GRUMBLING AT REFORM MEASURE
pNikmu Rale Jfat Generally R
Tardea as fraereaafal -Pennsylvania'
Track Prospect for
Aaotker Seaeoa.
Th operation of the freshman rule this
year In the collegia haa not earned Un
limited praise for those who devised the
regulation. Tha opinion la gerieral that
whatever merit there mar ba in tha rule
la put aalde because freshmen are per
mitted to compete 1n Intercollegiate aports.
Tha freshman meets in track athletics, the
rowing races, the foot ball and bass ball
ama and basket ball games between
freshman teams are considered by critics
of tha rule to ba bad. Tha whole Idea of
tha rule, of course, was to check scouting
around In tha schools for athlete. Just as
tha one-year residence rule wae designed
to prevent the revolving athlete. It does
rot acem that much of the real object of
the freshman rula haa been accomplished
when there are full schedules of play for
first-year teams In tho colleges.
Tha Cornell and Pennsylvania freshmen,
Harvard and Tale freshmen and Yale and
Princeton freshmen had track meets this
prlng. The Columbia freshmen won the
intercollegiate basket ball championship.
Harvard and Pennsylvania having teams
In this. Alt the colleges have freshman
bass ball and foot ball teams which play
regular schedules. Those of the colleges
Interested In rowing, except Georgetown,
have freshman crews. The whole spirit
Of tho rule Is to limit competitions In sports
for the first-year men and to prevent them
from having their attention distracted from
the mora serious and regular business of
academic Ufa.
Hole Should Be Repealed.
It IB the opinion of not a few persons
that the better plan would be to repeal the
freshman rule. Its present workings are
not even, for one reason, because not all
the colleges subscribe to It. The larger
Institutions do, but aa It works a hardship
to several others which are smaller, they
are strongly opposed to It. Men who look
at college athletic problems with anything
like a discerning eye are beginning to be
lieve that the freshman rule as at present
Administered Is leading oft on a wrong
tangent They feel that the rule either
should be added to ao as to prevent inter
collegiate freshmen contests or else that It
should be revoked. At present It simply
guarantees that freehmen shall not bo
members of 'varsity teams in certain col
'eges. The rule prevent . the competition of
younger men in 'varsity competitions, but
when the freshmen come to college now
adays they got more competitions than they
Would under tha old system. Formerly they
might make the 'varBlty teama, but such
Instances are not numerous. Nowadays
there are many more meets and gamea Into
which they may enter. They get all the
practice they need, and being within their
own class they do not suffer from the same
train as they did when they were engaged
In 'varsity eporta In their first year In the
eollegcs. They are thus in effect taking up
tha shock of often excessive competition
In their school days and are getting ex
cellent preparation for the , 'varsity com
petition of the sophomore and following
year..,'
Colla rnorf say that they do not think '
that the freshman rule really operates Uj
prevent prqselyting. They say that any
college which wants a man la willing to
l;av him in college for three years of ath
letlo life, especially as under tha present
liystem of operation he suffers no real de
terioration. They are almost a unit in
declaring tha the rula is not a success,
und thr declare that It I unnecessary.
Tr-e unpopularity of euch a regulation was
. hy 'ns action of the delegatea to the
iitffr-jjU'Ote Amateur Athletic Associa
ted fit Amsrlca meeting in New Tfork a
hut time ago. There a proposition to
uar freshr. en from the Intercollegiate
championships was opposed so strongly that
It was withdrawn.
K.raasleln a Professional.
Dr. Alvln C. Kraensleln haa been re-
engaged to coach tha track team at Mor
oersburg academy, so that apparently he
has decided to cast hi lot with the pro
fessional trainers of athlete. When
Kraenxletn was graduated from the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania In 1900 he refused
several fine offers to coach aa well a to
appear In athletic competitions In this
country and abroad. He said ha had de
cided to take up dentistry and to stick to
it. Kraensleln went to Milwaukee and did
keep at dentistry for a long time. When
Charles H. Kllpatrlck left his place as
trainer of the University of Wisconsin
track team, Kraenzleln was appealed to to
take the place.
Kracnxllen took up with Wlsoonsln In
1904. He left there when the athletto sit
uatlon became ao Involved that It was un
certain that any sports were to be per
mitted. He went to Philadelphia and
trained the Haverford Orammar school
team. When Jack Mack left Mercersburg
to take charge at Tale Thomas E. Burke,
the old Harvard runner, got his place for
while. He resigned after a short tlmo
and ur. Kraensleln went to Mercersburg.

