Lewis Dense, the little Kansas City forward, was the sensational player on the floor, and his five feet four Inches of ginger end speed was the feature of the entire two halves.

Sheald V sW,.. Itlac ea NEW YORK, March 30,-The victor ot George Carpentter, the French middle weight champion, . over Jim . Sullivan at Monte Carlo; . when, the 'Frenchman .won In seven minutes, has attracted the at tention of followers of pugilism to the progress ot- French boxers. Carpentier Is now the recognised middleweight cham plon ot Eusope. He has pace and a fine defense, which, together with excellent hitting powers, make him a dangerous opponent fit the ring. Ten years ago the Frenchman was still supposed to be physically and morally In capable to "f)ght like a Christian" (to quote the quaint phrase used by a worthy of the old prise ring), and when a little latef le boxe began to be cultivated In Paris It was possible tor the foreign critic re eoBtenrplatsr-tne- fwat products of the aew cult with mingled amusement and amassment. Tst there was no reason In tha nature of things why a race which had always excelled in the art of the sword should not also distinguish Itself In the ring. The chsracterlstlo qualities of the successful fencer- fine footwork, sec urate timing, the ability to Judge dis tance, the harmony of hand and eye. and a reserve ot nervous energypsre equally valuable In the modern game of boxing, while the campact physique ot the round-headd. short-necked French athlete and his .conquerable eourage ob viously provided him with tha capacity of withstanding punishment. " It wss soon evident that the deficiencies of the first French boxers were merely the result of a. lack of scientific teach' Ing. As to their possession of the physi cal and moral stamina (there Is really no such thing as merely physical cou rage), known as "bottom spirit". to the old-fsshloned pugilists, there was no doubt whatever. They could endure an Intolerable deal of pounding: as a ruls It required a knockout to extinguish the emits which they wore on entering the ring. And from the first the writer wss Impressed by the fact that as a result, no doubt of the national absemlousness in drinking, and the eating of flesh the French stomach Is much less susceptible to Jolts and drives than that of the average English or American pugilist. The Invasion of Paris by a number of American boxers provided the expert teaching required, and the result la seen today in thb appearance of a group of skilful and hard-hitting French pugilists whose style is In most cases ay blend of American and English methods. A few of theni adopt the so-called American -crouch, which, as the annals of the old prise ring clearly snow, la actually of English origin. But the best of them can only be called "Americanised" la the that they attack in two plane. paying as much attention to an opponent's body as to bis head, whereas tha point of the coin la the chief objective of t tack with nearly all English boxers. All. or nearly all, of them have a "punch."! This la a striking proof that the I French style la excellent In an essential J point, which I too often Ignored by Erie-1 Usb teachers of boxing. The faculty of hitting hard la not an Inexplicable Sift of the gods: H is the result of a proper . . k,. .,-,, balanclag of -the body which admits af toe constant uae of leg drive, which counts for as much la boxing as in row ing. Let anybody whs doubts this watch Jim tmscoll's foot work when he is at. tacking. This power of delivering blow wight ot the body drives hind them Is a common characteristic af tTto- otherwise differing in several respects, of Ledoux and Poesy, who hare contest wtlh the latter, . who must have been eight or nine poaads heavier an advantage equal to twenty five pounds In . the heavywelsrM claa.

