The Red and White was outscored from the floor, 10 goals to 8, but Garber nelped his quint along with fourteen successful shots in eighteen trials trom the foul line, in addition to olaying an excellent floor game, and Quiln_not only fed his tcammates well, but came through with a pair of paskets that bolstered his team when it most needed bolstering. Western outplayed Eastern at pass- ing, but it was unable to show to ad- vantage under the goal. The Eastern- ars, loose in the open field, were sav- age in their back-court guarding and frustrated many well meant Western attacks. This overzealous defense was costly, however, for it gave Gar- ber frequent opportunities to demon- strate his skill at free tossing. He did not miss with a toss until his tenth effort.

Sweetser says that the matter had not been taken up formally with the faculty up to this time, but that he ex- pects that it will be soon. Sweetser was out of coliege last year, and returning this year expected to fin- ish his course in time for the trip to England with the American team.

AMBRIDGE, Mass., February preventing soccer from beco 14—The part that Harvard played in ming the foot ball game of American collegians ; the time when base ball was a game in which the catcher, bloody and half blinded, looked like a badly mauled boxer; days when rowing was a disreputable college activity, and the development of track athletics as an outgrowth of rowin Harvard Athletics,” just issued. g, are described in “The H. Book of " The book, compiled by graduates of the college, who were special- ists in their undergraduate days and since, contains statistical stories of Harvard's pani‘al?aunn in the past seventy years in these sports, in hockey and in tennis. h it are group photographs of every Harvard team, with only five exceptfons. The changes in equipment and costume are striking. ‘The stand which Harvard made against the type of foot ball being played in 1873 by Columbla, Princeton, Rutgers_and Yale is described by Morton Prince of this city, a member of the class of 1875. Harvard, playing a game under “Boston rules” re- sembling the foot ball of today, de- clined an invitation to attend a meet- ing of the Intercollegiate Foot Ball Associdtion tendered by Yale, because the other colleges Insisted on a game of virtually all foot work. Refuses to Attend Meeting. “It Harvard had not refused to join the association it is highly improbable that the modern game played, the American rugby, would ever have evolved,” Prince wrote. “Instead, all the universities, colleges and schools today would be playing assoclation rules, practically soccer.” The anclent rivalry between Harvard and Yale finally finduced a com- promise that led to acceptance of the rugby rules, he dded. The first Harvard-Yale game, ac- cording to review written by Martin L. Cate, '77, had total $705. Subsequent history of the gridiron game is written by former Representative .C. _Thacher, '82, New York; James L. XKnox, 'S8, present foot ball strategist, Fisher, captain In 1911 and present head coach. President Emeritus Charles W, Ellot contributes in his account of “Rowing in the Fifties” the statement that “it would never have occurred to me to seek accees to the Harvard crew because it was not a reputable thing to belong to that crew. The boats In those days were used, both spring and fall, as a means of bring- ing home members of the crew who dlf not propose to return sober from an evening In Boston.” Boating was the fi-st organized sport at Harvard, he sald. The Harvard crew of 1858, of which Dr. Ellot had become a mem- ber, wearing crimson handkerchiefs, established crimson as the college color. = Single Feature Survives. “Base ball as played today fs en- tirely different from the parent game of nearly seventy-seven years ago.” declared Willlam T. Reid, '01, former coach, who writes that the single feature of that game which has sur- vived in its original form fs the "dls- tance of ninety feet between the bases. “New names for the various tions have crept in.* he says. hands have been slipped into gloves, the catcher of the calloused hand and scarred face and fingers has been supplanted by the modern knight with mask, protector, shin guards and mitt, and the pitcher with his limited receipts of and Robert T.; underhand dellvery and overload of work has been freed and coddled.” . How the catcher's mask made fts first appearance in a Harvard game in 1877, having been invented by Thayer, the Harvard captain, from the ‘mask used In fencing, also was described. Ellery H. Clark, '96, in reviewing track athletics states that the track team at Harvard “was oddly enough an offspring of the crew,” the result of James Gordon Bennett having given a cup for an intercollegiate i;r;?’-mllc run at Baratoga, in July, Correct Rule IGNALS. The center should S approach his position by com- ing up from the rear. When about two full steps from it, he should stop, glance at the forward giving the signal and then take his position. The other players should catch the signal at this time. In order to do so they should avoid getting behind their opponents at | this moment. Teams should change signals sev- eral times a season. This makes it most difficult for the opposition to get them in advance—the real danger. You see, opposing players rarely have a chance to dope out your signals during a game. Usually they are too busy getting their own at the same time. It is the coach and the opposing subs who fathom them during a contest. The best signal system is to find the weakest point of the other team and direct your plays there. Dur- ing the past few seasons some coaches have been giving the sig- nals_ from the bench. Amateurs considered this unsportsmanlike. It should not be done. SPORTS. INSIDE GOLF By George O'Neil. WHAT HAPPENS HERE? Strange things can happen EY golf ball in play, as every goifer knows, and oftem these happen- stances give rise te perplexing problems as to what the owner of the ball is to do in the ecircum- stances. For instance, not long ago I was playing on a Washing- ton Mr‘e’ WIII'A. D. Laske: chatrman of the Shipping Board, ‘when a driven ball bounded from the fairway and fell into the ton- nean of a pussing automoblile. Fhe ear, being driven away fromn the clubhouse, was occupled only by the driver, and he dfd not no- tice the ball fall inte the back of the car. He drove om away with it. The player was considerab! mystified aw to what he should d Hix ball had been driven from the tee. He teed again and sent out another drive. Was he right or wrong? REFEREE’S DECISION. He was wrong. His ball fell into a moving obfect. The rules provide that in such circumstances another ball should be dropped. This player should have dropped another ball, therefore, on the fairway as nearly as he could ap- proximate to the shot where his drive came down. (Copyright, John F. Dille Co.)

(OLEGES STL ST ON CAEW RACELENGTH BY LAWRENCE PERRY. NEW YORK, Februarv 14.—It is by no means a certainty that the Pough- keepsie stewards will vote definitely one way or the other on the matter of extending the three-mile regatta to four miles. This is to say that the deadlock as to the distance for the annual June race which developed out of the January conference may not be broken at the meeting to be held here tomorrow. If no feeling develops over the situ- ation the fact of the deadlock may result in retention of the three-mile route. It is, however, difficult to say what will happen in view of the fact that Columbla and Syracuse on the one hand are so ardently committed in favor of the longer distance and Pennsylvania and Cornell wedded to the three-mile idea. ‘With the situation thus. an opinion from the middle west, where rowing is about to be taken up on a falirly wide_scale, may be found valuable. Dr. John W. Wilce, director of ath- letics at Ohlo State University, was a member of the University of Wiscon- sin crew in his student days and rowed in the four-mile regatta at Poughkeepsie two successive years. “Although.” he writes “I personally enjoyed rowing under the old four mile system, I incline to the opinion that the three-mile race is somewhat preferable because of the probability of lesser strain on the oarsmen. par- ticularly with reference to the heart. I frankly feel that the two-mlle race would be just as satistactory. “I believe both intramural and in- tercollegiate eight-oared rowing could be based on two-mlle racing with an occasional three-mile race with the same elements of enjoyment and good sport—and with fewer of the dangers of over indulgence. “Incidently, I belleve, a shorter &is- tance would open the Intercollegiate fleld to institutions, which might have® facilities for training for shorter dis- tances, where they would be unable to prepare for the classic four miler. I believe this is the case at Michi- gan and I am sure it would be the case at Ohio State, where we hope in the near future to take up eight- oared rowing.” Copyright, 1923.
