Princeton and Harvard viii Send Re-

Both Harvard and Princeton will
probably send relay teams and track
stars to the Pennsylvania relay games
on Franklin field next April. A report
that the two universities were arrang-
ing dual track meet for that date is
denied by both.
Manager Clark of the Harvard track
team said the other day: II wish to
deny the rumor that Harvard will
meet Princeton in a dual meet the last
Saturday in April and withdraw from
the Penn relays. Harvard will not
meet Princeton in such games and will
probably attend the relays"
From Princeton comes word that the
Tigers and Crimson have not agreed to
meet on the track in April, although
such a report has been heard about
the university.

PINNACLE OF GOLFING FAME
Chick Evans of Chicago Performs Un-
usual Feat of Winning Open
and Amateur Titles.

Accomplishing that which no other
golfer in the world has done-winning
an open and amateur national cham
pionship in the same year-Chick
Evans of Chicago, has reached the
pinnacle of golfing fame.
His performance at Philadelphia,
where Saturday he defeated Champion
Gardner for the amateur title, was
even more meritorious than his golfng
at Minneapolis, where he won in a
field composed of the best amateurs
and professionals in the country. This
must be obvious to anyone who has
ever participated in tournament play,

ment usually is severe enough TO

CALLED POLO MOUNTS
New Nomenclature Adopted by
National Horse Show.
Association Raised Height Limit to
Conform With Requirements of
Army-ProbIem of Supply
Is Thereby SimpIified.

"Polo mounts" not polo ponies as
of old, was the caption over the COM
petitions that most interested follow
ers of the galloping game in the prize
lists for the thirty-frst national horse
show, recently held at Madison Square
| Garden.
| 1t was at the prompting of William
Hazard, secretary and treasurer of the
Polo association and president of the
Rockaway Hunting club, that the new
nomenclature has been adopted by the
National Horse Show association COM
mittee. He requested that the term
"polo mounts" be substituted for
"polo ponies in the prize list and
catalogue hereafter. There are two
classes for polo mounts, respectively,
for light and heavyweight mounts. In
each the judging will be for manners,
hardness and conformation, and the
owner or a polo club member must be
in the saddle.
At the annual meeting of 1914 the
Polo association voted to raise the
height limit, mainly to conform with
the requirements of the army and
thereby simplify the problem of
government supply Of mounts for
army players. The new rule was:
''Mounts-The height of mounts shall
not exceed 15.1 hands"
Subsequently, letter of explana-
ton was sent broadcast to the editors
and polo authorities of the newspa-
pers by III. F. Herbert suggesting the
word mounts be used hereafter in
stead of ponies. The increase in
height, besides making it easier to OBJ
tain lightweight army remounts avail
able for polo, ended the many con-
fusions due to the use of mounts that |
were palpably beyond the old 14.2'
hand limit.

Strange. as it may seem to those

The bill is similar to one approved

power to commander all American

towering the shipping board to pur-
chase in any national emergency any

SERVICE
OUTLINED IN BILL
Secretary Baker Transmits to
Senate Committee Measure
Drawn by General Staff.
WOULD TRAIN 4,O0O,0 900 MEN

Secretary Baker has transmitted the
general staff universal service bill to
the Senate military committee without
ton on the subject.
The Secretary said it was not thought
that Congress could give so intricate
problem consideration in the closing
days of this session. but suggested that
wide publicity be given the staf plan
ito the end that both Congress and the
War Department can, In any sunse-
cuent consideration given to the sub
ject, have the benefit of an enlightened.
thoughtful public opinion upon the
needs and wishes of the country"
Not Prepared to Express Opinion.
"As vet" the letter of transmittal
continues, Il am not prepared 10 say
officially for the War Department that
the need Of the country can reasonably
be said to be for 50 great an estabhsh-
ment. nor can we yet. without further
study and elaboration. be confident that
the means suggested are the most ap-
propriatc to the need which it shall be
determined wise to foresee.
In round numbers the staff plan
would supply trained force OF 5000
600 men with one year OF intensive
military instruction. 1t is estimated
by the War College that approximately
5000 boys in their nineteenth year
would be available for training annu-
ally They would, under the plan, be
liable to call to the colors until thirty
two years of age. passing after the
first eleven months of their training TO
the first reserve for the next four years
and one month. and then into the sec
ond reserve. and finally into the unor-
gained reserve until they reached the
age of forty five.
The purpose of the bill is to consti-
tute the first reserve as fully or
ganized and equipped fighting force
with a strength of 100000. ready to
respond instantly to a call to arms.
The second reserve, of equal size, but
only partly equipped. would require
some time to take the field. Eventu-
ally there would be 100000 additional
trained men ready to fill in gaps at the

Secretary Bakers letter continues:
This plan is regarded by the mill
tary experts of the general staff as
ideal. They recognize. however. that
1T involves not only radical depar-
ture from the military traditions of the
country, but that it presents a vast
scheme of organization far larger, both
in cost and results. than anything yet
seriously considered by the people Of
the United States. The general stan
believes the plan, however, to have this
merit:
That 1t can be used. In part. for the
training of a less number of men and
at less cost in proportion. so that.
should the opinion of the country,
when thoroughly informed. come to
favor the principles upon which this
measure is based. Its application could
