WASHINGTON, Ic. 14 The meetings
of tits) tennis cabinet, which have been
more ;or lesa Interrupted by bad weather
latelyJ will aoon be forced to aubmlt to a
Ion Adjournment. The high arreen of
green, an vss already atralna at Ita moor
ings fa the wintry wind whistles through
the cfescent shaped aperaturea with which
the tipper portion of the acreen la orna
mented. There are two of theae canvaa walla, one
at eafih end of the famoua court Just aouth
of thw new office wing of the White House.
Fortunately for purpoaea of privacy, the
Whit House lot at thla point la very much
higher than the atreet running between It
and the State. War and Navy building.
The bank, topped with a thick hedge,
helpe ' to isolate the court, and the high
green 'iurtain effectually finishes the work.
The arreen at the opposite end and the
wall ttf the offlce wing complete the en
closing of the court on three aldea.
It la open to the aouth, though it la pro
tected even In that direction by a hedge
and by a burly policeman who takee a
spellbound Interest In the games. The- court
Itself Is paved with asphalt which looks
pretty gritty. It la the black, coarae
variety.
There are no chalra or benches; no room
for them. In fact. The court la a strictly
utilitarian affair without any frlllle what
ever, with the exception of those crescent
ahapei holes with their carefully bound
edges.,
When the president comes ou to play
he looks like a big. self-aatlsfled boy. A
very big boy. In fact, for although not as
fat a he waa. he neverthelesa makee a
very Husky looking figure.
He weara no hat, has on a heavy dark
blue aweater of the poeler variety, ordinary
dark trousers and black tennis shoes. Kven
when the other players disport themselves
In flannels and aoft shirts with rolled up
aleovea the president sticks to his aweater
and his heavy trousere.
The reason for this Is perhapa his dealre
further to reduce his weight by getting
into a good perspiration. Dut If that la
tha reason the wonder la that he doesn't
play a more active game.
If he really wanta to, perspire under his
heavy clothing let him do aa M. Jusserand
doea. The latter dancea nimbly about the
court, covering about ten miles to the pres
ident's one.
At tbe aame time the present, though
a rather ponderous player, seems to keep
up hla end of the game; He geta most
of the Vila that come hla way, though if
he woto to try alngles It might be a vary
different atory.
When his partner la serving the presi
dent stands too close to the net for so sta
tionary a player aa he la. Ball after ball
goea by him. The other fellow In the back
court chasing, from aide to aide, doea all
the work.
At leaat he doea the llon'a ahare of It,
although when a stray ball doea chartce
to come gear enough for the president
to get It the latter ahowa a, very valuable
trait In a net player. He la cool enough
to make use of his position in placing the
ball for a difficult return.
Hla play la not at alt free. He rarely
Uses a, ahoulder awing. Hla arm works
almost entirely from the elbow.
The whole Impression one haa In watching
him lirjne of tightness, of concentration.
"While ""the ball Is In play hla muscles aeem
to be Screwed together. He bunches his
shoulders, crouches his knees, sticks his
bead forward.
He U.llke a great animal crouched for an
attack And when the ball comes near him
be gives it a sort of cuff with hla racquet,
the motion -being made without releasing
the tettteness of his attitude.
. When the ball la no longer In play he
stralglilens up, throws back his head, and
with dnest out, chin in, tramps solidly
acrosa IJo the other aide and tlghtena up
for th next ball.
Hla own serve la unlike that of any other
member of the tennla cabinet. He attempts
no- overhand work, no cuta or dropa or
fancy business of any description. He holds
his racquet above his head In exact posi
tion ft staking the ball a straight, hard
blow. T .
Tha ball Itself he holds right against the
racnuek For several seconds he stands
absolutely motionless In that position and
then, smack! be hlta the ball one of thoae
bard, short, straight blowa.
He makes comparatively few false serves.