EACH MAN CHOOSES HIS SPORT Preseat Order af Thlasrs la the Meat Important that Ilea Happeaed la a Generation la the Way at Sparta. NEW YORK, March JO.-On fact In connection with athletics In the college which has been forcing Itself forwsrd for the last half dosen years or more and which waa brought out strongly at the meeting of the National Colleglule Ath letic association Is that sports and athletio contests of sn Intercollegiate nature are becoming of Increasing portanc from day to day, although there la not now and hardly will be any tendency tor them to overshadow the Intercollegiate contests with their picked teams and keen rivalry. But from the point ot view of those who have the phy sical welfare of tha eollags student st heart the new order of things Is the moot Important that has happened la a generation. 1 . This asw plan of giving athletio exercise to the youth of the colleges, although ex- latlng and flourishing lb a more or less unorganised stats In nearly every college In the land, Is shown to Its beet advan tage In the new system of athletio train ing that has been Instituted at the Uni versity of Wisconsin by Dr. George W. Shier, who has been physical director since Dr. C. P. Hutchlns resigned to take up a similar poaltlon at Indiana uni versity. Dr. Khlcr began his task by abolishing practically entirely the old program of compulsory gymnsstlo and callsthenle classes and substituting training In the branch of sport which ths student thought he was best adapted to follow. For the first part of the college year the freshman class Is compelled to take Its regular exercla outdoors, and Dr. Khler ruled that every first year man had to play foot ball without the tackling feature. This continues until December I, snd then the students take to the gymnas ium, where Instead of being put through the several gymnsstlo exercises they are permitted to select one of any number of sports such ss rowing, track athletics, basket ball, swimming, fencing, boxing, meaning and elementary foot ball, to which they will devote' their attention until spring. In the sophomore year prac tically the same program Is followed out As a result of this new process of mak ing ths students take so many hours of rcgulsr athletic exerciss each week. Dr. Eltler ha built up such a desire for sthletirs as such that It la believed that in a short time there will not be the 'acuities to accommodate those who want to go in for the various sports, (.'amp Itandall, tha new athletio field. Is already well filled with baas ball dia monds and foot ball gridirons, but the number of strictly Intercollegiate teams that desire to make use of the ground is men-suing at such a rapid pace that there will hardly be room for them all if it continues. Dr. Ehler distinctly en courages the formation ot Intercollegiate, teams In all branches ot sport and hi efforts are not going unrewarded. With such an enormous number of men com peting It is smsli wonder that there Is never a dearth of candidates for any one branch of sport and that the Wisconsin teams are better than they have ever been In the past, taken one and all. But It kj not only at Wisconsin that the value of Intercollegiate porta bare been recognised, stthough at no other Institution sre there the facilities for them as have been made possible by Dr. Ehler. At Princeton there has been for tb last lew years a general develop ment In the Intramural Idea and no there are all-Princeton competitions In basket ball, bass ball, bowling, swim ming, lawa tennis and relay racing open to all students who havs sot the ability I to make the first or second varsity teams. The general athletic facilities were badly overtaxed at Princeton last year, but that has been remedied bow and this season there will be little (ear of crowding. Harvard has taken kindly to the new. Mea of athletics and so have practically all the colleges that support well-organised Intercollegiate teams. The following extract from the annual report of Preeldent Jacob Gould tSchurman of Cornell Is aa appreciation of the new or- dr of things: t "Side by aide with the successes in Inter collegiate athletics there is developing at Cornell university a system of home athletics which la peculiarly gratifying to those who recognise tb necessity of sports and game for young men. but who look with some apprehension on the ex- I (Continued oa Second Past.)

England. March Sk-Th an nual elshl-oared rowing contest between crews representing ths Oxford and Cam bridge universities which started this morning at Putney bridge, waa declared no race, after both shells had become waterlogged. The president of the Ox ford and Cambridge boat clubs bar de cided that the race shall be rowed again on Monday, April L Except for, the presence ot a strong westsrly wind, which boating experts oa the riverside estimated would give aa advantage to the crew which won tb toes (or position and selected the Surrey, or southern shore, delightful weather pre vailed for the sixty-ninth intervarslty boat race. . . The course was the usual an from Putney bridge to Mortlake, a dlstsnce ef four, snd one-fourth miles. At aa early hour the towing paths and other vantage points along the riverside began to fill with the ten of thousands who an nually attend the great aquatic struggl between the selected oarsmen of the two eld universities. Ox feral Ha l-oaa Lead. Oxford waa robbed of what would have been sn eaay win by rough weather. The Cambridge shell wss ths first to go under water a little over a mile from the start. The boat commenced to ship water soon aftsr the signal was si van to start. The oxford eight managed to get as far as Chlswlck Eyot, about three-quar ters of tha dlstsneo, whea tb boat had so much water on board that the crew had totop rowing. Unlike tha Cam bridge men, however, the Dark Blue, aftsr towing thslr boat oa shore and emptying out the water, re-embarked aaf ttluehed the. course. . , Oxford look ths lead la the race almost from tlie Mart. The Light Blue appeared nervous, and besides taking" In minia ture sea owing to choppy . waves, ther shipped more water from their oars. By the time they reached Harrod's Stores, a llltls over a mil from ths start, they were compelled to- abandon their boat The majority ot the crew swam ashore and the remainder were picked up by tlie umpire's host. The Oxford crew, by hugging the chore, kept out of the roughest water until they reached Chlswlck Eyot. There their eoach ordered them to ball out thslr shell, but they were unable to do so, or misunder stood the order. Instead at bailing thr went ashore, which Is a clear breach of the rule of the race, and the umpire's decision that tb contest wsa "as race" wss a foregone conclusion. Ths official time for th whol course from Putney to Mortlak la given at SI minutes, St second, but tb Oxford crew hsd already occupied IS minute when their host was swamped.
