Formal Athletic
System Advisable,
Says Dean Briggs

~AMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 16.
Y Don't misconstrue Har-
wards attitude toward foot
ball last fall" said Dean Briggs,
chairman of the Harvard athletic
committee. eff we had the same
question to decide again we
would take the same action.
But now that the reserve officers
training organization is firmly
established at the university l
think that a somewhat formal
system of athletics may once
more be employed without inter-
fering seriously with military
education. The chances for a
race between crews representing
Harvard and Yale is promising,
SO are the prospects for baseball
games with some of our old
rivals"
The Harvard athletic commit
tee, at meeting Tuesday night,
is expected to hear Dean Briggs
report on the conference held at

Redland Mayor
Opens Tourney
For Bowlers

CINCINNATI, Feb 16.-The eight
American Bowling Congress opened on
sixteen new alleys at the Hamilton
County Armory here tonight with six
teen local teams rolling The initial
balls. The first balls were launched
upon the surface of the alleys after
Mayor Calvin had delivered a wclcom-
lrg address to the bowlers and the
alleys had been formally turned over
to the congress by Chairman August
Hermann, of the Cincinnati tourna-
ment committee
Bowling experts did not anticipate
large scoring during the first few davs
OF the tourney inasmuch as only local
teens are scheduled to take part up to
Tuesday evening, when a Newark. N. T..
and st. Louis team will get into the
contests.
Opening night, however, marked a.
scene long to be remembered, as
humorous bands were on hand playinA
for their favorite teams while the sew
eral thousand seats reserved for spec
tators in the rear of the alleys we're
crowded to capacity when the bowling
began.
Only one shift of five men teams
rolled tonight and only one shift will
roll tomorrow night. but thereafter a
shift will be started at p. m. and
another shift at 1915 .. m., while the
doubles and singles contests will start
at a. m., thus making continuous
bowling during the next three weeks
from a. N. until midnight

Patience Brings Victory
TO a Brooklyn Shooter
w. S. Silkworth, After Many
Failures, Wins at Traps
of N. Y. A. G.
BY J. S. Mitchell

For the first time during his career
at the Travers Island traps, William S.
Silkworth, q Brooklyn clay-bird cx-
pert, captured the much coveted high
scratch gun medal yesterday in the
regular events of the New York A. C.
shoot. For two or three seasons the
Brooklynte has been knocking at the
door Of the front brigade, but some
how the tide never seemed to flow in
his direction until yesterday. when his
unwavering persistency was rewarded
by the actual topnotch tally of 81 out
of the possible 100.
1T was a highly meritorious session
of trap work, and not only earned Silk
worth the high scratch gun honors. but
equaled the figures made a week ago
by SPOTS; that is. for club members.
When it is remembered that eight out
of the thlrty-nine shooters broke better
than "a actual, it will be seen that
Silkworth had warm time of it to
pull out in the lead.
DIR. George Fl. Martin, former
champion of the Mercury Foot, shat
tered 96, or unit less than the
Brooklyn man, while four tied for the
third place, with actual strings Of 95.
These were Ralph L. SPOTS, the former
national champion; w. B. Ogden, Frank
B. Stephenson and a Long Island shoot
er named G. Kletick.
Two Additional Brackets
Two additional brackets fell to Silk
worth: He ratified out straight 25
for the Travers Island Cup, and it
gained him a leg over the field. The
score for the Travers Island counted
for the Benefit Trophy, and Silkworth
was credited with a leg on the box at
the New York A. C. Hippodrome benefit
on March 10.
The hoodoo number of thirteen tied
for the Handicap cup with full scores
of 100. They were McCutcheon, Mar
tin, Ogden, Stephenson, Corbett, Brown,
Wilson, SPOTS, Mcmahon, Bauer, Bak
er, Anderson and Klefck. To decide
the ownership of the prize a shoot-off
of twenty-five birds was ordered, and
Baker returned the high gun tally.
There was some sharp work for the
other trophies, "straights" being the
order of the day. For the Haslin cup
the leg winners were DR.. George H.
Martin and Frank B. Stephenson. A
new recruit to the firing squad dis
tinguished himself by winning the leg
on the Club cup. He was George M.
Pynchon. He surprised the talent with
a "straight" w. B. Ogden, who has
earned his place of late among the front
line guns, won the leg on the Accumu-
lation cup, doing the trick without a