He doea not take advantage, as most
playera do, of the first try by attempting
to get a difficult and hazardous ball over
the net.- Sometimes he serves an entire
gam without making use of the second
try at any one serve.
His aarve ahould not be very bard to
return. , The balls are swift but they are
straight; and owing to hla habit of poising
hla racquet so long before hitting the baa?,
which meaitlme ts also right in position, a
shrewd player ought to be able to tell Just
where to expect It.
WATER, INTERESTS FAIR HARVARD
Aaatl Snort Absorb All Atteatloa
at Caaahrtdavo Now.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. T.-The talk
In athlrtlc circlea at Harvard haa now
turned to the work to be done during the
winter and early aprlng In the sports that
will occupy the attention of tha Crimson
athletes, when the blue birds sing again.
Base ball, track and rowing are the princi
pal subjects of discussion, with the last
named the most prominent In every ath
letic talk, where thre or more husky lads
are gathered together. The intereat In row
ing haa grown to amaslng proportions in
tha laat eight montha and thla la largely
due to the building of the new .Weld boat
house with Ita accommodations for so many
mora crewa than Mhe old quarters af
forded. The new houae stands on the Cambridge
side of the Charlea river on the road to
Soldiers' field. It la a cement structure
with red brick trimmings and la consider
ably larger than the old Weld boat houae
srhtch formerly stood on tha site of the new
house, and which haa been moved up the
river. Mont of the apacloua rooms on the
rround floor are given to the storage o'
:he shells. The racks are not half filled aa
yet, many of tha Weld club shells being
till at the Newll boat houae on the other
tide of tha river, from which the "varsity
tquad row.
There are bertha for over forty boats in
he new building, but at present It contains
inly eight sixty-foot eight-oared shells. AH
f these were uaed thla autumn by the
tewly organlaed dormitory crewa. At tha
etra and of the first floor la a large
worn fitted up aa a ahell repair shop. Here
ifter.the club will repair ita own boats and
iius save jnuch delay In training. On the
econd floor are tha hatha and tha locker
voids.
Tha new house has 700 kxkers. Over half
lie number nave already been engaged.
Ihe large locker rooina and baths are sit
laled at both uda of thla building and be
tween them Is a large social room. At
either end of this room Is a huge fireplace,
in white marble, and the furnishings of the
room are In keeping with the flreplacea.
One of the pleasing' features of the new
building Is a series of balconies along tha
first and second atories. from which guesta
of the club may view the rowing on tha
river to the best advantage.
Harvard haa a system for securing row
Ing material which Is Mndnubtedly the best
used In American colleges today. When
Coach Wray suggested last year that each
of the college dormitories organise a crew
of Its own to compete against other dormi
tory crews In a fall regatta the Idea waa
received with enthuslaam. Laat year's dor
mitory day. Or bumplngday, as It Is some
times called from the fact that some of the
events are bumping matches, waa a great
success. It gave a great number of the
university students a chance to participate
In events where they had some show of
winning, and few who had any Interest at
all In aquatics missed the opportunity.
Aa aoon aa the term opened thla year the
organisation of the dormitory crewa was
taken up just aa enthusiastically aa foot
ball was begun on Soldiers' field. Indeed,
the enthusiasm In rowing Is so keen at
present that It la a question whether row
ing has or hss not supplanted foot" ball In
the hearta of the Harvard students.
During the fall the fifteen dormitories
housing Harvard students turned out ten
eights. Each crew takes the name of Its
dormitory, and the following reported for
training at the new boat house every after
noon: Russell, Hollls-Stoughton, Matthews,
Grays, Randolph. Weld, Holyoke, West-
morley, Cralgh-Waverly and College House-
The completion of the new house means
a new epoch In Harvard rowing. The Weld
house haa become the home of the dormi
tory crews, a source of rowing material
which was iinknown before the new house
was a certainty, aa It would be Impossible
to have the dormitory crews and the 'var
alty and freshmen eights train from the
same house. Coach Wray confines his at
tention to the 'varsity and freshmen
squads, which he .trains from the Newell
boat house. The dormitory crews are under
tha direction of Coaches Brown and
Stephenson.
