SPORTING NOTES.

w. r. Knox, the British Olympic train
er, just appointed, is not very popular out
on the Pacific Coast. The San Francisco
Call tells the story, that after he had
been declared a professional by the Ca
madam A. A. U. in 1902 he went to Cali
fornia and competed for the Olympic
Club of San Francisco as an amateur
until exposed by James e. Sullivan, the
A. a. u. secretary, on Aug. 80, 1909. AT
the same time, it is said, he ran as a
professional under cover" He was i'm
mediately expelled from the Olympic
Club and has been competing in his true
colors since then.
Charley Cars Baseball College down
In San Antonio, Tex, gets recognition
as place to do preliminary Spring train
ing. Jean Dubuc, the Detroit pitcher,
says he will start in training there next
week Charley Carr hopes that major

"ookis' to him for points in the game be-
fore reporting for spring practice.
Charley Courtney, the veteran Cornell
rowing coach, preached reform in college
athletics in his tour of the West with
Pres. Schurman. His plea was for
maximum of competition within a uni
versitys student body and a minimum of
intercollegiate contests. Here is brief
quotation from what he said to the Chi
eago alumni of Cornell: Il am making
this talk as a sort of protest against the
present excess in intercollegiate contests.
This excess is taking away from the stu
dent the time he should be giving to his
college. A return to Older methods would
not dampen his college spirit and it
would restore some of the lost time
Less time spent in intercollegiate con-
tests and more in competition between
the different colleges of a great univer-
sity like Cornell would develop the traits
for which athletics were first encouraged
in institutions of learning"
A Harvard senior has suggested that
inasmuch as all intercollegiate track and
field championships are sectional, in srite
of the fact that Michigan and California
have competed in the intercollegiate
A. A. A. A. games in the East, an inter
collegiate meet be held once in three
years that will be National in the broad
on account of the freshman rule, obtain
ing. in many colleges. 1t is a big idea
and when one stops to think to what the
Penn relay carnival has grown he hest
tates to declare the plan impracticable
however much he believes that it will be
a long time before it will take definite
shape. IL it ever does.