In singles match Harold l.. Taylor,
Junior metropolitan champion, defeated
Vincent Richards, national boy cham
pon, by score of Cd, To.
Only Alexander, the pcrennially
Youthful internationalist. was anywhere
near his regular game. The veteran s
rlaying was always spectacular, ana ne
was the dominating factor in the match
,n which he and Rosenbaum defeated
johnson and Irving Wright. Overhead,
Alexander was remarkably steady and
severe, handling lobs with unvarying
accuracy.
Beals Wright's work was something
of a disappointment Although he has
not been active in tournament play Tor
several years, the former national
champion and conqueror OF Norman
Brookes has been surrounded with such
a halo of greatness by those who re-
membcred him in the days when he
play yesterday was bound to suffer in
comparison There was little snap to
his strokes and while he showed much
Of his old cleverness in forcing posi-
ton, the former champion was wild
overhead and was caught out of posi-
tion many times himself.
Niles gave only rare flashes Of the
form he showed at Forest Hills last
August, when he faced Lindley Murray
inithe final round of the national SIN
giles. His work at the net was good
pected when his lack of practice is
taken into nsideration, lie and
Wright often clashed on the court in
trying to make returns.
Cragin, always on the alert for open
ings, hitting hard and true Oh every
shot, pulled his side through to vic
tory against Wright and Niles. Al
though the latter pair led in the first
set at ID and So on games, Cragln
rallied Cunningham and then started
Il spirited forcing attack that finally
brought the set even and eventually
gave it to his side at 8-6
In the second set the advantage al
ternated, and again it was the aggres-
sive attack of Cragin and Cunningham
that brought them out on top at 7-5.
In the last set the New York pair got
off to big lead and held command
throughout, to win the final set at 62
and the match
Taylor played one of the prettiest
games he has shown on the. indoor
courts this season in defeating Rich
ards. His service was powerful fac
tor, for Richards lost most of his
points on the return of the Brooklyn
boys delivery. The ball came over so
swiftly and under such excellent con-
troll, that Richards had little chance to
do more than land his returns in the
net.

Dingee Triumphs Over Pierce
After Close Fight Bur-
rough Trounces Deeley
By A. c. Cavagnaro

Norman F. Torrance played in un-
usually good form in defeating Harry
E. MCGOWAN in a match of the team
squash tennis tourney of the Crescent
Athletic Club on the Brooklyn courts
yesterday. 1t was expected that Nc
Gowan would tax fully the playing
ability of his veteran opponent, but the
unexpected happened when Torrance
won in two straight games. The scores
were 1915, 15-9.
While the match required only two
games, MCGOWAN forced his opponent
into many long rallies before giving
up point. Terrence drove the ball low
and with speed around the court, and
this attack puzzled MCGOWAN. The lat
ter also had difficulty in digging Tor
RANGES returns out of the corners of
the back wall, and often was able onlv
to defect the smashing Of his rival.
Torrance's nicking of the telltale
gave him an early lead in the first
game, but MCGOWAN soon rallied. to
hSod1iiC SOIiluduu IL WAS an even nrht.
with MCGOWAN only a few points in
the van, when Torrance braced to set
the game at 13-all. MCGOWAN replied
with lead of 2 to 0. but this adj
vantage was not held long before his
rival rallied strongly, to count his nee
essary five aces in succession.
Sharp 'Cross-Court Shots
The second game found Torrance
bringing into play sharp 'cross-court
shots and low "kills" over the telltale
that enabled him to gain a big lead
early. MCGOWAN succeeded in return
ing many of his rivals shots, but
found trouble with his opponents low
drives.
c. West Dingee, the all-around ath
lete, also played at his best in defeat
ing w. l.. Pierce, after close fight,

Sport Revival at big
Three" TO Come Slowly
Will Observe Limited Number
Events in Three Branches
Major Sports

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 16.-Fol-
lowing the general decision of Yale,
Harvard and Princeton to revive in
tercollegiate sports, under careful re-
strlctlons, at yesterdays conference
here, the athletic committees at the
three universities will attempt to work
out mutually details for spring sport
schedules. Meetings of the general
athletic committees will be held at
the three universities, when the dis
cussion which took place here yester.
day will be outlined. Then the cues.
tlon of arranging the schedules in row.
ing, baseball and track athletics will
be turned over to the undergraduate
managers.
All three universities have agreed
that in the main it is wise to attempt
to arrange a limited number of events
in all three branches of major sport
this spring. No attempt has been made
to bind the three OLD rivals to a definite
triangular athletic arrangement and
agreement. There will be no triple

of sport, but The details of such ath-
letics as the undergraduates desire will
be left entirely to them.
The three delegates who met here
yesterday, Dean Briggs, of Harvard;
Dean McClanahan, of Princeton, and
Professor Robert Corwin, of Yale, ex-
pressed themselves emphatically in ia
vor of allowing the undergraduates to
go ahead and to arrange their sched-
ules without imposing any more tech
nical restrictions than are imperative
under the war conditions which pre-
vail. The three are of the opinion that
the undergraduates will all arrange
baseball, rowing and track schedules,
which perfectly conform to the exist
ing circumstances in the universities,
which have been created by greatly de-
creased membership, inability to
finance sports on the former intercol-
legiate scale, unwillingness on the part
of the public to witness college sports
conducted on the "Roman holiday"
scheme which has prevailed in the past,
and. lack of athletes to form teams in
any branch of sport of the usual Har-
ward, Princeton and Yale Standards
1T was made clear at Yale to day that
there would be no athletic events Incl

cises. There will be no Harvard Yale
