HARVARD SHOWS
BIC THREE WAY
Candidates for Two Varsity
Teams Report; Yale and
vA Tigers May Follow.

Harvard. the ultra-conservative. Is
boldly setting an example for the other
members of the Big Three. On the
first day of the second semester can
didates for two of the varsity sports
were called out and a goodly number
OF students reported to the respective
coaches.
This is the first real action at Har-
ward. Princeton or Yale to revive ath-
leucs on formal basis. and it shows
without a bit of the wel-known
shadow of doubt that the Big Three
vii be in the big swim of intercol
legiate sports this spring for the first
time since the war began.
An athletic schedules at the three in
stitutions were Cancelled two years ago
except informally.
On their way to the opening classes
the students were greeted with post
eTs on bulletin boards urging them to
report Tor the crew squad and the
hockey team. The latter sport is
major activity at the Cambridge in
stttution. and the players who make
the team are entitled to the varsity
letter. Hockey is a substitute for bas-
ketball at Harvard.
Coach Haines had the rowing can
didates out at the boathouse on
Charles River. but they did not par
ucipate in any work. Instead the
graduate rowing tutor spoke to them
Of the possibility of the revival of the
sport on large basis, and told them
that work on the indoor machines
would be well under way next week.
On Monday the call will be issued
for track athletics. and Coach Pooch
Donovan will meet the candidates
at Soldiers Field. A board track
has been erected at the stadium and
all the Indoor" training will be
done outdoors. as is the case at
Franklin Field.
1t is said around the campus that
Hughie Duffy will be re-engaged to
coach the baseball team. Plans are
being laid for boxing and wrestling
this winter.

Canal, the Liverpool dock and town
dues were further reduced from this
u cents per ton to 48 cents per ton.
Liverpool rates took the same course
when Manchester began to import
grain. The dock dues on wheat and
corn were at once reduced from 81
cents to "a cents per ton at Liverpool,
and by II cents per ton at Birkenhead.
The a1l-water route the Ship Canal
could offer of course at once affected
the railways. The railway rate for cot
ton from Liverpool to Manchestek
dropped from $21S to $1.74 per ton,
with a corresponding reduction to
neighboring towns.
At the same time the railroad rate
for export piece goods and yarns from
Manchester to Liverpool dropped from
&43 to $194 per ton.
OF course, during the war period the
rates and charges at all British ports
were necessarily increased, but, as
much as ever, the water in the Ship
Canal still enables Manchester to keep
her advantage.
Within so miles of Manchester City
lives an industrial population of nine
million souls-a population roughly
equal to that of Greater New York and
Chicago.
Of this population nearly a quarter
can be reached from the Port of Man
chester entirely by the network of
canals operated in connection with the
Manchester Ship Canal. 80 :.
Connecting Rail and Waterways
The Manchester Ship Canal Com
pany maintains the services of termi-
nal company at the Manchester Docks,
itself receiving and delivering the
traffic in freight cars from and to the
different railroads at their functions.
In this way it connects directly with
all the railroads of the country.

But the plan and execution of the
Ship Canal were such that land is yet
available for such additional railways
as may be required, large choice of
warehouse and factory sites fronting
on deep water may be yet obtained.
For the lifetime of this generation,
an even faster growth than the Man
chester Ship Canal dare anticipate will
yet keep the word congestion foreign
to its vocabulary.
The Magic of the Ship Canal.
The story begins in the middle of the
10Th century. At that time Manchester
was prosperous-in fact, to her most
of the modern industries of the world
owe their origin, and she was reaping
the reward of her creative and inven-
tive genius-but Manchester was not
port.
The rapid development of overseas
commerce brought her only decay and
stagnation. Her trade was rapidly and
steadily slipping away to other centers.
The significant fact was that these
places were seaports, Manchester was
merely an important inland city.
She had no waterway to the sea

The district in which these towns,
nearer to Manchester than any other
open steamship port, are situate, COM
prises an area of 10000 square miles.
AS the whole world knows, the larg-
est and most important cotton-spinning
and weaving district in the world is
Immediately contiguous to the Man
chester Docks.
How Manchester Lowered Rates.
Let us take two striking examples Of
how Manchester lowered rates.
So early in the game as during the
first attempt to obtain Parliamentary
sanction for construction of the Canal,
the Mersey Docks and Harbour
Board, till then deaf to all requests
for a reduction in the cost of getting
raw cotton to the mill and the
manufactured article to the export
going steamers which regularly load
Evening star., 1919-06-17

raw materials unloaded at Liverpool,
had to be reloaded for rail transit to
Manchester and then again reloaded
for distribution throughout the coun-
try.
By hard experience Manchester then
learned, and she has never forgotten,
that every handling of bale of cotton
or case of goods costs money.
In 1882 some prominent citizens met
at the house of Mr.. Daniel Adamson.
Little did the people of the city inn
agine that from this small gathering
would spring an enterprise which
would completely alter their whole
history and turn rapidly decaying
district into one of the most prosper
Gus areas of the British Isles.
This was the magic destined to be
wrought by the Manchester Ship
Canal.
The Inland City Becomes a Sea-
port.
At the meeting it was explained that
the cost of inland carriage and ex-
penses of what should have been un-
necessary and avoidable handling was
surely and steadily choking Manches-
ter trade.
There is," exclaimed Mr.. Adamson,
"a remedy, and one remedy only-a
waterway, which will give practically
unlimited docking and warehousing ia
cilities to the shippers of the world"
Having settled upon the remedy
they Immediately set to work to put
into operation the scheme decided upon
that of great Ship Canal, destined
to rank in importance, if not in magni-
tude, with those of Suez and Panama.
1t must not be imagined, however,
that the scheme, sound and practical
as it was, was permitted to go through
without strong opposition. Some peo-
pie even regarded the idea as pre-
posterous.
Its promoters applied to Parliament
for power to proceed with it's construc
ton in 1888, but, after long and cost

What Manchester Means to Cot

To the whole world the word
Manchester" is almost synonymous
with Cotton.
Between half and three quarters
of a million bales of cotton from Amer

at Manchester, or nearly 209o of the
total cotton coming to- the British
