at nineteen boreS him stiff at thirty. He could no more spend happy evening ill her, society than he could make a meal on chocolate eclairs. His tastes have changed. His ideals have changed. His needs have changed. And the tragedy comes in if he has married his boyhood's fancy and is tied to a woman whom he cannot change.
 No man should marry when he
 is very young because no boy
 knows how to treat a wife. It takes
 patience, and wisdom, and subtlety
 to deal with the eternal feminine,
 and no very young man possesses
 these qualities.
 On the contrary, all boys are selfish and cruel, and filled with an overwean- ing sense of their own importance, and they make the sort of husbands who cause their wives to salt their bridal veils down in tears.
 A man should not marry until he
 has had his playtime and is ready
 to settle down and stay at home.
 If you will run over the list of youl acquaintanees you will find that al most every wandering husband is on' who married very young. He didn'i get his full of running around, aant dancing, and philandering before mar liage, and so after marriage he is lureC by the bright lights and ready to chast any petticoat that ;ses his path. No man raises such a bumper
 crop of wild oats as those who wait to sow them until they are
 middle aged.
 Of course, there are exceptions to sl rules, but ninety-nine times out of , hundred the rich boy who marries vii land in the divorce court and the poo boy who marries will end in the bank ruptcy court.

The ideal age for man to marry is between twenty-eight and forty. By that time he has come to him. self and reached his full statue of growth, and so can determine the type of wife that he will want for keeDs.

COLLEGIATE REGATTA
TO HAVE RECORD LIST

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January S.-More col
leges than ever before may partici-
pate in the next regatta of the In
tercollegtate Rowing Association,
which, unless the unforeseen devel-
ops. will be rowed on the historic
site on the Hudson off Poughkeepsie,
N. Y. June II.
The date, which is one Of the earli-
est on which the regatta ever has
been held. was selected because of
tidal conditions. The race usually
was held late in June, but this year
the tide will not be favorable after
June II until early in July, which was
considered too late.
Maxwell Stevenson OF Columbia,
who was chosen to succeed Morton
d. Bogue as Columbia's representa-
tive and then elected chairman, ex-
planned that the association desired
to avoid a conflict with the date for
the Olympic try-outs. which VIII be
held June 13 and II at Philadelphia.
He added that the two regattas will
have little relation, as the intercol-
legiate is of three miles and the Olym-
pic Of a mile and an eight.
The augmented entry list is expect
ed to follow wider issuance OF In
vitations. Princeton. Navy, Washing
ton and Wisconsin are among those
to be invited to compete. but either
Washington or Navy may not come
to Poughkeepsie in the event one or
them wins the Olympic designation.
The association again voted down
Columbias proposal to lengthen the
distance of the varsity race 20 four
niles, as was tried before.

In order to have the thin cover
vulcanized to the right degree for
obtaining distance it must not be
made too hard. AS a result, when the
balls are green" they are easily cut
by the edge of the club head when
the golfer tops the ball. The cover

to make 1t lively will tougher with a
few months aging, and yet it will re-
tain its elasticity to the umost de-

YANK HOCKEY PLAYER

BOSTON. January 8.-A twenty
year friend in need was a friend in
deed yesterday to Clarence Abel OF
St. Paul. Mimi, defense star of the
United States Olympic hockey team.
The members of the team were 60
ing through the formalities at the
passport office in preparation for
their sailing tomorrow on the Presi-
dent Garfield from New York. when
it was discovered that Abel had for
gotten to bring his birth certificate.
The passport clerk informed him
that unless he obtained an affidavit
from some one in his home town,
sworn TO before a justice of the peace.
he could not get his passport. This
would have been impossible before
tomorrow.
Then the clerk said there was one
other way out: If some one could be
found in Boston who had known Abel
for more than twenty years and
would take oath to that effect the
passport would be granted.
Fortunately, Trainer Thomas Muir
ray recalled that there was such a
man and within a short time the
friend appeared at the passport office.
Abel will sail with the rest of the
team.

Then in the nationals, he was put
out by b. !. c. Norton. a fine player
to be sure, but supposedly not in Will
liams class. All in all. his play last
year was not sufficiently consistent to
entitle him to stand next to Tilden
and Johnston.
Richards Inconsistent.
Vincent Richards, placed at number
four by the COMMITTEES, was hardly
more consistent than Williams. He
defeated Hunter for the indoor cham
pionshihp, but Harvey Snodgrass, the
California youth, eliminated him at
Newport the day after he had played
that extraordinarily brilliant match
against Williams, in which he was
practically beaten, albeit Williams, in
the end, walked out of the match and
relinquished honors to the New
Yorker.
Then in the nationals. Francis r.
Hunter put the youngster out. and
thus ended him for the year 1t will
thus appear that both the number
three and the number four men in
the 1923 ranking played inconsistent

was always consistent. Yet the num-
ber five position goes to him. Every
one will recall the gruelling battle
he gave Johnston before he was put
out in the nationals at Germantown.
It Will also be recalled that at VIM
put out by Johnston. He won over
both the kinseys and besides slowing
Richards away in the nationals, he
defeated the brilliant young French
player, La Caste.
Besides. he beat Norris Williams, in
the Church cup matches at Forest Hills.
The obvious conclusion, therefore is
that the ranking committee rated Will
liams. Richards and Hunter, not so
much upon the basis of what they did
in 1928 as upon a theoretical assump-
tion as TO what would happen were the
three to meet when they We're all at
top form. Actual. not potential form.
1t would seem, should be the guide in
these rankings.
Hunter Has His Faults.
Hunters game. it is true, is not SO
Wounded as It might be- He depends
great deal upon d fine forehand with
dashes to the net, where he voleys well.
His backhand is mainly defensive, but
on the whole. he is a hard man far
any one TO beat. and his further progress
will he interesting TO watch. Howard
Kinsey is rated at No. and Harvey
Snodgrass at No. 8. This is a matter
fight about. Suffice to say some critics
prefer Snodgrass to Kinsey by a slight
margin. 1t is a question how many
will agree that Carl Fischer, ranked at
No. Z, is 4 better player than Norton,
Snodgrass and Robert Kinsey. Manuel
Alfonso. ranked at No. II, is regarded
in many quarters as a player deserving
d higher position.
But after all, the essence OF pleasure
in sport is diversity of opinion.

The term ''hve-man defense" is
now generally applied to a twoline
formation in which the center and
two forwards form the first line and
the two guards the second. The
first line, with the center in the
middle, should locate just back of
the jumping circle on ninety-four-
foot court. or on other courts, SO
far from the goal they are defend
ing that only hope" shots are pos
sible over their heads. The for
wards, each on their own side OF
the floor, are about ten feet to the
right and left of the center and
about three feet behind him.
The second line should locate
about fifteen feet back of the first,
and each guard should be facing a
point midway between the forward
and center on his side of the floor
The most successful method of
employing these lines is to. allow
two men to sift through the first
line and be matched by the two
second-line men. Other attackers
are then matched by the men of the
forward line as they enter the de-
fensive area.
