, ca in important sporting events
England's best crews, as well as
those Of Germany and other foreign
crews. competed. buc in the final
heat, which brought Harvard and
the Union Boat club of Boston in
opposition. the Crimson eight won
easily.
Davis Cup Gone.
Tennis was marked by a brilliant
victory of the Australasian team for
the famous Davis cup. Though this
defeat was not without honor to tnis
country. as Maurice e. Mclaughlin,
the wonderful California player, de-
feated Norman e. Brookes and
Anthony F. wilding, the Australasian
representatives, and earned the rec
ognized title Of champion o. the world,
in spite of his downfall in the national
tournament two weeks later at New
port.
The challenging polo team from
the Nottingham club, England, sue
ceeded in regaining possession Of the
International Polo cup, defeating the
Meadow Brook team in two straight
games. This event was the biggest
surprise of the season. England also
captured the four-mile college relay
championship at Philadelphia, de-
feating the University of Pennsyl-
vania by a very narrow margin.
There was an absence of interna-
tions interest In golf, as Miss
Gladys Ravenscroft of England failed
to defend the title she won In 1913.
In the amateur and open tournaments
competition was confined to American
talent and a high standard of play was
recorded
Football witnessed a succession Of
stirring reversals of form and was
marked by the development of spec
tacuIar open play. Percy Houghton's
Harvard machine won the so-called
intercollegiate championship for the
third consecutive time, but the grand
strides made by the smaller colleges
made the season unusually interest
ing. The remarkable record of
Washington and Jefferson and Rut-
gers was illustrative of the latter con-
dition.
On Track and Field.
During the athletic year the usual
humiliation of recorus in many de-
partments of the games under the
Amateur Athletic Union has been
the outcome of the many series con-
tested, with the result that a number
Of new figures have been added to
the book of records. The year was
the most successful in the history of
the sport. Prominent among the
record makers is Hoard p. Drew,
the colored sprinter, who equaled the
record OF S-5 seconds for 100 yards

Work Is Harmless.

Work never hurt anyone if it was
only broad enough and deep enough in
its claims on human nature. Our ex-
tremely long lived men have always
been hard workers. Pope Leo XIII,
who died at ninety-three; Humboldt.
who died at ninety-two; Gladstone and
Virchow, octogenarians, are exam
pies in our time. Is it any wonder
that physician gets impatient when
people talk about the men and women
of our generation doing so much that
they are eXhausting vitality? The
trouble is they do not do enough.
