In Sportdon1
BY Walter Camp:

Dr. Charles Whelan, director OF
athletics at Harvard, is taking leaf
out of the foot ball books by going in
for the movies. For some years
now foot ball coaches have been
making sporadic uses of motion pic
lures of practice and games to show
players their faults. With the new.
eight-speed camera there 10 hardly
any motion made in any athletic
event that cannot be analysed
thoroughly as a medical student dis1
sects a cadaver. Such views as have
been put on for the use Of tho public
with these machines. are merely en-
tertaining. but when brought into the
pupils. faults Of form can be shown
up with startling vivdness. and then
1t is only a matter Of correction.
There certainly will be some strange
things going on between the umpire
and pitcher under the new base ball
rules. Practically. q pitcher is al
lowed to do nothing nowadays with
the ball except throw 1t to the bats
man. He may remove the glove and
rub the ball with his bare hand. II
he stops to do this on every ball
pitched the crowds certainly will
rebel. There is a story going that
the finger nails will be used on balls
under these conditions. But the
hardest part OF all will be for pitch
ers to avoid the old habits into which
they have dropped. Cmpires will
out the new rules strictly there will
be a lot OF trouble. particularly If
pitchers are not endeavoring to cor
rect these old habits.

HISTORIC BOATHOUSE
GIVES WAY TO elements

The historic College boathouse, on
tho banks Of the sohuylkill river, in
Philadelphia, can no longer be used
by tho University OF Pennsylvania
oarsmen. because Of its damaged con-
dition. Since 1872 1t has been a pic
turesque landmark. 1t is cotempo-
rary with the birth Of rowing at the
university.
Time has laid heavy hand on the
ancient structure. For the last dve
years IT has struggled against the
ravages of the elements. but in the
past winter the storms caused a por-
ton Of It's walls to collapse.
Repairing is out Of the question.
since the whole wall is shaky and
stones have fallen on the inside.
causing considerable damage to the
shells and barges stored there.
The College Boat Club was organ
lied as part OF the schuykill Navy,
and the boathouse was built a short
time after. Capt" John Smith. who
has guarded the Eniversity OF Penn
sylvania shells for twenty three
years, looks upon the structure as
"g host of the past"