FORWARD PASS BOON TO CAME
(Continued from Page One.)
are necesi-ary. Tkey claim that the big
contests this fall proved concuslvely that
In Its principal featurea the revised fima
Is greatly superior to the old.
Before the Yalc-Prlnceon game, how
ever, certain prominent coachea were of
the opinion that four downa for ten yards
woum bo better than thre, and tftat the
acorlng value of a drop kick should be
decreased from four points to two nr thrM
points. Some coaches even suggested that
me rumble under certain circumstances
should not result In loss of the hail Art.-
the big New Haven contest the reformers
saw that a good team with a srood ntt.rtr
did not find three downa for ten yards
too great a handicap. They beheld other
thlnga, too, which placed the forward pass
and onslde kick outside the realm of mr
chance.
Tale and Princeton showed the foot ball
world that careful blondlna- of the. nnan
game with compact line plays and so-
called -old foot ball'' was the solution of
the problem of attack which had hn
Bldered seriously balked by many atudents
or me game.
It Is almost certain that several ana,.
gestlons will be made to tha rulea com.
mittee by coaches who detected certain
alight weaknesses In the code, under un
usual conditions. If It Is found necessary
to use the blue pencil In tho rule book
here and there, the playing code next sea
son will be found more comprehensive In
detail. All the big features are likely to
remain Just as they are, and that la what
the spectator wants to see. Tha" new
game has proved Its worth aa a splendid
test for the players and a great spectacle
for the cheering thousands In the stands.
NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Dee. 14 Walt. r
Camp la not for the abolishment of the
rorward pass In foot ball, as was stated In
Borne quarters, but he Is Inclined to the
belief that the modification of the rule
by which the penalty of loss of tha Knit
waa changed to a loss of fifteen yards for
an Incompleted pass, in the first two
downs, has resulted In too loose a style of
play.
In 1906. whenever tho forward naia waa
tried and failed, the side passing the hall
lost It on the epot where the pass was
made. In the winter or 1906-07 the rule
makers found so much talk in the air
about the forward pass and heard ao much
agitation for the open and yot more open
game, that the more conservative' element
In the committee acceded to the sugges
tions of the Inexperienced radicals to mod
ify the penalty on the paaa, so that two
attempts could be made to succeed with the
play before the ball ahould be lost.
The result haa been, aa Mr. Clapp sug
gested, that elevens not properly coached
in any systematic method of piny, and
being hard pressed to gain a little advan
tage, have rot In the habit of thrnm-lnv th
ball promiscuously around "the field, hop
ing tr.at aome lucky turn of the foot ball
wheel will give them yards enough to hold
the ball on downs. This Is not foot ball
and It la this practice that Mr. Camp aeeks
to eliminate from tha game, and not the
forward peas. Indications are plentiful
that Mr. Camp will be supported by more
than one college man of authority when
the rules committee meets for Its next an
nual aesslon.

Farmer Baraa a Praalay.
Martin Burna, or aa he la better known.
Farmer Burna, la regarded aa a prodigy,
because at nearly 60 he la still the best
man on the mat for his weight or any
where near his weight. Only a few days
ago. Prof. M. J. Dwyer, one of the best
known wrestlers In the country, made the
assertion In the office of The Bee that
Farmer Burna waa In a class by himself;
that he waa the best man for his weight
who ever entered tha arena, and that he
waa aa good today aa he waa ten yeara
ago and would continue to hold his own
for yeara to come. Thla la the recognised
view of wrestlers. It la the view of Frank
Ootch, champion. Burna' life furnishes one
of the beat illustrations of longevity among
wrestlers who have observed sober habits.
He la even eccentric In hla mode of living.

