Late that evening with a full
heart he dashed north to visit
the King and Queen of Belgium.
Thereafter he returned to
London where he met Prince
Axel of Denmark whom he was
to escort to America on the LIE

developed a severe case of influ-
enza which he must have
caught at Brest where an cpl
demic was raging. Despite all
the preventive measures that
were taken, it turned into pneu-
monia, and he was carried off
the boat at New York on a
stretcher.
BY the time he had GONZALES

While Franklin was travelling

able to finish his work in time

From all accounts it was a de-

GOLF BOLDNESS
!: STUNSFANS

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, July
6.-Golf enthusiasts were today
still talking about Walter Hagen's
deliberate playing of the seven
teenth hole in yesterdays first
round of the British open, a ges-
ture of fearlessneSs that will for
ever endear him to all st. An
drews. The gesture in question
was his boldness in playing for
the pin at a hole where nearly
everybody is content to play
safely short and then chip up to
the pin.
This is especially true of those
trying to protect low scores, since
the Shot requires superb accuracy
to carry the bunker and yet ap-
ply enough "stop" to hold the
pin on a narrow, tricky green.
If. it doesn't, the famous road
awaits the ball and 7 or even
an 8 is the usual result.
When the ball finally bit in
and held 6 feet from the pin, the
Prince of Wales, democratically
coatless, joined the spontaneous
ovation that went up for the
Americans effort.

PARIS, July 6.-There aren't
any heavyweights in France;
Frenchmen are all too small, &C.
cording to the Argentine boxer,
Vincente Parrile, who has sue
ceeded in beating all the heavy
men who would face him here,
among them Frances champion,
Griselle.
"The Amer; ans are the best
alI-arOund boxers in the world"
adds Parrile, alias "Franken-
Stein," as he was named in the
United States last year because
of his fierce-looking face. "The
English used to be good, but
they seem to he in decadenCe."
Parrilie has just been in Lon
don for few rounds with Ben
FOOrd, South African.
Everyone turns around to stare
at "the clouting Argentine"

Boulevards.

from him scares any French gar
con to do his bidding. No one
would ever dream he has just

like 80.
Parrile is keeping the same
rules in gay Paree as in New
York. He's always in training
whether he has fight on or not.
Even the good French wines do
not entice him; he's a real tee
totaller and he does not smoke,
either. This fighting business is
very serious with him. The day
of a battle he doesn't eat at ali.

The association is the educa-
tional standardizing body for
New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware. Maryland and
the District of Columbia, and
publishes the list Of colleges
recognized as standard.
A Police Move
Mailing of the blanks, by the
Commission on Institutions of
Higher Education, the judicial
and law-enforcment body of the
association, is interpreted as the
initial police move of the COM
mission to enforce the so-called
athletic scholarship regulation"
of the association, which regula-
ton may bar from inclusion in
the list of standard colleges any
institution of higher learning in
the territory mentioned found
guilty Of subSidizing athletes.
Receipt of the blanks by the
various college presidents of the
association brings to mind a ques-
ton propounded by one of their
number at a meeting in New
York held last January.
When informed that the COM
mission would request information
from each president in relation
to the number of athletic scholar
ships given out by each member
institution Of the association, the
querying executive asked Prof.
Adam Leroy Jones, of Columbia,
chairman of the commission:
what percentage of truth do
you expect to receive from the
college preSidents?"
The so-called athletic scholar

bitter warfare among educators

the George Washington Univer-
s1ty, becoming leader Of the lib

Of the commissions right to run
the internal affairs of member
institutions Of the association.
Three Local Members
The date set for the rendering
of the first judgment of the COM
mission is October /, 1888, about
two weeks after the scholastic
years of 1933-34 opens.
In it's interpretations of the
regulation, the commission indi-
Gated that it may or may not go
behind the word of the college
president to determine whether
or not athletic scholarships are
awarded, and, incidentally, to de-
termine if the president mas told
the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth.
Among member institutions of
the association are Georgetown
University, the Catholic Univer-
slty Of America, the George Wash
ington University and University
of Maryland.
