Cannefax Seems ON Verge
of Dethroning ALI. De Gro

When Robert Cannefax won the sec
ond block of the 150-point three -cush-
ion championship billiard match from
Alfredo De Orc at the Friars' Club
Friday night he gained such a COM
manding lead on the Cuban that it
seems the title is sure to change hands.
The Mound City player ran off his so
points while the veteran was accumu-
lating 80. He had previously won the
first block Thursday night by the close
score Of so to 4S in 72 innings of play.
but this left De Orc, who is reputcd
to be q good finisher-and justly So
within easy hailing distance. Last
night, however, there was 20 point
disparity between the two scores, lcav-
ing Cannefax total Of 100 to the
champions 78. This means that De
Orc will have to click off 72 points
IN the final and deciding block before
his young rival can accumulate 80.
This appears to be an almost hope
less handicap if Cannefax continues in
his present form. His playing has been
consistent all along much more CON
sistent, in fact, than De Oros. The
latter has the highest run Of the blocks
that have been played off. but on the
other hand he went the last nine in

Cornell Students
Showing e Up Well
I'm Track Athletics

ITHACA, N. Y, May 3.-Sixteen per
cent of the male students at Cornell
University are registered for track ath-
letics, according to statement made
to-day by Coach Jack Moakley, of the
varsity track team. This is the high
est percentage of students ever enrolled
in any sport at Cornell, and is regarded
by Coach Moakley as a striking evi-
dence that the Cornell policy of open
ing up the facilities of varsity teams
and the advantages of training under
varsity coaches to the undergraduate
body at large are making hit.
Out of the $500 male students en-
rolled here for the spring term, 400 are
regularly working out under Moakley,
choosing track as the form of exercise
they prefer. Moakley has had larger
squads, perhaps, but never such a high
ratio Of track candidates compared to
the total enrolment.
The track team proper is preparing
for the dual meet scheduled this
and for the intercollegiates. The
outlook is not so satisfactory as Cor
nellians had hoped, because the show
ing made by Cornell's antries at the
Pennsylvania relay carnival was not up
to pre-war standard.
In the weight events, both jumps and
the pole vault the Ithacans fell down
hard, and even the runners did not ap-
proach the speed of pre-war relay
teams at Ithaca. Moakley will have to
eliminate the field events, with the pos
slble exception of the running broad
jump, from his calculations What Cor
nell does on the track this year must
be accomplished by her runners, from
the 44o-yard dash to the twomile, and
by her hurdlers, with possibly some
help from the sprinters and broad
jumpers.

Expert Believes Penn
Grew May Get Revenge

Ensign Grover Farnsworth, coxswain
of the Syracuse eight in 1911, believes
the Penn crew has good chance of
turning the tables on the Navy when
the two meet on the Schuylkill in the
American Henley regatta, May 81.
Farnsworth is now the coxswain for
the Detroit Boat Club, and has wit
messed all the important rowing races
this year, including the Penn-Navv
race.
"The Navy boat outrowed Pennsyl-
vania, but the middies have an unusual
crew this year." Farnsworth said
This is partly due to the fact that the
Naval Academy is at present larger
than it ever was before, but mostly be-
cause every midshipman is required to
take rowing. In this way every man
comes under. the observation Of the
