Suspension Of Frosh
Rule Shot in Arm
To 5kibo Sports
Carnegie Tech Alumni
See Uptoke on Grid,
And in Basket Ball
BY the Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH, Feb. 14-Carnegie
Techs football and basketball
squads, rendered weakened by a
de-emphasis program, received a
flgurative shot in the arm" with
the announcement that freshmen
would be eligible for varsity compe-
tition.
The Engineers were the first Of
the Steel City's three major COL
leges to suspend for duration Of the
war the freshman rule.
Duquesne has tabled the pro-
posal, but may adopt it. Pitt, a
disciple of the Big Ten, unoff1cially
has opposed it.
Techs decision was the best news
to its mournful fans since its light
football team put up great battle
last fall to hold powerful Notre
Dame to a 1910 victory in the last
of a colorful and hard-fought series
Tartan alumni figure the move
is certain to build up the manpower
of Coach Eddie Bakers grid squad
and ease the pain of its 1941 record
of only one victory-over little Al
bright-in seven starts.
Strict scholastic requirements keep
many of Techs 1850 male students
out Of varsity sports, but suspend
ing the freshman rule will let Baker
draw on some 500 plebes.
Fans apply the same reasoning to
the basket ball team, which has won
only three out of 10 games this sea-
son after going winless for two years.

man kicked him, he recalls grimly.
1t was SO when he was graduated
from Yale, for that was the year
another Harvard man kicked him
and cracked his right leg, he says.
This time they were playing lacrosse.
The year he suffered a crushed
kidney in a spill on the Cresta
bobsled run in Switzerland was '37,
an important date because it was
the same season that Alexis decided
to become an eyewash tycoon. He
since has risen sensationally to the
position of vice president in the
company, which sold a sound ,200,-
900 bottles last year.
Hurt Playing Touch Football
In 1941 Alexis broke his leg again
(the lacrosse leg) and purchased
the Philadelphia Eagles of the Ma
tional Professional Football League.
The two events were interrelated,
because he broke the leg while play
ing touch-footban with some Of his
husky employees at their training
camp In Wisconsin. Otherwise the
Eagles cost him only net loss Of
$4,000 for the season.
So far Alexis has resisted every
temptation to try to play tennis with
Don Bulge, Bobby Riggs and the
others of the all-star troupe now
touring the country under the
Thompson banner. But that prob
ably is only a matter Of time, and
he should get at least a broken arm
out of it.

Capital Saddle Folk
Well Represented
In Camden Show
II Events on Program
Of Outdoor Seasons
Opener on Saturday
BY LARRY LAWRENCE.

From the winter training grounds
Of Camden, s. c., comes a prize list
of the first horse show Of the 1912
outdoor season. The eighth annual
Vrginians' show will be held next
Saturday, on the estate Of the we'll
known Virginia sportsman, J. North
Fletcher Of Warrenton.
Founded in 1885 by q group Of
Virginians who habitually winter
their prize stock at Camden, the
show has grown in importance from
year to year as an event which gives
exhibitors of green horses a splen-
did opportunity to show their hope
fuls before moving North.
There are II events on the pro-
gram, including classes for hunters
Of every category, steeplechaSe types
and Jumpers, which always attract
large number Of top-notch entries.
Capital Well Represented.
The Capital horse area will be rep
resented by goodly number Of fine
steeds. Richard K. Melons Rokeby
string from Upperville includes the
noted Similar, Bulveta, Replica II,
Copy, Southern Soldier, Never Sur
prised and St Patrick's Day.
The youngster classes have some
promising candidates for the 1942
Virginia circuit and the 3-year-old
Virginia championship. Mr.. and
Mrs. Herbert Bryant of Alexandria,
Va, have a grand prospect in
chestnut 3-year old by High Jack
Suellen. Another 3-year-old of great
promise Is Boot to Boot sired pay
candidate owned by Nancy Hass of
Middleburg, Va. Miss Elinor Leh,
one Of the best riders ever turned
out at Arlington Hall College, has
clever 3-year-old entry by Bird
Boy. From North Fletcher's stable
come two promising numbers, a s.
year-old by Boot to Boot and a
brown colt by Reign Count.
George Washington Was Judge.
| The fame of Camden as a winter
training resort dates from 1920 when
a group of men and women inter-
ested in steeplechasing inaugrated
that sport on a course that had
been the site Of fiat racing from
1920 to 1861.
Prior to that, thoroughbred racing
had heen conducted in South Caro-
lima for a hundred years. and it was
in the Carolinas that the first rae
ing organization was formed in 1760,
Gen. George Washington was a
judge at one of its meetings.
Springdale, the present Camden
course, IS the only plant Of its kind
in existence affording every facility
for making and training steeple-
chasers. 1t is a delight to trainers
and owners, for the great amount
Of sand provides excellent going and
the jumps are so constructed as to
test thoroughly horse, yet give him
a break.
Beside the Rokeby Stables, horses
wintering at Camden are the hunters
and chasers of such noted owners
as Mrs. E. du Pont Weir, James E.
Ryan, F. Ambrose Clark, E c. How
ards harrington Stables, Mrs. Fay
ingalls,, Harry Lungers Christiana
Stables and Mrs. Marion du Pont

The most glaring exception is
Larry MacPhail of the Brooklyn
Dodgers. Larry doesn't like Alexis
even a little bit, and vice versa.
Their feud arose out of a 81, 900 bet
between them1hey disagreed as to
who won.
"Ater all, a thousand bucks is a
thousand bucks" Alexis says.
Furthermore, I'm not worth all
the money they say am. My father
died in 1890, and there wasn't much
for anybody to leave in 1880. All I've
got is in investments, and my net
income the last year wasn't more
than $50,0O0."
He doesn't expect to make any
money out Of the tennis tour, but
neither does he expect to lose on
the venture. He says he would have
realized a tidy amount, though, If
his players hadn't started injuring
themselves on opening night and If
they hadn't run into billiards in a
half-dozen big cities and if the war
hadn't started.
He figures the tour will have
crossed around $4,000 by the time
it winds up in May. Also, he expects
his football Eagles to make money
next winter.
Marries Glamour Girl.
Alexis was married in 1886. be-
tween broken legs, to Miss Ann St.
George, one Of the glamour girls of
the period. In 1899 they legally
separated and since then Alexis
has been more or less prominent
member of cafe society, squirting first
