PENN VARSITY g"
Off FOR BOSTON
Red and Blue, Led by Coach
Wright, Ready for Satur-
days Big Race

Penn's varsity eight will leave this
afternoon for Boston, where the trt-
angular race with Princeton and Har-
ward is to be held Saturday afternoon.
The scene of the race will be laid on
the Charles river. just outside the Hub
City. In the Penn party will be Coacn
Wright and tho varsity eight. Con :
trary TO the general opinion, tho race
on Saturday is for the varsity cights
only.
The Red and Blue oarsmcu will leave
feeling more confident than they have
at any time since the defeat by Yale.
For the last two weeks tho same eight
has been rowing together. and according
to one Of tho veteran oarsmcn, it Is tho
best in years. Since Wright started
his shake-un nfter tho Yale race hc
has been working for balance Of power
in the varsity eight. and he thinks he
has at last succeeded in finding the
right combination.
Harvard lost 10 the Navy by four
and one half lengths on Monday after
noon. and Penn figures that the varsity
eight of the Red and Blue is as fast
as the Navy. The sixteen mile daily
grind has given the oarsmcu greater
strength for the sprint down the
stretch. something they lacked against
Yale. and they expect this punch IN
carly them across the finish line ahead
Of the Crimson and Tiger eights.
Yesterday Wright took the junior aud
varsity eight to the upper Schuykill
course and sent them through several
sprints over the distance that approx
mates that to be rowed Saturday after
noon. Tomorrow afternoon n practice
spin is scheduled over the Charles river
course and tho same tomorrow morning
and afternoon.
Carl Thomas. veteran IF the last two
years, will stroke the Red and Blue
eight. Ellison will be at No. I. lIinrk-
lev at No. 6. McElroy at No. D. Cope

Football practice was called off yes
tprday afternoon by Coach Heisman,
who delivered lecture to the Candi
dates in the fencing room. He out .
Tined the parts tho candidates must play
during tho training period. what the
coach idea was on tho subject and
gave them general football talk Cap
tain Bud Hopper and Line ConCh
Wharton also addressed the candidates.

A Mans Past
LNRED FULTON'S past was not what
"A correct historian would outline as
heroic.
Most Of those who followed his for
tunes whispered yellow" and Fulton
called himself faker.
But with so many Of the other heavy
weight stars indulging themselves so
iauntily in moving picture and theat-
ricaI life, Fulton has been fighting. He
took fresh start in his profession and
filled in the gap left by those higher up
higher up in championship way.
A mans past may frequently haunt
him. but it cant overshadow the proper
sort of present and future.
Fulton of late has been making good.
He may yet show from just how far
back one can come who selects the cor
rect highway.
The Early Curb
THE prize for finishing first in the
l. next world series will be about $1,000
an athlete.
The prize for losing world series
will be close to $4,000. Clubs that finish
second will net each member on the
payroll enough to meet years rent
with the % per cent increase tackled on.
Thc modern athlete is no sucker when
II comes to finance. He knows all this.
This should mean harder baseball and
greater hustling. It will also mean
more trouble for the umpire.
His close decisions are now being
figured also in matters of dollars and
half dollars, cents no longer counting.
The only thing you can buy with cent
now is a match that has already been
struck.
Hence there are signs that the moody
and melancholy athlete will be un-
usually inclined to lift patches of the
umpire's scalp at every open chance.
The ump in turn has but one re =
coursc--and this is to apply the curb
extremely soon.