In his first season there last year he had
the handling of such men as lye Talbott,
the weight thrower; W. C. Paull, the dis
tance runner, and R. Flack, a hurdler, all
of whom did remarkably well In the aee
son. Kraensleln may reasonably be ex
pected to do good work with hurdlers.
Pennsylvania's Team for 109.
The University of Pennsylvania track
team will be well off In the championships
of 1901, barring the unforeseen. Of the
point winners In the meet at Cambridge
all aave Tommy Moffltt will return. Moflltt
made the record In the high Jump, It will
be remembered. Nathan J. Cartmell, who
won the 100 and 220-yard runs In 1903 and
1907, has a year left So has John B. Tay
lor, the quarter-mile champion and record
holder. Guy Hasklns, the winner of the
half-mile and mile runs, with a record in
the latter event, also hs another year to
run for the Red and Blue. Jay D. Whlt
ham, who qualified for points In the 220-
yard run, and Robert C. Folwell, who
cored In the hammer throw, also will be
In college another year.
The plan of campaign at tha University
of Pennsylvania will be a little different
next year. Had not Taylor suffered from
a bad strain this year he would have run
in the half-mile in the intercollegiate cham
pionships. He will do that this coming
season if his condition Is at all good. He
will be needed to back up Hasklns in that
race because Mike Murphy believes the
greatest possible efforts will be made to
defeat his distance runners. It is believed
the Pennsylvania team will be so arranged
that the runners will lap over In the track
events. For distance Cartmell will be seen
In the 100-yard and 220-yard runs. L. D.
Whltham and J. D. Whltham will run the
220 and 4W-yard races. Taylor will go In
the quarter and half-mile runs and Hasklns
In the half and mile races. These, of
course, will not be the only Pennsylvania
men of prominence.
Carrels and Mlrhlg-nn.
The Michigan team, which made such a
good showing In the meet at Cambridge,
will be minus the1 services of the man who
did most to help out the team. lie Is the
great Garrels, who has run his last races
as an Intercollegiate performer. Inasmuch
as Garrels won 13 out Of 29 point for Michi
gan, his loss will bo felt. In addition H. P.
Ramoy and Stewart, who were brought
east, have been graduated. Neither of
these men was able to score, although
Ramey was looked on as certalny In the
half mils.
What Michigan loses In Garrela will ba
hard to make up. The Michigan men ex
pect to do something with Patterson, the
1910 high Jumper, who was not brought to
the Cambridge meet because of the fresh
man rule. With Mofllt and W. J. Marshall
of Yale out of the Jump, and Gilbert Horrax
as hi chief contender, Patterson should
core in the high Jump. The Wolverines
expect to do better in the broad Jump, as
W. P. Knox of Tale will not be competing
again. Besides their field men, the Michi
gan athletes have their good distance run
ners who were In evidence at Cambridge.
Arthur from the Detroit University High
school la a good weight man who may
core, now that he Is eligible.
The question of the scene of the next In
tercollegiate championship meet will be In
abeyance In the summer. The Pennsyl
vania men, owing to their strained rela
tion with Harvard, are not very eager for
the games to go to Cambridge again. They
have an Idea, however, that the chances are
greatly against the games being taken away
from Cambridge this year. Harvard en-
Joys the support of Tale and Cornell In the
matter of the field for the games, while
Pennsylvania and Princeton, are allied
against the Crimson. Many of the smaller
Institutions are opposed to Cambridge, but
they are In New Tork, Pennsylvania and
farther toward Philadelphia. The New
England colleges are for Cambridge. The
Pennsylvania men feel that In 1909 a suc
cessful try for a change Is to be made.
Reform at Georgetown.
It Is not so long since a wave of reform
struck athletics at Georgetown, and for the
last two years conditions have been such
there that those who ever complained of
laxity would have to change their opinions
now. The athletlo authorities at the Wash
ington university now are severer than al
most any other athletic heads. Men who
have a single condition In their studies are
Ineligible for athletics; men who have
scholarships are not permitted to take part
In sports either. Medical school men are
barred, aa much because of the nature of
their school duttes as by ruling of the
faculty. The students In the law school
live to far away from the university proper
that they have no chance to take part In
athletics.
These conditions naturally operate
strongly against the successful maintenance
of teams. The Georgetown crew has aat
fered greatly because of the disqualification
of men of whom there could not be .the
slightest suspicion as to their amateur
standing. It simply Is a part of the policy
of Father Buell, the present head of the
university. He has no particular sympathy
for athletic sports, and In view of some
abuses In recent years he feels Justified in
taking severe measure. Heads of Cathollo
Institutions are moved with comparative
frequency and If there I to be a change
In policy the Georgetown men have come
to believe they must wait until Father
Buell is called elsewhere to take charge.
