CAMBRIDGE CREW
WILL NOT MEET
OXFORD IN 1915
War Prevents Event Which
Has Been Held Annually
Since 1856-Other Com
petitions Are Called Off.

Owing to the fact that so many stu
dents have Joined the army there will
be no intervarsity contests between OK
ford and Cambridge this year or next
unless the war comes to a conclusion
much sooner than Is expected. Two-thirds
of the usual number of men in residence
have Joined the forces in some capacity
or other. OF second and third year men
there are practically none left in Iesi-
dence. unless they are physically unfit to
take part in the war.
Nearly all the athletic "blues" at OK
ford and Cambridge are drawn from the
seniors, and freshmen, as a rule. stand
very little chance of obtaining their
colors There will be no intervarsity
Rugby match this year and no soccer
match. Captains of all games at both
universities have received commissions in
the army. The Oxford Cambridge boat
race was instituted in 1910 and rowed
continuously since 1856. AS a rule at this
time of the year the wedding out process
for the varsity eights is well under way,
hut no attempt has been made to form
trial eights, nor will any attempt be
made to do so. Englishmen are too busy
to give any attention to even so an inn
portant event as the boat race. So there
is hardly any likelihood of the race being
held next spring.

PENN BASKETBALL
PROSPECTS BRIGHT,
MATERIAL
First Game Will Be Next
Saturday, Against Muh-
lenberg College = Final
Lineup Not Yet Selected.

basketball prospects are brighter tina
usual at Pennsylvania this year. Coach
Jourdtt, former captain of the Red and
BIue, has a squad OF more than 80 can
didates from which to choose. The ma
terial is exceedingly fast, and there is
great opportunity to pick quintet that
VIII match with any In the League.
Among last years regulars who are in
uniform are: Wallace, guard; Hard
wick, guard. and Bullitt, forward. Cap
tain Seelbach is taking n rest after the
football season, and perhaps will not
get In either of the first two games. or
tho 1917 team OF last season. McNlcho'
and Evans are showing the most prom
Use. McBlora, Galllen and Altman also
are playing great game for second-year
men. From last years varsity squad
are McAfee, Stokes, Williamson and
Chandler. Besides these men there is
a wealth of unknown material OF which
much Is expected.
There is much speculation as to tho
Initial lineup. From the combination
used in scrimmages II is certain that
Coach Jourdet is pleased with the play
ing of McNlchol and Evans at forwards,
and will start them In the first game.
These two second-year men are the clev.
crest and fastest men In the squad, and
prove n great scoring pair. As this will
be their second year OF playing with
each other. great teamwork is expected
to be developed around them. Bullitt,
who developed into a good forward last
year, has been made first substitute by
the fast work of this pair. McNichol
will toss the foul goals this year. In
practice he has been making 10 out Of
u tries.
Wallace will play guard and act as
captain until Seelbach returns to the line
up. At the other guard will be Hard
wick. These two men watch the ball ex-
ceednglv close and few baskets are ever
registered against them. II they can de-
velop greater shooting ability they ought
to make two of the best guards in the
league.
Several candidates are contesting for
understudy to Captain Seelbach to start
the first game. OF these, McElmea is
showing up best. and will probably be
given n chance at the pivotal position.
Stokes. of last years freshman team,
is second choice, and may get into the
game for a few minutes.

CATHOLIC HIGH GAME WITH
ST. JOE NOT ARRANGED
Basketball Contest Hinges on Eligi-
bility Ruling Of Latter.

bility Ruling Of Latter.
st. Joseph's and Catholic High have not
yet arranged to play series Of basket
ball games, as has been enormously
stated. There IL still a hitch In regard
TO the eligibility rules Of St Joseph's
which the Catholic High officials wish to
! settle ST. Joseph's is a college at which
students may attend for eight successive
years, which gives them decided adj
vantage I'm building up athletic teams.
Catholic High demands that no student
play more than four years on an ath-
letic team and places miximum age
limit Of 10 years II the two Institutions
are to maintain basketball and other
athletic relations. The athletic directors
OF the two schools, Greer, of Catholic
High, and Eagan, of ST. Joseph's, will
hold a conference this week in which
basketball games will be arranged IL an
agreement can be reached. These games
would be played in February and March,
and would virtually decide the Catholic
schools championship Of the city.
The students at La Sale College are
strongly in favor of instltuting football
as n sport next season. No action has
been taken by the authorities, because
they believe that the present material
is incapable of playing successful grid
iron game, and II is entirely ZIP to the
student body to show what they can
produce in the line of football timber
The coming Of the football men as can
didates for the Catholic High basketball
team will result In several changes in
the llne-up. 1t has been decided to play
