COLLEGE MENTORS
MAKING BIG PLANS
1881 Events Give Signs of
Preparation-Harvard Has
Hopes of Victory.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n YEW YORK, July 15.-All the
M intercollegiate rowing men
4 Y are looking forward to the
boat race for the cham
pionship of the world, which will
be one of the important features
of the Olympic games at Los
Angeles next year.
1t is said that Yale's somewhat
shorter stroke and the shortening of
the swings in the California and
Washington shells were brought about
prepare their sweepswingers for the
tests which will be held to select
crew to represent the United States in
the Olympiad.
Undoubtedly the Olympic trials and
the international regatta to follow will
be the big shots of the 1882 rowing
season and. while the events which
annually occur in the course of = sea-
son will not il any sence be overlooked.
the fact remains that the races esso-
ciated with the Olympiad will bulk as
Of prime Importance.
Harvard Has Ambitions.
Harvard rowing enthusiasts are
counting quite heavily upon Olympic
honors. Standing as the only unde-
feated crew in the country in 1881,
the Crimson certainly will enter upon
the 1892 season with great deal OF
prestige as we'll as with that confidence
among the oarsmen which success in
evitably brings.
Only two men will be lost from the
Cambridge boat Capt. Hallowell. at
No. 2, and Webster, at No. 4, and
there is a wealth of material to fill
these vacancies.
While winning crew one year is by
no means sure sign that the follow
ing year will see repetition of success.
Harvard none the less is justified in the
feeling that at least her rowing system
has begun to function and that better
rival crews and not flaws in coaching,
in conditioning or in the selection OF
material will hereafter be the causes
of defeat
Yale will lose three varsity oarSmen
from her smooth-rowing combinat ton
a more rhythmic crew. but a less power
full one than the Harvard eight. But
she will hav- at least Is highly quail
fed freshmen from whom to select re-
placements not only for the trio who
have been graduated. but for places
occupied by sweepSwingers whose nnesse
was not bulwarked by physical strength
May Face Handicap.
1t is a pity that Harvard and Yale
will be obliged to face what may prove
to be a pretty decided handicap in the
OLYMPIC trials. Their 4-mile regatta
on the Thames falls only two weeks
before the tests at 2 miles or less
which will be held to decide which
crew shall represent the Nation in the
International regatta at Los Angeles
year from next month.
Apart from the expenditure OF phys.
ical strength in the New LONDON grino
there will have to be changes in the
s-vle of rowing while the mental let
down following grueling test is likely
to be an important factor.

POLOISTS SEEK REVENGE
Argentines to Play Old Aiken In
Second Tilt of Series.

CHICAGO, July Is CP.-Santa
Paula's polo team from the Argentine
today had the double objective of squar-
ing its series with the young Old Aiken
four, and wip.ng out the only defeat
1t has taken from an American outflt.
Their ponies rested and recovered
frcm the journey to the Onwentsia
Club, and better acquainted with Old
Aiken's style of play, the four horse
men of the pampas were confident they
would erase the l4-to-11 defeat ad-
ministered by the young Fasteners last
Saturday Failure would mean the end
of the series, while triumph would
make necessary another match Satur-
day.
Both teams offered the same line-ups
that played through the first match.
Alfredo Harrington was at No. /, Juan
Reynal, No. 2; Jose Reynal, No. 3, and
Capt. Manuel Andrada, back, for Santa
Paula, while Elbridge T. Gerry was at
No. /, James P. Mills, No. 2; Stewart

HEALTH AND
DIET
BY Logan Clendening-


It's quite possible we could
get along without the nose. It's
two functions seem fairly un-
important-to moisten the air
before it goes into the lungs
and to give us our sense of
smell. We could moisten the
air by dragging it through our
mouth cavities. From the
taste of my mouth some NOR
ningS I should say we do
moisten the air that way about
a third of the time. And we
could get along without smell
ing.
A Nose Is Dressy
But then the great question
arises. What would we put
in place of the nose? AS some
body said about an entirely diff
ferent part of the anatomy:
After all, a nose is dressy."
Smell seems to be our least
important sense. But there is
some debate about it. We GER
tainly do not depend upon it as
much as other animals do.
But there is a theory that a
large part of our sense of
taste really originates in the
sense of smell. An epicure who
heard this doctrine decided he
preferred smell to sight or vision
and broke into poetry:
"Oh, save me my ears for life'S
cadences sweet
And preserve my vision to
gaze at the swell.
But if of any Thou must de-
prive me,
o Allah, please save me my
sense of SmelL"
Zone notes that this poet was
deprived of his sense of rhythm
long ago.
Loss of Smell
Loss of smell does occur.
sometimes due to disease Of the
membrane of the nose, some
times to injury of the brain
destroying the olfactory center.
Technically, the condition is
called anosmia.
Many peculiar stories are told
Of perverSions in the sense Of
smell. A woman after an in
jury to her nose, lost all power
of smelling for two years. Sud
denly wakened from deep
sleep, she experienced a series
of the most terrible odors; this
lasted several weeks and was
finally terminated in a COM
plete return to her normal
function.

Dora, pale as marble, stood
rooted at the mirror, not dar-

seen what had happened.
"Why-why, this is an out

Spluttered Jack.

bought three hours ago. Don't
try to fool me, I saw you. I'm
here to get it, and I'm gonna

at the bandit and her husband

With a sudden swift motion.
Jane raised the hand that was
not holding the dish and hurled
an open tin box straight into
his face. There was a swirl of

the bandits eyes. With a yell of

she is very dear to me.
Please help me.

think. 1t is so sweet and indl-
Gates such deep devotion, that
I urge you to use your moth
er's name, as an honor to your
feeling for her.
Or, if you wish, you might
write the invitations to your
wedding, making the invitation
informal. In this invitation you
could say:
Dear Mary:
John and I are to be married
