HORNE, FORMER HIGH JUMP
CHAMPION, QUITS ATHLETICS
Man Who Broke Mike
SWeeney's Record to
Take Charge of Farm
in California.

GEORGE r. HORNE. the former Le-
VI land Stanford University high
Jumper, and for two years holder OF the
worlds record Of feet inches, has re-
tired from athletics and will devote him
self In the future Of farming In Callfor-
MIA. Thus ends the athletic career of a
young man who almost revolutonlzed
the art OF high jumping.
Although Horine is now out OF compe-
tltioh, the style Of high jumping which
made him famous Is now not only the
standard on the Pacific coast, but IL is
being initiated by many school and col
lege men In the East Horne's only re-
grct upon retirement Is that his record
was eclipsed moro than a year ago bv
Edward Beeson, OF the University of Cal
ifornla, who now holds the worlds mark
OF feet 5-16 inches. But there Is this
eXtenuating circumstance: The present
record holder is a California man, and
made his record by following Horne's
methods. HORNE tried hard last summer
to beat Beeson's mark, but failed.
HORNE made his 6O7 record in the early
spring of 1912. His method of jumping
was revelation to Eastern men, and his
style was attacked as Illegal. A great
many Eastern men have never yet been
convinced that Horinc's style of jumping
was fair, particularly not when compared
to the methods used by Mike Sweeney,
Wesley Oler, of Yale and A. w. Rich
ards, of Cornell. These men actually
jump over the bar. The charge made
against the HORNE method is that this
jump is a roll rather than n leap. The
contention still is that HORNE flung him
self up to the bar in parallel fashion, and
that he got his great height by a skilfu
manipulation of the bar which, his critics
insist, he was able to hold in place with

FLEET OF MOTOR
YACHTS READY
TO AID NATION
Delaware and Schuylkill
Clubs Band Together in
U. S. Power Squadron
TO SERVE IN CASE OF WAR

Following out the general plan of pre-
paredness, members of yacht clubs on
the Delaware and schuylkln Rivers re-
Gently formed the Philadelphia division
Of the United States Power Squadron
Thel ocal squadron was formed under the
auspices Of the Schuylklu Nautical Asso-
citation at It's regular blmonthly meeting
held In the headquarters of the Adelphla
Yacht Club, Lemon Ill Mansion, Fair
mount Park.
In the moving picture drama THE Bat
tie Cry of Peace" one of the scenes de-
picted Is n fleet OF five highpowered eX-
press cruisers going through squadron
cvolutions with the caption, "MotorboRt
owners Preparing to Go Into Action as
Patrolers and Dispatchers." Every avail
able craft which comes up to the set
standard Of the War Department is re-
qucstcd to join the local squadron. AT
the present time 81 motorboat owners
have signed their name to application
TO membership and are ready to pass the
examination.
At the present time there are t6 squad
rons located on the Atlantic and Pacific
coast and the great lakes. The United
States Power Squadrons had their incep-
tion two years ago. when Captain a. l..
Stebbns, of Boston, working in in con-
junction with Commodore Upton, of the
Boston Yacht club, formed the first divi-
sion under the control of the Boston
Yacht Club. Thirteen of the squadrons
are located on the Atlantic coast and it's
tributaries located from Portland, Me-,
to Miami, Fla.
The Philadelphia division is the second
in this locality, the first being among the
members of the Cornthian Yacht Club,
which has its headquarters on the Del
aware River at ESSingtOn.

STUDENTS WORRY
OVER PRINCETON
TWO SPORT RULE
Regulation Limiting Ath-
letic Work Unfair, Say
Tiger Coaches
AGITATION IS STARTED

An agitation has been started at
Princeton against the two-sport rule,
which bids fair to upset completely the
existing regulation, or at least greatly
modify It. The so-called two-sport rule
reads, mo student shall belong to more
than two university athletic organizations
in any one year"
Coaches and students who are interested
in winter sports are protesting against
the rule vehemently. They claim that It
greatly hnders the winter sports and is
in reality one-sport rule.
They also deny that It has achieved its
purpose of raising the scholastic standard
Of the athletes by combining their actlvi-
ties to two sports. Two-thrds of the men
in the university who are out for athletic
teams try out for two OF the four major
sports, leaving ono-third for the numer-
Gus winter sport teams
The supporters OF the winter anorts
claim that they are satisfied numericallv
but that the quality of the competition
Is greatly lessened by the working OF
the two sport rule. They claim that 81
often is In effect one sport rule. Thus
If man makes the football team in
the fall and foregoes competing In Any
of the winter sports SO as to be eligible
for crew in the spring and then fails
to make the crew he Is really the victim
of n one sport rule.
Statistics show that the average grade
of men participating in but one sport
was only slightly better than that of men
who took part in two sports. while the
average mark of eight men who, disre-
garding the two sport rule, were out for
three teams, was slightly higher than
that OF the two sport men. From this It
Is deduced that the relation between ath-
letics and scholarship is slight one.

Today will be Philadelphia Day at the

every boat owner who is in the racing
game in this vicinity and along the South

John r. Fell, n prominent yachtsman or
this city and n member OF the Corinthian
Yacht club, of Philadelphia, has placed
an order with the Sterling Engine Com
panv for q pair of model h cylinder
5O-Sj horsepower motors. These motors
will power the new twin screw N-bottom
express cruiser Dorothca, designed by
Murray Watts, and is now building at
the yards of the Smith & Williams Ship
building Company. of Salisbury, Md. In
addition to this order Mr. Fell has placed
another order for a 7O-horsepower engine
to be installed in his general utility craft,
Lady Betty.
Apparently the combining of three
shows into one, as Is the case this year
i'm the motorboat show holding sway this
week in New York at the Grand Central
Palace, has met with the approval OF
both the manufacturers of motorboats and
accessories and the yachting folk. Pre-
vious to this year there have been three
shows held. The first was at Toronto
Canada, then came the New York exhl-
bition and last the one at Chicago. The
New York was the big show. but at the
same time the exhibitors took in all three
shows.

1O-CENT BASEBALL? NEVER!
Percy Haughton Says Sport Is Too
Expensive to Reduce Prices

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. president
Percy d. Haughton, of the Boston Braves,
says 10 cent baseball is impossible. He
said today:
"Major league baseball is too high
grade and n too expensive sport to be
placed upon a 10-cent basis. even for
bleacher seats. The patrons of the game
realize this and hence do not demand 1t,
"I fully believe that the millions who
annually attend the games i'm the two
major leagues prefer present prices and
the present quality of baseball rather
than to agitate a reduction which, even
though the agitation were successful
would inevitably mean baseball of a lower
grade"

one arm when his body caused the bar

Anyhow, rumors OF this peculiar style
of high jumping reached tine Olympic au-
thorities~at Stockholm. They could not
disqualify HORNE because of his method
of jumping, but they did refuse 10
permit him to move one standard as he
did in this country. Furthermore, they
took the precaution to provide Il bar so
constructed that it would not sag. The
moment any undue weight was put upon
it 1t bounced off the pegs. This was the
explanation given by other high jumpers
why HORNE could not reach the record
breaking heights he did on the Pacific
coast.
