Camp Questions the AduisabiIity of Long
 Races
By WALTER CAMP

Special Correspondent of The Ags-Herald
 (CopyYiEht, is22. by The AEe-Heraid)
 New York, April S.-Princeton will not enter crew in the Poughkeep- sic regatta this year. In other words she is likely to remain committed to races of two miles or less. This brings up the question that has been prominently to the fore almost every year for the last decade, as to the advisability, from a health stand point of the four mile race.
 pr. Maylan of Columbia university has made some investigations quite favorable to rowing, but we stand now in position where the Pough- keepsie regatta is a three race; the Harvard on the Thames. at New London, is a feur- event, and all the earlier racing is done by various crews al two miles or less.
 There is plenty of evidence that the Henley regatta. a mile and $50 yards. rowed on dead water over in England -is about as exhausting a race as can be rowed Photographs of the Leander and other crews in a hot finish have showed some of the men desperate and some unconscious after crossing the line. There is one
 
 given consideration, and that Is the longer distances should be preceded by longer courses of training. But most vital of all is the fact that the maturity of the men who row is a very considerable factor. With the exception, possibly, of the English boy at Eton, who begins rowing young. and, therefore, strengthens his heart gradually as we'll as his powers ha 4o be injured are those who take up the oar in a varsity or freshmen she'll at an immature age and without pre- yious preparatiom This naturally leads us to the question of other ath- letic events, particularly distance running. For time 1t has been con- sidered the hardest races in these days are the quarter rmile and the half mile. because there Is little op- and he must go out at q pretty high speed all the way.
 About Long Races
 Those who. believe In the benefit of longer distances contend that in the mile and up a man has an opportu- nifty to adjust himself and is not. therefore, so liable to strain. When we get up into the still longer dis, tsnces, like oross-country running, tuc QuSStioH dfiscs WnctHcE thS iOnE continued strain is better borne than the short pace that kills" When a man drops at the finish or in a race, whether it be the shell or a foot race. there is certainly something that happens which shows an inn perative demand by nature that the effort cease.
 Probably nature, fearful of serious results, brings about condition where the man drops prcne, the effort ceases and the heart is relieved some what of its burden and gradually the man becomes restored. Sometimes, of course, after such a collapse, there is a heart lesion, but it is remarkable how resistant to injury is this organ. There is. however, another phase to tn, matter. and that Is the danger of very much lowered vitality and re- sistive force through repeated strains of this kind. and the medical frater- nifty will undoubtedly some day fol- low up the results, not only the inn mediate ones but the subsequent ones. and give us more definite sta tistical data to go upon.

Uniuersity Trades
 School Is Putting
 Out Baseball Nine
By DUKE MERRITT

Univsrsityy April s.-(Special)- The University Trades school is put ting out team this season. and the prospects are good for winning combination this year. The men are enthusiastic and are working like horses to get in shape to start the season. There is a lot of good ma terial that should round into first class shape in a few days.
 This is the way the team stands at first glance: a good pitching staff, good infield, fair catching and an outfield that will match the remain der of the team.
 In the pitchers box are four men; Paul Tubbs, Bill Hill, walter Sessions and Henry Hester. Tubbs Is star of the first water, judging from his performances with Tuscaloosa High. their turn in acceptable form.
 Behind the bat, Pete Abel and Joe Adams are found. Both have good wings and both will work throughout the season, from present indications.
 The Inffeld
 The infield should be a winner. On short. Lee Whitehurst will get the call. He is good man, and would probably make the varsity were he out. He fields sure and fast and can hit with the best of them. Lester Loggins, on third, is a clean snappy fielder, though his batting is not very high. Perry Tolbert and Perry streetman are competing for the Keystone bag and the result is yet in doubt. On the initial bag. Harry ONeill and Terrell carde, are wrang- ling. Both will probably be used, from present indications.
 For the field positions Capt. Mar shal White. Charles Thomas, Charley McGibbony and Howard Morgan are the candidates. Captain White is a good man in the field and with the stick, as is Charles Thomas. The other position is yet to be deter mined. Manager Taylor is sur, that he will have a crack team and is busy on arranging a schedule for his hope fuls. Any semi-pro teams that de- sire engagements should get in touch with Manager Warren White.