At Wisconsin, too, they have the rule that
a single condition bars a student from
athletic sports. Wisconsin is another in
stitution passing through a reform stage
In sports. It generally happens that re
formers start by tearing down the existing
fabric, without much regard for possible
consequences. That was what was done
at Wlsconnln, arid the damage done before
athletic sports were restored to anything
like a quiet basts will be hard to repair,
those who are interested In sport at Madi
son declare. The athletto advisers there
say that eventually sport will be restored
to Its old basis and that there will be none
of tha trouble which nearly wrecked every
thing out thore In the last two seasons.

simply asking two months time from that
In order to get into shape.
J. II. REINECCINB.
Answer Wasem defeated Prank Gotoh
before Gotch became champion of America.
He Is not in Ootch's class now. Farmer
Burna has thrown Wasem each time they
have met, which was In Omaha and
Lincoln last winter. In the Omaha wrestles
Burns gained two successive falls In
seventeen ana twenty-eight minutes, res
pectively. Burns belongs In a class to
himself and probably his equal In all
respects haa never lived. Wasem has de
feated apme good men among whom are
Simmer, the 260-pound giant of Iowa. Dun

B0S1IER BILL AT TRAINING
Squires a Hard Man on Ambitious
Sparring Partner.
STORIES OF THE BIG AUSTRALIAN
Dope from His Camp Indicates lie la
Getting Good and Ready for
Ills Meeting; with
Barns.
BAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Juno 29.-Ed
Hagen. the ex-banker. Is Bill Squires'
latest sparring partner. The couple put
on the glove the other day for three two
minute rounds. Up to tha time of seeing
Bill. Hagen appeared trifle nervoua. but
soon confidence oosed out all over him for
Squires wa no larger than himself. Turn
ing to Tim McGrath he said, "I'll knock
this guy' block off," after which re re
sponded gayly to the call of time. Some
how or other no blocks wera knocked off
In the first round. Squires had on the
slow-speed clutch, and Hagen. who at
first had a corner on the caution market
found courage coming to him in chunks.
He became careless for Just a second,
not more and while Squire wa picking
him up McGrath' face was deadly pale,
while the hot tears burned their way down
the disconsolate feature of Barney Rey
nolds. "I knew he'd do it I knew it,"
sobbed Barney. "There' another sparing
partner lost to u."
But it was not to be thus. Hagen re
covered from the stiff right wlilch loosened
a rib or two, and true gladiator that he la,
bade the game go on. In round two and
three Hagen decided that there I safety
In distance. Shannon' gym I almost large
enough to permit of an automobile meet,
but Ed utilized every inch of 1t. Once
Bill got In close enough to wallop the
baker on the tonneau, but no damage re
sulted. When It was all over Bill, who
had become omewhat vexed at Hagen'
runaway tactics, wanted to go on for a
round or two more, but Eddie argued that
his initiation for that day was about
enough, and he lost no time in disponing
himself of th gloves. Barney Reynolds
liked Hagen because he is at leant a spar
ring partner, so when Squires promised to
be easy with him McGrath'8 19S protege
signed to become a member of the camp.
Already Squires has been sought many
times by several different manager urg
ing him to elgn article for fight provid
ing he worsted Tommy Burns. If Squires
does win his next opponent will likely be
Mike Schreck. Jimmy Coffroth, who Is
taglng the Squires-Burns fight, (wired
Billy Hogan asking Schrcck' manager if
he would put Bchreck against Squire for
a match early in August. This shows that
Jimmy believes Squires Is going to put it
all over Burns. There are many old fans
who believe the some thing, and the Au
stralian is at present the favorite in the
pools. In fact, there is a sincere hope on
the part of many that Burns will be hope
lessly beaten on account of his part in the
recent fight farce wtth Jack O'Brien at
Los Angeles.
Among Squires' supporter I Tex Rlck
ard, the Goldfield promoter, who made the
little western village famous by bringing
off the Gans-Nelson fight within Its limits
last September. Tlckard went over to see
Squires In training at Ban Rafael and was
greatly Impressed with Squires' work.
Rlckard and Barney Reynolds, who was
with him, think Squire a sure winner
over Burn and offered to back him with
thousands of dollars. Rlckard figure that
Squire Is the best man at Ms weight that
he ever saw, not even excepting Tom
Sharkey. AXter seeing Squires, Rlckard
made Jim Jefferles an offer to fight Squires
for a purse of $50,000, providing Squire
whips Burns. Jeffries answered that if
Squires proves he, I a fighter Rlckard'
offer will not go begging. All Jeff ask
is three month to get Into condition.
