AMATEUR CUE CHAMPION TO JOIN PROFESSIONALS Friends of Calvin Demarest Say He Is About to Enter Class of Money Players. Calvin Demarest of Chicago has probably played his last billiard match as an amateur, l ne great young cham pion has ' out stripped every one of his "simon pure" competitors so completely that there is no one in the country per haps In the world, unless it be Mor tier, the French champion that can carry his cue. That Demarest is about to enter on a professional career and join Demarest. the ranks o.f Schaefer, Sutton, Hoppe, Vignaux, Cure and the rest of the world's mas ters is practically admitted by those closest to him. His recent exhibition match at Kansas City at 18:2 balk, line with Charley Ferris, the Minne--apolis professional, according to his friends, is merely a preparatory step toward the professional leap. Plans are under way to hold a big professional balk-line tournament at Chicago this winter and Demareet, be yond the shadow of a doubt, will take part In the event. That he will by that time be capable of holding his own with Hoppe, Sutton and the other stars few who have watched his me teoric rlBe doubt, and eventually it is believed the lad who voted at the re cent election for the first time will beat all of them. Demarest has a style of hip own. This particular style, a combination of speed and delicate close play. not. seen since the days of Napoleon Ives, is conducive to big runs and high aver ages to which there seems to be al most no limit. His improvement in the last year is almost beyond com prehension and another year on his shoulders may find him at the top of the professional ladder. .

MANY ARGUMENTS OYER THE RULE ON HURDLING Knotty Point in Football Not Clear to Spectators Definition Accord ing to Committee. One feature of the football rules which is discussed a great deal and ove wuiuu mere nas Deen many an argu ment between football captains and the officials, is , the one in regard td what does and what does not consti tute hurdling. This question is one about which the spectators also dis agree, and many different opinions in regard to it may be heard at almost every game where there ! is any semblance of a jump by a player run ning with the ball. , There are very few games, especial ly among smaller college teams, that the referee is not many times asked the question, "How Is that for nurd ling?" if a player jumps over an op ponent who Is prostrate on the ground, no matter what method he may take in doing so. The rules committee has threshed this question out pretty thoroughly, and has instructed the prominent of ficials as to just the proper ruling in such cases, but there are many play ers who have not yet learned how the rules about hurdling should be inter preted. It is also hard to convince the average spectator that one player can jump over another in any manner and still not be guilty of hurdling. mis is not particularly strange, as there is very little difference in the meaning of the words hurdling and jumping, when taken in their general sense. The definition of hurdling and tbe different ways it may be done is giv en in rule 8, section 15, which Is as follows: ' "Hurdling as used in the rules ap plies only to the man carrying the ball. , "Hurdling in the open is jumping over, or attempting to jump over, an opponent who is still on his feet. "Hurdling in the line is jumping over, or attempting to jump over, a player on the line of scrimmage with the feet or knees foremost:, within the distance of five yards on either side of the point where the ball is put in play." The penalty for hurdling is the loss of 15 yards from the spot where the foul occurred, .the point to be gained and the number of the down to remain unchanged.

MODERN GRIDIRON WARRIOR IS NOTED EDUCATOR PRESIDENT ELIOT HEAD OF HAR VARD FOR 40 YEARS. Dean of University Chiefs Tenders Resignation to Take Effect Next Spring Is Father of Elective System in Schools. Boston. President Charles W. Eliot for years head of Harvard university has tendered his resignation. PresI dent Eliot will be 75 years old next March, and desires to be free from the cares of office the remainder of his life. Although because of his age the res ignation of President Eliot has been looked forward to as a probability fe? the last two or three years,' the news that he will retire in the near futur will doubtless cause surprise to thou sands of Harvard graduates through out the country. He is the. dean of American university presidents, and the general public, like Harvard men, has grown to look upon him as an educational institution not to . be changed suddenly. No university head, indeed, probably is better known.' to the public than President Eliot,, and his long administration of university, affairs, in its essential respects, seems in keeping with Harvard's spir it and history. "-" President Eliot is in his seventy- fifth year, having been born in Bos ton, March 20, 1834. He was fitted for college at the Boston Latin school and in 1853 was graduated from Har vard. From 1854 to 1858 he was tu tor in ' mathematics and student in chemistry at the university; in 1858 he became assistant professor of mathematics and chemistry in the uni versity's Lawrence Scientific school and remained in that capacity five years. Then he went to Europe and studied chemistry and Investigated educational methods for two years. Returning to the United States in 1865, he became professor of analytic al chemistry in the Massachusetts In stitute of Technology, where he- re mained four years. Again he went abroad, to France, where he studied a year and in 1869 he returned to take up the presidency of Harvard. At the time he became the head of this old and wealthy seat of learning and culture President Eliot was 35 Charles W. Eliot. years old and had achieved a repu tation as an authority on chemistry. These two facts hardly qualified him for the administration of a great in stitution of learning, according to New England traditions. Since their es tablishment the principal colleges of the east had been governed by clergy men ' past middle life. It was some thing of a shock to New England to have a young man and a scientist be come the head of Harvard. The idea of young men and non-clergymen as presidents has since become popular; and this is largely due to the suc cess of President Eliot's administra tion. The name of President Eliot will forever be associated with the de velopment of the elective system in American universities. He, possibly more than anybody else, brought about this system, . which was for a long time looked upon with suspicion and distrust and has not yell found universal acceptance, though to a de gree its principles have been accepted by nearly every one of our larger in stitutions of learning. The system differs fundamentally from the old rigid curriculum of prescribed studies in allowing a student to choose the greater part of the studies he must take to earn a degree. According to President Eliot's views on the system it promotes concentration and indi viduality, equipping each student to make the largest contribution to the betterment of the race and combining practical with theoretical culture. It has been said of President Eliot that he is "first, last and only a uni versity administrator," instead of being first a great teacher or author or scholar and secondly a great adminis trator. He has the faculty, highly de veloped, of co-ordinating the work of many men toward a harmonious and effective end, and he has a vigorous and impressive personality that has enabled him to carry out his ideas without exciting opposition. His kind liness of spirit and desire to put stu dents on their honor as much as pos sible have made him popular with undergraduates to an extraordinary degree. One of his great achievements as an administrator has been the steady bettering of the Harvard professional school. The Lawrence Scientific school, the medical school and the dental school have been greatly . im proved and, the law school's high standard has been raised.
