RACING PLANS MAY
CHANGE CREW LEADERS

Cambridge. Mass. April 4-There is
4 possibility that when Harvard and
Yale row this spring some one other
than Coach Bill Haines will be follow
ing the Crimson crew. When plans
were formulated for this race the de-
cision was made to select at each
college the varsity crews by racing
the first and second eights a few days
before the regatta. At Harvard still
further radical changes were agreed
upon, and as a result Coach Haines
from now on will have charge of the
varsity eight ard Coach Brown will
handle the junior varsity. or second
crew.
Haines will be allowed to draw from
Browns shell a reasonable time be-
fore the two crews meet. but the latter
coach is an excellent judge of oarsmen
and has a following which believes
that il conditions are nearly equal his
chances to defeat the Briton's crew
are excellent. and will open up for the
clever coach the coveted opportunity
to race Yale.

PREVIOUS ENTRIES
FOR RELAY BROKEN

Philadelphia, April 4.-Pennsyl-
Vania's relay management has been
very busy the past two days max
ing the final changes in the college
and school groups that are always
necessary. The final entry list is
the largest ever received for Penn
sylvania's famous carnival. Sixty
two colleges, ninety-eight high
schools, fifty-one preparatory schools,
sixty-six grammar schools, twenty
hVe parochial schools and eight
camps have sent word that they
will be on hand. a total of 3IC
institutions.
On the two days of the meet
there will be seventy-two events,
thirty-two on Friday and forty on
Saturday. Friday is in no sense
preliminary to Saturday. The thirty
two events include some Of the
most important of the big carnival,
and will all be finished on that day.
This year, because of the promi-
nence given to the military and
naval etents. the pentathlon and the
sprint and medley relay champion
ships, Friday takes equal rank
with Saturday, and should be most
interesting

WRESTLERS READY
FOR MATCH TONIGHT

Tn eyes Of the wrestling world will
be-turned toward the Lyceum Theater
tonight awaiting the outcome of the
worlds championship match between
Joe Turner. the local favorite, and
Mike Yokel, the Salt Lake City grap-
pier.
This Is the second time this season
that Joe Turner has been called upon
to defend his. title as middle-weight
champion of the world, on the local
mat, and the fans know that he is
meeting the Toughest proposition of
his career when he locks arms with
Yokei. Both men report themselves
in the pink of condition and are
ready to grapple for the premier
honors.
Police Gazette rules will govern the
contest, with exception Of the time
limit. as the match is scheduled to
go to a finish no matter how long the
route. Pat O'Connor. the official ref
cree, will weigh the men in this af-
ternoon. and as both have posted 500
forfeit, it Is hardly likely that either
will be over the required weight. 160
pounds or under. Both men have
their share OF rooters. and while the
local boy will naturally be the favor
lite. a good crowd will be pulling for
YokeI TO win. Washington is recog-
niFed as one of the important cities on
the wrestling map. and the match to-
night will go down in the history of
the sporting annals as one Of the
greatest on record.
Both men are pretty evenly match
ed. How the men compare:

BRICKLEY In NAVAL
RESERVES FOR WORK

Boston, April 4.-Charles E.
Brickley. Harvard's famous drop
kicker, was enrolled in the Naval
Reserve today.
Brickley had tried to get into ac-
tive service for some time. Last
July he was a sergeant in the Har-
ward reserve officers training corps
and subsequently 1t was announced
that he was to be assigned to a po-
sition on the staff of the Depart
ment of the Northeast.
As the opportunity for active
service was slow in coming. how
ever. Brickley applied for naval en-
listment. Navy Department officials
suggested that he study at the
school for ensigns, but the former
gridiron leader decided to start as
an enlisted man. 1t is expected that
he will receive an appointment as
chief petty officer and will go to
Washington about April Is.

LAJOIE MAY LEAD
TORONTO BALL CLUB

Baltimore, April 4.-The probality of
Napoleon Lajoie being able to asso-
ciate himself with the management of
the indianapolis club of the American
Association pales with each succeed
ing hour.
Charles H. Ebbets, president of the
Brooklyn National League club, is
prepared to call off his purchase Of
the celebrated Frenchman from the
Toronto club. But James J. McCaf-
fiery. president of the Maple Leafs,
does not appear to relish the idea OF
Lajoie's passing from the Canadian
metropolis to the obscure village Of
indianapolis. II McCaffery takes back
Lajoie it will be to employ him as
leader of the club with which he won
the International League pennant in

NOTES OF THE GAME AND TRIP

That the Old Fox intends to cut
loose Bob Berman, the Fordham Uni
vesity catcher. became evident today
when he started to dicker with Charlie
Frank, the manager of the Crackers,
for the purchase of Val Picinich. the
crack little back-stop Of the local
club. Picinich, is considered one of
the best receivers that has ever been
turned out by the Southern League
and was rated as one OF the stars
Of the circuit.
Last season Connie Mack looked
over the Crackers catcher during the
closing days last fall. but he turned
him back beacuse Of the large pur-
chase figure which the local owners
had placed on him It leaked out to-
day at a tanning bee that the Foxy
pilot Is anxious to obtain his services
as he realizes that he Is not any too
well fortified in the receiving de-
partment. Should Ainsmith and Judge
both be injured at the same time, the
Nationals would be in a frightful way
as Charity would be forced behind
the plate, with some of the pitchers
Howard Of course would be used to
replacing Shanks in the outfeld,
MI in Judges shoes at the initial
corner.
Although the Fox tonight will not
state denitely that he is camping on
the trail of Picinich it is believed
by the fans here that this move is a
part of the deal which sent Lynch to
the Atlanta club. Griff and Charlie
Frank are very close friends, while
Billie Smith. another Of the Foxy
Pilots scouts. is a big factor in the
local club. and it is through these
sources that the deal may be swung
before the Nationals hike back here
on Monday. Lynch was turned over
to the Atlanta club today and will in
all probability work against the
Nationals IN the final game tomorrow.
Jimmy shaw and George Dumont
have been slated to push the new
fioateF pass these Crackers in this
final game. President Cornish, Of the
Southern Atlantic League. was a visi-
tor at the ball game this afternoon.