Manager Coffroth has made publlo the
prices he will charge for the battle at
Colma. The general admission will be (2,
and there will be accommodations for
4,110 spectators In that section. The re
served seats will be $5, $7.60 and $10. The
seats in the back rows of the boxes will
be $16, while the ringside box seats will
be $20. There will be seats for 9,000 spec
tators, which Is more than wa ever ar
ranged in old Mechanics' pavilion or any
other fight arena In Frisco. When Britt
and Nelson fought at Colma there were
7,(4)0 persons within the lnctosure. At that
fight the cheapest seats were $3. There
were 8,000 taken at that price.
BURNS IS TRAINING HARD
Canadian Getting: Into Good Shape
far Ills Sqvlrea Date.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29 Tommy
Burn ha been a busy athlete at Harbin
Springs for the last week. About six day
ago Tommy had hi first experience at real
mountain climbing and, contrary to advice.
he tried to Imitate Jeffrie, who 1 an ex
perienced hand at getting over the rough
place. Burns was out three hour and a
half and the member of his camp were on
the point of sending out a searching party,
when he was seen coming down Mount
Harbin toward the springs. He had had a
pretty rough Journey, he said, and wa so
sore that no work was done in the gym
that afternoon. As Tommy says In a letter
regarding the incident, "It taught me that
a fellow could get too much of anything,
even hill climbing."
The Canadian scrapper spends his after
noons in the hand ball court and In. the
gymnasium, but mostly In the former.
Burns Is something of a crank on the old
Irish game, and ao enthuslastio I he when
playing that a disputed point In a recent
game was the cause of a $50 side bet. Burns
was to play Burke and Bolts, two fighters j
rrom Sacramento, best two out of three
Sanies. He won the first and third, also
the bet. Both Bolts and Burke left the
camp the following morning.
Prof. Lwti, who Is directing the work at
the springs, writes: "Besides playing
hand ball. Tom boxes three rounds every
day, also three rounds at tho punching bag,
and I will not add to this amount of labor
for another week. Since arriving here the
boy haa taken off eight pounds, which I
consider Is plenty for the present. He Is
looking and feeling fine."

ha never boxed on this ooast Russell has
fine record to back him up, and if Her

fighter would put Herbert la line for soma

FOUR MILES TOO FAR TO ROW
Poas.bkreple ronne Asks Too Much
from the Oaremen.
NEW TORK. June 29 Will tho Tough
keepsie regatta of 1907 be the end of the
gruelling and heart-breaking four-mile
course? That Is the hope of such noted
oarsmen as Coach Courtney of Cornell,
Constance S. Titus, national amateur cham
pion; Fred Flalsted, former professional
Champion, and a score of other active and
interested rowers. Titus says It stunts the
growth of the undeveloped youths who row
In It.
For years the famous Hudson river
course has been the scene of the most bit
terly contested battles of eights in the
water. Toung men, boasting the courage
and endurance of the fabled giants, have
gone laughingly, even defiantly, into these
annual races and emerged wrecked In spirit
and often Injured physically. Experienced
scullers, veterans of the water, have gone
on record with statements that it Is almost
Impossible to send eight young men Into
one of these struggles without leaving per
manent lnjurle. They advance olld rea
son that the conditions of the race are
uch as to force the tender-limbed athlete
to accomplish more than his nature will
permit. Lining the bank are thousands of
his friends, all expecting him to do hi best.
The old familiar yells, the shout of ap
plause, a reputation for courage which he
must sustain and then the race itself. He
dare not show a yellow streak. It would
mean ostracism for life. The race Is over.
His crew has won. All the honor of the
test belong to his boat. But he reckons
not with the future. Veterans of the game
declare with no little emphasis that the
contest has left Its marks. For years
Coach Courtney ha led the crusade to
have the Poughkeepste Course reduced to
three miles.
"Four miles have killed athletically some
of America's noblest young men," said
Coach Courtney recently. "The distance Is
too long. That last mile Is a heart-breaker.
No man ha ever left hi boat after uch a
race with the same constitution with which
he entered It It 1 high time the American
college rowing authorities reduced the dis
tance. It mars the sport. It takes' away
much of the sportsmanship of the race and
leave It a gruesome struggle between
young fellows who are willing, but unfit
for It"

DEATH SEQUEL TO ROMANCE
Disappointment In Youth Wakes
Woman rtetlre from Sight
of Men.
