PENN OARsMEN INELIGIBLE.

Special Despatch 10 THE NEw YoRK HERALD.
PHILADELPHIA. March, 2S.-Penn's
varsity crews received a severe jolt to-
day when 1t was learned that five oars
men are ineligible. including Copeland,
stroke: George Singer. Bob Rugh. Phil
Williams and Joe Loosen. They VIII
be temporarily on the blacklist due
to scholastic standing. although Shum-
way, the manager. believes some OF
them will be able 20 pass denominations
and thus become eligible. In that case
there Is still n possibility that they may
be able TO row against Yale April 16.
This loss affects both crews, as Cope
land and Rugh were on the heavy COM
bination, while Singer, Williams and
Loosen were seated behind Mitchell. As
a result Coach Joe Wright is forced 70

SURPRISES MARK
SQUASH TOURNEY
Top Ranking Players ELM
mated in Club Cham
pionship Play.

II was a day of startling upsets and
mild surprises on the courts Of the
Yale Club yesterday. when the second
round matches In both the Princeton
Club and Yale Club squash tennis cham
pionships were played Harold r. Mix
sell. Princeton Club titleholder and fifth
in national rank. was the first victim
OF a form reversal. Outsteadied through
out his match. his hard hitting availed
him little and he was eliminated by
II. d. Harvey after an extra game
1f--15, 15-7. 15--i3. Then Thomas
r. Coward. national class B champion
and regarded as the second best player
on the Yale Club squad. went down
TO surprising defeat at the hands OF Otis
Guernsey, the former Yale football star.
Coward appeared to have the match
well In hand in the final game, in which
he led 13--6, but he developed q streak
of wild hitting. and telltale after tell
tale enabled his opponent to come from
behind and win by score of 1S-l4
1-15, 1S-14.
There came near being another re-
versal In the match between AugustC
J. Cordier, Yale Club title holder and
last years national champion and Don
aid S. Baker The latter outplayed his
opponent by a convincing margin ir
the second game and for a long time
in the third more than held his own
He was unable to maintain the pace
long enough, however. In the last few
minutes Of the match Cordier took tn
aggressive. set whirIwind pace ant
found Baker tiring. Cordier took Tn,
game at 15-S.
Another who was extended beyond
expectations was Livingston Platt in hi.
match with Stuart II. johnson. Tn,
latter although rated far below his op
ponent, succeeded in taking one gam,
and In forcing Plat to his best speed al
the way.

At the same hour Sir Phillip was paying tribute to Father Duffy, as "a gallant man, gen. tleman and a sportsman"

 Every man is popular with somebody, even if it is merely with himself.
 Not two women in each hundred are built after the model they would have selected if they had had choice.
 The fellow who lets we'll enough alone has his uses. He makes the way easier for the fellow who doesn't.
 Of course you know that you are entitled to something better. But you can't understand why the other fellow isn't satisfied win what he has.
 It is all right to tell her that you would gladly die for her when you are courting her. But it harts likell to pay life insurance premiums after you marry her.
 Anyway, the girl who Is wearing a lSnee-high skirt doesn't have to walk like she was Wading in creek
 Somehow or other, the girl who smokes cigarettes gives you the impress sion that her kisses wouldn't be very sweet.
 The reason woman wants to go to heaven is because she knows she can wear something loose up there and be in style.
 Any woman can dress in half hour if you'll give her an extra hour to get the shine off her face. < farmer can't understand how any man can earn an honest living by sit ting at desk.
 Women may not displace men in other lines. But they should make elegant painters and plasterers.

 II popularity of a recently published
 A book. Any one of some half dozen things. either within or without the book, may make clear it's wide circulation; and yet no one of these nor all of them com bined would be of character to make the book of permanent worth. But Tn the case of ''The Americanizatiou of Ed ward Bok-the Autobiography of Dutch Boy Fifty Years After" which appeared few months ago, there can be little doubt as to the source of the continued public interest. A genuine human docu- ment has been written by MT. Box, and the appeal of this writing to Americans, Irrespective of age or standing, is likely to continue for a good number of years. Autobiography is nearly always Inter esting, notwithstanding the fact that It is the one kind of writing that giveS every individual c,iance to break lnto print Not little of the interest that lies in this form of expression arises from inc usual use of the first personal pro

 The writer of this book catches the interest of practically any kind of read CT without making any kind of bid for it The process is automatic. Although MT.

could be approached the "typicaf American experience of men who rise to prominence. There were the struggles of youth in trying to obtain an educa- tion; there was the necessity of leaving make living; there was the obscure and rather menial position in the boyhood days; then the gradual acquaintance with great men, and the steady rise to a place of influence and affluence.
 If there is anything that peculiarly marks the career of Mir Box, who came to be the well known publisher. it is the possession and exhibition of little more nerve or whatever it may be termed than is common even to the aggressive native of this country. That is one explanation of MT. Bok's progress. an explanation found in the man himself The other explanation seems to be found in the country to which he came, or was brought. The America of MT.

Featherweight Males Would

Marry Clara Smith Hamon 7T7HAT Clara Smith Hamon, alleged
 U murderess, has received 50 of fers of marriage from as many men, proves nothing more than that they are desirous of the limelight or car ried away by excitement. The won der is that there have not been more proposals.
 There are men and women of such uncertain mental poise that they de- pend entirely on exterior causes to move their intellect and their im- pulses. There is no male murderer so foul but some flighty women re- gard him as a hero. When young woman stands accused of high crime certain type of man regards her as heroine.
 Certain minds follow the excite ment of the hour as a. cat takes to catnip. Whatever is prominent seems grand to the lightweight intelligence.

WOODEN SHIPS NOT USELESS

From the Houston Post
 The shipping board is coming in for great deal of .censure for failing to sell the wooden ships built during the war, before the slump in ship prices set in. It is claimed that had these vessels been disposed of months ago, the gov ernments loss on them would have been less.
 Probably true. The same applies to the surplus steel ships. The shipping board has large number of steel ships tied up in storage docks for which there is no use now. Ocean traffic IS slack, owing to the decline in interna- tional trade. A surplus of ships nat urally has resulted in reduction in the price of ships.
 | As long as the cry was for ships, and more ships. values ascended to un- heard of levels. Now that the tables are turned. the reaction Is natural. | It is not a situation. however, that affects solely the wooden ship. Much of the propaganda against the wooden ship is obviously inspired by the build CTS and owners of steel ships. and is not justified by the facts. Wooden ships are not as serviceable as the steel, and in the general decline in prices their values have shrunk materially. but there is no occasion to junk them. Wooden ships served the world of commerce through the ages until the steel ship came in, comparatively short time ago. and they can still be put to good use. If their construction IS not such as to adapt them to the fast service of the steamship. they can be l converted for service in carrying heavy freight on slow routes. For light coast wise service many of them have proven adaptable.
 It is waste of time and an injustice to indulge in criticism of the shipping board for building the wooden ships. in the first place. When they were built the board was under the necessity ot supplying ships at any cost and or any sort that would float. Had the war lasted longer the wooden ship would doubtless have played an important part in the transport service.
 It is equally useless to crlticise the 4 board for the depreciation Tn value oi the wooden ships. This propasanda against them only serves to depress further the market for them When ocean traffic revives, and ships ar' again in demand, it is more than prob. able that a profitable use will pc founc for the wooden ships, The shippins board should not be stampeded into giv- ing them away, or neglecting to take the proper care of them until marke for them is found
