President Frazee of the Red Sox will be able within a week to give odt a pretty accurate list of the play- ers who will represent the Hub in the ; American league this season. Recent developments at the navy yard may have caused some consternation in ranks of the Red Sox rooters but the ultimatum from the navy yard of- ficials has not sent any chills down the epine of the Boston club owners. Frazee has been preparing for & long| time on the quict. He saw the way that things were shaping up. While in-certain quarters it was believed that the Red Sox at the navy yard might be granted furloughs to play ball this season, the owner of the team never considered this possibility at all and on the quiet he has been working along certain lines with the view of having a complete and powerful line- up on March 15, no matter how many of his would be taken into the ser- vice of Uncle Sam. Frazee was Very SOrry 4o see some of his best ascets taken into the se: viee of the government but he heen patriotic enoush ‘o o medicine without a whimper.

Holyoke men interested in putting the fight game back on its feet in that city, met with officials of St. Jerome’s Temperance society in the boarg of government rooms of the society Fri- day night, and as a resuit things look bright for a boxing bout staged by a Holyoke club, on or about February 4. Tt seems to be the opinion of those interested that public opinion is now with the game and that no interfer- ence with its development as a sport in Holyoke will be encountered. Riversides Planning. Now that the Irish Patsy Cline- Willie Jackson bout has been de- clared off for good on account of the managers of the fighters not being able to agree on the weight question, Cline wanting 126 pounds at the ringside and Jackson 133, the officials of the club are now trying to get together three ten round bouts for the boxing show on February 11th. Jackson in Bout. A match has been arranged by tele- graph between Willis Jackson, the New York lightweight, and Cal De- ianey of Cleveland, who sems to do better fighting every time he engages in 2 battle. They will clash in a ten- round no-decision bout at a show to be held at Toledo, Ohio, on the night of February 1.

The advocates of “sport for all* in our educiational institutions have adopted a slogan which appeals to all classes. It is the most universally popular _athletic propaganda ever launched upon the American public. The wam has crystalized it. There- fore every educational or athletic man who talks on sport during these stren- uous days is as given to a daudation of this idealistic form of physical cul- e ture as is the . politician to ' patriotic phrases. Like all idealisms “sport for all” is far more easy to eulogize than to_accomplish. Unfortunately, sport for all as been dealt with entirely too generally. Few ‘| of its advocates have gotten down to fact. There has been an avoidance of the practical and complex problems its realization in our colleges would have to surmounts Vital points have been carefully avoided for glittering gen- eralities and high-sounding phrases. ‘Witness the Yale-Harvard situation, now that Princeton has come out in favor of intercollegiate athletics. Here we find worthy gentlemen devoting much time to an arrangement of in- tercollegiate sport and but little to a plan of what they are striving for. They are inconoclastic—not construc- tive—if their public methods of deal- ing with the situation. Because of this they have been subjected to much censiire at the hands of the press and we find them in a defensive position, where as as advocates of a new regi- me in college athletics, they should be on the offensive. It seems as though both sides in this present intercollegiate athletics tangle —if they only knew it—are striving for much the same result. Take the two extremes—the professional coach and the academic agitator. The form- er ts more and more experienced candidates for his teams; the latter wants every student playing these game:. It would seem they are on common. ground. Unfortunately there is another type in educational work which is at odds with the two mentioned above. I refer to those dried professors who op- pose all athletics. They are paicfists. They have no place in the work or play of a nation. RBalanced minds were never more needed than today. Con- | physical culture which calls for cer- \ e Sayl Sol Metzger—The Varsity Te-m Should be Goal sequently this type of educator may be dismissed in dealing with any. athletic problem. Having seen wherein all balanced ed- ucators and athletic officials are striv- ing for much the same thing let us now examine the question of sport for all. Sport for all goes far beyond the realm of intercollegiate athletics; far beyond the vision of intra-mural spm and extends itself throughout our whole educational system, else it miss- es its mark. Its realization is a big work. The college in no way can solve it alone. But our colleges can do much to force a comprehensive plan of sport for-all and a nation-wide scheme of physical education at the same time if they-deal with facts, just as our government long. ago realized it in so far as it relates' to our two . service schools at West Point and Annapolis. Let us (for the sake of brevity, deal with the problem only in so far as the college is concerned. If our educators are in earnest in their acclaim of this sport for all prop- aganda because of the splendid results its establishmeit would have‘both up- on the manpower of the nation as well as upon the health of the individ- ual they need but require a physical standard along with the mental, as an entrance requirement to. the college. And why should they no do this? True, this might work hardship in| the beginning, but in the end it would supply our colleges with balanced young men each capable of filling his place in the day’s work of the future in a far more efficient manner than has has been the case in the past. And such a standard would force our entire preparatory school system—wherein the courses are modeled to prepare students for college—to -establish a system of physical education which would begin with childhood. This act alone would have tremen- dous and far-reaching results for good. For one thing it would give our col- lege a personnel fit to play games and pave they way for sport for all in each educational institution. ~Within the college the mental parallel could well be appied to the physical.

