The Colorado statesman., 1918-12-28

One innocent little resolution that is
always among the first to pass in both
house and senate reads like this:
THAT the hour of daily meeting of the
house Cor senate) be II o'clock noon
until otherwise ordered" Candidates
for seats in the two bodies, particular
ly the house, often rail at the late
hour set by congress for its daily ses-
sions. People back home" are apt to
think that a congressman can sleep
until IL o'clock in the morning and
meander down to the capitol. where
the wheels begin to move at noon and
stop moving usually at O'Clock in
the afternoon. But the new men who
come to Washington filled with burn
ing desire to start legislating at or o
o'clock in the morning soon realize
that for most of them legislating Is the
least of their worries. They are glad
to have those hours before noon in
which to attend to departmental mat

The Colorado statesman., 1918-12-28

Those who were in the galleries of
the house of representatives on the
opening day of the session of con-
gress looked down on President Will
son and noted that he was showing
age. While spick and span in his abb
solutely correct clothes, it was noticed
that strands Of hair were combed
across the top of his head, and If those
strands had been removed he would
have appeared as n bald-headed man.
something that has never been thought
of in connection with the president.
Then it was also noted that his hair
had turned gray very rapidly. 1t was
evident that the worries of the past
year or two have told upon him.

CORNELL VICTOR
Of BIC EVEN rs
ithaca Rowing Crew Is Far
Ahead of Others in Col
legiate Matches.

Cornell has a long lead over its
rivals in the number of intercollegi-
ate regattas won.
The Ithacans have had almost a
monopoly OF honors at Poughkeep-
sic. Since 1900 the sway Of Cornell
has seldom been broken. The tina
cans have won II Of the varsity races
in that time. Syracuse has won four.
Penn one and Columbia one. Column
bias victory in 1914 was the first at
Poughkeepsie for the Blue and White
and the second in the history of the
regatta. The Morningside Heights
students won the feature race when
the events were held at Saratoga
Georgetown, which formerly was
represented ut Poughkeepsie By
crew, has not taken part in the races
never won a varsity event on the
Hudson. but in 1908 they finished
second TO Cornell, beating Wisconsin,
Penn and Columbia in that order. In
1905 they finished third to Cornell
and Syracuse, the latter crew barely
beating them.
The regatta for 1918 has not yet
been officially called off and no ac-
ton to this end will be taken until
the sentiment of the colleges likely
TO row is obtained. Mr.. Mapes's rea-
sons for feeling doubtful about the
holding of the regatta are based upon
the expense involved more than upon
anything else. He believes all the
colleges interested in the sport viii
prefer TO row upon home waters.

BOWLERS
GETTING READY
Will Hold Big Tournament
While Entertaining Con-
gress in March.

New York, Jan. 17.-Cineinnati is
sure TO have another banner tourna-
ment for the American Bowling con-
gress in February and March. August
Hermann, chairman of the National
Baseball commission. has consented
to take hold of the tourney.
A decade ago Garry put on the only
tournament in the history of the \.
B. c. that made a thin dime, and Gin
cinnati in 1903 made several dollars.
All other tournaments since the A B.
c. was organized have proved losing
ventures. The Detroit bowlers know
this, having staged a tourney in 1910.
Ten years ago last spring Bob Bry-
son. OF Indianapolis, resigned as
president that Hermann might be
elected president of the 4. B. c. to
boom the tourney, which had been
awarded to st. Louis. The 1907 tour
ney was held in St Louis and Garry's
supporters put on miniature presi-
Dental campaign. including badges
the size of a dinner plate
In addition TO having a record entry
Hermann provided entertainment for
the pin-spillers that has been the sub
ject of many an alley tanning bee
since, also managing the national
event so that it showed a profit.
Three hundred and six five-man
teams bowled in Cincinnati in 1908.
while this year secretary a. L. Lang
try expects the entry list to show
more than 200 teams when the clos
ing date arrives.
