He never had full swing at Cambridge, for not until this year has it been definitely understood at Harvard that the coach is supreme and that graduates with a tendency toward interfering in crew ters are not_wanted, in fact not tolerated. If this had been the rule when Haines held forth at Harvard he might have had a more successful ad- ministration—and M. I.

PARIS, May 12—America’s easy victory over Rumania in yesterday's Olymple rugby match tends to lend great interest to the game scheduled for next Sunday between France and the United States, which is expected to draw a record breaking attendance. Nobody who was present at yester- day’s game can doubt the enthusiasm of France for foot ball. It is true that the crowd was rather small, due to the elections, but the liberality in noise made up for what was lacking in numbers. Even partiality of the vellow painted bleachers for Rumania was due apparently to nothing more than fear about next week's result. If Rumania had won, Krance would have carried off the championship. If the United States won, especially by a big score, France might be beaten. Over five thousand foot ball teams exist in France, the correspondent is told, and the figure implics athletic development of which Frenchmen are proud. Everybody unites today in praising American sportsmanship. “None of that brutality we expected was actually displayed on the field Sunday, one crtic. “In fact the husky Yankee team seems rather to have gone to some pains to spare the frail Rumanians. By the Associated Pross. COLOMBES, France, May 12.—The American rugby foot ball team vester- day won the right to meet France in the final match of the Olympic com- petition by defeating the Rumanian team, 37 to 0 The score might as well have beer 100 to 0 had the Americans been d sirous of piling up a larze number points. They were content, however, simply to win, and plainly held back During the second period the Ameri- cans carried out snappy combination work and tricky passes instead of crushing the lighter Rumanian line, as they did in the first period in order to clinch the game at the start.

SCHOOL SPORT RULE NOT TO BE OPPOSED Principals of the five public high schools will not oppose the Board of | Education regarding the two major sport rule in the high schools mext vear, it has been unofficially an- nounced. Many believed the principals would make an effort to have the board rescind its action. Chagrin is being manifested at Western and Business, where the new ruling will be a hard blow. Athletic squads at these two institutions are small, and it is pre. dicted that both Western and Business will produce a lower standard of teams. One of the reasons given for adoption of the rule is “burn” themselves out b; indulging in more than two major sports. Those opposed to the provision declare that athletes confined to only two branches of sports will seek an outlet else- where, undoubtedly with the amateur athletic clubs. The purpose of the restriction is thus defeated, the op- ponents of the rule declare. BREAKS WATER RECORD. By the Associated Press.
