HoWEIL.s. 20 ToDAX. SAYS WAR
rs FOE OF LPTERATURM

William Dean Howe1Is, the honor
ed dean OF American literature was
born Seventy-eight years ago today
at Martin Ferry. o.. the son of a
country editor. The man who has
attained a place among the greatest
OF the worlds writer's was educated
In Ohio newspaper ofdces, where he
served as printer, reporter and editor.
The eminent novelist does not share
the opinion of those who believe that
the war viii inspire men to- write
literature OF lasting merit. War, he
holds, is the death OF real literature
cit is an upheaval OF civilization he
told an interviewer a few months ago,
Sc a return to barbarisrn, and it means
death to all the arts
The nlintaristic ideal, Mr.. HoweIls
declared, has long since stopped lit
erature in Germany. To illustrate
this point he. quoted the words Of the
editor OF a. German literary pubHca-
ton: There are no longer any Ger
man nove1ists worthy of the name.
Our new ideal has stopped all that.
A4ihtarism is our new ideal-the
ideal of dufy-and 1t has killed the
ina ginatfon.''
The Russians, said Mr. HoweIIs.
have been little affected by the war
like spirit in the past. 1.-The people
of Russia are not miIitaristic as the
Germans are nilitaristtc.H he assert
ed. In Germany war has for gem
GRAFTON been the chief idea. of every
one. The nation has had a mi1itaris-
tic obsession- And this, naturally, has
stifled the imagination. In Russia
nothing of the sort has happened.
Whatever the designs of the ruling
classes may be, the people of Rus
STA keep their simplicity, their large
intellectually and spirituality. And,
therefore their imagination and 9TH
er great intellectual and spiritual
gifts and expression In their great
novels and plays
"Romanticism, said Mr.. HowelIs,
sis no longer at a literary force
among English speaking authors
Romanticism belongs to the days in
which war was an aim, an ideal, in
stead Of tragic accident. 1t is
something foreign to u.s. Realism is
the material of democracy. And no
great literature or art can arise OUT
side of the democracy

Victory of Princeton Shows
Need of Developing
Men Like Selby
and Nourse.
BY l.. DE B. HANDLEY.

The capture by Princeton OF the in
tercollegiate water polo championship
should open the eyes Of captains and
coaches to the necessity of developing
strong, able scoring forwards. The
Tiger team was weak on defence; its
backfeld did not compare favorably
with those Of Yale AID Columbia, yet
the dashing attack Of Nourse and Selby
proved irresistible ana enabled the
rather unbalanced Orange and Black
sextet to win decisively every game OF
the season.
Too little attention is paid 70 the
linesmen at present. One can count
on the fingers of a single hand the
first class forwards of the year. Bet
ter by far sacrifice the strength OF
the rear guard than lack the power to
smash through the opponents defence.
Every player-never mind what his
given position--should be taught how
to reach the rival goal, both over and
under water, that he may be shifted
and used in attack Il the occasion de-
mands.
There is no doubt that Princeton's
brilliant victory was due chiefly TO
Nourse's splendid individual work and
TO the constant and most efficient sup
port he received from Captain Selby.
As expected, Pennsylvania defeated
Princeton in swimming last Wednes-
day and brought about triangular tie

