Sch0Olb0yS Clash in Pool
At Il. of 2. Saturday

The interscholasttc swimming cham
plonshlps stand out as the leading feat
ures of the coming week in water sports.
They will be held on Saturday. under
the supervision of the University of
Pennsylvania and everything points to
the most remarkable meet in the his
tory of high school aquatics. Not only
are there in the field more and better
candidates this season than ever before.
but the fact that the Philadelphia fixt-
ure is the only one Of title rank so far
announced is inducing every lad with
championship aspirations to make eff
forts to attend, and record list Of
enr'ies seems assured.

and there is hardly doubt that he
can smash to pieces the 5OO-yard
scholastic standard in the hampton
ship at this distance, SO his victory
appears foregone conclusion.
Harry Maxwell, of Lawrenceville. is
the logical favorite in fancy diving.
Tor he took the crown at this sport a
year ago and has improved materially
since. AT the plunge for distance Fred

De Orc S Rival
Balks at Plans
For Big Match

Alfredo de Orc and August Kieck-
hefcr are scheduled to play for the
thrcecushion carrom billiard champion
ship at Bryant Hall, January 80, 81
and February 1. Kieckhcfcr, however,
is not disposed to comply with that
arrangement. The match was due to
begin January 25, but, owing to inabil-
ty to secure place in which to hold
it, the event was postponed to the
dates mentioned, whercat Kicckhefcr
has declared that he will not only OBJ
ject to any extension but will claim
forfeit unless the games are played in
Chicago.
Under the rules governing the cham
pionship trophy the champion must
play in a public hall in the city where
he has a legal residence, unless he
obtains the consent of his challenger
and the Brunswick Bake Collender
Company to play in another city or a
billiard room. He must also give such
challenger ten days notice of tho date
and city selected.
When de ORC and Otis were about
to leave for Havana to play the match
Which ended January II in one-point
victory for de Orc. they authorized
Charles Z. Miller to act for them in
relation to Keckhefer's challenge.
Otis said if he won ne would be will
ing to play in Chicago if suitable in
ducements were offered, while dc Orc
declared that under no circumstances
would he go to Chicago. Accordingly,
on January II, Miller advised Kicck-
hcfer of the place and dates selected.
Then came the protest and threat to
claim forfeit.
Speaking of the situation, Mr.. Miller
snld: ut was not the fault Of dc Orc
or anybody else that the match was
deferred. John Doyle had no place in
which to hold it, Maurice DAILY. who
Is hostile to three cushions, would not
have it, and Lawler Brothers could not
arrange for it before February II, so
there was nothing for me to do but
engage the one available hall. De Orc
has cabled that he will be here in time
to play on the dates naued. Now we
Will have TO wait and see what Kieck-
hefsr will DO. He seems to be badly
advised.
'He protested against the playing of
the dc Oro-Otis match in Cuba, and
was informed that where that game
would bc played was no concern of
his, that his interest in the champion
ship was limited TO his own challenge,
and his rights in that respect would
be fully protected. I believe he will
either play or forfeit"
