the current saga of Robert Moses Grove:
 Tn his early days as a big leag- uer Grove faltered upon many oc- casionS because he endeavored to put everything he had into each pitch. He could not even allow himself proper time for relaxation between deliveries. The story goes that Cochrane, the catcher, sug- gested to him that he stand still on the rubber and count up to 12 between wind-ups. This had some salutary effects for a while and managed to preserve the keen edge of the southpaw's speed through a nine-inning stretch.
 But eventually some wise man of an opposing club discovered the timing of Grove, and that particu- lar team drove the pitcher to fren- zy by having each batter count to himself and at the stroke of ,12 step out of the box and leave Lefty floundering.
 Tt was the discovery of quite another asset which made Grove the greatest moundsman of his day, if not of all time. By dint of careful practice he m stered a change of pace. And when the bat ter was all set for speed he would feed him a slow one"

Harvard has gone in for the '.house system" in athletics. The idea is to provide more and livelier competition, especially fer the boys of moderate ability.
 There need be no fear, however that this old English custom will eventually cut into the sphere of intercollegiate athletics.
 No one apparently is more con- vinced of the advantages of in- tercollegiate sport, properly con- 6ucted, than Bill Bingham, liar yards athletic director. He re- gards it as the basis of any col lege athletic system.
 To Bingham belongs the chief credit for removing old John Har- yards high hat"
 The old barriers of conservatism and Back Bay influence have pret- ty well vanished at Harvard. Bing- ham struck the new note when he remarked to friends around the dinner table: The three varsity football candidates for center now are Greenberg, Cabot and Casey.

Princeton Last? Huh.

Harvard's olo graas, accustomed to having their annual gridiror battle with Yale as the grand eli max, are anything but enthusiastic over the turn of events by which the Ellis alternately will tackle Princeton as their final foe.
 The Yale-Princeton game fol- lows the Yale-Harvard contest for the first time in so long that it doesn't matter when things were any different.
 There are no immediate indica- tions as to when Harvard and Princeton will neal the whole breach by resuming football rela- tions, but Yales new deal with her old rivals probably paves the way for the Big Three to form a new agreement in the near fu5ure.
 Bill Bingham of Harvard and Dr. Charles w. Kennedy of Prince ton have promoted the cause of better understanding and relation ships to a point where the animosi- ties that burst into flame in 1926 have virtually disappeared.
 The incident of the signet ring is now almost ancient history.