Revolution Imminent
in College Swimming

organizing among themselves and
launching a new league.
Richard +. Nelligan, of Amherst, a
member OF the National Collegiate A.
A.. committee on aquatics, said recent
~ on the subject: There are many
things in connection with the so-called
Intercollegiate Association which
should like 10 see corrected. For in
stance, il seems 10 me that the individ-
ual championships OF the league. which
serve to award the intercolleg late
titles, can hardly be styled intercollegi-
ate championships, as only students OF
the affiliated colleges can take p@rt IN
them.
"ln fact, although | received last De-
ccmber a letter from President Marcy
stating that il would be possible for
representatives of outside colleges TO
start in the individual events, learned
later from other sources that after the
Amherst entries had been made it was
voted to alter the ruling. so that only
by joining the league could our water
men become eligible.
at may be feasible, however, 20
build another association, composed of
Union, Syracuse, Harvard, Wesleyan,
Amherst, Brown. Williams and any
other OF the unattached colleges which
care 20 come in. Then we can have
open championships, which will be real
intercollegiate tests, with 10 one eX-
cluded."
Mr. Nelligan errs in believing that
the delegates altered the league rules
after receiving the Amherst entries. as
II was decided seasons ago 20 confine
the titular contests TO members of the
association. He evidently misunderstood
President Marcy's letter, which referred
to the special events for outsiders, add
ed last year 20 the championship pro-
gramme 10 encourage the weaker coll
leges, but since cancelled, because no
entries were made when the time came
he is absolutely right, though, in
stating that intercollegiate events
should be open 10 all, and if the league
is unwilling 10 so make them, a sep
arate set OF championships, free from
obtaining restrictions, should be es-
tablished as a yearly fixture. 20 settle
the question OF general supremacy.

Spectacular Finish to Ex-
ira Time Cup Tie with
Newcastle United.
OLDHAM ATHLETIC
BOWS TO SHEFFIELD
Manchester City Misses Chance
to Take Lead in English
Soccer League.
nv Cable TO Tho Tribune. J

London, March l3.-The soccer cup
tie between Newcastle United and
Chelsea. on the ground of the former,
was easily the most important game
played in England to-day. Chelsea, the
only survivor Of the South Of England
clubs. defeated the visitors before
large crowd OF supporters by score OF
1 10 0.
The London club made quite a show
ing against the famous Northerners,
and time was called with score sheet
blank. Extra time was ordered by the
referee, and Ford, securing the ball by
the halfway line, ran through the de-
fence and scored q brilliant goal Just
on time.
The other replayed tic was played on
a. Sheffield between the United and
Oldham Athletic, resulting in the home
club easily beating the first league
leaders by score Of 3 to 0. The win
ners now have to meet Bolton Wander
ers in the semi-fnal.
In the first division OF the Associa-
ton League Manchester City missed a
fine chance Of getting to the top by
losing to Liverpool by score Of to
2, but still holds second in the table
to Oldham Athletic. Blackburn Rovers
got into third place by beating Ever
ton by a score of 2 to l. Tottenham
Hotspurs lost badly to Bradford, 60
ing under by the large score of to l,
which makes their position very seri-
Gus at the bottom, and with only nine
more games to play in the competition
they can hardly save themselves from
reduction to the second division next
season.
Aston Villa ran up big score
against ddlesborough, winning at 8
to 0.

Break in the Old League
May Mean a New
intercollegiate AS
sociation.
BY /. DE B. HANDLEY.

Unless all signs fail there are likely
to be material changes in the field of
college water sports before the opening
OF next season. Not only does a break
threaten in the ranks of the lntercol-
legiate Swimming Association, but sew
eral OF the universities now competing
unattached are laying plans for the
formation of another aquatic organi-
zation.
Two things point to probable split
in the existing league: First, the pro-
test made by Pennsylvania against the
dioualifcation of Captain Shryock in
the Columbia meet will come up for
discussion at IA general gathering Of
the delegates on March 2S, and the
Ouakers have sgnified their inten-
ton Of Withdrawing from the associ-
.ation If it is decided against them,
while Yale threatens TO secede II the
appeal is granted: so one or the other
may defect; second, il is reported that
Princeton intends TO make its reten-
tion Of membership conditional 10 the
adoption by the league OF several new
rules, including the barring OF fresh
men from the varsity swimming and
water polo teams. the appointment OF
only college graduates as referees at
the championship fixtures and the
doubling Of the present number Of
meets, so that each team may face
every other twice, both at home and
in the rival pool.
There is indication that at least one
or two Of these suggestions will find
strong opposition and cause the Tigers
20 bow themselves out.
Whatever the outcome OF the ques-
tions at issue, number OF colleges in
the East have pronounced IL favor Of