live out of doors, on my farm. I play with
my boys, I play base ball with the home
team and keep young with all sorts of
sports. I don't swear, because swearing
excites a man and I avoid all excitement.
When I go to a town to wrestle "1 get a
room at an out-of-way hotel, where people
can't find me and where they don't have
telephones In my room. I don't read the
yellow newspapers, because they have lies
about murders and all sorts of wild things.
Reading them excites a man's nerves and
that's bad for him."
Burns la a great admirer of Frank Ootch,
to whom he taught the game of wrestling;
he thinks Gotch is the beat man alive to
day, but he has a word of reproof for
Qotch.
"Frank is a good boy and the best
wrestler there is, but he won't last long.
Frank's a popular fellow; everybody likes
to meet him and talk with him. Ile a edu
cated and he reada everything. When he
goea to a town for a match he puts up at
the best hotel, with a' telephone in hla
room and where bellboys can be running
in all the time with messagea from ad
mlrera who want to see him. That's bad
for Frank's nerves. A wrestler who Uvea
as he ought Is a mun of peace, because his
whole body is well poised and he always
feels good."
1.1st of Old-Tlmters.
Here is a list of old-timers, prepared by
aome veteran aportlng writer, with his In
troductory remarks. . '
Is there a force or magnetism call It
electricity at work that benefits those en
gaged In this exercise?
The experienced wrestler thinks so. yet
It Is only dimly understood by. btm and not
at all by the average man. Perhaps the
ancient Greeks recognised this bcnellcial
influence when they established wrestling
schools, where children, both boys and
girls, aa young as 5 yeara of ase, were
tauitht. They considered wrestling the
most artistic and skillful of all exercises.
It no doubt contributed a vat share to
their love for the beautiful In human
form.

YOST STILL LOYAL TO THE WEST
Mlchlaan Coach Iterlinrs to Admit
I Eaatern Superiority.
DETROIT. Mich., Dec. 14. "Hurry up"
YoBt, who had charge of the foot ball work
of the Wolverines the past season, still
refuses to accede that the east haa any
thing on the west o nthe gridiron. Despite
the fact that Pennsylvania haa defeated
his proteges two yeara running .and the
Indians outclassed both Minnesota and
Chicago, he still claims that the west Is
every bit the equal of the east. Perhapa
hla argument has aome base, aa he aays
that the restrictions placed on the teams
of the west far exceed any Imposed upon
the athletic squads of the Institutions on
the other aide of Ohio. He further atated
thatlf Minnesota, Chicago and Michigan
were permitted to train in the same man
ner aa any three college teams of the
east the wesArn universities would defeat
those from the eaat.
He referred to the game between Michi
gan and the Carlisle Indiana In 1901, when
the former won by a score of 22 to 0 in
two twenty minute halves. He stated
that the year thla foat waa accomplished
the Wolverines had been permitted to hold
preseason training and had the use of a
training table aa well as a logical schedule.
Under the same conditions he claima that
his team woud defeat the red and blue
aggregation, which thla year took the
measure of the westerners in a C to 0
match. He says that under the present
foot ball system In the west the teams are
not alowed to round Into form, as they
have to confine their playing aeason to
five or seven gamea.
Notwithstanding the fact ' that the of
ficers awarded the game to the University
of Pennsylvania, Yoat still claima that the
touch-down made by Magoffin ahould have
been allowed. He says that It haa been
mathematically ahown that such, should
have been the case. Berldes these facts,
he also thinks the plan of allowing the
freshmen to participate In a ached ule of
their own is an advantage to the eastern
teams. He stated that thia gives them
just a year's start over the west. But
he seems to think the greatest atrength of
his argument lies in the fact of the longer
schedules, which the east have and that
the institutions there are permitted to sup
port training tablea. He says the results
of the contests with the eastern teams
show that what he haa contended right
along In correct that they are laboring
under a heavy handicap when working
under the revised western conference rules.
