TIGERS OPPOSE CURTAILMENT Authorities at Princeton were mis represented, their Silence taken for Assent. THAT TWO-SPORT RULING It begins to look bsd when Rowing is a 'Varsity Sport Interdor-mitory Races. Special to Tbe Buffalo Expreea, Princeton. April 4 With all the dis cussion Incident from other colleges regarding the curtailment or athletlo sports, fnncetoa been claimed by some to at ta bottom of the whole reform vn far at lo have been In league with the Harvard faculty In securing the reductioa ot the number of Intercollegiate contests there. Coming, aa It did, a tew daya after President Wood row Wilson had given oat ia New Haven that be waa avers to continued ath letic Interest throughout the academic year.

It wa taken to meaa that Princeton favored such a reduction a waa recommended la Harvard. The Issue ot th affair waa that canvas waa mad of all tba Eattara aad enter universities to determine their respective attitudes and it aeemed that Yale, alone, stood for the res ant system ther. The Tiger Institution it not la favor of a reduction intercollegiate contests, but It to favor et the present methods. President Wilson's Opinion, only. President Wilson opinion, aa ba himself later declared, wa entirely a personal one and lis application should aot have been tan en to mean Princeton any more thaa aaother institution.

That ther le aitogetaer ta mucn time givea to athletic In th collage waa th essence or nts tsit in isew iisven, out In Princeton, while thlt it realised, oa th other hand It ia fait that with the modification which have been Introduced here, ther It ao cause for complaint and rather Princetons attitude snouia tieto inauc ue other of the bit colleges to partake of aa arrangement which has been her a for the last two years, restricting an athlete to competition in only twa branches ot sport. Tbit is a fatal more from tbe athletle viewpoint, but on the tide ot scholarship. It su bee ryes the purpose which the Crimson authorities are trying to obtain by curtaining athletle ecneauies. Healthy Arrangement here. In Princeton.

If tn athlete caa play base ball and football well enough for a 'varsity team, he cannot compete tor any other athletic ortanlzation' Curiously enough. In ath letics It is quite usual to find all-around men thna who seem at tbe topnotch in an sport but these men invariably are at college only a year or so for the detraction from collegiate work which it entailed by playing on tbe varsity eleven In the fail, the hockey ana btskMbslI teams In tbe winter and the base ball nine In the spring Is too great to be consist with an honest faculty. So It It that the tll-around man is restricted and It works out well for the athletic enthusiast, tor by meant of this rullnK the athlete Is enabled to slay In college the lull lour years, as ne thus has ample opportunity for study. Tbe Princeton attitude on the matter et cutting down athletic schedules waa clearly stated by an editorial In tbe Dally Princo- tonian. the omclal organ ot student sentiment here.

It declared that Princeton's silence In the question should not have been taken as assent, nut tne jersey college is entirely in favor of retaining the present system. Rowing will be affected. But while sports have prospered In spite ot the two-sport rule here, tbe Introduction of rowing as a serious branch of 'varsity atoieucs naa causea consiaeraoie uiscussion, both among alumni and undergraduates, who ar looking aneaa to next year or tne to new ln one when Princeton will be repre sented on tbe water. At Tale, th excuse which ba been offered recently wbea- Princeton has won every championship sine about 189. with on or two exceptions, it tt de clared that crew work draws the athletes from baseball.

At Princeton, the diamond start bavt managed to be at th top rank for many year and mere naa beea no crew. Now has arisen the consideration that with a crew baaeball will fall off. There It bo oae tion but what the emphasis which baaeball has received in Tirertown baa. been respons ible for the poor track teams turned out bare ana unless mere is torn raaicmi enaag ra th two-sport rule, seems likely that row lot will be serious! yaffected. Rowing naa peaa delayed a week by tne building ot the boatbouae, but It Is ejpetced that all crews will be on tbe water ca Monday or Tuesday.

An Ingenious plan hat been euggestea to boost rowing mat ot nav-inz an Interdormltury race of four-oared shells In the regatta In June. After tbe four eights bar been chosen tram the different clauses, th remainder et the squad will picked for the four-oared race of tbe dorml lories. Tbe plan has been worked with success at Harvardr Events open to amateur Shooters of Pennsylvania only. Bradford. April (Special).

