SPORTING GOSSIP

Washington Canoe Club experts
have made a remarkably successful
record in events In the last two
years. It IL no new thing, for
Washington men to win on foreign
fields, but II Is becoming . matter
OF course that Washington canoeists
will win in all races in which they
enter. Wagner. Birch, Rutherford,
and Eliason, along with other mem
bers Of the organization, have made
records in basketball, track and
swimming as well, so that canoe vic
tories are right in line with their
general policy.
Some two years ago three sets Of
basketball rules were adopted as
one code. The A. A. u, Y. N. c. A
and intercollegiate rules were taken
as the basis TO standardize the pres
ent rules. Recently action has been
taken to put swimming rules on q
more uniform plane. The National
Collegiate Athletic Association rules
for swimming have been adopted at
a Joint meeting with the 7. N. C. A.
rules for the high dive. Collegiate
water polo rules were adopted by both
organizations.

TELLS OF Relief
WORK IN SYDNEY

Visiting in Honolulu for her health
and accompanied by her daughter
Marguerite, Madame Moreau of Sgd
ney praises the people Of the British
colonies for the war relief work they
are doing. Madame Moreau and
daughter are guests at the Moana
hotel.
Madame Moreau says that a call to
help the French Red Cross brought
$3.50, 900, and that this money was still
coming in when she left Australia.
She and her daughter are actively
engaged in Red Cross work in Sydney
and say they would like to remain in
Honolulu to assist in the Red Cross
work here.
Just before she left Sydney Madame
Moreau and Mrs. T. Fl. Kelly, society
woman of that city, gave the benefit
entertainment for the French Red
Cross, known as Frances fete day,
which brought $4,000.

ONE CENT WILL NOT
SEND NEWSPAPERS TO
SOLDIERS IN FRANCE

According to a ruling of Postmaster
D. H. MacAdam, newspapers cannot
be sent to the soldiers with the eX
peditionary forces in France by simply
attaching a 1-cent stamp, as is the
case with magazines which carry an
authorized notice to this effect on
their front pages.
Newspapers must be wrapped and
addressed in the same order as other
mail for the expeditionary forces" he
says.
In the postal order authorizing the
sending OF the magazines to the SOL
diers without address or wrapping
newspapers are not mentioned. The
reason for this he thinks is because
newspapers can be mailed for one
cent any way, and because it would
be impossible to send them in good
conditiea without being wrapped.
