BY JOHN sURcHINAL.

The eleventh annual National Con-
ference on City Planning was conyen.
ed DIN Niagara Falls on May 26th, and
was adjourned in Buffalo May 2sth.
There were three sessions of the Com
ference on each Of the two days that
your delegates were present, and at
each session some particular phase OF
City Planning was fully discussed in
papers by eminent Apertcan and Cana
dian authorities.
We have felt that this Club was in
terested less IN the technical discus
sion Of the industrial, architectural,
engineering or social welfare problems
involved in the execution OF a city
plan, than in. the definition of city
planning, the dement's to be derived
from a>cjty plan, the practical proceed
ure in the legal establishment Of a
City Planning Commission, and the
methods OF Financing City Planning.
And so we have acquired certain infor
nation on these points which we hone
to be able to transmit nteIHgently
to you.

Some such plan as the one Just out.
lined in skeleton form should become
matter Of serious consideration by
business men as well as by boards OF
education. When the new high school
IS built it should belong not only to
Fairmont but to the Fairmont region,
particularly to the immediate region
which would become the chief benefi.
Charles Of such plan.
In building and maintaining a new
high school the city should not carry
the load alone. AS matter of fact at
the present time we could not do SO.

devised whereby the outlying districts
could share in the expense.

The Conference was attended by
representatives from nineteen states
from four provinces of Canada, from
Japan and New Zealand. West Vtr-
ginia had two representatives both
from Fairmont.
California had one representative,
Utah one, Washington two, Texas
three, Iowa four, Massachusetts eight,
Ohio eighteen, Pennsylvania, nineteen.
New York forty-eight, and Canada
forty.nine.
The registration aggregated about
two hundred persons most of whom
represented chambers OF commerce,
Rotary clubs, municipal governments.
There were city planners, city engin-
GERS, architects, real estate agents in
attendance.
Niagara Falls was chosen as the
affords an excellent laboratory In city
planning. Several towns on the Cana
dian side and Niagara Falls on the
American side have adopted definite
constructive plans for the growth of
these cities.
The Fairmont delegates wished
many times that all the members OF
the Fairmont Rotary club might have

whom but had message Interesting

Where city charters do not have am

policies the state legislature must be
invoked. Such legislation has already
been sought and secured in number
of states. particularly in New York,

sets.

are concerned in getting many indus

Jay Could Ready
To Defend Title
At Court Tennis

PHILADELPHIA, March 21. Jay
Gould, holder of the worlds open
championship in court tennis, to-day
announced through the Racquet Club
of Philadelphia that as the war is
now over he is willing to defend his
title.
John W. Wear, racquets double
champion and chairman Of the Rae
quets Committee of the club, specified
the conditions under which Mr.. GOULD
will play. The match, the best in 13
sets, would be played during the first
three weeks of December on the
courts of the Racquet Club. Mr..
Gould is willing to play return
at an agreed upon date within a year
of the first match, either in this coun-
try or England.
Mr.. Gould said to-day that he would
give preference to George F. Covey,
former professional champion of Eng
land, whom he defeated for the world s
championship in this city in March,
1914 At that time there was an un-
derstanding that return match
would be played in England.
SCovey is the professional for Lord
Lytton at his private court in Eng
land. 1t is understood here that he
has not practiced much since the out
break of the war. Mr.. Gould has re-

Ray Van Orrnan
May Be Named
Cornell Coach
Former Star End Likely
To Be Chosen as Sue
cessor to DIR. Sharpe

ITHACA, N. Y, March 21.-That Ray
Van Orman, for the past ten years end
coach of the Cornell football team,
will not unlikely be selected to succeed
Or. Albert H. Sharpe as football coach
at Cornell University when the latter
goes to Yale this summer is the belief
OF many Comedians who have can
vassed the situation and discussed the
possibilities.
Van Orman has not committed
himself, but undergraduates, alumni
and some members of the arh-
letic council, who will make the selec-
tion, are. convinced that he ought at
least to have an opportunity to show
what he can do as head coach.
from Cornell in 1908, was a member
of three Cornell teams, two of which
were coached by Glenn Warner. Af-
ter leaving college he came back as
end coach with Dan Reed, and when
Sharpe came here in 1912 Van Orman
retained the position and has become
recognized as one of the best end
coaches in the East.
The council may, of course, go out
side of the ranks of Cornell alumni, as
they did when Sharpe was chosen, or
they may decide to continue the pol
icy of having one man coach three
teams, as Sharpe does. Neither course
seems likely, however, in view of the
pressing necessity of getting a coach
ing system assured at once.
Another possible course would be
for the council to choose an older man
as head coach, but, again, that seems
unlikely because no such man seems to
be available, or those that are have
not demonstrated that they would be
superior to Van Orman.
Possible assistant coaches mentioned
are w. c. Cool, crack centre of the
1915 champion team, for line coach.
Cool was one of the most aggressive
and capable of recent football players
at Cornell. Among the backfeld coaches
mentioned are c. W. Shuler, halfback
in '13, IA and rs, and Howard Fritz,
halfback and end in IL, '12 and '13.
Many Comedians would like to see
James J. Munns, the fighting leader Of
the 1913 eleven, back in some capacity.

Gossip Of the Golfers

"A. w. Tillinghast, the golf course
architect, deserves great credit for the
skill he is displaying in laying out the
new eightcen-hole course he is con-
structing for the Baltusrol Golf Club.
In fact, he is practically preparing
two cightecn-horc championship
courses, as some Of the present holes
are to be abandoned when the two
new courses arc ready to be put in
commission. One will be 6,535 yards
In length and the other 6,587 yards,
the measurement being taken from the
back tees.
Marvellous progress has been made
with tho construction work thus far
owing TO the open winter. Holes have
been cut through the woods. the tim
ber removed and many Of the stumps
taken out. A large portion Of the new
course has been laid out over old

Yale Swimmers
Expect to Score
Heavily Tonight

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 21.--
Yale expects to score heavily and to
break one or two worlds records in the
individual swimming championships in
the College of the City of New York
tomorrow night.
Edward Binncy, jr., may again cut
dowr the figures in the 50-yard swim.
When the season began the mark stood
at % 1-5 seconds. Binney first lowered
it to 25 seconds and then clipped a
fifth of second moro off. placing it at
"a 40 seconds.
Yale mon are giving odds that their
freshman swimming relay team will set
a new record for the s00-foot race. The
present record was established by the
speedy Yale team of 1914. but the 90
class relay combination has beaten it
in practice.
The freshman quartet will be Captain
II. do P. Townsend, ShafFer. Cook and
Gauss.
Captain John M. Hincks Of the Yale
team will be entered in the 100 and the
S-V ydTuS races. ne Is uncertain WnlCn
to start in. He has been covering the
22O event in 2 minutes 40 seconds,
about IL seconds better than any in
tercollegiate swimmer has made in any
meet this season.
Yet the 1O0-yard is his favorite
event, and he is disinclined to change.
Should he enter the 10O-yard race the
winner will be compelled to travel in
bS seconds fiat to beat him if Hincks is
in the form he displayed in practice
the last two weeks.
Hopkins, Yale's best distance plung-
er, who recently returned to college,
and Loeb have registered 73 feet in
practice recently and are dangerous
feated Loeb in the dual meet with
Princeton here but both Loeb and Hop
