[By Norman f. Brown. ]

We have been kept quite busy of
late months writing about the great
influx of European athletes of every
kind and description who have come
to seek glory at the expense Of the
L. 5. athletic fraternity. SO it gives
us great pleasure, as the after DIM
rer hounds say, to say few words
q bout some American stars who have
set sail to show 'em how" over on
the other side.
We refer to the four women golf
stars who are headed for the British
Isles to play for the British wom-
ems championship in the matches at
Newcastle, County Down, Ireland,
May 10.
The four intrepid golfers are Mrs.
Clarence H. Eanderbeck and the
Misses Mildred Caverly, Marion Hol-
Inns and Rosamonde Sherwoode. Miss
Alexia Stirling. national champion.
and Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow, Eastern
champ, were expected to sail with the
ether four women but could not. Golf
critics are confident, however. that
the four members Of the party now
on the high seas can give good
account of themselves against the
best shots Great Britain can produce.
Mrs. Vanderbeck drew nationwide
attention as early as 1915 when she
met Alexia Stirling IN the semi final
round of the national tourney on the

Among the many interesting old

This picturesque residence has a his
tory going back to 1870. but 1t re-

spite of the fact that there never was

been taught to walk correctly. Elk
baustiye and definite tests of the
manner Of locomotion among the first
year men disclosed the fact that but
a small percentage Of them stood or
walked correctly. and were thus
making for ailments calculated to
seriously handicap their chances for
good health-not to mention success
in later life.
From strictly sporting stand
point, however, perhaps the greatest
benefit to be found in the new sys-
ten. is the increased number of as
piring oarsmen created by the COM
pulsory schedule. Since indoor prac-
tice was first called, nearly 100 fresh
men have been working out daily az
the machines in the famous Weld
boathouse-somethin that was al
almost unheard of in Harvard ath-
letic circles before.
According to Coach Haines. there
is an entirely new phase to the com
pusory athletic system that is quite
apt to be overlooked. He refers to
the fact that a surprising number of
nrSt year men Sho" much natural
ability in various branches. and in
variably they are young men whom
the ordinary athletic coach or train
er would least suspect possessed such
ability Hanes declares the system
encourages the boys to show their
best because they are certain they
will not be compared with seasoned
athletes, and therefore they go about
their stunts with naturalness that
Is indeed refreshing. Haines of
course, is most vitality interested in
rowing since he has charge of that
sport, but he has also taken sur
vey of other lines ard predicts the
compulsory athletic plan is one of
the best things done at Harvard in
the past decade. The system will be
improved slightly before the 1920-21
term opens next fall.

Opinion is divided here as to what

May Standardize Ice
Skating Regulations

Thru Alfred F.. F1ath, of Brooklyn.
former promoter OF ice skating con-
tests. and unquestionably one Of the
real authorities OF the sport which
has come to the front so rapidly in
the past two years, an EFFORT will be
made to form an International or
ganization for the purpose OF laying
down a uniform system for holding
world championship affairs.
Flath makes no denial that his
action is the result of the defeat Of
| Bobby Mclean by oscar Mathieson
! in Norway the past winter, nor does
he attempt to alibi for the Yankee
| skater, other than to mention that
! Mclean was greatly handicapped by
Norway competition conditions that
are entirely new to American speed
| skaters. Flath has already enlisted
a hundred or more speed skating
fans of the east in his project. and
there is a likliness he Will cross the
Atlantic this summer to interest
Europeans in the plan.
The Brooklynite says Mclean
could hardly have expected to win
against Mathieson in the latters
country, because conditions there
with regard to titular events are so
unusual none of the American skat-
ers have ever tried to meet them.
He also takes Mclean to task for
accepting such n match on short
notice and after a particularly busy
cabaret season in Chicago, during
which he has no chance to look after
his physical well being.
According to FVath, Norway speed
tracks are longer than our tracks in
this country. hut the turns are short
err and all the skaters have adopted
skates best suited to such tracks.
1T seems like simple matter" says
F1ath. but the setting of the shoe
to the foot and more particularly the
grinding OF the runners have a lot
of bearing on a large track. The
ends of the skates should be ground
TO a radius to suit the turns. These
are but details. to be sure, hut they
were overlooked by Mclean and they
contributed to his defeat"
1t is a fact that Americans in
Norway at the time of McLean's de-
feat. were provoked because the
Chicagoan permitted the races to be
staged on the pursuit style. They
expected Mclean to select the
scratch style, since he won the toss
and had the privilege Of selecting.
The pursuit style is the favorite OF
the Norway skater. and its adoption
gave Mathieson a great advantage at
the start. F1ath intimates the cold
weather affected the American too.
