New, York, Jan. 11.-Developments following the charges that Tom Roo ney, national amateur single scul,inS champion. was professional athlete uiscioseo recently the fact that know ledge of Rocney's occupation as games instructor in the dena rtn,ent or parks here had been freely circu- 1ated in the hathhouses along the Harlem river for many months and IL was even stated that it was inn possible for members of the Ravens wood Boat club not to have known or the true state of affairs.
 When this information was brought .o the attention of James A. PiIking- ton, president of the National Asso- ciation of Amateur Oarsmen, he said es enat Tor his part he knew of no rule or the association which would make It possible to take action against tba ciuos, although if the officials of the havenswood club who certified Roo

 Referring to the assertions in de- 1ense of Rooney that his occupation as a coach of basketball and baseball teams should not make him a pro- fessional oarsman, an officer of the N. A. A. O. said that this was just the issue which the association was best prepared to meet.
 It Is the man who is engaged as physical specialist who, above all others, should be kept out of anna feur athletics" said this officer. "The man who works as clerk all dav mas time to practice only in his leisure hours and it is manifestly unfair to ask him to compete against a man who spends all or most of his time developing his muscles mo matter whether it be by coaching basketball or anything else"

 The Sole Survivor.
 Jack Barry, as leader of the Boston Red Sox, will be the sole surviving playing manager this next campaign
 In the remaining fifteen big league camps the destinies of each club will be directed from the bench. In spite of which there is no available reason in sight why Barry shouldn't be a suc- cess. He is smart, aggressive and well liked. The odds for success are in his favor especially if the arm of Ruth, Shore, Leonard and Mays are still hanging on between April and October.
 Which calls to mind the fact that Bill Carrigan has left the game with far less appreciation from the general public than he deserved. No one thought of him as wizard" miracle man," peerless leader" or the rest of it. But few managers have handled

A. A. U. SUSPENDS
 ADAMS AND EMES
Crack Athletes Found Guilty of
 CapitahZing Sport Fame

New York, Jan. 11.-The Amateur Athletic Unions campaign to enforce the regulation prohibiting the cap- italization of fame gained in sport was inaugurated last night with the disqualification of Platt Adams of the New York A. C., and Edward Emes of the Bronx Church House.
 Adams is the worlds champion standing high jumper having won that title at the last Olympic games in Stockholm. He also has won nine- teen national titles. Fines too is famed high jumper. Although he only recently earned his junior na- tional title he is considered by many experts as one of the best in his speciality in the country
 The disqualification of Adams and Fines came at meeting of the reg lstratlon committee of the Metropol- ltan Association of the Amateur Ath- let1c Union. The committee held that Adams and Fines were capitalizing their fame in selling commodities as- soc1ated intimately with athletics and that their success in athletics led to their entering this business.
 Adams owns a general sporting goods store in Newark, and Fines is employed by a firm in The Bronx which sells jewelry and medals such as are used as prizes for athletic events.

Williams Is Vanquished in Opening Game for Eli Scven-Tigers Prove Easy for Dartmouth.

New Haven. Jan. 11.-Althoueh weakened by the loss of Captain Mur- ray Jacob. and Buchanan. Yale last night defeated Williams to 3 in the opening hockey game of the season. The visitors forced the play, driving seventeen shots which goal tender York warded off in the first period
 Armour's goal soon after the open ing of the second half was the pret- tiest play of the game. Bierwirth Of Yale scored the second goal for Will Hams when the puck accidentally rolled off his stick into the Yale goal in his attempt to block Williams scrimmage in front of the Eli netting
 The Dartmouth hockey team played its first game of the season at St. Nicholas rink last night and gave Princeton big surprise, easily de- feating the Tigers by to score. The skaters from New Hampshire excelled in team work and passing
 and their defense was solid enough to smash up Princetor's combination play beyond recognition. The later collegians seemed backward in their development and did not display the form which they should show later.

 Hanover N. H., Jan. '11-Before a mass meeting of Dartmouth students in College hall last night pr c. E. Bolser, president of the Athletic coun- cil, announced that Dartmouth col lege proposed to resign from the New England Intercollegiate Athletic as- sociation The resignation was not offered through any desire on the part of Dartmouth athletic officials to sever relationship with her New Eng land competitors, but as a result of statements from the smaller colleges in the association that Dartmouth had outgrown her rivals and no longer was on par with them in athletics.
 The student body indorsed the plan of the council. and it was voted that a letter making public the proposed resignation be sent to John Storer, president of the association.

Form.

One definition of form has been given to this effect: Form is the brief interval between getting ready and going stale.'
 highest test of form is not a brief interval,' but an extended period, such as Cobb Speaker, Evans, Travers, Norris, Williams or other champions know. Cobb's brief interval" lasted nine years, which, as you might con- lecture, is considerable interval Ad- joined to the above epigram might be this: ''The test is in the average over the long route."
 What Is Courage?
 A friend Of ours, for whose opinion we have abiding respect, gives willingness as fitting definition of courage.
 Another gives determination = which is much the same
 We have always believed that eff1- ciency is a big part of courage, in that efficiency produces confidence, which is one of the main foundations of ourage
 Here is another definition: Courage is the process of taking the break of the game as it comes and giving the best one has on through to the finish, regardless of the score.'
 Here is still another: Courage is keeping ones head up in the face of Fate, high water and all he'll"