"I am from an eastern college myself,"
said Yost, "but they have not shown the
west anything yet that would convince
me that, under exact condltiona on the,
atart and through the aeason. they have
anything on the west,"
ATHLETICS LIFT THE MORALS
This ia Testimony of College Presi
dents Regarding Their Students.
QUAKERS TAKE THIS POSITION
Dr. Wadsworth of Rellevae Attri
butes the II I ah Order of Amer
ican Collrares to' This
Very Fact.
College athletics are not tolng condemned
as they were two yeara ago when foot
ball waa running away with all other
sports and charges and counter charges
were made between the colleges and uni
versities on the subject of professionalism.
The colleges themselves were the first to
see that something radical had to be done
and they were not slow In doing It. Radical
changes were made In the rulea and all
the colleges co-operated and a complete
cleansing of tha athletic atmosphere re
sulted, so that all colleges are now above
suspicion, for no college would take the
chance of having the finger of acorn
pointed at It for having professionalism In
Its athletics.
President Guy W. Wadsworth.of Belle
vue college In responding to a toast at
tho banquet given last week by the ex
students or Bellevue to the championship
foot ball team of 1907, aald there was no
comparison between the morals of the
American and Flngllsh collages and thoae
of tha universities on the continent and
he attributed thla large difference to ath
letics. "Athletics give tha student body an op
portuity to work off Its surplus energy,"
said Dr. Wcdsworth. "The students are
impressed of the fairnesa In all thlnga by
the constant consideration of the fact that
athletics must be conducted fair and open.
No underhand work la countenanced. The
atudents of American colleges Interest
themselves In the athletics of their schools
and thla occupies their time and attention
In their leisure moments instead of tha
system which Is In practice In European
schools of carousing around beer gardens,
which Is, of course, demoralising."
What Preaideat Bharplrss Bays.
President Isaao Sharpless of Haverford
college, the old Quaker institution, de
clared In an address to the students last
week that during the last twenty-five
years college morala have Improved as the
result of the development of athletics in
his college. He maintained that foot ball
had not usurped the functions of Intellec
tuality, but appeared to have promoted
them.
Thia declaration closely follows 8wartb
more college's refusal or the ll.OoO.OOO bo
quest made with the proviso that athletics
must ba abolished there.
Among other things President Bharpless
said:
"Wa hava had at Haverford a moat suc
cessful root ball aeason. I do not merely
reter to the fact that wa won threa-fotrths
of th gamea when I say successful. There
are other matters which go to n.ake up the
count In our favor, which appeal to me
more strongly than that. I think wa hava
gone through the season showing to tha ''
foot ball world that wa are able to play"!
reputable foot ball here; that we treat - s
our opponents In a sportsmanlike way;
that we play games on a clean and legal
basis.
"It Is also a aatisf action to mo to not
in looking over the marks of tha foot ball
men for the quarter, taking Info account
the eleven who began the game "with
Trinity, that only one of them bad an
average of leas than 'C;' only one of them
had an exceaa of cuta, and that was, I
think, not due to foot bajl. The captain of
the team, who certainly did hla duty In the
field aa captain, had an average of 'A'
for the quarter, and ha had no cuts at all.
"I think probably the foot ball players
have lived a more hygtenm Ufa during tha
time they have played than many of trie
other atudents."
PASTIME A, C. INDOOR MEETING
Jamaary 2T at Madison Rasutre with
Thirteen Events.
NEW YORK, Dec. 14. The Pastime Ath
letic club haa decided to hold ita annual
Indoor meet In Madison Square Garden on
January 27. A program of thirteen events
has been decided upon and will Include
practically all the field and track events
possible to be held In an Indoor session.
The three-mile and 0o-yard runs, however,
will be the features.
It is expected that all the cracks In the
east and west will send In their entries
for either one or the other, and already a
number of the pick or the metropolitan
runners hkva slgniried their IntenUon of