TO
 PLAY MICHIGAN
 HERE THURSDAY
Local Outfit to Meet Centen- ary Team Friday and
 Saturday
By HORACE RENEGAR

The BirminEham-S Southern college Panthers have another serious week of baseball play ahead of them, with Michigan and Centenary booked for trio of games during the latter part of the week.
 The team will resume work tomor- row following its trip to Auburn, where the Partners engaged the Plainsmen in twogame series splitting the duo of encounters.
 Thursday the Panthers tackle the strong University of Michigan nine at Munger field. This will be the biggest college game played here this spring. Michigan comes here from Athens, Ga. where 1t plays the Uni versity of Georgia Tuesday and Wed nesday.
 Centenary Game Friday
 Coach Homer Norton's Centenary college outfit. from Louisiana, will dock here Friday and Saturday to lock horns with the Panther forces. These should both be good games. with the invaders reported coming strong.
 Coach Norton is a former Birming- ham Southern athlete, having per- formed with the Gold and Black sev- erai years ago. Coach Charlie Brown was the coach of the Centenary men tor when Homer starred on the Hill top institution.
 The Partners arrived back from the village of the plains in good mood and ready to get back In harness for all they are worth.
 Graham Starred
 Babe Ruth" Graham was the star of the trip. being the Panther hurler to come through and win his game against the Plainsmen. Dope points to Graham starting the game against the Michigan outfit Thursday.
 "Feedem" Oates was touched for only eight hits in the Tiger game last Friday and Oates had his wing in very bad condition when he entered the box. He may get the call to face the northerners Thursday, but will at least work in one of the games against Centenary.
 Frog" Miller, star hurler of last seasons crew. may also work in one of the Centenary games, probably the Saturday matinee. Miller went good last season, but Coach Charlie has been using him on the keystone this season. It is expected that he will take. an occasional turn in the pitch CTS box.
 Following Saturdays game the Partners will leave for a one-week tour of Tennessee, playing series with Bryson. sewanee and Vanderbilt.

Birmingham scribes are rapidly be- coming aware of the fact that the pusher of a mean pen or the ticker or a toddline typewriter is not neces- sarily the successful manipulator oi a correct golf club, for with few ex- captions, scores in the second an- nual newspapermen's golf tourna- ment have been high, very high, to be exact.
 First round matches were completed the latter part of the past week, with one or two upsets. When Zipp New man turned the tables on Hubert Harper and eliminated The Age-Her- aids hope in the golf tournament the newspaper golfing world paused in it's grind, and gasped. For zipp was not thought to have had chance, even though Harper was giving him ten holes on the match. Newman hardly had to take advantage of thls handicap. as he won five up and four to go.
 Zipp a Favorite
 By virtue of his victory, and some good golf he has been shooting throughout the tournament, zipp has become a prime favorite to win the tournament, even though such obsta- cles as Roy Cohen, Bill Leighton and Doc Fell must be overcome. New man meets Fell in the second round and the handicap of 13 strokes con- ceded him makes zipp look like a sure winner.
 Roy Cohen has been shooting con sistent golf all along. turning in the best score of the tournament last week-s 91 for his IS holes with Bob McDavid-and if he can overcome the stroke hole handicap he is giving Bill Leighton in their second round match, he ought to win the tourna- ment.
 Down in the second flight, arc found still more reverses for Age Herald golfers. Marvin Mccarthy was ingloriously chased into obscurity by Jack Bethea, who won one sided match, : to 6. It is the opinion of one of the two parties most concern ed, namely, Mccarthy that the hsndi- cap of two strokes he was given over Bethea was about IS or S6 short of his due.
 Vance Has Hard Luck
 Henry Vance, of Old Town Pump fame. gushed forth with indifferent golf in meeting Pete Marzoni. and his 20 stroke handicap looked like hot dog beside ham and eggs Henry was eliminated.
 Dick Mcintosh was the only Age Herald golfer to come through with victory. and he is still shivering over his one hole victory over Tom Heflin
 Third flight matches were not scheduled to be played until the first part of this week. as only four en- trants composed this division. Sec ond round matches must be com pleted by Wednesday night, which will place the finals on for the weekend. Here are results of first round matches.
 First Flight.
 Zipp Newman defeated Hubert Harper, 5 and {.
 Doc Fell defeated Howard Pill, 5 and g.
 Roy Cohen defeated Bob McDavid, 5 and B.

A hit batsmsn forced in a run. Drake finished for the visi- tors. yielding no hits.
 Manager Frank Kohlbecker sent in two left-hand pitchers to beat the Barons. Wilson, who was on the mound for five innings, yielded as many hits, but alright support held the visitors to one run. Henderson, a Birmingham boy who was with the Nets last season, finished tho Eame, yielding three hits and an equal number of tallies, errors of his teammates figuring in the run mak- ing.
