ITnACANS MAY YET
 TWIST TIGERS TAIL
Cornell Hot on Hct|S Of Princeton
 in Basketball Race.

By virtue of the fact that it did not play game, Princeton retained it's lead in the intercollegiate bask etball league last week, but Cornell, by de- feating Pennsylvania, moved perilous- ly close to the top, and if the Ithaca men should be fortunate enough to trounce the Tigers when they meet for the first time on Friday, Cornell will gain undisputed possession of the lead.
 Colum bia defeated Dartmo outh in the only other game played during the week, but, as neither team is looked upon with favor, the victory of the Blue and White probably will not have much bearing on the league race especially for first place. Colum bia meets it's test fire this week, wh en it opposes both Yale and Pennsylva- mia. The New York five journeys to New Haven. on Tuesday for it's clash with the Blue and meets Pennsylva- mia on it's home floor on Friday.
 Success in both games will put Co., lumbia in the running, but it's play against Dartm Outh last week was not Of sufficiently high calibre to warrant hopes for victory. The last game Of the week will be the Yale-Dart..,c cuth match at Hanover on Saturday.
 McNichol, of Pennsylvania, retains his position at the top of the colupt n of individual scorers. He is the most deadly thrower from the foul line thc league has ever seen with seventy points. Brown, of Cornell. is second, with sixteen field goals to his credit.

FELL" WALSH STARS.
Making Big Hit With Eordham
 Basketball Quintet

Bill" Walsh. son Of MT and Mrs. John J. Walsh of Bassett street, is the shining light of the Fordham col- lege basketball five this season. The Washington Post has the following 70 say of his work against George Wash ington universit, last week:
 Bill Walsh came to the rescue at the right time and gave an exhibition of goal shooting that went down as a decided feature of the evenings of- fering. He caged the ball from all distances and angles and his indi- vidual efforts were largely responsible for a rally that cut down the margin in short order. Without Walsh the visiting team would have been hard ly able to accomplish much"

PLENTY OF MAHANS.
Many More Like Eddie at Natick, Waiting For Chance to Join Harvard.

Tommy Connolly, the veteran American league umpire, never cared much for football until his fellow townsman, Eddie Mahan, of Natick, Mass, began to show his worth at Cambridge. Now, Connolly is an en- thusiastic rooter for Harvard. In discussing the gridiron game yester- day somebody lamented to the umpire that the Harvard captain had only one more year to give for his univer- sity.
 Well" said Connolly, they Il find plenty more like him."
 More like Mahan." calculated the pessimist. "There'll never be an other Mahan.'
 ''Is that so,' answered the umpire. Well, as matter of fact, l live just across the street from the Mahans, and there are fifteen in the family. Nine or ten of them are boys, and they're all going to play football at Harvard"

SHOULD HAVE HELD RED"

Billy Fitz, writing in the Oakland (Cal) Tribune under the heading, "Whv Pick Out Red Held ?' says Red Held will be with us no more! The gentleman with the auburn side- chops whom we used to hail with delight as Jim the Butler has been handed his release by President Al Baum This action is in line with the decision of the league to reduce from a staff of six umpires to one of only, three. Phyle, Finney, Mccarthy and Guthrie are still under contract, and one of these must go. The writ CT thought Held was the best um- nire of the lot. and we are inclined to think that President Baums action will be viewed with concern by many fans around the circuit.

nothing as compared with the condi- tions under which some of the races in this country are rowed. And we could not reproduce the picture, the beauty of that Henley course, with its many attractive boat clubs, no matter how much we tried. Those who go to Henley are content to take mp a place somewhere along the course and view the races from there. l don't think that would be a satisfactory method on this side. We want the observation trains, so that we may keep right up with the crews and see the event from start to finish. Then. too, a week of rowing woud hardly find favor in the colleges.
 Rowing in the universities, I think is continually improving, and we will hardly adopt an innovation such as copying Henley for a long time at any rate. Perhaps there are not so many colleges competing as years ago, but certainly there arc more men taking part in the sport"

N. B. MAKES POOR
 SHOWING BUT WINS
Ansonia Weakened By Absence of Stars-LoCal Marksmen Away
 Off on Their Shooting.

In a one-sided exhibition of basket
 ball Saturday evening the local High
 school team overwhelmed the An
 sonia High quintet at the High school
 gymnasium, 39-12. While New Brit
 ain won the game handily, they
 showed the poorest form of the sea-
 son. It has been reckoned that they
 scored one out of ten chances to make
 a basket. Their floor work was bet
 ter, but the shooting was deplorably
 weak. Ansonia, crippled by the ab-
 sence of Molineaux and Davidson,
 presented the weakest team that has
 been seen on the local court this sea-
 son. Instead of completely crush
 ing the Ansonia team, New Britain
 just gave them a fairly good trounc- ing.
 It is thought that a change will be made in the locals lineup lineup in which Tuthill will be removed from the team and Schade will go to center
 and Martin take Schade's place at forward. The lineup:
 N. B. H. s. Ansonia High. Schmidt, Martin Priscilla Right Forward

 Ilnsourg McN1sh Right Guard. buodcK .'....... COnklln Left Guard Summary-N. B. H. s. 39, Ansonia 12 baskets, Schmidt ?, Schade 5, Tut hill 4, Dudack 3, Ginsburg 3, Martin, Priscilla, Baret.

