TRIPLE ALLIANCE BETWEEN
 LEADING COLLEGES
Chances of CorneiIs Appearing on
 Harvard's Schedule Indefinite.

While Harvard, Yale and Princeton will continue to foster athletic rela- tions with the other colleges that are rated Ss their patural opponents. the Big Three will find themselves self sufficient when it comes to staging the more important competitive con- ficts in the major sports.
 When the 191S-1S athletic season swings into place it will not be sur priSing to see Harvard Yale, Harvard Princeton and Yale-Princeton com petitions in all the major sports, which include football, baseball row ing, track athletics and hockey. These games will furnish the most import ant matches for the varsity teams in all sports. and the three universities will have no more trouble then than they have now in filling in the rest of the dates to suit themselves
 The breaking of Harvard-Cornell rowing relations, after 12 years of crew races. points to the rearrange schedules. From the mass of diplo- matic explanations that have follow ed this break. it is difficult to discover just where the fault lies. Harvard says that it couldn't row so late as Cornell wished, and Cornell says it offered to modify the conditions of the race for the convenience of Harvard The fact remains, though, that Har- yard refused to row Cornell and that Cornell promptly arranged Yale Cornell crew race on the date for which the Crimson was ostensibly angling. It is probable that the athle- tic authorities of neither university were very anxious to continue row ing relations.
 The chances of Cornell appearing on the Harvard crew schedule next year are rather indefinite. It is hinted that the annual Harvard-Princeton race. which now takes place in April, will be shifted to May in 1918. and thus be given the place formerly held down by the Ithacan crew. Harvard would then row against Annapolis for it's April date.
 Harvard engages with Yale in every major sport at present and Yale com- petes with Princeton in all the impor tant branches. The missing link in the arrangement of the Big Three just now is a Harvard-PrincetOn dual track meet. Cornell has the track date with Harvard at present. and will proba b1y have it in 1918, when the current agreement terminates. After that a Harvard-Princeton meet each spring instead of a Harvard-C Cornell match, Is likely to take place.

COLLEGE MINES HAVE
 STARTED PRACTICE.
Battery Men Working Out in Cages
 at Various Schools.


 College baseball is already under way in several of the cages. Columbia is practicing daily under Coach Coak- ley, Hughie Duffy has summoned his Harvard candidates, Bill Clark is at work at Princeton, and Brown has been busy for the last few days.
 Captain Eddie Driggs of Princeton expects a fast nine, although his team has suffered greatly by graduation. The principal task will be to develop a pitching staff, Link, who carried most of the work last season, has gone. R. L. Thompson is a veteran of other seasons and from the former freshmen G. w ParnaIee and c. H. Savagaex, a staff will be picked.
 Unless a catcher is found Driggs will go from stortstop to behind the bat Scully is a veteran first baseman, but the only other available men are the outfelders-Lee, Heating and Tibbett The most promising of the men are Bade, Banham, Hewett, Madden and Tyler.
 Brown will have a nine that will compare favorably with the football squad of last fall. Every position will be filled by a veteran. The pitching staff will have Denison, Richards and Flanders all experienced twirlers. De from the academy with a big reputa- tion on the mound, and Fuller is an- other good pitcher
 Fienberg and Donovan will fight it out for the catching position. David son at third and Murray at second are fixtures, and there are several capable men, for the other inf1eId positions. The outfeld will be taken care of by Captain Ormsby. Robertson and Mur- phy.

YANKEES cHEERED BY
 VETERANS SIGNING CONTRACTS
Mooridge, Walters and High Lined Up
 Marking Time for Trip South.

Marking time for the big start to the spring training camp at Macon. Ga. the military soul of Captain T. L. Huston, Of the Yankees. was cheer ed the other day by the arrival of the signed contracts of three very impor- tant cogs of Bill Donovan's 1917 Amer lean League pennant entrants. All of them are veterans. vital to the success of the club.
 The three contracts that arrived pore the signatures of Hughie High. Al walters and George Mogridge High was one of the best all round outfield- CTS in the American League a year ago. Walters, a kid catcher, made a name in one brief campaign that He didn't get an opportunity to ap- pear so often as the Windy City star but in his limited opportunities he more than made good.
 A Fine Schooling. Walters proved himself capable of upholding his end in the fastest com pany. His was a schooling far better than anything that could have been accomplished in a minor league Ev- eryone connected with the Yankees is willing to go broke on the opinion that Walters will be one of the greatest catchers the Johnson circuit has ever seen before another campaign winds up.
 As to Mogridge. he was one of the cleverest southpaw pitchers in the junior circuit last season. He proved himself particularly poisonous to the Chicago and Detroit clubs. Like most of the other Yankee stars he was un- fortunately, the victim of an accident that ruined his effectiveness.
 Early in the season Mogridge strain ed a Hgament in his pitching arm. He came back in few weeks, but was able to stand the gaff for only a few innings at time. Toward the end of the season he began to get right and then he stood such redoubtable teams as the White Sox and the Red Sox on their heads.
 Has Good Arm.
 Hughie High is one of the sweetest little outfelderS who ever appeared in a New York uniform. Possessed of wonderful judgment of fly balls, he can either come in or go out almost with the surety of a Speaker More over, he has the art of throwing down to a science. High has the difficult patrol of the sun field, yet he plays the beat as Willie Keeler used to play at the old Hilltop.
 And in spite of the cruel glare he hits up to the average clip for out walters in the league After he gets on he knows what to do with himself He is a base runner of note
 The acquisition of Walters, Mogridge and High leaves Donovan with an all- star cast to begin his drive for the 1917 pennant. Only three of the army of Yankees still are unsigned, and none Paddy Bauman, utility player, Dan ripple, a player who was farmed out last year, and nameless outfielder who wears a "badger' haircut.

BOYCOTT AGAINST THE
 HIGHER PRICED FooDsTUFFs

 in New York.

New York. Feb. 22.-Hundreds of in- spectors from various city departments were at work throughout the city all day in an effort to obtain all informA- ton possible for presentation to the mayor and board of estimate tomor- row. Some of them reported that de- cayed vegetables were being sold on the East Side to persons too poor to buy decent food
 The presence of the inspectors ap- parently had no sobering effect on the East Side housewives who proclaimed q boycott against the higher priced foodstuffs. In many instances women who had not been informed of the boy colt and were seen emerging from shops with foodstuffs were set upon and beaten by members of their own sex. A number of arrests were made but these were not confined to any one section, as the boycott appeared to have spread to all the poorer dis tricts of the greater city.

New London's First Stacker Known as the "Rubber Man" In the South.

Joe Rodriguez is playing a wonder full game at first base for the Orien- tals in Havana He has a tremendous reach and gets many a throw that another first baseman would miss. He is known among the native fans as the rubber man" on account of his ability to stretch and gather in the bad throws to first base. He is un- doubtedly the best baseman that ever played on the island. He is the young ster that Joe Massageur had with the Havana Reds when that team toured the United States couple of years ago.
