More Than 10 Per Cent of
400 Entrants at Madison

Won Honors.

An excellent idea Of the high stand
ard Of performance by American col.
Iege athletes is gained by study OF
the entry list for the indoor lntercol-
Iegiate relay carnival to be held IN
Madison Square Garden next Saturday
night.
track meet held under |. c. A. A. A. A.
direction, more than 10 per cent or the
entrants hold track and field champion
ship titles of various grades. In an
entry of more than 400 athletes, repre-
senting seventeen colleges and uni
versities. forty-four have won interna-
tional national or sectional honors
while still undergraduates.
That these performers have not de-
voted their entire athletic ability to
college competition is shown by the
fact that of the forty-four champion
ships won. more than so per cent OF
the titles were gained IN Amateur Atm
letic Union contests.
An analysis of the records shows that
among the contestants at the GARDEN
games will be two Olympic champions,
five senior National Amateur Athlete
Union champions, six junior national
title holders, eight A. A. U. assocla-.
ton senior champions, five juniors OF
the same class, fourteen national in
tercollegiate champions and four New
England intercollegiate champions.
Considered from the standpoint OF
college utilization alone, the entries
show that Dartmouth has entered the
greatest number of title holders, gain
ing first place with eleven. Yale is
second with eight, Cornell third with
seven, and Pennsylvania fourth with
six. The other colleges represented in
the East are Harvard, with five; Co
lumbia, with three; Massachusetts

Football Captains Express
Satisfaction Over the
Changes in Rules.
PENN WRESTLERS
HAVE GOOD ALlBl
Fichenlaub VIII Not Lead Notre
Dame Eleven Next Fall, and
Captaincy Is Vacant.

A consensus Of opinion on the recent
changes in the football rules, as eE-
messed by the captains OF various col
iege teams, has been gathered by The
Yale Daily News" The men VINO viii
lead the teams in 1915 seem TO agree
that the changes made in the rules are
for the good Of the game and will In
crease interest in the play.
a. D. Wilson, the captain OF the
Yale eleven, in discussing the rules,
said:
at seems TO me the rules are ex-
ceedingly satisfactory. It has always
been the policy of the rules committee
TO clean up the game. The rules this
last season were good, and needed
scarcely any changes; for this reason
the committee attempted nothing radl-
cal. The new rule preventing a for
ward pass out of bounds on the fourth
down is really good one, as there is
no use having a punter on your team
when he does nothing but forward pass
all the time.
Captain Mahan Of Harvard, who
has been visiting me, expressed the
opinion that the rules were all right,
and that the slight changes did not
mar anv feature Of the game, perfect
as IL hAd Deen alTeduy' Aui'J "etNN
with him"
G. N. williamson, captain OF the
University of Pittsburgh football
team, said:
az am heartily in favor Of the
changes in the football rules adopted
at the recent meeting of the rules
committee. and I shall continue TO ia
vor all changes which tend to make
football a cleaner and more open
game.
81 am especially pleased with the
rule placing a penalty on the taxing
out and clipping of men after a play
is over and the referees whistle has
blown. Personally, | have never been
able to see any element of sportsman
ship whatever in practising such meth,
DDS. Such play certainly will not tend
to increase the popularity Of the game.
al should like to see the penalty
increased, where a player who is en-
deavoring to catch a punt, or for
ward pass, is tackled before he has
caught the ball. Until the player has
fairly caught the ball he is off his
guard. and can easily be severely in
iured by a hard tackle, whether the
tackle be made accidentally or inten-
tionally." -,

captain, said:

TINY FANClER WINS
Little Miss Platt's Tiny Boy
Best at BustanobY's.

All the dogs that were not too
wearied by the exertion Of their four
day "act" at Madison Square Garden
last week showed up at Bustanobys,
at Sixtieth Street and Broadway, on
Friday. and competed in the weekly
matinee dog show.
The big silver trophy for the best
in the show" went to DR.. Goodman's
handsome little Pekingese, Sun Wan
of Esterro, with Black Prince V, Miss
Schlling's favorite Pomeranian, get
ting the reserve.
A feature of the show was the ap-
pearance in the ring of Miss Elizabeth
Plat, showing a Pekingese puppy
named Drewstone Tiny Boy. Miss
Platt said she believed there is a
great future in store for dogs of that
breed and advised the other fanciers
present TO follow her example and de-
vote most of their attention IN the
breeding of toys 10 the fascinating
Pekes. Tiny Boy won the cup for the
best puppy in the show. Miss Platt
is four years and three months old.

STOLE DOG; TEN MONTHS
Prisoners Denial Spoiled by
Ill Timed Admission.

Ten months at hard labor for steal
ing a dog was the punishment meted
out recently by the Recorder OF Leeds,
England, TO John Williams Phipps,
alias John Smith, a laborer.
The prisoner had pleaded guilty TO
the charge Of taking an Airedale ter
rier valued at about Sl6 from citizen
of Leeds. It would appear that the
heavy sentence was due to the fact
that the offender had followed dog
stealing as a profession. When he was
arrested the detective found a guam
tity of boiled liver and linseed in the
mans pocket. The scene in the court
room is thus described by "Our Dogs:
"Phipps denied that he made pro-
fessior of stealing dogs, adding that
he had not the time.
The Recorder Well, you appear to
be committing these thefts in your
spare time, for you know you had the
meat for the purpose.
Prisoner-W Veil, you know as well as
I do you have to entice them with
something. Loud laughter.)
The court then pronounced sentence.
