PENNSYLVANIA carnival entries
l. close today. This is earlier than
usual by a day or two, but is made
necessary because of the very large
number of teams that have entered the
races. Managers are urged to get the
names of their runners in on time.
The Harvard team will be here
stronger than ever before, as they will
run in the two and the four mile re-
lay championships and will also be rep
resented in all the special events. The
two mile entries are Costigan, Doug
lass, Duggan, Hutchinson, Goodwin,
Lucas, O'Connell and Stevenson Dug
gan, Hutchinson, Goodwin and O'Con-
nell will most likely compose the team.
O'Connell is, the fastest man and will
probably run anchor.
The four mile entrants are Dugan,
Hutchinson, Lewis, Lucas, Nally,
O'Connell, Page and Worrall. Hutch :
inson and Lewis are the best milers in
this squad. %"
Little is known of the other men, but
they will have to be good to keep near
the front with such fast teams as La

day in order to cut down the field, and
then on the second day must revault for
places. The elimination trials never
do any of the athletes any good, and
it is seldom that the first day figures
are beaten, on the second day of COM
petition.
Brown Looks Good
The spring handicap meet which was
held at Penn on Saturday proved to be
success and it furnished one surprise.
The surprise was the running of
Brown, freshman from the coast, in
the 600 yard event. Brown was second
from scratch in 1 IA So race. He
probably ran the distance in 10, which
is remarkable time considering the
heavy condition of the track. :
Brown and Gustafson were on scratch
together, and the freshman beat the
varsity runner by yard. He should
prove valuable to Coach Robertson in
the freshman meets this spring and also
in the freshman relay.
Brewster, the former st. Benedict's
star, is another good man in the fresh
man squad, and with Weldon and Jack
as teammates, the yearlings should make
good showing in the relay However,
it is scarcely likely that they will be
able to touch >the record 8 % 20 set

won this title the last three years and
with another well balanced squad ap-
pear to be on their way to win the first
leg on the new three -year title trophy.
The Penn Charter team opened its
Interacademic League Schedule last
Thursday by completely overwhelming
the Episcopal combination, winning
every one Of the six matches. Penn

West Philadelphia and Frankford

Last season Frankford finished second
in the league standing. The Pioneers
however, have lost, through graduation
the services of their captain and star
player, Herman Dornheim. Dorm I
helm is one of the best younger players
in the East and it was his playing that
kept Frankford up in the race.
The remainder of the team remains
intact and all will move up one posi-
ton. Charley Seltzer will play frs
singles. The other members of thu
team are Gilmour, Corson, Anderson

THE intercollegiate pole vault record
i has stood the drive of college vault
ers for seven years, but it looks as il
the figures are going to be in dan
gerous position this season. There is
an excellent field of vaulters entered
in the Penn relays, and Gardner's rec.
ord of 13 feet 1 inch is likely to be
scratched from the books within the
next two weeks.
Sherm Landers. who captained the
Penn team until he was stricken with
pneumonia last year, stands a great
chance of running the record, and
believe him capable of such feat
However, he is going to be closely
pressed by Wilbur Newsletter, anothe,
Penn athlete and Fred Rubien's choice
for All American two years ago; Rec
Graham, of Chicago, and Easterday
of Pitt.
In the national A. A. U. champion
ships at Newark in 1916 Landers, who
then was representing the Chicago A
A.. landed the pole vault title with O
vault Of -12 feet 10 inches. The bar
was placed higher than 13 feet 21I
ihNh'S' 10 thc NOIlu lcCOIu ocl
by Mare Wright. and Landers was
given a chance. He made one try ant
all but cleared.
Specializing Now
Since that time Landers has not con
centrated on the pole vault, but has
done bit of running, hurdling, broad
jumping and also has tried the hop
skip and jump. This year Sherm in
tends to specialize in the pole vault. Ht
will not try for the one mile relay team
and will devote most of his time t.
vaulting. ..t,..
Both Newsletter and Graham hav,
done twelve feet six inches and Easter
day has cleared twelve feet three inches
Last year Easterday tied for first plac'
in the intercollegiate championships
These men. together with the all star
in the relays, will force Landers to I
high mark.
The manner in which the pole vaul
is run in big meets is not favorabl
to record breaking and it will take al
exceptional man to beat the figures. l.

