ASSERTS HARVARD HIT
BY BIG THREE" PACT

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, December 27.
Harvard IL at disadvantage to
Yale and Princeton by the terms of
their big three. agreement regulat-
ing participation in sport. says the
unnamed Harvard alumnus who con-
ducts the column from a Graduates
Window" in the current issue Of the
Harvard Graduates Magazine.
The rule prohibiting a transfer stu
dent from participating in a sport in
which he has represented another col
lego handicaps Harvard, he says, as
serting that there is no doubt that
more students transfer each year from
other colleges to Harvard than to
either Yale or Princeton.
Governmental inquisition. reEula-
tfon and prohibition are getting to be
the bane Of American life" he adds.
Are they to become the bane of col
lege life also? Il 1t is necessary to
resort to such methods in order to
insure the absolute purity of inter-
collegiate sport. one may ask whether
the absolute purity Of intercollegiate
sport is an end so important Of at
tainment."

TUMP1NG.-The principal ele-
ments in the jump are a COM
- bination of starting at the
right time and an ability to spring
from a a'position with the bent knees.
The first is a matter of judgment
and experience, the second of much
practice. Some officials throw the
ball up very. quickly, others are
deliberate and slow. Study of the
referee will aid in outjurnping an
opponent. Being ready when the
lump is to be made will help much.
A. fraction Of a second in timing
may give a decided advantage. 1t
his opponent has any peculiarities
Of style. Oh any weakness, player
should try to find them. If he is
slow he can be caught mapping on
his preparation. Many players
crouch too much in making the
Jump. 1t takes too. long to get up
and they sacrifice Judgment of time
to height of spring. Others jump
from q position in which the knees
are nd bent enough. Try out diff
ferenf positions, find the one from
which you can best jump. Then
keep -practicing from that. See that
the arm and hand are straight when
you tap the ball. Tap it, don't try
to slap. it. -

What probably will happen il that
Mickey will meet some ham welters
and some good midleweights where,
even II he loses, his little will remain
intact There is straight tip that
Benny Leonard's first fight will be
against Charley White and that then
he and Walker will mix 1t up. The
whole idea Is that what Walker needs
most is experience.
The time will come when his man
ager will decide that his meal ticket
is ripe to go against Dave Shade.
But for Some months to come the
Walker forces will let Shade have
his New York title and bide their
time.
johnny Dundee will begin his win
ter fighting campaign Friday night
when he goes against Tommy O'Brien
out in Milwaukee. Johnny says that
among his New Year resolves is to
force Benny Leonard into the ring
with him. He does not seem to con-
slider what resolutions Benny may
have formed with respect to Dundee.
II Tom O'Rourke's plans go through
Dundee. will get some action to his
liking next summer. He says after
the Kilbane-Criqui battle he will be
against the winner.
Kilbane, by the way. has not vet
named the sum he would accept for
risking his title against the French
fighter. Probably it will be a barrel
Of iron men. since the best opinion is
that Criqui Is likely to deprive the
Cleveland man of his crown. CriQui
has been fighting right along and
Kilbane has been completely inactive.
Even II that were the only edge the
French boy possessed over the feath-
er champion, it would be sufficiently
impressive to influence the betting.
Now that Harry Greb has called OF
his January date with Jimmy De-
Ianey of St Paul because of Harry's
bad eyes, 1t looks as though Gene
Tunney will take Greb's place. Tun-
ney has an engagement for January
8 with Harry Foley at Omaha, but it
seems that Tunney's manager feels
that a match against Delaney at Okla
homa City would mean bigger money.

new ROWING STROKE J
BEING USED At YALE

An entirely different system of roF-
ing. with a new stroke. Is being In
stalled at Yale by Edward Leader. the
new coach. and the Ellis rowing au-
thorities are watching the work with
great interest. Leader. a successful
coach at the University Of Washing
ton before he went to New Haven. is
running things with free hand. He
has discarded the old modified English
stroke. has substituted one Of his own,
and. in short. is building from the
bottom up.
Yale's new stroke has a great deal
more leg drive in it. something on
the order of the strictly American
stroke which Jim Rice teaches at
Columbia. This makes necessary q
longer slide, the power Is applied
more steadily and the catch is sharp

the old Yale style was
The work of changing Ya.le's system
inside out began at Derby and in New
Haven harbor this fall. and it has
been progressing slowly but steadily
ever since.
According to the Yale News the most
important feature of the rowing re-
vival is the fact that full powers have
been granted to Leader. The feeling
among the athletic authorities is that
tHe old uiVision OF authority must go
and that the differences which once
existed among the assistant coaches
must be forgotten. From now on the
freshman crew and all the varsity
eights will be grounded in the same
stroke, and Yale expects thereby to
save much time and energy and also
test out it's wealth of mat arial in q
more thorough fashion.
Leader was the coach of the Wash
ington crew which created such a SEN
sation at Poughkeepsie last June. Civ

battle for first place. His theories of
Craftsmanship differ. of course, from
the general technique followed in the
