Pittsburgh the Dark Horse
In Penn Relay Carnival

ships, set for Saturday. 1t Is said that
Coach Kerr plans to enter teams in
both events. The two mile comes first
on the programme. There is no doubt
that in Albright, who was third in the
half-mile championship; Addleman,
who was third in the mile champion
ship, and Shea, Pittsburgh has three
men who will hold their own.
If Pittsburgh should enter the two
mile, it will spoil its chances in the
mile, though it must be remembered
that last year the same four men won
the Class E college rcray championship
and later captured the one-mile Ameri-
can championship. Pittsburgh has the
same team as last year in Shea, Eek
hardt, Albright and Peters. Brickley
and Addleman have supplanted Peters
and Speck in the Pittsburgh relay races
this winter, indicating that the team
will be faster than last years.
Pennsylvania and Chicago seem to
have the best teams to oppose Pitts
burgh, though it will be remembered
that in Pennsylvania s last indoor race
the Panthers beat GU, Massachusetts
Institute of Technology only by yard,
with Dartmouth only another yard
back. These teams must also be con-
sidered, while Michigan, too, has fast
lot of quarter-milers.

Lehigh Beats N.Y.U.
In Baseball Game
By Score of 4 to |

BETHLEHEM, Penn, April 5-Le-
high came through the opening game
of the college baseball season here to-
day with a to l victory over New
York University. The contest was
staged on somewhat wet field which,
however, did not seem to appreciably
slow up the play. Both twlrlers were
in better form than is usual at this
time of the year, and especially so was
Johnson, who held the New Workers
to four hits, two of which were scratch
drives.
Lehigh opened up the scoring in the
third, when Beck beat out bunt and
romped home when Magazines crashed
double to centre. A moment later
Maginnes ran home when Webb sent
smash to right for two bags. In the
fourth Thompson, who also had the
double" fever, banged one to right,
was sacrificed to third by Harrington
and scored on Johnson's sacrifice n.y.
The fifth found Lehigh in possession
of another tally when Mathcr walked,
stole second and came home when
Barker threw wild to first on Collins
slow grounder.
With two down in the ninth Draffen
walked, Sulzcr banged screamcr to
deep centre. which scored Drafcn, but
Sulzer was cut off at the plate.
The score:

That the German faint will not find
its way into international lawn tennis
for many years, if ever again, Is indi-
Gated by the action taken by England
last week, when the English Lawn Ten
mis- Association issued a statement for
bidding any British players from en-
tcring any tournaments in which sub
jects of the Central Powers are allowed
to compete.
Following the lead of the English
associations the Commission Centrale
Lawn Tennis of Franco adopted
similar ruling. and it will not be sur
prising to hear that Italy, Belgium
and the other nations of the Entente
Allies have raised the bars against the
unspeakable Hun. And it is we'll that
it is So The German and his comrades
of the bloody hands and the brutal
heart have no place in a game that has
been famous these many years for that
superhne craftsmanship that is inner
ont in tennis.
In letter to George Townsend Adee,
president of the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis Association, II.
Anthony Sabelli secretary of the Eng
fish governing body, quotes the regula-
tons adopted at recent meeting Of
the council, as follows
"No British player shall be allowed
to take part in any tournaments or
competitions organized by our enemies
and held on enemy territory
"All enemy players are prohibited
from entering at any tournaments or
competitions sanctioned by the l.. T. A.
For the purposes Of lawn tennis,
the new Czecho- Slovak nation shall be
regarded as Allies.
British players are prohibited from
taking part in tournaments or compc-
titlons organized In any neutral coun-
try unless the Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton or corresponding organization of
such country shall have prohibited the
acceptance for the same by subjects of
enemy nations.
"Prospectuses or programmes of all
tournaments and competitions orpan-
lied by affiliated associations, clubs or
committees must contain condition
to the effect that under no circum-
stances shall entries be accepted from
players from enemy nationality, and
adequate steps must be taken bv nil
concerned to render this prohibition
effective"
The wording of this resolution ap-
pears sufficiently explicit to prevent
any doubt as to its meaning and in
tent, but 1t ia not within the rnnpe
Of possibility that any Britisher or
+ lrcnchman would think Of associnting
/ himself in sporta with subjects Of
those nations that showed their utter
lack of sporting instncts by their CON

Plans Settled
By Conference
Brides, Bull and Alcott
-~ Will Assist DIR. Sharpe
in Coaching Eleven

NEW HAVEN, April 5.-Yale's foot
ball plans for next fall have just been
rounded into shape at conference
between DR.. Alfred Hayes Sharpe, who
WAS recently chosen athletic director
at the university, and the university
officials. Every detail of the situation
was discussed and it was decided that,
in case Guy Gates, who was elected
captain at the close of the 1916 season,
does not return to college next fall
the election of captain be deferred
until after the scheduled games begin.
Captain Gates has announced that he
plans to leave Yale at the close of the
school year in June.
1t was decided that under existing
conditions it would be impracticable to
order extensive spring practice, al
though most OF the larger universities
have already begun to organize their
football squads for next fall. Many
prominent Yale football candidates are
scattered among the spring sport teams.
Mead, one of the leading candidates
for tackle, is captain of the crew, and
fullback Jim Braden is captain of the
track team. Charlie Comerford, the end
rush, is one of the members of the
baseball pitching staff, and Thorne
Murphy, the halfback and drop kicking
specialist, is shortstop of the baseball
team.
Captain Gates will probably take
charge Of the spring football practice,
which will begin in about a fortnight
and will continue three weeks. The
work, however. will be largely rudi-
mentary.
DIR. Sharpe stated to the Yale ath-
letic officials that he wished as assist
ant coaches next fall DR.. Arthur f.
Brides for the rush line, DR.. William
t. Bull for the backfeld candidates
and Clarence Alcott for the ends. The
trio, Brides, Bull and Alcott, consti-
tuted the executive staff in develop
ing the 1915 eleven, which, from medi-
OGRE material, defeated Harvard and
Princeton in a remarkable finish of q
season which opened disastrously.
OF the graduate football committee
chairman Vance Mccormick is still in
Europe, but Walter Camp, of this city,
and Brink Thorne, of New York City,
are in close touch with DR.. Sharpe
while Major George T. Adee has just
returned from military service of more
than year in France.
