annual battle, they played the Mid
dies off their legs. Eichenlaub is the
mainstay of Notre Dame, and he
would be badly missed. In the West
he is looked upon as the very best and
the East has given him due credit.
He was selected for the All-Western
team last fall, and it was expected
that the football year to come would
be his best. Joe Byrne, jr., and the
other Newark boys who are familiar
with affairs at Notre Dame, are hop
ing and praying for the recovery of
the great fuIlback.

Pennsylvania is so well satisfied
with her rowing coach that she is
praising his efforts even thus early
in the game Vivian Niekalls, the
coach in question, seems to have
taken hold of the Quakers in such q
manner as to thoroughly please the
rowing committee at the college. If
Coach Nickalls is such really good
man, Pennsy will be heard from on
the water, for of all things the Quak-
ers are generally well provided with
excellent candidates for her crews.
She has had the material for years,
and with Coach Nickalls the man
to bring all that is in the men out
Of them, Pennsy will have much to
say in the college rowing world this
year.

Preparation of our ponies for the
International matches is in order.
Harry Payne Whitney, although de-
claring he will not play, is devoting
much attention to the details for the
big contests. He has shipped thirty
where Larry Fitzpatrick. the trainer,
will have charge of them. America
is not so sure of her polo ability, but
she is not going to give up without
stern battle. Mr.. Whitney is still
enthusiastic and he promises to see
that we are not too seriously handi-
capped in our horseflesh. Practise
will begin next week at Lakewood
ard continued until the matches are
held. Until the various candidates
for the team have shown their PROV
ess on the field the makeup of the
four will not be known. Just now
Whitney is out on his own say-so,
but he may eventually be forced into
the fray, he is such brilliant player.
Polo has become fad in Spain
and King Alphonso has taken it up
His Royal Highness, in fact, has
taken to the game with such vim
that he promises to bring a team over
to this country and compete in the
polo tourney to be held at the Pan
ama-Pacific Exposition at San Fran
cisco. The sum. of 100000 has been
appropriated for the polo contests on
the coast, and the King is quoted as
saying that he would like nothing
better than to bring a team over here
and humble all the other nations
Polo is a most interesting sport, and
it would be as popular as baseball ii
IL wasn't so expensive.

The French sports are much dis
satisfied with the referees decision
giving the recent fight between Joe
Jeanette, the American negro, and
| Georges Carpenter to the Yankee
boxer Moving pictures were taken
of the contest, and, in order to prove
that he was right in his opinion OF
the outcome of the battle, the referee
invited a number of French sporting
writer's and sports to witness a run
of the films. The referee didn't help
matters any, for, after close obser-
walton of the pictures, the French
men were more pronounced than ever
in their views. If Carpenter had
won. in their opinion, before, after
seeing the films they were doubly
sure that he was the winner. So the
poor referee, who was honest in his
views, is now worse off than ever.
