Hazing Still a Problem
 at the Naval Academy

rzuE United States Naval academy
 at Annapolis is having another one of its periodic hazing scandals. From, time to time this institution gets a great deal of notoriety from the obullient spirits of its students, and ii isn't long after hazing has been astamped out" or put down" before there is another outbreak of such a serious nature that the navy depart ment is brought into the controversy.
 Secretary Daniels stated yesterday that he would order all midshipmen expelled from the academy If they were found guilty of hazing, regard less of the number implicated. If the young men whom !ncle Sam is train- ing at considerable expense to be of ficers in the navy cannot conduct themselves with reasonable decorum it is evident that they would be more useful as strike-breakers, or in some other civilian pursuit which does not call for the highest type of leadership and self-control. Mir. Daniels made a sensible observation when he said, ~These students will soon be officers, and unless they can take orders now they will not be fit to give them later."
 In most of the larger educational institutions of the country hazing- at least in it's most reprehensible form --is no longer tolerated, either by the school authorities or the student bodies. It is easy to understand the psychology of hazing. Every man or woman who attended college is apt to view the superior airs upper classmen assume over new students with some degree of sympathy. If hazing were nothing more than an attempt to show the freshman that he is a meek and lowly person com- pared to a sophomore, junior or senior, and must observe certain rules of conduct to denote his in- feriority, there would be little criti- cism of the practice. The absurdi- ties of lodge limitations are no worse than most college hazing.
 Unfortunately the college age is not the age of discretion. Young men and boys who indulge in hazing don't know when to stop. In the past students have been so brutally mistreated they were injured for life. Even when no i'll effects followed, unrestrained hazing has frequently led to juvenile barbarities that dis graced the institutions where they oc- cured.
 If wholesale expulsions from An  napolis were to follow Mir. Daniels of- ficial decree, it would probably create new enemies, political and otherwise, for the navy's head, but it might eventually be found an excellent thing for the service.

NOT A SOLO

NOT A SOLO Well it was all your fault" said the motorist to the man whom he had just run down.
 You flatter yourself" replied the pe- destrian, as he brushed the dust from his clothes. The streets are full of au- tomobiles. Do you think you play a different tune on that confounded horn of yours from all the others?"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Name NIisIcading

q would like to know just who se- leets those perfectly adorable names for our modern football teams" said Miss Josephine Joliet Jones. Bull dogs, Panthers, Wildcats and Tigers surely they are a handsome array, and often they look the part, although they seldom play with the ferocity that their savage names would imply.
 Their nomenclature certainly must come from the geological department of the classical institutions of learning that they represent. The back to na- ture theory is all r..sht if 1t is true to nature. but it is disappointing to go to a game scheduled between the Tigers and Wildcats and leave the grandstand feeling as though the game was really played between the kittens and lambs"

Double Cross

'rhe double-barred cross is being used by the Anti-Tuberculosis associa- tion this year" said Dr. Morris New field, president of the Alabama Tuber- culosis association. "It has been adopt ed as the international emblem of the fight against tuberculosis and stands for the control and elimination of this disease. This is the cross that Is taking the place of the Red Cross on the Christmas seal this year. as no Red Cross will appear on the seals sold this year. as they will have the double bar Instead.

$l,25O,OOO Price Asked
By Frazee for Red Sox

BOSTON, March s.-Sale Of Fenway
Park, home grounds Of the Boston
American League Baseball Club, which
was advertised to be held at auction
to-day. was postponed week as a re-
suit OF court proceedings brought by
President H. H. Frazee. subsequently,
Frazee said that his differences with
former President J. j. Lannin prob
ably would be settled out of court
within day or two.
Lannin claims that Frazee has failed
to meet a note for $4,000 given as
lart payment for the club. When
Frazee was heard in court to-day on a
bill in equity to prevent the sale of
the grounds to satisfy this claim. the
court suggested postponement sale. and
Frazee agreed to deposit $3.50 600 as
security.
Frazee dismissed as unfounded d
rumors that deal for sale of the
club to local interests was pending.
He said that he had set price Of
S1,250000 on the club to local interests
last year, and that the price has not
changed since. nor has any move been
made toward negotiations for sale,

