(N AMBRIDGE, Mass., May 25.- C “‘Houser, who was beaten for the shotputting championship last year by Hille, has wonderful nervous energy and unparalleled speed.

In running events it. is an asset to be keyed up, but that does not apply in the shotput. “Interest in shotputting among col- legians is traceable, T believe, to the desire for foot ball men to take up weight events for off-season training. 1t is natural that they should turn to weights and vet it is a difficult task for the big man to perfect timing and rhythm, which are all-important to the shotputter. “In 49 meets the winning put h exceeded 47 feet on eight occasions, i cluding the last four successive meets.

The Western Conference universities, which have been dallying with the project of in- )| stalling aquatics in their calendar of competitive sports, would do well to take note of this. It i rather a costly diversion, but it has a flavor and a spirit of ama- | teurism that are worth the price. At Cornell last Saturday nearly 40,000 enthusiasts remained upon cold, bleak promontories or along the wind-lashed banks of Cayugra Lake until dark waiting to see the varsity crews of Yale, Princeton and Cornell row their annual regatta. Cornell is not supreme in rowing any more. The genius of Charles Courtney, the grand old man of row- ing, has not been transmitted to his various successors. Yet the spirit of rowing lingers at Tthaca in all its pristine opulence. And today, as yes- terday, the number of students who come out for the crews is greater than the outpouring for any other sport, save possibly track. ‘With conditions thus it is only a question of time when the Red and White find—If the present season does not prove he has been found—the coach qualified to restore the ancient prestige. It was unfortunate that old Boreas should have descended upon the Cayagua section of New York State on Saturday afternoon and puckered up the surface of the lake to a. de- gree that made even motor boat navi- gation hazardous.