There was windup at the Olympia
last night but no one knew 1t. If

the last act on the card would have
gone very fiat. In fact, it would have
been very difficult to put on more

Before the pseudo windup was staged
Eddie O'Keefe and Jack Norman gal
loped for six sessions. The veteran

early, battered away alls during the
fight, and won a clean cut verdict.
This was O'Keefe's second start in
his comeback" effort. This second
win was more decisive than the first

punching harder and cleaner and his
Judgment of distance much improved
Eddie now seems capable of giving the
featherweights plenty of trouble.

Jack Weinstein, O'Kecfe's silent di
rector, remained in the rear for two
rounds. When he saw his boy had 9
chance he moved to the front and pro
ceeded to scatter cigars among his
friends. Jack lost more friends thar
was earned by the winning Eddie.
The battle of the evening was thu
bloody slugfest, which resulted in {

all the way.

SEVERE SENTENCE
 IS GIVEN SLAYER

Vassel Pander. the Serbian who shot and killed James Antonio at the tu- bercular camp at Eleventh and Port land streets a week ago. was sentenced yesterday to an indeterminate sentence of from 90 years to life imprisonment at the state penitentiary at Florence for second degree murder
 That Pandar will not live many weeks of the sentence is the opinion of those who understand his physical condition. He took his sentence in differently, knowing it's period would make little difference to him, as his days are not many. He said as much when arraigned in the lower court. telling Justice Wheeler that he was a dead man" and the result of the killing meant nothing to him.
 When brought before Judge Stanford the defendant was of the same mind After waiving the time of entering his plea and admitting his guilt. Pandar also waived the time for passing of sentence. He made no statement.

The South and Cotton

Not long ago there was held in New Orleans meeting of the Southern States Cotton Acreage Re duction company. composed of cotton planters cotton brokers and cotton bankers. It was decided among other things 10 reduce the cotton acreage for this year one-thrd and 10 withhold from the market the 1918 crop until the price of cotton reaches sasfac tory figure.
 There has been some criticism of the object of this meeting and regret that 1t is 10 a large extent partisan. We do not think it is well founded In times past there would have seemed to be stronger excuse for such movement than there now with the pre- vailing price of southern cotton Yet when We come to think of it, the price is the result in part of lessened acreage which the conditions of few years ago forced upon the south
 The cotton industry with cotton as low as six cents pound. went to pieces. We remember when the pteous slogan Buy a bale" rang through the south IL was plain that the south was raising too 'pueh cotton It was nice thing for the consumers 'f cotton. but it bad thing for the raisers of cotton and for the south.
 lt taught the south a useful lesson the advantage ot diversifieation of and as result perhaps never again will the south produce as much cotton as t has done in the past Even it's reduced acreage thc last two would have saved it from loss put for the war.
 There is now call upon the south in the name of patriotism. to raise more cotton because the world needs it. There such a call upon the wheat growers not long but it did come from wheat growers. Probably the oudes advocates of a greater wheat the intuition makers or profiteers ,n other fields.
 The south should not of course restrict its cotton growing acreage for the purpose Of forcing an cxor-

While according to the dispatches of yesterday Great Britain finding necessary to nationalize its railroads there is a general clamor in this country for the denatonazing them and of everything else the government under what it conceived to be spur of-war necessity. undertook to manage.
 We do not know whether the British government will be any more competent less incompetent than ours has been, or whether private management in England is less sklful than in America. It is only certain that if the railroads of Great Britain have broken down under private management have broken down in an experiment of government admin stration.
