Waterville, Me-, Feb. 1.-Charles j.

runners in the east Last summer
while running for the Boston Athletic
Association he competed in some OF
the fastest races in New England ana
was invited to the Yankee Stadium,
where he competed in special race
against the best in the country late IN
the fall. He was beaten for the New

.waterville, Feb. 1.-The second SEM
ester at Colby begins today and with
it's advent some of the most valuable
athletes in the college will become
available for varsity competition due
to the termination Of the freshman
ruling. The hockey team will be
greatly strengthened by the addition
of Tattersall and Rowland in the for
ward line and Scott on the defensive
squad. Pomerleau will also add to
the strength of the squad as he Is a
fast skater and a good shot. These
men will not get into the starting
lineup from present indications but
the reserve strength of the team will
be improved from present indications
but the reserve strength of the teams
will be improved and it is here that
the team is weak. There have been
but six men eligible for the, team who
could bear the burden Of the fast
competition which the boys have met
and the weakness of the team in sub
stitutes has been notable. These men
will undoubtedly get into the games
to be played during the remainder OF
, the season and will be welcomed by
| Coach Roundy.
In track the new semester brings
Gilbert Lines who will run on the one
mile relay team in Boston next Sat-
urday. Lines is one of the best rum

, a very good season thus far. He ran
a half mile in 1903 last fall and has
been equally good Since. Before COM

and took some other very fast races
Dexter and Pitcher are also welcome
additions to the weight squad and
will compete in Portland on Febru.

only a few of the men who will be-
fused on the two squads this winter

Date of Match
Between Wills and
Ienglen Uncertain

Cannes, Feb. 1.-(AP)-When
Helen Wills is to meet Suzanne
Ienglen in a battle across the nets
for tennis supremacy cannot be fore
told. Certainly 1t will not be during
the present week, and possibly not
next week.
Miss Wills has definitely with
drawn from the singles in the Nice
tournament commencing today and
in which Suzanne was belated en-
trant. The reason for the American
champion withdrawing her name
from the list of players was because
during the week a comparatively
dead English ball will be in play,
. while she requires ball with a
t'hop" to it to show her best ef-
forts at speed. The American girl
says she may not play in the Garlic
ton tournament singles next week if
the English ball is used.
Yesterday Miss Wills met with her
first defeat on the Riviera when
paired with Jack Hilliard, she was
defeated in the semi-flnal of the
mixed doubles Of the Gallia tourna-
ment by Miss Emily Petchel Of Roe
hampton, Eng, and Allister McCor-
mick of Chicago. Mccormick play
cd marvellous tennis, while Hilliard
made poor showing. Mccormick
reached the semi-finals of the sin
giles. but was put out . by Henri
Cochet, Frances No. player.
In the singles. Miss Wills came
through to the final yesterday by
winning from Peggy Saunders, an
English girl, 60. 60. 1t was one
of the best exhibitions she had given
in Europe. Her opponent in the fl
nal is Mile. Contoslavos of France.

PROMOTES HOME BUILDING

James E. Kinney, president of the Cen
trail Ohio First Mortgage Company, OF
Columbus, speaking of the influence pro-
hibition has had upon his company, says:
81 have no objection to being quoted
as saying that prohibition has given the
business of building and loan associations
a decided forward impetus. The effect
is noticeable both on the regularity and
size of payments on loans and in the
building up of savings accounts. 1t is
my opinion that the general prosperity
of the country has been developed and
improved and more people have obtained
homes since prohibition than would have
been the case in period twice as long
before prohibition. 1t never occurs to
me that the country will ever again sane
ton the traffic in liquor because of the
blight it would cast on the very satisfac-
tory business conditions which prevail
today"
