Paups A. M. E. church, where she was
greeted with an immense audience,
which gave her great ovation. She
told in thrilling manner of the con-
ditions confronting the black people
of the southland, and bitterly assaiied
the double standard of morality for
men, for, said she, "every child has
the right to be born right and we'll and
no man who sows wild oats should
expect or be allowed to become the
husband of a virtuous girl" Preced-

Harvard Plans for Wider
Field of Opponents
ThOle Pins to Go

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. i0.-Severai
important changes are to take place IN
college rowing circles during this and
the 1918 season, among them being the
elimination of Cornell as permanent
opponent for the Harvard crew, the en-
trance OF Princeton into the Pough-
keepsie regatta, a wider field of oppo-
rents for the Harvard crew and the
wiping out of thole pins in American
college rowing.
Cornell wishes to row the Crimson on
May %, while Harvard wants to row on
May Is. Conell's reasons are plaus-
ible--her big spring regatta and other
festivities come on that day-and she
has usually rowed Harvard up there on
that date. Harvard, on the other hand,
considers her early season races pri-
msrily as a means Of developing the
crew for the Yale race, and considers II
necessary to have her May race early
in the month. Cornell's position as a
permanent" opponent makes it dim,
cult to shift plans, and hence it Will
not be long before Cornell Is dropped
for at least a year. The former TREND
w relations between the two are known
70 all interested in college rowing, but
to Harvard the Yale race remains-and
probably will remain for some time
as the seasons goal.
Harvard's system of training is being
hampered by the Cornell race. Under
the Herrick -Haines regime the Cornell
race was shifted one week forward.
Cornell did not object last year, as the
rnce was here. This year she finds an
objection. But Harvard, having won the
last two races, Is in a position to die
tate terms-and then she has the same
explanation to make TO CornelPs row.
ing authorities that was made to the
football authorities when the lthacans
asked for a game on the 1917 schedule.
The Attitude of Harvard
Harvards attitude in football, hockey
and baseball, where there are a large
number of contestants, is that two teams
are considered important At the present
time Yale is the opponent against whom
Harvard is directing her etforts-in
football. hockey and baseball Princeton
is, at present, the other. Harvard does
not like TO play any other team too
often, because it gives the contest an
air OF permanence which hampers the
DEVELOPMENT of the team for the final
contests Of the season and makes 1t
difficult to make changes. This was
why Harvard stopped playing Dart
mouth and why Cornell was dropped
from the 1917 football schedule. This
is why Cornell will be dropped from
the rowing schedule either this year
or next. For the same reason Harvard
races Annapolis or Pennsylvania every
few years in place Of Princeton.
once Cornell is dropped it will proba-

Commissioner Thomas ". White,
of The Bronx Park Department, is
planning an ice carnival, to take place

A. W. Moeller, secretary of the East
ern Skating Association and represen-
tative on the A. A. U. Board of Gov
ernors from the international Skating
Union, that they will assist him in
making the carnival huge success.

