Cornell Athletes
Ready for Opening g
OF Track Season

ITHACA, n. Y, Feb. 19.-Cornells
track athletes will make their first ap-
pearance of the season next Saturday,
when they meet Harvard and Dart
mouth at Boston. On account of the
new policy in vogue at Ithaca, which
triangular meets rather than frequent
competition by a few athletes in open
meets, Jack Moakley plans to send all
of his promising men into the Boston
meet, and next month against Michi-
gan at Ann Arbor.
Although Moakley will enter men in
every event, the main hopes Of the
Ithacans are centered in the runners,
from the 440-yard race up, not only in
This meet, but for the future. Except
in the high jump, where Ramsey, an in
tercollegiate point winner for two
years, is showing good form, the Red
squad lacks capable field men. There
is a scarcity of heavy men in the
weight events, while Miller, the only
GOOD broad jumper, is in poor physical
condition.
So far no pole vaulters of note have
appeared, though there is some eXpec-
tation that Gouinlock, an end on last
wears football team, will come out
Before coming to Cornell he vaulted at
Lafayette and had mark Of II feet.
In the shorter runs, 800, 440 and
600, the Ithacans are relying on Carl
John, an intercollegiate point winner
in the quarter; H. H. Smith, of last
years freshman team; Duncan Smith,
a former Exeter captain; Chapman, of
last years varsity, and Richman and
Conraidis, of last years freshman
eleven.
In the 1,000-yard run and the mile
Carter and McDermott, the two cross
country cracks, will be CornelPs main
stays, though Irish and Bonsal, also
barriers and mlers on last years
freshman team; Strickler, who got
fifth in the intercollegiate mile year
ago, and Harper, of last years var
sity, are also prominent.
For the longer runs Moakley will
count or N. P. and R, f. Brown, Dick
inson. Lentz and other cross-country
runners, and on Ward, of last years
freshman team.

Mid-Year Exams Deplete
Ranks of W. & I. Athletes

WASHINGTON. Pa, Feb 19.-Mid-
year examinations have wrought havoc
with Washington and Jefferson ath-
letes, no less than three stars being
eliminated from present competition,
with one completely without the pale
Of the college. and several others SO
perilously near the danger line that
their scholastic work must be above
par 80 to speak for the remainder Of
the year, if they are to be eligible to
represent their institution in sports.
Armstrong the big right tackle on
the football team, who came here from
Penn, where he also was a freshman
star, has been dropped from the col
lege ranks permanently. 1t appears
that Armstrong had incurred so many
classroom cuts" that even had he
been able to make the required grades
at the end of the recent semester he
would hardly have beep allowed to con-
tiuue his work

HAVANA, Cuba, Feb. 19.-Koran.
with Jockey Fields in the saddle, took
the Elcuarto Handicap, the feature of
a splendid card at Oriental Park to-
day. The surprise of the race was the
poor showing of the odds-on -favorite
Attaboy II. Koran quickly raced To-
calo into submission, then drew away
to win in drive by length. She ran
the six furlongs in 1:t2 As.
The form players received a Jolt in
the first race when Montime, the 3-to-:
favorite, went down to defeat, finishing
outside the money Her race was a
very poor performance, the filly being
outrun from the start. Elias o. was re-
turned the winner, leading Athgarven

throw
Other Good Ones
Among the other good ones who may
or may not be able to get away are
Jesse Guilford, Oswald KiEkby, J. Wood
Platt, Jesse Sweetser, Fred Wright and
several others listed among the Leaders.
If Fownes had been able TO count
upon G~sns and 0uimet he would prob
ably have held his team TO the six
strongest men in sight. But if these
two must be eliminated he may try to
make up in quantity for the loss of
equality as brought about by the ab-
sence Of two such players.
There are many golfers over hers
who compare very favorably with Tol-
ley, Armour, Wethered and Hope, tn,
four British amateurs who came over
last September.
These four will be better in home
surroundings, much stronger golfer
than they looked TO be over here, wherS
Armour was the only one of the four tc
qualify. And later on Armour wa
beaten repeatedly in many tournament.
although he is rated as one Of the besC
of the British amateurs. 1t was A.
mour's opinion upon his arrival back
home that British golf had little TO
fear from any American invasion. but
this statement doesn't seem to be IN
strict accord with the developments Of
the last year.
After Seventeen Years
It will be seventeen years this com
ing June since Walter J. Travis won hi5
British title and no American golfer
has ever repeated since. Travers aDa
Evans each failed twice to make 2p.
notable headway. 0uimet failed to gel
TeTy far or his lone attempt. The be-
showing since was made bv Heinie
Schmidt in 1913, when he carried Har-
old Hilton an extra hole III the sixth
round, and by Bob Gardner, just year,
ago. when lie reached the final and then
faltered badly on the greens.
Even il Evans and 0uimet fail 70
make the trip, there is still q strong
chance that one from a team composed
Of Jones, Gardner. Heron, Fownes,
Msrston, Lewis. Whitney, etc, may
turn the trick.
They will find plenty of competition
from Tolley, Wethered Michael Scott.
Hope, Armour, Jenkins and a few more.
but 1t will hardly be up 10 the compet-
ton offered in the days of Hilton and
Ball. Hilton over his home course al
Holyoke may still be a strong candi
date, but it is hardly probable that hC
can stand the strain of lasting out

mere youth.
Bill Fownes. being a constructive and

the trip. 1t may not include eyslv

The Harvard match was by the far
the closest that either team has had

cans had a monopoly on the game,
drawing down the big money for years
past, when such riders as Root, Fogler,
Moran. Magin, Goullet and a score of
others shared the fruits among them
selves.
The foreigners were usually out
numbered in siX-day races, ana the
best that can be said of them is that

Baetes, Van Hevel, Vandenberg, Van

After conference with Tex Rickard
yesterday regarding the talent to be
contracted for for next months race,
John NJ. Chapman. who will manage
the coming event, said:

down most of the big money in this

youngsters develop more rapidly. Hun

games a matter of athletic history, it
would seem that the 1921 indoor sea-
son had reached its peak. but there

tries have been received for the vari-
Gus events, but the program is not
confined to quantity by any means, for
practically every athlete of note in the
East and number of Westerners of
national repute will start.
One Of the features is a special
half-mile race in which several cham
pous will clash for a trophy which
has been donated by the president of
the shipyard corporation. The field
will take the post in this order; Jack
