Today's exhibition showed rather
conclusively that the Middies are a

were they hopelessly outclassed until
their guests star man, Tichinsky. had

of the pace their opponents had set.

Princeton Reported Dissatisfied.

On the present outlook there is not
much chance that Harvard OF Yale will
get back into intercollegiate compete
ton until after the war. Princeton is
not satisfied with present condition of

glad to get back in the field with it's
regular quota of teams were il in a po-
sition to. 1t has been whispered that
Princeton is bound to act with Yale and
Harvard on the basis of some agree
ment reached between the three uni
versities. One man prominent in the
workings of athletics among the big
institutions says:
From what l can understand l. think
that Princeton is thoroughly dfssatis-
fed with the situation and would De
glad to get into competition. The same
is true OF the undergraduates and many
of the alumni of Yale If certain menu
bers of the Yale faculty and Harvard
could be convinced they ought to re-
sumo sports then / feel certain that
Princeton would be more than glad 10
follow suit. Intramural sport was more
or less Of a failure at all three institu-
: tons, and, in the opinion of the major

Perhaps one of the most astonishing
general statements of the past week
was that in the great majority of in
StftutlonS maintaining athletics last fall
more than the average number of cam
dldates were out for the teams. Par.
ticuiar was this true of foot ball. Prac-
tically all the big schools represented

squads that had ever tried for their
teams worked for positions. The eliTni-
ration of stars by reason of so many

TO PAY MORE
FOR SPORT NEXT YEAR
Increase in Price of Equipment and
Club Dues to Make Links
Game Expensive.

That golf materials and equipment
are going to see big jump in price
next season is indicated by the notice
just sent out by large Manhattan
golf supply house to the professionals
of the country that the price of plain
hickory club shafts will be 30 cents
each after January /. A dozen years ago
they sold at % cents. This is sign of
what may happen in other lines. Speak
ing of the effect of war taxes on golf
ing expense, the Chicago Journal says:
Some of the links frequenters are
going to get badly bunkered, for the
government in casting about for vari-
ious means of raising money to carry
on the war has seen to it that the deal
er as well as the player is not over
looked.
Club members will also have to
dance to the new tune, which provides
that beginning November / last, 10
per cent tax will be levied on all dues Of
more than s12 year. Exceptions are
to be made of fraternal organizations
operating for the benefit of members
exclusively.
The clubs of various descriptions
that will be affected by the new law
will run into thousands. Every golf
or country club will be included The
law provides for a tax on the indi-
vidual. but 1t will probably result in
the club collecting the money. which in
turn will hand it over to the govern
ment.
Take for instance, q club with dues
of $50 year and a membership of
900. The total tax alone for member
ship dues would amount to $1,000. Some
organizations have double that num-
Der of members, whose dues approach
nearer the 500 mark than $50.

Varied Conditions in Colleges.

No general statement of conditions in
the colleges could be devised which
would fit all cases. Problems confront.
ing some of the institutions are not en-
countered at other places. and in other
cases the very factors which MAY work
for the detrtment of sports somewhere
else are turned to good service. How.
ever, the one big question is the matter
OF finances. The lack of money to carr
ry out usual policies is going to be fe1t
more strongly as the war goes on, and
in most of the cases each college Will
drop or. curtaii the branch of sport-to
which 1t is not particularly adapted or
which it finds the least beneficial These
things being considered, it might be
well to let those in charge of athletics;
at many of the institutions do little
talking about specific cases. Here is
what some of them have to say:
Fender of Dartmouth:
we intend to go through with our
standard policy in all branches OF
sports. Our minor branches of athletics
are just as self-supporting as the major
and we do not intend to deny any OF
our men an opportunity to get the de-.

discipline and training for actual COM

Just how sports will fare in 1918, as
compared with their record in the
twelvemonth now waning cannot be
foreto)d, but there seems to be no well
founded reason for doleful predictions.
On the contrary the governing organi-
cations of nearly all amateur and pro-
optimism in outlining their plans for
next year. The big leagues have voted
against shortening their seasons in
spite of actual and prospective losses
of players to military service. The
outlook for horse racing is for even
more Improvement in the sport than
was in evidence last year. The national
directing body of lawn tennis has de-
cided to re-establish all the usual
championship events with the proceeds
going to war relief and the same course
may yet be decided upon in respect to
golf.
The prominence given sports compe-
tition in the programs for training the
nations new soldiers at the various
camps and environments where partici-
patton in athletics of some sort is al
most mandatory illustrates the value
placed upon it by service officials and
is in line with the Endorsement of
sports by President Wilson last spring,
when he said:
Il hope that sports will be continued
SO far as possible as a real contribu-
ton to the national defense, for our
young men must be made physically fit
and exhibit the alertness which we are
proud to believe to be characteristic of
young men,"
All signs strengthen the belief that
the country has learned the necessity of
athletics in the training gifts soldiers

and the value of amusement and recrea-
ton to promote the mental welfare of
the stay in detracting from
the horrors OF war.
In the event that the Washington
club is unable to make arrangements
to return to Augusta. as now seems
, likely, Clark Griffith will face the task
of finding another location in the sout
to train his ball players. and with but
little time to do it. The manager has
not given up hope of again visiting the
Georgia health resort, but reports of
the lack of housing facilities due to
the loca ton there of Camp Hancock, at
which nearly $4,000 selectmen are
being coverted into soldiers, make this
exceedingly doubtful.
GrifY was well satisfied with Augusta
as a training camp for his athletes last
spring, the weather being uniformly
adequate as regards rooms, although
the food provided did not entirely meet
his requirements. He has planned all
along to go there again next year, and
remedy the table deficiencies by having
articles lacking on the menu last
however. it seems doubtful that he will
be able to find place there for his
men to sleep and the shortage of GER
tain foods and the congestion of rail-
way traffic considerably complicate the
training table problem.
Griffi said yesterday he had no idea
where he would take his men next
spring If unable to return to Augusta,
but said he felt confident he could find
a suitable place. He received offers
from number of southern cities last
winter before he decided upon Augusta
and intends getting, into eommunica-

SEPARATE PROBLEM
FOR EACH COLLEGE

MANY TO CURTAIL PLANS
BY H. C. BYRD.

In the crisis faced by inter-
collegiate athletics during the
war each college must work out
III Its OWN way its own particu-
lar problems. While the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic AS
ISOLATION last week adopted reso-
lutions urging the continuance of
sports, there was brought out and
emphasized many times during
the three sessions that no hard
and-fast policy TO suit all institu-
tons could be formed, that each
would have to face its own
problems and solve them accord
ing TO conditions affecting the
particular case.
Generally speaking, all colleges seem
determined TO carry ont athletic poli-
cies as near the usual standard as con-
ditions permit However. notwithstand-
ing that a great many representatives.
particularly from the west, signified
their intention to go through the pres
ent year with about the usual contests
in all branches. several others main
tanned that curtailment in some is abb
solutely necessary.
Dartmouth and Pennsylvania are two
of the big eastern institutions which
plan to 60 ahead with business
usual" as their slogan. Little mention
has been made by any representative of
Il western institution OF cutting down
curtailment some good reason has been
advanced.
