Six Crews Entered
In Seine Regatta;
u. S. Grew Light

PARIS, April 26 (By The Associated
Press).-Six crews are entered for the
international rowing regatta on the
Seine Sunday afternoon for the trophy
offered by the Rowing Club Of France
The Australian crew has withdrawn
leaving France, Portugal, Newfound-
land and New Zealand, and also AL
sace-Lorraine and America, to try
their speed from the Pont Royal to the
Alma Bridge, distance of about one
mile and e half
Next to Portugal, the American ex-
pedltionary force was the lightest crew
on the river, but the Americans have
the advantage in height, the average
being six feet, or two inches more than
the New Zealand crew, which comes
next.
The averages from boy to stroke Of
the different crews are as follows:
Americans-Age, 26.5; height, feet;
weight, ITO pounds. France-Age, 3O5;
height, 8 feet 8 inches; weight, III
pounds. Portugal-Age, 25.5; height.
feet 7 inches; weight, 1856 pounds
New Zealand-Age, 25.3; height, s feet
10 inches; weight, 1870 pounds. New
foundland--Age, 26; height, feet 9
inches; weight, TT pounds.
1t has been decided to effect stand
ing start instead of the customary
flying start. The Seine is running
quite high and the tide is very strong
and it is expected that the mile and
a half will be covered in record time.
France, Portugal and Newfoundland
will dispute the first heat at 2:15;
New Zealand, Alsace- Lorraine and
America will leave the starting point
at 2:45. The winners of each heat will
row the final heat at 4:3O.

1t is fully recognized that the ath-

were at West Point and Annapolis, and
that the game between the two actually
settled college supremacy. There was
no general recognition of this, however
al all of the games were played on the
home grounds OF the service teams.
There are strong hopes that this con-
ditlon will be mended through an ar
rangement which probably win be made
next year
Many people think that there Ia no
eaaental reason why the midahlpmen
sheuld not no allowed to play q fair
number Of gamea away from their own
grounds IN each branch Of anorta. So
acute has been tho difficulty In getting
worth while gamos Of football In ro-
cont years that permission was granted
for tho midshipmen to play away from
their own grounds IN ono game dur
Ing the season. A game was played at
Philadelphia against tho University of
Pennsylvania, and then the privilege
was withdraw when the United States
entered tho war.
Now an effort will be made to have
the privilege renewed and two big col
lege teams will be asked to enter into
an arrangement with the Naval Acad-
envy by which they will alternate in
games at Annapolis and on their own
campuses. This would give the midship-
men games against two big college
teams each year. besides West Point
and the local games which could be
secured. II such permission were ex-
tended to the teams in other sports

athletics would bo overcome.
The effect Of the increased number
Of midshipmen has already been seen
and the showing of the academy in
athletics during last winter and the
present spring has been remarkable.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-While
the joins congressional conference
committee was discussing points of
difference between the Cummns and
Esch railroad reorganization bills
today in an effort to conciliate
minor disagreements and pave the
way to consideration Of the all-im-
por.ant anti-strike provisions of the
CUmmins measure, high railroad
union officials gathering here to at
tend a conference called by Samuel
Gompers to formulate a definite
policy to be pursued with regard to
the labor clauses OF the senate bill.
The chiefs of the four great rail-
road brotherhoods and ten affiliated
organizations were to meet late to-
day.
Prior to the union conference Of
ficials of several unions affiliated
with the brotherhoods strongly in
dicated their conviction that the
conference would adopt declara tion
of principles similar to that of the
railway macninists' union, which
voted to strike if the more drastic
labor provisions of the Cummins
bill should become law.
f Representative of the railroad
unions affiliated with the American
Fedora ton of Labor who had plan
ned to confer Nssgn Director General
Hines today relative to wage in
creases decided at the last moment
not to see the director \general to-
day. No reason for the postpone
ment was given nor did the union
officials indicate when they would
ask for a conference.
Settlement of this issue was
postponed last fall at the re-
quest of President Wilson, pend