selected to make the preliminary ar
rangements for the carnival are

Many Changes Expected
In Collegiate Rowing

bly, be several years before relations
are resumed again, as Harvard tound
the trip TO Ithaca expensive, and the
economic consideration is important:
Columbia has asked TO row Harvard
early in May, and if Cornell and har-
ward do not come 70 terms II is hkely
that race with the New YORK ere"
will be arranged. When the advances
from Columbia were first received Har-
ward considered rowing both Columbia
and Cornell, but this is not likely now,
as Coach Bill Haines is much against
racing Princeton. Columbia and Cornell
at two-week intervals. Under the sys-
TEN of training used by the Harvard
coaches the time between the Prince.
ton race and the second contest OF
the season is used in experimenting
and shifting the men about. IL is a
valuable part of the preparation. and
would be eliminated if the Crimson
was forced to row so frequently. At
present il looks as though Columbia
might be the Crimson's opponent in the
spring, the race to be rowed either
May IL or 10.
ADOPT Swivel Oarlock
The change to the American swivel
oarlock will come at Yale and Pennsyl-
vania within two years. Pennsylvania
has already decided to try out the
American swivel oarlock, although the
thole pins have not been altogether
Abandoned. The English thole pins
were established at Pennsylvania by
Vivian Nickalls, and at Yale by Guy
Nickalls. Harvard, Cornell, Columbia
and Princeton resorted TO the Amerl-
can oarlock many years ago. Coach
Wright, at Pennsylvania, Is in favor OF
the American oarlock, but wishes to
show the superiority of his choice be-
fore abandoning the clumsy English
rigging.
Yale uses the thole pins because Guy
Nickalls never used any other. He
raced in England with thole pins, al
though the inferiority of the pins to
oarlocks has been shown time and
again. At the English Henley the Brit
ish crews have allowed the Grand Chal-
lenge Cup to be taken out of the coun-
try time and again, and always by
crews using oarlocks. Until Yale
forces her coach to adopt the more er-
fcient rigging she will find it hard to
beat Harvard. Harvard has wiped out
her old system Of training and installed
a regular method OF preparing her oars
mon for the four-mile race. Nickalls
learned how TO row from Harvard's
coach. Bill Haines. Unless he gets a
little more instruction from improved
methods he has little chance Of proving
anything at New London.
Haryard's oarsmen will start regular
work on February 70. Voluntary rowing
will continue until then. The freshmen
will report for regular work on Feb
ruary IL. The tank will be used n
great deal this year. At the present
time the freshmen are receiving the
greater part Of the attention from Bill
Haines. He Is getting them started on
the right track From twenty to thirty
Of the youngsters report every after
noon for voluntary rowing.

Vital Interest Lacking
i'm Bout of Fulton
with Champion
By w. o. McGEEHAN

The tentative matching Of Jess Will
lard and Fred Fulton for the heavy
weight championship might have caused
considerable excitement some time
hack. But just about this time the an
nouncement that a quarter ton OF
Drawn and muscle with considerable
surplus fat is about to comfort in a
ring at Madison Square Garden does
not seem Of any vital international I'M
portance.
However, the heavyweight champio
ship bout Is 10 be perpetrated, unless
ths Governors request for the abolition
Of the boxing game goes through. Even
the suppression o. boxing In New ORR
NAV moi prevent the deed. Milwaukee
and points West will be willing to ham
die the bout.
One thing that might be said in favor
Of the proposed match is that 1t Will be
the heaviest heavyweight bout ever
staged. The gross tonnage OF willard
and Fulton will be greater by many
pounds than that Of Dunkhorst AND
Fjtzsimmons. The combined weights OF
Jeffries and Johnson will be far below
the total Of the newest contenders Tor
the title.
Fulton probably will tip the beam at
2lb rounds after a full meal at the
board OF the Laird Of Goshen, n. T.
willard now weighs in the neighbor-
hood of ESQ pounds on the hoof' ac-
eording to Chicago experts who are
used 70 making quick and accurate es-
timstss Of beef.
n there should be double knock
down, such as the one IN the RIVERS
wolgast fight, not even Madison Square
Garden will be able to stand the con-
cussion.
Willard himself is not Of pugna-
cious disposition. He is one of the fsw
pugilists who are temperamentally In
clined toward peace. But his managers
will see 10 it that he has at least one
more fight.
Willard is gathering no moss during
the winter. This is Of no great con-
Germ TO the champion, who has at least
a Kansas million tucked away in a
sock. But it annoys Tom Jones and

owners are prominent as nominators.
and there is also a remarkable number
Of newly imported dogs among the
entries, including British champions in
different sporting, transporting and toy
breeds.
A tabulated list of the entries By
breeds furnished by Superintendent
George W. Gall reveals total OF 1888
dogs to be benched, which, by duplica-
tons, make an aggregate entry Of g.
1875. This is an increase over last year
of 1888 actual dogs and of $50 entries,
which indicates that the fixture should
be a great social and sporting success
and one of the largest dog shows ever
given by the Westminster Kennel Club.
The entries for the three pack spe-
cials, for English foxhounds, American
foxhounds and beagles, are not in
cluded in the tabulation, as the entries
have not yet closed. This means about
