Coach Haughton and Captain Mahsn.
Of the Harvard football team. today

dates for spring work. Only thirty

Football Is a race against time.
Princeton and Yale are already far
ahead of us. since both have held win
ter practice and have made plans for a
long spring drill. Harvard's practice
lasts exactly eighteen days. II we wish
to be in tho race next fall we must
start Immediately, as championships
are won only by the hardest kind OF
work. Thus it Is imperative that more
candidates report for spring practice" "

MASQUERADERS END
PIN SEASON IN A TIE
Squirrels and Nuts Clash for
Last Time, But Title Re-
mains UnaWarded.
By KIRK C. MILLER.

Those Nuts and Squirrels are not cne
whit better off today than II they had
never seen a bowling alley, for the
maniac duckpin championship Of the
United States, Canada, and tho South
Sea Isles was tied up at the Palace
Alleys last night when the flfty-six-ptn
margin established by the Nuts at the
previous engagement was just eVened
by the Squirrels In last nights hnal
meeting Of the season. Thus. the com,
ing twelve months will find no crowned
heads resting uneasy, for the champion
ship trophy belongs to nobody in par
ticular, and for another year IL Will lie
in state in its dust-coated case In the
attic of the Palace, perfectly mani
mate and neutral.
Probably no freak bowling contests
has ever attracted the -throng of fans
and fannettes which gathered along the
alleys and in the balcony to see the
masqueraders wear down their ply
siques through the three long and wear1-
some hours, and all to no avail for the
coveted honor did not flop to either side.
and the months of ardent training &C
complished by both teams failed to de-
velop sufficient strength to wrest the
title from its neutral state. Technically
speaking, the Nuts are as poor bowlers
as the Squirrels, and vice versa. They
arc one and the same. as far as duckpin
versatility Is concerned. The Nuts won
BY ffty-six pins, when the headquarters
of the Squirrels was visited last month
and last night the rodents of the
southeast came back to the lair of the
Nuts and won by the same margin.
Although there has been a general
! expression of modesty regarding the
| personnel of the teams which wound up
the seasons activities last night. in all
fairness to the public. a complete roster
of the masqueraders is forthcoming.
| IL
perpetrator in bringing these two teams
into existence is Charles Plunkett. who's
main object In gathering the city s
most notable bowling nuts was to re-
produce their activities on the moving
picture screen. His business is moving
pictures, except when that profession
interferes with bowling. Buck Oliveri
was first to fall for Plunkett's scheme,
and naturally he dragged his fellow
nut, Left Wooden. in by the heels
Incidentally Wooden holds the belt fol
keeping the balls In the trenches. ano
he rolled true to form last night. See
ing that that trio had weakened. Casey
and Murphy. both shining lights II
and there the team was made UP.
Not to be outdone by the uptown
bowlers. Pete Malone. mayor of South
east Washington. opined that he had IL
about bowling than Villa does abou
quitting-which is nothing. Booz'
Howlin was placed at the captaincy o
the Squirrels. and he quickly named a.
his lieutenants Messrs. ONeil. Frelick
Sanderson, and Sesso. who sproved dc
/ serving throughout the conflicts. Thus
the Squirrels and Nuts. This is all. o
| the apology or explanation they have t.
offer. They met and neither won
neither lost! So Washington has tive
crazy duckpin teams, none know whicl
is the crazier. but they proved las
night that they are very crazy, indeed
very, very!

Central will enter it's speedy re
lay team in the championship class.
Hunt, Hill, Gates, and Milstead will
probably form the quartet of flyers
to be pitted against the cream of
the high school teams in the coun-
try. The Central runners will prob
ably be put in another race, as there
are no more capable quartermilcrs in
the school than the four named.
Western Is sending relay composed

the four present veterans of the crew

suit.

The Washington times., 1915-03-31

There's little sense in picking final
positions for a ball team just about to
start on its campaign. But the Wash
ington club will have the support OF
the fans here and all around tho cir
cult, II only because 1t Is strong enough
to be q contender. no matter where II
finally lands. Yes, It sure will be a
contender in this coming 1915 contest
for the American League gonfalon.
Staging boxing contests, however in
nocent, in the District Of Columbia is
contrary to the code and just how those
wise men from Gotham are going to
turn the trick should be interesting.
But, allowing that they will succeed in
their project. the exhibition billed is a
farce. Whenever Bob Pitzsimmons
crawls through the ropes to face his
son. Bob. jr.. you should prepare to
laugh and laugh loudly. This is the
best pair OF jokes ever caught in the
