N. J.. to compete in the CaIedonian games. We spent a pleasant day at Elizabeth with my old friend Albert Schardien, July 3rd and left for New ark early the next morning, being warmly greeted by many old friends on our arrival there. It seemed so good to be in the running once more: My spirits rose with the notes of the bagpipes and I felt the enthusiasm of highlander as I listened to the strains of The. Campbe1ls Are Com ing. At 10 o'clock a. m. the local Caledonians, visiting clans ptpers. and competing athletes formed in line for a three mile march to CaIedonian park The day was very warm and ming weight. Upon our arrival at the park l felt very tired and weak and laid off on a bench in the shade.

TWENTY YEARS ON THE CINDER PATH
n1El1l1lUlH4-
By JOHN D. NOLAN.

1896 found me learning the rudi- ments of farming at which in later years I have been quite successful. It was not until Labor day that the old sportlust seized me, and l de- cided to go to New York and compete in the Caledonian games which were held in South Brooklyn that year. I felt very good and the weather was fine, but many of the old faces were missing. I decided to run in the three mile race, in which there were nine starters the most prominent of whom were McClelland, who had come on from Pittsburgh for these games; Jim Smith of Albany, the mile champion and Hegelnnan of New York who was in remarkably good condition that day. At the start HegeIInan cut out a hot pace and we followed tn close order for two miles. when Pete and l drew slowly away and st two and half miles had a lead Of twenty yards on Smith and McCIeiland who were run ming in close company. During the last half mile. however, they closed the gap by hard Sprinung and we began the last lap in close company with Hegelman still leading. This or der was maintained until the final hundred yards when I went into. the lead which I held to the tape, one yard in advance of Smith, who led McClelland by two feet while Hegel- fan was less than two yards behind McC1elland. It was the closest finish ica as a good sized blanket would have covered the four men at the finish
 The following Fourth of July, ac- companied by my friend John Gleason of Norwich, I went down to Newark,

 For ten minutes Coach Vivian Nick alls laid down the law for the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania oarsmen the other day in a speech in the rowing room of Weightlnan hall. Eighty candidates listened to a plain, straight from the shoulder talk on what they should and should not do in preparing for the i'm portant races of the year.
 Don't dance.' said the Red and Blue coach among other things. Don't smoke and don't chew gum. Get up at T.15 every morning and be In bed by 1O.s0 o'clock every night. Run every morning before breakfast, be regular in all things, eat slowly and don't gulp your food down like a wild animal. Every candidate is on his honor and I will expect him to live up to the rules which I announce today. If he don't. I'll get him." said the coach.
 Failure to live up to NiekalIs' rules will mean suspension.
 I'll fire the best man in the boat if he doesn't obey my orders, and I'll find out, too. if they are violated" he con- Cluded.

POST SEASON GAME
Between Columbia and Cornell Unde-
 cided-PIay in New York.

Negotiations for the play off of the tie for the intercollegiate basketball cham pionship of Columbia and Cor neil remained unchanged and it is now almost certain that even if the game is scheduled which is doubted. it will nol be played until Wednesday of next week and that it will take place in a New York city ar1nory, either at the Twenty second or Seventy first regi- ment, rather than in the University of Pennsylvania. according to Harry Fisher.
 The situation regarding the post season game was further complicated by the Cornell faculty. which. accord ing to a letter which Ralph Morgan, secretary of the Intercollegiate Bas- ketbau league, received from Erwin Kent, graduate manager of athletics, is undecided whether to permit the Ithacans to play off for the title.
 Harry Fisher graduate manager Of athletics at Columbia, and coach of the five, said that 1t would be impossi- ble for him to get his team in trim on a days notice, as the players have not praGticed since last week, and Fisher said he would want at least two or three days drill to get the combination back into championship condition.
