BIG THREE RELATIONS
SOMEWHAT STRAINED
HARVARD To BROADEN

Confirming reports that have been
going around for two years about
strained relations between Harvard
and Princeton that might lead event
ually to a dissolution Of the big
Three" and an establishment of a
"Big Two" between Harvard and Yale,
an open break was narrowly averted
Just before the recent Harvard-Prince
ton game.
AS has been printed several times,
the feeling has existed for two years
on the Princeton campus that the
slide was being creased for the Tigers
out of the "Big Three" and when the
outlook for successful football team
was so dark at Princeton last Septem-
Der, the feeling was rather general
that il Yale and Harvard defeated
Princeton, the Tigers would not be Civ
en- place on the Blue and Crimson
schedules next year.
The speech made by Lothrop With
ington, member of the Harvard foot
ball committee and former Crimson
captain, at smoker the night before
the Princeton-Harva game, in which
he said that Princeton might have to
be crowded off the Harvard schedule
next fall, is "old stuff" now and the
Harvard officials later denied that he
spoke for the university.
AS an aftermath something very in
teresting came out of it, however. 1t
is not official, of course, but 1t is vir-
tually fact.
Harvard Holds Out
Harvard is not satisfied with the
radical football agreement said to have
clio Cd hry Of tho
"Big Three" and Harvard very likely
will not carry out the agreement.
The agreement by which it was de-
cided to hold no football practice be-
ffN the opening of the academic year
restricts the schedule to five games
and the resolution to make no trips for
football puts the big Three" prac-
tically in the position of playing moth
ing but neighborhood games.
In the recent endowment drive for
Harvard, the western alumni made
such huge contributions that they are
in a position to demand some consider.
alton from the schedule makers and it
is understood that enough pressure
has already been brought to bear to
make 1t almost sure that Harvard will
go to the middlewest for game either
next fall or in 1924.
Some Harvard sentiment holds the
Princeton president responsible for
putting across the agreement under the
guise of something that would save
football" Some Harvard men cannot
see that football is in need of being
saved and they believe that successful
football has been a big factor in max
ing Harvard and providing athletics
for the university, as football pays the
freight for all other branches of ath.
letics at Cambridge.
Withington's talk didn't do the
Princeton team any harm. perhaps it
was an inspiration to make them fight
their heads off to show Harvard that
Princeton couldn't be looked upon as
an inferior team.

Just a few brief years ago War
Pennant was the pride of the mighty
j. K L. Ross stable-the idol and the
pet in a barn which housed such turf
wonders as Billy Kelly, Sir Barton
and other whirlwinds.
And today that same War Pennant,
the 100000 race horse, is running on
the half mile tracks with the culls and
the riff-raff of turfdom: offered for
sale at a few hundred dollars without
a soul making a bid for him
There is tragedy
The legs of War Pennant which
once carried him along in amazing
flights of speed, crumpled and buck
led under him three seasons ago. The
greatest veterinarians In America
worked on him-but without avail. So
War Pennant became a discard from
the stable where once he was its
wonder-horse. The new owner tried
him, found his legs faulty, and passed
him on.
Runs With Outcasts
AND today he runs on half mile
tracks, with the outcasts of racing;
runs with them, as best his feeble legs
permit him, tries with all the great
ACdAb anu the Spl01O1u courage mat
ever characterized him, to overcome
the handicap of underpinning which
fails him ere three furlongs have
been run,-and often, almost always,
he tries in vain
If there was real sentiment in the
racing world. perhaps Ross would take
him back, send him to a farm and per-
NIT him to end his days in certain
peace and contentment. But senti-
ment is rare in the world of whirring
hoofs, and SO War Pennant seems des.
tined to run the half mile tracks until
the day comes when his legs go SO
bad that a bullet will bring quick and
merciless death to onetime king Of
racers.
Funny what a great difference a
few months and a championship can
make

late In May from his home in the

HI BASKET MATERIAL
is OF CHAMP CALIBRE;
TEAMS OPEN i. rDAY

With the opening game with De-
catur but 10 days away, Coach Harold
NJ. Little is ready to launch his final
efforts to whip the team into condition
in order to give an exhibition of bas-
ketball which will be the pride of
Morton high school for a starter in
the 1929 championship race of In.
diana high schools.
Richmond fans believe Coach Little
is capable of getting the best out OF
his athletes.
Practice sessions viii be held two
or three nights a week during the
season of games and the remainder
of the evenings will be spent in theory
coaching, which factored so success
fully during the football season. With
this plan, the candidates for the team
will be given the chance to avoid get
ting stale and at the same time they
will be taught to use their heads.
Will Push Second Team.
More candidates are out for the sec
ond team alone, this year, than has
been turned out at the high school
in several seasons. An unusually fine
nucleus of last years men is ready
to start the season of games arranged
| for the second team, along with that
of the first squad.
Richmond is due to boom IN high
school basketball and great deal of
the hopes are resting with the present
COACH who already has established
himself by putting the city on Indi-
ana's high school football map with
the championship of eastern Indiana.