Johnson and Root played their usual strong game for 1 the seconds, and Breckenridge starred 1 for the church team.

POWERS TO BRING
 KANSAS CITY EAST
Federal League Club Either for the
 Bronx, N. Y, or Newark.

New York Feb S.-Pat Powers las acquired the Kansas City fran chise in the Federal league and will transfer it either to New York or Newark.
 Powers yesterday afternoon ad- njtted at his home in Jersey City,
 that, with several others, whose names he refused to divulge, he had purchased the franchise, and that the club would no longer be operated in Kansas City. He also admitted that the choice had narrowed down to this
 city and the New Jersey metropolis
 and that a decision would not be ar rived at for four or five days. James
 A. Gilmore, president of the Federal
 league, is expected here tomorrow,
 and a conference will be held to settle
 upon change in circuit
 According to what could be gleaned
 from the interview with Powers, the
 former president of the old Eastern
 league is in favor of Newark, but the
 league officials are of the opinion that now is the time to invade New York,
 Robert B. Ward is one of the most enthusiastic believers in the practic- ability of placing a Federal league club in the Bronx, and he is willing, it is said, to make big concessions in the transfer of a plot of ground in The Bronx which he owns and which is suitable for a ball park.
 ''No Decision Reached.'' Powers said: ''I will admit that we have obtained the Kansas City fran | chise in the Federal league. It is 1 too bad that the thing got out now, 1 for publicity at this time is likely to
 hurt the project. I am not alone in the deal. There are several other | reputable business men in it with me, | but l have given my word that [ | would not disclose their identity until 1 the proper time.
 1 I've have decided that New York or Newark are the best places for our 1 club, but 1t will be several days be- l fore we reach a final decision as to 1 which city would make our venture 1 the more profitable. I know that the 1 fans, particularly those Of Newark, are very anxious to know where the fran = 1 chise is going, but I can give you my 1 word of honor that we have not made

CAMP IS FOR FOUR
 MILE ROWING RACE
Does Not Believe Distance for BIg
 Event Will Be Shortened.

Walter Camp considers that it is reduce the distance of their Varsity race at New London. It has, he says been rowed for many years, and nov there is a set of statistics for the event comparison, and shortening of the distance would upset all of this, with the result that something in the tra- ditional sentiment of the regatta would be lost. and such a change would never meet with the approval of either graduates or undergraduates His own observation, he says, has ney- CT led him to the belief that there was any injury in the present distance. The recent proposal, which has been vouched for by many from various colleges, for aping the English Hen- ley regatta, he considers, is absolutely without place here, for many years anyway.
 In speaking of this latter subject he said: ''Those who would inauguratc such a plan in this country cannot be familiar with the conditions of tho Henley regatta. In the first place We have no course that would at all com pare with Henley, and the entire at mosphere of that event would be lacking. l was at the regatta in Eng land last year, and while stopping in London could run out to the course, see the races I wanted to, and return later, for the trip to and fro takes only about an hour. Where in this country could a course be found which would answer in such a re- spect? It is this easy accessibility which is a striking feature of rhc English Henley.
 Henley Never Has Rough Weather
 ''Th en, as to the course itself, there is no opportunity for duplication. The Henley course is never affected seri- ously by what we would term unfa- vorable weather conditions. Nearly all of the time it is a calm stretch Of water and even when there is wind, it raises but a little ripple on the sur face, which we would call absolutely

wildcat who used to wear the light weight crown upon his dome, will celebrate his twenty y-seventh birthday today. Ad was born in Cadillac, Mich., Feb. 8, 1888, and he still re- sides in his native town, where he owns a prosperous farm.

 It was his appendix that made Ad hit the toboggan. The Michigan wild cat looked good enough to hold the title many years when, on the eve of his scheduled battle with Freddie Welsh in 1911, he was suddenly stricken with appendicitis and rushed off to a hospital for an operation. In his subsequent bouts his blows lacked their old steam and sting, and in the latter part of 1912 he lost the title to Willie R1tchie. Later he was de- feated by Tommy Murphy and Joe Azevedo, and it looked as if Ads scrapping days were over.
 Last year Wolgast pulled come back, and in several bouts showed flashes of his old-time form. He looked to have a chance to regain his lost hOnOrS when he broke a couple of small bones in his left hand while preparing for a battle with Joe Rivers 1 in California. Last September he fought a draw with Joe Mandot in Milwaukee, and was matched with Freddie Welsh. He met the cham pion in Madison Square Garden, New York, and was going along swim mingly when the broke his right arm and had to quit. Despite this series of misfortunes, Wolgast expects to stay in the game. AS a man of Ger man blood he has several old scores he hopes so wipe out, as he has been 1 defeated by an Englishman and l Portuguese and held to a draw, with perhaps shade the worst of it. by a Frenchman. These defeats rankle in Adolph's buzzum, and he is deter mined to revenge himself upon the hated allies.
