More wheat Being Planted.

Reports from all sections of the
state indicate that the acreage OF
winter wheat planted this fall will
be somewhat in excess of that plant
ed last year, in spite of the fact
that last years acreage was by far
the largest Colorado farmers have
ever sown. Unfavorable weather
during June caused heavy damage
to the winter crop this year, SO
that the acreage harvested was far
short of that planted. The total
yield of wheat for the state this
year is about the same as that for
1917.

however, for strict economy in the

HARVARD PUTS
BAN ON VARSITY
LETTER FOR 1918
Crimson Will Award No Insignia to Members of College
Teams This Year-Student Body Disapproves e.r
Change On Ground That It Takes Away
Incentive for Athletes ''H''
Much Sought

Boston, Feb. 25-Harvard has de-
cided not to award varsity letter to
the members of the teams which will
play Yale and Princeton this spring,
and it is expected that these other
two universities will take the same
stand. Already there has been an
expression of opposition against this
attitude, for both alumni and under
graduates maintain that by withhold
ing the varsity letter from the play
ers or the various teams and mem
bers of the varsity crew one Of the
strongest incentives for athletics to
go out to make the teams will be
missing.
In discussing the situation Gradu-
ate Manager Fred W. Moore of Har-
ward, stated: mo insignia such as is
given in normal years will be award
ed to this years teams. Whether any
substitute plan will be offered has not
been decided"
No ambition of the college under
graduate is quite so strong as that to
win the varsity letter in competition
for his college. Many a youth has
worked necessarily for three years
merely for a chance to get into big
game in his senior year and win the
coveted insignia. Letter men in col
lege are looked upon with awe by the
undergraduates and it is feared that
the decision to withhold the honor
from the varsity teams this year will
have a dampening effect on the ath-
Ietes who have been clamoring for
the resumption of varsity competi-
ton between Harvard, Yale and
Princeton.
Last Fall among the colleges which
continued their football activities the
members of the teams were not de-
prived of this honor, and the action
of Harvard, which will undoubtedly
be followed by Yale and Princeton,
will tend to make this section of in
tercollegiate competition just as list
less as the informal Varsity sports
which they attempted to continue last
Fall.

SOLDIERS TO VIE
AT A. OF P. GAMES

The University of Pennsylvania
will add pleasing touch of the mill
tary to its annual relay carnival to
be held on Franklin Field on April
26 and 81. Eight events will be held
for the soldiers and sailors. These in
clude wall scaling, rescue races,
squad drills, bugle competition, half
mile run in light marching order,
medley relay racing and the bayonet
charge race.
In this last event the contestants
will stand at attention on the starting
line, and at the gun fire will fix bay
onets, charge over fifty yards, stab
the dummy and return to the line.
All the contestants will wear the reg
ulation uniform.
The Pennsylvania management an
nounces that the number of entries is
quite up to the old standards Col
leges from all over the country have
already. signified their intention of
sending their teams to compete for
the banners and individual prizes. 1t
is urged by the management that
those colleges and schools intending
to compete signify their intention at
once. The personnel of the teams
need not be announced until ten days
prior to the holding of the meeting.

WINNER OF BOUT
TO MEET CADDOCK

New York, Feb. 25-Earl Caddock,
the Western wrestler who won the
championship from Wladek Zbyszko a
few weeks ago, is willing to risk his
title. The soldier boy was offered a
substantial sum to come to this city
and meet the winner of the match be-
tween Joe Stecher and Wladek Zbysz-
ko, which takes place Friday at Madi-
son Square Garden. The manage
ment made him a liberal offer, which
he accepted, but wires he is afraid
he will not be able to obtain a fur
Tough long enough to let him make
the trip from Camp Dodge, Ia.
Under these circumstances it VIII
compel either Stecher or Zbyszko to
make the trip West to c1inch match
with Caddock. Rather than forego
the chance, the winner of the Friday
nights battle will abide by Caddock's
decision as to the site of the big
clash. The fact that Stecher and
Zbyszko never met on the mat adds
| to the interest of the match. Both
adopt widely different methods.

