Chances, however, are that neither at Yale nor at Harvard would any action be taken that might substantiate the assertion of the Yale senior that it has “been sufficiently proved to me that some men have been allowed to make some such sacrifice,” ie., giving ten years of their lives to defeat Harvard on the Thames It has been maintained that the training involved in preparation for the four-mile race and the contest it- self are not harmful. provided the oarsmen after graduation enter upon careers that compel them to meet the demands of hearts and kidneys that have accommodated themselves to the requirements of long-distance racing. But how many oarsmen do this? Few, if any. They enter offices and. for the most part, confine their activities to solf, if that. Are thege men now in their for- tles who ' rowed the four-mile dis- tance for Yale, Harvard and other colleges who are paying the penalty for their strenuous careers on_the river? A Bostonian who follows Har- vard athletics closely told the writer not long ago that there are such cases among graduates of the Cam- bridge university. 1s this true? 1f so, how about Yale, Cornell, Syra- cuse, Columbia and other colleges whose boys have rowed the four-mile route, who are physically handicapped today? Until these questions are answered parents are mot doing their full duty n preparing their sons for life in permitting them to incur possible, if not probable, risks that are out of all proportion to the gain. You don’t always have to comb the colleges to procure a successful coach. Speedy Rush, Princeton coach' in 1915-1916, proved that he knew more of the technical side of foot ball than any man in the country. He came from the University School at Cleveland. And the man who conduct- ed the Tigers to their first basket ball championship . this year was Hill Zahn, formerly coach at the North- east High School, Philadelphia. Zahn was never rated as a great basket ball player. And Zupkke of Illi- nois was never even a varsity foot ball man at Wisconsin. The late who_did so much for at the University of Washington, at Seattle, never pulled a varsity sweep in his life. “It's all in the brain,” as Tom Shevlin used to say. College golf promises to become a regular intercollegiate sport among the western conference universities this year. While there have been oc- casional team matches between some of the big ten schools heretofore, ef- forts are making to have the contests as regular as the base ball, basket ball, and foot ball games. June 19 has been selected for the meet, and each school is collecting a team, some of them including fine players, such as Rial Rolfe at Illi- nois and George Hartmenn of Chi- cago, who can better par when in form. American _golf champlions sprung largely from two cla cad- dies and collegé men, or, the case of Chick Evans, a combination of the two. Ouimet was a caddie, for example, while Robert Gardner, twige champion, was a Yale golfer. Many of Great Britain's best ama- teur golfers are university students, and with the regular installation of \goIf as a college ‘sport, professionals say that many future American champions are likely to come from the campuses of America’s institu- tions, Bobby Jones of Georgla Tech and R. E. Knepper of Princeton, be- ing leading candidates this year. ‘Why go you waggle in golf? You don't? Then you are one of the rowing have few. Chick Evans says he waggles in golf because it is relaxation for him. Jerome Travers says he waggles b 'ha river. is _quite sure until he tries them out. Some professionals hold that it iIs good to waggle once or twice. They don't teach waggling all the after- noon. A banker who was playing re- cently was behind an exaggerated waggler. He watched the waggler with more and more interest. Also with more and more impatience. Finally he could stand it no longer. He ex- claimed, “Friend, I don't want to be impolite, but please hit that ball be- fore long. I've got four or five notes coming due and want to be on hand to meet them.” The truth is that most wagglers waggle before they shoot because they are both undecided and not cer- tain of their aim. I submitting a long list of foot ball stars who have.gone in for grid- iron teaching from the Ohio State, mention is made that two blazing stars are not coaching, Pete Stinch- comb and Chick Harley. They are in business. Possibly the combined sal- aries_of Harley and Stinchcomb would not suffice to keep the coaches in clothes for a year, but what, think you, will be the financial answer twenty years hence Taking that quintet of noted track stars, viz, Larry Brown of Penn, Fiske Brown of Harvard, N. P. Brown of Cornell, Bobby Brown, also of Cer- nell, and Leroy Brown of Dartmouth, a writer deduces that the good old Yankee names have not quite de- parted from our sporting annals, not quite.

The commissioner, however, declded to ignore the chailenge of Johnny Dundee, who posted forfeit February 23, in demanding a match with Kil- bane.