fore Outdoor Season
By A. C. Cavaenaro

The clubs Of the Metropolitan Asso-
citation are making every effort to help
the recently reorganzed Military Ath-
letlc League regain It's former promi-
nent place in the athletic world. This
is manifest in the events for members
Of the National Guard units that are
being listed for practically every set
OF games scheduled for the near
future. Although the soldiers began
their reorganization last Sunday, four
races for them have already been
carded.
The John Wanamaker Commercial
Institute followed the lead Of other
clubs yesterday when it announced
that one-nlile handicap relay event
had been added for the soldier athletes
at its games at the 22d Regiment Ar
mory on March 81.
Other races for the National Guard
men are to follow quickly. The 18th
Post, American Legion, which is to
give 10 per cent Of it's profits toward
the establishing of an American Olym-
pic Fund, has also arranged a relay
event and middlc-distanc contest
for the soldiers. A medley relay race,
handicap, will be added on the pro-
be held early next month
Carl Brandt, the sensational Buffalo
athlete, will make his first metropoli-
tan appearance at the Frank b. Whit
ney Post, American Legion, games at
the LIST Regiment Armory, Newark,
next Wednesday evening. Brandt, a
Junior indoor national champion sew
eral years ago, recently proved that
he had lost none Of his old speed, win
ming three races In one evening in his
home town.
Brandt will start in both the special
bOO-yard run and the 660-yard handi-
cap race at the Newark games In the
special event the Buffalo boy will be
pitted against Frank Lagny, William
Kelly and Jimmy O'Brien, a quartet Of
speedy men for the distance.
Delegates of the erscctional Ath-
Lotto League will meet in the Wana-
maker store this evening to complete
details for the leagues races, to be
held at the 22d Regiment Armory on
March 27. Besides the championship
road run, it is intended also to stage q
medley relay race at one and one-uuar-
ter miles for the championship among
the small clubs of the city.
Sidney Leslie, Millrose A. A., is the
latest entry for the senior. one-mile
metropolitan Association champion
ship, carded at the New York Postotlice
Clerks Association games, at the 69th
Regiment Armory Saturday evening.
The former crosse country king is
said to be in splendid shape, and will
run against Andy Craw, Harry Wigger
snd George Cornetta. Roger Daisiey.
Loren Nurchison and Tommy Lennon
are late entries for the 300-yard hand-
cup run.

kunsagae to Meet
American Tennis
Experts in Cuba

CH1YA KUMAGAE, Of Japan, who
was ranked at No. 8 last year In
the first ten," is doing his lawn
tennis championship hunting early
tms season. He is now playing in
the Florida state title tournament
and looks to be an almost certain
winner. AS soon as he has finished
at Palm Beach, Ishiya will make a
dash for Havana, Cuba, either by
boat or airplane, and compete In
the Cuban championship tourney on
the courts of the Vedado Tennis
Club.
Here he will encounter more
serious opposition, for Howard
Noshell and other high ranking
players will take the courts, but the
little Japanese looks like the best
of the lot. From Cuba, Kumagae
Will probably journey to Pinehurst,
n. c., to compete in the annual
North and South championship,
starting early next month. Thus, by
the time the outdoor season starta
here, lchiya may hold three new
championships. A goodly BEGIN

Football Periods

PHILADELPHIA, March a.-John H.
Heisman, newly appointed coach of the
University of Pennsylvania football
team, favors the proposal to substi-
tute certain number Of plays for q
certain period of time to determine the
length Of football games.
1T is q good rule" he said, "and

ing do not know ofF-hand how the
details could be worked out, but Penn
sylvania's representatives should be
instructed to support the proposal at

mittee in New York next week
II also think it would be good
thing to change the scoring to give A
points for balls lost within five yards
of the opponents goal line, 3 points
inside the l0-yard line and Q points in
side the 20-yord line. Thus, there
would be no time games where one
team distinctly outplayed the OTTER"
