man came up and wanted to arrest the

Cornell to Enter
Four-Mile RELAY

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 8. Cornell
has sent word that she will have q
team in the fourmile relay champion
ship Of America at Pennsylvania 8
twenty fourth annual relay carnival on
April 26 and 27. Cornell also expects
to send down her one-mile relay team
and to have individual entries in the
special events.
The entry of the four-mile team is
significant on CornelPs part, as she
evidently will put forth every effort to
turn the tables on Pennsylvania S dis
tance runners who defeated her in
the 'cross-country championship last
fall.
Coach Robertson will have practi

easily.

Yale Rowing
Coach Discusses
Plans for Year

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Feb. 9.---Details
this season were discussed to-day by
Professor Mather A. Abbott, of the
university, who will be the rowing
coach this season, and whose progress
slve policy is responsible for deter
mination to have more races than ever
before, despite war conditions.
Professor Abbott wishes to have the
races placed on the highest plane of
American college craftsmanship. He
feels that the injection of high priced
coaches and trainers has not at all
times kept the athletics of some of our
American institutions at their highes
level of craftsmanship, but he believes
that no nation possesses ideals Of
sportsmanship of so lofty quality as
those held by America. AS he is an
Englshman, his opinion is q tribute
of peculiar strength to American
sportsma ,hip.
Yale Ready for Business
Professor Abbott said to-day that,
generally speaking. Yale stood ready to
meet all corners on the water this sea-
son. He hopes for a great variety of
races. Events with Pennsylvania, Har-
ward and Princeton have already been
suggested and correspondence begun
toward holding them.
AS the members of the Yale rowing
squad viii be allowed to practice only
three afternoons week, the other
three being devoted to their intensive
military training as members of the
Yale naval units or the Reserve Off
GERS Training Corps, the establishment
OF a programme which includes three
intercollegiate races is q decided inno-
walton for Yale.
1t is taken for granted that Pro-
fessor Abbott's plan will sound the
knell of the historic four-mile Cruel
ling events on the Thames. This wear.
at least, the Thames will be discarded
as as the scene of any Yale races, al
though Yale has an athletic plant
valued at fully $4,000 at Gales Ferry.
At present the sentiment is strong
against any athletic features at Yale's
commencement in June. The university
authorities feel that this should be a
purely patriotic affair, that all BANQUET
ing should be reduced to q decidedly
Hooverzed programme, and that all
lavishness of expenditure should be
abolished. Whether the view regarding
athletic events will be changed will be
decided later. as the alumni are not
harmonious on the subject
Places Not Settled
The places for the three Yale row.
ing events are not settled. Yale has
challenged Pennsylvania to a race here
May II. This will definitely be rowed
on the new course on the Housatonic
River, above Derby, if the race is in
dorsed by the athletic board of con-
troll. 1t will be over two-mil. course
Yale and Princeton have informally
discussed q rowing event and the Yale
rowing officials express themselves as
willing to go to Lake Carnegie. There
has been talk Of Yale entering the
Childs Cup event, but this race has
hitherto been confined to entries from
Cornell, Pennsylvania and Princeton
and is purely an invitation event. If
Yale and Harvard agree on racing
programme it will he held at either
the Housatonic River course or on the
River Charles
Yale is developing both freshman
and at least one varsity crew and ex-
poets to enter both in as many races
as it is found possible to arrange.

raining Trip
OF Cubs Be
Minus Frills

Frills will be absent from the Cub
spring training trip. 1t will be business
all the way, and Manager Mitchell will
be the boss. Stockholders will not be
able to vote on the most likely recruit
nor give advice as to the pinch hitter
when the score is a tie, as there will be
none with the team. Not even President
Weeghman will be on the train to Pasa-
dena when the team leaves Chicago
March 12.
The violent change from preceding
trips came about through a conference
formed Mr.. Weeghman that the fewer
in the party the better. This decided
the magnate to advise his fellow stock
holders that they were not wanted on
the train, and, in order to set a good
example, he counted himself out Of
the party.
The trip will only be Of thirty days
duration" said Mr. Weeghman, "and I
think it would be unwise to have any
informed our stockholders. l want to
give the players all the comforts pos
sible, and, as railroad accommodation
will be hard to get, / thought it would
be best to cut out all extra travellers.
'It will not be difficult for the rail-
roads to handle the players and news
paper men. AS the team will be on the
jump most of the time, it would be no
pleasure for outsiders to go along.
Fewer players will be taken than for
merly, and that, too, will help"
Business Manager Craghead, who is
also secretary Of the club, will handle
the travelling arrangements. He has
everything creased for the journey, as
there are only few more dates to fill.
Whether the team will go through
Texas has not been decided, but there
will be games to go around should the
state be invaded.
