vocated the shortening of the Pough-
keepsie course to three miles. He has
claimed that such a race would re-
quire less time for the development
of the crew and that II would slim
ulate any possibility of any of the
oarsmen neglecting their university
studies in favor of rowing, and that.
all things considered, 1t would furnish
| just as good test of supremacy as
the four mile race does.

MAC FARLAND SIGNS
BEAR CAT" TEAM
Mcnamara and Moran VIII Be
Partners in Local Six
Day Race.
CLARK A LIKELY STARTER

Reggie Mcnamara and Jimmy Mo
ran. the "bear-cat" team of the New
York six-day race, have been signed
to ride in TIE ten-hour, six-day
race. which will be staged in the
First Regiment Armory the week of
December ID. Manager Floyd Mac
Farland, of the Cycle Racing Asse-
citation. signed both riders yesterday.
They are the most aggressive pair
that has been teamed for many
day, and they are sure to make
things interesting.
Moran and Mcnamara evidently
feel that they stand a very good
chance Of winning the race, for they
did not hesitate In signing contracts.
Mcnamara wanted 10 ride with his
pal, Bob Spears, who IS anxious 10
get into the siH-day game. but the
team of Moran and Mcnamara be
came SO famous in one week in Mad
ison Square Garden that Manager
MacFarland would not stand for the
team being broken up.
Moran left for his home in Chelsea
today, and will train for the race on
the roads In the vicinity of Boston.
Mcnamara, who has been under the
care of "a physician as q result of
blood poisoning in his left arm, will
start training tomorrow. Both riders
are in good shape, and will not re-
quire much work to put them oa1
edge again.
Clark Wants To Ride.
Jackie Clark is anxious to ride the
Newark race, and he will probably
be a starter. Clark has discussed
the proposition with Manager Mac
Farland and the manager has prac-
tically given Clark his pick Of the
riders for partner, with two or
three exceptions. Clark wanted Nc
Namara, but MacFarland would not
listen to the Mcnamara Moran team
being broken up. There are other
good partners available, among
whom are Pete Drobach and Freddy
Hill On his showing in the last
hour of the New York race Drobach
should be considered a very strong
partner for any rider in any kind of
a race.

AVIATION As A BUSINESS.

last flights.

power OF $4,000. In 1912 the num-
Der was raised to l,+25, and this year
1000 have already been built.
Putting the average cost at $4,000
(which would be nearer the lowest
