Edward Little to
Hold Track Meet

An Edward Little interclass track
meet will be held Monday afternoon
May 9, on Garcelon Field, Bates COL
lege Coach Crosby has had the meet
in mind for a long time, in fact since
the first Of the season, but was held
up arranging for the use of Garcelon
field.
The meet is in keeping with his
track plans this season. Although the
boys have not had suitable place to
practice on they are at least to have
a sort Of preliminary tryout on real
track before the Hebron meet, May
IA. A. A. A. park is poor enough as a
baseball field but it is twice as poor
for track events and Crosby figures
that the interclass meet ought to
loosen up both the tracksters and the
enthusiasm of the now almost de-
funct track fans. The latter lost all
interest after Lewiston's refusal this
season of q meet on the cinder path.
Captain Edwin II. Carnage in addi-
ton to plotting his team is, entering
almost every event-broad and high
jump, sprints, quarter and half mile
and others.
Entries must be made by Friday in
order to compete Monday. AS yet
Coach Crosby hasn't given out any
times but has been worrying a stop
! watch to death every afternoon OF
practice.

NAVY Formally Invited

Annapolis, Md, May 5-Chances of
the Annapolis Midshipmen entering
their rowing crews in the annual
Poughkeepsie regatta were given
much further impetus when it was
announced that the formal invitation
from Charles Holstead Mapes of CO.
lumbia, Chairman Of the Board of
Stewards, had been received and is
under consideration by rowing au-
thorities of the Naval Academy. De-
finite announcement as to whether
the middies will be entered may be
expected at any time.
AS far as the oarsmen themselves
are concerned, they are extremely
anxious to get into the big classic,
and those of the senior class who will
be graduated early in June have sig
nif1ed their intention of foregoing
their leave in order to participate.

Lewis Will Not Quit

Ed (Strangler) Lewis, champion
heavyweight wrestler denies the re-
port that he intends to retire follow
ing his match with Stanislaus Zbysz-
ko, Polish mat veteran, which will be
held at New York Friday night. 1t
had been reported when the match was
first made that Lewis would withdraw
from competition regardless of the re-
suit. The champion explained to
party of friends who saw him training
that the report reached this city
through an error in the Interpretation
of message he had sent to western
critic. Lewis said he wired the critic
that the coming match would close the
local season and that he intended to
retire to his home after the engage
ment with Zbyszko. This message.
Lewis said, was evidently miscon-
strued.
IF I am to retire after M match
with Zhy on Friday night, I ought
to be the one to know about it," said
Lewis. Il have no intention of re-
firing and this goes no matter what is
the result Of the coming bout. 1t is
too bad such report was circulated,
for it is ridiculous. have been on the

feel that l am entitled to a rest. How
ever, if someone will make me an at

PLANS UNDERWAY
FOR BASKETBALL
LEAGUE IN N. E.
by Beck


Boston, Mass, May 5--Preliminary
arrangements for the formation of
New England Intercollegiate basket
ball conference were formulated in
Boston, Sunday, by committee of,
three, composed of Prof. Carpenter Of
Worcester Tech, director of athletics,
Prof. Smell of Brown University, and
Prof. w. H. Cowell, director of ath-
letics at New Hampshire State Col
lege and it is now practically an as
sured thing that such conference
will be formally organized at the next
meeting at Boston, May 20.
Professors Cowell, Smell and Car
penter from the above colleges were
nominated Il year ago to go into such
a proposed league of the New Eng
land colleges to determine the cham
pionship of New England basketball
and to promote and create an added
interest in the game. Letters were
sent to the various colleges to sound
them out on the proposition with the
result that the following colleges an
swered favorably to the proposition:
University of Maine, Bates, New
Hampshire State, Brown, Tufts, Bos-
ton College, Massachusetts Institute
of Technology. Amherst, Mass. Aggie,
Worcester Polytechnical Institute of
Technology, Springfield. Middlebury,
Vermont and Springfield College. So
a meeting was held Sunday to start
| the ball rolling for next season when
iS m q
be formed.
At the meeting Sunday the commit
tee decided to divide the league into
two divisions: Maine, Bates, New
Hampshire State, Tufts. Boston Col
1ege, Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
lnology, Rhode Island State to COM
prise the Eastern division and the re-
manning colleges the Western division
and that the winners of the respec-
tive divisions r aet at the end Of the
season in a les of best two out Of
three games that each team should
play one championship game with
the other team in their division and
that the schedules should be adjust
ed so as to meet the requirements.
/ The matter of special requirements
were taken up and it was decided to
recommend the enforcement of the
one year migratory rule for the
league and scholastic requirements of
the colleges. 1t was also decided not
to enforce the Freshmen rule, as the
majority of the colleges objected to
this. There will also probably be a
rule that man to be eligible for the
league shall be in college by Oct. l. of
the college year. 1t is expected that
the formation of the basketball
league will lead to a future baseball
conference of the New England col
leges and possibly one in football.
There has been a great demand for
the conference among the colleges in
New England for sometime past, but
this is the first real action.
1t was also decided that a. commit
tee of six faculty members from col
leges included in the group shall con-
stitute the governing board. Prof
! Carpenter of Worcester Tech is tenn
porary chairman of the committee
