PHILADELPHIA, March 11.-By pccu-
liar coincidence Coach Joe Wright is
liable to have the man stroke his Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania varsity crew this
year who was declared ineligible on the
eve of the freshman race at Poughkeep-
sic last summer, this incident causing
bad feeling between Coach Wright and
Jim Ten Eyck OF Syracuse.
Just a day or two before the fresh
man race on the Hudson Coach Ten
Eyck entered the charge that Mattison,
who was sitting in the Penn freshman
shall, had rowed for a short time at
Syracuse the year before. Penn with
drew Mattison from the boat and put
Medholt in his place. but before the
race was held the board OF stewards of
the Intercollegiate Rowing Association
notified Pennsylvania that Mattison
could row. Mattison was kept out of the
shell. and now with Capt. Eddie Michel,
the stroke oar, being declared ineligible
on account of failure to keep up in his
studies in the Tpwne Scientific School.
Mattison has been placed at the stroke
seat in the varsity.
Mattison has more weight than Mitch
ell, but is lacking in experience. Mitchell
was rounding out his collegiate career
this year and had occupied places In the
Penn crews for the last two years. In
1920 he stroked the Red and Blue las
pound crew, which was one of the best
in its class in collegiate ranks. Last
year Mitchell stroked Penn to victory
over Yale varsity on the Housatonic
course at Derry, Conn. He has dropped

Urges Stronger Opponents
for All Wesleyan Teams
College Paper Suggests q
Change in Policy.

Special Dispatch to THE New YonK HrnArp.
MIDDLETowN, Conn.,, March 1.-THE
Ar0ms. the college paper at Wesleyan.
Is advocating stronger opponents in ath-
letlc contests. This suggestion is SEEM
ingly in opposition to a policy adopted
by the alumni athletic council half a
dozen years ago, whereby managers Of
athletic teams were instructed, particu-
larly in football, to schedule games with
opponents which were in Weseyan's
class. AZ result OF this policy It's an
nual football game with Yale was
dropped from the schedule.
Almost from time immemorial Yale
had saved the first date on its gridiron
list for Wesleyan. When the new policy
went into effect there was genuine re-
gret on both sides at the lapse Of ath-
letic relationships in this sport.
Wesleyan's participation in football
contests with the big football teams Of
the country goes back to the late sos
and early e0s. when she was in the big
four with Harvard, Yale and Pennsyl-
vania. Wesleyan has never won from
Yale at football, but has victories to her
credit over the other two. However, II
became apparent in the mid 90s that the
Cardinal and Black was in too fast COM
Uany, anu consequently tne local co..
lege dropped out OF 1t, but always re-
tanned the game with Yale on its sched-
ule. This Yale contest, however, came
10 be such q gruelling one for Wesleyan
and so many OF her good players were
crippled by II at the outset of the sea-
son that the athletic council ordered the
action noted above.
It was the understanding then that
Wesleyan should seek games with coll
leges In her own class and should try
TO develop relationships with certain
New England institutions. This has
been the policy here for about a dozen
years. In the meantime the board of
trustees has placed certain restrictions
upon the size OF the entering classes.
which necessitates Wesleyan remaining
college of about 500 men. II the
Argus In TO press the stand IL has taken
II will doubtless lead TO an interesting
conference with the representatives OF
the alumni body. II seems doubtful
whether those who have In charge the
alumni attitude toward athletic activi-
ties at Wesleyan will approve anything
very much In the way OF changes. A
large group probably would be in favor
OF continuing much in the same way as
al prescut

PENN-TIGER CONTEST
WILL DECIDE TITLE
Record Crowd to Attend Cham
pionship Basketball Game
This Week.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 11.--With
only one moro basketball game remain
ing on the schedule and that the most
important of the season. the University
Of Pennsylvania management anticipates
record breaking crowd when, Princeton
comes to Weightman Hall next Saturday
night. This final game viii decide the
intercollegiate championship and already
the demand for tickets is so great that
the place will be sold out in a few days.
Basketball is 'Penn's big winter game
and the management has reported SELL
outs for virtually all the league con-
tests. Last Saturday when Cornell
played here more than two thousand
jammed their way into the hall and as
many more fought at the doors but could
not get inside. II Penn had a place
seating 5000 1t would be filed for the
comirg game with Princeton.
Penn has now won twenty-three out
of twenty-four games, the only setback
being at Ithaca. This brings the Red
and Blues record for the last five years
up to 103 victories out OF 10 games
which is the best showing made by any
college basketball team In America.
All voegelin. the veteran guard. who
injured his knee in the recent Cornell
game is back in shape again. DR.. Han
cock, the teams physician, worked with
him for several days and has the for
mer Central High School star stepping
around In his old time form. Pos Miller,
captain-elect Of the football team, con-
tinues to play a sensational game at
guard and the work of Captain Bill
Grave at center could not be improved
upon.
Next Saturday nights game will be
the last for Captain Grave and Walt
Huntzinger, as they are in the gradual
Ing clas In June. Rosie Rosenast, the
other regular forward is alsb senior
but fle has been on the side lines for
several weeks with a fractured wrist
and cannot play in any more games.
Benny Dessen. has proven star under
study at Rosenast's position.
Baseball enthusiasm is running high
at Penn this spring. More than eighty
men answered Coach Carisss call early
in the week and when the basketball
season is over this number will be
swelled to the hundred mark. Veteran
material Is plentiful, especially In the
pitching department. and one of the
best campaigns In many years Is antici-
pated. The season opens April / with
Fordham on Franklin Field.
Topnotchers in the pitching depart
ment include Walter Larsen, the big
scuthpaw from Salt Lake City: Llewel-
lyn anr Stout the two lads from the
coal regions and Walt Huntzinger, star
OF the 1920 team, who was laid up all
OF last season on account Of illness.
Yaduslsy, one OF the pitching stars of
the freshman team OF last year, injured
his hand in a recent boxing bout against
the Army at West Point. but is expected
to be in shape in time for the baseball
season.

Columbia Squad Ready to
Take to Outdoors at Once.

Andy Coakley. veteran coach or CO.
lumbia baseball teams. will not require
more than a mere nod from the weather
man these days before he will have his
squad of Columbia ball tossers cavort-
ing around South Field. Coakley mas
had the full squad limbering up arms
and taking a cut at pitched balls In the
baseball cages on the main gymnasium
floor for almost two weeks, while the
battery men have been in action for Mt
least two more. There is possibility
of practice games With New York Uni
,ersity during the next few days or
antil South Field tccomes fit for use
and the green back of the gym building
may be forced into service.
From this early date 1t would seem
that Columbia's greatest weakness for
the coming campaign lies in her twirl-
ing staff, or rather lack OF one. In
Eliss Price Coakley possesses a pitcher
OF exceptional skill and one who may
be counted on to win big majority OF
his starts, but there Is not another
