~ WO of the features brought out

dence for some time. One is the

tor as against being a spectator. The
other is the line that is being drawn

intercollegiate competition, however,
Is not breaking up. Some Of the fren-
gate side always will be the foundation
of university sport. It is difncult to
believe that leading American univer-
sites will ever come to the complete
dominance of the intramural games.
There may be further decrease in
intercollegiate competitions, but not to
any marked extent. There undoubt-
eddy will be greater care in the selec-

equitable rivalry under the same han

Professional foot ball is sure to take
away part of the public at large. Many
who were accustomed to seeing the
Saturday college games now walt for
the professional contests. This was
shown at the Polo Grounds last Fall
where over 10000 saw the Giants and
Green Bay Packers battle it out.
But the college side has nothing to
worry about There will be enough
interest and enough receipts to handle
the situation all along the line. Ger

by w., o. MCCLELLAN

A T two miles 1t became evident that
"A the grandfather Of all the rowing
experts was right. The Stanford
crew had absolutely no form. Each
man rowed as suited his individual
fancy. They splashed their oars so
that the shell was at times half hidden
In the spray.
The men Of the eight were badly
matched as to size. Each rowed in his
favorite position. One rowed leaning
backward. one rowed sitting erect, while
still another rowed with his chin rest
ing on his elevated knees. There was
no rhythm. no rhyme, no reason. But
the Stanford shell proceeded into the
lead. At the bridge it showed open
water between it and the favorite OF
the experts.
On they went, webbing and splash

thing but the Splashing Of the Stanford

was beaten by a scant half length.
In all Of the other shells men col
lapsed from the strain. and the special
launches came to tow them back to
their boat houses. But the men in the
Stanford shell seemed to be just about
as fresh as when they started. The race
over, they turned around and rowed
back up the river, still showing no form
whatever and justifying the verdict of
the grandfather Of all the experts. They
had no launch, II seemed.
As remember, they did not even
have a coach to talke all of the bows
in the event that they had won the
race. Imagine a college crew with no
coach to take the bows or give alibis.

TT seems that this Stanford crew did

broken, for 1t had no training table.
It boarded out somewhere near the
boat shed. How came to learn about
this was that the captain-elect for the
following year came to me on the fol-
