Yale and City College Meet
to Show Strength of New
Material Test for
Water Polo Rules.

The opening Of the championship
tournament Of the Intercollegiate
Swimming Association, which will take
place on Friday with a dual meet be-
tween Yale and the City College Of
New York, is awaited with keen antici-
patton by followers of water sports, for
IL will afford the first opportunity TO
size up in the competition the strength
of the New Haven swimming and water
polo teams, favorites at the present for
the league titles.
Particularly anxious are students Of
form to see Yales new material In ac-
ton. Glowing reports have been heard
concerning the performances of Rose
ner the speedy Splinter from Andover;
Ferguson, the crack middle distance
man Of the Chicago Athletic Associa-
ton, and other recent recruits. Satur-
days meet should furnish a line on
their actual ability.
While the defeat Of the City College
team is a foregone conclusion, there
should be close competition in some of
the events, at least. City College has
fair sprinters, furlong swimmer of
championship calibre in Captain RE
mer, and good relay team. Only in
plunging and fancy diving is the team
too weak TO figure.
Entries are not made in advance for
the league meets, but a member Of the
Yale squad said Captain Summers
would probably use Hoadley, Schlaet,
Mari, Rosener, Ferguson, Gould, Mayer
and Mosle in the swimming races, Nc
Aleenan in fancy diving and Smith and
Keyes or Kent in the plunge for dis
lance.
The water polo match will be played
under the recently revised rules, and
several experts will be on hand 10 see
how they work out. The claim has
been made that the amendments are
destined to improve the game mate
rally, placing premium on speed and
skill rather than on weight and
strength, and so encouraging more
swimmers 10 take il up.
II this proves the case collegiate
water polo should soon have large
following. Last year at Princeton
alone nearly u hundred candidates re-

College Swimmers to
Open Season This Week

ported for the four teams which were
and the other league squads were not
far behind.
News of the departure of Duke Ka-
hanamoku and George Cunha, the noted
Hawaiian swimmers, on a trip to Aus
tralia has aroused great interest in
aquatic circles, for clash between the
South Sea Islander and William Barry,
the crack Sydney Splinter, who has
been threatening the worlds l00-yard
record, is now assured. The race prom
Uses to be one of the seasons best feat
ures. The two champions are matched
TO the second.
The work Of Cunhad may prove q
surprise 20 the Australian. He has
been showing remarkable speed at the
furlong and upward, of late, and his
rapid development promises TO soon
land him in the foremost rank of
middle distance swimmers.
Charles Basler, the veteran water
polo player, has been elected captain
of the swimming team Of the Pitts
burgh Athletic Association and is fast
recognizing his water forces. There
is no doubt now that the Mercury
Head club will have an unusually well
balanced squad. The addition of Ouer-
back, of Pennsylvania, and McLanahan,
Of Princeton, 20 the swimming contin-
gent should strengthen the team con-
siderably, and with the plunger, Hay,
the breaststroker, Maisack, the back
strokers, auckland and Basler. the
fancy divers, Lovejoy and Montgom-
cry, and the sprinters, Rebele, Young,
Morris, Mugele and others, In condi-
ton, the Pittsburgh organization will
line up likely candidates for every
regulation event.
Princeton will hold its annual inter
class swimming and water polo tour
nament within "A few days, and the
varsity teams will be picked at its
conclusion.
The outlook at Pennsylvania is i'm
proving. George Kistler, the coach,
has found promising material among
the freshmen, and several of last years
men who did not at first report are now
in training. Furthermore. Captain
Shyrock has bettered his times sensibly
al 100 and 800 yards, and he now
seems in line for championship honors,
so hope again blossoms In the hearts

Country Club of Atlantic City, accord

night.
For more than year McDermott has
not been enjoying the best Of health
and last winter came within an ace OF
nervous prostration. He took a long
rest, and for while this spring he
seemed to have recovered. After re-
turning from abroad he appeared to
have relapse, and although he has
been playing fairly well there was no
snap to his game.
About a week ago the erstwhile
champion left Atlantic City for q short
rest, and the first intimation that he
did not intend 20 return came in let
ter TO his assistants instructlng them
TO forward his golf stock to Philadel'
phia address. Although the club ON
Gals have not formally announced the
receipt of McDermott's resignation
they have instructed Clarence w. Hack

At the time of the fall tournament
at Atlantic City McDermott played sew
oral rood rounds, and he declared that
he soon would be able TO show all OF
his oldtime brilliance. Shortly after

But give it now instead.
And bring no wreaths to deck my
grave,
For ! shall never care,
Though all the flowers, ! loved so

Should bloom and wither there.

You would lavish on me dead,
For one small bunch of violets,
But give them now instead.
What saints we are when we are
gone
But what is the use to me,
For praises written on my tomb,
For other eyes to see.
One little simple word of praise,
BY lips we worship said,
Is worth a thousand epitaphs,
But say them now instead.
And faults that now seem hard
to bear
Will then oblivion win,
Our sins are all forgiven us,
When we no more can sin.
But any bitter thought of me,
Keep it for when Pm dead,
! shall not know. | shall not care
Forgive me now instead.

THE CELEBRATION.

| Although a committee Of gen
eral arrangements for the big
celebration planned for the 4th of
July has been appointed, as yet
no definite program has been de-
.ided upon as the finance commit
zee las not completed its work.
Liberal contributions have been
promised by several of our busi-
ness men, however, and sufficient
will be raised to make ii a sue
cess.
1t had been the intention to
have some three days ol racing
but the meet at John Day covers

sufficient number of horses at

forms of entertainment will be
provided. 1t was suggested that
an air ship be secure but on in
vestigation it is out of the ques-
ton to finance such an undertake
ing as we are to far inland to
bring a craft of that character.
Those who have been in the
habit of celebrating in this city in
the past and new friends may
rest assured Of suitable enter
tainment being provided for them
at any rate. Just how many
days the celebration will cover
has not been decided, this will be |
determined by the amount of
finances raised. The business
men of Burns should remt mber
that few liberal people and
willing workers cannot make a
4th of July celebration. 1t is as
much the affair of one as another
and all should take part and do
their share.

Presbyterian Assembly
Plans Church Federation

The Presbyterian General AS
sembly, composed of 800 delegates
from Presbytery in this and some
Foreign countries is in session in
the Second Presbyterian Church
of Chicago, building which cost
three-quarters of a million dollars.
Many important questions are
at issue in this Assembly such as
the reconstruction of the Board
of Home Missions, Pulpit Supply
and Christian Union. There is a
plan on foot proposing a fedora
ton of all Protestant denomina-
tons with an aim of having but
one Protestant church in town
of fifteen hundred people or less.
The Presbyterians contribute
two and a half millions of dollars
to Foreign Missions each year and
two million of dollars to Home
Missions each year. They are
raising a fund of $4,000, 600 in
order to provide a pension of
$500 a year for ministers who are
past seventy years of age and
have preached thirty years in the
church.
The Assembly will probably
meet next year in Seattle or San
Francisco.
