n n ADDISON, Wis, January 81
/" The recently coined phrase
IVA and practice of "de-emphasiz-
ing college athletics" is hav-
ing its repercussions on the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin campus.
The athletic coaching staff is seeing
the Handwriting on the wall" as the
result of faculty action last year, which
revised the university curriculum to
raise scholastic standards.
The committee in charge Of the re-
vision laid such stringent athletic eligi-
bility requirements that the coaches to-
day admitted the success OF Wlscon-
sins intercollegiate athletic future after
the next school year is highly prob
lematical.
Little Calls Meeting.
The situation has become so acute, 1t
was learned today, that Athletic Direc-
tor George Little has called meeting
of his staff for Monday night to discuss
the eligibility requirements that VIII
become effective when the present
freshman class ends its sophomore year
in June, 1882. While Little sought to
discount the importance of the meeting,
he said that the curriculum situation
will be gone over.
While Little admitted no more than
cit is a matter for consideration and
we'll have. to go into it." Glenn F.
Thistlethwaite, foot ball coach, and DR..
Walter E. Meanwell, basket ball coach,
held decided views on the matter.
"While the whole matter is still
problematical," DR.. Meanwell said, 1.-The
new standards are certain to NOV
freshmen down. The rulings should
not affect my varsity teams greatly,
because my boys are imbued with team
spirit that makes them stay eligible IN
order to play"
ThistIethwaite Is Pessimistic.
Coach Thistlethwaite was not so OPP
timistic.. Although he Is a wearer OF
the Phi Beta Kappa key, the highest OF
scholastic awards, he sees no hope for
the large ma iority of his players. He
yisualizes Wisconsin foot ball teams as
sophomore teams, teams that will be
made up. year after year, largely OF
men playing their f1rst-and usually
their only season of intercollegiate foot
ball.
DR.. Carl Russell Fish, professor of
history and chairman of the committee
making the scholastic revsions, said:
THE attitude of the report is that
students waste to much time In college,
and we aim to take up the reserve
energy. We hold that students who
enter athletics are students"
The curriculum revision affects the
present freshman class and all succeed

new Miss America, the tenth of the
line, would be built to defend the plaque
this year.
A race between Kaye Don and Gar
Wood undoubtedly would furnish one
of the most spectacular contests ever
seen in speedboat competition. Miss
England II holds the worlds official
speed record at 987 miles an hour, set
by Sir Henry Segrave at the time of
his death, June Is, last.
Has Been Near 100 Miles.
Woods fastest time was 93.123 miles
an hour, made with his Miss America
VII, several years ago. 1t has been
said, however, that his Miss America
TX has approached the 100-mile-an-
hour mark in unof1icial trials, and that
Wood is confident an even faster Miss
America can be built.
In attempting to lift the Harmsworth
trophy from Gar Wood, Kaye Don
would be taking UP a task given up
last Summer by Miss Marion Barbara
Carstairs, English sportswoman, after
three unsuccessful trials, which are said
to have cost her close to 100000. Mis-
haps has logged the efforts of foreign
challengers almost constantly. Travel
ing at terrific speed, their boats have
burned, feed lines have failed or other
difaculties have made most Of the con-
tests markedly uneven.

ARTS, January 31.-The entry
- lists for the 1881 European Zone
Davis Cup matches closed with
10 nations entered for the in
ternational tennis play. Twenty Ave
were entered last year.
Although the entry lists are officially
closed, any entry mailed before mid
night tonight, and so postmarked, will
be considered valid.
The entry lists for the North Ameri-
can zone also closed today, although no
official list was given out and will not
be until sufficient time has elapsed to
permit all mail posted before midnight
tonight to be received.
Draw Set for Wednesday.
The 10 nations entered in the Euro
pean zone are Austria, Belgium, Chech-
oslovakia, Denmark, Great Britain
Germany, Hungary, Holland, Italy,
Ireland, Japan, Jugoslavia, Monaco,
Norway, Poland, Rumania, Sweden and
Switzerland. The final official list
will be made public Monday.
The draw for play Is to be made
Wednesday at the Elysee Palace.
Japan, Great Britain, Germany and
Italy again are favored to go through
to the semi finals, unless two of them
should meet in the first round, as Eng
land and Germany did last year.
U. s. and Canada Entered.
Only two entries are known to have
been filed in the American zone-the
United States and Canada--unless Cuba
and Mexico should have made a last
minute decision to enter the play.
Entries for the third zone, the
South American, were closed last Sep
tember, with Brazil, Argentina, Para
quay, Uruguay and Chile as the COM
peting nations.
The South American zone was only
created last year, those nations previ-
ously competing in the European
zone. Formation of the new zone par
TALLY accounts for the loss in the Eu-
ropean zone entry list.
A new method Of preliminary play
also will be used this year. South
America is to finish her matches this
Winter, the winner to meet the win
ner in the North American zone fol
the right to meet the European zone
