CURIOUS !ANECDOTE.
How Napoleon Was Answered in
Snow-swept Russia.

Snow-swept Russia.
AS we chased across the Russian
steppes in a snow storm on the heels
of the grand dukes retreat, we
thought of Napoleon, says the Chris
tial Herald. To think of Napoleon
was conventional, but we thought OF
him in this way: We marvelled how,
in the winter-a Russian winter
which we were now seeing for the
first time-Napoleon was able to
make the campaign to far-off Mos
cow in days when automobiles and
railroads did not exist! But, miles
away from these snow-swept Russian
plains, | thought again of them and
Of Napoleon, though in different
way. One remembered that high
church official issued an attack upon
Napoleon, and that when news of it
was brought to the conqueror. he
sneered: Does the old fool think
that his mouth is going to make the
muskets drop out of the hands of my
soldiers?" And then, as one thinks
again of the snow-swept Russian
plains, of Napoleon retreating from
Moscow, of his soldiers freezing, fall
ing by the road. the muskets drop
ping from their hands . one won

YOUNG AHEARN DONE
AS A PRIZE FIGHTER

New York. March 24-Young Ahearn
has Joined the ranks of "has-wuzzers."
The blow which convinced New York
fistic fans that Ahearn Is through was
delivered by the Zulu Kid recently in
Brooklyn ring, when he knocked Ahearn
out in the seventh round. And now
Ahearn admits that his day as a top
notcher is past.
Ahearn was rated in England as the
best all-around boxer and fighter in the
business ~ many English critics dur
ing the time he toured Europe. He was
even suggested as the logical man for
Jess Willard to meet, but the critics who
rated him as such had never lamped
Willard.
To Mike Gibbons goes the real credit
for putting a sudden stop to Ahearn's
career. The shifty Michael knocked
Ahearn out in one round in St Paul. Up
to that time Ahearn was rated as a dan
gerous contender for middle and light
heavyweight honors. But now he has
been laid low by the Zulu Kid, who is
little better than a third-rater.
II guess I might just as well hang up
the gloves said Ahearn recently. II
can't stand the gaff any more"

TEN EYCK HOT after
ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP
Syracuse Coach Hopes to Have Win
ming Oarsmen on Hudson Course.

Coach Jimmy Ten Eyck, of the Syra-
cuse Navy. is looking ahead to another
championship. During the winter he has
put his oarsmen through an exceptionally
thorough preliminary drill and the work
has progressed so well that great things
are being predicted for the Syracusians
In the coming Poughkeepsie regatta
All the members of the victorious 1916
crew have not reported but 1t Is expected
that the full quota Of oarsmen will be at
work soon. Frank Williams, who pulled
No In the big boat a year ago, has
been unable to report. Pete Wallis, No.
a year ago. is also among the missing.
Because Coach Ten Eyck is by no
means certain that these men will be
available, every effort is being made to
cultivate other men for these important
Positions. 1t is thought that a complete
reorganization will be necessary.
Art Osman. who rowed No. a year
ago and who stroked the varsity the pre-
vious year, has been tried on the other
side of the boat. Coach Ten Eyck is
making many other changes of similar
sort that he may give the Orange the
strongest possible combination for the
big regatta on the Hudson.

COLLEGES IN EAST
EXPECT GOOD CREWS

New York. March 4.--Despite the loss,
through graduation. of many veteran
oarsmen, the big colleges of the East
are expected to turn out some unusually
capable crews this year. With the ex-
ception of Cornell all of the big varsity
crews are now on the water out OF
doors. The Ithacans are still handi-
capped by being compelled to work 1T
the rowing machines owing to weather
conditions.
Princeton's crew. with Ave veterans on
hand. Is fast rounding into condition.
Pennsylvvania's eight will be one of the
heaviest in the East this year. as the
men average 1S5 pounds. Yale has vast
supply Of rowing material and Columbia
with only three vacancies to fill, has
bright prospects
At Syracuse. with the Ice fast break
ing up at Onondaga Lake. the Navy
is enjoying outdoor practice. Coach Ten
Eyck has had his crews out of doors

DANNY MORGAN Strong
FOR PRESENT CHAMPS
Levinsky's Manager Resent, Belief
They Are Dancers, Not Hitter.

New York, March 24-Danny Nor
gan. who pilots the hard working Bat
Levinsky. believes that the fighters of
today are superior to the fighters of
the past. Danny will find many a fol-
lower of the game who will give him
an argument. because many believe
That the present day pugs are tango
artists compared to the rugged bat
tiers of few years ago. But here's
Danny'sI view, in part:
where do they get this stun about
present day boxers being inferior to
the Old-time boys? I can't see it with
a field glass. I think the class of
boxers is getting better and 1 believe
that the topnotchers of today are far
better than the champions Of other
years.
"Of course, think Bat Levinsky is
the greatest fighter OF his weight in
the world. but I'm not arguing to
press agent the Battler Take john
ny kilbane. for instance. No feather
weight of the past had anything on
klloane as he stands today. He Is in
a class by himself He has a knock
out punch and there isn't a cleyerer
boy in the feather class in the whole
world.
Look at Welsh. Gibbons, Leonard,
Herman and some more of 'em. They
may not have great regulations as
knockerouts. but I think that is be-
cause boxers in general have per-
fected the art of self-defense. The
game is better because of this. You
can't compare an all-around offensive
and defensive boxer of this age with
the old-timer. who did nothing but
rush and slug. Brawn and brains are
both we'll represented in our modern
boys"

heavier men. He says:
Il have realized for some time that
the small man In the college rowing
game stood but little chance. I said
some time ago that I would like TO see
the colleges inaugurate a race for light
crews. Yale, always progressive, agreed
that the light oarsman should have his
day as well as the heavyweight. Yale
then challenged us TO row a 15o-pound
crew race on May 10 on the Schuykill
River. and Pennsylvania has accepted.

give the smaller oarsmen a chance to

DANGEROUS
TO USE DIRECT PASS

rw York, March 4.-When the rule
owing the use of the direct pass from
me center to any member Of the back
field was incorporated in the football
code. coaches all over the country i'm
nlediately took advantage Of it and plays
we're invented by the score In which the
direct pass was a feature.
But after trying out the direct pass in
many different ways majority OF the
rosches have come to believe that it is
dangerous to the attacking team. Al
though 1t saves time. taking only half
as long as a pass which the quarterback
handles, there is more chance for FUN
hing, and the responsibility added to the
duties of the center Is a heavy one. Ev-
ery pass must be perfect or the play will
be gummed up.
So many OF the plays that were in
vented have been dropped by the coaches
now and other plays in which the GUAR
terback handles the ball as of old have
been substituted and are being used in
the spring practice.
