Sykes: Upon publication by the preéss of statements concerning the existing sit- utaion as regards the administration of Connecticut College, & mass meet- ing of the entire student body was held on Th , March 15th. Al- though the students realized that no judgment from them was fitting and that they were in of no definite information on either side of the question, the following motion was unanimously 5 Be it resolved that the Student Council be empowered to act as a committee to draw up appropriate res- olutions to be Sent to President’Sy! upon he sancltion of the assembled student body. Through the following _statements the students seek to express to the President of the College, their general appreciation of his work with and at- titude toward them during the two years of their association with him. In all those activities which have been the Mmaking of the social life and spirit of the College, President Sykes has ever been a faithful guide and ac-_ tive participant. His wise council and untiring energy have aided materially the establishment of high standards of conduct, which we fervently hope may always represent the traditional spirit of Connecticut College. In the light of their inexperience the students feel that it is almost be- yond their power to express adequate- iy in terms of language, their appre- clation of Dr. Sykes as a great scholar and master teacher. Opening for his students broad flelds of vision into the realm of the best literary. ideals. Dr. Sykes has led us to a more thoughtful discernment and a finer sense of ap- preciation of life values. Above all he has given lasting and inestimable in- spiration for the cultivation of those vital forces which mold the exemplary character of the noblest type of wo- man. At all times President Sykes has given the students to feel his ardent cooperation and ever present Interest in their activities expressed through entire self government. The strong spirit of student government has been largely responsible for the unified and loyal attitude of the students in their great pioneer work of launching a worthy colleglate spirit. It is the.wish of the students to express their deep sense of gratitude to the far-sighted leader whose influence made possible this opportunity for the. practical de- velopment of these intellectual and moral qualities of individual responsi- vility and independence which combine to make the broad minded self-re- specting individual of greatest service to_society.

Mr. Herrick is at present at Hot Spurings, where he 1is recuperating from a recent illness, and will leave there within a few weeks. ‘The Harvard crews have been re- stricted to work in the tank up to now, as there is still about one foot of ice on the river. Harvard has been invited to ‘make use of the Farragut Boat Club by that ion, and if there is an- other cold spell, retarding the thawing of the ice, s possible that the Har- vard crew Il accept the invitation this year, as they did last, and do some rowing at Lynn during the latter part of this month. At the present time four 'varsity and three freshmen crews are rowing in the tank every day, while the other ‘varsity and freshman crews take fre- quent turns at the indoor rowing tank. Last week the Harvard coach began instructing the oarsmen in the use of the stroke which will be used by.the Crimson crews this year. It is sim- DETROIT PLAYERS TIRE OF MILITARY TRAINING. Tigers Complain of Strain Upon Their Musocles. Detroit, Mich., March 20.—Des- patches received here today from the training camp of the Detroit Ameri- cans at Waxahachie, Tex., state that the Detroit ball players are in sympa- thy with a movement started by fellow athletes to abandon the military drills they now are receiving. It is under- stood that the Cleveland clud already has taken such action. Several Detroit players have claimed that the drills have caused severe strain upon muscles never brought into play on the baseball diamond and that the ~work has -hindered more than it has_helped their playing. ‘The local players have been drilling with bats instead of guns, and it is understood this has been unpopular with them.

' James and Spencer, MARKET WAS ACTIVE United States Steel Contributed Over 20 Per Cent. of Total Operations. New York, March 21—The many ad- aitional advances registered today were accompanied by another very large volume of business in which signs of a re-awakening of public in- terest_were not wholly lacking. The fact that ome stock—United States Steel—contributed over 20 per cent. of the total operations, which asgresated 1,335,000 shares, detracted in a meas- ure from the impressiveness of the rise. More than half of the overturn oc- curred before midday, the market thereafter settling down to-a moder- ate pace, with intermittent realizing. Traders showed increasing caution la- ter on the possibility of unlooked for developments from Washinston. The higher trend was inaugurated at the outset, most of the speculative favorites showing initial gains of one to two points. Rails, which still re- mained under ‘the conflicting influences created by the supreme court decis- jon afirming the Adamson law, were less active and strong, though record- ing gains of one to two points. ‘Among the more strikng features of the session were Bethlehem Steels at gross gains of 9 1-2 to 10 1-4 points, the new stock touching 139 1-1 and the old 146. United States Steel rose to its best price thus far this vear, making an extreme gain of 2 1-2 to 117, at which quotation it elosed on free absorption of large lots. Other strong Industrials were Sloss- Sheffleld_Steel, Crucible Steel, Lacka- wanna Steel, Gulf States_Steel, R public Iron and Colorado Fuel at ex- treme gains of 2 to 6 points, with 2 to 4 for equipments, an average of 3 for oils and 2 to 4 for sugars, lcathers, in dustrial Alcohol and International A ricuitural Chemical preferred.

