Out of the mass of victories and dee
feats that the college crews encounter
ed in the season of 1916 stands tho
triumph OF Jim Ten Eyck's Syracuse
part of the year the Princeton crew
doomed up as the best through its vic<
tories over Yale. and Harvard, and ite
feat of winning the Childs Cup regatta
from Annapolis, Columbia and Penn
sylvania on the Schuylkill. But the de-
cisive defeat that was administered ia
the Tiger oarsmen by Courtney's Cor
nell eight on Lake Cayuga more than
clouded their title to supremacy.
Syracuse won at Poughkeepsie in
manner that left little doubt as to the
best crew Of the year. This disciples of
"Old Jim Ten Eyck also accounted
for the Junior eight event at Pough-
keepsie and the same Varsity boat
defeated. the Naval Academy on the
Severn. Princeton had the strongest
crew that has represented the Tiger in
stftution. in some years. The oarsmen OF
Old Nassau alSOS defeated Harvard de-
cisively on Lake Carnegie.
Cornell had varied fortunes and mis-
fortunes. T1lefCourtney crew won
brilliant victory over Princeton and
Yale at ithaca, but their defeat at
Poughkee ,9where they were regard
ed as possfoIs winners, and their utter
rout at the hands of Harvard on the
Charles, left a large blot on their rec
ord! Although Harvard lost to Prince
ton, the dearest wish Of the Cambridee
undergraduates was fulfilled when the
Yale Varsity eight was distanccd at
New London in the annual race.
In amateur rowing the Duluth Boat
club once more swept the field in the
national championship regatta winning
almost everything in sight except the
champion single SOULS event, which
was captured by Tom Rooney of the
Ravenswood Boat club after many
years of fr1litlcssl endeaVor.

ger Sparks has booked for December

man who tried to escape war by hid
ing behind woman's skirt. Mar
guerite Christy and Robert Wallace

does not ask her to set a date for the
wedding. War is declared. Because
single males are to be called first, he
now hides behind woman's S skirt and
insists on an immediate marriage.
Marguerite is intensely patriotic and
does active work in recruiting. Her
young men friends and relatives all
enlist-except her husband. Finally
she learns why he married her She
determines to make man Of him for
the sake of the little life that is to
come, and she succeeds. A passion
of patriotim is born in Robert Wal
lace heart and he gives himself un-
reservedly to the service of his coun-
try. Great heights of nobility, sacri-
flee and patriotic fervor are reached
in this sublime photodrama.
