The record can only be listed as a
national one. however. as the rules OF

QUAKERS OBTAIN
BIC REGATTA
Schuylkill Will See College
Crews in Action Officers
Are Named.

New York, Feb. 1.-The American
Henley regatta, a rowing fixture tor
mulated some years ago for the pro-
motion of real high class amateur
boat racing on this side of the Allan
tic. is to he revived this spring. and
the important question was decided
a. a meeting Of the stewards of the
American Rowing Association held
yesterday Mt the Columbia University
Club. The date selected was Satur-
day, May 81. the location being the
SChuylkill River at Philadelphia.
Men from the big colleges interested
in rowing and number of the civilian
clubs with the sport of aquatics at
heart sat in the conclave. and it was
their unanimous voice that ''lhe
SchuylkilrS lazy tide" should again be
the scene of the conflict. Those who
passed on the Henley revival at at the
meeting were COmdr. h. r. Morri
son, L. S. N; Charles II. Mapes. Co.
lUmbia University; F. S. Bangs, Co.
lumbia University; Charles Lundt.
Union Club. Boston. Mass: Robert
+. Lee Williamson, Baltimore; Thomas
Reath and John A. Brown, Pennsyl-
vania, and Dean MCClenahan, Prince
ton.
\ long discussion took place over
the selection of the events to make up
the program which will come in for
a more detailed and closer study later
on. For the moment. however. a sug-
gestiOn was agreed upon that for col
leges the races should be varsity
eights. junior eights and freshmen
eights.
For the rowing clubs and such other
associations as might care to muster
crews il was thought that single and
double sCulls. fOur-oared shells and
eight-Oared shells would bring to-
gether the best civilians in America.
John \ Brown. who acted as SeCre-
tsrN Of the meeting and was subse-
quently elected to the same position
Tor the ensuing year. announced that
the program of events might be
heightened or shortened as the feeling
of the Oarsmen intending to compete
might require. II was agreed that all
races at the American Henley revival
will be TOwed over a distance Of one
mile 40 yards. which is the real Hem
ley route. The idea of longer races
was secuted. it being decided that no
college races should exceed a distance
of two miles.
The officers elected were Chairman
Hugh Cabot. Harvard; Julian w. Cur
tbs, Yale. vice chairman: Russell John
son, Union B. g. treasurer. and John

Everyone is well aware OF the fact
that the major leagues are to have
one OF the brightest seasons ever

10 be prosperous. why shouldn't the
local schools have a league in com
parison just as good as that OF the
majors. Before the war baseball in
the high schools was highly author
lied by the school oflcials. But now
that the war Is over IL Is understood
that baseball throughout the schools
will be greater than ever.
The faculty advisers seem 20 take
more interest in school sports. They
are willing in every way TO promote
the welfare Of the students. and they
issued an appeal to every student TO
participate in some school sport
Taking all in ALL the basketball
season has been a decided success
Each school has been able TO put on
the floor at least three teams. In
previous years only one or two teams
would he in progress. that being the
regulars and the reserves. There are
also two leagues in progress. and
these two leagues have developed won
derfUl basketball material The two
leagues in progress are the regular
and freshman quints.