It's the uncertainty that makes baseball the national outdoor sport. It's this same uncertainty that makes bowling seem to many one of the greatest of all indoor games, especially in the winter time. One of the main features about the tenpin games is that a bowler is apt to get a split on most any kind of a hit.” Ana splits have probably ruined’ more great games than any other fea- ture. These splits have proven the down- fall of many a tenpinner, whether in 2 special match, in a tournament or Sust In a friendly game. There are two splits which stand as a ‘general rule only on pocket hits. They are the -9 and $-10. On most occasions the $-10 stands only on a 1-3 hit and the 7-9 on a 1-2, or Brook- Iyn. What's more, it's next to impossi- ble to pick either of them. Unless it is in a match or tournament competi- tion, a pin toppler very rarely shoots for either of these, preferring to take nine pins. Plain Luck Here. Among the other splits that are just about impossible to bick are the 4-6, the 7-10, one pir standing on each side of the drive, and the 4-6-10, generally known as the big four. #¢'s just plain luck whe nany one of these s picked and bowlers who get them, if they do not shoot at them, go after the great- est number of ping. One mistake made by many bowlers is that they figure they ha when the head pin is stan matter what kind of a break, @ split when the No. 1 pin is standing. The 2-7 or baby can be picked by fitting the ball between the two or glancing the 2 pin and sliding it over for the 7. The 3-10 is the same split on_the right side of the alley. ‘The 5-7 can be picked only by hit- ting the No. & pin with the ball and sliding it over for the 7. The 5-10 is the same split on the right side of the drive. The 3-7-10 is picked by fitting the ball between the 3 and 10 and shiding the 3 pin over for the 7. The is the same split on the other side. The 6-7-10 can be picked by glancing the § pin and sliding it over for the 1. The ball will knock down the 10 pin. Accuracy is Needed. ‘The 4-5, altaough it looks easy, is one of the hardest splits on the drives to pick. To do this, the ball must be fitted between the two pins. The space between these two is exactly the same as_the size of a regulation ball. The 4-5-8 is picked is exactly the same way. The 4-7-9 can be picked by glancing the 4 pin and sliding it over after the other two. You have to be very ac- curate to turn the trick, though. CHAMPIONS WORKING HARD AT TRAINING CAMP. Game With the Yannigans Marked by Sensational Plays. The Regulars went right after the opposition as though something big were at stake. Some idea of the way they fought can be gleaned from the fact that the manager himseif was spiked in the hand trying to block off a runner who was trying to plifer. Sensational plays were numerous. Reinforced by the high class twirl- ing that both Tyson end Mays provid- throughout the six innings without a single hit, but the only men that did reach first base were advanced that far only through bases on balls. Tyson awarded two passes and Mays gave one. ‘The surprise of the game was the Rnnfl.\n‘ that big Babe Ruth received. e Babe was found for six hits in three innings, five of these swats com- ing in the third, when the two runs were scored. Babe’s punishment was mostly due to an arm which is still dicapped by young Fred Thomas, the New Orleans recruit, who was nervous in this his first day’s workout, and showed it very plainly. The newcomer made one fine play, but his work suf- fered by contrast with the cock-sure performances of the nimble-footed Scott. Tyson Starts Scoring. In the third Tyson, who comes to the team with a fine reputation as s hitter, wummmemmu- from the training camp of the New York National league club at Mariin, Tex., to the effect that Outfielder Dave Robertson was suffering from a_se- vere case of water on the knee. Rob- ertson is supposed to have wrenched his knee in the game at Waco Sunday. He dM mot pay much attentlon <o the injury and further practice aggravated| the strain/ until it became necessary for the club trainer to order his retire- ment from practice until the injury shall yield to treatment. - FOOTBALL SOLONS MAKE FEW CHANGES Kick Eliminated—Message Carrying Curbed. New regulations to curb the carry- ing of instructions from the side lines and the elimination of the field goal from a multiple kick formation are the outstanding features of the new rules adopted by the football rules commit- tee for the 1917 season. The commit- tee at its annual session which closed at New York Saturday, instructed the secretary to prepare corrections and additions to the code to cover the fol- lowing changes: A substitute player entering _the game must not speak to any other player on the field until the ball has been put into play; in case ~dhy change in the positions of the players is necessary, the incoming substitute must give informatfon through _the referee. In case the substitute takes the place of the player giving signals he may give the signals for the mext play, but cannot speag to any player nntil after the ball is put into piay. The penalty for a violation of this rule is the loss of 15 yards. In order that the préSent rule may 'not work a hardship considerable lee- way has been given the referee in the matter of inflicting penalties for the failure of a substitute to report to the game officials before entering the play. The new addition to the code makes it discretionary with thie referee whether or not_the penalty shall be imposed when the incoming substitute fails to report, but does not interfere with the play or speak to the plavers prior to the ball beinz put into play. Tt was_further ruled that a goal from the fisld could be scored only by a place kick or drop Kick, and the fact "was cmphasized that a place kick was made with the bail resting on the ground. This swould appear to bar the use of ythe multiple kick forma- tion as now in vozue, as the ball is uspended bove the use of at_the be- Multipte The Other ¢ the ball ° there is illezal interference with the player receiving a forward pass at the point wher» the foul is committed. Tn case the foul is committed behind the goal linc the ball goes to the offended team on the one vard line. A penalty of five yards will be imposed in the future for runninz into the kicker, and fifteen yards and disqualification for roughing: the penalties to be Im- posed fro mthe point where the ba'l was put into play. The referee is al- so0 empowered to permit the substitu- tion of a new ball in play on a wet field @t the end of the second period. Napier Beats Reds.
