The riders broke the record for all other first hours of the nice, by going over twenty-six miles In the sixty min utes. This was met. with cheers, but the real excitement of the first hour came when two men and three women tried to cross the track. McDonald's wheel swerved anil he rolled down the track. Iminedbflely four other riders had piled in a heap of men, women and bicycles. The HERE ARE THE PRINCIPALS IN A BIG TURF ROW riders were* Stol, Hollister, Buppecht and Downing. Ail save Stol had to be relieved by their partners. The women were sent home. The later and more sensational spill from the race point of view was that In which McLean, WaJthorn's riding partner, was mado unconscious McLean was rounding the Madison avenue turn at a furious speed when he fell. Buppecht, McDonald, L. Oer- oget and Clark piled on top of him. Spectators rushed to the track and picked up the Injured rider.

NO BIG GAME TO BE_ADDED IF YALE FILL8 HARVARD VACAN CY IT WILL BE WITH MI NOR GAME. Tis the Practical That’s Appreciated In the selection of a suitable gift for a relative or very close friend, bear in mind that it is the practical, useful arti cle: that touches the heart chords and make them vibrate with appreciation : * : : : New Haven, Conn., Dec. 10.—In case Harvard drops out of intercollegiate athletics the chances are not bright for Yale's filling her place on the football schedule with another big university team. The Yale faculty thinks that game of the caliber of Yale-Prlnce- on Is about enough. They have, how- ver. allowed Yale l radii ion to go unbroken and allowed both her undent rivals to be met annually. Should one, however, quit her schedule. Indie lions arc that nobody will be substi tuted. Since it was announced that the liar vaid overseers would not vote on the retention of intercollegiate sports, ru mors have sprung up that Yale would take on Pennsylvania. It Is extremely likely that the Yale faculty will tell the football offidalM that a minor ce tege or mine at all will take H nr van phtco on the football schedule.

The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association at its annual meeting at Sewanee Saturday took several steps looking toward the purification of college, athletics iu the South. For one thing the association accepted the resinations of Tu- lanc and Florida State University, which ought to help some. For another thing the limit on the length of time a man can Compete in intercollegiate athletics was cut down from five years to four. Undoubtedly this was a good move. .Many questions have arisen over men who held over a fifth year in college in order to play football, and there 1ms often been a doubt as to the amateur standing of some of these fifth year men. The North Carolina A. and M. was blacklisted as it deserved to he, for refusing to play games it had scheduled. The association will wait for an apology from N. 0. A. and M. for playing inel igible men agninst Clemson before allowing any S. I. A. A. teams to .. "t the North Carolina college. Every day it is worn will causethe wearer to think of the donor and a stronger tie of friendship is sure to follow. FREDS.

The “first year residence” rule, which provided that no man could take part in intercollegiate athletics until after he had been a year in college, was beaten by a close vote. This rule would undoubtedly have done much to prevent the procuring of players by illegitimate means, for no hired player is likely to stay a year in college before he plays a game and no col lege is likely to hire a man and let him stay idle a year. However, this rule would have hit too haril nt technical schools where there is always a big freshman class and a small senior class. Owing to the severity of the courses in the technological schools not a very large per cent of men get by the freshman year and with a "one year residence” rule in force the available mate rial vould be cut right, down to the hone. A motion was passed that "it was the sense of the association that no student should he permitted to engage iu post-season foot ball games as members of athletic club teams and ‘.her teams.” Whether this rule was passed in the nature of a request or a command is not known, it will make some difference, however, as several Clemson players expected to take part in the Christinas and New Year's football games at Charleston and Savannah, and • Tech players planned to shine on the Atlanta Athletic Club team- FChristmas Day. BASEBALL'S BEGINNING. When the times were first begun and the making of the sun Was In progress. Mistress Kve and Mr. Adatn ruled the land.

For we've eaten many apples from the one forbidden tree; They have got tis on the slope and It's up to us to lope— We must hurry ’fore we’re notified and told to twenty-three." “But see here," said Mr. Adam, "I’ve a pressing question, madam: How can we live hereafter, for I’m sure we cannot work?" "Just leave that thing to me; I’ve a mighty scheme," said she. "We will coin the precious boodle, if we don’t thtn I’m a Turk.” So she summoned all the creatures, with both guy and gloomy fea tures.

POP WARNER, OF CORNELL, WANTS TWELVE MEN ON FOOTBALL TEAM Ithaca. N. Y.. Dec. 10.-rFoacli Warner, of the Cornell football team, declares that lie is In favor of having 12 men comprise the football team. He -ays he has found It difficult under the new rules to formulate plays with eleven men, and that he Is convinced that a better game could be played with 12 men. "Each time I had a play figured out.” said Marner. "It failed to please me, for It seemed that there was always one player missing.” lie illustrated his remarks with a diagram, showing how, on the of fense. the drawing tmek of a linesman for a plunge revealed the purpose and weakened the line. On the defense, he showed how easy It was to draw off the meager secondary defense by a fake play. An extra man in the rear, he contended, would balance the offense and make the game more a match on even terms. •*I would like to see all restrictions removed from the forward pas*. The rule giving the ball to the other side when it hits the ground has mode teu#m afraid to employ It. while the limit of Its use to once In each play and compelling it to be passed 3 yards from renter have kept the play from lx ins developed to Its fullest extent."
