Yale and Virginia stood out last
year as the only two real antago-s
nists Of Syracuse in the indoor one
mile event. Races with both were
comparatively close, but In neither
did the Orange come dangerously
near losing the championship.
Two men of the 1929 Syracuse
quartet-A1len Woodring and Allan
Monie-were lost to Coach Keane
by graduation last June and their
places must be filled by new and
almost untried quarter-mile ma
terial.. II the Syracuse team is to
hold on to its coronet these two
must be just about as fast eas the
two veterans lost, as both Yale and
Virginia are at least as speedy as
last year; the New Haven team is
considered q bit more formidable
than the Southerners.
Captain Willis Stone and Chet
Bowman are the only two regu-
lars available for Syracuse this
year, but Ralph ChesIey, fifth
man last season, Is about as fast
and should be sure of a birth
this winter. For the other place
Coach Keane has several fIasliy
members Of last years freshman
outfit in view. Ike Cook is u
strong possibility, and also are
Rip Turner and Rider.
Considered calmly, Syracuse's
chances for beating off the one-milc
relay challenge Of Yale, Virginia
and the rest are none too good
The team is bound to be green, or
at. least greener than it was last
year with Monte and Woodring run

in this event is a task we'll worthy
Tom Keane's coaching genius.
Immediately after the cross coun-
try season has ended, November rs,

gin with considerable emphasis Ee-

usual. Coach Keane's corps OF
quarter -milers will dig their spikes

Victory over Yale will be the OBJ

mean another championship, the
critics believe,

A TOP HAT.

A MAN who feels the need of
a cutaway coat and
striped trousers will also need
a top hat, which may cause one
to think carefully before in
vesting in a formal outfit.
Neither a derby nor a soft hat
are correct with formal clothes
and a stickler for style will
also insist that a Topper" is
the only correct hat with full
evening dress, while many men
like to wear one to the theater
in the winter though they have
only donned a tuxedo. In a
word, a well dressed man needs
top hat.
There is no noticeable new
feature in the style for this
season. The brims have a
slight curl, are not very wide
at the sides but broaden out
at each end. The crown goes
straight up from the brim. The
sloping chimney pot crowns are
out of favor, it seems, though
the smartest styles have a
slight bell shape to the crown.
In buying a high hat indi-
vidual characteristics must be
taken into account; a tall man
does not require a high crown
and a short man should display
height rather than width in
his hat, and so forth.
A top hat is not often worn
and therefore it is good advice
to avoid any extravagant style

the knockout punch. as generally
understood, which is to say a blow
to the point of the jaw that rem
ders its recipient unconscious. was
in its first days regarded as the
greatest freak of all and was
thought for time to be John L..
Sullivan's special and particular
own.
1t may be a surprising statement,
but it is nevertheless the fact, that
Sullivan was the first in ring his
tory to use the knockout. If you
60 back to the cid days you will
read almost invariably Of contests
going the length of many, many
rounds. One went 104 and was
called on account of darkness, with
the understanding that it would be
resumed the next day, although it
never was. Fights of fifty to
,seventy-five rounds were the usual
thing.
1t is to be remembered that these
contests were fought with bare
knuckles and under the London
prize ring rules, which allowed of
hitting. Fighters could not take,
chances OF breaking knuckles and
wrist bones or otherwise injuring
their bare hands, and so did not
dare hit as hard as they could,
excepting as they tried for heart or
stomach, for in those days scien.
tific infighting was hardly known,
wrestling taking its place when the
men came to close quarters.
The battles would be when one
fighter could close in ON q worn
and weary opponent, give him
hipIOck and throw him to the
ground with force sufficient to
take all the wind and fight out
Of him. AT any rate, they were
TO each other but bite and kick,
and sometimes they forget those
prohibitions.
But with the creation Of the
Marquis OF Queensbury rules, the
adoption OF which in important ring
battles began with John L. Sulli-
van, the use Of the padded glove
was ordered; and with this protec-
tion to his hands the fighter could

CLUB WOMEN ARE
HELPLESS TO STOP
TREE MUTHATION
By vIoLErrE 8. CAMPBELL

BY VlOLETTE B. CAMPBELL
The Ten Thousand Club, no mat
ter how strongly it might protes,
the present removal Of beautiful
street trees, can do nothing. Many
are expressing surprise that this
! great Organization of women which
was largely responsible for their
planting, has not taken action ia
prevent their removal. For once
the majesty5of the law is supreme
and individual members of the
club who have investigated the
matter, have found to their last
ing regret that nothing can be
done.
The mistake dates back to 1911,
when the ordinance was passed
providing for the setting of the
trees. Apparently those made res.
ponsible for the establishment of
the tree line were as Irresponsible
and failed entirely to take ac.
count of the time when streets
would be paved. The tree line all
over the city was run too close to
the curb line, in some instances 1t
is right on the Grub line.
FL Centre is reaping the eouse-
quences now in the loss of many
Of its most beautiful trees that
have been grown at great expense
to the taxpayers, but with never
a regret because they add SC
much to the beauty and comfort Of
the city.
As to whether those now in au-
thority could have found way
to save the trees, cannot be said.
There are those who marvel that
in the preparation of the ordin-
ance and its passing somebody did
not discover what was going to
happen. But incidently no one did,
until the contract for the paving
had been signed and the city bound
to its exact fulfillment.
The loss is irreparable; IL year
old peppers cannot be replaced and
the property owners must sit by
and witness the tragedy, impotent
to act.
IhsIee are members of the Ten
Thousdlds Club who were in Ell

Brighton and Orange streets, if
they had known in time. But
when they found it out it was too
late, and they have been compelled
to submit to the inevitable, just as
the property owners have done
along the streets that are being
shorn Of their beauty. J..
Perhaps good will come OUT OF
evil. and tree ordinance will now
be passed which will provide for
planting more of the streets after
some system of planning that viii
add TO the beauty and comfort Of
the city. .'s =,

Material for 1923.
Materials have not changed much
from those of last season except in
the fact that they are usually de-
signed. Roschanara crepe in dark
shades with border designs in Pals
ley colorings, crepe de chenes with
small outlined Egyptian figures in
black, brown or green, tie-dyed silks
in onion and brown tones, bandana
prints and India cloth prints are
shown in the various booths.
Among the novelty materials are
printed angora crepes which are
heavier than the average silk crepes
and have satin surface. In their
darker tones they remind one of
old tapestries.
A remarkable material used for
evening capes and for summer para
soils is called sevilla." 1t has a
canton crepe foundation that is ba-
tiked in tie-dye effect and on top
of this sre rows Of batiked floss or
fringe. shading into all the colors of
the rainbow. 1t is the most marvel
Gus material imaginable and can
be purchased in several of the larg
er stores,
The thinnest stockings jn the
world were displayed at one of the
booths and are made to sell at $i25
a pair. 1t is said that while they
were being made, it was necessary
to keep paper over them to keep
the breeze from blowing them off
the machine.
