ON MANY REFORMS

and Cut Preparing Time.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, February IA
The elimination of the much-talked-
about training table and the reduc-
ton of the special three weeks of
preparation to less than seven days

cided upon at the recent meeting held

Princeton, according to the announce
ment made by the Harvard athletic
committee.
The chairmen of the big three" are
table, but decided to abolish it for
economical reasons. The reduction of
the special three weeks of training
is also attributed to the retrenchment
policy. In fact, all expenses for ath-
letic events Will be reduced to d mini
mum.
Sports, of course, will be conducted
this year on a pre-war basis, and all
the Old and celebrated events on track,
field and water viii be revived.
Bars Out Freshmen.
At the meeting in New York the
chairmen of the three colleges agreed
to adhere strictly to the rule debar-
ring freshmen from university teams
for members of the 1922 However, it
was agreed that any member OF the
freshman classes of 1920 or 1921, who
left college in good standing and who
now returns, shall be declared eligible
for university athletics despite the
fact that for academic purposes he is
still technically rated as a freshman.
The usual Harvard Yale regatta
win be held at New London on June
20. The Crimson crew. however, will
spend only four days in New London
and, according to Maj. Moore, secre-
viii be CHARTERED at a hotel.
The Harvard-CorneH race will be
held at Ithaca on May 81; the Har-
vard-Princeton race on the Charles

More Money as Bait.

Mr.. Vienne in his letter to Mr. Lippe
said that probably a million and a half
francs might persuade Carpenter to
re-enter the ring and take the trip to
America, but he feared that would be
too much money for any one to offer
and therefore he felt that there would
be nothing doing with Georges in the
near future
Mr.. fienne figured that Carpenter
would be great attraction not only
asa tighter. but also as a fiier, and
ne gave the impression in his letter
that he was sadly disappointed in not
being able to persuade Carpenter to
make a visit to this country
he feels that Carpenters success
is In a measure due to the opportu-
nifty he gave him, and says that he is
sure that when Carpenter is demob-
HiZed he will pilot his American tour.
Vlenne has already formulated plans
for the tour. Although Carpenter is
still in the army he is available for
bouts in France

and knows tire game will suit me-
I'll leave that up to Jack KearnS. But
l honestly believe that I can whip
willard, and when I step into the
ring with him he will not be facing
a Jack Johnson or a Frank Moran.
Il have been sick out in Colorado
with a touch Of influenza, but am
feeling fine now. I weigh one hun
bred and ninety-flve pounds, and will
not weigh much more when / fight. l
don't ask any one to bet on me. but those
who do are going to win," finished