An unfortunate ending to a romance In
her youthful day, with its subsequent vow
that no man should ever enter her home,
was Indirectly responsible for the death
the other day of 70-year-old Rosanna
Bohrer of Philadelphia. Her death also dig
closed the touching affection of two sister
who for many long year lived solely for
each other.
Refustng firmly to permit a physician to
be called, the unfortunate woman died In
the arm of her sister Henrietta, who I
84 year old and Who did everything in her
power to procure medical aid for the dying
woman.
Rosanna Bohrer was attacked wtth chills
the other night and suffered so Intensely
that her Bister advised her to break the
vow taken years ago and accept treatment
from a doctor. But the suffering woman
would not be persuaded. She begged her
sister to get a physician's advice, but told
her under no circumstances to bring one
to the bouse.
The faithful sister, in spite of her age.
ran to the home of Dr. Edgar Tully, Broad
and Tork streets, and after describing the
symptoms of Rosanna asked him for rem
edles.
The doctor said he could not treat a pa
tient properly under such Conditions, but
Henrietta Anally persuaded him to give
her aome medicine. She followed the dlree
tlons given and for a short time the suffer
ing woman rallied. But early the nex
morning she was again attacked with pain
and In attempting to get out of bed fell
Into her sister' arms and died. A the
cause of the woman's death I not known.
an autopsy must be performed.
Coroner' Deputy Joseph Barton, who In
vestigated the case, found that the sisters
had unfortunate love affair early In life,
a a result of which the vow that no man
should ever enter their home was made.
Not a word could be secured, however, as
to the 'character of the unfortunate ro
mance. Henrietta Bohrer, who Is heartbroken
ever her sister's death, said:
"My sister was a woman of determined
mind and she succeeded In nearly every
thing she ever attempted. I would not
think of ever doing anything against her
wilt. When she wss suffering I begged
her to allow me to bring In a physician,
but she would not hear of it.
"And then she knew there would be some
expense. She never had a doctor's hill In
her life and had determined to go through
life without one. And she did. We paid
our bill as we went and were dependent
upon no one."
The aged slaters were regarded aa re
cluses In the neighborhood. They held
aloof from neighbors and relative and
mad it a point never to ask anyone for a
favor. Tha curtains of their home were al
ways tightly drawn and they seldom an
swered the doorbell.
Henrietta bought all their food, while
Rosanna acted aa housekeeper. For years
they earned a living by doing embroidery
work at their home. About twenty years
age they reaolvtd to own the house in

PRIZE OF LONG STANDING
Scientist Capture Pnrae of $1,000 by
Demonstrating Velocity of
LUht nay.
A prlxe of $1,000 that has been standing
for forty-eight years to be awarded to any
resident of North America who should de
termine by experiment whether all rays of
light and other physical rays are or are not
transmitted with the same velocity haa been
won by Dr. Pi il R. Ileyl, assistant in the
department of chemistry of tho Philadelphia
High school.
The money wa deposited with the Frank
lin institute of Philadelphia on March 23,
1&9, by Uriah A. Boyden, in his day an
eminent mechanical engineer of Boston, and
the Institute ha advertised the proposition
monthly ever since.
During thla half century twenty-five or
thirty essays have been presented by In
vestigators, but after careful investigation
by a committee appointed in each case none
was found sufllclently meritorious to war
rant tho institute in granting the prize un
til the recent investigation by Dr. Ileyl was
submitted.
Dr. Ileyl succeeded In demonstrating by
experiment that those of the ultra-violet
rays of light for which glass Is transpar
ent, have the same velocity a the light
ray proper. He reasoned that If the ve
locity of these ray were different they
would not arrive from a distant source at
the some time.
For hi test he selected Algol, a well
known variable star In the constellation
Perseus, as the source of light. By means
of a diffraction grating he eliminated all
but the ultra violet rays of a known fre
quency, and by focussing them on a sensi
tive plate obtained photographs of the star.
For the purpose of Identifying the rays
so recorded wtth the visible rays, regarding
the time of their emission, he selected for
the time Of his test the time during which
the light of this star show the peculiar
phenomena of fading and recovering. The
period of thla variation I known to be
about six hours. During this period he took
several photographs, one-half hour apart,
each exposure being twenty minutes.
After developing the plate the successive
image plainly showed a fading and recov
ering, and although the exact location of
the minimum brightness could not be abso
lutely determined, the approximate coinci
dence of the time of the minimum bright
ness of the visible and the photographed
ray wa obvious.
These test were repeated several times
to eliminate the possibility of error- and
also to take in a certain range of the ultra
violet raya. The Investigation extended
over a period of two years. New Tork
