New York, Dec. 29.—That Dean Le Baron Briggs of Harvard is in favor of professional athletic coaches w made clear in his address at the N. C - A. convention yesterday. Discus- ng athletics and its financial aspect he sai “With notable exceptions amateur coaches are inconstant and transient and tempted to graft and are unable for want of time and of tenure of of- fico to carry out a well considered policy. “Despite the principle of law and demand,” continued the Dean, “there may be reasons why the athletic coach should not receive three times as much salary as the professor of Greck. But there is no reason why he should not hold a position of equal dignity. There is no more reason why the teacher of football should curse his pupils than why the teacher of Greek should curse his.” The professor laid str manship ;and quoted inc last world's series to prove that zeal and noise are part of the game.

The feud existing between the Edfi- pires and the Spartans for athletia honors, was resumed last eveping when bowling quintets of the &lubs clashed at the Aetna alleys. The three games were bitterly contested, the Empires being the winners, taking two games. The joy of the rooters for the Spartans knew no bounds when their pets annexed the first game by a margin of three pins. The Empires came right back, however in the second game which was decided by a three pin advantage. Through the fine work of Kahms of the Em- pires in the last game, his mates were rewarded by victory over thelr ri Allison of the Spartans was the best performer of the match, his score of 121 in the second game being high single and a total of 293 rounded out a pretty good night's bowling. The Office force and the Stors room fives of Rackliffe's Brothers company contested for bowling su- evening, with the re- sult ending in a victory for the pen- cil -pushers.
