n YEw YORK. June 28.-One sport
M in which Yale very greatly dis
Y likes to be beaten by Harvard
is rowing. Still another is
hockey. Yet another is foot ball. In
brief. Yale does not relish defeat by
Harvard in any major sport. Same for
Harvard.
Perhaps It is chiefly because old
grads of the two universities meet one
another at clubs and other places OF
social resort throughout the country as
well as in business.
One notes a difference in the attitude
of the two sets Of old grads Of Yale
and Harvard. The Ellis accept victory
with a certain smugness, as who should
say. well, it is in the natural order
of things"
Harvard alumni on the other hand,
gloat. They have made of gloating a
fine art when it comes to Yale. Yale,
grouchy in defeat, will say that Har-
ward men are the worlds worst win
ners. If this is true. it serves but to
offset Yale's calm assumption OF supe-
riority.
A T the same time, athletic gloating
n causes a lot of trouble. 1t broke
friendship between Virginia Mill
tary Institute and william and
Mary, and still keeps them apart. 1t
severed Georgia and Georgia Tech for
many years. It may yet cause bad
break in the Pacific Coast Conference.
AS to Yale and Harvard. defeat and
victory in rowing touch the upper cir
cles more than in any other sport.
Bankers men eminent in every esteem
ed circle, who lift their eyebrows and
smile when their team loses, say in foot
ball, figuratively tear their hair when
their crew occupies the stern position
at New London. This probably because
of the long tradition of aquatics be-
tween the two universities and the fact
that rowing there has had an unap-
proachable and unique social sanction
With Harvard's victory on the Thames
last Friday, Yale rowing Is in an un-
easy position. Having won last year,
Yale looks forward to 1888 with a GER
tain intensity which is quite explicable,
in view of the fact that another defeat
by the Crimson would blot ELS escutch-
con with humiliating three-in-a-row.
THIS would mean an aquatic sys-
i TEN In which the Blue had taken
not only pride. but comfortable
assurance that all was well in that
quarter, had developed alarming symp-
toms of disintegration. Confidence in
a hitherto all-conquering coach would
be replaced by gnawing distrust,
complicated by fear, that it might be
necessary to go once more into a mar
ket whose supply of winning rowing
instructors is limited practically to the
extent of non-existence.
It is a curious fact that in Yale
Harvard rowing history the university
that has won two straight races has,
with only one exception, won three or
more successive Enthusiastically more.
The exception falls in 1882 and 1883,
when Harvard won. only to lose the
following year.
Whitside, the Harvard coach, per-
fected his rowing technic at Syracuse,
where he served as assistant to Jim
Ten Eyck, and he appears to be pre-
cisely the man for whom Harvard has
! long been looking But in difference
to his predecessors it should be said
that while rowing at Cambridge is still

sociation is concerned.
Faced with the prospect of dwindlins

major Eastern colleges and universities
has voted to prohibit radio broadcastins
of all foot ball games played at their
home stadiumS or under their jurisdic-
ton next season.
I'VE must take advantage of every
opportunity to increase financial re-

Philip B. Fleming, graduate manager OF
athletics at West Point and president
OF the organization, in announcing the
drastic decision.
Radio Cuts Attendance.
at has been definitely established
that radio cuts into attendance. 1t was
with considerable reluctance we decided
to forbid any broadcasting of games
which we control, but since foot ball Is
the only sport producing the moneys
necessary to support our athletic pro-
grams, we must take steps to derive al
the financial benefits possible"
The association comprises a dozen oi
the largest schools in the East, includ-
ing Harvard, Yale, Princeton. Pennsyl-
vania, Brown, Pittsburgh, Navy, Army
Columbia, Syracuse. Dartmouth and
Penn State.

RING LIST JUMbLED
BY RECENT DO|NGS
Only Thing Certain Is That
Most of Star HeaVies
Have Gone to Seed.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

n YEW YORK, June 28.-Recent
doings in the sock market
have thoroughly scrambled the
ratings OF the heavyweight di-
boxing consensus showed the first 10
vision. A comprehensive annual ma
tional boxing consensus showed the
first 10 heavyweights as follow at the
turn of the year: Schmeling, Sharkey,
Loughran, Schaaf, Walker, Strioling,
Carnera, Grifiths, Poreda and Uzcudum
AT the end Of May the heavyweights
were listed in the following order In the
Ring, a magazine devoted to ocxlng:
Schmeling. Sharkey. Schaaf, Walker,
Carnera, Baer, Levinsky, Ramage, Retz-
laff and HamaS.
You will note some changes there
from the end-of- -the-year consensus
How would you rate the heavywelghts
today. taking into consideration the
important fights between the big fel-
lows in the last six months?
IIERE are a few results which must
be given consideration. To start
with, Sharkey has taken over the
championship on a decision that raised
an almost unprecedented storm OF pro-
test. Only a few days ago Stanley Po-
reda, Jersey City youngster who long
has been threatening, whipped Ernie
Schaaf, who had shown signs OF deterl-
grafton in recent bouts.
Johnny Risko, returning to the wars
after a lay-off of seven months, chalked
I'm a decisive victory over Mickey Walk
or. who previously had scored over the
q rtnnhtfll verdict.
Poreda's victory over Schaaf and Ris-
kos triumph over Walker were major
upsets, stunning defeats Of top-rankins
men.
A LMOST as much of surprise to the
n great body Of fans, who do not
look into things too closely, was
Larry Gains defeat of Primo Carnera
| in London a few weeks ago. Though
highly ranked On the other side, the
Canadian Negro had been almost for
gotten by American fans.
Since the end of -the-year consensus
Loughran has been severely jolted. The
gentlemanly Philadelphian has been
knocked out and also outpointed by
Steve Hamas, a comparative newcomer,
and outpointed by Kink Levinsky. Att
er he knocked out Loughran, HamaS
went to California to lose decision to
Lee Ramage, schoolboy boxer. Strib-
ling was decisively outpointed by Schaaf.
II you can untagle that mess you are
in line for appointment to straighten
out the tumble over war debts and
few other problems that have been dis
tressing the worlds best minds.
The one conclusion, in which all no
doubt will agree, is that most Of the
leaders of the heavyweight parade have
gone to seed.