Just as the Class Day Honor 'Men - must prove their worth by four - years of mental effort. Such a scheme would rid us of many of the present evils of inter- collegiate athletics; it would make our vasity teams truly representative of the educational work of the college; and it would give to each.student the oppotrunity of winnig his letter as the reward of merit.

The plan is not the writer's own but it is a summary of such information as he has been able to obtain from those men who have been thinking deeply about the practical solution of our educational problem of sport for all. Whatever plan is adopted we gain nothing by casting aside intercollegi- ate athletics. Its best features must be incorporated into a sport for all programme.

Windham’s passes were” mostly fum- bled, chiefly due to the gréen players. The Plainfield five proved to be a good machine team. They usually got the jump and then'passed to their goal, but missed the majority of their' easy shots. ‘The only phemenal. baskets were shot by ‘Smith. He was fine on the follow up and made severl one- hand overhead shots. The play of the game was in the vicinity of Plainfield goal.

A great deal of imporfance will be laid upon crew work this' year, princi- pally because of the splendid organiza- tion of Princeton rowing under Dr. J. Duncan Spaeth. With the recent de- cision of the board of athletic control increased impetus has been added to the sport and there are now six crews working daily on the machines under Dr. Spaeth and Coach Fitzpatrick. The schedule for this year is still in a tentative state, but Princeton will doubtless participate in the historic Childs cup race as well as the usual !dual and triangular meets if they are ! held. Keene Fitzpatrick already has a squad of 60 odd track men practicing daily in the cage. Several of the var- sity candidates are experienced men and are showing promise in the pre- liminary workouts. The sprints are represented by Caotain Barrett, Lar- kin, Stewart, ‘Brown and Van Meter. Raymond is the best candidate in the mile, while Erdman, a member of last year's team, is doing well in the hur- dles. Sinclaire and Cleveland are the best of the weight men. — By PETER P. CARNEY. Editor Natmnfll Sports Syndicate. That the East and the West are evenly matched as regards trapshoot- ing ability is proven by a persual of the 1917 averages compiled y the Interstate Trapshooting Association. It is singular, likewise remarkable combined averages of the highest ten shooters from each section of , this great couniry should be the same— 9644, but, that is what the Interstate Association ‘“‘dopester” says they are. That is just about as close as any one could expect in one year's shooting. But we did a little figuring on' our own hook and getting the thing down to the smallest of fractions we find the West has a fraction the better-of the statistics, v West, .964419; East, .964353 That isn't much difference, to be sure. but we didn’t want to proclaim to the world that the high ten shoot4 ers of the East‘'and the highest ten of the.West deadlocked to the frac- tion on 53,000 targets. and have some other “dopester” writing to the edi- tor informing him that the figures were incorrect. Whatever joy there is for the Western shooters in the margin given above they are welcome to. This is. the first time in three years |that tie West has outshot the Kast in_the averages. Ty Cobb beat Nap Lajoie for the American League bat- ting crown one year an even small- er margin than the West put it over the East this past season, so tha{ fractions are worth something, aiter all. ('Jfllifornia, the Hope of the West. Eastern leaders fired at 29,035 and broke 28,000, while the Western stars shot at .26,700 targets and smashed 25,750. The West owes much to Cal- excellent statistics for ch ten shooters are from the Golden state, and two of them are from lLos Angeles. York contributes four of the Eastern team's ten. Woolfolk Henderson, C. H. New- comb and Frark Troeh and J. R. Jahn have been on all the Western teams. This idea of comparison of the East against the West and the profession- als and amateurs in trapsooting will bring forth as many, arguments as the selection of All-American baseball or football teams, for there are more s/- tive participants in trapshooting than any other sport.