1t has been found after a short exc
pertinent at these three universities
that strong, virile college lads need
some other incentive than the sport
itself or lover of exercise to draw the
students out for the teams and crews.
1t was for this reason that the three
decided to resume Varsity competi-
ton this Spring. But now that it
has been decided not to award the
Varsity letter to the members of the
teams, it is more than likely that the
students will not regard the competi-
ton as of real Varsity calibre, and
will view it with the same indifference
which made competition a fizzle last
Fall.
The experiment which is to be
made by Harvard, Yale and Prince
ton will be the first move toward the
elimination of professional coaching
from college athletics. In regard to
the training question, Mr.. Moore, Har-
wards graduate representative, says:
mo ban will be placed on profession
al coaches under contract at present"
Yale will employ no professional
coaches in the training of it's teams.
but the Harvard attitude is taken
with a view to a more careful super
vision of the men trying for places on
the various athletic teams. In track
and crew, it is especially desirable.
Harvard officials hold, to have an eX-
perienced man at the head to see that
the new men do not overtax their
strength and thereby impair their
general physical condition.
THE return to formal athletics
NTv vii
experimental policy, but rather one
which is to be employed during the
coming Spring. If it proves made
quate or in any way fails to meet the
circumstances of the situation, we
shall change or remodel it. Our
purpose is to inject into the candi-
dates more enthusiasm than was
shown for the schedules which did not
include games with Fale and Prince
ton"

YALE HAS HARD
time GETTING
BALL TEAM

New Haven, Feb. 25.-Efforts to or
ganize Yale's spring sport teams have
resulted in the disclosure that a fair
crew, a poor baseball nine and no
track team can be formed for the
coming season, if the result of the eff
forts to form the teams is to be
judged by the present outlook
The baseball team is in a bad way
for talent. Outside of Captain Lyman
no players of other than class mate
rial have reported. There seems ma
terial for a good outfield with Gage
formerly of the Penn Charter School
Boyd of Andover and Gordon of An
dover as leading candidates at pres
ent. Boyd and Condor would have
been on the freshman nine last year
had one been formed and Gage was
/ on his class team two years ago.
Three excellent infielders are al
work in the persons of Sawyer, the
former Exeter second baseman; Cap
tain Lyman, who came to Yale from
the Gunnery school, and Prann, for
emrly of the BTanford High school
Three candidates are being tried fol
first base, Childs, Sanderson and Mar
tin. Sanderson formerly played al
Pomfret and Martin at the RoXburJ
Latin school. None Of the trio is Civ
ing full satisfaction and Captain Ly-
man may switch from his former po-
sition at shortstop over to the initia,
! bag. In that case there is talk OF
shifting Sawyer from second to short
and bringing in Gage from the out
field to second base.
Conway, freshman catcher two sea.
sons ago, is the only candidate fol
backstop of sufficient promise to war,
rant an extended trial and NO pitcher
of note has yet been found. The bat
terry material is the most unsatisfac
tory of the squad.
The squad has had the use of the

the past week. No Easter trip viii
be attempted and the squad does no
expect much outdoor diamond drill til
then. Most of the games which art
being scheduled will be arranged fol
the period between April Is to June
During the past week the Yal4
charges had the aid of the coaching
of Ed Walsh, former member of the
Chicago White sox, who ran dow
from Meriden a couple of times, t.
help the pitchers. Yale will have NJ
paid coaches, but Walsh has promised
to give a little time to the varied can
didates.

tional league player, who was YaIe't

broke up the schedule, was also will

Checker Prowess of Mana
ger Helps Win High Favor
From Camp Sheridan M.
G. Montgomery Board
Of Trade to Help Care for
Players During Spring
Workouts.

New York, Feb. 25-Christy Math-
ewson was always considered the
most popular player in the major
leagues when he pitched for the
Giants, and that he still retains this
popularity is shown by the fact that
Big Six and his Cincinnati Reds will
have a whole training trip this spring
free of cost. They will be the guests
of the Y. NJ. C. A. and the Board of
Trade at Camp Sheridan, Montgom-
cry, Ala.
During the winter Matty was at
Camp Sheridan on a visit, and while
there he played checkers with the SOL
diers at the Y. NJ. c. A. hut. Thou
sands of youths at this camp revered
Christy Mathewson as the idol of
their boyhood days. He was a hero
during his visit, and he was such a
great attraction for the soldiers that
the Y. NJ. C. A. persuaded Matty to
bring the Reds to the camp for their
spring training. The Y. M. c. A. will
bear half the expense of the training
season, while the Montgomery Board
of Trade will share the other half of
the costs. Because of the great per-
sonal favor with which Matty is re-
garded. his ball club will have a free
training trip while the other major
league clubs are expanding thousands
of dollars to get into shape in the
South.
The Y. NJ. C. A. considers it the
best kind of entertainment for the
| soldiers to have clean-cut athlete
of Matty's type at the camp with his
ball club, and the officers believe that
the men will get more enjoyment out
| of the Reds visit than any other kind
| of entertainment they could offer
them. Once in Montgomery, the Reds
will be royalty treated. The hotel
where they will be quartered is four
miles from the baseball park, and
Mathewson's players will have a flock
of automobiles at their disposal Near
| the park is a huge coliseum, where
the players will be able to practice on
rainy days. The Reds will be cared
for more deliberately than any other
club in the South this spring, and il
will cost President Garry Hermann
not a penny.
