Rowing Led Crimson List,

Good Number Respond for
Each Branch.

The question of the propriety OF
college athletes writing for the news
papers and other publications outside
of the college domain forms large
part of the report on athletics at Har-
ward which has just been submitted
to President Abbott Lawrence Lowell
by l.. B. r. Briggs. No blame for
articles written by Harvard men is
found, but il is pointed out that there
are evils which may arise. and some
which have actually come about,
through liberties taken by certain
newspapers with the copy" Also the
question is raised as TO whether the
amateur standing Of an athlete Is at.
fected by his receiving direct remu-
neration from writing about athletics
and a negative answer given
There is a discussion and review of
the proposal to eliminate the baseball
coach from the players bench during
the games. This was the result of
an agreement between certain officers
representing the control of athletic
sport at Princeton. Yale, and Harvard,
and was first suggested in 1913. Later
the captains of the baseball teams
ratified the agreement, but with a GER
tain amount of skepticism. The con-
clusion in the report is that il will
improve the game, having the players
no more accessible to the coach than
crew in a race.
All the year is called a prosperous
one in Harvard athletics unless. as the
report says, prosperity is measured
by the success of Harvard teams in
major sports" According to the sta
tistics Of the actual students engaged
in any branch of sport. rowing Is the
most popular. with representation Of
sos men in the Weld and Newell boat
clubs and the freshmen and varsity
crews. The varsity track team called
forth a representation OF Isl men,
and varsity football 80 men. In all
of the braBches OF sport there were
I,S23 men who took part.