Robert 8. Print 1. eecretary of the" Bradford Qua Club, has prepared the official programmt for the eighteenth annual tournament of the Pennsylvania Btata Sportsmen Association, te be held In Bradford on May 24th. ITth and iith: While a atata affair, It will be given unHer the auspices of the Bradford Qua Club, which organltatiea la making ex traordinary preparations for entertaining from 1-6 to lfie ehootora on this occasion. The aeveral events will be open to PeaatyV vania amteura only.

The Squler money-back system will be need, and thlt will protect the shooters of ordinary skill and at the eame time make It possible for the high average winner to make good money. Tbe Bradford Gun Club will aet asiae one cent for each target thrown during the three last day, to be divided among the shooters. In tbis manner tbe management can give back to the shooters 11,000 in cash If ther ar log shooters, and the local members will be very much disappointed if ther ar not at least 1:5 preeent. Besides the 11.008 In cash, the local club will rive Sloe in merchandise. The Bradford Gun Club members expert to make this the largest tournsy held in the state of Pennsylvania.

Luther J. Hauler of Pittsburg lias been engaged to manage tbe tournament. Brock ghowed the best. Los Angeles, April 4. George Memale (Jimmy Burns) and mil roc or fought tea rounds before the Pacific Athletic riuh last nisht.

But that la aa coaeoiauoa for thla year's meet. Deertng may ecore la the dual meeu, but bis chances la th Intercollegiate are very. slim.

And he will hardly be able to run In either ot the deahee.

There are many other candidates for tbe abort runs. but ao far none who has the earmarks a world-beater. Talcou and Treman are the beat mea la the hurdles. Talcott will be sent attar the high and, perhaps, the low, too, while Tre man will be entered la the low hurdle. Tram an Is working away with enthusiasm.

Moreover, tba daya wbea be raa the tw Ball are not tbe preeent Records now are taa fifteen seconds faster than they used to be.

It was bad enough to loaa White, who went lata th faculty. But tt la much worse to have Mar. the football center, wee waa Just developing Into a wonaeriui soot putter, leave th university.

A radical chants la athletic policy waa aa Bounced tbit week when Graduate Maaager Dutan aald that the athletic consul, the gov- ernlna board of all Cornell athletics, would not support rreenman athletic and rn tne luture freehmaa taama would bare to look elsewhere for Bnaacial support outaide of the association In other worda, the association will no longer pay th bill. Thlt meant that in the future there will be no freahmaa games in track football or baseball unleaa the members of th freahmaa class coma out and pay them eelvee. The retarms given (or thlt attitude tre that tie athletlo aaaoclatloa can aot afford loo tt.OOS a year oa freahmaa' athletics.

It It felt by mea aa tba athletle council That tf freshman teams are to be supported they should be eared for by the freshmen tncmeelvee. And that rats to tbe real rea ton at least the philosophy bsblnd thla legis latlon. Cornell Intends to show to ue pub lie aad to the university world in particular that the one-year eleglbillty rule, which debar freehmea from athletic for one year 1s to be lived up to not only ta th letter, but la th spirit.

Hereafter freshman athletics will be dl oreed financially from 'varsity athletics. They will be put on a true Baeit ana it it entirely up the men In the freshman class to say whether or not they shall Continue. Evea th freahmaa coaching will be ebollsh-ed. There will be a separate coaches for freehmaa taama. Except craw.

Tne varsity coacae will have charge. Aa a matter or fact, rresnman coaching lor the laat two rears hat beea more or less of a farce. Mcaey waa paid out and bo results war obtained, coraeii mea generally are to ba congratulated oa tka ellmiaauoa of tht useless expense. varsity co arses caa aatii, handle the freahmaa team and handle It wi much mora Interest thaa haa beea displayed. With the recent strict law aa to summer baaeball and thee new rule Cornell hat taken another commanding position la regard to clean athletics.

The Ithacaas ar pointing out that It la aot neceaoary to cut dowa In tercollegiate schedules in order te giv ata-lettea their proper place. That the athletic authorities are willing te help th freshmen, however, la maalfeet by the leaialatloa which makes the second mas In the competition for assistant managership ot a varsity team ue manager or tne freehmaa team.
