THREE SIDED MEET
 OF COLLEGE STARS
Harvard EntertainS Cornell and
 Dartmouth

Boston, Feb. 2S,-Harvard enter tains the track teams of Cornell and Dartmouth in their sixth annual triangular meeting the blue banner game of the intercollegiate indoor season, here tonight. The Grim sons wcli-balanced team will make a strong bid for its first victory since the opening of the competition in which Cornell and Dartmouth have each scored three victories.
 The illness of II. A. Russell, win ncr of the 40-yard dash for Cornell last year, and the reported poor form shown in recent trials by E. Goodwilie, Ithacan dash star, will be offset by the inability of "soapy" Walters, brilliant Harvard miller, to compete in his favorite event, Wat ters' recent illness caused his entry in the shorter 1000 yard run,
 Dartmouth looks for victory through strength in the hurdles, short runs, and the two mile event, in which Osgood and Dalrymple have recently turned in fast times The Green also looks for the bulk of the points in the field events.
 Cornell's strength is well dis tributed, with Captain Bowen ex- pected to star in the eight contests. Bradley in the high jump. Fuller and Goodwille in the dashes, Click and McNeill in the longer events, are potential point winners for the Ithacans.

.HAGEN GREATEST
 OF THE GOLFERS
Bobby Jones Cannot Match ' Consistency
By The Ar.oolated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 New York, Feb. 2S.--In branci, of competition where champions rise aud fall with the consistent ire quency of the tides. Walter Hagen occupies a niche apart in the sphere of golf. Undoubtedly the greatest Of America's homebred professionals, this dcbonair, stylish and carelessly confident star of the links looms as formidable as ever on the 1925 hori- Zon as he tunes his mashie niblick to championship pitch on Florida fairways.
 Hagen's name is coupled with thai of the youthful southerner, Bobby Jones, at the top of the goling bracket now but even the brilliant Georgia stylish cannot match the consistency of his professional rival's record. Year in and out, here and abroad, during the past decade, Hagcn's achievements have no par allel in the annals of the royal and ancient game.
 Hagen has been fitted for every important open crown of golf in the course of his spectacular march. Twice holder of the American open title, in 1914 and. 1919, the dashing product of Rochester N. r.. links invaded the games native strong holds to lift the British open crown in 1922 and 1924, while being only stroke away from the winner in the intervening season. He also captured the national professional championship last season and re- gently administered a crushing de- feat to Cyril Walker, American open titlcholder in 72-hole battle for the unofficial worlds crown. Hagen finished this match IT up and IS to go, margin unprecedented for an encounter between two high ranking stars.
 Hagen's success has been due more to his fine competitive tenn perament than to any consistently surpassing brilliancy in shot making, although he has often shown an un- canny wizardry with his clubs. Most of his victories have been bagged through an ability to reach his greatest heights when under fire, to perform coolly at his best when the odds were heaviest. Hagen's finishes in golf have become as famous as Garrison's on the turf years ago.
 A season or so ago, little Gene Sarazen, who sprang to fame and the open championship at skokie in 1922. seemed about to displace the mighty Hagen. Gene humbied Wal ter several times at the latter's fav- crite match game but his reign soon was ended by a typical Hagen come back,

SNOW INTERPRETERS
 WITH NEW YORkS
Two Teams Have Their Troubles
 Down South

New York, Feb. @S,-Things hap pened and things did not happen in the training camps of the Yankees and Giants yesterday. There was snow in Hot Springs when George Herman Ruth departed, there was rain in. St. Petersburg, Fla, and Frank Frisch, captain and second baseman of the McGraw club, with held his contract signature for a few hours.
 The matter of holding out appears to have worried Manager McGraw more than the snow in Hot Springs worried the 2S0-pound Ruth, Wal ter McGrew who failed to find n fountain pen in time, was turned k-ck to Memphis without reporting 10 the Giants and NlcGraw let 1t be known that he is not in the habit of training players who are not un- der contract. This, possibly, re- ferred to Frisch.
 Giant regulars and recruits will sppear at the ball park in Sarasota twice daily hereafter and the days Of golf are numbered. McGraw continued 10 direct matters from the bench, but had little to say regard ing youthful performances.
 When Charley OIeary arrives from Chicago sometime before Mon day the Yankees in St. Petersburg will have a coach for every two players now in camp, but the dele gation from the boiling point is eX- pected along about that time. Yes terday's business consisted of more batting and more chasing around with George Witse shooing the rookie pitchers after flies to strengthen their legs so that they may have good support during the season to come.
